Un florilège de mots et d'histoires qui racontent avec humour la Roumanie80 mots qui sont autant d'histoires qui racontent la Roumanie et qui, en plus des racines des mots et de leur résonance dans le cœur des femmes et des hommes qui les utilisent, évoquent le lien particulier qu'entretient l'auteur avec ce pays, ses habitants et leur langue. Des textes courts et enlevés où chaque mot donne lieu à une histoire racontée avec humour, sensibilité et une touche d'érudition.« Ma véritable porte d'entrée dans la culture roumaine est une histoire d'amour. Tout a commencé en 1999, avec ma correspondante de lycée — et encore aujourd'hui, la douceur de mes jours. Ça ne s'invente pas. Cette relation est d'ailleurs à l'origine de mon désir de passer une année d'études à Bucarest dès l'année suivante, afin de me rapprocher d'elle, bien sûr, et de mieux connaître sa langue, son pays et sa culture. En réalité, je pense être tombé doublement amoureux cette année-là, sans vraiment l'avoir prévu. À la fois d'une femme, et d'une langue. Et, à bien y réfléchir, pour des raisons étrangement semblables. Les deux m'ont paru très vite étonnamment familières, tout en me restant profondément étrangères. Mieux que des âmes sœurs, elles m'ont offert une forme d'équilibre parfait entre l'identique et le différent, un espace rare qui n'abandonne rien à l'ennui ni à l'insaisissable. La recette idéale — en tout cas à mon sens… et pour mes sens —, d'une relation amoureuse. »

The classic word-of-mouth bestseller, completely revised and updated for the age of AIYou have about 80,000 hours in your career- 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, for 40 years. If you want a rewarding and interesting life that changes the world, your choice of career is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make. However, there's surprisingly little good advice out there. Most career advice focuses on CVs and offers misleading platitudes like 'follow your passion'. And it insists that if you want to do good you should become a teacher, doctor or a charity worker - even though the evidence suggests that the highest-impact people did nothing of the sort. A self-published word-of-mouth bestseller, this new edition of 80,000 Hours draws on a decade of research conducted at the University of Oxford to offer you the tools you need to find a career you enjoy, you're good at, and that tackles the world's most pressing problems.
In the 80/10/10 diet, 80% of food consumed should consist of good carbohydrates, 10% should be protein and 10% should be healthy fat. The best way to succeed with this kind of diet is to keep a diet journal. The reality is that most people eat because of emotions, not hunger. This explains the overeating phenomenon. A journal helps keep track of food consumed, but should also be used to record the emotions associated with a dieter's cravings.

A breakthrough program for triathletes -- beginner, intermediate, and advanced -- showing how to balance training intensity to maximize performance -- from a fitness expert and elite coach.Cutting-edge research has proven that triathletes and other endurance athletes experience their greatest performance when they do 80 percent of their training at low intensity and the remaining 20 percent at moderate to high intensity. But the vast majority of recreational triathletes are caught in the so-called "moderate-intensity rut," spending almost half of their time training too hard--harder than the pros. Training harder isn't smarter; it actually results in low-grade chronic fatigue that prevents recreational athletes from getting the best results.In 80/20 Triathlon, Matt Fitzgerald and David Warden lay out the real-world and scientific evidence, offering concrete tips and strategies, along with complete training plans for every distance--Sprint, Olympic, Half-Ironman, and Ironman--to help athletes implement the 80/20 rule of intensity balance. Benefits include reduced fatigue and injury risk, improved fitness, increased motivation, and better race results.

The San Magnolia Republic has long been under attack by unmanned weapons from the neighboring Empire. Against this onslaught, the Republic has also deployed similar weapons, narrowly avoiding great loss of life and impending disaster-or at least thats how it seemed. The truth is that it has never been possible to have no casualties. Young men and women drawn from the Republics supposedly non-existent 86th district are organized into the 86 unit and then ordered to pilot the unmanned weapons before heading to battle...
For many years, the Republic of San Magnolia has been at war with the neighboring Giadian Empire. Faced with the relentless might of the Empire’s Legion of autonomous drones, the Republic counters with unmanned weapons of their own, creating a battlefield that is supposedly without casualties. However, beyond the fortified walls protecting the eighty-five Republic territories lies the "nonexistent” Eighty-Sixth Sector. The young men and women of this forsaken land are branded the Eighty-Six and, stripped of their humanity, pilot the "unmanned” weapons into battle...
As Lena and Shin take their first steps on Republic soil after what seemed like a lifetime, they find a country that still hasn't changed—one that cannot change. But their newest operation can’t wait. After surviving battlefield after hellish battlefield, and seeing what they have to return to, Lena and Shin begrudgingly take their first steps into the darkness...But the ghosts of the dead gather to stand in their way, their eyes a cavernous silver.
Lena takes command of the Spearhead squadron from her post within San Magnolia’s fortified First Sector. She and Shin fight on without ever seeing each other, buther attempts to forge a bond of trust are stymied by the walls of hatred between Alba and Colorata, as well as the literal fortified walls between the Republic’s eighty-five Sectors and the front lines. With tempers flaring after a death on the battlefield, Lena is forced to confront her own ugly cowardice and will soon come to learn why Shin’s previous handlers called him Reaper.

Pride is all we haveThe attack Shin foresaw has finally come to pass. Wielding a weapon with destructive force hitherto unseen, the Long-Range Artillery-type Legion unit rains unmitigated chaos over the battlefield. Both the Federacy's western front and the Gran Mur of the Republic crumble under the might of the monolithic railgun, capable of dealing catastrophic damage from hundreds of kilometers away. With their backs against the wall, the Giadian military makes a controversial decision: A special strike force will charge into the heart of Legion territory, engage the Railgun type from close range, and destroy it. Shin and the Eighty-Six will spearhead the operation....But Shin has not been himself lately. Having defeated his brother's ghost and freed himself from the Republic, the Reaper finds himself without purpose. What reason does he have to go on living? For whose sake does he fight...?
Live to fight. Die with honor. That was all they knew, and they were proud. But as they saw themselves reflected in the Sirins-slaughtered by the thousands with nothing to show for it-a crack formed in their ironclad resolve. Shin's mind festered with doubt. Lena's heart tore at the seams as she struggled to understand him. Would they find common ground over the course of the United Kingdom operation? Or would they drift further apart...?
A PATH TO PURPOSE LAID WITH IRON RAILS.An end to the endless war—the possibility of stopping the Legion once and for all. Such is humanity’s most fervent desire. But in the war-free world of tomorrow, what will become of the Eighty-Six? Many have gained renewed faith in the future. Some have found love; others, new aspirations. But what of those who have yet to dream? The warm rays of hope have bent their iron wills and distorted their realities. For those tragic few, the worst is yet to come…
For better or worse, the battle with the Noctiluca has drawn to a close…for now. The Eighty-Six’s minds are heavy with thoughts of close friends and bitter enemies swallowed by the cold, dark abyss. Among the casualties are Shana, Shiden’s vice captain, joining the fallen in their watery grave, and Theo, whose loss of his left hand had all but sealed his fate as a Processor. As Shiden swears revenge, Kurena, who blames herself for Shana’s death, cracks beneath the weight of her guilt. While the Eighty-Six struggle to pick up the pieces, though, the Legion inexorably pursue their bloodless objective, and the Noctiluca has reportedly taken refuge in the surviving Holy Theocracy of Noiryanaruse. Now Shin and company must set foot in the mysterious western nation of which even the United Kingdom and the Federacy are wary…
