Badge 387: The Story of Jim Simone, America's Most Decorated Cop
Robert Sberna
Independently Published
2018
nidottu
For nearly 40 years, Jim Simone patrolled Cleveland's 2nd District, a drug-plagued area with one of the highest violent crime rates in the U.S. Nicknamed "Supercop," Simone generated headlines and public interest on a scale not seen since Eliot Ness searched for Cleveland's "Torso Murderer" in the 1930s. Simone entered police work after serving in Vietnam with the 101st Airborne, where he earned two bronze stars and two purple hearts. As a cop, he never shied from danger. He was involved in numerous gun battles, and killed five people in the line of duty (all ruled justifiable). Notoriously equitable as a cop, Simone was more interested in doing the right thing than honoring the "blue code." Badge 387 recounts the brave exploits that earned Simone hundreds of commendations. In 1983, while searching a church basement for a gunman, he was shot in the face. Despite his wounds, he managed to shoot his assailant, saving himself and two other cops. And in 2009, he plunged into a frigid river to save a woman. Simone was Cleveland's "Patrolmen of the Year" in 1980 and 2009, the only officer in the city's history to receive the award twice.
The first book in the Simone Simpson series explores Simone's days as a young woman. Leaving behind an abusive father, and a masochistic mother, she leaves Kentucky to begin a new life in New York City, where she eventually settles and finds her place. But it isn't long before heartbreak follows her.When Simone meets the eclectic Jennifer Keys, the two women become friends and business partners in "I Do" LLC, where the duo plan weddings for the rich and famous, often having to tolerate outbursts from bridezillas and their families.In Die Before "I Do" the women have to face violence, substance abuse and murder.In the midst of the chaos, can Simone find love again, or will the ghosts from her past follow her, bringing danger and intrigue at every turn?
Simone Simpson finds herself, once again, tangled up with a variety of questionable characters in See Paris Before "I Do". For months, Simone has been receiving text messages of love from her deceased husband, Joe. And it seems there's been an intruder in her home rearranging her belongings What is going on? Fear and suspicion distract Simone from planning her client's elegant wedding in Paris. Could it be her boyfriend, or her business partner, Jennifer Keys? Or, someone else?

Shonda Buchanan weaves a prism of language, sound and light around and through the life of concert pianist, singer and Civil Rights activist, the incomprehensible Nina Simone. With this book, Buchanan is declaring this The Century of the Black Woman, providing a realistic glimpse into not only Simone's life, but the lives of Black women in America, past and present, and their choices in a myopic, unforgiving country. A grandchild of enslaved Africans, American Indians and Irish migrants, born into poverty as Eunice Waymon in a traditionally large family, Nina Simone lived a life few Black American women lived during the Jim Crow era in the South, yet rose to ultimately impact the world with her creative genius and determined spirit. This book is both an emotional and historical excavation of an artist's life, capturing the rise and descent of that life, including Simone's family history, her childhood and young womanhood, as well as the addiction, mental health struggles and abuse. The Lost Songs of Nina Simone embodies the rich legacy --- the pleats between the cloth --- of Simone's artistry, beauty, self-immolation and rage.

Il concetto di forza nell'opera di Simone Weil
Ilaria Albano
Edizioni Accademiche Italiane
2017
nidottu
This book offers a detailed analysis of Beauvoir’s concepts of freedom and recognition concerning their impact on a philosophy of gender. It demonstrates that Beauvoir is much more than a simple equality feminist and that she posed questions that are at the center of contemporary feminist research. It shows that Beauvoir’s existentialist approach must be taken seriously in that it provides a fundamental instrument for the interpretation of gender relations. On the basis of her work the conflicts are revealed that arise when modern emancipation theories and post-modern deconstructivism clash. By investigating these conflicting tendencies the thesis is elaborated that Beauvoirs’s work can be seen as a pivot between modern and post-modern discourse.

Simone Weil (1909-1943) teve uma exist ncia profundamente marcada pelo sentimento de compartilhamento diante do sofrimento alheio. Sobremaneira, este sentimento a vinculou ao cristianismo como um dom nio onde se encontra um horizonte de sentido para a experi ncia dilacerante do sofrimento, al m de um exemplo de que poss vel desempenhar um ato de compaix o mesmo em meio ao extremo desenraizamento da vida. Motivada por esta refer ncia, configurou uma cr tica severa s formas de segrega o e opress o existentes nas religi es institucionalizadas, o que se desmembra como um tema rico e instigante em suas reflex es.

Simone Weil (1909-1943) lebte ein Leben, das zutiefst von dem Gef hl gepr gt war, am Leiden der anderen teilzuhaben. Dieses Gef hl verband sie vor allem mit dem Christentum als einem Bereich, in dem man einen Sinnhorizont f r die herzzerrei ende Erfahrung des Leidens finden kann, sowie ein Beispiel daf r, dass es m glich ist, auch inmitten der extremen Wurzellosigkeit des Lebens einen Akt des Mitgef hls zu vollziehen. Durch diesen Bezug motiviert, hat sie eine scharfe Kritik an den Formen der Segregation und Unterdr ckung in den institutionalisierten Religionen formuliert, die in ihren berlegungen als ein reiches und anregendes Thema auftaucht.

Simone Weil (1909-1943) lived an existence deeply marked by the feeling of sharing in the suffering of others. Above all, this feeling linked her to Christianity as a domain where one can find a horizon of meaning for the heartbreaking experience of suffering, as well as an example that it is possible to perform an act of compassion even in the midst of the extreme rootlessness of life. Motivated by this reference, she has shaped a severe critique of the forms of segregation and oppression that exist in institutionalised religions, which emerges as a rich and thought-provoking theme in her reflections.
Simone Weil (1909-1943) ha vissuto un'esistenza profondamente segnata dal sentimento di partecipazione alla sofferenza degli altri. Soprattutto, questo sentimento la legava al cristianesimo come ambito in cui trovare un orizzonte di senso per l'esperienza straziante della sofferenza, nonch come esempio che possibile compiere un atto di compassione anche in mezzo all'estrema mancanza di radici della vita. Motivata da questo riferimento, l'autrice ha dato forma a una critica severa delle forme di segregazione e oppressione esistenti nelle religioni istituzionalizzate, che emerge come tema ricco e stimolante nelle sue riflessioni.
