No More Champagne: Churchill and His Money [EPUB]
12 April 2018, 15:54
The fascinating story of Winston Churchill's lifetime of tangled personal finances
Meticulously researched by a senior private banker now turned historian, No More Champagne reveals for the first time the full extent of the iconic British war leader's private struggle to maintain a way of life instilled by his upbringing and expected of his public position.
Lough uses Churchill's own most private records, many never researched before, to chronicle his family's chronic shortage of money, his own extravagance, and his recurring losses from gambling or trading in shares and currencies. Churchill tried to keep himself afloat by borrowing to the hilt, putting off bills, and writing "all over the place"; when all else failed, he had to ask family or friends to come to the rescue. Yet within five years of the war, he had taken advantage of his worldwide celebrity to transform his private fortunes with the same ruthlessness as he waged war, reaching 1945 with today's equivalent of £3 million in the bank. His lucrative war memoirs were still to come.
Throughout the story, Lough highlights the threads of risk, energy, persuasion, and sheer willpower to survive that link Churchill's private and public lives. He shows how constant money pressures often tempted him to short-circuit the ethical standards expected of public figures in his day before usually pulling back to put duty first-except where the taxman was involved.

The Encyclopedia of Misinformation [EPUB]
12 April 2018, 15:41
How have the media, government, technology, and history deceived us? Have fake and real become indistinguishable? Were we ever unburdened of disinformation, or is deception bound to the human experience? Are we being manipulated right now, or worse yet, are we deceiving ourselves?
These are the provocative questions within The Encyclopedia of Misinformation, a compendium of deception and delusion throughout history. In a frolicking series of vignettes, author Rex Sorgatz saunters through propaganda and subterfuge in eclectic contexts, including science and religion, comedy and law, sports and video games.
Slingshotting through conspiracy theories, internet and popular culture, and perplexing psychological phenomena, this compendium illuminates deliriously diverse subjects: Artificial Intelligence, Auto-Tune, Chilean Sea Bass, Claques, Clickbait, Cognitive Dissonance, Cryptids, Dark Matter, False Flag Operations, Gaslighting, Gerrymandering, Kayfabe, Laugh Tracks, Milli Vanilli, Phantom Time Hypothesis, Photoshopping, Potemkin Villages, Rachel Dolezal, Strategery, Truthiness, and the Uncanny Valley.
Encyclopedic in scope, but with an incisive voice tuned to these bedeviling times, this is the modern reference book to engage a world rife with artifice and deception.
Mentalligence: A New Psychology of Thinking--Learn What It Takes to be More Agile, Mindful, and Connected in Today's World [EPUB]
12 April 2018, 15:40
One of the greatest gifts we can give to ourselves is rethinking what we've been taught, because thoughts become behaviors. The same mind that gets us stuck is the same one that can set us free. It's time to rip up the script society hands us, breathe deep, and reclaim a healthy definition of success that doesn't compartmentalize your mind, body and soul. We need a new organizing framework that allows more flexibility and moral grounding―one that lets science, emotion and spirit to fuse.
Too often, life's disorienting moments can leave us tumbling into messy, downward spirals. We lose clarity, and are held hostage by blind spots that keep us from thriving. We fall into common mindless behavioral traps which lead to perpetual patterns of shutting down, numbing out, binding up and staying stuck. In this uniquely liberating book, Dr. Kristen Lee teaches us how to apply a process of behavioral change using a series of different lenses, to steer our brains to overcome blind spots and cultivate Upward Spiral habits.
A leading expert on resilience and behavioral science, Dr. Kristen Lee developed this new psychology of thinking model from over twenty years of clinical practice, the latest neuroscience, and her own research findings. Mentalligence [men-tel-i-juh-ns] is a sage guide that will help you build meta-awareness by emphasizing an impact-driven rather than a performance-obsessed mindset, and adopt a model of 'collective efficacy' that is less I-focused and more we-focused, to facilitate positive social impact at a time when it's desperately needed. This is what psychologists call 'The Good Life'―living mindfully and consciously. Rather than falling for predominant definitions of 'success' that leave us boxed in, depleted, and oblivious to ways we can work together, Mentalligence helps us find the thinking and behavioral agility to work towards better outcomes for all.
What Regency Women Did for Us [EPUB]

This book tells the inspirational stories of twelve women, from very different backgrounds, who overcame often huge obstacles to achieve success.
These women were pioneers, philanthropists and entrepreneurs, authors, scientists and actresses women who made an impact on their world and ours. In her debut nonfiction work, popular history blogger Rachel Knowles tells how each of these remarkable ladies helped change the world they lived in and whose legacy is still evident today.

Ever since we produced our course Thinking About Capitalism, customers have expressed interest in a follow-up course that could help them understand socialism in the same way. After much consideration, we determined that it actually would be more beneficial to create a course that compares and contrasts the two major global economic theories, examining them in ways that move past the polemics many of us are used to and looking at these systems as they relate to one another and the world at large.
Politics and economics are inextricable, so it can be difficult to find the right person to tackle such a complex and often polarizing subject as objectively as possible. Luckily, we found Professor Edward Stuart, an economist and teacher who specializes in comparative economics. Professor Stuart brings not only economic expertise, but personal experience gleaned from teaching, traveling, and consulting all over the world, and it is this wide lens of experience that helps make Capitalism vs. Socialism such an engaging new entry in our library of courses.

