Privée d'amour et de stabilité, elle grandit dans un environnement où le respect et l'égalité semblent lointains. L'auteure, "enfant non désirée", décrit avec une sincérité bouleversante les épreuves qu'elle a dû affronter: la peur, l'humiliation, l'abandon, la solitude.Déterminée à échapper à cette vie, l'auteure se lance le défi de s'éduquer, entreprenant un long travail sur elle-même pour sortir de l'ombre et trouver sa place dans la société.Dans la seconde partie du livre, l'auteure entame une carrière dans le social en tant que "veilleur de nuit" dans un centre d'accueil pour enfants. Déterminée à offrir à ces jeunes enfants le soutien qu'elle n'a jamais eu, elle se bat pour leur offrir un avenir meilleur. Cependant, rapidement, les rouages du système se révèlent cruels et corrompus par des considérations économiques plutôt qu'humaines. L'auteure se heurte à la misogynie et au racisme. Malgré les embûches, elle continue d'apporter amour, espoir et compassion à ces âmes meurtries."L'élan de l'Espoir: Survivre pour Grandir" est un cri du coeur vibrant d'amour et de colère, une invitation à ouvrir les yeux sur ces âmes meurtries qui méritent autant que quiconque le bonheur et la liberté.

Plongez au coeur d'une quête de justice et de compassion, et découvrez comment une voix, une âme déterminée peuvent changer le destin d'une multitude d'enfants oubliés.

Enfants, nous voulions tous jouer au hockey comme Maurice Richard. Certains avaient du talent, d'autres, pas du tout. Je faisais partie de la seconde catégorie, n'ayant aucune aptitude ni habileté pour la pratique de ce sport. Dès la première tentative, j'aurais dû abandonner ce rêve. La nature m'avait défavorisé. Chevilles molles et poignets gélatineux n'ont jamais fait bon ménage avec notre sport national. Malgré ces handicaps, un profond désir de jouer au hockey me possédait. À défaut de talent, j'y mettais tout mon coeur. Passionné comme pas un. Le hockey dans les tripes, des images plein la tête, je tentais de suivre la trace de mon héros.

A great deal has been done and progress has been made in race relations. However, remnants of historical injustices, usually unintended, do show up in standards applied to groups that have, historically, been marginalized. For example, they may be required to go far and beyond their ability to show they can do a job or run a government or corporate department. The same standards may not be set or applied to the dominant group. Indeed, a lot can still be done. For the good that is being done, we should applaud those, and laugh at the past. This little book is a satire.

After the dramatic ending of book two, Keira must better understand who she is and what she is truly capable of doing. Tested throughout by her traveling partners, faces of the past, and Sohon's approaching army, she must act quickly to get to her father who journeys to the other part of the world.

Nevermore is a dark, historical fantasy filled with romance, southern charm, and all the trappings of a classic historical romance. Walking the line between the occult, the paranormal, and the reality of 1800s life in The Great Dismal Swamp, Nevermore is also chock full of action and adventure. Follow Edgar Allan Poe and Lenore into The Great Dismal Swamp and experience one version of the birth of Poe's famous poem, "The Raven." On the banks of Lake Drummond, on the edge of The Great Dismal Swamp, there is a tree in the shape of a woman. One dark, moonlit night, two artists met at The Lake Drummond Hotel, built directly on the borderline of North Carolina and Virginia. One was a young woman with the ability to see spirits trapped in trees and stone, anchored to the earth beyond their years. Her gift was to draw them, and then to set them free. The other was a dark man, haunted by dreams and visions that brought him stories of sadness and pain, and trapped in a life between the powers he sensed all around him, and a mundane existence attended by failure. They were Eleanore MacReady, Lenore, to her friends, and a young poet named Edgar Allan Poe, who traveled with a crow that was his secret, and almost constant companion, a bird named Grimm for the talented brothers of fairy-tale fame. Their meeting drew them together in vision, and legend, and pitted their strange powers and quick minds against the depths of the Dismal Swamp itself, ancient legends, and time. Once, upon a shoreline dreary, there was a tree. This is her story. AUTHOR'S NOTE: This novel is a direct spin-off from "Kali's Tale," the fourth book in the DeChance Chronicles - initially it was going to be the prologue to book V - but is now a fully separated, stand-alone work - though the stories tie together, and are all one big story - as novels, over time, tend to become. Book One, "Heart of a Dragon," is only .99 and books 2-4 are now available in a single omnibus edition. If you enjoy Nevermore, you may find The DeChance Chronicles to your liking. Book V - "A Midnight Dreary," draws directly on elements of Nevermore.

