Mark led a remarkable life, before succumbing to dementia.He managed to survive intense abuse from his mother, through the teachings of his Druid grandparents on love without conditions and connecting with Nature. During the last seven years of our thirty year partnership I cared for him and chronicled his slow mental decline. Here is our journey through the unspeakable with varying degrees of acceptance and grace. This is my tribute to Mark, his life and his spirit: a love poem of memory, respect, pain and joy.Mark's upbringing by his Druid grandparents is illuminating. I was fortunate to transcribe his memories before he began to lose them. Here are teachings about communicating with spirits, plant lore, frequencies, restructuring one's brain, forgiveness and love without conditions. Dementia caregivers can relate to my experiences and perhaps feel less alone. I hope also my fellow caregivers can pick up ideas on how to better take care of themselves, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Others may learn compassion for those enmeshed in the bizarre world of dementia, and perhaps reach out in friendship.

In fact, I've heard from many producers that their families will still ask them what they do for work ten or fifteen years into their career.But being a producer isn't as much a career as it is a lifestyle. Everything you do throughout the production process bleeds into your personal life, from budgeting and building relationships to making family decisions. So if you're looking for a book that's more than just a step-by-step process to producing a film or a book that won't become outdated in the next year as the industry changes, then this is the book for you. We're diving into the principles and lifestyle of a producer that have been around for years and will continue to be around even after the next form of distribution arrives or the newest camera has become obsolete. Because whether you produce documentaries, features, or commercials, we all live The Producer's Life.

"A provocative adventure diving into AI's role in human civilization. In this provocative SF adventure, humans and advanced AI must work together to save Earth from the catastrophic damage of climate change. State-of-the-art Andronaut Zaylen is the first autonomous android designed for deep space exploration. With a human crew at the helm, Zaylen and his team must traverse a volatile alien planet and secure Tridisiom, an isotope with the ability to restore Earth. Tensions rise over the crew's divided attitude toward dependance on AI, all as Zaylen wrestles with his growing need for acceptance from his human colleagues. Meanwhile, Earth's fate rests in the ability of man and machine bridging a partnership, but embracing new complex technology proves more challenging than anticipated... "- Publishers Weekly BookLife Review Embark on an expedition through the cosmos in The Andronaut's Journey. Join the crew of the spaceship Novara, an eclectic blend of humans and pioneering androids with advanced artificial intelligence, as they travel to a volatile dwarf planet seeking a precious isotope. The crew's adventure becomes a rollercoaster ride of heart-stopping moments - a blend of fears and courage, doubts and hope - as they race to secure the isotope and flee the restless planet before it self-destructs. But their perilous mission is just the backdrop to an even more profound quest - understanding the overlap between humans and AI. As they return to Arcadia Base on Mars, they carry with them not just the cargo from their mission, but also an escalating tension between the human crew and the intelligent robots. Driven by apprehensions about the AI beings among them, the crew and the androids struggle for understanding of the roles of humans and artificial intelligence. At the crossroads of a new era, humans and androids must find common ground or face an eternal power struggle. The Andronaut's Journey is a fascinating space opera that explores the profound question of what makes us who we are, in an age where the line between biology and technology is not just blurred, but almost invisible.

Entrar al corredorcito y llenarse de sus figuras fantásticas, míticas, de sus sueños. Entrar y tener a los otros, a esos otros en los que algún día nos convertiremos -los adultos- como figuras ajenas, silenciosas, pero siempre presentes. Entrar y sumergirse en el espacio habitado por los antepasados, por los silencios y los secretos que -sepamos o no, queramos o no- a lo largo de la vida, sin que seamos conscientes de ellos, nos llevarán a buscar, a encontrarnos con otros que, como nosotros, tendrán historias propias, batallas internas, hilos que cruzan tiempos, universos y se conectan con almas que nos llevan de vuelta a nuestro propio corredorcito, camino a veces perdido en medio de lo adulto. En tres partes, Asturias nos hace surcar la vida de El Alhajadito: la infancia en el corredorcito, el descubrimiento de los antepasados y la identificación con ellos; la travesía en el mar impregnada de las historias de los otros, adultos ya como El Alhajadito, como un ritual para encontrarse, porque "no sabíamos a punto fijo quiénes éramos"; y, finalmente, luego de ese adulto reconocimiento de no saber quién se es, el retorno al origen, a las manos femeninas que alimentaron las voces del corredorcito para que la realidad no doliera tanto. Poco recordamos de la infancia, de las horas de juego en las que vivíamos, en las que el mundo concreto, la realidad, se mezclaba y se fundía -se transformaba- con la fantasía. El Alhajadito de Asturias, poético Asturias, nos devuelve y nos pasea -tal como a El Alhajadito- por ese momento de fabulosa aventura, tal vez esperando que decidamos visitarla, soñarla, reírla, evadir los charcos y comprender el fluir de la vida, ¡por la señal de los sueños! (Denise Phé-Funchal)

This book explores the idea that current poetry in some cases is so novel that it escapes the definition of "modern" poetry and exists in a parallel universe. What current body of work can be read in order to test this proposition? One could read Poetry, a cutting edge monthly magazine. Or, one could read poetry from a poet writing from an assumed different mental universe. The author here has chosen the latter course, attempting to write from a place parallel to where typically he toils. The book explores the validity of the idea that current poetry is materially different from what we call "modern" poetry. It suggests the manner best suited to read the within poems. Finally, the author anecdotally explores sources of the concept of a parallel universe in film, fiction and as defined by science. The concept derives from an exhibit mounted during summer 2023 at the Paris Museum of Modern Art. The curator maintained that the works of the nine represented artists had found a link to a different level of expression. The question presented to this author by that exhibit and its title "Parallel Worlds" was whether that proposition was a mere semantic exercise. And, ultimately, this volume asks whether, underneath all theoretical analysis, these within poems are poetry worth reading-the ultimate test for any "poetry."