Following the surge of interest and pride in Celtic identity since the 19th century, much of what we thought we knew about the Celts has been radically transformed. From the warriors who nearly defeated Julius Caesar to druids who, contrary to popular opinion, definitely did not worship at Stonehenge, get to know the real Celts.
In The Celtic World, discover the incredible story of the Celtic-speaking peoples, whose art, language, and culture once spread from Ireland to Austria. This series of 24 enlightening lectures explains the traditional historical view of who the Celts were, then contrasts it with brand-new evidence from DNA analysis and archeology that totally changes our perspective on where the Celts came from. European history and culture have been profoundly affected by the Celts, from the myth of King Arthur to the very map of the United Kingdom, where the English confronted the peoples of the "Celtic Fringe."
With a wealth of historical expertise, Professor Jennifer Paxton (PhD Harvard University), Director of the University Honors Program and Clinical Assistant Professor of History at The Catholic University of America, guides you through each topic related to Celtic history with approachability and ease as you unearth what we once thought it meant - and what it may actually mean - to be Celtic. Professor Paxton's engaging, often humorous delivery blends perfectly with the facts about the Celts to uncover surprising historical revelations. The ancient Celts are very much alive in the literary and artistic traditions that their descendants have both preserved and very deliberately revived. All facets of Celtic life, past and present, are addressed by Professor Paxton, who demonstrates a masterful knowledge and carefully separates fact from myth at every turn. Come along for a ride through history to discover your inner Celt.

The Roman Republic was one of the most breathtaking civilizations in world history. Over the course of about 500 years, a modest city-state developed an innovative system of government and expanded into far-flung territories across Europe, Northern Africa, and the Middle East. This powerful civilization inspired America�s founding fathers, gifted us a blueprint for amazing engineering innovations, left a vital trove of myths, and has inspired the human imagination for 2,000 years.
How did Rome become so powerful? This mystery has vexed historians from the ancient Greek writer Polybius to 21st century scholars. Today, removed as we are from the Roman Republic, historians also wonder what it was like to be a Roman citizen in that amazing era. Beyond the familiar names of Romulus, Caesar, Octavian, Brutus, and Mark Antony, what was life like for the ordinary people? And what did the Italians, the Greeks, the Gauls, and other conquered peoples think of this world power?
The Great Courses is pleased to shed new light on this history. The Rise of Rome explores what made this state so powerful�and offers insight into why the republic cast such a long shadow over Western civilization. Taught by Professor Gregory S. Aldrete of the University of Wisconsin�Green Bay, these 24 exciting lectures tell the captivating story of Rome�s astonishing rise, from the monarchy of the eighth century B.C.E. to the collapse of the republic and ending just before its rebirth into an empire. You�ll witness the historical turning points, meet the amazing players, and get a feel for what it was like for everyday Romans, all in an effort to understand the story of Rome as it grew from a myth into an empire, examining in detail the less familiar history of the republic prior to its world-altering imperial transformation.
Here, you will trace the early history of Rome from its modest beginnings, through its violent development, to the pinnacle of its stunning triumph over the Mediterranean, and finally to the moment the republic dramatically collapsed under the strain of its own accomplishments, only to rise again in the new form of empire. You will examine the many well-known dramatic events of early Roman history, from the skirmishes with the neighboring Etruscans to the assassination of Julius Caesar. You will also consider the ordinary aspects of Roman daily life�what they ate, what games they played, the religious rituals they observed, and more, all in an effort to understand the texture of daily life.
Along the way, you will encounter an array of intriguing figures from both history and legend, from Romulus and Remus to Lucretia to Scipio to Pompey the Great, as well as the lives of often overlooked everymen and everywomen�the slaves, soldiers, farmers, women, and children of Rome and its territories. Tapping into our latest historical understanding and leveraging new technology, The Rise of Rome takes you inside the breathtaking story of the Roman Republic.
Witness the Drama of Roman History
Rome is arguably the most influential city in Western history, and its influence is still present nearly everywhere one looks today�in our language, our laws, and even how we tell time. But one reason the Roman Republic has captured our imaginations for the past 2,000 years is that its story is filled with high drama: scandals and betrayals, love affairs and murders, battles and glory.
Professor Aldrete traces this thrilling story across the centuries, starting with the mythic beginnings of the city-state:
- See how Virgil�s Aeneid connects the rise of Rome with the legacy of Greek culture.
- Delve into the competition between the brothers Romulus and Remus for control of Rome.
- Consider how stories like the rape of the Sabine women and the tale of Lucretia offer insight into Roman values and culture.
- Explore the culture of the Etruscans to examine Rome�s relationship with its neighbors.
After witnessing Rome�s expansion over Italy, you will trace the wars that won the Romans far-flung territory�the Punic Wars, the conquest of Greece, invasions into Northern Africa, and expansion into Europe. Professor Aldrete does an excellent job of taking you into battles to show you the strategy and outcomes. For instance, after a devastating loss in the pivotal Battle of Cannae, you�ll discover how the Romans� ability to rebuild and refocus their military power, even after defeat, made them such a formidable and resilient force.
Despite all this success, you�ll also see how competition among politicians, generals, and warlords back in Rome sowed the seeds for the Republic�s collapse. The course rounds out with a stunning series of lectures on the rise of Julius Caesar, his assassination, and the competition between Octavian and Mark Antony for control of the republic. Find out how the dramatic stories many of us are familiar with�like the love affair of Mark Antony and Cleopatra�were part of a larger unfolding of events that led to the fall of the republic and the beginnings of imperial Rome.
Go inside This Fascinating Civilization
Interspersed with the operatic narrative of Roman history are fascinating explorations of the texture of daily life within the republic, giving you a sense of what life was like for men and women whose lives played out against the backdrop of the events that fill history books. For instance, you will:
- Discover the different strata within Roman society�citizens and noncitizens, patricians and plebeians, soldiers and farmers, and more.
- Examine the institution of slavery to see who the Roman slaves were, where they came from, and what daily life was like for them.
- Explore what ordinary people ate, where they lived, and what types of employment they had.
- Survey some of the many social challenges society faced, including veterans who returned from wars penniless, having lost their farms.
- Find out what we know about Roman women and their domestic lives.
One common theme running through these lectures is that the Romans continually faced massive social and political challenges. For instance, the Romans professed to admire farmers as being natural, hardworking, salt-of-the-earth citizens, but throughout the years of the republic, farmers constantly struggled to make ends meet, often losing their land if they were called into battle. The social upheaval from political challenges eventually caught up to the leaders of the republic, and the concerns of daily life drove historic political changes.
Unpack the Rise�and Fall�of the Republic
One of the most fascinating questions in this course centers on the nature of Roman expansion. Was it deliberate or accidental? Was the Roman administration a well-run machine designed to expand into an empire, or did the Romans expand their territory through accidental circumstances?
As you�ll discover, a case can be made for either argument. By the end of the republic, it�s clear that whether it was accidental or not, Rome eventually became a victim of its own success. Professor Aldrete characterizes the factionalism and competition within the government�introducing you to the likes of Marius, Sulla, and Cicero�and he shows how these divisions culminated with the assassination of Julius Caesar, the competition to fill the power vacuum, and the dissolution of the republic.
From city-state to grand republic to tragic end, this course takes you on a thrilling journey through the rise of the republic and the dramatic changes that transformed a republican government into an empire of unprecedented power. Despite what you think you know about the Roman Republic, The Rise of Rome is sure to offer a bounty of new insights and can build a foundation for the next stage of Roman history: The Roman Empire and its eventual collapse.

