1 Person Reviewed This Product
Oct 15, 2009"Hypnosis and Life's Illusions" Hypnosis is mind candy and a cerebral adventure. I resented having to sleep and go to work before I could finish it. I rooted for Gordon, the protagonist, as he awakened through being put to sleep. Compliments to Lucas Hyde for this well-written book. The grammar and plotting are superb. Just when I thought I knew where the plot was going, it would make a "U" turn. There are quite a few characters in the book which can sometimes make the storyline difficult to follow. Not so with Hypnosis. The characters are so skillfully brought into the story that the reader has time to become properly acquainted and remember their names before another says "Hello." I highly recommend this book as a mesmerizing good read and as a roadmap to the workings of the human mind.

Give them up
Jeff Powell
Last updated at 00:00 25 April 2000
The Londoner, who is the only heavyweight champion at the moment, defends two of his belts against giant American prospect Michael Grant here on Saturday night.
But there are those in his camp who favour him letting the WBC and IBF crowns go the way of the WBA title, of which he was stripped by a New York court recently.
Emanuel Steward, the master trainer from Detroit's fabled Kronk gym, is among those coming to believe that the Alphabet organisations have lost so much credibility that Lewis might be better going his own way and fighting as a people's champion.
With the leading officials of the IBF under trial for rigging their rankings, some of Team Lewis believe that it is no longer worthwhile trying to accommodate mandatory defences of the three main titles against little-known challengers who bring nothing to the box office.
The case for defection is being strengthened by attempts to produce truly independent world rankings. In common with a group of other sportswriters around the world who cover the big fights, I have been asked to join an internet panel which would compile non-commercial ratings for all weight divisions on a monthly basis. That would give Lewis and the rest of the champions a more credible No 1 contender to meet.
Also, U. S. A. Today, America's national paper, is compiling its own rankings based on the opinions of its staff and some key figures in the fight game.
Steward said: 'Many people are wondering whether there isn't a better way to run this game than having so many different sanctioning bodies conflicting with each other.' It is the commercial factor, however, which would determine whether it is worthwhile Lewis walking away from the traditional titles.
The first Briton for 100 years to hold the undisputed heavyweight championship has come down from his mountain training camp to crank up the hard sell of Madison Square Garden tickets and pay-per-view TV subscriptions.
Lewis trained in public at boxing's Mecca yesterday in an attempt to generate interest for Saturday night's fight.
The harsh reality is that without Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield, there are hardly any opponents who would excite public attention without a recognisable world title being at stake.

Bezos selected the name Amazon by looking through the dictionary; he settled on "Amazon" because it was a place that was "exotic and different", just as he had envisioned for his Internet enterprise. The Amazon River, he noted, was the biggest river in the world, and he planned to make his store the biggest bookstore in the world.[25] Additionally, a name that began with "A" was preferential due to the probability it would occur at the top of an alphabetized list.[25] Bezos placed a premium on his head start in building a brand and told a reporter, "There's nothing about our model that can't be copied over time. But you know, McDonald's got copied. And it's still built a huge, multibillion-dollar company. A lot of it comes down to the brand name. Brand names are more important online than they are in the physical world."[26]

Amazon.com, Inc., doing business as Amazon (/ˈæməˌzɒn/), is an American electronic commerce and cloud computing company based in Seattle, Washington, that was founded by Jeff Bezos on July 5, 1994. The tech giant is the largest Internet retailer in the world as measured by revenue and market capitalization, and second largest after Alibaba Group in terms of total sales.[5] The Amazon.com website started as an online bookstore and later diversified to sell video downloads/streaming, MP3 downloads/streaming, audiobook downloads/streaming, software, video games, electronics, apparel, furniture, food, toys, and jewelry. The company also owns a publishing arm, Amazon Publishing, a film and television studio, Amazon Studios, produces consumer electronics lines including Kindle e-readers, Fire tablets, Fire TV, and Echo devices, and is the world's largest provider of cloud infrastructure services (IaaS and PaaS) through its AWS subsidiary.[6] Amazon also sells certain low-end products under its in-house brand AmazonBasics.
As part of their Deal of the Day, Zojirushi is offering great prices on some of their best products, including the best travel mug we've ever tested. We loved this mug because it literally keeps your drink warm all day long, easily fits into a cup holder, and comes in a few stylish colors. Right now, you can get it Smoky Blue for the lowest price we've ever seen and Slate Gray for just a few dollars more. It's the perfect container to make that switch to hot coffee and save a few bucks (and the environment!) by not going to a coffee shop each day.
Free Shipping - While it has not yet made the announcement, I expect Best Buy to offer free standard shipping on all orders for the duration of the holiday season. As mentioned above, Amazon forces non-Prime members to spend at least $25 before being eligible for free shipping. If you are not a Prime member or are unable to sign up for a free 30-day Prime trial, then you should shop at Best Buy for small orders under $25.

