Mirror Bible (Wide Margin) Mirrorword Publishing

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

People who have stopped reading the Bible or never even read it before say about The Mirror, "I have never read anything that touched me so deeply, it is a brand new Bible, I cannot wait to give it to all my friends!" The Mirror Bible is a paraphrase from the original Greek text. While the detailed shades of meaning of every Greek word have been closely studied, this is done taking into account the consistent context of the entire chapter within the wider epistle, and bearing in mind the full context of Jesus as the revealer and redeemer of the image and likeness of the invisible God in human form, which is what the message of the Bible is all about. To assist the reader in their study, I have numerically superscripted the Greek word and corresponded it with the closest English word in the italicized commentary that follows. This is to create a direct comparison of words between the two languages. Many words used in previous translations have adopted meanings in time that distract from the original thought. Individual words can greatly influence the interpretation of any conversation. For years deliberate as well as oblivious errors in translations were repeated and have empowered the religious institutions of the day to influence, manipulate and even abuse masses of people. Consider the word metanoia, consisting of two components, meta, together with, and nous, mind, suggesting a radical mind shift. This word has always been translated as "repentance," which is an old English word borrowed from the Latin word, penance. Then they added the "re" to get even more mileage out of sin consciousness. Re-penance. This gross deception led to the perverted doctrines of indulgences, where naive, ignorant people were led to believe that they needed to purchase favor from an angry god. Most cathedrals as well as many ministries were funded with guilt money. The Bible is a dangerous book! It has confused and divided more people than any other document. Scriptures have been used to justify some of the greatest atrocities in human history. People were tortured, burned to death and multitudes murdered based on somebody's understanding of the scriptures! Jesus, Paul and believers throughout the ages faced their greatest opposition from those who knew the scriptures. If it is such a dangerous document, how does one approach the book? The Mirror unveils the Incarnation Code as the key that unlocks the mystery message of scripture. The romance of the ages is revealed here.

26 New Etudes for Trumpet Back To Classic Music In Print Ltd.

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

A companion book to: "Concert Duets for Trumpet" Words from the author: It is important that aspiring musicians become fluent in all of the major and minor keys. When I was a student, I was never entirely satisfied with the few choices of resources that contained well-written etudes in all keys. There have been some attempts but many of them have some standard keys missing, others are purely technical and lacking in musicality. Others were too high or too long and left them out of reach of emerging players. Further, finding a single resource that laid out all of the major and minor scales and arpeggios in a simpler manner was more difficult than it should have been. I did not need or want several pages of the same scale written out in a dozen or more rhythmic patterns and meters. As a result, I started playing the scales from memory in a manner that suited me. I have included these scales in this book. I also wrote them in such a way to include arpeggios at the end of each scale. This eliminates the need to have separate scales and arpeggio exercises. I recommend that all players from emerging ones to professionals play all the major and minor scales every day. Once the scales are memorized, the player will be ready to begin playing them with more speed. Eventually, all the scales can be played quite quickly and be completed in a very short time. At this point, you will find that many things may be easier for you as a player: sight-reading, transposition, or improvisation for example. THE ETUDES I have attempted to write etudes that are accessible enough for young, emerging players but still be enjoyable and challenging by even the most advanced players. I tried to avoid writing in a purely technical manner and made a concerted effort to make them musically rewarding, fun to play, and diverse in style and material. Of the 26 etudes, 24 of them are in a unique time signature. Only 4/4 and 6/8 time were used twice. While a few of the meters I chose are rarely used in common practice, it is still important that students are familiar with them. Too many etude books write in only a handful of the most common time signatures and as a result, the rhythmic patterns in the etudes tend to fall in similar and predictable patterns. I made a conscious effort to keep the length of every etude manageable. Some etudes are too long for younger players and they become tests of endurance rather than of technique and musicality. Along these same lines, I avoided writing notes above concert G5. This way, most of these etudes will be able to be played even by players whose range is still developing. TEMPO MARKINGS I did place a metronome marking at the beginning of every etude. They are merely suggestions. Some of them may need to be played slower, especially at first. Others you may choose to play faster than the suggested. OTHER BENEFITS Having been a teacher of music theory for a number of years, I cannot stress enough the importance and benefits of knowing all major and minor scales and arpeggios. The reasons for this are too numerous to explain here. What I can say is that having scales memorized, and being able to recall them quickly will help with the study of intervals, triads, aids melodic dictation skills and more. All of the aforementioned topics are an integral part of any higher education music theory course. To listen to the etudes, visit: www.back2classic.us.

