Sotto una luna di sangue crescente, il destino si risveglia e niente sara piu come prima.Halo non ha mai chiesto di essere speciale. Proiettata in un mondo nascosto di potenti mutaforma lupo, antiche rivalita e ambizioni spietate, si ritrova legata a Ray, lAlpha dominante e ferocemente protettivo la cui presenza accende in lei paura e desiderio. Quella che inizia come una fragile alleanza si trasforma rapidamente in qualcosa di molto piu pericoloso: un legame profondo che nessuno dei due puo negare.Ma lamore in un mondo dominato dal potere ha un prezzo.Quando un branco rivale lancia un brutale attacco, Halo viene strappata al fianco di Ray e costretta alla prigionia, dove scopre che la verita su se stessa e molto piu straordinaria e pericolosa di quanto avesse mai immaginato. Mentre le sue abilita latenti iniziano a risvegliarsi, diventa la chiave di un conflitto che minaccia non solo il branco di Ray, ma lequilibrio di potere dellintero mondo soprannaturale.Ray radera al suolo regni pur di riaverla.Spinto dalla furia, dalla lealta e da un indissolubile legame di accoppiamento, Ray conduce una campagna implacabile contro nemici sia esterni che interni alle sue fila. I tradimenti emergono. Le alleanze si sgretolano. E mentre il potere di Halo cresce, si fa strada anche la consapevolezza che non era destinata a stare dietro a un Alpha, ma al suo fianco.Insieme, diventano inarrestabili.Dalle audaci infiltrazioni nelle roccaforti nemiche alle esplosive battaglie sotto cieli cremisi, il legame tra Ray e Halo si evolve in unarma piu potente di artigli e zanne. Il loro amore affina la strategia, alimenta il coraggio e, in definitiva, diventa la forza che unisce le lealta frammentate. Ma la vittoria esige sacrifici, e quando Ray e costretto a scegliere tra il dominio assoluto e la vita di Halo, il futuro di tutto cio che ha costruito e appeso a un filo.Halo si rifiuta di essere la debolezza della sua scelta.Abbracciando la sua eredita e la piena portata del suo risveglio soprannaturale, dimostra di non essere semplicemente una compagna, ma una regina a pieno titolo. Fianco a fianco, affrontano la mente dietro il caos in uno scontro finale che rimodellera per sempre il loro mondo.Eppure, anche il trionfo porta con se delle ombre.Con i loro nemici sconfitti e la pace temporaneamente ristabilita, Ray e Halo si ergono insieme sopra la citta che hanno combattuto per proteggere: piu forti, uniti e profondamente innamorati. Ma il potere non passa mai inosservato. Mentre sussurri di nuove forze si agitano allorizzonte e una figura misteriosa osserva dalloscurita, una verita si fa chiara:

Cesare Farbo e uno scrittore di successo, osannato e idolatrato dal pubblico. Ha vinto premi, pubblicato bestseller, viaggiato per il mondo. Ma ora, a settantadue anni, mentre un tumore lo accompagna lentamente verso la fine, si ritira nella sua casa in Sicilia con un ultimo proposito: scrivere il suo romanzo definitivo.Mentre la malattia avanza, Cesare lavora su due testi paralleli. Da un lato, il romanzo il cui protagonista portera il suo stesso nome e cognome. Dallaltro, un diario personale, intimo, dove racconta la propria vita con disincanto e lucidita. La particolarita? Il romanzo e il diario, che confluiranno in un unico testo, si riflettono luno nellaltro come due immagini in uno specchio opaco: opposte ma inseparabili.Nel diario emerge il ritratto di un uomo che ha avuto tutto, ma che si scopre profondamente solo. Due matrimoni naufragati, quattro figlie lontane e affettivamente irraggiungibili e un passato che non consola. Nel romanzo, invece, Cesare Farbo il protagonista immaginato e uno scrittore fallito, il cui destino e segnato da rinunce, oblio e sogni infranti.Ma piu la narrazione avanza, piu le due linee si contaminano, si mescolano, si rincorrono. Il Cesare reale si confronta con il Cesare possibile, e luno inizia a dubitare dellaltro: chi e il vero fallito? Chi ha vissuto davvero? E quale delle due vite e piu autentica?Anatomia del doppio e un romanzo struggente e vertiginoso sullidentita, la memoria, il rimpianto e il confine fragile fra realta e finzione. Unultima opera che e insieme confessione, resa dei conti e atto damore per la scrittura come forma di sopravvivenza.