The 20th century was a breeding ground of musical exploration, innovation, and transformation unlike any other era in history. Breaking with the traditions of the past, early 20th-century composers upended the old order of concert music, igniting both passionate admiration and white-hot controversy with works such as Claude Debussy�s Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, whose ethereal, otherworldly sonic textures initiated musical modernism; and Igor Stravinsky�s Rite of Spring, whose jarring primitivism and the near-riot of its premiere are the stuff of musical legend.
But these were only the tip of a monumental iceberg�the beginning of an explosion of new musical languages and syntaxes that would last for the entire century, ranging from the non-tonality of Arnold Schoenberg and the individualist vision of Charles Ives to the the stylistic synthesis of B�la Bart�k, the ultraserialism of Milton Babbitt, and the remarkable eclecticism of Henry Cowell.
As always in music history, these artistic currents directly reflected changes in the world at large, as composers responded to the upheavals, dislocations, paradigm shifts, world wars, globalism, and other momentous happenings that the century brought�creating masterworks that rank among history�s greatest moments of musical expression.
And yet, parallel with these transformations came the perception�which echoes to this day�that the new music could be difficult, challenging to grasp, and at times simply unintelligible�all of which figured within tumultuous and unending debates about what music should or could be.
Now, speaking to these extraordinary and galvanizing events, Great Courses favorite Professor Robert Greenberg of San Francisco Performances returns with one of his most provocative, most compelling, and most rewarding courses ever. In Great Music of the 20th Century, Professor Greenberg unfurls a huge spectrum of new works and material that have not been covered in depth in previous courses. Ranging across the 20th century in its entirety, these 24 lectures present a musical cornucopia of astonishing dimensions�a major presentation and exploration of the incredible brilliance and diversity of musical art across a turbulent century.
Discover a Breathtaking Epoch in Western Music
Taking a chronological approach, the course explores the fascinating gamut of 20th-century musical �isms,� from impressionism and fauvism to serialism, stochasticism, ultraserialism, neo-classicism, neo-tonalism, and minimalism, as well as the inclusivity and synthesis within concert music that embraced Western historical styles, folk and popular music, jazz, rock, Asian, Latin American, and other influences in the service of heightened expression. Through the panoramic view of the course, you�ll discover the genius of composers such as Webern, Antheil, Stockhausen, Bernstein, Takamitsu, and many others.
From the very first lecture, Professor Greenberg tackles the bugbear of 20th-century concert music directly, showing with remarkable clarity what these composers were up to, how to understand their compositional processes and visions, and how to appreciate and enjoy the sublime music this century produced.
For those familiar with Professor Greenberg�s previous courses, these lectures present a new approach to the musical excerpts themselves, and one that is aligned with the way people access music in the 21st century. Instead of playing musical excerpts within the lectures, Professor Greenberg provides easily accessible online resources to complete performances of all the works discussed, allowing you to explore them in their entirety, either while listening to the lectures, separately, or both. This approach offers the benefits of easy access to full performances of the works, plus a full 45 minutes of Professor Greenberg�s celebrated teaching and commentary in each lecture.
Grasp the Passionate Ideals and Groundbreaking Methods of Musical Modernism
Early in the course, you�ll delve into the historical, sociological, and psychological factors that underlay early 20th-century composers� abandonment of musical tradition. In clear, accessible terms, you�ll learn about the trailblazing compositional approaches of the century�s great composers, and what motivated them, in cases such as:
- The Astounding Journey of Igor Stravinsky�Follow the trajectory of the 20th century�s most integrally influential composer, from his legendary �fauvist� scores for the Ballets Russes and his unexpected turn as a neoclassicist to his constant, lifelong experimentation and self-reinvention. Study Stravinsky�s rich range of masterpieces, including his iconic Pulcinella, his Symphony in Three Movements,and his career-capping Requiem Canticles.
- Beyond Tonality: The Legacy of Arnold Schoenberg�Learn the dramatic story of Schoenberg�s �emancipation� from traditional musical tonality, and his magisterial non-tonal and serial or �12-tone� works. Take account of the searing controversy surrounding his compositions and methodology, and his imprint on a lineage of brilliant composers. Experience landmark works, such as his masterful Pierrot Lunaire, Variations for Orchestra, and Ode to Napoleon Buonaparte.
- America�s Kaleidoscopic Offering to New Music�Across the span of the course, learn how 20th-century U.S. composers broke new ground in numerous and ingenious ways. Witness how American musical minds introduced jazz and popular idioms into concert music, created alternate tonal systems and musical instruments, pioneered electronic music, incorporated non-Western musical languages, and gave birth to genres such as minimalism.