'Eley Williams's debut novel, The Liar's Dictionary, is a lexicographical delight.' Observer'Deft and clever, refreshing and rewarding ... An assured and satisfying writer, her language rich and intricate and her characters rounded enough to be sympathetic and lampoonist enough to be terribly funny.' Literary Review '[The] most exciting of young British writers ... Williams luxuriates in words and wordplay, in definition and precision and invention ...The Liar's Dictionary is a public joy, and Eley Williams a free-spirited literary kook with bags of potential.' Big Issue'Made me almost tearful with gratitude that a book as clever as this could give such uncomplicated pleasure ...And when you find a book like this, you grab it, and you hold it close.' John Self'A delight ... As funny and vivid as Dickens, as moving and memorable as Nabokov ... An extraordinarily large-hearted work.' The Critic 'A singular, hilarious, word-drunk novel, which I suspect will be seen in the future as a classic comic novel.' David Hayden, Irish Times'The Liar's Dictionary is the book I was longing for ...Positively intoxicated with the joy and wonder of language ... Eley Williams brings erudition and playfulness - and lovely sweetness - to every page.' Benjamin Dreyer, New York Times bestselling author of Dreyer's English __________________________mountweazel, noun: a fake entry deliberately inserted into a dictionary or work of reference. Often used as a safeguard against copyright infringement.In the final year of the nineteenth century, Peter Winceworth has reached the letter 'S', toiling away for the much-anticipated and multi-volume Swansby's New Encyclopaedic Dictionary. Overwhelmed at his desk and increasingly uneasy that his colleagues are attempting to corral language and regiment facts, Winceworth feels compelled to assert some sense of individual purpose and exercise artistic freedom, and begins inserting unauthorised, fictitious entries into the dictionary. In the present day, young intern Mallory is tasked with uncovering these mountweazels as the text of the dictionary is digitised for modern readers.Through the words and their definitions she finds she has access to their creator's motivations, hopes and desires. More pressingly, she must also field daily threatening anonymous phone calls. Is a suggested change to the dictionary's definition of marriage (n.) really that controversial? What power does Mallory have when it comes to words and knowing how to tell the truth? And does the caller really intend for the Swansby's staff to 'burn in hell'?As their two narratives combine, Winceworth and Mallory must discover how to negotiate the complexities of an often nonsensical, untrustworthy, hoax-strewn and undefinable life.__________________________The Liar's Dictionary explores themes of trust and creativity, naming the unnameable, and celebrates the rigidity, fragility and absurdity of language. It is an exhilarating debut novel from a formidably brilliant young writer. __________________________'This tale of lexical intrigues is an absolute joy to read! It's gloriously inventive and playful, but with just the right amount of heart.' LUCY SCHOLES