Read and Listen. Audiobook Included!I killed them.At least, thats what everyone believes. Thats what I believed for six years.My parents. Gone. My wolf. Stripped away, locked so deep I cant even feel her anymore. My life? Handed over to my brother like Im something he owns, not someone he raised.Twenty-four years old and Im scrubbing floors in the pack that used to be mine. Wearing silver cuffs that never stop burning. Taking hits I stopped flinching from years ago. I dont dream anymore. Dont hope. I just... survive.Until he shows up.Alpha Ryder Kane.They say his eyes go red when the rage takes him. That he walked into a rogue den of thirty wolves and walked out alone. That Alphas twice his age drop their heads when he enters a room. My brother is doing some dangerous deal with him, and I am supposed to stay invisible.But the second Ryders gaze finds me across that corridor?Everything stops.He shouldnt notice me. Im nobody. Wolfless. Broken. A servant in my own packhouse. But he keeps looking at me like he can see straight through every lie my brother built to keep me buried through the silver, through the silence, through eighteen years of damage.And when my brother slides me across the table as part of their agreement like Im some kind of bonus prize attached to the deal Ryder doesnt hesitate.He takes me.Now Im in his territory. In his house. And he is asking questions nobody has asked in six years.About the night my parents died. About why my scent is wrong not pack-scented, not rogue-scented, something older that he cant quite place. About the scars on my wrists and the flinch I cant kill and why the hell my own blood brother treats me like a criminal.I should keep my mouth shut. Stay small. Thats the rule that kept me alive this long.But Ryder? He doesnt do small. And he doesnt do safe.He touches me like Im not already broken. Looks at me like Im not a monster. And when he growls that Im his not his contract obligation, not his slave, not a clause in some dark alpha deal but his something inside me that has been dead for years starts clawing its way back toward the light.Heres the thing about buried secrets though: they never stay buried.My old pack is lying. My brother is hiding something that could get us all killed. And the most powerful Alpha in the entire wolf world a man who has been pulling strings in the shadows for three centuries has known exactly what I am since the night I was born.Im not the murderer they made me believe I was.Im something else entirely.Something the Shadow Council has been terrified of since before my first breath. Something ancient. Something that wears silver chains because the people who put them on me knew if they ever came off I would become the one thing no pack, no contract, no corrupt Alpha Council could stop.The closer Ryder gets to the truth, the more dangerous everything becomes. Because the people who enslaved me? They will burn the entire wolf world to the ground before they let him uncover what really happened in that fire eighteen years ago.And when my wolf finally breaks free?Everyone who hurt me is going to wish they had killed me when they had the chance.

In a world meticulously engineered for convenience, why does achieving our most important goals feel more difficult than ever?

Stop letting the world dictate your limits and start building the discipline to achieve what truly matters.

