Book Synopsis Negative Orientation by : Devin D’Jwan Butler
Download or read book Negative Orientation written by Devin D’Jwan Butler and published by Alpha Book Publisher. This book was released on 2021-10-29 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this world we are born into negativity. We have no understanding of this force and how it will mold us going forward in our lives. One thing is for sure, it will be a part of our journey whether we like it or not. We can choose to run from it, fall prey to it or learn to control it. What this book will reveal is how to do just that, be in control, but first one must be aware. This is a journey of how one can take advantage of the negativity within themselves and use it as a source of power. During the times we live in today, negativity is being broadcasted more than ever. People are falling victim to this programming which stops one from striving to achieve and become something more. What if that same negativity was a suppressed part of self, that if dealt with, can give one the ability to not only strive but to thrive. The process of going through the dark is painful but necessary if one wants to find their way to the light. There is an ancient proverb that states “to know thy kingdom, is to know thyself”. There is also a Shakespearean saying that goes “to thyself be true”. To understand self is to understand our dark sides. Negativity is inherently a part of us but it does not have to be what we become.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A diverse cast of characters -- Kamala Khan (Ms. Marvel), Miles Morales (Spider-Man), and Doreen Green (Squirrel Girl) -- team up in their first-ever middle-grade series told through comics, in-world artifacts, and more! Kamala Khan was an average middle school kid. That is, until a cloud called a Terrigen Mist swept through the New Jersey waterfront and activated her super powers! After taking on the persona of Ms. Marvel, she's been fighting crime in Jersey City, and has caught the eye of some pretty well-established super heroes. But that's not always a good thing...After Kamala is caught by news cameras taking on a super villain -- and accidentally destroying a building along the way -- she gets a letter from Captain Marvel herself! It's great that she's fighting crime and sticking up for people, but maybe a regular school isn't the best place to learn how to do that. If she wants to continue as Ms. Marvel, she's going to need to take on some new extracurricular activities -- mainly, training with other young super heroes alongside the Avengers!Now Kamala is the new kid at the Avengers Institute. Her classmates are all kids like her, they have special powers, but most of them have gotten into some trouble or drawn attention to themselves. The big news at the Avengers Institute this year? An academic decathlon in which students will group up into teams and compete against each other in super heroics. Kamala and her friends Miles and Doreen will have to go up against a team led by some kids who fight less than fair -- and have some trouble with the concept of "fighting for good" -- in this funny, action-packed look at some ordinary middle school kids who just happen to have some extraordinary powers.
Book Synopsis Orientation and Other Stories by : Daniel Orozco
Download or read book Orientation and Other Stories written by Daniel Orozco and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2011-05-24 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breakfast's boiled egg, the overhead hum of fluorescent lights, the midmorning coffee break—daily routines keep the world running. But when people are pushed—by a coworker's taunt, a face-to-face encounter with a woman in free fall from a bridge—cracks appear, revealing alienation, casual cruelty, madness, and above all a simultaneous hunger for and fear of the unknown. Daniel Orozco leads the reader through the hidden lives and moral philosophies of bridge painters, men housebound by obesity, office temps, and warehouse workers. He reveals the secret pleasures of late-night supermarket trips for cookie binges, exceptional data entry, and an exiled dictator's occasional piss on the U.S. embassy. A love affair blooms between two officers in the impartially worded pages of a police blotter; a new employee's first-day office tour includes descriptions of other workers' most private thoughts and actions; during an earthquake, the consciousness of the entire state of California shakes free for examination. Orientation introduces a writer at the height of his powers, whose work surely invites us to reassess the landscape of American fiction. Orientation is a Kirkus Reviews Best of 2011 Short Story Collections title.
Book Synopsis What is Orientation? by : Werner Stegmaier
Download or read book What is Orientation? written by Werner Stegmaier and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-08-19 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The very first thing one does in all situations of life is orient oneself. Decisions of orientation, which are mostly made under uncertainty and the pressure of time, largely determine subsequent decisions. But what is orientation? The problems of orientation are as old as humankind, the word is used everywhere, but the concept has never been thoroughly investigated. The philosopher Werner Stegmaier comprehensively clarifies for the first time the conditions and structures of orientation, including those of our sexual, economic, media, political, legal, scientific, artistic, religious, moral, and ethical orientations. He thereby establishes a new philosophical language and offers a philosophy for our time. "As if I unexpectedly slipped down into a deep vortex, I am swirled around in a way that I can neither put a foot down, nor swim to the surface. Nonetheless, I will work my way out ... " (René Descartes, Philosopher) "As often as my speculation seems to lead me too far from the paved road of common sense, I stand still and seek to orient myself. I look back at the point from which we started, and I seek to compare the two guideposts I have." (Moses Mendelssohn, Philosopher) "A philosophical problem has the form: ‘I do not know my way about.’" (Ludwig Wittgenstein, Philosopher) "The second O, orientation – as the repository of our genetic heritage, cultural tradition, and previous experiences – is the most important part of the O-O-D-A loop since it shapes the way we observe, the way we decide, the way we act." (John Boyd, Military Strategist)

