If you don't know how to control yourself, your courage becomes recklessness.

I know, somewhere in me, that it's not her that's being stupid. I understand, on one level, that she doesn't know, that everything's up in the air. But that's no use to me. You know the worst thing about being rejected? The lack of control. If you could only control the when and how of being dumped by somebody, then it wouldn't seem as bad. But then, of course, it wouldn't be rejection, would it? It would be by mutual consent. It would be musical differences. I would be leaving to pursue a solo career. I know how unbelievably and pathetically childish it is to push and push like this for some degree of probability, but it's the only thing I can do to grab any sort of control back from her.

I see a beast is going rampant without knowing their place." "And it's only right for mad beasts to be beaten to death.

Sabía ya que sólo las viejas palabras servían: muerte, congoja, tristeza, pesar, sufrimiento. Nada moderadamente evasivo o medicinal. La aflicción es un estado humano, no médico, y aunque haya píldoras que nos ayuden a olvidarla - y todo lo demás -, no hay pastillas que la curen. Los afligidos no están deprimidos, sino solo debidamente, adecuada, matemáticamente tristes.

On the island of Java, in Indonesia, lived Homo soloensis, ‘Man from the Solo Valley’, who was suited to life in the tropics. On another Indonesian island – the small island of Flores – archaic humans underwent a process of dwarfing. Humans first reached Flores when the sea level was exceptionally low, and the island was easily accessible from the mainland. When the seas rose again, some people were trapped on the island, which was poor in resources. Big people, who need a lot of food, died first. Smaller fellows survived much better. Over the generations, the people of Flores became dwarves. This unique species, known by scientists as Homo floresiensis, reached a maximum height of only 3.5 feet and weighed no more than fifty-five pounds. They were nevertheless able to produce stone tools, and even managed occasionally to hunt down some of the island’s elephants – though, to be fair, the elephants were a dwarf species as well.

For a long minute he gazed at her, his eyes searching the features of that face he'd grown to love so deeply over the years, his memory bringing up images of the past as he did so. The young determination in her face as, in the middle of a blazing firefight, she'd grabbed Luke's blaster rifle away from him and shot them an escape route into the Death Star's detention-level garbage chute. The sound of her voice in the middle of deadly danger at Jabba's, helping him through the blindness and tremor and disorientation of hibernation sickness. The wiser, more mature determination visible through the pain in her eyes as, lying wounded outside the Endor bunker, she had nevertheless summoned the skill and control to coolly shoot two stormtroopers off Han's back. And he remembered, too, the wrenching realization he'd had at that same time: that no matter how much he tried, he would never be able to totally protect her from the dangers and risks of the universe. Because no matter how much he might love her--no matter how much he might give of himself to her--she could never be content with that alone. Her vision extended beyond him, just as it extended beyond herself, to all the beings of the galaxy. And to take that away from her, whether by force or even by persuasion, would be to diminish her soul. And to take away part of what he'd fallen in love with in the first place.

Nothing fires the warrior’s heart more with courage than to find himself and his comrades at the point of annihilation, at the brink of being routed and overrun, and then to dredge not merely from one’s own bowels or guts but from one’s own discipline and training the presence of mind not to panic, not to yield to the possession of despair, but instead to complete those homely acts of order which Dienekes had ever declared the supreme accomplishment of the warrior: to perform the commonplace under far-from-commonplace conditions. Not only to achieve this for oneself alone, as Achilles or the solo champions of yore, but to do it as part of a unit, to feel about oneself one’s brothers-in-arms, in an instance like this of chaos and disorder, comrades whom one doesn’t even know, with whom one has never trained; to feel them filling the spaces alongside him, from spear side and shield side, fore and rear, to behold one’s comrades likewise rallying, not in a frenzy of mad possession-driven abandon, but with order and self-composure, each man knowing his role and rising to it, drawing strength from him as he draws it from them; the warrior in these moments finds himself lifted as if by the hand of a god. He cannot tell where his being leaves off and that of the comrade beside him begins. In that moment the phalanx forms a unity so dense and all-divining that it performs not merely at the level of a machine or engine of war but, surpassing that, to the state of a single organism, a beast of one blood and heart.

