Soem samples:1) An impoverished cobbler once complained to R. Ezekiel that whenever he worked a little too long, continuing his work into the Sabbath, his neighbors reproached him. On the other hand, the factories of the richest Jew in town continued to be busy all during the Sabbath with chimneys belching smoke into the air, and no one ever reproached the rich Jew. R. Ezekiel explained that the cobbler's neighbors were looking out for him. Because the cobbler was poor, he was not able to enjoy many of the good things of this world. The rich Jew, on the other hand, because he was rich, was able to enjoy many of the good things of this world. Therefore, R. Ezekiel said, "That rich Jew enjoys this world, and if by desecrating the Sabbath he loses the world to come, at least he has something. But it is different with you. If you remain working after the holy Sabbath has begun, you will be in danger of losing both worlds."2) Emperor Fo-siu respected the Buddhist priest Si-tien and told him that he could have any treasure-including gold, silver, jewels, priceless works of art-he wanted, provided that he could carry it away in one trip. He then gave Si-tien the key to the royal treasure rooms. However, Emperor Fo-siu was surprised to see Si-tien return very quickly, leading a small girl by the hand. Emperor Fo-siu told Si-tien, "I wanted to give you something valuable, not a dirty orphan. Why did you choose her?" Si-tien replied, "In choosing the child, I chose many rewards-smiles, laughter, affection, small hands and feet, ribbons thrown about in disarray, and the love of a small child for a caring parent."3) Dorothy Parker declined to be weepy. When her husband, Alan Campbell, died, a friend stopped by and asked if he could do anything. Ms. Parker said no, but the friend insisted that there must be something he could do, so Ms. Parker said, "Well, if you insist, go to the corner and get me a tuna on rye, hold the mayo." Ms. Parker once said that she wanted her epitaph to say, "If you can read this, you're too close."4) Comedian Bill Hicks and his comedian friends loved to watch such religious programs as "The PTL [Praise the Lord and People That Love] Club." They used to make bets about how long it would take the preacher to stop talking about Jesus and start talking about dollars.

After the great success of the first book (The Human Factor in Chess) on the model of the four player types, this follow-up volume contains not only specific tasks and exercises but also general questions such as: Do you prefer to calculate concrete lines or do you make your decisions more intuitively? Do you have a good sense of harmony and coordination?This approach is intended to enable the reader to assign himself to one of the player types and find out whether he belongs to the activists or rather to the pragmatists, theorists or reflectors. The result allows to draw conclusions in order to further expand the individual strengths or to develop a more universal playing style overall.Because even if you usually win thanks to your strengths, it makes sense to work on your own weaknesses as well. Of course, if there is only one move in a position, you should be able to find it. Playstyles are especially important in positions where you have a great choice. However, they also play a role when you choose the type of position, which you should strive for based on your style.Interestingly, a playstyle can also be imitated, which may even be the appropriate strategy against certain opponents. For example, certain characteristics stand out clearly in activists, and being able to adjust to them as an opponent is of course very valuable. A good example is Kramnik's win over activist Kasparov (at the London 2000 world championship match). Since Kramnik always managed to steer the game in the direction appropriate to his style, his big opponent never had the chance to demonstrate his own strengths in positions with attack and initiative.While 'The Human Factor' was about a clear distinction of the four playing styles, this book aims to emphasize the universality of each player. After solving the tasks tailored to the four player types, it becomes clear how your own competencies are distributed. Accordingly, GM Vincent Keymer states in his foreword:"Even if the further development of one's own player personality to a universal player who unites all player types may remain a utopia, it's still worth pursuing."