- Ultraserialism and Its Backlash�Observe how a cadre of post-World War II composers sought to distance themselves from the mindset of fascism, ironically producing intellectualized music which audiences found difficult or impossible to listen to. Also note the counter-reaction that spurred other spirits to seek new expressive means, leading composers such as Iannis Xenakis and Gy�rgy Ligeti to create �sound mass� music of stunning beauty.
- Spanning the World: Globalism in Concert Music�Learn how concert music in the second half of the 20th century saw an unprecedented meeting of world cultures. Hear the inspired infusion of Indian, Indonesian, Chinese, and Native American musical forms in the music of composers such as Lou Harrison and Henry Cowell. Discover the fusion of Western and East Asian sensibilities in the works of Isang Yun (Korea) and Chinery Ung (Cambodia).
- A Multiplicity of Riches: Musical Pluralism�Grasp how the challenge for late 20th-century composers became the question of how to make use of the vast array of available musical languages, not only from 1,000 years of Western history, but from every culture across the world. Hear the amazing synthesis of musical forms in the brilliant works of Heitor Villa-Lobos, Luciano Berio, Aaron Jay Kernis, and Thomas Adès.
In his characteristic style, Professor Greenberg brings to each lecture a far-reaching and thoroughly absorbing historical context�delving into the circumstances that surrounded the writing of many key works, and showing how 20th-century composers responded to historical, socio-cultural, and personal events in their music. You�ll witness how the music of B�la Bart�k was shaped by Hungarian nationalism; how devastating wartime experiences changed the music of Olivier Messiaen and Karlheinz Stockhausen; how Hindu aesthetics and Zen Buddhism influenced the �indeterminate� music of John Cage; and how a deeply personal event affected Arnold Schoenberg�s final break with Western tonality.
Experience the Genius and Dazzling Diversity of the Century�s Greatest Masterworks
Far more than simply a course of lectures, Great Music of the 20th Century comprises a huge and many-sided resource for discovering the endless riches of 20th-century concert music across the globe. The phenomenal range of genres and composers covered and the wealth of suggestions for specific works make this a reference that could easily inspire years of musical exploration and glorious listening. As just a tiny sampling, you�ll learn about majestic works such as:
- Alban Berg�s great Piano Sonata Op. 1 of 1909;
- Carlos Ch�vez�s invocation of native Mexican music in his Sinfon�a India (1936);
- Elliott Carter�s polyphonic String Quartet No.2 (1959);
- George Crumb�s deeply poetic Ancient Voices of Children (1970);
- Luigi Nono�s grand-scale Prometeo (1984), a haunting meditation on the myth of Prometheus; and
- Jennifer Higdon�s luminous, expansive Blue Cathedral (1999).
As always, Professor Greenberg speaks with a composer�s intimate understanding of the act of musical creation, and with profound insight into his subjects� thinking and creative processes. And, after 28 courses and over 600 individual lectures for The Great Courses, Professor Greenberg talks about his own music for the first time�ending the course with a memorable, firsthand account of one celebrated composer�s journey through this remarkable era.
Great Music of the 20th Century opens the door to an extraordinary spectrum of contemporary masterpieces that await discovery and deep listening. Within these unique and riveting lectures, Professor Greenberg offers you the keys to understanding and deep enjoyment of a revolutionary, visionary, and magnificent era in music. In Great Music of the 20th Century, you�ll experience the living, evolving, and superlative musical art that so vividly and unforgettably speaks to the life of our times.
Hitler's Arctic War: The German Campaigns in Norway, Finland and the USSR 1940-1945 [EPUB]
12 April 2018, 13:08
�In the past the German General Staff had taken no interest in the military history of wars in the north and east of Europe. Nobody had ever taken into account the possibility that some day German divisions would have to fight and to winter in northern Karelia and on the Murmansk coast.� (Lieutenant-General Waldemar Erfurth, German Army). Despite this statement, the German Army�s first campaign in the far north was a great success: between April and June 1940 German forces totaling less than 20,000 men seized Norway, a state of three million people, for minimal losses. Hitler�s Arctic War is a study of the campaign waged by the Germans on the northern periphery of Europe between 1940 and 1945.
As Hitler�s Arctic War makes clear, the emphasis was on small-unit actions, with soldiers carrying everything they needed � food, ammunition and medical supplies � on their backs. The terrain placed limitations on the use of tanks and heavy artillery, while lack of airfields restricted the employment of aircraft.
Hitler�s Arctic War also includes a chapter on the campaign fought by Luftwaffe aircraft and Kriegsmarine ships and submarines against the Allied convoys supplying the Soviet Union with aid. However, Wehrmacht resources committed to Norway and Finland were ultimately an unnecessary drain on the German war effort. Hitler�s Arctic War is a groundbreaking study of how war was waged in the far north and its effects on German strategy.

