Sinopse

What is it like to run for election? How do public representatives deal with the cut-throat competition from their rivals – and their own running mates? What's the Dáil bar really like? And how, given the demands of the 24-hour news cycle, does any meaningful work get done?
Political correspondent Gavan Reilly turns his keen analytical eye to the machinations of Leinster House. With unprecedented access to political insiders, Gavan offers us a seat at the cabinet table exposing how Irish politics really works.

    The Genius of Home - Teaching...

    To educate means to draw forth (Latin, educare: to lead, to bring up); the teacher must draw forth, but, also, must meet the new individual at her or his own level. But what does the teacher draw forth from the child? Is the teacher like the sun that draws forth the plants? Children do grow up, but at the same time, they come down. What if one is teaching one's own children? 
    There are as many possible approaches to teaching children at home, that is, "homeschooling", as there are homes and families who choose to take up this individualized approach to education. Catherine Read chose to model her School-at-Home on the curriculum used in Waldorf schools. 
    This book is the story of her journey as the primary teacher of her two daughters through the Waldorf curriculum from early childhood through high school grade eleven: what she did, when she did it, and why. 
    Along the way, this flexible, artistic, challenging, and ultimately rewarding approach to education comes into focus. Inspiring and instructional, the account of her years as both parent and teacher will be a boon to anyone thinking of founding their own School-at-Home.

    This book is the first comprehensive overview of Javanese performing arts from their origins to their dynamic present. Renowned scholar and musician Sumarsam draws from a lifetime of immersion in both wayang and gamelan to guide readers through the concept of the "in-between," revealing how the interplay of dualisms—myth and history, sacred and secular, personal and cultural—forms the bedrock of Javanese performance. Rigorously researched historical case studies reveal the intricate relationship between histories and mythologies in Java. Wayang, accompanied by gamelan, is a multimedia performance imbued with rich historical, aesthetic, religious, and emotional associations. Sumarsam delves into this intricate, profound, and ever-evolving art form, exploring its diverse manifestations and venues, from courtly village entertainment-cum-ritual to palace-based aesthetic expressions of cultural proficiency; from coastal mercantile entrepots to the verdant wet rice terraces of Java; from colonial plantation and textile factory cultures to communities centered around contemporary industrial estates and creative economy initiatives. An essential resource for scholars, musicians, and enthusiasts of wayang and gamelan, The In-Between in Javanese Performing Arts offers an unparalleled immersion into the heart of traditional Javanese performing arts, revealing their profound impact on Javanese culture, identity, and artistic expression.

    When it’s your first time, may as well go all in. 
      
    For Becky and Laura, it only took one night of sharing a college dorm. The habit of sleeping in the buff proves too tempting, and Becky is treated to her very first climax via the talented lips of her new roommate. 
      
    But a little feminine playing around doesn’t mean that women are the only thing they want. 
      
    A new opportunity comes in the form of an invitation to a notoriously kinky frat party. 
      
    What began as a simple retelling of Becky and Laura’s first time together turns into a full-on reenactment — with spectator involvement. 
      
    Will Becky allow her innocence to be taken as everyone watches?

    Rediscovering Republicanism -...

    When well-designed institutions function properly, people thrive. Few institutions have been more ingeniously designed than the U.S. federal government via the Constitution in 1787. This auspicious beginning more than two centuries ago helps explain why the U.S. remains a magnet for opportunity seekers, students, entrepreneurs, dissidents, and persecuted believers.Yet for decades now, America’s federal government has been underperforming. Social Security and Medicare face looming insolvency. The federal government’s “war on poverty” has failed to “end poverty” and arguably made it worse. In 2012, the United States Postal Service lost more money than the nation spent on the State Department, and Amtrak has lost money every year since being created in 1971. How can an enduring institution, so thoughtfully crafted, now produce such poor results?The federal government has grown so much because it serves a new and different vision, American Progressivism. American Progressives believed that democratically elected, public-minded federal politicians and employees could use federal programs to solve the nation’s greatest problems in a way no other American institution could. This idea justified the federal government’s massive expansion: today, the federal government runs over 1,500 programs and employs over 5% of the U.S. workforce.Yet federal results do not match Progressive expectations. Three key problems – “windfall politics”, “the government surcharge”, and “complexity failure” – overlooked by American Progressives explain the federal government’s consistent failures. American Progressive’s rosy-eyed view of human nature and political institutions have not been borne out by the evidence.In an era of substantial political fermentation and debate, rediscovering and re-applying American Republicanism represents the best path forward for the United States. The federal government should retain many necessary responsibilities but turn over those where it has failed.