"Articles in this book overflow with humour and thought-provoking jokes. The way Araka twists and plays around with the names of public figures, their actions and inactions, and blends it with the joys and disappointments of 'ordinary' citizens is on another level. The style is readable and appealing.The articles revolve around the novel Coronavirus disease. This is a time to be told and retold to present and future generations." - Rose Kong'ani Keya, Book Editor and Teacher. "The author has banked on wordplay to offer his contribution in chronicling a critical moment in our lives when COVID-19 threw the world into panic and confusion. The book tells of humanity's inadequacies, hits and misses. Through his trademark satire, Araka shows that as human beings, wedeserve better and can do better even when caught up in difficulties. - Dr. Edna Thamm, Gutenbergschule, Leipzig."Many occurrences happen in everyday life and can go unnoticed despite being significant. Araka is a gifted writer that makes such occurrences memorable through satire and humour. The themes in the articles including political manipulations, exploitation, corruption, family relations, hypocrisy, traditions, and modern technology are well intertwined in the writer's rich narrative style with vivid descriptions that capture the reader to achievereading this collection in the shortest time possible.

Endlich gibt es neue Lisbeth-Geschichten! Im bereits 4. Band mit humorigen Lisbeth-Geschichten von Usch Hollman lässt Lisbeth ihre Freundin Änne per Telefon wieder an ihrem Leben teilhaben. Diesmal besonders an aktuellen Geschehnissen, die meist vom Essen handeln - etwa von gelungenen oder missratenen Mahlzeiten, von Festessen mit lästigen Tischreden, Restaurantbesuchen oder alten und neuen Tischgebeten. "Bei Anton seine Tante Irmgard wird bis auf¿n heutigen Tag vor¿m Essen gebetet - wat bei ihre Kochkunst allerdings auch dringend nötig is ..." Das Büchsken sollten alle münsterländischen Männer ihren Frauen schenken - gaaanz uneigennützig natürlich. Denn in 26 Geschichten von A wie "Adeliges Essen" bis Z wie "Zuckerstoß" hört man es zwischen den Zeilen manchmal geradezu in der Pfanne brutzeln, z. B. wenn Oma Schulte Kartoffelpannekoken bäckt. Auch wenn von Pfefferpotthast, frischem Stielmus oder Essen "quer durche Speisekammer" die Rede ist, weckt das schnell Heißhunger ... Wie in den vorangegangenen drei Lisbeth-Büchern, die bislang in 14 Auflagen erschienen sind, widmet sich die regionale Erfolgsautorin wieder liebevoll-ironisch den Menschen des Münsterlandes und diesmal besonders deren Gerichten und Geschmäckern - und natürlich wieder in münsterländischem Idiom. Garniert mit liebevollen Cartoons von Sanja Saftic ein unverzichtbares Lesevergnügen ¿ auch für Heimweh-Westfalen.

In designing this book, the author was guided by the following considerations. If you want to learn this or that opening, you can choose from dozens or even hundreds of textbooks. But what if you want to get familiar with the middlegame strategy used in positions that have emerged from exactly this or that opening? Or to put it another way: in positions that are typical for this or that opening.Of course, in every middlegame textbook there's one or the other position that clearly comes from this or that opening. However, their number is negligible in the context of example positions from all the other openings whose middlegame treatment the reader doesn't want to learn at all.For example, aren't the issues of hanging pawns and minority attack - the author asks with good reason - just as dispensable for an e4 player as they are essential for a d4 player? - Why should a die-hard enthusiast of Indian openings care about the strategic intricacies of positions resulting from all those complicated Queen's Gambit systems? And of course vice versa: what use are all these subtleties of Indian positions to a player who 'by nature' avoids fianchetto openings?And it's precisely this conspicuous and astounding vacuum in the area of middlegame literature that inspired the author to make a appropriate attempt at improvement: If you want to learn Sicilian middlegame strategy, you will get a textbook and exercise book in which only Sicilians are treated.However, this current book only deals with the type 'Open Sicilian'. More precisely: with positions characterized by the 'small center' consisting of the pawns on d6 and e6, which is typical for the vast majority of Sicilian systems.It deserves special mention that the more than 150 exercises have been assigned to specific topics for the benefit of entertaining diversity - for example 'the relegation candidate', 'the only move', 'violence or pressure increase' and the like.