Return of the Sea Otter: The Story of the Animal That Evaded Extinction on the Pacific Coast [EPUB]
12 April 2018, 13:05
A science journalist's journey along the Pacific Coast from California to Alaska to track the status, health, habits, personality, and viability of sea otters--the appealing species unique to this coastline that was hunted to near extinction in the 18th and 19th centuries.
These adorable, furry marine mammals--often seen floating on their backs holding hands--reveal the health of the coastal ecosystem along the Pacific Ocean. Once hunted for their prized fur during the 1700s and 1800s, these animals nearly went extinct. Only now, nearly a century after hunting ceased, are populations showing stable growth in some places. Sea otters are a keystone species in coastal areas, feeding on sea urchins, clams, crab, and other crustaceans. When they are present, kelp beds are thick and healthy, providing homes for an array of sealife. When otters disappear, sea urchins take over, and the kelp disappears along with all of the creatures that live in the beds. Now, thanks to their protected status, sea otters are making a comeback in California, Washington, and Alaska.

An eye-opening account of the landmark research into the hidden chemicals that are endangering our health and keeping us fat
Being overweight is not just the result of too many cheeseburgers or not enough exercise. According to leading-edge science, there are silent saboteurs in our daily lives that contribute greatly to our obesity epidemic: obesogens. These weight-inducing offenders, most of which are chemicals, disrupt our hormonal systems, alter how we create and store fat, and change how we respond to dietary choices. Because they are largely unregulated, obesogens lurk all around us - in food, furniture, plastic products such as water bottles and food storage containers, and other surprising exposure points. Even worse: research has shown that the effects of some obesogens can be passed on to future generations by irreversibly interfering with the expression of our genes. The good news is we can protect ourselves by becoming more informed consumers.
In The Obesogen Effect, Dr. Bruce Blumberg describes how obesogens work, reveals where they are found, and offers a practical three-step solution for reducing exposures. He explains why one size does not fit all in a weight loss program, what hides in our household goods, and how we should shop for items we buy every day - from vegetables and meats to canned soup as well as household cleaners, air fresheners, and personal care products. The Obesogen Effect is an urgent call to action to protect your body, clean up your life, and set a straight course for better health.

Orwell on Truth [EPUB]
12 April 2018, 13:01
Over the course of his career, George Orwell wrote about many things, but no matter what he wrote the goal was to get at the fundamental truths of the world. He had no place for dissemblers, liars, conmen, or frauds, and he made his feelings well-known.
In Orwell on Truth, excerpts from across Orwell�s career show how his writing and worldview developed over the decades, profoundly shaped by his experiences in the Spanish Civil War, and further by World War II and the rise of totalitarian states. In a world that seems increasingly like one of Orwell�s dystopias, a willingness to speak truth to power is more important than ever. With Orwell on Truth, readers get a collection of both powerful quotes and the context for them.

A Foreign Policy for the Left [EPUB]
12 April 2018, 12:59
Something that has been needed for decades: a leftist foreign policy with a clear moral basis
Foreign policy, for leftists, used to be relatively simple. They were for the breakdown of capitalism and its replacement with a centrally planned economy. They were for the workers against the moneyed interests and for colonized peoples against imperial (Western) powers. But these easy substitutes for thought are becoming increasingly difficult. Neo-liberal capitalism is triumphant, and the workers� movement is in radical decline. National liberation movements have produced new oppressions. A reflexive anti-imperialist politics can turn leftists into apologists for morally abhorrent groups. In Michael Walzer�s view, the left can no longer (in fact, could never) take automatic positions but must proceed from clearly articulated moral principles.
In this book, adapted from essays published in Dissent, Walzer asks how leftists should think about the international scene�about humanitarian intervention and world government, about global inequality and religious extremism�in light of a coherent set of underlying political values.
A Search for Belonging: The Mexican Cinema of Luis Buñuel [EPUB]
12 April 2018, 12:58
As one of the foremost Spanish directors of all time, Luis Buñuel's filmography has been the subject of innumerable studies. Despite the fact that the twenty films he made in Mexico between 1946 and 1965 represent the most prolific stage of his career as a filmmaker, these have remained relatively neglected in writing on Buñuel and his work. This book focuses on nine of the director's films made in Mexico in order to show that a concerted focus on space, an important aspect of the films' narratives that is often intimated by scholars, yet rarely developed, can unlock new philosophical meaning in this rich body of work.
Although in recent years Buñuel's Mexican films have begun to enjoy a greater presence in criticism on the director, they are often segregated according to their perceived critical value, effectively creating two substrands of work: the independent and the studio potboiler. The interdisciplinary approach of this book unites the two, focusing on films such as Los olvidados, Nazar�n, and El �ngel exterminador alongside La mort en ce jardin, The Young One, and Sim�n del desierto, among others. In doing so, it avoids the tropes most often associated with Buñuel's cinema�surrealism, Catholicism, the derision of the bourgeoisie�and the approach most often invoked in analysis of these themes: psychoanalysis. Instead, this book takes inspiration from the fields of human geography, anthropology, and philosophy, applying these to film-focused readings of Buñuel's Mexican cinema to argue that, ultimately, these films depict an overriding sense of placelessness, overtly or subliminally enacting a search for belonging that forces the viewer to question what it means to be in place.
The Beauties: Essential Stories [EPUB]
12 April 2018, 12:56
New translations of the greatest stories by the Russian master of the form.
Without doubt one of the greatest observers of human nature in all its messy complexity, Chekhov's short stories are exquisite masterpieces in miniature. His work ranged from the light-hearted comic tales of his early years to some of the most achingly profound stories ever composed, and this variety of tone and temper is collected in this essential new collection.
Chekhov wrote stories throughout his writing career, and this selection has been chosen from amongst his life's work, including many of his greatest works, alongside unfamiliar discoveries, all newly translated. From the masterpiece of minimalism 'The Beauties', to the beloved classic 'The Lady with the Little Dog', and from 'Rothschild's Fiddle' to bitterly funny 'A Living Chronicle', the stories collected here are the essential collection of Chekhov's greatest tales.
The Trauma Cleaner: One Woman's Extraordinary Life in the Business of Death, Decay, and Disaster [EPUB]
12 April 2018, 12:54
A fascinating, incredible true story about the person who spends her life cleaning up after traumas.
"Absolutely stunning."―PopSugar
Before she was a trauma cleaner, Sandra Pankhurst was many things: husband and father, drag queen, gender reassignment patient, sex worker, small businesswoman, trophy wife. . . But as a little boy, raised in violence and excluded from the family home, she just wanted to belong. Now she believes her clients deserve no less.
A woman who sleeps among garbage she has not put out for forty years. A man who bled quietly to death in his living room. A woman who lives with rats, random debris and terrified delusion. The still life of a home vacated by accidental overdose.
Sarah Krasnostein has watched the extraordinary Sandra Pankhurst bring order and care to these, the living and the dead―and the book she has written is equally extraordinary. Not just the compelling story of a fascinating life among lives of desperation, but an affirmation that, as isolated as we may feel, we are all in this together.

