Exploring the controversial science of diet and health, "Good Calories, Bad Calories" is a tour de force of scientific investigation certain to redefine the ongoing debate about food and its effects on health.
Otto Rahn's lifelong search for the Grail brought him to the attention of the SS leader Himmler, who shared his esoteric interests. Induced by Himmler to become the chief investigator of the occult for the Nazis, Rahn traveled throughout Europe - from Spain to Iceland - in the mid 1930s pursuing leads to the Grail and other mysteries. "Lucifer's Court" is the travel diary he kept while searching for "the ghosts of the pagans and heretics who were [his] ancestors." It was during this time that Rahn grasped the positive role Lucifer plays in these forbidden religions as the bearer of true illumination, similar to Apollo and other sun gods in pagan worship.This journey was also one of self-discovery for Rahn. He found such a faithful echo of his own innermost beliefs in the lives of the heretics of the past that he eventually called himself a Cathar and nurtured ambitions of restoring that faith, which had been cruelly destroyed in the fires of the Inquisition.His journeys on assignment for the Reich - including researching an alleged entrance to Hollow Earth in Iceland and searching for the true mission of Lucifer in the caves of southern France that served as refuge for the Cathars during the Inquisition - also led to his disenchantment with his employers and his mysterious death in the mountains after his break with the Nazis. This is the first English translation of the author's journeys in search of a Nordic equivalent to Mt. Sinai. It explains why Lucifer the Light Bringer, god of the heretics, is a positive figure.

Remember the words of Ivan Rogers the next time you hear some plausible posh boy in a suit telling you `no deal wouldnt hurt at all and might even be a jolly good thing. J.K. Rowling Two and a half years after Britain voted to leave the European Union, the political debate over Brexit seems as intense and as complicated as ever. Who and what can we trust? And how on earth do we make sense of it all? Ivan Rogers, the UKs former ambassador to the EU, is uniquely placed to tell some home truths about the failure of the British political class and the flaws, dishonesty and confusion inherent in the UKs approach to Brexit so far. In this short, elegant essay, Rogers draws up nine lessons that we, as a soon-to-be `third country, need to learn from the last few years, if the next few years indeed the next decade are not to be even more painful.

Tänu UL-seeria nutikale disainile saab valgust lihtsalt kohandada vastavalt loomingulisele vajadusele – alates pehmest ja ühtlasest valgustusest kuni kontrastsete kontuuride ja rõhutatud detailideni. Täpselt vormitud valgus UL-seeria eripäraks on servamask (edge mask), mis blokeerib softboxi keskosa ja laseb valgusel väljuda äärtest. See loob teravad kontuurid ja puhtad helgipunktid, mis on eriti hinnatud toote- ja moefotograafias ning reklaamfotodes. Kiire ja lihtne seadistamine Tänu vihmavarju-tüüpi kiirkinnitusmehhanismile saab softboxi avada ja kokku panna vaid mõne sekundiga. Küljel olev tõmblukk võimaldab kasutada softboxi ilma hajuteid eemaldamata, mis teeb töövoo eriti kiireks nii stuudios kui ka võttel. Kompaktne ja mobiilne Godox UL-BOX-Octa-150 on kerge, kokkupandav ja kompaktne, mistõttu sobib suurepäraselt ka liikuvaks tööks – olgu selleks pulmafotograafia, editorial-võtted või portreed asukohal.
