Download or read book When You Learn the Alphabet written by Kendra Allen and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2019-04-15 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kendra Allen’s first collection of essays—at its core—is a bunch of mad stories about things she never learned to let go of. Unifying personal narrative and cultural commentary, this collection grapples with the lessons that have been stored between parent and daughter. These parental relationships expose the conditioning that subconsciously informed her ideas on social issues such as colorism, feminism, war-induced PTSD, homophobia, marriage, and “the n-word,” among other things. These dynamics strive for some semblance of accountability, and the essays within this collection are used as displays of deep unlearning and restoring—balancing trauma and humor, poetics and reality, forgiveness and resentment. When You Learn the Alphabet allots space for large moments of tenderness and empathy for all black bodies—but especially all black woman bodies—space for the underrepresented humanity and uncared for pain of black girls, and space to have the opportunity to be listened to in order to evolve past it.

The celebrated Portland coffee culture attracts visitors from around the world, who come to explore the diverse options and find inspiration for bringing great coffee to their own cities. In Caffeinated PDX: How Portland became the Best Coffee City in America, author Will Hutchens tells the stories of the people and companies that pushed Portland to the forefront of the specialty coffee scene. He travels around the city, talking to a wide variety of coffee professionals and capturing their passion for roasting, selling, and brewing some of the finest coffees in the world. He attends cuppings, goes to barista school, and volunteers at barista competitions to better understand what's so special about specialty coffee. Using Portland as the model, Hutchens also explains the phenomenon known as third-wave coffee, a worldwide movement to improve coffee quality from origin to cup. Full of anecdotes and insights into the minds of Portland's coffee leaders, as well as some lesser-known personalities, Caffeinated PDX is an enjoyable read for people who love coffee, for people who love Portland, or for anyone who appreciates a good story."

A: Also, it’s boiling when it’s sunny and humid. D: I won’t argue with that. However, it’s so lovely when it’s sunny, dry, and just a little windy. A: Not for me. Rainy days are still the best. D: Really? Why? A: I love the sound of rain, and it makes everything smell so clean and fresh. Part A： 丹尼斯：妳看那萬里無雲的天空，我實在好喜歡晴天！ 愛波： 老實跟你說，我不喜歡晴天。我不想曬黑。 丹尼斯：我倒是想曬黑，陽光能幫助人體製造維他命D。 愛波： 而且晴朗又潮濕的天氣簡直要把人給熱暈了。 丹尼斯：關於那點我沒話說，不過，晴朗乾燥又有微風吹拂的天氣相當怡人。 愛波： 我不覺得。還是下雨天最好。 丹尼斯：是嗎？為什麼？ 愛波： 我喜歡下雨的聲音，而且雨水讓所有的東西聞起來都好清新。 Part B April and Dennis are changing their plans because of the weather. 愛波與丹尼斯因為天氣要更改他們的計畫。 (Dennis = D ; April = A) D: I have some bad news. We have to cancel our picnic tomorrow. A: Why? It’s only a little cloudy. D: Well, I just checked the weather report, and a storm’s coming. A: What? I didn’t hear anything about a typhoon. D: No. I’m talking about a storm with thunder, lightning, and heavy rain. A: Oh, I see. What do you suggest we do? D: I don’t want to take any chances. Let’s put the picnic off. A: OK, if you think that’s the best thing to do. Part B 丹尼斯：我有個壞消息，我們必須取消明天的野餐。 愛波： 為什麼？只是有點陰天而已。 丹尼斯：嗯，我剛剛查了天氣預報，有暴風雨要來。 愛波： 什麼？我沒聽說有颱風啊。 丹尼斯：不是的，我是說有打雷、閃電和豪大雨的那種暴風雨。 愛波： 喔，原來如此。那你建議我們要怎麼做？ 丹尼斯：我完全不想冒險，就把野餐延後吧。 愛波： 好，如果你覺得那是最好的做法。 Part C April and Dennis are preparing for a bad storm. 愛波與丹尼斯在為一場強烈的暴風雪做準備。 (April = A ; Dennis = D) A: Wow! It’s really foggy out. D: It’s only going to get worse, so we need to prepare for the big snow storm. A: Right. We already have warm blankets and new batteries for the flashlights. D: Good. It’s going to be really cold and snowy. A: If it drops down to freezing, then the water in the pipes will turn into ice. D: Correct, so we need to collect and save water for drinking and cleaning. A: OK. I’ll start doing that now. D: Great. I’ll check how much food we have. Part C 愛波： 哇！外面一片霧茫茫的。 丹尼斯：天氣只會愈來愈糟，所以我們要做好準備，迎接強烈暴風雪。 愛波： 對。我們已經有保暖的毯子，也有手電筒要用的新電池。 丹尼斯：很好，天氣會變得很冷，還會下雪。 愛波： 如果氣溫降到冰點，那水管裡的水會結冰。 丹尼斯：是啊，所以我們需要儲水來飲用和清潔。 愛波： 好的，我現在就去儲水。 丹尼斯：好，我去看一下我們有多少食物。

