In un mondo in cui l''Io tende a predominare e ad imporsi, in un mondo in cui si stanno perdendo i veri valori della vita ed il vero senso del vivere, trovare una donna che esprime amore per tutto ciò che la circonda, una donna a cui un semplice sorriso riempie la vita, è qualcosa di raro e meraviglioso. Questa donna è Maria D''Amico che sa esprimere le sue più profonde emozioni non solo nella pittura, ma anche nelle sue poesie: inviti all''amore, alla scoperta di ogni cosa bella del creato, anche la più piccola, quella che potrebbe sembrare la più insignificante perch é lì è l''essenza della vita, nelle piccole cose che ti fanno sentire unico e grande. La solitudine, uno dei temi trattati in questa raccolta, non riesce mai a far perdere la voglia di vivere perché in realtà non esiste e non può attecchire nell''animo fino a renderlo sterile; nessuno è solo, c''è la natura intorno a noi a farci capire che non siamo soli: "cinguettii mi destano, non sono sola". La forza dell''amore sta nella forza della mente e non deve mai arrendersi. Le poesie di Maria D''Amico, oltre ad essere delle immagini che riescono ad imprimersi nei tuoi occhi, sono un invito alla riflessione e rivolte soprattutto ai giovani, la speranza di un mondo migliore, affinché amino incondizionatamente la vita senza arrendersi di fronte alle prime difficoltà, perché l''uomo è un miracolo e la radiosità della sua luce deve risplendere su tutto e su tutti.

Anna Maria D’Ambrosio dopo il genere lirico e il romanzo si cimenta nel racconto breve, tratteggiando una silloge composita e multiforme in cui sono soprattutto le donne che danno voce al loro vissuto. Quindici storie dal sapore agro, delicate o spietate, tristi e melanconiche. Una contrapposizione di grande impatto figurativo quella tra la voce melodiosa del pettirosso, la sua spavalderia, l’indole battagliera e la struttura narrativa che restituisce il quadro di una bambina che si confronta con il complicato mondo degli adulti, di donne deboli alle prese con una realtà troppo grande per loro, di solitudine, di violenza, di annullamento di se stesse. Ma anche di ricordi cristallizzati, di lutti da elaborare, di scelte da compiere. E di fede nel valore salvifico della scrittura. Un universo immaginifico fosco, a tratti grottesco se non fosse rischiarato dalla dignità che l’autrice conferisce a ogni storia, accompagnando i personaggi verso il loro destino, quasi carezzando le loro anime piagate e facendo della loro sofferenza un canto sospeso tra sogno e realtà. Una dicotomia tra luce e ombra, tra dolore e speranza. Un conflitto intimo che acuisce la consapevolezza di quanto la vita potrebbe offrire. Se solo...

Scritto nelle notti insonni, di un buio periodo della mia vita, senza spiraglio di luce. Per non sprofondare ancora di più scrivevo. La mia mente tornava indietro, ai tempi della spensieratezza. Più scrivevo, più la mia mente si apriva, andando alla ricerca delle emozioni dell’infanzia.

Uno scorcio dell''impresa coloniale italiana viene raccontato nel diario del Tenente Colonnello Salvatore d''Agostino ed in alcune relazioni su fatti d''arme. Nel diario "Dall''alto Dacata all''Uebi Scebeli", una spedizione di ricerca di ribelli partita il 26 luglio e terminata il 20 agosto 1937, si muove nei lontani luoghi persi nell''oblio che copre da sempre l''Africa, incrociando personaggi caratteristici e situazioni che trasformano il viaggio in luoghi remoti in un viaggio in remoto tempo. Le relazioni sui fatti d''arme descrivono i combattimenti coi nuclei ribelli capeggiati da Abebè Aregai, indicando i nominativi degli ufficiali, dei soldati e degli ascari che si sono distinti negli scontri. Il testo, vuole evidenziare, non le ragioni politiche che mossero l''Italia ad avventurasi in Africa, ma le motivazioni che sostennero uomini valorosi, dediti alla Patria ed a caccia sì di avventura e gloria, ma soprattutto spinti ad agire per seguire un''idea legata alla realizzazione incondizionata del proprio dovere.