Admit it! At one point or the other you have wondered how Jumia does it. Does what? How Jumia manages to cater to its vast number of customers nationwide and still maintain a good level of satisfaction among them. The recently concluded Jumia Mobile Week Megathon which saw an unprecedented number of phones sold within one short week adds some more mystery as to how Jumia is able to deliver all these phones to all these customers within the limits of the specified delivery timeline. Most other online retail stores would admit that they are better off trying to fit an elephant through the hole of a needle than trying to measure up to such level of service delivery.
Although the underlying knowledge of how Jumia coordinates its operations can only be truly known by those who patrol its corporate corridors, the layman's knowledge is pretty much easy to decipher; Jumia puts its customer first. From customer service team, always eager to hear from you and happy to help, to the dispatch unit who will climb the highest mountains and cross the deepest rivers to ensure your order is delivered on time, what we have here is a winning formulae. It is little wonder that Jumia has an unmatched percentage of returning customers who keep coming back to have another bite at the cherry.
Co-Managing Director Jumia Nigeria, Jonathan Doerr, stated, 'At Jumia, you will find that we have a lot of motivational quotes hung up all over our walls. I believe I speak on behalf of every Jumian when I say there is no quote we hold dearer than 'Always deliver more than expected' as said by Larry Page, Co-Founder of Google'. The Jumia Customer Service unit as such now runs a 24/7 service where help can be gotten via 07006000000, service@jumia.
As most happy customers would tell you, shopping on Jumia is a concept best experienced than explained. The convenience is a joy best felt than figured. Visit www.jumia.com.ng and start shopping for all your desirables today.

Gifu Castle standing on the Mt.Kinka provides visitors with nice panoramic views day and night. They can also enjoy watching a traditional unique event Cormorant Fishing on the Nagara River while eating dinner in a viewing boat. Sir Charlie Chaplin visited Gifu twice to enjoy this event. Besides, a photogenic street Kawara-machi and the Great Buddha statue in Shoboji-temple move you so much.
Feel free to personalize this offer with TETSUJI.
Gifu city developed as a castle town during the wartime era in the 16th century. A great warlord, Oda Nobunaga, established this city. The GIFU CASTLE stands on the top of Mt. Kinka and you can easily go there by riding the gondola-lift. From the castle, you can enjoy an excellent view of the city between the Nagara and Kiso rivers. Even though many parts of the center of the city were destroyed by bombing during WWⅡ, a few traditional castle-town areas with temples and shrines still remain at the foot of Mt.Kinka. Walking into this area might make you feel like time slipped to the Edo period. A Matcha-tea break will give you a good chance to know Japanese culture.
On the other hand, the area between Gifu Station and the Yanagase district is a modernized commercial zone filled with many fancy shops and restaurants. Therefore, you can visit not only urban Japan but also pre-modern traditional Japan in only one day.
From May 11th to October 15th, why not enjoy cormorant fishing known as Ukai on the Nagara River at night. Cormorant fishing is a traditional fishing style that started over 1300 years ago. You can enjoy eating and drinking on a viewing-boat on the river and see how the fishing-masters manipulate birds to catch sweetfish, Ayu. The ephemeral performance by the fishermen and birds will give you a small glimpse of the old days. If you want to know more about cormorant fishing, you should visit the Nagara River Ukai Museum. This museum is the only one of its kind and features exhibits on everything relating to cormorant fishing.
A night castle tour by lift is another option for your night out on the tour. The panorama view from the castle balcony is unforgettable.