Sock Knitting Master Class Interweave Press Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Finalist in the About.com Reader's Choice Awards for Best Knitting Book of 2011. "Budd's latest book is a trove of expertise, with patterns from 15 of the craftiest sockistas around, no surnames necessary...Every project adheres to the holy trinity of custom sock knitting--fit, comfort, aesthetics. And if you can't get enough of this collected wisdom in words alone, a 95-minute sock tutorial by Budd is included on an accompanying DVD." - Cheryl Krementz, Yarn Market News "Ann Budd is at it again. She's pulled together another great collection of patterns, this time from master sock designers. There are 17 sock designs, and there isn't one I wouldn't love to wear." - Cindy Koepke, Knitcircus "It seems like just about all the big names in knitting -- particularly sock knitting -- are featured in Ann Budd's excellent new book Sock Knitting Master Class...In addition to the fantastic patterns, which offer a wide variety of options for both toe-up and top-down knitters (and even one sock that goes both directions!), an introductory section covers just about all you'd ever need to know about some of the design choices that go into making a sock." - About.com Guide to Knitting "If the designers aren't enough to draw you in, there's much more in here for sock novices and sock aficionados alike. With topics like sock design, toe up and top down construction, and the best bind offs for toe-up socks, this book will take you from zero to sock in no time." - KnitPurl yarn shop (Portland, OR) "This book is a really valuable collection of patterns and techniques that any sock knitter will use again and again." - Jenny, KnitPicks.com "I'm really glad to have this book because it has so many patterns, from lace to cable to colorwork, and the socks are all beautiful. Also, the techniques have plenty of charts, diagrams and photographs to make learning easy." - Pamela MacKenzie, MyCentralJersey.com "The facts alone will make you want this book: 15 of the knitting world's best sock designers, 18 sock designs, Ann Budd talking basic how-tos and design tips and Clara Parkes talking sock yarn, and a 95 minute DVD. All of the technique and yarn information is so well organized and thought out that a knitter could read the book and not knit a single sock and still come away having learned a lot about sock knitting." - Knitty.com "...the patterns! Beautiful, yet functional stitch designs and fun colors." - CraftGossip.com Knitting Editor "It's not often that I scoop a book from the top of the review pile and take it home with me, and it's even less common for me to sit down and read it right away. But with sock knitting on my mind, I was intrigued, so last night I sat down to peruse this over a cup of tea. I was absolutely delighted to see that the first chapter of the book is devoted to explaining the whys and wherefores of sock construction. Top-down or toe-up? She's got it covered. Heel flap, short row or afterthought heel? Ditto. Want to choose from a pointed toe, a spiral or star toe, or a toe band? She's got your back with that, too. This book seems like just the right foundation for someone who's ready to strike out on their own - even if the starting place is just switching out the heel or toe treatment for one that suits them better." - Austen Gilliland, craft editor, CanadianLiving.com "You think you already know everything there is to know about socks? After all, there are a multitude of sock books on the market these days, perfectly good books. You know everything. Except...do you really? Most (though not all) sock books I own are either filled with patterns with not a whole lot of time spent on technique, or they're full of guidance but with blah patterns. Of course, some do hit the balance between pattern and technique. Some are fairly exhaustive, in fact, and you may already have them on your shelves. But...they're not THIS book. First, this book is by Ann Budd, a genius in our time...Master Class is the right name!" - KnittingScholar.com "Some features I particularly like in the book: each pattern has a box listing the different techniques used in the pattern; an overview of different styles of creating parts of the sock, such as a few different heel types, toes, and cuff treatments; both top-down and toe-up construction techniques; a handy DVD in the back. If you are looking for some great new sock patterns or just looking to get started knitting socks, this book is sure to have what you need." - A Woolie Tale yarn shop "If you're a fan of socks and of learning more about how to put together socks successfully, this one is a must-read." - About.com Guide to Knitting

The Even More Flexible French: Strategic Ideas Powerful Weapons

Szachy > Książki New In Chess

When Viktor Moskalenko#8217;s 'The Flexible French' appeared in 2008, it caused a sensation. It was hailed by reviewers from all over the world as eye-opening, full of new ideas, easy to read, sparkling, and inspirational.  Time has not stood still, and the popular French Defence has seen a lot of new theoretical developments, not few of which were inspired by 'The Flexible French'. Seven years after its publication, Viktor Moskalenko has decided to fully revise, update and extend his modern classic. The Even More Flexible French  has largely the same structure as its predecessor, but the content is fully up-to-date on the latest theory. There are twelve new chapters on lines that have grown in importance, 28 more games, and throughout Moskalenko has found hundreds of improvements, alternatives, new ideas and fresh weapons that will delight and surprise the reader.  The book contains a more or less complete French repertoire for Black. Yet Moskalenko also presents quite a few weapons and opportunities for White. The Ukrainian Grandmaster#8217;s analysis is, as before, high-level, his touch has remained light and fresh.   Viktor Moskalenko  (1960) is an International Grandmaster and a well-known chess coach. The former Ukrainian champion has won many tournaments in Spain, his new home country. He is the author of The Fabulous Budapest Gambit (2007), The Flexible French (2008), Revolutionize Your Chess (2009), The Wonderful Winawer (2010), The Perfect Pirc-Modern (2013), and The Diamond Dutch (2014). IM John Donaldson: "Moskalenko does an excellent job of explaining what Black is aiming for and the 103 model games this book is structured around make it more user friendly for amateur players than the traditional opening book." CHESS Magazine (UK): "All French players wishing to refresh their repertoire should examine this work, both for new ideas in the main lines and some tricky surprise weapons." Chris Wainscott, ChessIQ: "This isn#8217;t just a slapdash reprint where a couple of words have been changed. This is a meaningful update to in-depth content."   British Chess Magazine: "Anybody over 1800 should seek out a copy as, believe me, White does not have it all his own way. Forty years of defending Frenches emoboldens Your Editor to add: Why didn't you say before?" Max Euwe Centre, Amsterdam: "Twelve new chapters, almost a hundred extra pages, dozens of new analysed games and a more accessible arrangement of chapters: the reader gets his money's worth." Elburg Chess Reviews: "More than just an expanded update (..) It has become a complete new book!" Praise for 'The Flexible French': John Watson, The Week In Chess:  "The analysis simply sparkles with ideas." Carsten Hansen, ChessCafe:  "Moskalenko's coverage is excellently balanced. Easy to read and understand; even weaker players will benefit from Moskalenko's breakdown of the material."

