On an epic voyage far beyond the Republic, the Jedi will confront their most extraordinary enemy--and test the limits of honor and sacrifice against their most devastating challenge. . . . The Clone Wars have yet to erupt when Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth petitions the Senate for support of a singularly ambitious undertaking: the dream of Outbound Flight. Six Jedi Masters, twelve Jedi Knights, and fifty thousand men, women, and children will embark-aboard a gargantuan vessel, equipped for years of travel-on a mission to contact intelligent life and colonize undiscovered worlds beyond the known galaxy. Unknown to the famed Jedi Master, the successful launch of the mission is secretly being orchestrated by an unlikely ally: the evil Sith Lord, Darth Sidious, who has his own reasons for wanting Outbound Flight to move forward. Yet Darth Sidious is not the mission's most dangerous challenge. Once underway, the starship crosses paths at the edge of Unknown Space with the forces of the alien Chiss Ascendancy and a brilliant mastermind named Thrawn. Even Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, aboard Outbound Flight with his young Padawan student, Anakin Skywalker, cannot help avert disaster. Thus what begins as a peaceful Jedi mission is violently transformed into an all-out war for survival against staggering odds-and the most diabolical of adversaries.

Forces OUTSIDE You Can't Stop the God WITHIN You It's easy to feel overwhelmed and limited by the demands on your life as a mom. Your heart's cry is for God to use you, but at the end of the day, you don't have much left to give. But what if the limits on your life could be overcome through the power of the Holy Spirit? With humor, vulnerability, and stories of her own limited life as a mom of five--two of whom struggle with severe autism--pastor and podcaster Jessica Hurlbut ignites hope in the hearts of overwhelmed moms to believe that God has more. Revealing 12 limits that hinder mothers--very real things like exhaustion, distractions, and disillusionment--Jessica empowers you to respond in obedience rather than react in emotions.

No matter your circumstances, God sees you, knows you, and has more for your life--even amid the crazy season of motherhood. "Unlimited Motherhood is a companion gently and humorously pointing us back to the heart of God, which can so easily be forgotten."--TORI HOPE PETERSEN, bestselling author of Fostered Autorid: Jessica Hurlbut

Zeit - das große RätselDie Zeit zählt zu den großen Rätseln der Zivilisationsgeschichte, ihre Definitionen sind zahlreich und finden sich in den unterschiedlichsten Disziplinen, von der Religion über die Biologie bis hin zur Ökonomie, zuvorderst natürlich in der Physik und als traditionsreiches Sujet in der Kunst. Überraschend ist, dass in der Uhrennation Schweiz die Zeit bisher nur von wenigen Kunstmuseen zum Gegenstand einer epochenübergreifend und transdisziplinär angelegten Ausstellung gemacht worden ist. Der sinnliche Zugriff des Kunsthaus Zürich, kuratiert von Cathérine Hug, durchmisst die Geschichte der Zeit, wobei er Gemälde, Filme, Installationen, Performances und Realien (insbesondere Uhren) aus den letzten 600 Jahren präsentiert. Und auch wenn die Uhr als Zeitmesser am Ausgangspunkt steht, werden neben der physikalischen auch temporale Perspektiven wie die biologische, paläontologische oder auch die der persönlichen Empfindungen einer eingehend Untersuchung unterzogen. U. a. mit Werken von Sinzo Aanza, Giacomo Balla, Black Qantum Futurism, Manon de Boer & George van Dam, Abraham-Louis Breguet, Pieter Claesz, Honoré Daumier, Jean Dubuffet, William Hogarth, Roni Horn, Monica Ursina Jäger, On Kawara, Herlinde Koelbl, Alicja Kwade, MANON, Jonathan Monk, Sophie Nys, Dieter Roth, Cyril Schäublin, Una Szeemann.Ausstellung: Kunsthaus Zürich, 22/9/2023 - 14/1/2024

GYM. TAN. MERMAN. Welcome to the Jersey Shore, where the men are hot, the sun is sizzling, and the boardwalk's seen it all...until now.After years of living on the Shore, Hannah Bell is sure two things are true: 1. The family B&B is her future.2. Men like Xander--mysterious, charming, and un-freaking-believably gorgeous--do not just wash up like some kind of sexy flotsam.But when Xander appears mostly-naked and half-conscious in the surf, Hannah does what any sane, kind-hearted woman would do: hauls him into her bed. Her bed and breakfast, that is. It's only polite. But her one act of seaside charity goes sideways fast when her new perennially topless "guest" starts fixing leaky faucets with a wink, charming her with fishy dad jokes, and casually revealing that--oh yeah--he's a freakin' merman.Not only that, but he's the merman who rescued her a decade ago and then ghosted her like an enchanted Tinder date gone wrong. Rude.As Hannah reels from revelations and Xander tries to stay one step ahead of the secrets lurking beneath the tide, they'll need to figure out if their surfside chemistry is just a summer fling... or the start of something truly fin-tastic.
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Nest and Good Company comes a wry and tender portrait of two families forever changed by one lovestruck decision that will reverberate for decades.It’s 1977 and an air of restlessness has settled on the residents of Cambridge Road in Rochester, New York, a place long fueled by the booming fortunes of Kodak and Xerox and, for some, the mores of the Catholic church. When Nina Larkin is given a copy of The Joy of Sex by her newly divorced friend, she can no longer dismiss the nearly nonexistent intimacy of her marriage. Just as her oldest child, Clara, is falling in love for the first time, Nina finds herself longing for the forbidden: a midlife awakening. An intoxicating fling with a prominent neighbor brings Nina a freedom she never thought possible—but also risks the reputations of both families and unravels Clara’s world, just as she stands on the threshold of adulthood.Years later, Clara, now a successful food stylist in New York City, has never been able to move past the long-ago scandal. Drawn back home by the pull of a family wedding and wrestling with her own demons, she makes a pivotal decision that turns her life upside down. Written with Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney’s signature humor and insight, Lake Effect is a wise and probing look at love and desire, mothers and daughters, loss and grief, and what we owe the people we love most.
The role of robots in society keeps expanding and diversifying, bringing with it a host of issues surrounding the relationship between robots and humans. This introduction to human–robot interaction (HRI) by leading researchers in this developing field is the first to provide a broad overview of the multidisciplinary topics central to modern HRI research. Written for students and researchers from robotics, artificial intelligence, psychology, sociology, and design, it presents the basics of how robots work, how to design them, and how to evaluate their performance. Self-contained chapters discuss a wide range of topics, including speech and language, nonverbal communication, and processing emotions, plus an array of applications and the ethical issues surrounding them. This revised and expanded second edition includes a new chapter on how people perceive robots, coverage of recent developments in robotic hardware, software, and artificial intelligence, and exercises for readers to test their knowledge.