|Very Good
We had a very enjoyable 4 hours of hiking in the valley and woods between Magome and Tsumago, or what is known as the Nakasendo trail, with Tetsuji-San. Since the planning stage, Tetsuji answered every question that we had and he suggested route and things to do. He was thorough in his planning. When we met, he gave us brochures and other printed materials about the history of the trail as well as the village, Tsumago, where we will spend a night. Once we arrived at the village where we'd start the walk, he took us to couple of eating places. He encouraged us to try some of the local food. Making sure we had good energy before the walk :). Do try the Gohei-mochi. We had one during our stay in Tsumago. It was delicious and seriously addictive. :) He was knowledgeable and also... read more
I appreciate your excellent review. Yes, the key factor of our tour was the weather. Actually, I had been worried about it considering plan B until the tour started, but we had the best day for walking in the end. I can't help realizing that you and your family members brought such a fortune for yourselves. I hope you will visit central Japan,especially Gifu, again. I am really looking forward to seeing you.
We did the Magome to Tsugama section of the nakasendo trail tetsuji arrive punctually at the hotel where we stayed to meet us and the meat are we to magome efficiently and quickly without any delays and extremely comfortable SB decided to choose riding reserved seats in the train. Also he advised a taxi from the train station to the start point so as to not wait more than 20 minutes for the next bus. It was good advise as we had lots more time to enjoy the trek. He was informative and made great attempt to answer our questions! Some perhaps too botanical! He recommended a few local snacks which were delightful and ended with coffee before returning to Nagoya. He spent 9 hours with us and returned to Nagoya with us where we parted ways. All together we had a very pleasant day and were bless... read more
Thank you for quick review. I am so relieved to know that you are satisfied with my tour and guiding. Actually, I enjoyed myself walking through pleasant communication with you and your wife.I have also noticed that I should have lots of subjects to study and prepare for guests. I repeatedly thank you again and look forward to seeing you again.
Tetsuji is great guided tours. He took us to wonderful places and a good restaurant. I recommend him very much Gil
Thank you for the quickest review. I am grateful for your good words. I hope you will stay happy and fit. Thank you again and take care.
Very happy to tour with Tetsuji-san! We arranged a visit to Mino for traditional Washi (paper) crafts, as well as Seki for the Sword museum and a knife making factory tour. In addition to planning a great day in Mino & Seki, he helped keep us on schedule with trains, arranged a delicious lunch, and did a great job of answering our questions. After the trip, Tetsuji was kind enough to send us pictures he had taken of us during the day to help with the memory book of our vacation. Excellent communication during pre-trip planning, as well as during the day of our trip. It was such a relief to have Tetsuji with us in these areas of Japan less traveled by tourists. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your great review, Charlene. I am happy to have known that you and Kyle seemed to have enjoyed realizing some Japanese culture throughout my guided tour. I hope you will visit Japan again and spend some happy time with me someday.
Very pleasent and well prepared. He took us to a restaurant that specializes in Uniagi and Ayu. The tour of the knife factory that he set up was excellent. He was able to keep us on schedule which is not an easy task.
Thank you for quick review for my tour. I am relieved to know you are satisfied with my tour against some inconvenience. I was happy to communicate with you and your family members all the time. I hope to see you if you have a chance to visit central Japan area again. I have just sent some photos with some comment to your address. Please enjoy it and give my best regards to others.

