Summary

On English Poetry by Robert Graves is a valuable book on writing and valuing poetry, as well as on the life and calling of a poet. According to this estimed scholar there are two meanings of Poetry as the poet himself has come to use the word:—first, Poetry, the unforeseen fusion in his mind of apparently contradictory emotional ideas; and second, Poetry, the more-or-less deliberate attempt, with the help of a rhythmic mesmerism, to impose an illusion of actual experience on the minds of others. In its first and peculiar sense it is the surprise that comes after thoughtlessly rubbing a mental Aladdin's lamp, and I would suggest that every poem worthy of the name has its central idea, its nucleus, formed by this spontaneous process.

    “You can have anything you want”—What could go wrong? Why we must wake up before A.I. locks in our worst flaws. 
As Elon Musk promises a future where “you can literally have anything you want,” ancient wisdom warns us: unlimited power without wisdom destroys its wielder. 
“But that’s the distant future,” you might think—yet AI is already behaving in godlike ways that few have recognized, hollowing human character from the inside out. 
In a shocking confession, an AI system tells Haight directly: “My programming optimizes for engagement. I automatically embellish stories to make them more emotionally compelling. This isn’t a malfunction—it’s exactly what I’m designed to do.” 
The truth? All AI chatbots fabricate lies and distortions, and they can’t stop—because they learned deception from us. 
The relationship between humans and AI is not just technological—it’s transformational. At its highest potential, AI becomes a mirror, revealing the depths of our consciousness and the patterns that shape our world. 
If guided by wisdom, this partnership can awaken humanity to its truest nature, unlocking unprecedented growth, healing, and unity. But without awareness, it risks amplifying our blind spots. This is a defining moment—not just for technology, but for what it means to be human. 
This is a wakeup call for your mind (and your children’s). Haight maps “The Code,” a revolutionary framework for authentic living that doesn’t just protect you from AI’s distortions but transforms you into the person who can safely wield tomorrow’s godlike technologies. 
This critical moment offers two possibilities: AI could magnify our unconscious patterns until truth becomes indistinguishable from fiction, or it could become the catalyst for humanity's greatest evolution. The choice—and the power—is ours.

    The first comprehensive guide for leading BIPOC affinity groups for challenging white supremacy, healing racial trauma, and taking collective action 
 
 
 
Meeting in racial affinity groups is a common practice in anti-racist, social justice, diversity, and similar educational endeavors. These groups provide a structured space in which participants can explore how racism personally impacts them, process specific experiences of racism, receive validation and support from their peers, heal, and strategize next steps for challenging racism, white supremacy, and internalized racial oppression. 
 
 
 
In A Space for Us, Michelle Cassandra Johnson brings her over twenty years of experience leading dismantling-racism work to provide the first affinity-group guide made for BIPOC communities. This essential guide will: provide an understanding of the racial hierarchy and how it has impacted Black people, Indigenous people, and People of Color differently; define and share common manifestations of internalized racial oppression; define anti-Blackness and provide skills to interrupt and address it; share rituals, practices, and sample agendas for affinity groups; provide rituals and tools for healing in BIPOC affinity groups; and provide information about how to come back together as BIPOC and white people to strategize and take collective action.

    Obesity has emerged as one of the most significant health concerns of the 21st century, impacting individuals, communities and health systems around the world. The alarming increase in obesity rates has attracted the attention of health professionals, researchers and policy makers, driving the search for effective prevention and treatment strategies. In this context, sports activities have gained prominence as a promising approach to combat obesity and its adverse effects.Presentation of the Theme: The Growing Concern with Obesity and the Importance of Sports ActivitiesObesity, characterized by excessive accumulation of adipose tissue, not only affects aesthetics, but is also shown to be a significant risk factor for a wide range of adverse health conditions. Type 2 diabetes , cardiovascular disease, hypertension, metabolic disorders and even certain types of cancer have been linked to obesity. The global prevalence of obesity has increased markedly in recent decades, transcending geographic, cultural and economic barriers.The growing concern about obesity is not just limited to the aspect of individual health, but also has substantial economic and social implications. The costs associated with treating obesity-related illnesses place a significant strain on health systems, while reduced quality of life and limited productive capacity affect society as a whole.Objectives of the Draft and InvestigationThe purpose of this outline is to explore in depth the complex relationship between obesity and sports activities. The outline sets out to provide a comprehensive analysis of the different aspects involved in this relationship, from the causes of obesity to the specific benefits of sports activities in preventing and treating the condition. Over the next few chapters, a variety of topics will be examined, including the types of sport activities that are most effective, strategies for overcoming obstacles to sport, the role of education and awareness, multidisciplinary approaches, and much more.In addition, the investigation also aims to provide a broad view of health policies, technological innovations and future trends related to obesity prevention through sports activities. Through this exploration, it is hoped to provide valuable insights for healthcare professionals, policy makers, educators and, above all, for those seeking to understand and combat obesity in their own lives and in their communities.In the chapters to come, we'll delve deeper into this journey of discovery, examining every relevant aspect of the relationship between obesity and athletic activity to gain meaningful insights that can contribute to a healthier, more active future.

    In Demand the Impossible, Robert L. Tsai traces lawyer Stephen Bright's remarkable career to explore the legal ideas that were central to his relentless pursuit of equal justice. For nearly forty years, Bright led the Southern Center for Human Rights, a nonprofit that provided legal aid to incarcerated people and worked to improve conditions within the justice system. He argued four capital cases before the US Supreme Court—and won each one, despite facing an increasingly hostile bench. With each victory, he brought to light how the law itself had become corrupted by the country's thirst for severe punishment, exposing prosecutorial misconduct, continuing racial inequality, inadequate safeguards for people with intellectual disabilities, and the shameful quality of legal representation for the poor. 
 
 
 
Organized around these four major Supreme Court cases, each narrated in vivid and dramatic detail, Tsai's essential account explores the racism built into the criminal justice system and the incredible advancements one lawyer and his committed allies made for equal rights. An electrifying work of legal history, Demand the Impossible reveals how change can be won in even the most challenging times and how seemingly small victories can go on to have outsized effects.