Darwin's Doubt: The Explosive Origin of Animal Life and the Case for Intelligent Design [Audiobook]
12 April 2018, 12:52
2016 | MP3@64 kbps + EPUB | 14 hrs 59 mins | 418.58MB
When Charles Darwin finished The Origin of Species, he thought that he had explained every clue but one. Though his theory could explain many facts, Darwin knew that there was a significant event in the history of life that his theory did not explain. During this event, the "Cambrian explosion", many animals suddenly appeared in the fossil record without apparent ancestors in earlier layers of rock.
In Darwin's Doubt, Stephen C. Meyer tells the story of the mystery surrounding this explosion of animal life - a mystery that has intensified not only because the expected ancestors of these animals have not been found but because scientists have learned more about what it takes to construct an animal. During the last half century, biologists have come to appreciate the central importance of biological information - stored in DNA and elsewhere in cells - to building animal forms.
Expanding on the compelling case he presented in his last book, Signature in the Cell, Meyer argues that the origin of this information, as well as other mysterious features of the Cambrian event, are best explained by intelligent design rather than purely undirected evolutionary processes.

The elders of Israel came to Samuel. They said the people did not want judges. They wanted a king.

1 Samuel 8:6–9
Samuel obeyed God. He told the people God would let them have a king. But kings would take their fields and animals. They would take their children for servants. Someday they would not want a king.

One day God talked to Samuel. God said a young man would come the next day. This man would be the king.

1 Samuel 11:12–15
Then one day Saul was waiting for Samuel. Samuel was coming to burn sacrifices. Samuel was the only man who should burn sacrifices to God. But he was late. Saul did not wait for him. Saul burned the sacrifices. It was wrong for Saul to do that.
1 Samuel 13:8–9
At last Samuel came. He was angry at Saul. Saul had not obeyed God. Samuel told him God would choose another king. Saul was sad.
1 Samuel 13:10–14; 1 Samuel 15:11–26

Since I've returned to the states, I've been asked this question multiple times. Even though I felt like jumping right back on a plane two days after I landed home, I haven't booked any trips…yet.
Believe me, I will travel again. It may not be to as many countries all at once again, but I do feel another big trip is in my future. Either a road trip across the states, or a ring around South America, I enjoy packing in as much as I can see into one adventure.
I also have a Hawaiian Airlines credit burning a hole in my pocket, and after all the snow the northeast has been getting so far this winter, a warm Hawaiian beach is way too tempting right now.
Ever since I saw this YouTube video I have also been pricing out flights to Thailand for November.
Whatever the date or destination, it's more a question of WHO'S COMING WITH ME? As much as I loved traveling solo and meeting new friends along the way, I'm ready for some new travel companions… I'm currently taking resumes 🙂

Wysocki (Eds.), 8th International Symposium on DSP and Communication Systems, DSPCS'2005 & 4th Workshop on the Internet, Telecommunications and Signal Processing, WITSP'2005 (pp. 142-147). Noosa: DSP for Communication Systems.
A key issue for remote Australian desert community viability is providing services such as health and education, particularly given the limited telecommunications infrastructure. To help address this issue, we examine how satellite Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) TV can support new telecommunications services for these communities. In particular, we consider options for the DVB based multicast which underpins these services. We show that existing DVB and MHP capabilities can provide the required multicast support.

We wanted to reach out and let you know which services we are still providing remotely, during the closure. Financial Services: We are still able to process payments and have 2 options available to members at this time. If you need this service please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com Architectural Department Services: We are still processing Exterior Home Improvement (EHI) applications, short- & long-term parking permits, New Build applications, and answering/working through violations that are reported to us. If you are performing home improvements, please request an EHI before beginning work so that it can be approved. If you have questions on what may or may not need an application, please email me at email@example.com I am personally going to the recreation center to check voicemails and return calls and have been returning calls within 2 business days.

