Описание: The Life of Aaron is one of the most interesting and sophisticated hagiographical works surviving in Coptic. The work contains descriptions of the lives of ascetic monks, in particular Apa Aaron, on the southern Egyptian frontier in the fourth and early fifth centuries, and was probably written in the sixth century. Even though the first edition of this work was already published by E.A. Wallis Budge in 1915, a critical edition remained outstanding. In this book Jitse H.F. Dijkstra and Jacques van der Vliet present not only a critical text, for the most part based on the only completely preserved, tenth-century manuscript, but also a new translation and an exhaustive commentary addressing philological, literary and historical aspects of the text.

Описание: Refresh the Road Ahead is a book about Microsoft and how to partner with Microsoft. The idea to write this book originated during Microsoft s Inspire event in July 2017, formerly called the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference. Microsoft just announced a new organizational structure and I decided to write an article on LinkedIn analyzing the reorganization and what it would mean for partners. In less than two weeks' time, I had over 20.000 views and more than 5.000 of those came directly from Microsoft employees. There had been many rumors and there was much secrecy around the reorganization. Other partners at the conference suggested that I write a book to help them, so during my holidays in August 2017 instead of reading books, as I normally do, I started writing one. I interviewed 40 partners from 19 different countries, half of them CEO s and half of them global award winners. They all openened up completely about their business models, success, failures and how they transformed The latest book you can find on engaging with Microsoft dates to 2009. Originally the subtitle of this book was a practical guide to successful business partnering with Microsoft but I soon figured out that what was needed for this book to be useful was to create something that would not be completely out of date in one fiscal year. Therefore, I have tried to stay away from short term and very timebound tips and tricks as much as possible and have tried to take the long view. Additionally, I wanted to write a book for partners without it being a marketing outlet for Microsoft. I hope that because I am personally living and driving the transformation at the company I work at as a CEO this might give some additional credibility compared to what you can get from other sources. Microsoft wants you to transform as a partner and they explain the why and sometimes the what, however they come short on the how as very few field people in Microsoft have lived through what it takes to transform as a company. Transformation is hard, painful, and costly. You will see several examples in this book. Some partners had to reduce their staff by over 50 percent to transform, others built completely new businesses. This book will help you understand how to build or transform your business together with Microsoft. This book is intended to be helpful both to companies that want to start to work with Microsoft and existing partners that want to improve the outcomes of their business working with Microsoft. For existing partners, it is important that I dive into how things were before just to put some of the changes into perspective. I hope that for the new partners this doesn t become too complex or boring. One specific call out I would like to make is that this is not just a book for alliance or channel managers. If you want to be successful in a partnership, you cannot abdicate the strategy and the management of that partnership to the alliance person. It needs to be a top down and bottom up approach. This book is for CEO s, CMO s, Practice managers, CTO s and partner roles. Everybody in your organization that has something to do with Microsoft can benefit from reading this book.

Freddie (Fredericka Meyer) BFF of Gemma McWyntr owner of Serendipity, a small ranch of Llamas. Moved from her very vocal dad who thought that anyone who did not raise cattle like a proper rancher was out of their mind, but mom approved as she loved kitting with the beautiful yarns from the Llamas.
Freddie was and will be the BFF to Gemma through thick and thin since grade school it was as if they should have been sisters. Growing up in the beautiful country, riding together when they could and sitting at night beside a campfire when Freddie stayed over. Listening to the stories Grandpa McWyntr and later Pops McWyntr told around the campfire was something that Freddie thought was special. She had two brothers and other girls who would (or could) not understand the tall blonde when she expounded her ideas.
Gemma, of course, would either call her on it or have a hardy laugh.
Freddie came to Gemma's rescue when five men appeared one February morning. Five Scottish warriors from a different time. No joke. And between the two of them, crossing their fingers that the men not turn violent and stay and be nice and cooperate and learn that this was not the place they came from and that no English jerks would be running out of the trees at any time and that...... Whew. So many things. And how to not get all pink-faced or jaw-dropping when seeing the men with no shirts and all - those - muscles..... OK, back to being normal again here.
Freddie found a list of her own troubles and for some reason, one man latched on her and decided to make her life hell. First by showing up at her ranch. By making lewd suggestions. By disturbing not only her but other ranch wives (even married), and being more than a pest but - doing it within the law. So much for putting him in his place.
Then, the day he crossed the line.

Bringing together leading and emerging scholars, this book asks the question: how has contemporary South African literature grappled with ideas of time and history during the political transition away from apartheid?
Reading the work of major South African writers such as J.M. Coetzee, Nadine Gordimer and Ivan Vladislavic as well as contemporary crime fiction, South African Writing in Transition explores how concerns about time and temporality have shaped literary form across the country's literary culture. Establishing new connections between leading literary voices and lesser known works, the book explores themes of truth and reconciliation, disappointment and betrayal.
The ultimate guide to understanding the biology and behavior of the amazing and underappreciated American alligator.
Few scenes put the senses on edge more than a submerged alligator, only eyes and snout showing, when peering across a southern lake on a misty morning. An iconic American predator, these reptiles grow to thirteen feet or more and can live as long as humans. Alligators are complex creatures, capable of terrific attacks and yet tending to their young in the same gentle way a mother duck looks after her brood. Once extremely numerous, alligators came close to extinction in the twentieth century, but thanks to conservation efforts have since made a comeback, reclaiming their rightful place as the monarchs of the southern wetlands.
In this fascinating account, richly illustrated with more than 150 photographs from award-winning wildlife photographer Wayne Lynch, expert zoologist Kent A. Vliet introduces readers to the biology, ecology, and natural history of the American alligator. Sharing nuanced depictions of their hidden lives that will forever change the way you think of these giant reptiles, the book
- combines captivating storytelling with the most current scientific facts - chronicles the life cycle of the alligator - explains why the alligator's precise anatomy and physiology make it so successful - covers a wide range of topics, from courtship and reproduction to communication, basking, nest-building, and hunting - reveals the alligator's sophisticated social life in detail - evaluates the alligator's environmental role as a keystone species - examines the complicated relationship between alligators and people

"Like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, when it dawned on me I was a long way from home I set off to go back. Unfortunately, the home I left is one I can never return to."
Liz Van Vliet thought that when her hair started growing back, the worst part of having breast cancer was behind her. She became adept at 'smiling and waving' and convincing the world that it was onwards and upwards for her and her family. But inside, she was feeling anything like a survivor; acutely depressed and suicidal as she dealt with chronic pain and PTSD. Making it onto Survivor Highway meant accepting that this was not a round trip and that she needed to create a new home and a new normal for her and her family.
Coming Home from Breast Cancerville is the story of how she and her family navigated the potholes and obstacles and found the strength to create a new home and find new purpose and meaning on Survivor Highway. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to know what surviving actually looks like.
