The Invincible Mogul Skier - by Michael L Mead (Hardcover)
Number of Pages: 362Genre: Sports + RecreationSub-Genre: SkiingFormat: HardcoverPublisher: Michael L MeadAge Range: AdultAuthor: Michael L MeadLanguage: English About the Book This is an informative walkthrough of the mechanics, application, and psychology of mogul skiing. Book Synopsis The mogul skiing mechanics and strategies you will learn in this book are the same ones used by the very best competitive mogul skiers in the world. The author, a former competitive mogul skier himself, has spent over 15 years developing and refining the mogul skiing MECHANICS, APPLICATIONS, and PSYCHOLOGY that make up the bulk of this work. The "New Mogul Method" is a systematic approach that Michael Mead developed over many years to bring together these different aspects in real-time. It was developed by a competitive mogul skier for the benefit of competitive mogul skiers, tested and vetted by competitive mogul skiers. It is the most effective, systematic, easy to implement, and reliable mogul skiing strategy there is. "The Invincible Mogul Skier is full of great insights and very specific knowledge. If someone wants to learn to mogul ski, this book is a great resource! Michael and I share a passion for mogul skiing and it was fun sharing my experiences with him. It was a pleasure working with him!" -Bryon Wilson, Olympic Bronze Medalist, Team USA Review Quotes "The Invincible Mogul Skier is full of great insights and very specific knowledge. If someone wants to learn to mogul ski, this book is a great resource! Michael and I share a passion for mogul skiing and it was fun sharing my experiences with him. It was a pleasure working with him!" -Bryon Wilson (Olympic Bronze Medalist, Team USA)"There are three major details I remember from my time skiing with Mike, among many more intricacies. First, Mike's hands-on method of isolating body parts (shoulders, elbows, hips, quads, knees, etc.) on the hill, to put the skier in the ideal aggressive body position, is a method I still use today in my own skiing, as well as when teaching others. Second, the importance of intensity and confidence in jump takeoffs that Mike instilled in me. I'm reminded of a day at A-Basin, in the spring, I finally nailed a takeoff for my "cork 7." And lastly, the push it sometimes takes from an external source to innovate, try something new, and ultimately progress, even if it scares you. Example: Mike pushed us all to try a new trick on the spot...the only front flip I've done in a true mogul course to date. Good memories thinking back on our days ripping (Breckenridge) together. Thank you Mike for your influence and help in my career all those years ago." -Dylan Walczyk (World Cup Medalist, Team USA)"You (are) still one of my favorite coaches. I miss seeing you around. I have wanted this all my life and now I'm ready to secure my spot at this month's World Cup!" -Bruce Perry Jr. (World Cup Skier, Team USA)"Mike Mead was more than just a coach to me... He inspired me to find freedom and happiness on and off the slopes. He always encouraged a positive outlook on things... He inspired me to push myself, and to celebrate even the smallest of victories. He was a very fast, aggressive skier and he gave me the secret to not only speed, but to the right attitude as well." -Lindsey Eckhoff (Nor-Am Skier, Ranked 11th place in USA, 2015)"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone, and this could not hold any truer to the teachings of Coach Mike Mead. For me, the most influential step from his process was easily to "scare myself." This is one of the most difficult things to do consciously, but once accomplished, opened me up to a world of possibilities. It taught me that not every crash is season ending and that every victory tastes sweeter when you knew you gave everything you had and a little more. Whether you set out to better a personal best or conquer the skier next to you, the first step is to scare yourself. Mike was the most inspirational yet frustrating coaches I have ever encountered in my time as a Mogul skier. He consistently demanded more of me than I thought physically possible, but I always knew that he would never ask me to attempt anything he didn't think I was capable of. With most coaches they ask you to perform a task they themselves could not complete. However, Mike was not only able to display the skills he was teaching but could break down his process in depth to the point where a basic knowledge of physics would be necessary to fully grasp the lesson. One of which was the concept of the glass plate. It took me years to fully understand what he was asking me to do but once I felt myself getting set on it, I knew I needed to stay stacked and relax my mind and body. Without his coaching I never would have been able to ski at the level I obtained." -Matt Didonato (Holiday Valley Freestyle Team, USA)