Please know, at this time, we still anticipate opening on April 6th at 6:00am, but as things progress the status of that may change. We will keep you updated on any changes. Our staff will need to get back into the building, get operations set up, and fully clean the facility prior to opening for member use. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. Very Respectfully, April Salazar ... See more View on facebook 7 months ago All HBTS Members— After a considerable amount of research and discussion, we believe it is necessary to conduct a complete closure of all HBTS Common Properties. The closure will take effect on Friday, March 20 at 6:00 pm. and will remain in effect until Monday, April 6. The COVID-19 situation is developing very rapidly and we feel obligated to follow the guidance from federal and local health officials regarding facilities having large congregations of people in close contact. We fully understand the conflicting beliefs about this decision among members but as we stated earlier – we will adopt the most conservative approach for the health and safety of our staff, members, and the community as a whole. Please understand that this decision was agonizing -- we wanted to remain open throughout this crisis but the evolving situation and the increasing risk dictates this action. This delay of several days will allow the staff to develop and test plans for teleworking to facilitate the conduct of limited business operations during the closure. It also allows members to make alternate plans if they were planning on using the Common Properties over the next several weeks. The GM office, financial services, member services, and architectural department will telework to the fullest extent possible. If you have questions or need to reach these offices, please either email the General Manager, Ms. April Salazar, email@example.com or call the GM office at (850) 939-1693, ext. 1 and leave a voicemail. The GM will coordinate and have the proper staff member respond to the request. We also have been in discussion with our AP2 contractor and they have requested to continue their construction operations despite the closure, which we have agreed to for now. They have a very small workforce and should have little impact on the risk. The GM will supervise their operations daily and make changes to their plan as necessary. Finally, this closure includes all Common Properties to include the Hwy399 boat ramp, campground, beach house, pier, and all property surrounding the recreation center. Any members found on the Properties during the closure will be considered trespassing. We apologize for this unfortunate and unprecedented event. We will continue to monitor and adjust the closure plan as necessary and provide updates to everyone affected. We are hoping that we may be able to reopen sooner than April 6 but also reserve the right to remain closed for a longer period of time solely dependent on official guidance. ...

We will only be accepting payment via debit/credit card for all transactions. We will be following updates closely. If deemed necessary we may have some of our administrative staff work remotely to help minimize exposure to members and staff. A message will be sent with how to continue to communicate with these offices should this occur. During the spring break periods and over the next month, please be cautious with who you allow having access via guest passes.

Precautions being taken by the General Manager include: -- Cleaning and sanitizing the Recreation Center twice daily, with the gym receiving three cleanings. -- Our Staff is following stringent guidelines by frequently washing their hands and disinfecting their individual work areas. -- Hand sanitizer stations are located throughout the facility. -- Information flyers are posted throughout the facility to better educate everyone about the disease and the risks. -- Staff members have been notified that if they are experiencing possible symptoms to remain at home. We currently have no plans to reduce operating times or close the facility but this may become a reality depending on staffing impacts and the severity of the situation. However, the following guidance will be in effect until further notice. DO NOT ENTER THE RECREATION CENTER OR UTILIZE ANY OF THE COMMON PROPERTIES FOR ANY REASON IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS: -- Persistent cough -- Fever -- Shortness of breath -- Nasal congestion Additionally, do not enter the Recreation Center or utilize any of the Common Properties if you have recently traveled to a country having a Level 3 Travel Health Notice, (currently Italy, Iran, South Korea, and China) and have not self-isolated for a period of 14 days as instructed to do so by Federal and Local Health officials. Japan is currently under a Level 2 Travel Health Notice and although the 14-day self-isolation isn't mandatory it is highly recommended. Governor DeSantis has issued an executive order declaring a State of Emergency for COVID-19 throughout the state. We reserve the right to take any and all steps necessary to ensure the highest level of safety to include restricting access to any member or Staff member exhibiting possible signs of illness.

Hi there! I have come across a string of porcelain insulators and am looking for more information on this specific one. I believe they are suspension insulators but I am not 100% certain. They have "LOCKE" stamped on the cement piece that holds the insulator in place. The insulator is a brown porcelain and has "LOCKE 1941" stamped on the side. The one that I have has 9 insulators in a string (for lack of better word) and all have the same stamp. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Three Best Practices for Building Values-based Cultures
Values-based leadership is now widely accepted. Executives understand that liberating people to live shared values at work forges stronger business results. Yet, when it comes to the nuances involved in building values-based cultures, most leaders' knowledge is simply incomplete.
Here are three overlooked best practices for fine-tuning your values-based culture. When you implement these proven approaches, you remove obstacles that arise as people try to live your company's values and behaviors consistently.
1. Invest time to understand the actual role that values play in human behavior.
It's tempting to think that in values-based cultures, people don't behave in the soul-crushing ways you see in traditional, hierarchical workplaces. After all, when leaders take time to build alignment around shared values, they tap into the deepest drivers of human behavior. Shared values stimulate people to shed their selfish, overly competitive, uncivil behaviors. Right?
Unfortunately, not always. Even when people operate from a shared set of values, they can still lapse back into "me first" behaviors if their core human needs aren't being met.
A contentious merger, for example, can trigger fear in employees that they'll lose their jobs and won't be able to meet their core human need to provide for themselves and their families. In this case, no matter how much employees want to behave according to the company's values of "servant-oriented teamwork" and "civility," they may find it extremely challenging to do so. Their attention is hijacked by satisfying a core need that, at the end of the day, is simply more pressing than bringing their best selves to work.
There is a tipping point when values become idealistic instead of realistic—meaning they may not be effective in driving your employees' behavior when you most need them to, such as during periods of change.
As you lead your values-based culture, you must understand that drawing up a list of shared values is only your first step. Next, you must invest time in considering the situations in which your values may not be realistic to live and make adjustments accordingly.
2. Ensure that your company's values address employees' core human needs.
You can take steps to ensure that your company's values will support employees to behave productively with one another even when it's challenging to do so. They key is to align your shared values with your employees' core human needs.
The most powerful tool we have for understanding core human needs was published in 1943 by human psychologist Abraham Maslow. In case you're not familiar with Maslow's hierarchy of needs, here is an overview.
Maslow's theory was that if people's basic and psychological needs weren't met, it would be difficult for them to focus on practicing their highest ideals and behaviors (i.e., pursuing self-actualization). While Maslow developed his hierarchy through anecdotal research, it was scientifically validated in 2010 through extensive global research.
What does this mean for you, as a leader working to build a values-based culture?
It means that your company's values can't be randomly chosen. They must be carefully curated—and behaviorally defined—in order to ensure the fulfillment of employees' basic, psychological, and self-actualization needs in that order.
In other words: Values that inspire people to reach for their potential are great, but values that put people's minds at ease about their job security are non-negotiable for your company's ongoing success.
3. Discern if company values unintentionally promote a selfish or competitive culture.
The last key to building a values-based culture that stands the test of time is to perform one final analysis: Do any of your values and valued behaviors unintentionally cause people to get their personal needs met in a way that erodes teamwork?
When I support executives through culture change, I often catch this sort of misunderstanding about building a values-based workplace. Values and valued behaviors that on the surface appear to meet people's core human needs can actually undermine the fulfillment of those needs long-term.
Here is an example:
Consider the value of "timely communication." On the surface, this value seems to promote game-changing teamwork and the fulfillment of employees' core human need to know what's coming down the pipe (and potentially impacting their work and livelihood).
In the age of social media, however, "timely" takes on a whole new meaning. And in the age of unprecedented generational conflict in the workplace, the clarifier "timely" can be used as a weapon against employees who aren't comfortable responding with rapid-fire, shoot-from-the-hip thinking.
Values must work to bring diverse employees together, instead of driving them apart. Values (and valued behaviors) can serve to help some employees meet personal needs and forward teamwork while at the same time unraveling peace of mind and eroding teamwork in the hearts and minds of other employees.
A workplace must work for everyone or in the end it will work for no one. Shared values must fulfill the core human needs of everyone, or they will fulfill no one.
You can create a culture in your company that puts a foundation of trust and confidence under every single employee, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, or upbringing. You can do this, with the right support. But building a values-based culture isn't quick, it isn't easy, and it is not a "plug-in solution."

