  A moving and illuminating memoir about a singular woman's relationship with a fascinating and complex countryA fresh, nuanced perspective on a profoundly perplexing country: this is what Wallis Wilde-Menozzi's unique, captivating narrative promises—and delivers.The Other Side of the Tiber brings Italy to life in an entirely new way, treating the peninsula as a series of distinct places, subjects, histories, and geographies bound together by a shared sense of life. A multifaceted image of Italy emerges—in beautiful black-and-white photographs, many taken by Wilde-Menozzi herself—as does a portrait of the author. Wilde-Menozzi, who has written about Italy for nearly forty years, offers unexpected conclusions about one of the most complex and best-loved countries in the world.     Beginning her story with a hitchhiking trip to Rome when she was a student in England, she illuminates a passionate, creative, and vocal people who are often confined to stereotypes. Earthquakes and volcanoes; a hundred-year-old man; Siena as a walled city; Keats in Rome; the refugee camp of Manduria; the Slow Food movement; realism in Caravaggio; the concept of good and evil; Mary the Madonna as a subject—from these varied angles, Wilde-Menozzi traces a society skeptical about competition and tolerant of contradiction. Bringing them together in the present, she suggests the compensations of the Italians' long view of time. Like the country, this book will inspire discussion and revisiting.

  Ahhh, the modern workplace: a cauldron of stress and anxiety. From the moment we accept a new role, we’re thrown into a world of competing personalities, shifting protocols, and an endless stream of emails, Slack messages, and Zoom calls, all of which serve to distract us from the things we truly want to be doing, like eating Thai food and sleeping until noon. 
  I Hope This Email Finds You Never puts aside the motivational screeds, productivity hacks, and pop-science, and focuses instead on those things in the workplace that truly cause us grief—like a coworker eating an apple during a video call—in a lighthearted, entertaining, and (most importantly) cynical way. 
  Some things you’ll learn:How long you can get away with being “new” until you’re held accountableHow to make it look like you’re sorry without giving up any powerHow to find a workplace friend and make a workplace enemyCamera position: how to set up your laptop for maximum dominanceOrganizing your calendar while leaving time to cryThe rules of the kitchen (stealing someone’s yogurt is literally a crime)Writing a letter of resignation when you’ve already been resigned from day one 
    
  From Orientation (The Descent), Workplace Etiquette (No Eye Contact Before 11 AM), Working Remotely (Wink Wink), Coworkers (Getting Along with your fellow inmates), and everything in between, I Hope This Email Finds You Never is your must-have guide to surviving (thriving is not realistic) in the modern workplace.

  Cat Training Mastery - The...

  Cats are mysterious, graceful creatures that have shared our homes and hearts for thousands of years. Yet, despite their close proximity, they often remain enigmatic to many of their human companions. Understanding your cat is not just about knowing their habits—it's about connecting with them on a deeper level by interpreting their unique personalities, behaviors, and subtle communication cues. 
  At first glance, a cat might seem aloof or independent, especially when compared to dogs. But this perceived distance is often misunderstood. Cats are incredibly social in their own way—they simply express affection, trust, and interest differently. For example, a cat that follows you from room to room, gently headbutts you, or slowly blinks in your direction is likely showing signs of attachment and comfort. These small behaviors are windows into your cat’s emotional world. 
  Body language is a vital tool in understanding what your cat is trying to communicate. A relaxed posture, with ears pointed forward and tail held high, generally means your cat is content and confident. On the other hand, a puffed-up tail, flattened ears, and dilated pupils may signal fear or overstimulation. Understanding these signs can help you respond to your cat’s needs and create a more harmonious home environment.
