Barkley Strong had had a rough day. He was starving, so he stopped at the mall for a quick lunch. Normally, he would stay out of other people's business, but when he heard two women shouting at each other, he was worried for the two children in the strollers next to the fighting women. When the sound of a gunshot rang out, he knew he had to do something....Carrie Boone hadn't seen her sister Mattie in over fifteen years. She nor the rest of her family didn't want anything to do with her. Mattie wasn't a good person. But when Barkley Strong called her to tell her that her sister was dead, killed by her own mother-in-law, and her sister's twin girls were in protective custody, Carrie wasn't sure how she felt about that. She had already written Mattie out of her life. She didn't want to care. But when she received a threatening phone call warning her to stay away from her sister's babies, she knew something wasn't right. She would get to the bottom of this....Strong Manor1. Jenson2.

Sharayan (pen name / sub name), Dr. Shreeniwas Sheelawant Raut gets blocked in day-to-day routine life. He gets surrounded by confusion and misunderstandings. He feels that he is unable to communicate with right words, unable to proceed with right actions, unable to convince right people. Here he comes across Arjuna and Krishna both. He picks up their conversation in Sanskrit which is difficult to convey in local language. It is either because of extensivity or complexity. He transforms it in concise simple poetic Marathi, so that someone can read it daily. Then he thinks, many people know hindi and most of world knows english. But people prefer to read in own mother tongue. Thus, things go with inspiration, flow, and passionate love. Just like Mahakali, Saraswati and Sri Lakshmi.

We have been searching for a satisfying answer to this question nearly all of our adult lives, and both Joe and Ron are almost 80. This journey of 50 years led us on an unpredictable path that connected many puzzle pieces together. Along the journey we realized why it's been so hard to get an answer that is consistent with both modern science and traditional religion. In this book, we tell the story of this journey, describing how we got such a unique answer to this question. We hope others who travel with us enjoy the journey, but more importantly, we believe that some will find it as helpful and insightful as we did.

Le présent livre est consacré à l'étude de la traduction de The Life and Times of an African Trade Unionist, un livre qui raconte non seulement l'histoire d'un syndicaliste africain, mais aussi celle du mouvement syndical africain. En effet, l'Afrique représente le théâtre des manifestations et des réalités syndicales que décrit le livre. Pour rendre compte des problèmes linguistiques que nous avons rencontrés au cours de la traduction du livre, il nous semble important de le placer d'abord dans son contexte culturel et historique, car les réalités que nous avons traduites en français baignent dans un contexte sociologique dont la connaissance est nécessaire pour faire un travail scientifique.

"The reading of a poem should be an experience. Its writing must be all the more so."__Wallace Stevens from the book Opus Posthumous"I write to define myself-an act of self-creation-part of [the] process of becoming-In a dialogue with myself, with writers I admire living and dead, with ideal readers..." ___from Reborn: Journals and Notebooks, 1947-1963 by Susan Sontag "You see these bits by Sarki? You won't find bits like these exhibited under any name save his. This is because Sarki's triumph is to have succeeded in overcoming himself as poseur, the occupation consuming the best of us ordinarily, in order to release the poetry in universal occupancy. The bits that follow make sense to me. Is this a pose? Beats me. Like Sarki, I'm just doing what I might to have a terrific time too." ___Gordon Lish

Public sector accounting (PSA) and reporting was subject to considerable national reforms during the last decades and is in the focus of the European Commission aiming to harmonize the accounting systems of its Member States by developing European Public Sector Accounting Standards (EPSAS). Therefore, the topic is of high relevance for both academia and practitioners.This book provides different views about PSA in Europe as of today. It spans topics such as history of PSA, its differences to private sector accounting and finance statistics, as well as budgeting. A main part is devoted to International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) by addressing their spread, conceptual framework and selected public sector specific standards, including a case study. Also, consolidated financial reporting is covered by drawing examples.This textbook is not only of use for students and researchers, but interested readers that seek for broad perspectives on PSA such as practitioners and members of intergovernmental organisations. It intends to complement university teaching modules on PSA as those accessible for free under www.uni-rostock.de/weiterbildung/offene-uni-rostock/onlinekurse/european-public-sector-accounting/.

Desde una perspectiva filosófica, el ser humano es un universo en sí mismo, con una riqueza interior inagotable que muchas veces nos es difícil de explorar y comprender. La metáfora puede ser una herramienta valiosa para acceder a ese mundo interior, ya que nos permite representar nuestros pensamientos y emociones abstractos de manera concreta y visual.>La metáfora es un aspecto clave en la comprensión del libro. Las autoras utilizan imágenes poderosas como la de "agarrarse a los ideales por al menos 24 horas" y "el agua escapando entre los dedos" para transmitir sus mensajes. Estas metáforas ayudan a ilustrar de manera vívida los sentimientos y las emociones que experimentamos en nuestra vida cotidiana. Además, este abordaje de las metáforas nos permite ver de manera clara y concreta cómo funciona nuestro mundo interior, y cómo las diferentes emociones que experimentamos pueden influir en nuestra forma de ser y en nuestras acciones; es una forma poética de describir la forma en que el tiempo nos afecta y cómo debemos lidiar con él. En este libro, aprenderemos a controlar los sentimientos de frustración y de vacío, a gestionar nuestros hábitos y a identificar nuestros triunfos. En resumen, este libro es una obra que invita a la reflexión y al autoconocimiento. A través de la metáfora, las diferentes percepciones y acepciones del tiempo y la poesía, las autoras nos enseñan a aceptar y gestionar correctamente la diferencia entre nuestra realidad y nuestros ideales. Sin duda, es un libro que vale la pena leer para aquellos que buscan una comprensión más profunda de su ser interior y su relación con el tiempo.

