Marxist Indoctrination in Our American Schools

Marxist Indoctrination in Our American Schools

Olga Isabel Nodarse and Raúl Edu Chao

Lulu.com
2022
pokkari
PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS IN THE UNITED STATES ARE WATCHING WITH ALARM AND ANGER AS THE SCHOOL SYSTEM HAS GIVEN IN TO LEFTIST PRESSURES AND, IN MANY PLACES, HAS TURNED SCHOOLS INTO INSTRUMENTS OF MARXIST AND ANTI-AMERICAN INDOCTRINATION. THERE ARE TEACHERS TELLING CHILDREN THAT WE MUST DISPLACE THE "MYTHOLOGY" OF 1776 AND UNDERSTAND THAT 1619, WHEN THE FIRST BLACK SLAVES ARRIVED IN VIRGINIA, IS THE TRUE DATE OF THE FOUNDING OF THE UNITED STATES. TO THIS THEY ADD THAT THE CIVIL WAR WAS INTENDED TO PROTECT AND MAKE SLAVERY PERMANENT THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY; THERE ARE TEACHERS WHO TELL THEIR STUDENTS THAT RACISM IS "STRUCTURAL AND UNBREAKABLE," AND IS "SEATED" IN THE LEGAL SYSTEM, TO PROTECT "WHITES," AND MAINTAIN THEIR "PRIVILEGES." A THIRD CHARGE OF THE MARXIST TRAINERS IS TO CONFUSE CHILDREN IN THEIR EARLY SCHOOL YEARS, FROM KINDERGARTEN TO SECOND AND THIRD GRADE, WITH ISSUES OF SEX AND TRANSFORMATIVE SEXUALITY, THAT CHILDREN ARE NEITHER OF AGE NOR HAVE THE NECESSARY MATURITY TO UNDERSTAND. IN THIS BOOK, THE AUTHORS PRESENT THE IDEOLOGICAL BASES OF THE 1619 PROJECT AND THE CRITICAL RACIAL THEORY (CRT), THE TWO SOURCES THAT PROMOTE THE MARXIST CREED AMONG OUR YOUNG PEOPLE, AND THE ABUSES THAT ARE COMMITTED AGAINST CHILDREN BY TRYING TO MISLEAD THEM WITH EXCESSIVE, EXTEMPORANEOUS AND MISLEADING CONCEPTS ABOUT SEX.

Greek Tragedy and Modernist Performance

Greek Tragedy and Modernist Performance

Olga Taxidou

EDINBURGH UNIVERSITY PRESS
2023
nidottu
Examines the centrality of Greek tragedy for modernist performance Examines the centrality of Greek tragedy for modernist performance Analyses how Hellenism becomes a mode of theatricality Looks at the interface between theatricality and performativity Revises the fraught relationships between tradition and innovation within modernism more generally Examines modernist acting theories and the ways they engage with classical theories of acting Examines modernist theories of puppetry and how they re-write classical theories of puppetry Reads the modernist encounter with Geek tragedy as a re-staging of the ancient quarrel Proposes a modernist aesthetic of Greek tragedy based on Hellenism as theatricality, that radically revises the philosophical discourses of tragedy so central for the project modernity from German Idealism onwards This modernist approach to Greek tragedy is read as parallel to the development of Performance Studies and Reception Studies, contributing to a more experimental, open and democratic view of the classics and their contemporary relevance This book examines the ways the encounters between modernist theatre makers and Greek tragedy were constitutive in the modernist experiments in performance. Through a series of events / instances / poses that engage visual, literary and performing arts, the modernist love/hate relationship with classical Greek tragedy is read as contributing to a modernist notion of theatricality, one that follows a double motion, revising both our understanding of Greek tragedy and of modernism itself. Isadora Duncan, Edward Gordon Craig, T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, W. B. Yeats, H. D, and Bertolt Brecht and their various, sometimes successful sometimes failed experiments in creating a modernist aesthetic in performing, dancing, translating, designing Greek tragedies, sometimes for the stage and sometimes for the page, are presented as radical experiments in and gestures towards the autonomy of performance. In the process the artists of the theatre themselves the actor, the designer, the director, the playwright are reconfigured and given a lineage and genealogy, through this modernist revision of tragedy and the tragic not as as a philosophical or philological tradition, but as a performance practice.