Book Synopsis Practical everyday magic spells for the young fans of Harry Potter, Descendants, Sofia the First, and other books and films of the magic fantasy genre. These spells use only safe everyday objects and substances you have at home or outside (like milk, sugar, salt, mirror, a ring, a ribbon, tree leaves, rocks, etc.); absolutely no use of fire, or anything gross, or any ingredients or items you may not have in your kitchen at the moment (like rosewater, or sage, or a crystal ball). These spells are not based on any witchcraft, New Age, or esoteric religion, lore or rituals. This is fantasy-fiction-style educational activity material for kids ages 7-12, that helps them develop imagination, and engage in fantasy play which is vital for their intellectual and emotional development; Introduces to them a few facts of math, sciences, and history; Helps develop their interest in reading, and grow their reading fluency with an easy, 1st-2nd grade core vocabulary. If a kid in your life runs around waving a magic wand, talks about "dark chronicles," "immortal secrets, " dragons and hidden chambers filled with ancient manuscripts... If your kid recites Harry Potter spells in pseudo-Latin, and mixes magic potions in your kitchen sink... Your kid is ready for magic training. Buy this spell book for that child without delay! Your young magician will stop wasting your dish detergent, and start using actual classical Latin to punctuate his/her powerful spells. By the way, is this kid resistant to reading? Well, resistance is futile when you are dealing with a real ancient hands-on practical spell book, where you read a couple sentences, then do what you've just read about, then read again, and do again, read-do, read-do.... Just like the ancients who made most of the great discoveries in math, the sciences, and arts in pursuit of magic, your child will play with the ideas of intelligence in nature, and the great unknown beyond, and develop curiosity about the world. Upon working with this 30-page book, your student of magic arts will know a fact or two about sciences and history, will be able to recite the Pythagorean Theorem and the Fibonacci Sequence (no kidding), and will answer many questions you've always had, like: How to find the North star?Why does your breath fog up the mirror?Who introduced Arabic numerals to replace Roman Numerals in Medieval Europe?What kind of writing system did Ancient Egyptians have?What are fractals?Who spoke Latin (besides Harry Potter at Hogwarts)?What is divination?How numerologists predict the future?Who was Pythagoras?When were the Middle Ages?What is an Ankh?What are the phases of the Moon?What are the directions of the wind in your area?Why do oil and water never mix?...And more! Currently residing in New York City, I've spent my life doing magic and taming dragons at home and at work. With an M.A, in Linguistics and years spent perusing Gothic manuscripts in underground library cells at universities on both sides of the Atlantic, I have a decent command of classical Latin and Greek, with a few European languages thrown in. But the most important thing about me is that I am the mother of a magic-obssessed 6-year old. My son hates reading, but he will read if the book contains the secret magical lore not available on Disney Channel, or in his Catholic school curriculum. I started writing this book for him during summer vacation, to help him get fluent in reading, so that one day he may understand that the only magic in the world that opens all doors is...knowledge.

The album explores themes of love and romance, isolation, media criticism and social issues. The album was an extensive effort and took approximately three years to make. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Guest artists appearing on the album include Santana, Slash, Notorious B.I.G., Brandy, and Teddy Riley. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Jackson, singing in the third person with a jagged intensity, narrates the story of a couple trapped in an unnamed threatening situation: 'Whatever happens,' they tell each other, 'don't let go of my hand.' The music is Latin-based, a deep brew of Jeremy Lubbock's strings and Carlos Santana's guitar. Jackson and producer Teddy Riley make something really handsome and smart: They allow you to concentrate on the track's momentous rhythms, Santana's passionate interjections and Lubbock's wonderfully arranged symphonic sweeps. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - James Hunter, Rolling Stone & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Diamond Celebration Picture Disc & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Double LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Mister Invincible: Local Hero - by Pascal Jousselin (Paperback)