Why You Feel Lost in Your 20s is a grounded and psychologically informed guide to one of the most confusing yet formative periods of modern life. In a world where expectations remain high but clear paths have disappeared, many young adults find themselves questioning their direction, identity, and progress. This book reframes that experience not as failure, but as a normal and necessary stage of development a time defined not by certainty, but by exploration.Drawing on developmental psychology and real-life patterns, Mary Alice Blythe explains why your 20s feel uniquely unstable. Career paths are no longer linear, relationships are less structured, and constant comparison through social media creates the illusion that everyone else is ahead. Beneath that pressure, many people experience quiet anxiety, decision fatigue, and a persistent sense of being behind their own life. This book breaks down those patterns with clarity and honesty, showing how confusion is not a flaw in you, but a feature of the stage you are in.Rather than offering empty motivation or rigid life plans, this is a practical framework for navigating uncertainty without panic. It explores identity formation, career trial and error, shifting friendships, modern dating, and the internal struggles that define early adulthood. Step by step, it shows how direction is built through action, not overthinking, and how stability can be created even when life feels unpredictable.Reassuring without being simplistic, and honest without being discouraging, this book offers a clear message: you are not behind, you are early.

In our society people deal with translation quality in various contexts, which seldom share information. The first context one comes into contact with it is university: in bachelors and masters degree translation courses teachers do not evaluate translations by testing linguistic abilities anymore. Translations are now considered as texts in themselves that can be more or less independent from their source texts. Marks, whether expressed out of thirty, twenty and so on assign a quantitative value to the result of a translation process.When a newly graduated translator enter the market, whether she chooses to work as a literary translator or she prefers other kinds of translations (business, advertising or technical-scientific), she must translate an essay. Whether the translator will be hired or not depends on how the employer evaluates the translation. In this case, too, a person evaluates the result of a translation process. What kind of criteria does the evaluator use? Are they the same that went for university?If a translation is published, sometimes it happens that reviews on the target text appear on newspapers or specialized magazines, where one may also find a quick comment on the translators job. In this case, her job is often judged only depending on the result, without having had a look at the source text.Last but not least, researchers in the field of translation science (like us now) deal (also) with translation quality, argue about its being either descriptive or evaluative. Here is another context where translations are evaluated, or at least where one thinks about how they should be evaluated and so on and so forth. In a book I wrote about translation quality (2004) I took into account these issues and tried to arouse the interest of those who work in these different social contexts of translation evaluation. I cannot go back over all the milestones of my reasoning here, as I would like to focus on examples of differences and shifts between source and target text. Should you be interested in it, you may read my book. I will go through different examples from the table about consequences on reception of shifts onwards.

Roman Jakobson has had a strange fate. Everybody knows his name and are willing to recognise him as an important character of the global cultural scene. Few, however, have read what he wrote beyond those four or five famous quotes. Quotes that, taken out of context, might not be understood completely and correctly. The selected works by Jakobson are in eight large volumes. Taking into account that he wrote on various other topics, from Russian literature, to Slavic philology, to phonology, to neurology, the pages devoted to themes that are relevant to translation semiotics are "only" a thousand. It is evident that Jakobson has so many things to tell us about translation and that so far we were quite reluctant to read him.Jakobsons approach to translation is a semiotic one. Someone might wonder what relationship there is between semiotics and translation. What does it matter to a translator the theory of the sign of Saussure or Peirce, since she faces practical texts, not theories? To this I reply with two points:1) all translators, even the most refractory to the theory, follow principles. The reason why it does not make sense "not to be interested in the theory" if you translate is that all translators, perhaps unwittingly, have a theory. We have a theory on how to peel an apple or how to dress pants even if nobody has taught us. We all have a mind whose operation can be parsed, and yet there are people who "are not interested" in psychology. Translation is an activity that inevitably forces its practitioners to think about their target reader, and to formulate a message that takes account of the recipient, and then to draw up a communication strategy. And each translator will read the original document, will process it using her innner mental nonverbal language, and will put out the translated text projecting it onto the receiving culture. Then the difference is between those who knowingly use the theory, and those who use it unconsciously.2) Any conception of translation is like an application program based on an operating system, and in this case the operating system is the theory of the sign. In other words, if you think that between the word dog and the animal in question there is an equivalence relation, you get a given theory of translation; but if you think that between the word "dog," and the animal in question there is a series of creative and non-reciprocal links, then you get a completely different theory of translation.This book comes from my reflection activities connected to my teaching work at Milans Civica Scuola Interpreti e Traduttori Altiero Spinelli and, in turn, will provide study materials for students in the coming years and at the same time, I hope, inspiration for new ideas in the minds of readers.For criticism, comments, messages you can write me at the address b.osimo@fondazionemilano.eu.Milan, July 17, 2016

