Fourth grade is not going at all how Benny Barrows hoped. He hasn't found a new best friend. He's still not a great bike rider - even though his brother, George, who's autistic, can do tricks. And, worst of all, he worries his dad's recent accident might be all his fault. Benny tries to take his mom's advice and focus on helping others and to take things one step at a time. But when his dad ends up in the hospital again, Benny doesn't know how he and his family will overcome all the bad luck that life seems to have thrown their way.

Before the White House and Air Force One, before the TV ads and the enormous rallies, there was the real Barack Obama: A man wrestling with the momentous decision to run for the presidency, feeling torn about leaving behind a young family, and figuring out how to win the biggest prize in politics. This audiobook is the previously untold and epic story of how a political newcomer with no money and an alien name grew into the world’s most powerful leader. But it is also a uniquely intimate portrait of the person behind the iconic posters and the Secret Service code name Renegade.

Nietzsche divenne filosofo “per necessità”, perché attratto “dall’elemento universalmente umano”. E in tal senso incarna lo spirito dell’uomo, il suo essere spinto da una forza primordiale verso un perenne superamento, volto a cogliere l’essenza che lo anima. Nell’incredibile volume di scritti, appunti, frammenti e aforismi che Nietzsche ha lasciato, risulta chiaro l’intento di fornire tracce, più che un sistema di pensiero.

Così parlò Zarathustra: “Io vi insegno il Superuomo. L’uomo è qualcosa che deve essere superato. Che avete fatto voi per superarlo?” E Osho avviando la sua visitazione del capolavoro di Nietzsche, commenta: “Cosa intende Zarathustra per ‘superuomo’? Esattamente quello che io intendo per ‘uomo nuovo’. Ho tralasciato la parola ‘super’ per motivi ben precisi. Può essere fraintesa... lo è già stata. L’uomo del futuro è per me ‘l’uomo nuovo’.

A missing national treasure. A dancer who might be a spy. A double agent. An old actor. A murder. How are they all interconnected? Desmond Okewood, new to the British Secret Service, must impersonate a German agent, infiltrate a band of traitors, and discover the connections.

Few have faced adversity like Alvin Brooks has. He was born into an impoverished family, he nearly lost his adoptive father to the justice system of the South, and he barely survived a health crisis in infancy. However, his greatest challenges would be learning how to navigate a racist society as a young boy and then later protecting his beloved wife, Carol, and their six children. Despite all the adversity he faced, Brooks became a lifelong leader and a servant of his community.

In quest’ultima parte dei discorsi dedicati da Osho al "Così parlò Zarathustra" di Nietzsche, risulta evidente una nuova trasposizione di identità. Infatti, il Maestro inizia richiamando l’attenzione sulmistico persiano, così come lui lo evoca, e nel testo – pur apprezzando tutte le intuizioni che portarono Nietzsche vicinissimo alla verità – sottolinea con fermezza le lacune nei ragionamenti delpoeta filosofo che confermano la sua inesperienza, rispetto alla dimensione dell’essere.

Secondo Osho «Il silenzio è la meditazione per eccellenza, ed è la base di qualsiasi esperienzareligiosa. Ma in cosa consiste? Potresti crearlo, potresti coltivarlo, potresti importelo... ma così rimane qualcosa di superficiale, di falso, una finzione. Potresti farne una pratica, in quel casoinizierai a percepirlo e a sperimentarlo; ma proprio il tuo farne un esercizio, lo renderà una sorta di autoipnosi. Quello non è il vero silenzio. Il silenzio vero affiora solo quando la tua mente si dissolve, non a causa di un qualsiasi sforzo, magrazie a una comprensione.

When those we elect descend into criminal malfeasance and emulation of foreign autocracies and oligarchies, Cedric Alexander says it is the unelected apolitical "fourth branch" of government - our nation's public servants, civil servants, and first responders - who must save the nation. Alexander, a former deputy mayor, police chief, and CNN commentator, argues that these people do not constitute a nefarious "deep state" pursuing a hidden agenda. They keep the country running and its people safe....

Eine vorläufige Bilanz der Privatisierungspolitik lässt wenig Zweifel, dass kaum eines der damit verbundenen Versprechen eingehalten worden ist: Der Imperativ des Profits drängt dazu, die kaufkräftige Nachfrage gegenüber gesellschaftlichen Bedürfnissen und erkämpften Rechtsansprüchen zu privilegieren. Und zwar ohne dass die öffentlichen Dienstleistungen dabei "besser, billiger, bürgernäher" geworden wären, wie ein Schweizer Privatisierungs-Manifest in den 1990er-Jahren versprochen hatte.

As they say, there are a thousand ways to use a knife. If one method isn't working, don't keep doing it. It's time you try another effective method to help students see themselves and the world from a different, much better perspective.

Too often, fatherlessness and dysfunctional families are mentioned as possible contributing causes among school shooters and other killers. But just as quickly, it is all ignored as the conversation moves on to other topics—most often to guns, mental health, or security failures. Those things often fit the agendas of politicians and the news media. Yet, when we look at killers of all sorts and of all ages, the shared foundation among the vast majority of them—is fatherlessness. Almost all of the most deadly killers throughout the whole of history were fatherless.
