  I'm Not Your Muse - Uncovering...

  An illuminating exploration of 31 incredible women—across art, architecture, dance, literature, and more—whose culture-defining contributions have, until now, been overshadowed by their role as "muses" to history's better-known men.  What does it mean to be someone's "muse"? Historically, to be called a “muse” among artistic circles has been marketed as a flattering title. It is a commendation that most often refers to a woman whose vivacity and beauty are the source of inspiration for a (usually) male artist or creator. Perhaps her inspiring presence is even credited in the story of his success. But the very concept of a muse underestimates these women and their abilities. At its root, muse is a support role, the title a consolation prize that claims to recognize a woman’s greatness—but only in her support of another.I'm Not Your Muse reclaims the narrative of 31 of these extraordinary women, from "The Mother of the Movies" Alice Guy-Blaché to Modernist designer Eileen Gray, prima ballerina Maria Tallchief, storied Harlem Renaissance editor Jessie Redmon Fauset, and many more. Each of these women advanced the narrative of culture and society, pushing the boundaries of visual arts, dance and movement, commercial architecture, music, journalism, and the performing arts. Whether by historical accident or cruel design, their contributions have historically been overshadowed by those of their male counterparts, and often collaborators. In this briskly written, incisively researched compendium, author and researcher Lori Zimmer repositions these women as the main characters of their own lives. Each profile is accented with original illustrations—including jaunty portraits in playfully constructed frames—by artist Maria Krasinski. Together, they highlight the contemporary accomplishments and historical legacies of a wide-ranging group of revolutionary women. Featured women include:  Louise Blanchard Bethune  Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore  Minnette de Silva  Clara Driscoll  Jessie Redmon Fauset  Loie Fuller  Martha Gellhorn    Eileen Gray  Belle da Costa Greene  Alice Guy-Blaché  Miss La La  Edmonia Lewis  Neysa McMein  Hildreth Meière  Lucia Moholy  May and Jane Morris    Na Hye-Sŏk  Fernande Olivier  Pan Yuliang    Ethel Reed    Clara Rockmore    Ada Bricktop Smith  Maria Tallchief  Alice B. Toklas  Suzanne Valadon    Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven  Leonora Carrington  Remedios Varo  Kati Horna

  Internet Governance - Policies...

  Internet governance refers to the development and application of rules, policies, and practices that shape the evolution and use of the internet. It involves multiple stakeholders, including governments, private sector entities, civil society organizations, and technical communities. As the internet has grown from an academic experiment to a global infrastructure, the need for effective governance has become increasingly crucial. The way the internet is managed impacts digital rights, economic development, and global security, making governance a central issue in today’s interconnected world. 
  The origins of internet governance can be traced back to the early days of the internet, when management was primarily handled by academic and research institutions. Over time, as commercial interests and governmental involvement increased, governance structures evolved to accommodate new challenges. Organizations like the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) were established to facilitate discussions on technical coordination, policy-making, and regulation. The involvement of international bodies such as the United Nations further highlights the growing importance of internet governance in global affairs. 
  A fundamental aspect of internet governance is the balance between different stakeholder interests. Governments seek to regulate the internet to ensure national security, protect citizens' rights, and maintain economic stability. Meanwhile, private companies advocate for minimal regulation to encourage innovation and market growth. Civil society organizations focus on issues such as privacy, digital rights, and access to information. This multistakeholder model aims to create a collaborative and inclusive approach to governance, but it also presents challenges in reaching consensus on key issues.

  The first major book on the uprisings in Iran in 2022 and 2023 
   
  On Tuesday 13 September 2022, all Mahsa Amini has planned is a day shopping in Tehran. Her birthday is next week. But she is arrested as she comes out of the subway – the Guidance Patrol deem her hijab inadequate. On Friday she is pronounced dead. By Sunday, women have taken to the streets across Iran, setting their headscarves on fire and cursing the Supreme Leader. Months later, workers down their tools and businesses close. The battle-cry everywhere: Women, Life, Freedom. 
   
  This isn’t a passing protest wave; something has changed irrevocably. Arash Azizi guides us through Iran ablaze, history being made in real time. From an International Women’s Day celebrated inside Iran’s most notorious prison to mass strikes in Kurdistan, ordinary Iranians are taking risks to fight for a better future.  
   
  Even as the regime spills blood in retaliation, Iranians have not given up. Today one thing’s clear: no Supreme Leader can turn the clock back. A different Iran is within sight; Azizi shows us what it might look like.

  Do you know How to Talk to Anyone? Do you want to know How to Talk to Anyone? 
  It doesn’t have to be someone important who is speaking to us to make us feel important…or not. Even the person sitting next to us on the bus has the ability to make us feel significant, or, like we don’t matter at all. Regardless of how we may try to wiggle around it, while the ultimate goal of your communication may be to inform or express, you are never going to succeed at doing so if the person you are talking to feels you have no value for him or her. 
  Every (good) speaker knows that the best delivery is one that makes each person in the audience feel every word was just for him or her. 
  In the art of effective conversation as well as public speaking, it is imperative to take an interest in the person or persons you are talking to. 
  Know what they like and what they don’t like. 
  Learn what interests them. 
  When you are uptight about speaking, be it publicly or privately, people sense your fear. While you work on getting over your anxiety of talking through measures taken in this book, you can fake it until you make it. Just pretending that you are not so nervous will help relax the person or persons you are speaking to and it might calm you as well. 
  Are you excited? Look no more!