During the Second World War, the German military communicated via a supposedly unbreakable cryptographic device: the Enigma machine. Looking like an oversized typewriter, it scrambled plain text into gibberish using a series of rotating electromechanical wheels. Because the rotors moved after every single keystroke, the machine could generate nearly 159 quintillion possible settings.The German high command believed that this astronomical number made brute-force decryption physically impossible. They were correct. However, they underestimated the brilliant mathematical minds at Britains Bletchley Park, led by Alan Turing. Instead of guessing every combination, the codebreakers identified human behavioral flawslike operators repeatedly using the same predictable phrases or failing to randomize their starting positionsto dramatically narrow down the mathematical possibilities.This book breaks down the sheer mechanical genius of both the encryption and the decryption. You will explore the wiring of the Enigma rotors, the invention of the "Bombe" machines that automated the codebreaking process, and the birth of modern computer science.Decode the greatest intellectual triumph of the twentieth century. Learn how logic, mathematics, and early electromechanical engineering defeated the ultimate Nazi cryptographic weapon.

Before the internet became a ubiquitous global marketplace, it was a lawless frontier of extreme isolation and niche communities. In 1997, the Heavens Gate cult captured global headlines when 39 members committed mass suicide in a California mansion, believing their souls would board an extraterrestrial spacecraft trailing the Hale-Bopp comet. The most shocking element was not just their theology, but how they funded and insulated their reality.Operating a highly successful web design firm called "Higher Source," the group used the emerging architecture of the early internet to completely isolate themselves from dissenting physical realities. They lived in total physical seclusion while building digital gateways for corporate clients. The web allowed them to broadcast their bizarre doctrines globally without ever exposing their fragile belief system to face-to-face academic or social scrutiny.This book investigates the terrifying intersection of early cyberculture and cult psychology. You will explore the sociological vacuum of the 1990s web, the manipulative theology of their charismatic leaders, and the precise digital mechanisms used to enforce absolute ideological conformity.Venture into the darkest corners of the early internet. Understand how the promise of global connectivity paradoxically enabled one of the most closed, fatal psychological echo chambers in modern history.

This indepth ebook draws on more than a decade of handson experience transforming internal audit functions into truly datadriven, AIaugmented assurance capabilities. It goes far beyond theorywalking readers through the full analytics and AI lifecycle in audit, from data sourcing and feature engineering to model deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.Using concrete examples of algorithms and analytics techniquessuch as anomaly detection for transaction testing, outlier analysis for issue identification, process mining for endtoend control assurance, sentiment analysis for audit culture assessment, and predictive models to anticipate emerging risksthe book demonstrates how audit can evolve from retrospective checking to forwardlooking, realtime risk intelligence.At its core, the ebook explores the human side of transformation: how auditors roles, skills, judgement, and credibility evolve when working alongside AI. It shows how internal audit can shift from manual assurance activities to continuous, insightdriven assurance, enhancing relevance, influence, and strategic value across the organisationwhile remaining grounded in governance, ethics, and professional standards.Throughout the book, conceptual frameworks are tightly connected to realworld application. Readers learn not only what AIaugmented auditing looks like, but how to implement it in practiceacross the audit lifecycle, from risk assessment and planning to fieldwork, reporting, and followup.The result is a practical, experiencebased guide for audit leaders, professionals, and transformation teams who want to futureproof internal audit, proactively anticipate risk, build analytics capability, and position audit as a trusted, forwardlooking partner in an increasingly complex and dataintensive business landscape.