Me, But Better

Me, But Better

Olga Khazan

John Murray Press
2025
pokkari
In recent years, Olga Khazan had been spiraling toward an existential crisis. Though she treasured her loving, long-term relationship and her dream job, she often caught herself snatching dissatisfaction from the jaws of happiness. Her neurotic overachieving had always been a professional asset, but lately, Olga felt that her brittle disposition could shatter under the weight of just one more thing. She knew something had to give-but was it really possible to change her entire approach to life?In Me, But Better, Olga embarks on a year-long experiment to see if it's truly possible to change your personality, sample size: one. Scientifically, personality consists of five sliding-scale traits: extroversion (how sociable you are); conscientiousness (how self-disciplined and organized you are); agreeableness (how warm and empathetic you are); openness (how receptive you are to new ideas and activities); and neuroticism (how depressed or anxious you are). But research shows that you can alter these traits by consistently behaving in ways that align with the kind of person you'd like to be. And that, in turn, can make you happier, healthier, and more successful.So, for one year, Olga decided to fake it until she made it. She reluctantly clicked "yes" on a bucket list of new experiences, from meditation to improv to sailing, that forced her to at least act happy, healthy, and well-adjusted, in the hope that she would actually become those things. With a skeptic's eye, Olga brings you on her personal journey through the science of personality, presenting evidence-backed techniques to change your mind for the better. Based on her viral article in The Atlantic, Me, But Better is a probing inquiry into what it means to live a fulfilling life, and how you can keep diving into change, no matter how uncomfortable it feels.

Balkan Sprachbund Morpho-Syntactic Features

Balkan Sprachbund Morpho-Syntactic Features

Olga M. Tomic

Springer-Verlag New York Inc.

sidottu
At the end of 1998, Professor Pieter Muysken was awarded the Spinoza prize of the Netherlands Organization of Scientific Research (NOW) and set up a research program entitled “Lexicon and Syntax”. The implementation of the Program started in the autumn of 1999 with research on the lexicon and syntax in a number of areas where contacts between 1 different languages are intensive. For the languages of many of the areas selected, basic data had to be collected. For most of the languages of the Balkan Sprachbund area, however, there are grammars and dictionaries. Moreover, quite a number of studies of the Balkan Spra- bund features have been published. Accordingly, when I joined the team of the Project, I aimed at a description of the state of art in the field. After several months of research, I realized that Balkanists have mainly been concerned with compiling lists of similarities and making parallels between the lexical and grammatical forms of the Balkan languages, while analyses of the interaction of the Balkan Sprachbund morpho-syntactic features with other features in the structure of the DP or the sentence of a given language/dialect are scarce. This oriented me towards descriptions of Balkan Spra- bund morpho-syntactic features in the context of individual sub-systems in nine Balkan language to which they relate – the Slavic languages Macedonian, Bulgarian and Serbo-C- atian; the Romance languages Romanian, Aromanian and Megleno-Romanian; Albanian; Modern Greek; and the Arli Balkan Romani dialect.

The Employees

PENGUIN BOOKS LTD

'I was obsessed from the first page to the last. A strange, beautiful, deeply intelligent and provocative investigation into humanity. The Employees is an alarmingly brilliant work of art’ Max PorterOn the Six-Thousand Ship, things have started to feel changed. Since bringing aboard a number of strange objects from a newly discovered planet, the crew – both human and humanoid – have begun to feel a yearning. They want to be near the objects, to feel them pressed against their skin, but they also all now feel a curious new hunger for home: Earth, that place many cannot even remember.The Board of Directors are eager to understand more, and so instruct a commission to interview each of the employees. Those who are born dream of soil, the smell of warm asphalt, the sound of animals and birds. Those who are made know only what is programmed, and yet feel it deeply, truly. As their testimonies accumulate, a tapestry of longing and quiet rebellion emerges, blurring the lines between work and life, between human and machine.The Employees was the breakout novel from one of the most celebrated authors in world literature, and is now seen as a masterpiece of twenty-first century literary science fiction. In stark, pristine prose, Olga Ravn forms a timeless meditation on productivity, pleasure and what the far-flung future might miss.'Beautiful, sinister, gripping. A tantalising puzzle you can never quite solve.' Mark Haddon