Private Jets Will Get You to Ali Al Salem Air Base Quickly and Efficiently
Top 8 Reasons for Private Flights
Sit back for a moment, close your eyes, and imagine a private flight with none of the following problems you encounter on a commercial flight:
1 - You will not have to sit for hours in a crowded waiting area.
2 - No bothersome and rude fellow travelers (unless you invited them).
3 - No layovers and sprints from one gate to another.
4 - Your favorite soda will not be given to somebody else before the stewardess gets to your seat.
5 - You can put your seat back without disturbing somebody else.
6 - Nobody in front of you will disturb you by putting their seat down.
7 - No screaming babies, or toddlers, or unhappily married people.
8 - No obnoxious body odors coming from your seat partner that you didn't choose.
There are many reason to use a private jet to get to your destination airport
The one most important reason of using the air charter services is because of its convenience. Unlike the other commercial aircrafts, you will be in charge of the chartered flight. You will not have to go through the troubles of cramped seats or any delays owing to issues regarding unruly passengers. In this case you will get to pick the person you want to have in your flight. Making use of these services is going to remove all the stress that you go through when you are flying, making sure you have a very pleasant flight and journey to airport. The flight will be scheduled for its take off only when you want to leave. You can even have a route that you have planned out for your travel. Although, in this case you will really not like to manage every little detail, having to control your entire experience of flying is a reason that is more than enough to use a chartered flight service.
Flying is style is a perfect definition to using a chartered jet service. If you are still not clear with what it means then you must think of all those affluent people including celebrities and politicians and how they get to travel so often. These are the people who rather make use of the chartered plane service as compared to the traditional air services mainly because of how much more convenient it is for them besides other issues concerning security and frequency of travel to airport. Some of these people even have their own chartered luxury jet for traveling at any time. An average individual cannot even think of owning one of these because of how expensive it is, therefore, renting it is more of a decent option. You do not have to be the world's richest person to rent out a jet; it is only dependant on having the right tools for this.
If you are beginning to look around that your neighbors, business associates or friends are now making use chartered flights there is no reason to be surprised any more. This method of traveling is no longer limited for the richer class or for all those celebrities and politicians. The way of traveling has become very common these days. Commercial flying on the other hand has been the biggest boon on mankind as it is very easy for an individual to travel across the world without much hassle. Many people belonging to different income classes are also using this kind of transport. Although it is a big boon, it does come with a few downsides and some of us just have to put up with that no matter what happens. Every person knows the value of time today, most importantly for a businessman who travels for work reasons. Moreover, nobody wants to waste time at the destination airport for check-in or security.

