Sensitiv; om høysensitive menneskers skjulte kraft i en bråkete, hektisk og overinten
Verktøyene og innsikten alle sensitive mennesker trenger for å blomstre i en høylytt, hektisk og overintens verden. «Ikke vær så følsom!» Får du ofte høre det? Alle vi mennesker har en sensitiv side, men nesten en av tre personer er genetisk mer følsomme enn andre - både fysisk og emosjonelt. Dette er mennesker som tar en pause før de snakker og som tenker før de handler; de registrerer subtile detaljer og ser sammenhenger som andre går glipp av. Sensitive mennesker er ofte intelligente, varmhjertede kreative og går i dybden selv om samfunnet rundt dem er overflatisk. SENSITIV handler om dem og taler deres sak. Forfatterne i denne boken viser oss hvordan vi kan frigjøre potensialet i de sensitives styrke og utnytte den på tvers av de viktigste områdene i livet: i vennskap og relasjoner, på arbeidsplassen, som leder eller forelder. Gjennom fascinerende forskning og interessante historier viser forfatterne at nøkkelen til å ha det godt som sensitiv ikke er å skjule sin følsomhet, men å omfavne den.
Non-constituency Members Of Parliament: What's Next For The Scheme?

Non-constituency Members Of Parliament: What's Next For The Scheme?

Four decades have elapsed since the Non-Constituency Member of Parliament (NCMP) scheme was introduced in 1984. It has been raised and debated at every general election since — even as Singapore's political landscape has seen major changes since the scheme was introduced, when the ruling People's Action Party (PAP) had nearly complete domination of Parliament.To its proponents, the NCMP scheme has been an extraordinary instance of the PAP government's magnanimity in allowing 'best losers' from opposition parties to enter Parliament. To cynics, the scheme was designed to stave off the challenge to the PAP by guaranteeing voters a minimum level of opposition representation, to encourage them to vote for the PAP. Regardless of the perspective taken, the innovation of the NCMP scheme has been central to the question of political representation in Singapore.This book looks at the evolution of the scheme, with contributions by the NCMPs themselves, providing a platform to discuss whether the scheme is still relevant today, and how it could be changed. It captures views from both the PAP and the opposition, as well as from political observers.

I Have the Right to: A High School Survivor's Story of Sexual Assault, Justice, and Hope
"A bold, new voice." --People "A nuanced addition to the #MeToo conversation." --Vice A young survivor tells her searing, visceral story of sexual assault, justice, and healing in this gutwrenching memoir. The numbers are staggering: nearly one in five girls ages fourteen to seventeen have been the victim of a sexual assault or attempted sexual assault. This is the true story of one of those girls. In 2014, Chessy Prout was a freshman at St. Paul's School, a prestigious boarding school in New Hampshire, when a senior boy sexually assaulted her as part of a ritualized game of conquest. Chessy bravely reported her assault to the police and testified against her attacker in court. Then, in the face of unexpected backlash from her once-trusted school community, she shed her anonymity to help other survivors find their voice. This memoir is more than an account of a horrific event. It takes a magnifying glass to the institutions that turn a blind eye to such behavior and a society that blames victims rather than perpetrators. Chessy's story offers real, powerful solutions to upend rape culture as we know it today. Prepare to be inspired by this remarkable young woman and her story of survival, advocacy, and hope in the face of unspeakable trauma.

La Pseudo-Traduction, de Cervantes a Mark Twain
English summary: This study explores the genre of pseudo-translation from Cervantes to Mark Twain. The authors lively analysis traces the evolution of this genre, mostly through American literature, and traces the ties that connect it to translation, languages, and language. French description: Cet ouvrage se donne pour double objectif de livrer un etat des lieux de la pseudo-traduction au plan theorique et d'en faire evoluer le perimetre ainsi que la definition. Au fil de reflexions et d'analyses meticuleuses, il convoque theoriciens et textes cles tout en proposant un eclairage nouveau rendu necessaire par les nouvelles etudes de cas proposees. Partant de Cervantes et le Don Quichotte, en lequel il voit la grande pseudo-traduction d'origine, l'auteur trace une ligne qui mene jusqu'au coeur de l'oeuvre de Samuel Clemens en passant par ce curieux ouvrage attribue a Walter Scott, Walladmor, un volume sur la prise de Grenade signe Washington Irving et une nouvelle de Nathaniel Hawthorne. Le lecteur est invite a suivre cette quete des traces, signes, indices et motivations qui rendent la pseudo-traduction signifiante et la font etre en lien non seulement avec la traduction, mais egalement avec les langues et le langage. L'auteur a pour ambition ici de faire oeuvre de traductologue, d'historien de la litterature americaine du XIXe siecle, de bibliographe et d'enqueteur. Au terme d'une analyse que l'on a voulue vive, fluide et d'une lecture agreable, cette etude en profondeur contribuera a redonner a la pseudo-traduction une juste place dans le discours theorique sur la traduction.