Book Synopsis "Mister Invincible doesn't just fight villains. He shows us why comics delight us." - Gene Luen Yang via The New York Times Bologna Ragazzi Award Winner 2020A Junior Library Guild Selection 2020Featured in The New York TimesBooklist Starred ReviewKirkus Starred ReviewPublishers Weekly Starred Review There's a new superhero in town -- Mr. Invincible! Sure, he wears a mask and cape and helps widows and orphans as any self-respecting hero would, but he also thwarts the mad scientists and bad guys with his amazing super-power that makes him the only true comic book hero: he can reach outside the comic strip panels to affect both space and time! By breaking the boundaries of 'comic book physics' he and his companions are able to do amazing things that are only possible thanks to the magic of comics! A wholly unique and creative twist on conventional comic-book reading experience, this wacky Middle Grade title will put your imagination to the test! Review Quotes "It may be my favorite comic of 2020." - Betsy Bird (A Fuse #8 Production, An SLJ Blog) NEW YORK TIMES - "Mister Invincible's team ultimately saves the day not with cosmic punches or fancy utility belts but by knowing just how fun it is to exist in panels on a printed page. Perhaps that is the lesson Mister Invincible teaches us longtime fans. The future of comic books lies not in ever flashier superpowers but in the wonders of the medium itself." GOOD COMICS FOR KIDS BLOG (SLJ) -- This wacky title puts a creative twist on conventional comic book reading that middle school readers will love. BOOKLIST (STARRED) -- He may be "the only true comic book superhero," but the chubby, yellow-clad Mister Invincible has humble aspirations: rescuing a cat in a tree, bringing baguettes to his grandma, foiling the occasional mad scientist. Similarly, a casual flip-through of this book, with its uneventfully standard panel grids, might suggest a run-of-the-mill tale. But it takes no longer than the second panel for the character and the book to astonish, as Mister Invincible looks down in his kitchen and spots a mugging in progress on the tier of panels right below him, then leaps down into the lower panel to intervene. This French import gives new meaning to thinking outside the box, as mainstays of comics structure become opportunities for breathtaking formalist experimentation-transposing space and time, abstracting the solid, solidifying the abstract-tomind-bending effect. Alternating one-page vignettes and extended masterpieces, Jousselin breathes joyous life into the form for fans and scholars of every age, and just when you think the device has run its course, he deploys another stupendous surprise. Neither does he let it all rest on his acumen; a charmingly deadpan hero, a sly sense of humor, and a good-natured, community-minded spirit are all visualized with clean, clear, expert cartooning and welcomingly classical figures. A wonderfully generous work displaying an unbridled love of the form. KIRKUS (STARRED) -- Need ice? Cat up a tree? Giant robot on the attack? There's no job too large or too small for "the one and only true comic book superhero!" Masked, caped, chubby, and imperturbable, Mister Invincible earns his moniker here in dozens of mind- and narrative-bending graphic mini-adventures thanks to his unique power to reach or chuck things into neighboring panels above or below. Catch a speedy thief? Mister Invincible nimbly drops into the next row! Foil a mad scientist's "mega-virus"? Just roll a lawn mower into the adjacent panel's microscopic world. Being clever as well as able to clobber unsuspecting villains from a later scene, Mister Invincible can even take on adversaries like Old Grandpa Jack, who can hurl words-or, more precisely, dialogue balloons-to damaging effect, and the Jester, a would-be supervillain capable of darting suddenly into view from the subsequent page and vanishing the same way. Jousselin too shows uncommon cleverness, as all these exploits and hijinks require exact, frequently ingenious placement of figures on both the same and neighboring pages to make them work. As Mister Invincible explains to one mystified witness, "It's just the incredible magic of comics, ma'am." The episodes in this French import, all drawn cartoon-style (with colors by Croix) in rows of squared-off panels, run one to 15 pages each. Mister Invincible presents White; there is a handful of secondary characters of color. PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (STARRED) -- Jousselin takes full advantage of the comics format to introduce Mr. Invincible-"the one and only true comic book superhero!"-who utilizes "the incredible magic of comics" in his heroics. Jumping between panels to affect a story line's previous and future moments ("Time is space, and space is time"), the yellow-clad superhero considers no job too small, whether saving a cat (reaching down a panel to pluck it out of a treetop), confronting killer robots (bashing them with a mop through surrounding panels), or picking up a baguette for his grandmother (sending a note at the end of the strip to himself at the beginning). Single-page shorts, interspersed with longer tales, constitute most of this collection and serve to show all the ways Mr. Invincible creates an oft lighthearted meta narrative. Told in an art style reminiscent of Sunday comic strips and heavily rooted in visual gags, the vignettes aptly work outside the traditional box-er, panel-to explore a range of themes, including the value of hard work (Mr. Invincible learns early on in life not to use his powers to cheat), the dangers of corporate greed (a CEO embraces pollution to gain money and power), and the consequences of amassing military power (the U.S. attempts to weaponize a hero). Mr. Invincible, grounded and irreverent of his status as a major superhero, exudes infectious charm as he inspires those around him. Ages 9-12.

