Описание: The Olympic runner, actress, filmmaker and writer Alexi Pappas shares what she's learned about confidence, self-reliance, mental health, embracing pain, and achieving your dreams.

When "Renaissance runner" (New York Times) Alexi Pappas--Olympic athlete, actress, filmmaker, and writer--was four years old, her mother died by suicide, drastically altering the course of Pappas's life and setting her on a search for female role models. When her father signed his bereaved daughter up for sports teams as a way to keep her busy, female athletes became the first women Pappas looked up to, and her Olympic dream was born. At the same time, Pappas had big creative dreams, too: She wanted to make movies, write, and act. Despite setbacks and hardships, Pappas refused to pick just one lane. She put in a tremendous amount of hard work and wouldn't let anything stand in her way until she achieved all of her dreams, however unrelated they may seem to outsiders. In a single year, 2016, she made her Olympic debut as a distance runner and wrote, directed, and starred in her first feature film. But great highs are often accompanied by deep lows; with joy comes sorrow. In Bravey, Pappas fearlessly and honestly shares her battle with post-Olympic depression and describes how she emerged on the other side as a thriving and self-actualized woman. Unflinching, exuberant, and always entertaining, Bravey showcases Pappas's signature, charming voice as she reflects upon the touchstone moments in her life and the lessons that have powered her career as both an athlete and an artist--foremost among them, how to be brave. Pappas's experiences reveal how we can all overcome hardship, befriend pain, celebrate victory, relish the loyalty found in teammates, and claim joy. In short: how every one of us can become a bravey.

"Pappas-Funsch delightfully provides the reader with an overarching introduction to the country's rich cultural heritage which then sets the grounds for an eloquent explaination of Qaboos's foreign policy ... . By writing this very important book, Pappas-Funsch has indeed succeeded in reaching a larger audience about the uniqueness of Oman within the Arab world and how it truly stands out as one of the few 'good news' stories to emerge from the Middle East in the contemporary era ... ."

Описание: The ArchiMate(R) Specification, an Open Group Standard, defines an open and independent modeling language for Enterprise Architecture that is supported by different tool vendors and consulting firms. The ArchiMate language enables Enterprise Architects to describe, analyze, and visualize the relationships among business domains in an unambiguous way. This book is the official specification of the ArchiMate 3.0.1 modeling language from The Open Group. ArchiMate 3.0.1 is a minor update to ArchiMate 3.0, containing the set of corrections from ArchiMate 3.0 Technical Corrigendum No. 1 (U172). This addresses inconsistencies and errors identified since the publication of Version 3.0 in June 2016.The ArchiMate Specification supports modeling throughout the TOGAF(R) Architecture Development Method (ADM). New features in Version 3 include elements for modeling the enterprise at a strategic level, such as capability, resource, and outcome. It also includes support to model the physical world of materials and equipment. Furthermore, the consistency and structure of the language have been improved, definitions have been aligned with other standards, and its usability has been enhanced in various other ways.The intended audience is threefold: ¢ Enterprise Architecture practitioners, such as architects (e.g., business, application, information, process, infrastructure, and, obviously, enterprise architects), senior and operational management, project leaders, and anyone committed to work within the reference framework defined by the Enterprise Architecture. ¢ Those who intend to implement the ArchiMate language in a software tool; they will find a complete and detailed description of the language in this book. ¢ The academic community, on which we rely for amending and improving the language, based on state-of-the-art research results in the Enterprise Architecture field.

Описание: Screaming in the Wind dares to ask if the religion of Christianity is what is keeping people from Christ? Does the world look at modern the church world and see a message of freedom? Could it be that we are majoring in the minors and the very things we esteem in the institution are now working against the purposes for which the Body of Christ exists? To the religious, this book is seen as dangerous, but to those who have a hunger for God it's a call to be all God has qualified you to be. Screaming in the Wind is a timely wake-up call for all of God's people to remember who we are and why we exist. It not only challenges existing systems and methods but also our imagination to be the people God has called us to be. The wake-up call of a generation. A shout for freedom.

This book is a reprint of an academic treatise that illuminates previously unobserved connections between the genealogical elements in the ancient Greek myths and the historical shift of political power westward from the Greek cities of coastal Asia Minor to the well known metropoleis of mainland Greece in the centuries of transition between the Archaic Period and the era of the Classical Greek city-states. Since this treatise has been uncommonly controversial in the aftermath of its original composition, it seemed imperative to publish it in its original unabridged form. It is equally clear that there is also a call for a less detailed, more user-friendly rendition. That sequel is presently on the agenda and shall be forthcoming in the near future.
