In the style of a Old Testament Prophet, Chris Hedges decries the coming capitalistic totalitarianism and urge activists to promote democratic socialism. Pulitzer prize-winner Chris Hedges charts the dramatic and disturbing rise of a post-literate society that craves fantasy, ecstasy and illusion above all else. We now live in two Americas. One--now the minority--functions in a print-based, literate world that can cope with complexity and can separate illusion from truth. The other--the majority--is retreating from a reality-based world into one of false certainty and magic. To this majority--which crosses social class lines, though the poor are overwhelmingly affected--presidential debate and political rhetoric is pitched at a sixth-grade reading level. In this 'other America,' serious film and theater, as well as newspapers and books, are being pushed to the margins of society. In the tradition of Christopher Lasch's The Culture of Narcissism and Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death, Pulitzer Prize-winner Chris Hedges navigates this culture-attending WWF contests, the Adult Video News Awards in Las Vegas, and Ivy League graduation ceremonies-to expose an age of terrifying decline and heightened self-delusion.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban eBook. And so it is with the third volume of the Harry Potter phenomenon, THE PRISONER. Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban on. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. This is the braille version of the international bestseller. And the Prisoner of Azkaban opens on the night before Harry's thirteenth birthday, when he receives gifts by Owl Post from his friends at school. The next morning at breakfast, Harry sees on television that a man named Black is on the loose from prison. At this time, Aunt Marge comes to stay with the Dursleys, and she insults Harry's parents numerous times. Harry accidentally causes her to inflate. Harry leaves the Dursley's house and is picked up by the Knight Bus, but only after an alarming sighting of a large, black dog. The Knight Bus drops Harry off at Diagon Alley, where he is greeted by Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic. He rents a room and awaits the start of school. In Diagon Alley, Harry finishes his schoolwork, admires a Firebolt broomstick in the window of a shop, and after some time, finds his friends and. At a pet shop, Hermione buys a cat named Crookshanks, who chases Scabbers, Ron's aging pet rat. Ron is most displeased. The night before they all head off to Hogwarts, Harry overhears Ron's parents discussing the fact that Sirius Black is after Harry. The students board the Hogwarts Express train and are stopped once by an entity called a Dementor. Harry faints and is revived by Professor Lupin, the new defense against the dark arts teacher. Soon afterward, the students arrive at Hogwarts and classes begin. In divination class, Professor Trelawney foresees Harry's death by reading tealeaves and finding the representation of a Grim, a large black dog symbolizing death. In the care of magical creatures class, Hagrid introduces the students to Hippogriffs, large, deeply dignified crosses between horses and eagles. Malfoy insults one of these beasts, Buckbeak, and is attacked. Malfoy drags out the injury in an attempt to have Hagrid fired and Buckbeak put to sleep. In Defense Against the Dark Arts, Professor Lupin leads the class in a defeat of a Boggart, which changes shape to appear as the viewer's greatest fear. For Lupin, it turns into an orb, for Ron, a spider. Harry doesn't have a chance to fight it. During a Hogwarts visit to Hogsmeade, a wizard village which Harry is unable to visit because he has no permission slip, Harry has tea with Professor Lupin. Harry discovers that the reason he wasn't allowed to fight the Boggart was that Lupin had worried that it would take the shape of Voldemort. This concern catches Harry by surprise, because Harry had been thinking even more fearfully about the awful Dementors. Snape brings Lupin a steaming potion, which Lupin drinks, much to Harry's alarm. Later that night, Sirius Black breaks into Hogwarts and destroys the Fat Lady portrait that guards Gryffindor Tower. The students spend the night sleeping in the Great Hall while the teachers search the castle. Soon afterwards, Quidditch moves into full swing, and Gryffindor House plays against Hufflepuff. During the game, Harry spies the large black dog, and seconds later he sees a hoard of Dementors. He loses consciousness and falls off his broomstick. Harry wakes to find that his trusty broomstick had flown into the Whomping Willow and been smashed in his fall, and the game itself had lost. Later, Harry learns from Lupin that the Dementors affect Harry so much because Harry's past is so horrible. During the next Hogsmeade visit, from which Harry is forbidden, Fred and George Weasley give Harry the Marauder's map, written by the mysterious quartet of Moony, Prongs, Wormtail and Padfoot. This map leads him through a secret passageway into Hogsmeade, where he rejoins Ron and Hermione. Inside the Hogsmeade tavern, Harry overhears Cornelius Fudge discussing Sirius Black's responsibility for Harry's parents' deaths, as well as for the death of another Hogwarts student, Peter Pettigrew, who was blown to bits, leaving only a finger. Back at Hogwarts, Harry learns that Hagrid received a notice saying that Buckbeak, the hippogriff who attacked Malfoy, is going to be put on trial, and Hagrid is inconsolable. The winter holidays roll around. For Christmas, Harry receives a Firebolt, the most impressive racing broomstick in the world. Much to his and Ron's dismay, Hermione reports the broomstick to Professor McGonagall, who takes it away out of fear that it may have been sent (and cursed) by Sirius Black. After the holidays, Harry begins working with Professor Lupin to fight Dementors with the Patronus charm; he is moderately successful, but still not entirely confident in his ability to ward them off. Soon before the game against Ravenclaw, Harry's