Ettore Majorana: Notes on Theoretical Physics Springer

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

HISTORICAL PRELUDE Ettore Majorana's fame solidly rests on testimonies like the following, from the evocative pen of Giuseppe Cocconi. At the request of Edoardo Amaldi, he wrote from CERN (July 18, 1965): "In January 1938, after having just graduated, I was invited, essen tially by you, to come to the Institute of Physics at the University in Rome for six months as a teaching assistant, and once I was there I would have the good fortune of joining Fermi, Bernardini (who had been given a chair at Camerino a few months earlier) and Ageno (he, too, a new graduate), in the research of the products of disintegration of /-L "mesons" (at that time called mesotrons or yukons), which are produced by cosmic rays [ . . . ] "It was actually while I was staying with Fermi in the small laboratory on the second floor, absorbed in our work, with Fermi working with a piece of Wilson's chamber (which would help to reveal mesons at the end of their range) on a lathe and me constructing a jalopy for the illumination of the chamber, using the flash produced by the explosion of an aluminum ribbon short circuited on a battery, that Ettore Majorana came in search of Fermi. I was introduced to him and we exchanged few words. A dark face. And that was it.

Case Interview Secrets Innovation Press, LLC

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

In Case Interview Secrets, you'll discover step-by-step instructions on how to dominate what many consider to be the most complex, most difficult, and most intimidating corporate job interview in the world-the infamous case interview. Victor Cheng, a former McKinsey management consultant, reveals his proven, insider's method for acing the case interview. Having personally secured job offers from McKinsey, Bain & Company, Monitor, L.E.K, Oliver Wyman, and A.T. Kearney, he has also been a McKinsey case interviewer-providing you with a hands-on, real-world perspective on what it really takes to land job offers. Cheng's protégées work in all the major strategy management consulting firms, including McKinsey, The Boston Consulting Group, Bain & Company, Monitor Company, A.T. Kearny, Oliver Wyman, L.E.K, Roland Berger, Accenture, and Deloitte, as well as in the strategic planning departments of numerous Fortune 500 companies. Whether you're an undergraduate, MBA, PhD, or experienced-hire applicant candidate, you'll discover: * What case interviewers really say about you behind closed doors but wouldn't dare tell you-until now * The subtle yet specific performance differences that separate those who get management consulting offers from those who don't * The 10 biggest mistakes candidates make in case interviews (and how to avoid them) * The 3 specific things interviewers expect in the first 5 minutes of a case that often decide the outcome on the spot * An insider's take on what interviewers really look for and why-and how to give them what they want Praise for Victor Cheng and Case Interview Secrets "With Victor's help, I went from not knowing anything about consulting to securing offers from McKinsey and BCG." -Mihnea Munteanu, University of Michigan "I received six offers-from McKinsey, BCG, Booz, Deloitte, A.T. Kearney, and Marakon. Everything Victor said was right!" -Michael Yang, Northwestern University "Despite having a liberal arts degree from a state school, I landed a dream job with L.E.K. Consulting. Thanks, Victor." -Jackson Boyar, Indiana University "Victor has put me in a very difficult position-now I have to decide between offers from two of the top three consultancies!" -Christopher Perez, The Wharton School "In my first attempt to break into consulting, I failed every one of my interviews with McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Oliver Wyman, Monitor, Booz and probably a few others. On my second attempt two years later, I followed everything Victor Cheng suggested and took advantage of every resource he provided ... and received an offer from McKinsey!" -Daniel Suo, Business Analyst (Offer Recipient), McKinsey, Stamford "Without Victor's help, I never would have gotten an offer from BCG. What he teaches really makes the difference between getting an offer and not." -Puttipath Tasnavites, Boston Consulting Group, Thailand "After following Victor's guidance, I had a complete breakthrough in my case interview performance and got an offer from Monitor." -Marine Serres, Monitor & Company "As a PhD candidate in engineering, I had an academic background that left me completely unprepared for the case interview process. That's when I found Victor Cheng and ended up getting my dream job. Thank you, Victor!" -Zach Jacobson, McKinsey, New York About the Author As a former McKinse