Los objetos son parte fundamental de la vida humana, podríamos atribuirles poco valor porque ciertamente lo más importante son las personas y con ellas la salud, relaciones, valores, habilidades e incluso proyectos. Sin embargo, la existencia de las cosas es inherente al ser humano, necesaria; los objetos nos acompañan siempre, por tanto, albergan recuerdos, producen sentimientos, evocan emociones y nos sitúan en momentos que vinculan afectos. Ahora bien ¿Cuál es el significado que damos a los objetos? ¿Qué significados pueden revelarnos? La función utilitaria de los objetos es evidente, pero aportan algo más como identidad o estatus, nos ayudan a satisfacer necesidades emocionales, superar ansiedad, consuelo, etc. Algunos objetos por su relación con las personas nos identifican con ellas, nos hablan de ellas, nos evocan imágenes y momentos, reales o imaginarios; nos inspiran; nos atrapan; nos conmueven. Dibujan patrones del curso de nuestra vida y su continuidad.>En este cuarto libro de la colección Visiones Metafóricas las autoras unen metáforas y objetos para a través de una admirable simbiosis y simbolismo, adentrarnos a la realidad del ser humanos, de sus procesos conscientes e inconscientes, de sus emociones y sus experiencias para encontrar respuestas y aprendizajes.>¿Estás listo?

In lingua quechua il passato è davanti a noi perché lo conosciamo e possiamo studiarlo mentre il futuro è dietro di noi in quanto non possiamo vederlo e quindi ci è sconosciuto. Basterebbe già questo esempio, capace di ribaltare la concezione occidentale del tempo, per dimostrare l'importanza fondamentale di tutti quei "futuri" - negletti e trascurati - che non abbiamo avuto modo di leggere né di esplorare. Per questo motivo il futurismo andino - qui rappresentato da una selezione dei migliori autori e autrici provenienti da Argentina, Bolivia, Cile, Colombia, Equador e Perù - diventa uno strumento potentissimo per aiutarci a espandere la nostra comprensione del domani e ad abbracciarne una visione più complessa ma altrettanto ricca.>Introduzione di César SantivañezSott'acqua di Adriana Alarco - PerùUn uomo nel mio letto di Solange Pappe - EquadorDipendenza programmata di Daniel Collazos - PerùMentre menti di Laura Ponce - ArgentinaLedva di Luis Apolin - PerùMiraflores di Tanya Tynjälä - PerùIl viaggio di Tanya Tynjälä - PerùRobot poeta di Edmundo Paz Soldan - BoliviaParlo con mille voci - Cesar Santivanez - PerùAnuri di Karen Reyes - ColombiaPop up di Nestor Toledo - ArgentinaServiology di Eva Van Kreimmer - CileDiecimila seguaci - Sandrine L.

"I have read many of your poems, and I found your poetry has a lot of symmetrical aspects with Eastern poetry. I could detect the universalized Eastern ideas, especially Buddhist approaches to the poetic subjects. I will conduct a comparative study on your poetry and Zen poetry". Tae Ho Han, poet, professor, Seoul, Korea. "Your poems, intellectual pieces of art with lyrical and harmonic tones, draw serenity and peace, all that we always seek. My congratulations">"Your books have fascinated me. They show clearly the oriental thought, Buddhist-Zen, it is very interesting how the simplicity of your poetry opens intense and profound roads. At the same time your poetic vision of the reality appears to me extremely interesting, a reality magnetized by a superior spiritual thought. I share that view and applaud it" Enrique Solinas, One of the leading poets from Argentina

Some people make a lasting imprint on the fabric of history, while others hardly register in the vast landscape of human life. They have an extraordinary blend of talent, dedication, and enthusiasm that allows them to achieve phenomenal success. They shine like lights in the darkness, showing us that we all have the potential to do great things if we just believe in ourselves. One such person is Hajjie Alejandro, the mysterious protagonist of this fascinating biography. His life is a tribute to the efficacy of hope, the success of the human will, and the transformational potential of travel. In the following pages, we'll explore the inner workings of his mind and body as we untangle the complex web of events that make up his life. This biography goes beyond a straightforward narration of events to offer a profound look into the human experience. It's a hymn to the value of perseverance, the importance of following one's heart, and never giving up on one's aspirations. It's a stunning example of the human spirit's resilience in the face of hardship, the power of familial ties, and the permanence of love. I feel both honored and humbled to have been selected as the biographer tasked with writing Hajjie Alejandro's biography. In order to take you, dear reader, deep into the spirit of Hajjie's incredible trip, I must bring life to the pages of this book. I've tried to create a vivid portrait of Hajjie Alejandro by conducting extensive research, conducting numerous interviews, and maintaining a dogged dedication to getting to the heart of the man behind the journey.
