"A probing critique of a modern public sphere that overwhelms the private realm . . . Pressly offers a unique vision of what can be gained by stepping back from the outside world, and the screens that try to possess us." -John Kaag, The Atlantic A visionary reexamination of the value of privacy in today's hypermediated world-not just as a political right but as the key to a life worth living. Today, almost nothing in our digital lives escapes surveillance. We are able to configure privacy settings on our devices and social media platforms, but we know our efforts pale in comparison to the scale of surveillance capitalism and algorithmic manipulation. Many now wonder whether it is still possible to live a private life, or whether privacy is even worth fighting for. The Right to Oblivion argues incisively and persuasively that we still can and should strive for privacy, though for different reasons than we might think. Debates about privacy often equate personal data breaches with violations of individual freedom. Yet, as Lowry Pressly argues, privacy isn't simply a right to be protected, but a tool for making life meaningful. Privacy deepens our relationships with others as well as ourselves, reinforcing our capacities for agency, trust, play, self-discovery, and growth. Without privacy, the world would be shallow, lonely, and inhospitable. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Hannah Arendt, Jorge Luis Borges, and a range of contemporary artists, Pressly shows why we all need a refuge from the world: not a place to hide, but a psychic space beyond the confines of a digital world where the individual is treated as mere data.

According to the author and reviewers, more than 50% of the material taught in courses such as Advanced Dynamics, Mutibody Dynamics, and Spacecraft Dynamics is common to one another. Where graduate students in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering may have the potential to work on projects that are related to any of the engineering disciplines, they have not been exposed to enough applications in both areas for them to use this information in the real world. This book bridges the gap between rigid body, multibody, and spacecraft dynamics for graduate students and specialists in mechanical and aerospace engineering. The engineers and graduate students who read this book will be able to apply their knowledge to a wide range of applications across different engineering disciplines. The book begins with a review on coordinate systems and particle dynamics which will teach coordinate frames. The transformation and rotation theory along with the differentiation theory in different coordinate frames will provides the required background to learn the rigid body dynamics based on Newton-Euler principles.Applications to this coverage can be found in vehicle dynamics, spacecraft dynamics, aircraft dynamics, robot dynamics, and multibody dynamics, each in a chapter. The Newton equations of motion will be transformed to Lagrange equation as a bridge to analytical dynamics. The methods of Lagrange and Hamilton will be applied on rigid body dynamics. Finally through the coverage of special applications this text provides understanding of advanced systems without restricting itself to a particular discipline. The author will provide a detailed solutions manual and powerpoint slides as ancillaries to this book.

Margot is on the quest to uncover and reassemble an ancient—and cursed—vase, with the help of a boy who went missing in 1932, because it's the only way to put back together her broken heart in this standa-lone adventure rom-com, perfect for fans of What the River Knows and The Lost City. The mythical Vase of Venus Aurelia hasn’t been seen since 1932, but Margot Rhodes is determined to change that. Drawn by the vase’s supposed magical properties, Margot embarks on her school’s archaeological trip to Pompeii. Sure, it’s her first time holding a shovel, but she’s got something no one else does: lost teenage explorer Van Keane’s journal. Poring over the poetic entries that serve as a map to the vase’s missing shards, Margot finds herself falling in love with the boy who wrote it a century ago. She’s shocked when her search leads her to a statue that looks exactly like Van, and then the statue comes to life. Catapulted into the present, Van is nothing like the wordsmith Margot imagined. He’s all sharp edges, intent on retrieving the relic for all the wrong reasons. But it takes two to survive Venus’s death-defying challenges, and, together, Margot and Van must excavate the treasure—and their buried pasts—before their story ends in ruins. With a blend of humor, magic, and love, Rachel Moore crafts another stand-alone adventure rom-com full of double- and triple-crosses, hilarious shenanigans, and frustration-fueled banter, where the best treasure is true love.

For centuries, Jews have been accused of something called "blood libel” or "ritual murder”: the killing of non-Jews, often children, to use their blood in bizarre religious ceremonies or to make food. As far back as 300 BC, writers have asserted that Jews sacrificed human beings in their religious practice, but it was not until the Middle Ages that such charges became the basis for civil action. Blood libel trials resulted in many Jewish deaths.Naturally, Jews have denied such charges. The Bible, they said, forbids killing and prohibits the use of blood. Anyone making such claims is merely whipping up anti-Semitism and inciting anti-Jewish action. Even today, the mainstream view is that all such charges are mere "anti-Semitic canards” comprising a most dangerous sort of Jew-hatred. Blood libel, say the Jews, has no basis in fact.But is that true? Until recently, few would have disagreed. But then in the early 2000s, a Jewish-Italian historian, Ariel Toaff, undertook extensive research into the matter. He concluded that not all blood libel cases could be automatically dismissed, and that certain sects of Ashkenazi Jews may well have manifested their hatred of Gentiles in a ritual use of non-Jewish blood. Blood libel, it seems, has a substantial factual basis.Passovers of Blood is certainly one of the most controversial books of the 21st century. If certain Jews did—and perhaps still do—harbor an intense hatred of Gentiles, and if they did—and perhaps still do—use human blood in certain religious rituals, then this has very ominous implications for present-day relations between Jews and non-Jews around the world.

