Typing in a few words; sure, that will work but this book shows how to add additional words and commands. Giving the image more beauty and complexity.The "prompt";A "prompt" is the string of words that one enters to inform the engine what to imagine for you. "A tree by a lake" for example, would work just fine. But consider the prompt used for this book's cover: "large oak trees in autumn by a lake with a fountain unreal engine -wallpaper"The name unreal engine suggests a "virtual world" look popular in 4K video games.The command -wallpaper makes the image in a wider aspect ratio rather that square.Consider other words: painterly, 3D, style of Van Gogh, --ar 1920:1080, cinematic, cyber punk, realism, 3-point lighting, portrait. The possibilities are endless.In this study my fascination with trees led these prompts.I hope the images and prompts amaze you like they have me.

Letters From Slovakia is a glimpse of what life was like, for an Englishman at least, in the Slovak Republic; some years on from the Velvet Revolution and the Velvet Divorce, but still prior to the country joining NATO and the European Union. David James describes life in Slovakia through a collection of letters, which give an account of his personal experiences living in this beautiful little country in the heart of Europe. The letters give a wonderful insight into the society and culture of the Slovak Republic at that time. The Letters From Slovakia begin with David's first encounter with the Slovak Republic, in the summer of 1997, and continue until the close of his second year living in the country, towards the end of 2003. The thirteen letters cover a range of subjects including the following: - "An Invitation To The Embassy" - Join David at a champagne reception in the Slovak Embassy, in London. - "The Journey From Hell" - David's first ever trip to Slovakia. - "The Heart Of Europe" - A visit to the geographic center of Europe. - "From Morava With Love" - A trip across the border to the Czech Republic. - "Easter Traditions" - The "freshening" of women on Easter Monday. - "Making Sausages" - A look at how to make traditional Slovak sausages. - "World Champions" - Slovakia's historic victory in the ice hockey. - "Volby 2002 - Slovak General Election" - Slovakia's most crucial General Election, in 2002. There is no doubt that Slovakia has changed a lot in the decade since these letters were first written, both for the better and for the worse, but many of the themes in the book still hold true today. Letters From Slovakia is simply a must read for anyone with an interest in Slovakia.

This book aims to broaden the reader's interest in language as an essentially human activity and as an art form. However, it is less concerned with encouraging creative writers than in sharpening sensitivity to the billions of words and word combinations that surround us. Of the four language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing), writing is the most difficult. It is also the skill by which we are often judged by others, as worthy to proceed to higher learning, say, or to be interviewed for a post of special responsibility. It is the sector that causes most anxiety for pupils and parents. As an essentially self-help guide, this book may be used as a supplement to regular classes; however it is predominantly a stand-alone manual that eschews regular drills and places the onus on the student to question our use of written and spoken words. Each of the 60 or so one-page chapters simply outlines the topic and follows this with a 'To Do' section with no answers. The student will realise that language is arbitrary and that he/she is the final judge. Developing Writing Skills is not merely about getting you through exams but encouraging an interest in language for life. It is a practical book, but not a grammar book; it encourages you to read widely and choose your words with care; to expand your word store, to write continually and self-critically, and learn to take a pride in a sentence! Students may look askance at the latter because schools are essentially market orientated, encouraging 'performance' through various 'stages' and obsessed by league tables and university places. Life does not begin with a first-class honours degree and end with a career as a heart surgeon or a barrister; it begins and ends with an attempt to grapple with language sounds and later its accompanying marks on paper, rather than marks in a teacher's record book.

This book reprints and analyses reviews of music hall acts from the family magazine The Red Letter, which was published by the Scottish based firm D C Thomson from 1899 to 1987. The articles under review range in date from 1902 to 1914, covering theatres all over Britain and acts from around the world. The reviews are uniquely detailed and shed light not only on the early acts of comics who would later go on to achieve wider fame, such as Will Hay and Robb Wilton, but also reveal the acts of long forgotten performers. These so-called ¿wines and spirits¿ acts¿acts that would never top the bill but who nevertheless toured the halls, sometimes for years on end, such as female impersonator Albert Letine, comedy magician Chris van Bern and female stand up Anna Dorothy amongst many others¿deserve to be remembered every bit as much as the top of the bill acts. The articles are arranged in sections, covering race, gender, character comedy, physical comedy, male comedy and specialty or ¿spesh¿acts. The reviews reveal not only the contents of the acts but also the audience reactions to those acts and prevailing contemporary Edwardian attitudes. The articles are accompanied by their original illustrations, some of which are unique and, like the articles themselves, unseen for over a century.