Take a moment and read that again…do you believe it? If work is a team sport, then you are dependent upon others for your success. You cannot perform at a high level alone. However, in many organizations a “hero mentality” abounds in which individuals wait to step in and save the day. In those organizations, I tend to see a short-term focus in which firefighting becomes the norm and long-range fire prevention is overlooked. In extreme situations, it's not just firefighting that occurs, but arson, where individuals actually create a crisis in order to be the hero. Those who save the day are then rewarded with other “problem areas to fix” or other recognition that serves to perpetuate the individual mindset. A culture of silos and barriers to collective success abounds! …short-term focus where firefighting becomes the norm and fire prevention tactics are overlooked. In extreme situations it's not just firefighting…it's arson. While this solo mindset may deliver results in the short term, burnout occurs when the self-imposed demands become too great. Team members may become complacent, sitting back and saying to themselves, “Why bother? She will just do it herself anyway.

Movies, music, TV, images and even food have become perfected to such an extent that it’s hard to even remember the way things used to be. We look at computers more than we look at the outside world. It may be true in some sense that movies and TV are more entertaining now, although I don’t personally think so. Magazines think they need to Photoshop their images to keep selling copies. There is no defense for artificial food whatsoever, and the problem with artificial music is that the public doesn’t realize that what they’re listening to is not real. It’s not human. The use of live instruments in recordings and in live “concerts” is so rare now that young people (especially in the United States) don’t have hardly any idea whatsoever about how to dance to live music of any sort. They don’t hear human salsa bands, string quartets, jazz bands, funk bands, rock bands or solo instrumentalists anymore. We have enough DJs. We need more high-level live music. There

On a personal level, one of the main reasons I had wanted to cross Antarctica alone was to find out where my limits lay. If I failed because I had found those limits by being unable to continue for mental or physical reasons I would, at least, be returning home with some kind of answer. To fail because I had run out of time was a failure by logistics and as such, answered nothing. I would be left with the same question I had arrived with and that would be the bitter pill, the true failure. I couldn’t imagine ever wanting to repeat this journey and so the question would likely always remain unanswered. This was my one and only opportunity and it would be wasted.

What no one prepares you for as a woman is for everything to go right. When you are a woman alone, this is never even suggested as a possibility. I will know fellow women who travel solo by their rapt attention when I recount what follows with a level of detail that would exhaust a person accustomed to, for better or worse, traveling with a companion. It’s the solo lady version of parents telling one another they’ve successfully sleep-trained their child or managed to introduce a vegetable into their diet. Similarly, I will watch these women’s faces light up in a combination of recognition, voyeurism, and relief at seeing an ideal version of their life out in the world.

Song was a C-rank hunter with ten years of experience. If he hadn’t been getting on in years, with his level of power, he could’ve worked for a major guild. The confidence exuding from such a figure put the others more at ease.

There's a saying… if the mage gets attacked, it's the tank's fault. If the healer gets attacked, it's the strike squad's fault. If the luggage carrier gets attacked, it's the guild's fault. A luggage carrier is always safe… as long as the raid is a success.

Maybe it’s because running is tangible. Running has a start, a middle and an end. You have very clear instructions on what is expected, and it is a solo endeavour. Nobody else can do the running for you. Nobody else can affect the outcome. There are a number of certainties attached to it: the distance, the terrain, the amount of training you have to do. Running does not judge or discriminate; it is a leveller. If you want to run a marathon and not die, you have to do the work. It’s a very clean process. It’s very clear. It’s very honest. It’s very simple.

You played around with a person's life, so are you ready to face the consequences?" "What is this bastard saying?" "If you guys are hunters, I'm saying you should be ready to become the hunted.

Unless Jesus Christ himself shows up, I don’t want to hear it.

A Knife held in self-defense would just be seen as a weapon by others.

If there were 5 mouths, there were also 10 eyes, meaning the more people talked about him the more eyes they'd be on him.

moved to the aura-based system. That's part of development: You throw stuff out there, and it works or it doesn't." Ultimately, however, auras passed the Blizzard North test: If a proposal's merit held up after testing, it made the cut. Auras became a defining characteristic of the Paladin. His assortment of combat skills and defensive auras enabled solo players to survive and thrive on their own, while Paladin players were sought after on Battle.net for the benefits their auras granted to parties. To fully upgrade each of any hero's thirty skills would require 600 skill points. The maximum character-level is 99, meaning players will never receive enough points to master—fully upgrade—all thirty skills. That limitation forces them to make difficult choices: maximize proficiency in a few skills, focus on a half dozen, or potentially spread themselves thin to become competent in all abilities but a master of none. Because each hero's skills are exclusive, all players wind up specializing simply by choosing a class. From there they only specialize further, investing heavily in some skills, spending a single point in others to satisfy requirements for later abilities, and ignoring most of the rest. Those limitations are not meant to restrain players, but to encourage them to think carefully about upgrades. The thought they put into skill points creates a bond between players and their avatars, and the satisfaction that comes from seeing a character evolve—as well as choosing each and every piece of a character's equipment load—feeds into Dave Brevik's peacock mentality: No two players were likely to spec out the same hero. In fact, a single player could roll several Amazons or Paladins and develop each differently. In a way, assigning exclusive skills to Diablo II's heroes was more limiting than Diablo's spell books, which could be read and cast by any of the game's three heroes as long as players dumped enough experience points into their Magic stat. Blizzard North's team saw that limitation as a good thing. It fostered agency, asking players to play an active role in evolving their characters.