Antagonists vs Conflict
I recently read an article which claimed to list six different types of story conflict.
It described 'conflict' as 'struggle', which is similar to how I'd describe it. However, it went on to list six types of antagonist, not six types of conflicts.
Antagonists and conflicts are not one and of the same thing.
So what is the difference between antagonists and conflicts? What are the six kinds of antagonist?
What exactly is an antagonist?
Simply put, the antagonist is the main character's enemy. This doesn't necessarily mean the antagonist is 'the bad guy'; there are plenty of stories in which we
support both protagonist and antagonist (eg Game of Thrones) and
Preter the antagonist to the protagonist.
A story's main character is not always the good guy.
'Antagonist' does not necessarily mean 'the evil one' or 'the enemy'; it simply means 'the opposition'.
The Oxford Dictionary's definition of antagonist is 'a person/thing that actively opposes or is hostile to someone or something; an adversary'.
You'll find, more often than not, that the antagonist actually causes the protagonist's number one conflict.
Every novel needs one, whichever form it takes.
What is conflict?
Conflict is not x vs y. Conflict is the barrier blocking x and y from reaching their ultimate goals. Let's take the TV series, Black Sails as an example. In this series, the pirates are the protagonists and the 'good guys', while the English government are the antagonists and the opposition.
This story is captivating because it is entire made up of conflict after conflict. The pirates have to jump through hoop after hoop to get what they want. Their goals clash and cause struggle, opposing plans, and disagreements.
If you'd like to read more about, check out my article: The Importance of Conflict
While the antagonist is the opposition to the protagonist, conflict is what arises between the two.
So what are the main types of antagonist?
The Mind
Supernatural Forces
Person vs person.
This is the most common form of antagonist. The story has a protagonist who has an enemy; the antagonist.
The main conflict is not the fact that they are enemies, but the fact that their individual goals directly affect the other's.
Eg Harry Potter vs Voldemort.
Harry's goal is to protect his friends so he must destroy voldemort. Voldemort's goal is to have power over all, but he must kill Harry to achieve it.
Their goals clash and cause conflict.
Person vs Nature.
Consider the film The Day After Tomorrow. The antagonist in this film is the dangerous weather conditions. This antagonist can't be an enemy because it has to intentions; no initiative or plan. But it is the antagonist because it is hostile - it is what the characters must battle to reach their goals. The antagonist here, the weather, causes the conflict - the struggle - which is to keep warm and find medicine. Essentially, the antagonist is causing a conflict between life and death.
Person vs the mind.
The internal workings of the mind can be the antagonist; most commonly found in films about insanity. A film in which this form of antagonist is used is Black Swan. The antagonist here is the mental pressure the protagonist is under to perform well. This causes conflict: protagonist vs madness.
Person vs society.
A perfect example for this is The Hunger Games. Katniss, the protagonist, fights the capitol, the antagonist.
Societal antagonists are found in political stories: Nineteen Eighty-Four, Divergent, The Handmaid's Tale.
Katniss Everdeen's conflict is between her sense of moral justice against the capitol's behaviour and her desperate need to keep her friends and family safe.
Person vs the supernatural.
This is most commonly found in horror stories.
The supernatural antagonist tends to be a ghost or a beast of some kind - be it a vampire, a werewolf, a demon, or a witch (and so on). The conflict tends to be fear - the protagonist must get past their fear in order to be rid of the supernatural force.
However, an intriguing example can be found in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Buffy's antagonist is the supernatural vampire and demon. Her conflict is morality. When she begins to befriend and learn to love vampires, can she believe them all to be monsters? Her morality frequently gets in the way of reaching her goal: to kill vampires and demons.
Person vs modern technology.
A common technological antagonist is the robot.
In this case, the technological antagonist isn't necessarily evil, but always manages to turn on humankind in some way.
Consider Hal in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Is Hal evil for what he/it did? No. The robot was simply following protocol.
The film I. Robot is a good example of the robot who fights back. In fact, this antagonist is on our screens right now in the TV series, Westworld.
The conflict, here, is born out of a question that we, as humans, haven't answered yet: are robots alive? Do robots have rights? Should robots have free will?
This uncertainty causes a conflict between our need to feel safe and our belief that everyone should have equal rights.
These are the most basic (and common) kinds of antagonist. I'm sure there are other kinds out there. Give them a go in your own writing.
Remember: to make an antagonist engaging, they have to cause a conflict for the protagonist and they have to stand in exact opposition to the protagonist.

"The manner in which human sense perception is organized, the medium in which it is accomplished, is determined not only by nature but by historical circumstances as well" Walter Benjamin
Walter Benjamin wrote The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction in 1936. The rapid shift toward dynamic, industrialized modernity created a pervasive anxiety among artists and art lovers. Could art be replaced by machines? New photographic technology became the catalyst, carrying fears surrounding visual art and, to some extent, perceptions of reality in of itself. Arguing that, in order for it to remain relevant, there needed to be a shift in how to understand art in a modern context. The themes of authenticity, tradition, ritual, value, mass production and proliferation of art are woven throughout the essay.
It is not surprising that similar conversations are occurring now surrounding the migration of the library's print collections to digital platforms. Incorporating technology, "the machine," into the library space is often viewed as being disruptive, inauthentic and contrary to the original intention of the 20th century library.
We are finding that these same themes brought forth by Benjamin in 1936 are entering our research process. How do we manage traditions and ritualistic expectations of library patrons? What is the value of the digital library? How do we connect technology with existing collections?
There remains a great deal of work for librarians to transform and create a new narrative for the printed book. The historical context of the 21st century requires libraries to be creative, expanding on the idea of Ceci n'est pas un Livre . The bookwall is a design example that the library can use to highlight the idea of learning in the library.
The overarching question remains: What type of machines do we allow into the Garden of Eden? Tell us what you think.
Please take our Academic Library Survey
Please take our Public Library Survey
We will be releasing data about the survey at our workshop "make the library an incubator for learning" on June, 5, 2014 @ Steelcase Worklife NYC