Even More Bad Parenting Advice Drawn and Quarterly

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Ever wanted to know how to be awarded the Best Dad in the Whole World? Guy Delisle has all the answers for you in these light-hearted, entertaining tales of parental mishaps and practi--cal jokes gone wrong. Whether he's helping remove a pesky, wob--bly, but not quite loose tooth or trying to win at hide-and-seek, his antics will resonate with every parent who has ever wanted to give a sarcastic answer to a funny question from their kid. Even More Bad Parenting Advice marks Guy Delisle's second foray into the world of offering bad advice to parents, and a sec--ond opportunity to express the minor frustrations and many joys of parenting. Delisle's skilful hand at illustration and ironic way with words, which helped to popularize his travelogues about daily life in faraway places, are just as much the stars here as he or his children are. His sense of comic timing shines through in these simply told stories; with their lively flow, a change in facial expression or a few words can serve as the anecdote's punch line.Even More Bad Parenting Advice celebrates the reality that parenting isn't all first steps and gold-starred report cards; it's stinky diapers and never-ending drives to the grocery store too.

Weiwei-isms Princeton University Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

This collection of quotes demonstrates the elegant simplicity of Ai Weiwei's thoughts on key aspects of his art, politics, and life. A master at communicating powerful ideas in astonishingly few words, Ai Weiwei is known for his innovative use of social media to disseminate his views. The short quotations presented here have been carefully selected from articles, tweets, and interviews given by this acclaimed Chinese artist and activist. The book is organized into six categories: freedom of expression; art and activism; government, power, and moral choices; the digital world; history, the historical moment, and the future; and personal reflections. Together, these quotes span some of the most revealing moments of Ai Weiwei's eventful career - from his risky investigation into student deaths in the 2008 Sichuan earthquake to his arbitrary arrest in 2011 - providing a window into the mind of one of the world's most electrifying and courageous contemporary artists. Select Quotes from the Book: On Freedom of Expression: "Say what you need to say plainly, and then take responsibility for it". "A small act is worth a million thoughts". "Liberty is about our rights to question everything"; On Art and Activism: "Everything is art. Everything is politics". "The art always wins. Anything can happen to me, but the art will stay". "Life is art. Art is life. I never separate it. I don't feel that much anger. I equally have a lot of joy". On Government, Power, and Making Moral Choices: "Once you've tasted freedom, it stays in your heart and no one can take it. Then, you can be more powerful than a whole country". "I feel powerless all the time, but I regain my energy by making a very small difference that won't cost me much". "Tips on surviving the regime: Respect yourself and speak for others. Do one small thing every day to prove the existence of justice". On the Digital World: "Only with the Internet can a peasant I have never met hear my voice and I can learn what's on his mind. A fairy tale has come true". "The Internet is uncontrollable. And if the Internet is uncontrollable, freedom will win. It's as simple as that". "The Internet is the best thing that could have happened to China". On History, the Historical Moment, and the Future: "If a nation cannot face its past, it has no future". "We need to get out of the old language". "The world is a sphere, there is no East or West". Personal Reflections: "I've never planned any part of my career - except being an artist. And I was pushed into that corner because I thought being an artist was the only way to have a little freedom". "Anyone fighting for freedom does not want to totally lose their freedom". "Expressing oneself is like a drug. I'm so addicted to it".