The Invincible Mogul Skier - by Michael L Mead (Paperback)
Number of Pages: 362Genre: Sports + RecreationSub-Genre: Winter SportsFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Michael L MeadAge Range: AdultAuthor: Michael L MeadLanguage: English About the Book This is an informative walkthrough of the mechanics, application, and psychology of mogul skiing. Book Synopsis The mogul skiing mechanics and strategies you will learn in this book are the same ones used by the very best competitive mogul skiers in the world. The author, a former competitive mogul skier himself, has spent over 15 years developing and refining the mogul skiing MECHANICS, APPLICATIONS, and PSYCHOLOGY that make up the bulk of this work. The "New Mogul Method" is a systematic approach that Michael Mead developed over many years to bring together these different aspects in real-time. It was developed by a competitive mogul skier for the benefit of competitive mogul skiers, tested and vetted by competitive mogul skiers. It is the most effective, systematic, easy to implement, and reliable mogul skiing strategy there is."The Invincible Mogul Skier is full of great insights and very specific knowledge. If someone wants to learn to mogul ski, this book is a great resource! Michael and I share a passion for mogul skiing and it was fun sharing my experiences with him. It was a pleasure working with him!" -Bryon Wilson (Olympic Bronze Medalist, Team USA) Review Quotes "The Invincible Mogul Skier is full of great insights and very specific knowledge. If someone wants to learn to mogul ski, this book is a great resource! Michael and I share a passion for mogul skiing and it was fun sharing my experiences with him. It was a pleasure working with him!" -Bryon Wilson (Olympic Bronze Medalist, Team USA) "There are three major details I remember from my time skiing with Mike, among many more intricacies. First, Mike's hands-on method of isolating body parts (shoulders, elbows, hips, quads, knees, etc.) on the hill, to put the skier in the ideal aggressive body position, is a method I still use today in my own skiing, as well as when teaching others. Second, the importance of intensity and confidence in jump takeoffs that Mike instilled in me. I'm reminded of a day at A-Basin, in the spring, I finally nailed a takeoff for my "cork 7." And lastly, the push it sometimes takes from an external source to innovate, try something new, and ultimately progress, even if it scares you. Example: Mike pushed us all to try a new trick on the spot...the only front flip I've done in a true mogul course to date. Good memories thinking back on our days ripping (Breckenridge) together. Thank you Mike for your influence and help in my career all those years ago." -Dylan Walczyk (World Cup Medalist, Team USA) "You (are) still one of my favorite coaches. I miss seeing you around. I have wanted this all my life and now I'm ready to secure my spot at this month's World Cup!" -Bruce Perry Jr. (World Cup Skier, Team USA) "Mike is a bit of a Renaissance man." -David Colturi (Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series Event Champion, Team USA) "Mike Mead was more than just a coach to me... He inspired me to find freedom and happiness on and off the slopes. He always encouraged a positive outlook on things... He inspired me to push myself, and to celebrate even the smallest of victories. He was a very fast, aggressive skier and he gave me the secret to not only speed, but to the right attitude as well."-Lindsey Eckhoff (Nor-Am Skier, Ranked 11th place in USA, 2015) "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone, and this could not hold any truer to the teachings of Coach Mike Mead. For me, the most influential step from his process was easily to "scare myself." This is one of the most difficult things to do consciously, but once accomplished, opened me up to a world of possibilities. It taught me that not every crash is season ending and that every victory tastes sweeter when you knew you gave everything you had and a little more. Whether you set out to better a personal best or conquer the skier next to you, the first step is to scare yourself. Mike was the most inspirational yet frustrating coaches I have ever encountered in my time as a Mogul skier. He consistently demanded more of me than I thought physically possible, but I always knew that he would never ask me to attempt anything he didn't think I was capable of. With most coaches they ask you to perform a task they themselves could not complete. However, Mike was not only able to display the skills he was teaching but could break down his process in depth to the point where a basic knowledge of physics would be necessary to fully grasp the lesson. One of which was the concept of the glass plate. It took me years to fully understand what he was asking me to do but once I felt myself getting set on it, I knew I needed to stay stacked and relax my mind and body. Without his coaching I never would have been able to ski at the level I obtained."-Matt Didonato (Holiday Valley Freestyle Team, USA)

Book Synopsis A space cruiser, in search of its sister ship, encounters beings descended from self-replicating machines.In the grand tradition of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, Stanislaw Lem's The Invincible tells the story of a space cruiser sent to an obscure planet to determine the fate of a sister spaceship whose communication with Earth has abruptly ceased. Landing on the planet Regis III, navigator Rohan and his crew discover a form of life that has apparently evolved from autonomous, self-replicating machines--perhaps the survivors of a "robot war." Rohan and his men are forced to confront the classic quandary: what course of action can humanity take once it has reached the limits of its knowledge? In The Invincible, Lem has his characters confront the inexplicable and the bizarre: the problem that lies just beyond analytical reach. Review Quotes "Mr. Lem was a giant of mid-20th-century science fiction, in a league with Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, and Philip K. Dick." --New York TimesThe release of these new volumes seems to expand the possibilities of what a university publisher can do.--LitHubFourteen years after his death, the universe is still struggling to catch up with the vast creative force that was Stanislaw Lem. And for my money, it won't be surpassing him anytime soon...Enjoying the genius of Lem requires readerly dexterity and a willingness to go wherever the author takes you...These marvelous, absorbing and often hilarious books make our weary universe seem pale and undistinguished by comparison.--The Washington Post About the Author Stanislaw Lem (1921-2006), a writer called "worthy of the Nobel Prize" by the New York Times, was an internationally renowned author of novels, short stories, literary criticism, and philosophical essays. His books have been translated into forty-four languages and have sold more than thirty million copies. N.