Tuesday July 9, 2019-Lawyer Denis Anyonka has said that the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) is right in its bid to charge Statehouse Digital Director Denis Itumbi with treason.
This follows the arrest of Itumbi over claims of authoring a letter claiming that some top state officials are plotting Deputy President William Ruto's assassination.
Speaking on Monday, Anyonka who doubles up as a political analyst said that according to the law, any thoughts revolving around murder of the presidency is treated as treason.
Consequently, he added, the fact that the letter was insinuating that the DP might be killed, those found behind it can rightfully be charged with treason.
"Iwapo hii barua itapatikana inetokea katika quarters za Itumbi kuhusu kifo cha DP its possible. Its open kuna mtu alikaa akafikiria kuhusu kifo cha DP. (If traced to Itumbi's quarters then its possible because it's open someone sat and though about the DP's death)," he said.
He made the remarks on Radio Maisha's Bunge La Maisha on Monday morning.
He added that a win or loss now depends on how the DCI will present its case before the court, but added that it might have very negative effects of Ruto's future ambitions.
"Iwapo itakuwa fake, itakuwa inemharibia sana (if it will be fake, it will have spoiled it for him)," he added.

Cracking the Code
PROVO, Utah – Jan 14, 2019 – According to the Code.org, the United States has nearly half a million open computing jobs, compared to just fifty thousand students who graduated in computer science in the last year. The education system has yet to catch up with the massive demand for skilled coders, and parents can struggle to find ways to educate children in computer programming. Parents' frustration led BYU Marriott School of Business students to found Skill Struck, a company that teaches children how to code by providing them with a personal instructor.
Skill Struck was born in the entrepreneurship junior core at BYU Marriott, where professors emphasize the importance of identifying pain points in the entrepreneurial process. For entrepreneurs, pain points are not problems; they are opportunities to provide products or services that can alleviate, or entirely eliminate, problems or inconveniences that consumers face.
Entrepreneurship professors encourage students to constantly search for pain points in all facets of life, and Skill Struck founder and CEO Parker Gentry, then a junior in the entrepreneurship program at BYU Marriott, took that advice to heart.
When Gentry was beginning the entrepreneurship junior core, his younger brother, Max, had just returned from a week-long coding camp in California. At the camp, Max learned the basics of writing code and even made a simple video game. "My parents loved it because he wasn't actually playing video games," Gentry says. "He was doing something more productive, developing a skill."
However, when Gentry's parents began searching for ways to help Max learn more about coding, they were disappointed with what they found. "At that time, I noticed my parents had a pain point," Gentry says. "They started Googling things like 'coding for teens,' and what they found were a lot of websites with software and video lessons."
Such tools might be helpful for adults with the willpower to sit through long coding lectures, but Gentry's parents knew Max would react much better to a more personalized training. That's when Gentry saw the chance to apply principles taught in his entrepreneurship courses to a real-world situation.
"In the junior core of BYU Marriott's entrepreneurship program, we talk all about understanding customer pain points, and then we try to figure out what the current options are to address those pain points," Gentry says. "From there we get creative in determining what is missing from the current options."
Gentry concluded that the kind of personalized training his younger brother received at summer coding camp might be the element that current coding instruction options lacked. Emboldened by what he had learned in the junior core, Gentry began creating coding curriculum with his cousin, Brian Rasmussen, who currently studies information systems at BYU Marriott.
Armed with this curriculum, the two set out to teach coding to youth at summer camps in California. "What I learned in the junior core is you can think and Google as much as you want, but you don't get anywhere until you actually go out and do something," Gentry says.
Gentry and Rasmussen aimed to answer two questions during their summer experiment: would parents be willing to pay for the course, and would kids interact well with the curriculum? By the time the Fall 2017 semester came around, the pair could confidently answer both questions in the affirmative. "We learned so much that summer and even made some money," Gentry says. "And with that money, we were able to start exploring other business models."
When Gentry returned to classes that fall, he found mentors in entrepreneurship professors such as Nick Greer, Nile Hatch, and Chad Carlos. Concepts he learned from professors that year, both in and out of class, helped Gentry and Rasmussen lay the groundwork for Skill Struck's current business model.
After graduating in April 2018, Gentry decided to make Skill Struck his sole focus. Today, the company operates on a monthly subscription model and offers coding instruction from its team of "skillstructors." "The BYU Marriott entrepreneurship program was phenomenal and definitely helped make Skill Struck into what it is today," Gentry says.