The struggle eventually lands him and his friends in New Orleans and the Robert Charles race riots, where the past they select will decide the future the world gets. All Darrell has to do is decide how to die.

Terwijl de houdbaarheid van het diploma en de baan 'voor het leven' afneemt, nemen nut en noodzaak van levenlang leren toe om mensen in staat te stellen hun maatschappelijke positie te handhaven of te verbeteren. In de huidige 'lerende samenleving' is continu leren van belang voor iedereen, zowel voor het individu als voor de samenleving en haar organisaties en instanties. Leren Waarderen gaat over zingeving, vorm en inhoud van dergelijk levenlang leren. Leren Waarderen is het waarderen van het Leren en het leren van het Waarderen. Het ontwikkelt zich in de dialogen binnen 'de lerende driehoek' van het individu met haar persoonlijke leergeschiedenis, de organisatie waar het individu functioneert en de school of instelling waar het individu leert. Leren Waarderen helpt de juiste balans te creëren tussen deze drie actoren. EVC en gepersonaliseerd leren zijn hier de pijlers onder. De Erkenning van elders of eerder Verworven Competenties (EVC) is de systematiek die zich richt op het herkennen, waarderen, erkennen en verder ontwikkelen van de competenties die iemand in welke leeromgeving dan ook al heeft verworven.

Gayle the Goose, a directionally challenged Canada Goose, has faced her biggest challenge yet in her latest book, Gayle the Goose Graduates.

The remarkable true story of a Canadian paratrooper's escape from behind enemy lines following the Battle of Arnhem in September 1944. Ideal for readers of James Holland, Anthony Beevor and Cornelius Ryan. On September 17, 1944, over 8,000 men of the British 1st Airborne Division landed in German-occupied Netherlands as part of the largest airborne invasion ever undertaken. Twenty-two-year-old Canadian paratrooper Leo Heaps was one of them. Told with authenticity and clarity, Heaps' personal account of the nightmare battle fought after the paratroopers dropped at Oosterbeek paints a remarkably vivid picture of one of the most dramatic and little-known events of the Second World War. Captain Leo Heaps volunteered to serve with the British Army early in 1944 and arrived in England in May of that year. Attached to the Dorset Infantry Regiment, he took part in the D-Day assault on Normandy in June. After twelve days, he was wounded and returned to England. In August, he applied to join a British Parachute Regiment and was accepted. A mere three weeks later, Heaps made his first and only jump as the Arnhem assault commenced. Escape from Arnhem is a powerful and personal account of a young man's experience fighting in the Battle of Arnhem. His capture by the Germans and incredible escape was only the beginning. His immediate return to Holland as part of Operation Pegasus and his vital work with the Dutch resistance to help rescue hundreds of Allied soldiers behind enemy lines resulted in Heaps being awarded the Royal Military Cross for "outstanding gallantry." Written only a year after the war ended, the images of the Battle of Arnhem are as fresh and raw as the wounds of war themselves and offer a stark reminder of the triumph and tragedy during and after the Battle of Arnhem.

