The Roesler Franz Family and the Initiatic Path

Francesco Roesler Franz

Sinopse

Ettore Roesler Franz è stato una figura unica e di spicco tra i pittori romani ottocenteschi. Oltre a essere stato a conoscenza dei segreti degli iniziati, la fitta rete di amicizie e conoscenze che aveva con i maggiori esponenti culturali e artistici europei ha reso la sua pittura innovativa e densa di rimandi simbolici. Un artista completo e sensibile, dotato di una grande forza d'animo e una bontà che tanti ricordano. A collegarlo ad artisti come Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, William Blake e Picasso è la massoneria, che come un filo attraversa cinquecento anni di storia dell'arte. E a raccontarci qui la sua intensa storia che si intreccia con quella dell'arte e di tanti uomini di cultura e arte è Francesco Roesler Franz, che con questo saggio ci lascia una testimonianza indimenticabile dell'artista mentre coglie l'occasione per riscoprire le origini della propria famiglia.

Football Mom & Bathroom Whore

Kathrin Pissinger

A story about a young and devious lesbian mistress and her older slaves 
At a football game, I tried to get some distraction and go to the bathroom just to freshen myself up a little bit, when I encounter a young woman there shamelessly sitting on the toilet in plain view. Without a word, something about her was drawing me in and before I knew it, I found myself kneeling on the floor between her legs, pleasing her eagerly with my tongue. 
Even though I tried to do my best, I wasn't sure if it was good enough for my younger mistress, but when I finally got my own reward right then and there, it was more than I had ever expected.

MAX YOUR LEADERSHIP! - Unlock...

Paul Lloyd Hemphill

The Battle of Gettysburg, fought from July 1 to 3, 1863, is the ideal template for recognizing and maximizing your leadership abilities. 
This pivotal event, the most written-about in American history, offers a rich narrative, emotional insights, and complex strategies that make it an unparalleled resource for understanding leadership. 
Here’s why Gettysburg stands out and why citing other historical events for our purpose would be unnecessarily redundant. Perhaps surprisingly, this isn’t a history book. Instead, it’s a powerful guide that harnesses the lessons from a significant historical event to illuminate vital life principles. This book not only enhances your leadership skills but also demonstrates how understanding human nature can turn to your advantage. 
The author offers a groundbreaking approach to history - one that moves beyond mere facts and statistics to use historical insights and challenging questions as a catalyst for your personal growth. In a paraphrase of historian John Toland, he wisely suggests, “History doesn’t repeat itself, human nature does.” 
Embrace this novel perspective and let the lessons from Gettysburg energize your life’s journey.

SURVIVE - Why We Do What We Do

Jerry Pannone

We’re coming to understand that life in this world is that of an extended family, not just from a human perspective, but from all manner and forms of sentient organisms. The purpose of Survive is not to enumerate the processes of every kind of life up the evolutionary tree, from bacteria to humans, but to look for the common denominators on that tree and to explore what motivators of all life forms share with greater emphasis placed on primates in general, but humans in particular throughout the journey of this book. And, although the concept of survival is evident in a biological sense, it expands far beyond simple physical survival for the human being. The questions of psychological, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual survival, as well as the overriding question of identity all play a role. Who is the “me” that is fighting to survive? That is the existential question we struggle consciously or unconsciously to address.

Math-ish - Finding Creativity...

Jo Boaler

From Stanford professor, author of Limitless Mind, youcubed.org founder, and leading expert in the field of mathematics education Jo Boaler comes a groundbreaking guide to finding joy and understanding by adopting a diverse approach to learning math.
“Every once in a while, someone revolutionizes an approach to a difficult subject and changes it forever. That is what Jo Boaler has done for math. Fresh, smart, and inclusive, Jo Boaler's strategy eschews the one-size-fits-a-few approach and instead allows math to be seen and solved by everyone. A huge achievement. Math-ish is the only math book I’ve ever enjoyed reading in my entire life. Honestly.” -Bonnie Garmus, author of Lessons in Chemistry
Mathematics is a fundamental part of life, yet every one of us has a unique relationship with learning and understanding the subject. Working with numbers may inspire confidence in our abilities or provoke anxiety and trepidation. Stanford researcher, mathematics education professor, and the leading expert on math learning Dr. Jo Boaler argues that our differences are the key to unlocking our greatest mathematics potential.
In Math-ish, Boaler shares new neuroscientific research on how embracing the concept of “math-ish”—a theory of mathematics as it exists in the real world—changes the way we think about mathematics, data, and ourselves. When we can see the value of diversity among people and multi-faceted approaches to learning math, we are free to truly flourish. Utilizing the latest research on math education, Jo guides us through seven principles that can radically reframe our relationship with the subject:
• The power of mindset on learning
• Utilizing a visual approach to math
• The impact of physical movement and communication on understanding
• Understanding the value of an ""ish"" perspective - in mathematics and beyond
• The importance of connected and flexible knowledge
• New data on diverse teaching modes that work with different learning styles, not against them
• The value of diversity in learning mathematics—and beyond
When mathematics is approached more broadly, inclusively, and with a greater sense of wonder and play—when we value the different ways people see, approach, and understand it—we empower ourselves and gain a beneficial understanding of its value in our lives.