Download or read book A Walker s Alphabet written by Anthony Linick and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-01-12 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For those who need encouragement in taking up the pleasures of the long-distance footpath, a good beginning might be Chapter 1 (A: Adventure). If you want to know what to bring with you, look at Chapter 12 (L: Lists) and if you want to consider whom to bring with you, check out Chapter 3 (C: Companions), Chapter 11 (K: Kids) or even 4 (D: Dogs). If you need some hints on where to head, particularly in Britain, consider Chapter 22 (V: Viewpoints); in the U.K. you will also find use for Chapter 20 (T: Transportation), Chapter 2 (B: Bed & Breakfast), Chapter 8 (H: Hotels), Chapter 16 (P: Pubs), Chapter 25 (Y: Youth Hostels), Chapter 6 (F: Food) and Chapter 23: (W: Weather). How to cope with health crises is discussed in Chapter 9 (I: Illness and Injury). What your feet will encounter on British footpaths is illustrated in Chapter 19 (S: Surfaces); human encounters are discussed in Chapter 5 (E: Encounters) and animal ones in Chapter 26 (Z: Zoo Story). Typical trailside chatter is revealed in Chapter 17 (Q: Questions). How to select and use an appropriate guidebook is covered in Chapter 7 (G: Guidebooks), maps in Chapter 13 (M: Maps), and hints on figuring it all out on the ground in Chapter 18 (R: Route finding). What to do when your route in blocked is considered in Chapter 15 (O: Obstruction!), how to react when you get lost in Chapter 24 (X: X The Unknown) and when to call it a day in Chapter 10 (J: Judgment). Finally, if you want a quick insight into the reliability or even the sanity of the present author, check out his catalogue of grievances in Chapter 21 (U: Unforgiven) or his rambling obsessions in Chapter 14 (N: Neurotica).

We can’t see them at this time back home. H: Really? What bugs can you see then? S: We can see ants, bees, and locusts. They are a kind of grasshopper. H: Are they bigger or smaller than crickets? S: They are bigger, and they can fly. H: Hey, do you have fireflies and cicadas in your home country? S: Sure. We see them in the summer, but we only see cicadas once every 13 years. H: Wow! That’s so different. We see cicadas here every year. Part A 賽門：妳看這些蜻蜓，這個時期在我的家鄉看不到蜻蜓。 海蒂：真的嗎？那你會看到哪些蟲？ 賽門：我們會看到螞蟻、蜜蜂和蝗蟲，蝗蟲是蚱蜢的一種。 海蒂：牠們比蟋蟀大還是小？ 賽門：牠們比較大，而且還會飛。 海蒂：嘿，你的家鄉有螢火蟲和蟬嗎？ 賽門：當然有，我們在夏天會看到那些蟲，不過每十三年才會看到一次蟬。 海蒂：哇！那還真不一樣，我們這裡每年都看得到蟬。 Part B Heidi and Simon are in her kitchen. 海蒂和賽門在海蒂家的廚房裡。 (Heidi = H ; Simon = S) H: Do you smell that smell? It’s really bad. S: Yes. It smells like oil, and it’s coming from around the sink. H: It can’t be oil because I don’t throw it out in the sink. S: OK. Can I take a look under the sink? H: Sure, but be careful. I have many things under there. S: Uh-oh! I see lots of bug droppings, and they’re not from beetles or ladybugs. H: Oh, no! Are they from spiders? I don’t like spiders. S: No. It’s worse. The droppings are from cockroaches. Part B 海蒂：你有聞到那個味道嗎？好臭。 賽門：有，聞起來像是油耗味，而且是從流理台周圍散發出來的。 海蒂：不可能是油，因為我不會把油倒進流理台。 賽門：了解，我可以看一下流理台下方嗎？ 海蒂：當然可以，不過要小心，我在那下面放了很多東西。 賽門：哎呀！我看見很多蟲的排泄物，不是甲蟲或瓢蟲的。 海蒂：喔，不！是蜘蛛的嗎？我不喜歡蜘蛛。 賽門：不是，更糟，這些是蟑螂的排泄物。 Part C Simon and Heidi just entered his place. 賽門和海蒂剛踏進賽門的家。 (Simon = S ; Heidi = H) S: Ouch! Something bit me on my back. H: My guess is a mosquito. Do you want me to put some cream on it? S: Yes, please. It’s starting to get really itchy. H: Hey, something fell out when you pulled up your shirt. S: Oh, I see it. That’s not a mosquito. That’s a spider. H: That’s not good. What do I do for a spider bite? S: First, wash it with warm soapy water. Then, put ice on it. H: OK, I’ll go and get those things ready. Part C 賽門：唉喲！有東西咬我的背。 海蒂：我猜是蚊子，要我幫你塗一點藥膏嗎？ 賽門：好，謝謝，傷口開始變得很癢了。 海蒂：嘿，你把上衣拉高的時候，有東西掉出來了。 賽門：噢，我看到了，那不是蚊子，是一隻蜘蛛。 海蒂：那可糟糕了，蜘蛛咬傷要怎麼處理？ 賽門：首先，用溫熱的肥皂水清洗傷口，接著在上面冰敷。 海蒂：好，我去準備那些東西。

This book was released on 2023-07-28 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have of late, wherefore I know not, lost all of my mirth… Man delights not me; no, nor women neither. In my dreams (and increasingly during my more whimsical waking moments) I wander through Movieland. Sometimes I chat to Kelly McGillis about being in a 4G inverted dive with a MiG-28 while a strung-out Withnail stands close by complaining about going on holiday by mistake. At others a xenomorph near the bus stop rips off Forrest Gump’s head before being machine-gunned by the ED-209. I close my eyes, take a contented breath, and reopen them to see Frau Blücher upsetting the horses again as Tony Montana snorts coke and tells the permanently agitated Don Logan that this town is like one giant pussy waiting to get fucked. I wander and I wander and I never want to leave… Some movies, you see, contain magic. Magic that seeps into your soul and becomes a part of you. I mean, why waste your time travelling the world, having a career, nurturing dreams or taking a woman seriously? Such pursuits involve a great deal of effort and invariably end in disappointment.