Are you ready for one heckuva ride? Those who have read The Da Vinci Code know that Dan Brown has led his readers on a wild, improbable, and thrilling adventure. He wants you to question what you've been told all these years. And sure-that's half the fun Here's the other half. The Da Vinci Code Adventure doesn't merely talk about The Da Vinci Code and its themes. It directly tackles Dan Brown's text, taking both fans and casual readers well into the next leg of Brown's compelling and fascinating theological exploration-and this is what Brown is really after. He wants us to question the text of his own novel, too. Let author and pastor Mike Gunn be your guide through both The Da Vinci Code itself and the dizzying maze of Scripture, contemporary scholarship, philosophy, historical documents, Church tradition, and faith-oriented films that tell the rest of this intriguing story. Mike and his team of investigators, HollywoodJesus.com editors Greg and Jenn Wright, analyze Dan Brown's text a handful of chapters at a time, closely examining his portrayal of Opus Dei, the Priory of Sion, the Knights Templar, the Masons, Hieros Gamos, the sacred feminine, and the Council of Nicaea, among other topics. The structure of these investigations is inspired directly by the text of The Da Vinci Code, closely following the outline of Brown's narrative. Fact and legend are weighed side by side. Truth hangs in the balance. Along the way, your guides present a broad perspective on how films have portrayed Jesus, the mysteries of the Christian faith, and the quest for the Holy Grail-everything from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade to Mel Gibson's Passion, from The Last Temptation of Christ to The Omega Code, and much much more.

The devil prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8), is that someone you?This book is for you if you respond YES to any of the following questions: Do you feel pushed around by events and people in your life? Is the world the boss of you? Tired of worrying about what people think of you? Feel like a cat toy that is tossed about by opinions and status? Ever lay awake at night worried about how things will turn out or why things happen as they do? Do you rise and fall emotionally based on positive and negative feedback from others? You have been hijacked: to steal by seizing; to take over and use for different purposes. It's identity theft at the highest level: your life. Did you forget that you have the same spirit that rose Christ from the dead living in you which gives you the ability to restore what has been taken from you and used for different purposes? You have forgotten "whose" you are on this journey of life. Cool thing is, since you are the one who forgot, or perhaps never knew that your sense of meaning and significance has been hijacked, you can now take steps to hit the refresh button and restore your identity in Christ. Stop: is an action word and means to abandon a specific practice or habit, in this case, to abandon the habit of giving power to the world (people, circumstances and experiences) to define your worth and value, sense of meaning and significance. Stop letting the world be the boss of you When you refresh your identity in Christ, you restore your identity to its original link: to God. God loves and adores you, has plans to give you hope and a future, will never leave you or forsake you and offers you peace that passes all human understanding. Take back your ability to resist the devil (tossing your sense of meaning and value to the world) with 25 solutions that teach you how to reinvigorate, re-establish, and refresh your identity in Christ, resulting in a transformation that will change your life for the better.

"An outstandingly good introduction to Foucault's work: lucid, measured, well organised, and covering this complex and in many ways heterogeneous body of work with remarkable thoroughness and ease." - Professor John Frow, University of Melbourne "This is a clear and understandable book, starting with a very helpful glossary of theoretical terms... an accessible introduction to Foucault's major work exploring power and control, governmentality and ethics which are crucial for students to understand." - Tracy Ramsey, Liverpool Hope University "A very good accompaniment to any student thinking seriously about following the work of Foucault... Easy to follow, very well structured." - Mark Timoney, Sligo Institute of Technology Michel Foucault is now regarded as one of the most important thinkers of the twentieth century. He is known for his sensibility of critique and his commitment to movements for social change. His analysis of the ways our notions of truth, meaning, knowledge and reason are shaped by historical forces continues to influence thinkers around the world. Understanding Foucault offers a comprehensive introduction to Foucault's work. The authors examine Foucault's thinking in the context of the philosophies he engaged with during his career, and the events he participated in, including the student protests of 1968. A unique feature of the book is its consideration of recently published lectures and minor works, and the authors show how these illuminate and extend our understanding of Foucault's major books. Understanding Foucault provides an accessible entrée to the world of this extraordinary and challenging philosopher.