broomstick is returned to him, and as Ron takes it up to the dormitory, he discovers evidence that Scabbers has been eaten by Crookshanks. Ron is furious at Hermione. As Black men, the worst thing we can do is ask how we as individuals can solve the Black man vs. Black woman problem when it comes to love. A few days ago, my homegirl Evita posted that quote on her Instagram. While she posted it in relation to what she deemed to be a successful mindset to bring into an individual relationship, recent events opened my eyes to the truism of that statement not just as an ideology for a single couple, but a mantra that desperately needs to be understood throughout the Black community, particularly regarding how we treat one another. It was a message that I really feel Black men need to hear in reference to how we collectively choose to treat Black women. Last weekend, those of us who engage in and follow the actions of witnessed a vicious and viral debate over one familiar, yet unrelentingly inflammatory statement: “men are trash.” Soon after the remark was put out there and started to trend, the typical gender split occurred, arguments heated up and generalizations began flying left, right and center. Black authors, essayists, activists and rappers were all heavily engaged in this war of words between the “be honest about your toxic masculinity” crowd, and the “not all men” lot. It even exploded into T-shirts being offered on a website stating, “Black Women Are Trash.” As with most 140-character debates, the true losers of this battle were nuance, context and mutual respect. For those of us who sat back and morosely observed our men and women tear each other apart online, we found ourselves facing the same troubling and daunting question we’ve been struggling with since forever, “How do we bridge the gap between Black men and women?” But what I’ve come to realize is that’s the wrong question that we as Black men should be asking ourselves. When I e-published my first ebook last December, I, like many, harbored secret hopes for overnight success. I think I sold about 25 copies that first month, and half of those were pity buys from friends and relatives. I know some of you can relate! After realizing I wouldn’t be a NYT bestseller by the end of my first month, I gave myself a more modest goal: get to the point where I’m selling 1,000 ebooks a month by this time next year. As it happens, that point came in May, my fifth full month as an indie author. I know there are lots of authors out there selling many thousands of ebooks a month, and this is peanuts to them, but I know also it’s a common goal for many folks starting out. I thought I’d share some of the most useful tips I’ve learned, because, quite frankly, I’m not someone who writes in a hot genre and I’m not someone who can say “oh, I just posted on Facebook and the KindleBoards and bought an ad on Kindle Nation Daily and things really took off!” I’ve tried just about everything from buying advertising to forum posting to making YouTube videos to Twitter-ing day and night. Here are some of the marketing steps I took that actually worked: Starting a Blog I know, everyone starts a blog, but I started one with the intent of regularly (three times a week at least). You don’t have to blog on that topic. In fact, you’re more likely to attract your target audience by writing about your niche (i.e. It’s because of you when I’m in bed in the morning that I can wind my spring and tell myself I have to live another good day.” ― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood Fun Facts: • The novel’s massive popularity upon its release launched author Murakami into Japanese super-stardom. • Norwegian Wood has sold over 4 million copies in Japan alone. • Author Murakami is often recognized for the Western elements in his writing and lists Kurt Vonnegut and Richard Brautigan as early influences.

Posted on 27 Aug 2011 Tagged with: I bought this book even before I’ve ever installed vSphere, and still it’s comprehensible. Let’s pretend it’s because of the book, which is very easy to read and not only tell you how to setup certain parts of vSphere, but also WHY. A lot of this book should be common knowledge for all vSphere administrators I guess, but the fact that we go a level further always interests me. How (and when) is a node failure detected, how vSphere calculates which node(s) to move to where, how HA is implemented etc. The technical deepdive is not as technical as I hoped before buying the book, but I guess it’s deep enough for sysadmins to understand why certain things work the way they do. It also got some “basic design principles”, which are good to follow, and all these principles are based on the information in the current chapter. Conclusion This is one of those books that you will read up from time to time since it’s small enough to read in an hour or two but still bulked with lots of info. For more than twenty years, Victor Hamilton's Handbook on the Pentateuch has been introducing students to the first five books of the Old Testament. In this substantially revised second edition, Hamilton moves chapter by chapter through the Pentateuch, examining the content, structure, and theology. He surveys each major thematic unit of the Pentateuch and offers useful commentary on overarching themes and connections between Old Testament texts.

For the right person, this book is well worth the money, especially in the paperback edition. This has been used as a textbook for many years, however I have read it to assist in my own personal study of the first five books of the OT. I've also used it as the basis for teaching classes on these books. For the average person (as I am, a lay person seeking to better understand the Word of God) this book can pay huge dividends. However you must be willing to look up an occasional word or concept. When I first began reading books such as this I kept a dictionary at hand as well as a Bible Dictionary. I was challenged as I read, but as I persevered and kept reading, a foundation was being built under may faith. |