MARIA D''ANDREA TELLS YOU HOW TO SEE THE FUTURE AND CAST SPELLS WITH AN ORDINARY DECK OF PLAYING CARDS NOW YOU CAN GO BEYOND CARD GAMES OF MERE "CHANCE" AND INTO THE INFINITE! The origin of playing cards is shrouded in the mists of time. Some historians trace them to the ancient Egyptians, others to the Chinese or medieval Italy, still others to the Romany gypsies seen so often in pop culture portrayals of fortune tellers. Wherever they come from, an ordinary deck of 52 playing cards are not mere "playthings" but are instead a mystical link to the great unknown. Anyone can master their use with diligent practice -and being born with supernatural powers is not required! THE CARDS ARE LIKE LIVING ENTITIES! Learn how individual cards are like living entities with personalities and traits all their own. The king of clubs, for example, is humane, upright and affectionate, while the king of diamonds is continually fuming in his stubborn, vengeful wrath. The cards form a cast of characters enacting a drama that can give insight into your future and alert you to dangers you never previously imagined. SATURDAY NIGHT POKER WITH THE BOYS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME But one doesn''t have to passively accept the fortune meted out by the seemingly "random" way the cards fall. Read Maria D''Andrea''s spells involving the use of playing cards. She explains how the careful laying out of ordinary cards, when combined with the use of candles, incense and the recitation of ritual words, can make the "higher powers" do your bidding. You are in control of your future with Maria''s methods and are not subject to the whims of unseen forces working through artful pieces of cardboard. This is a golden opportunity to gaze and control the future - from a perspective of self-determination - that you can''t afford to miss! After reading this book you will think of playing cards in a totally different way every time you go to shuffle a deck. Saturday night poker with the "boys" will soon take on a variable meaning.

Increase in the number of English language learners enrolling in American schools continue to rise while debates over the best way to educate these students are ongoing and unresolved. Critics of bilingual education, the program established to assist English language learners become proficient in English, argue that the program does not expose ELLs to enough English to become proficient quickly. As a result of this arguments three states, California, Massachusetts, and Arizona, have dismantled bilingual education from their districts and are now enrolling students in English immersion programs. Supporters of bilingual education argue that English language learners will be more academically proficient if allowed to learn critical content in their native language while learning English. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to investigate the educators'' views and perceptions of the effectiveness of bilingual education. Sixteen educators from an urban school district in Texas currently working with ELLs were asked to participate in the study. Data collected included taped interviews and participant responses, classroom observations, and artifacts. The artifacts included classroom and curriculum materials, student work, student projects and technology. The study examined the experiences, knowledge, and perception of the participating educators involved in bilingual programs in order to identify its strengths and weaknesses. The study aimed to provide useful information that can assist policy makers, school districts, parents, and teachers make clearer, sounder decisions. Findings indicate that teacher participants value bilingual education as a program that effectively promotes students'' learning of critical content skills while becoming proficient in English. Teacher participants'' knowledge and understanding of bilingual education correlate with existing literature that students in bilingual education take approximately 5 to 7 years to become proficient in English and that they perform extremely well in state required tests.

This review focuses on exploring the evolution of the notion of the unconscious mind and on deriving, from contemporary psychological and neuroscientific research, a more precise, updated definition of the concept. This work also examines the use of hypnotic approaches, their neuro physiological impact, and the implications of this impact for treatment and for studying diverse brain mechanisms. Finally, it applies to hypnosis Cappas et al''s (2005) seven principles of neuroscience, which are based on Kandel''s views of the structure and functioning of the brain. A systematic examination of articles and books included in this review was based upon computer databases and manual research from Psycho-INFO, PsychArticles, Psychology and Behavioral Science, PsychoBooks and Google Library. It is concluded from the review that evolutionary biology and neuroscience suggest that an important part of human behavior is generated and guided within the domain of unconscious mental processes that may generate neuroplasticity of the brain. Implications for hypnosis as an adjunct to psychotherapy that may affect behavior on a neurobiological level and the use of a new hypnotic method to access the unconscious mind are discussed.

"School libraries are on a drastic decline which are leading teachers to create their own classroom libraries. Classroom libraries provide a way for students to read, have a sense of belonging, and learn about others - but only if the books within the library are diversely appropriate. This cross-sectional design study entailed a survey where teacher participants responded to questions on their demographics, classroom library books, and classroom library environment. A total of three teacher participants were surveyed in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. The findings from the study provided that teachers were using appropriate books, but these books did not include a lot of diverse topics. Diverse book topics would include LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) literature, BIPOC (Black, Indigineous, and People of Color), disabilities, inclusion, friendship, and families. The results suggest the need for additional implications for teachers to be aware of the importance of diverse books." -- Author description.
