Sinopsis

We begin with a drive to write something that's never been said before, to protest, to offload, to challenge or catch the zeitgeist. We imagine we write like the poets we admire. Slowly we learn the craft, understanding eventually that a writer is indentured for life.
Drawing on decades of experience as a poet and tutor, this compelling book is part hands-on guide and part reflection on ways that poetry can make a difference to how we live. It is also a survey of many varied and inspirational writers, especially women poets from the end of the 20th century.
The final section of this unique book offers starting points and resources that will prove essential for new and experienced poets alike. Jackie Wills is herself one of our most genuine and brilliantly insightful poets; and, as the sections on writing workshops show, she has helped people of all ages find their way into poetry.

    Why is the internet so broken, and what could ever possibly fix it? 
     
     
     
    In Internet for the People, leading tech writer Ben Tarnoff offers an answer. The internet is broken, he argues, because it is owned by private firms and run for profit. Google annihilates your privacy and Facebook amplifies right-wing propaganda because it is profitable to do so. But the internet wasn't always like this. Tarnoff tells the story of the privatization that made the modern internet, and which set in motion the crises that consume it today. 
     
     
     
    The solution to those crises is straightforward: deprivatize the internet. Deprivatization aims at creating an internet where people, and not profit, rule. It calls for shrinking the space of the market and diminishing the power of the profit motive. It calls for abolishing the walled gardens of Google, Facebook, and the other giants that dominate our digital lives and developing publicly and cooperatively owned alternatives that encode real democratic control. To build a better internet, we need to change how it is owned and organized. Otherwise, a small number of executives and investors will continue to make choices on everyone's behalf, and these choices will remain tightly bound by the demands of the market. It's time to demand an internet by, and for, the people now.

First published in 1939, this concise yet profound book explores the transformative power of imagination and belief in shaping one's reality.Goddard's central thesis is the idea that individuals have the inherent power to manifest their desires through focused intention and unwavering belief. He posits that the human imagination is a divine tool that can bring about tangible changes in the external world. By aligning one's thoughts and feelings with the desired outcome, Goddard asserts that anyone can command the circumstances of their life.The book is structured around key principles of manifestation, including:Assumption: The belief that assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled is crucial to manifesting it in reality.Imagination: The power of vivid, detailed visualization in creating desired outcomes.Faith: An unwavering belief in the realization of one's desires, irrespective of current circumstances.Goddard employs a straightforward and direct style, making complex metaphysical concepts accessible to readers. He emphasizes practical application, encouraging readers to experiment with the principles to witness their effectiveness firsthand.At Your Command is not just a theoretical treatise but a practical guide that empowers readers to take control of their lives. Its timeless wisdom continues to resonate, offering a path to personal transformation and fulfillment through the conscious use of imagination and belief.This book remains a significant work for those interested in the law of attraction, self-improvement, and the exploration of human potential. Through Goddard's teachings, readers can discover the profound impact of their inner world on their external reality.

    Socialized Medicine

    In 1961 Reagan spoke out against socialized medicine. Since 1965 when Medicare and Medicaid were enacted, the federal government controls payment for most U.S. healthcare: hospitals, drugs, doctors, nurses, and so on. Has this been a blessing or a curse? 
    Milton Friedman, the small, talkative, smiling genius, perhaps the best economist ever, argued that governments should give the deserving needy money to buy education, housing, and healthcare, but should never give goods or services such as govenment schools, government housing, or medical services. 
    Would this small change make a big difference? Prior to 1965, U.S. health insurance was medically underwritten. When a person applied for insurance, they were weighed and tested to see how healthy they were. If they were unhealthy, premiums were high, and coverage limited. 
    The result was that people had powerful financial incentives to adopt a healthy diet and lifestyle. Under Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare, medical underwriting is illegal and the financial incentive for a healthy diet is eliminated. Epidemics of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and chronic disease since 1965 are the result. And the cost of medical services without market competition has exploded. 
    If the elderly and needy were paid in cash rather than medical services, and purchased medical services in competitive, risk-based markets, people would have strong incentive to adopt fiber-based diets of vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds, and whole grains, and avoid animal foods and low-fiber processed foods that promote chronic disease. 
    The left blames the food industry for our poor diet, but the federal government’s control of medical services and abolition of medical underwriting are the true causes of the obesity and diabetes crisis that afflicts America, and the reason healthcare is so amazingly expensive. Competitive markets would benefit the elderly, the needy, and the country.