Rooted in Western Montana, the essays of Aligning the Glacier's Ghost navigate how sense of place intertwines with sense of self, filling geographical and personal in-betweens of identity and illness, memory and story, and intimacy and solitude. This stunning and evocative debut gives shape to those distances, naming them as grief, narrative, and belonging. Capdeville begins the collection with one of many fissures of health, setting the stage for a lush braiding of metaphor, the body, and the natural world. In spanning the space between loss and being lost, Aligning the Glacier's Ghost outlines absence, the evolution of self, and Capdeville's foundation of place in trail work, travel, and early adulthood. Readers will find themselves enmeshed in Capdeville's reflections on how the seen and unseen interconnect to shape an inner world.

When seventeen-year-old Alex's dad dies, it feels like her entire world stops-only it doesn't. Her family moves on as if nothing happened, and Alex feels pressured to do the same. She starts dating the quarterback of the football team, going to parties, and getting ready for the big homecoming dance-all in hopes that her life will turn back around. The more she gets used to the raves and recognition, the less time she has to think about her father-even if it's at the cost of her own identity. Then she meets Camerona boy who quickly finds his way under her skin and into her heart and suddenly, Alex is reminded that grief, like her heart, is not something to keep locked away.

The first edition was published before global distribution and the internet became ubiquitous, hence many friends and colleagues did not get to read these poems.

Olá, e bem-vindo(a) a uma jornada pelo mundo da programação Python, projetada especialmente para você, que busca conhecimento prático, relevante e imediatamente aplicável. Você já ouviu falar da "Regra 80/20", também conhecida como o Princípio de Pareto? Segundo esse princípio, 80% dos efeitos vêm de 20% das causas. No contexto deste livro, isso significa que vamos nos concentrar nos 20% de Python que você realmente precisa conhecer para realizar 80% do que deseja fazer. Estou falando de conhecimento que não só faz sentido no abstrato, mas que você pode colocar em prática assim que fechar este livro. A linguagem Python é incrivelmente extensa e diversificada, oferecendo um arsenal vasto de bibliotecas e frameworks. Entretanto, tentar aprender tudo seria uma missão quase impossível e, francamente, desnecessária. Vamos focar em torná-lo eficaz e eficiente, abordando apenas as partes que fornecem o maior "retorno sobre o investimento" de tempo e esforço. Neste livro, você encontrará tópicos que vão desde a manipulação de dados com bibliotecas como Pandas e Numpy, passando pela automação de tarefas rotineiras e até mesmo interações com o mundo externo através de APIs e scraping de web. Cada capítulo foi elaborado para oferecer informações diretas, exemplos práticos e vastos exercícios que reforçam a aplicação do conteúdo. Mas não se engane: embora nossa abordagem seja focada, isso não quer dizer que você terá uma compreensão superficial de Python. Ao contrário, nosso objetivo é oferecer uma base sólida e flexível, permitindo que você acesse áreas mais complexas com confiança, caso sinta a necessidade. Então prepare-se para desbloquear uma nova habilidade que pode transformar sua carreira, hobby ou mesmo a forma como você interage com a tecnologia no dia a dia. Vamos nessa? Atenciosamente, Fabrício de Mello Viegas

This book is a series of my favorite poetry. Writing has been a way to channel my emotions into beautiful art.

Mario, una vida llena de resiliencia nos habla que vivir en sociedad es un constante desafío, una discontinua línea de reveses que no solo es inexcusable superar para sobrevivir hoy en día, sino que también es apremiante convertirlos en logros que propicien los firmes avances hacia ese territorio de necesarias incertidumbres que suelen identificarse con el mañana.>Iván TlapapalMexicano. Apodado Vladi por mis amigos. Orgulloso nieto, hijo y padre. Cuando me preguntaron qué quería poner en mi reseña, simplemente entré en caos. En primer lugar, no podría creer que una de mis metas de vida se estaba logrando. En segundo, me empecé a decir: Te lo mereces. Disfrútalo. Finalmente dije que no pondría títulos académicos en mi reseña y agradecería a todos por todo.