Zeus in Early Greek Mythology and Religion

Zeus in Early Greek Mythology and Religion

Olga A Zolotnikova

BAR Publishing
2013
nidottu
This monograph examines the religious and mythological concepts of Zeus from prehistoric times until the Early Archaic period. The research was performed as an interdisciplinary study involving the evidence of the Homeric poems, archaeology, linguistics, as well as comparative Indo-European material. It is argued that Greek Zeus, as a god with certainly established Indo-European origins, was essentially a god of the open sky and the supposed progenitor of everything, a supreme, but not ruling deity; initially, he must have been distinct from the god of storms, who, for unknown reasons, completely disappeared from Greek religion and mythology by as early as the Late Bronze Age. From the time of Homer, Zeus-Father appeared as a storm-god, the autocratic ruler of the universe, and an offspring of elder deities, on the level of mythology. Such a concept does not correspond to the traditional Indo-European patterns and seems to have been formed under the influence of Near-Eastern concepts of the supreme almighty god, on the one hand, and the Cretan-Minoan concept of a young god/divine child, on the other. However, the Homeric concept of Zeus was adopted by his practising cults much later, only from the Late Archaic period.

The scene is set in the year 2049. Judith, Naemah and Chrissy are friends from college days. As delegates at an international conference, they are shocked to hear from NASA news of an imminent deadly threat to the world - a threat that requires the three monotheistic faiths to join together as one. Based on innovative hypnosis technology, Project Kabala sends Judith, Naemah and Chrissy back in time to the Holy Land some 4000 to 2000 years ago in a desperate effort to stop the threat. As tension mounts and catastrophe for the whole world looms, will Project Kabala be enough and in time to avert the apocalyptic disaster that awaits us all ? A surprising Epilogue widens the scenario still further, giving a reason for many of man's age-old unsolved dilemmas on Earth whilst pointing the way to a far-reaching unimaginable future.

Double Exposure

Double Exposure

Olga Shevchenko

AldineTransaction
2014
sidottu
Over the past decade, historians and sociologists have increasingly used visual materials, in particular photographs, in their work. This volume brings together historians, sociologists, anthropologists, and media and visual scholars to articulate how photography, as a practice and as a visual medium, can provide insights into national memory, collective identities, and the historical imagination. This collection allows the reader to trace parallel conceptual developments occurring in the sociology and anthropology of memory and in the history and theory of photography, and to illustrate the unique "angles of vision" these disciplines offer.Photographic images commonly accompany historical accounts, from documentaries to family scrapbooks, and since the early days of commercial photography, pictures have been viewed as tools to capture memories. Later critical writing has challenged this equation by inverting it: photos, along with other archival practices, were often viewed as falling short of their supposed function as vessels of memory and at times even denounced as devices that distorted memories.How does photography participate in the formation and maintenance of collective identities and shared memory discourses, from the family to the nation? Furthermore, how can we begin to conceptualize photography's effects on the historical imagination of individuals and groups? Double Exposure endeavors to answer these questions by calling attention to the variety of contexts in which images circulate and to the narratives from which they spring and which they, in turn, shape. This is the latest volume in Transaction's Memory and Narrative series.

Advances in Fresh-Cut Fruits and Vegetables Processing

Advances in Fresh-Cut Fruits and Vegetables Processing

Olga Martin-Belloso; Robert Soliva Fortuny

CRC Press Inc
2010
sidottu
Despite a worldwide increase in demand for fresh-cut fruit and vegetables, in many countries these products are prepared in uncontrolled conditions and have the potential to pose substantial risk for consumers. Correspondingly, researchers have ramped up efforts to provide adequate technologies and practices to assure product safety while keeping nutritional and sensory properties intact. With contributions from experts from industry, research centers, and academia, Advances in Fresh-Cut Fruits and Vegetables Processing collates and presents new scientific data in a comprehensive update on technologies and marketing considerations.Taking a multidisciplinary approach, this work discusses the basics and recent innovations in fresh-cut fruit and vegetable processing. It addresses scientific progress in the fresh-cut area and discusses the industry and the market for these commodities. The book covers the regulations that affect the quality of the final products and their processing as well as consumers’ attitude and sensory perceptions. The chapters cover the design of plants and equipment, taking into account engineering aspects, safety, and HACCP guidelines. They also examine innovations in creating healthy and attractive products.Use of innovative packaging technology that could improve product quality and shelf life, new fruit mixtures with more variety, incorporation of flavors, or the use of steamer bags for vegetables are just a few considerations that could expand the markets of fresh-cut products. With its focus on science, including biochemical, physiological, microbiological, and quality aspects, as well as heath considerations and consumer science, this book reports on cutting-edge advances and the practical applications of these advances.