funk guitar breaks, but the final three require a level of skill

Italia e Germania, riparte il dialogo Al vertice voluto dal Quirinale gli analisti guardano oltre gli stereotipi “Da soli non contiamo nulla nel mondo, smettiamo di accusarci a vicenda” 2.715 Erasmus È questo il numero degli universitari italiani che nel 2012-2013 hanno studiato in Germania. Gli studenti tedeschi in Italia invece sono stati 1.842 460 parole Difficile parlarsi, quando la più grave crisi da un secolo ha polarizzato l’Europa e spinto Italia e Germania su fronti opposti. Nella patria di Angela Merkel, purtroppo, si distingue spesso tra «Paesi debitori» e «creditori» o ci si ossessiona per i «compiti a casa» e l’«azzardo morale». E la retorica sul pigro Sudeuropa fatica a spegnersi. Ma anche in Italia un populismo pigro ha ispirato campagne elettorali con slogan che propagandavano «più Italia, meno Germania». E la tentazione di addossare colpe antiche che fanno da zavorra alla nostra economia all’austerità targata Berlino, è sempre dietro l’angolo. Inevitabile, dunque, che all’«Italian-German High Level Dialogue» organizzato su impulso del Quirinale, con il patrocinio della Farnesina e il coordinamento dell’Ispi, i toni non siano sempre stati concilianti. Ma invece di continuare a dividersi sul debito pubblico o sul surplus commerciale, i banchieri, gli imprenditori, gli economisti, i diplomatici, gli analisti e i (pochi) politici convenuti a Torino hanno preferito spesso partire dai punti in comune per ritrovare la via del dialogo. Un’opportunità importante che secondo il presidente di Generali Gabriele Galateri di Genola «dovrebbe essere arricchita con un coinvolgimento maggiore della società civile. La verità è che quando le persone si conoscono e si confrontano, tante incomprensioni vengono superate». E forse, il primo sforzo, ha sostenuto l’ambasciatore Reinhard Schäfers, potrebbe essere quello di rinunciare a termini che in Italia hanno spesso un sapore paternalistico come i «compiti a casa». Il secondo sforzo, ha aggiunto, ha già un aggancio all’attualità. Perché le due maggiori potenze manifatturiere in Europa «non possono definire insieme le priorità» per i piani di investimenti europei, a partire da quello targato Juncker? Anche per Klaus-Peter Roehler, amministratore delegato di Allianz, il dialogo bilaterale «può dare importanti impulsi alla crescita». Il presidente di Unicredit e del gruppo Springer, Giuseppe Vita, citando un argomento prediletto da Merkel, ha ricordato la base di ogni ragionamento sull’opportunità di mettere insieme le forze: «l’Italia e la Germania sono realtà assolutamente trascurabili, nel panorama mondiale». Solo in una cornice europea possono negoziare in modo credibile con il resto del mondo. C’è anche un problema di comunicazione, ovviamente. E se «in Germania c’è una percezione troppo scarsa delle riforme importanti che l’Italia sta facendo», secondo il presidente dell’Autorità per il controllo delle leggi, Johannes Ludewig, il membro del board della Bundesbank, Carl-Ludwig Thiele, ha lamentato l’informazione inesatta sulla Germania che molti giornali italiani diffondono. Soprattutto, ha esclamato, «nessun Paese è amato come l’Italia». Se questo non è un buon punto di partenza. [t. mas.]

I looked out over the lake, a vast plane of deep azure and emerald under a clear blue sky, noticing the reflection of the towering Italian Alps visible in the gentle ripples of the water. This, I thought to myself, is amazing. Just as my dopamine levels were peaking, the happiness dial turned to eleven, my attention was drawn to a peculiar object hovering in the air roughly twenty yards in front of me, spiraling my direction like a tiny heat seeking missile locked on to my forehead. Curious, I thought to myself. Before I could react, the object—a giant bee from hell—contacted the front of my helmet.