Join us on the Green at 6pm for New Haven Dances! The City's Largest Dance Lesson
Six musicians from all over Mexico, with different influences but the same goal of creating mesmerizing rhythms and presenting unrepeatable live experiences, Troker's sound careens between the sublime and the dangerous. Metal riffage merges with powerhouse funk drumming and DJ scratching, and melodic horn lines are pulled from jazz and the mariachi traditions of the band's homeland. From SXSW to the Glastonbury Festival, the band has toured around the world creating music that excites the audiences' senses, but more importantly, music that inspires the soul.
Fulaso's FUnky LAtin SOul sound creates a soul-affirming, dance floor-burning party. Their music emanates from New York City and is rooted in Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Colombia, mixing the hottest boogaloo classic arrangements with bumpin' neo-soul originals. The band blends traditional music with sixties soul and funk grooves to create a powerful new sound. Headed by an unstoppably soulful songstress, Fulaso surprises and delights audiences with hefty brass and raucous rhythms.

By utilizing a zoned comfort system, you can independently maintain the temperature of programmed areas (zones) of your home. A home that has been properly zoned might actually end the skirmish over the thermostat by allowing you additional control over your home's comfort. Your home should be divided into zones based on conditions such as: usage of room, personal preferences, architectural features and rooms with comparable heating and cooling requirements. With a zoned home, you'll have multiple thermostats in the different zones of your home. These thermostats control dampers throughout your ducts and you're able to change the individual zones you've picked throughout your home giving you more control over your home's comfort. Additional Comfort Your entire family will appreciate the extra comfort that a zoned home gives. As we learned in science class, heat naturally rises, so if you're living in a multiple story home, the upper levels will typically be warmer than the ground floor. A zoned home is great at combating this problem using the dampers within your ductwork to create even air distribution. Zoning your home makes hot and cold spots within your home a thing of the past. If someone in your home is constantly complaining about being hot or cold, the additional temperature control could put a stop to those complaints. One of the greatest benefits of zoning your home is the ability to heat and cool areas contingent on their usage. Every home has areas that aren't used as often and with a zoned home you can adjust heating or cooling these areas that are getting less usage. The experts at Redhawk Heating & Air Conditioning in Odessa have many options to help you take complete control of your home's comfort. Wherever you are in the process, from installing a new system to retrofitting an existing system, our team will guide you through the process. We are always available to answer any of your home comfort questions, just give us a call at 432-237-0168. Back To Blog

Expert Weed Control
Weed control is another essential part of maintaining a healthy lawn.

Cold weather weeds, including broadleaf weeds like clover, thistle and henbit, require a different type of treatment altogether. Our team of lawn care experts use top notch equipment and techniques to ensure that your lawn is taken care in the best way possible, ensuring excellent results. This is why we developed our 7-step program to help our local community address all types of potential lawn problems.

We offer an ongoing maintenance program, which is the best way to not only treat existing problems, but to take preventative steps toward keeping weeds and pests at bay. We provide pre-emergent weed control to prevent weeds from cropping up, as well as post-emergent weed control services.
Our 7-step lawn care program includes:
- Round 1: After targeting existing weeds, we will apply a pre-emergent weed control
- Round 2: We will introduce a controlled-release fertilizer to encourage growth
- Round 3: We will apply a follow-up application of pre-emergent weed control
- Round 4: We will apply a balanced fertilizer, treat weeds, and apply weed control
- Round 5: We will continue feeding your lawn to promote thickening and growth
- Round 6: We will apply a tough preventative weed control and treat current weeds
- Round 7: To prepare for the harshest season, we will feed your lawn extra nutrients
Weather can also play a huge role in depriving your lawn of the nutrients it needs to survive. In Tyler and all throughout East Texas, the humid air and heat during summer months can be extremely stressful on your lawns. This is why we pay closer attention during droughts.