Book Synopsis Orientation Systems of the North Pacific Rim by : Michael Fortescue
Download or read book Orientation Systems of the North Pacific Rim written by Michael Fortescue and published by Museum Tusculanum Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orientation Systems of the North Pacific Rim is an extension of the author's earlier volume Eskimo Orientation Systems (also published in the series Monographs on Greenland - Meddelelser om Gronland, Man & Society, 1988). This time it covers all the contiguous languages ? and cultures ? across the northern Pacific rim from Vancouver Island in Canada to Hokkaido in northern Japan, plus the adjacent Arctic coasts of Alaska and Chukotka. These form a testing ground for recent theories concerning the nature and classification of orientation systems and their shared ?frames of reference?, in particular the many varieties of ?landmark? systems typifying the Arctic and sub-Arctic. Despite the wide variety of languages spoken here (all of them endangered), there is much in common as regards their overlapping geographical settings and the ways in which terms for orientation within the microcosm (the house) and within the macrocosm (the surrounding environment) mesh throughout the region. This is illustrated with numerous maps and diagrams, from both coastal and inland sites. Attention is paid to ambiguities and anomalies within the systems revealed by the data, as these may be clues to pre-historic movements of the populations concerned ? from a riverine setting to the coast, from the coast to inland, or more complex successive displacements. Cultural factors over and beyond environmental determinism are discussed within this broad context."

Book Synopsis Difference and Orientation by : Alexander Kluge
Download or read book Difference and Orientation written by Alexander Kluge and published by Cornell University Press and Cornell University Library. This book was released on 2019-09-15 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexander Kluge is one of contemporary Germany's leading intellectuals and artists. A key architect of the New German Cinema and a pioneer of auteur television programming, he has also cowritten three acclaimed volumes of critical theory, published countless essays and numerous works of fiction, and continues to make films even as he expands his video production to the internet. Despite Kluge's five decades of work in philosophy, literature, television, and media politics, his reputation outside of the German-speaking world still largely rests on his films of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. With the aim of introducing Kluge's heterogeneous mind to an Anglophone readership, Difference and Orientation assembles thirty of his essays, speeches, glossaries, and interviews, revolving around the capacity for differentiation and the need for orientation toward ways out of catastrophic modernity. This landmark volume brings together some of Kluge's most fundamental statements on literature, film, pre- and post-cinematic media, and social theory, nearly all for the first time in English translation. Together, these works highlight Kluge's career-spanning commitment to unorthodox, essayistic thinking.

Download or read book Beyond OODA written by Varg Freeborn and published by Varg Freeborn. This book was released on 2021-05-31 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond OODA: Developing the Orientation for Deception, Conflict and Violence is Varg Freeborn's highly anticipated follow up to the extremely popular Violence of Mind. While Violence of Mind was a broad introduction to all aspects of violence preparation, Beyond OODA focuses precisely on the development of mindset, or more accurately the orientation that influences and governs our decision making, and how it is developed for both good and bad people, alike. A scholarly lesson on Boyd's O.O.D.A. loop is just the beginning of Beyond OODA. Then, as the title suggests, the book dives way past that concept into the deeper work of understanding, recognizing and developing the orientation specifically, since therein lies the answers to affecting our own decision making under stress as well as influencing the decision making of others at will. "A thorough and experienced analysis of the most critical component of decision making. With his depth of knowledge and unparalleled experience in the realm of criminal violence, Varg Freeborn breaks from the norm of "they don't think like you and I" to expose how culture, values, attachments as well as internal and external parameters inform decision making for both 'good guys' and violent criminals. Renowned warrior philosophers from practically every era have stated the importance of knowing one's self to better understand the enemy. Referred to as 'Orientation' by LtCol John Boyd and expressed in chilling detail through the experiences of a man who has lived at both ends of the "good vs evil" spectrum, "Beyond OODA: Developing the Orientation for Deception, Conflict and Violence" creates a roadmap to developing counters to life and death situations as well as preparation for an eventual aftermath." -Daniel Shaw (Firearms Instructor, Shaw Strategies, USMC Ret.) "You are absolutely spot on with how you're using Boyd's concepts, and I think he'd be very excited with this book...you've written a Book of Five Rings for the 21st century." -Chet Richards (Author of Certain to Win, long-time friend and colleague of LtCol John Boyd)