Par le passé, les Chinois pratiquaient ce que l'on peut qualifier d'acupuncture de la terre. Ils plantaient des tiges métalliques dans le sol ce qui avait pour but d'harmoniser le lieu avec les énergies environnantes. En électroculture, c'est cette même philosophie qui peut être appliquée pour soigner la Terre, favoriser le bien être global d'un jardin, de cultures, grâce à une harmonisation énergétique.Depuis l'Abbé Bertholon, Jean Nollet ou encore Justin Etienne Christofleau, de nombreux chercheurs dans l'histoire ont œuvré à créer des antennes aériennes / magnétiques toujours plus perfectionnées et performantes. La littérature historique ne manque pas d'exemples et d'expérimentations sur le sujet ! Une antenne pourra donc permettre, tels les arbres, de stimuler les échanges bioénergétiques bénéfiques pour le vivant dans le but de favoriser la vigueur, la croissance, la résistance à la sécheresse et aux maladies des végétaux et des cultures... Les systèmes que je développerai dans ce livre sont plus ou moins aisés à mettre en œuvre mais une fois en place, ils fonctionneront de manière naturelle et gratuite.D'où proviennent ces techniques ? Comment fonctionnent-elles ? Quelles en sont les différentes applications ? C'est une histoire très riche qui gravite autour des antennes aériennes type paratonnerre et des antennes magnétiques . Elles peuvent s'exporter ensuite pour le bonheur et le bien-être du potager, du champ, du verger, de la vigne, de la dynamisation de l'eau... C'est là que l'on comprend le nombre d'applications possibles !Je vous propose donc dans ce deuxième ouvrage qui suit mon premier Tours d'énergie et basalte paramagnétique de poursuivre notre aventure dans ce vaste domaine libre et émancipateur qu'est : l'Electroculture ou Agriculture énergétique . Ainsi vous pourrez comprendre concrètement comment appliquer à votre propre contexte ces techniques parfois mystérieuses. Nous allons d'abord suivre la piste des origines et de l'histoire de l'antenne aérienne type paratonnerre . Vous pourrez notamment découvrir des images et des articles presses d'archives et même parfois re-colorisés par mes soins. C'est une véritable enquête d'une dizaine d'années que j'ai souhaité vous communiquer par ce biais ; nous allons donc suivre ensemble les traces de l'histoire qui fait vibrer nos cœurs. Ceci nous permettra de mieux comprendre ensuite le fonctionnement et les diverses utilisations des antennes aériennes . Ensuite, en complément, nous verrons les applications des aimants avec l'antenne magnétique ainsi que différentes combinaisons possibles que vous pourrez vous approprier. Au final, un parallèle sera fait avec la bioélectronique Louis Claude Vincent . A partir de ces faits, nous verrons aussi qu'il existe des outils et appareils de mesure concrets pour analyser les effets de ces systèmes atypiques sur les plantes, le sol, les cultures...

Throughout history, the right to vote has been extended to landowning men, the poor, minorities, women, and young adults. In each case, the meaning of democracy itself has been transformed. The one major group still denied suffrage is the third of humanity who are under 18 years of age. However, children are becoming increasingly active in political movements for climate regulation, labor rights, gun control, transexual identity, and racial justice. And these have led to a growing global movement to eliminate minimum ages of enfranchisement. This book argues that it is time to give children the vote. Using political theory and drawing on childhood studies, it shows why suffrage cannot legitimately be limited according to age, as well as why truly universal voting is beneficial to all and can help save today’s crumbling democratic norms. It carefully responds to a wide range of objections concerning competence, knowledge, adult rights, power relations, harms to children, and much more. And it develops a detailed childist theory of voting based on holding elected representatives maximally responsive to the people’s different lived experiences. The book also introduces the concept of proxy-claim voting, wherein parents or guardians exercise proxy votes for non-competent persons, both child and adult, until whatever time those persons wish to claim or reclaim the exercise of their vote for themselves. Ultimately, the book maps out a new vision of democratic voting that, by equally empowering children, is at last genuinely democratic.

Look to Brazil for safe, stable investments As the future of the American economy seems to get bleaker by the day, it is tempting to look abroad for business opportunities. Europe and Asia don't provide much hope, but what about somewhere that's both closer to home and sunny year-round? In Brazil is the New America: How Brazil Offers Upward Mobility in a Collapsing World, James D. Davidson shows that the current financial situation in Brazil is a haven for those looking to make money in a world in turmoil. With a population just 62 percent the size of that of the US, Brazil has added 15,023,633 jobs over the past eight years, while the US has lost millions. In a world burdened by bankrupt governments and aging populations, Brazil is solvent, with two people of working age for every dependent. In a world of "Peak Oil" Brazil is energy independent, with 70 billion barrels of oil, 60% of the world's unused arable land, and 15% of its fresh water. Comparatively non-leveraged--and with significant room for growth and expansion, as well as vast natural resources, Brazil is a haven of opportunity. Written by James D.Davidson, the editor/publisher of Strategic Investment and cofounder of Agora and the media outlet, Newsmax, Brazil is the New America details:* How the original "America" now embodies the brightest hope for realizing the American Dream while the "Old America" is headed for a dramatic decline in the standard of living* Investment opportunities not only for those willing to relocate, but anyone who can consider investing there* The cost structure of employment in Brazil versus the United States Brazil has already learned its lesson about the dangers of inflation. Cash has taken the place of credit, and high interest rate returns are now the norm.
