Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Someone recently said to me in a note, that they did not understand poetry. Thru the years I've heard that a lot...so, I was thinking about it. What is poetry? And if you bought this book, or are thinking about buying this book then...What is my poetry? Well.what is a song? A song just is... What is a painting? A painting just is... A poem, my poems, are just words the reader reads to some beat. The beat is undefined like the meaning to the words in a song. The reader, the listener, becomes the singer, the writer, the discoverer of the beat...the meaning.the reader (you) puts themselves in it. You read a poem as you listen to a song...as it relates to you, in your life.but it's tough to grab people these days for any would-be poet. There is more effort on the part of the reader of a poem as opposed to an album listener...and most people don't even listen to whole albums anymore...pretty soon we won't even hear whole songs...in 100 years we will be reduced to listening to almost inaudible beeps and chimes we assign numbers to, to signify their popularity amongst the general proletariat, and sub-American populous! My poetry is about these things: women, drinking, anxiety, depression, lust, revenge, love, death and recovery. This book is clearer revision of sorts, from my last book, 'Hate The New Girl.' Basically I cut out the fat in this one and fine tuned it. I have also reworked all the poems and have added some new ones. I have stopped drinking since HTNG, and I have found editing this book a whole hell of a lot easier sober. I caught a lot of mistakes and was able to cut deeper into the middle of what really works in the poems and few poetic short stories included. I really feel thatthis is finished piece of work, ready for you, as opposed to HTNG, which was more of a personal, chronological journal on my progression as a young poet and the sad events of my life up to that point. I can only hope that my future books come out as well as this one has, as I

Download or read book The Kill Stealer an Adventure Loosely Based on the Quantified Self Movement written by Dean Paul Dominguez and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-03-12 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On his birthday of all days, 13 year old Divi Rogallo gains unspeakable powers after slaying a gargantuan, dozen-headed Terrabird already bloodied and weakened by the army that failed to kill it, making him a person of interest for Clip Sharinggen who is seeking the final member of his mercenary group. The world in which they live is governed by video game mechanics that affect their lives. These mechanics are quantified attributes of a person or nonhuman animal such as life (HP), strength, defense, and speed. These mechanics play a serious role in the world, determining either success or failure for the characters. For this reason, Divi and his mercenary friends are constantly theorizing about these mechanics to ensure their own success. The group ventures through sublime natural landscapes and extreme climates, often to get a shot at their beloved bounty. The mechanics of this story are loosely based on RPG systems in video games and most recently: The Quantified Self Movement.

Product lines are enabling organizations to achieve impressive time-to-market gains and cost reductions.

Download or read book American Rivals of James Bond written by Graham Andrews and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2023-02-13 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a critical history of spy fiction, film and television in the United States, with a particular focus on the American fictional spies that rivaled (and were often influenced by) Ian Fleming's James Bond. James Fenimore Cooper's Harvey Birch, based on a real-life counterpart, appeared in his novel The Spy in 1821. While Harvey Birch's British rivals dominated spy fiction from the late 1800s until the mid-1930s, American spy fiction came of age shortly thereafter. The spy boom in novels and films during the 1960s, spearheaded by Bond, heavily influenced the espionage genre in the United States for years to come, including series like The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and Matt Helm. The author demonstrates that, while American authors currently dominate the international spy fiction market, James Bond has cast a very long shadow, for a very long time.

Download or read book Shaping Church Law Around the Year 1000 written by Greta Austin and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2009 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Drawing upon new manuscript discoveries, the author shows how Burchard tried to create a new text that would address these problems. He carefully selected and compiled canons from earlier collections and then went on to tamper systematically with the texts he had chosen. By doing so, he created a book of church law that appeared to be based on indisputable authority, that was internally consistent and that was easy to apply through logical extrapolation to new cases. The present study thus provides a window into the development of legal and theological reasoning in the medieval West, and suggests that, thanks to the work of ambitious bishops, the flowering of law and theology began far earlier, and for different reasons, than scholars have heretofore supposed."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Water Quality Indices written by Tabassum Abbasi and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-03-10 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers water quality indices (WQI) in depth – it describes what purpose they serve, how they are generated, what are their strengths and weaknesses, and how to make the best use of them. It is a concise and unique guide to WQIs for chemists, chemical/environmental engineers and government officials. Whereas it is easy to express the quantity of water, it is very difficult to express its quality because a large number of variables determine the water quality. WQIs seek to resolve the difficulty by translating a set of a large number of variables to a one-digit or a two-digit numeral. They are essential in communicating the status of different water resources in terms of water quality and the impact of various factors on it to policy makers, service personnel, and the lay public. Further they are exceedingly useful in the monitoring and management of water quality. With the importance of water and water quality increasing exponentially, the importance of this topic is also set to increase enormously because only with the use of indices is it possible to assess, express, communicate, and monitor the overall quality of any water source. - Provides a concise guide to WQIs: their purpose and generation - Compares existing methods and WQIs and outlines strengths and weaknesses - Makes recommendations on how the indices should be used and under what circumstances they apply
