In a world of viral ideas and emotion, who gets to control the narrative, who gets to be heard, and what does power really cost?This is the story of the showdown between Elon Musk and Twitter and how the richest man on earth suddenly came to control one of the most powerful media platforms in the world. In Character Limit, award-winning reporters Kate Conger and Ryan Mac draw on exclusive interviews, unreported documents and internal Twitter recordings to provide a revelatory, three-dimensional, and definitive account of what really happened when Musk showed up to takeover Twitter, spoiling for a brawl and intent on revolution, with his merciless, sycophantic cadre of lawyers, investors, and bankers.In part, this is the story of Twitter's founder, Jack Dorsey, who idealistically dreamed of building a 'digital town square' but detested Wall Street and never built a profitable business, and Musk, one of the site's most influential users with over 70 million followers. To Musk, Twitter-once known for its almost absolute commitment to free speech-had utterly lost its way.Blaming it for the proliferation of what he called the "woke mind virus", he claimed that the survival of humanity itself depended on the future of the site.In January 2022, Musk began secretly accumulating Twitter stock. By April, he was its largest shareholder, and, soon after, he made an unsolicited offer to purchase the company for the unimaginable sum of $44 billion. Backed into a corner, Twitter's board accepted his offer-only for Musk to change his mind, forcing Twitter to sue him.Drawing on unparalleled sources, this is the defining story of our time told in vivid, cinematic detail.

Audiokniha: Máchovo básnické i prozaické dílo bylo silným inspiračním zdrojem režiséra a skladatele Emila Františka Buriana. Ten v roce stého výročí básníkovy smrti dramatizoval román Křivoklad - první díl zamýšlené tetralogie, jejímž hrdinou byl kat ve službách krále Václava IV. Burian přenesl v roce 1936 inscenaci z jeviště svého Déčka do studia pražského Radijournalu, odkud byla - jak bylo tehdy zvykem - vysílána živě. V roce 1965 se k dramatizaci vrátil Burianův žák, režisér Josef Henke, který do titulní role obsadil "burianovského" herce Vladimíra Šmerala. Osoby a obsazení: Básník (Otakar Brousek), Kat (Vladimír Šmeral), Král Václav (Stanislav Remunda), Miláda (Irena Kačírková), Jan Hus (Josef Patočka), Jaroš (Antonín Zíb), Stivín (Ladislav Kazda), Duchoň (Bohumil Křížek), Honza Nebojímse (Jiří Hurta), Bába (Světla Amortová), Starý rytíř (Karel Beníško), Mladík (Jiří Novotný), Panoš (Jaroslav Kepka), Hlásný (Bedřich Bobek), Jiří, zbrojnoš Václavův (Alfred Strejček), Oldřich, zbrojnoš Václavův (Josef Velda), Beneš (Vladimír Leraus), Jetřich (Bohumil Švarc), Pán z Václavovy družiny (Josef Bláha) a další.

Vzhledem k nízkému věku toho má Jack Ryan za sebou poměrně dost – těžké zranění z války v Afghánistánu, které ho málem doživotně zmrzačilo, náročnou rekonvalescenci, doktorát z ekonomie a práci ekonomického analytika v CIA, kterou před svým okolím a dokonce i před vlastní ženou (Keira Knightley) úspěšně tají. Když zachytí nestandardní operaci provedenou ruským finančním gigantem, pošle ho jeho řídící důstojník (Kevin Costner) do Moskvy, aby na místě zjistil, co se děje. Jack se hned po příletu musí proměnit z finančního úředníka v akčního hrdinu se vším všudy, protože jeho přítomnost v ruské metropoli není vítaná a jeho původně přátelský průvodce mu to dá dost jasně najevo tím, že se ho pokusí zlikvidovat. První kolo Jack přežije a postoupí do druhého – k setkání s oligarchou Viktorem Čerevinem (Kenneth Branagh), který osnuje plán, jenž může zásadně otřást světovou stabilitou. Zdánlivě má k dispozici všechny trumfy, včetně Jackovy ženy, která se impulzivně rozhodla manžela na moskevské služebce překvapit. Pokud má Jack Ryan zachránit svět i svou Kathy, bude se muset z roztřeseného zelenáče proměnit v chladnokrevný stroj, který se nebude bát myslet a střílet najednou.V českém znění: Marek Holý - Chris Pine (Jack Ryan), Zdeněk Mahdal - Kevin Costner (Thomas Harper), Kateřina Lojdová - Keira Knightley (Cathy Mullerová), Otakar Brousek ml. - Kenneth Branagh (Viktor Cherevin), Kateřina Petrová - Gemma Chan (Amy Changová), Václav Knop - Colm Feore (Rob Behringer), Radovan Vaculík - Seth Ayott (Teddy Hefferman), Klára Jandová - Hannah Taylor Gordon (Sarah), Bohdan Tůma - Nonso Anozie (Embee Deng), Svatopluk Schuller - Lenn Kudrjawizki (Constantin), Petr Burian, Apolena Veldová, Antonín Navrátil, Jakub Saic, Zbyšek Horák, Daniel Krejčík, Jaroslav Horák, Jiří BalcárekBonusy:• Vynechané a rozšířené scény (s volitelným komentářem Kennetha Branagha a Lorenza di Bonaventury)• Jack Ryan: Nejchytřejší chlapík v okolí• Sir Keneth Branagh: Car• Jack Ryan: Inteligent v akci• Staří nepřátelé se vracejí• Komentáře Kennetha Branagha a Lorenza di Bonaventury

To his millions of fans worldwide, Ryan Gosling is not just a handsome face that can say "Hey girl!" in a way that makes them go weak at the knees (though he can and does), he is the defining icon of the new Golden Age of cinema, a 21st-century Cary Grant, as macho as he is feminine, with a total of 11 Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations under his belt, and a Golden Globe victory for Best Actor.Since his tenure as a leading man, 20 years ago in The Notebook, Ryan''s films have grossed more than $2 billion dollars, and his next few projects will certainly add to that figure, with Project Hail Mary, Wolf Man, Gray Man 2, and Margot Robbie''s Ocean Eleven reboot keeping him in the La La Land limelight for many years to come.I''m Just Ryan throws a bright spotlight on the actor''s playful and positive sense of humour and philosophy and revels in his ridiculous charm and sexiness with a wealth of iconic quotes and facts about the man - the legend - himself."I did doubt my Kenergy in the beginning. I just wasn''t sure I could do it but I just decided I was going to Ken as hard as I can. I Kenned in the morning; I Kenned at night. If I''m honest, I''m Kenning a little right now."Ryan, on channeling his "Kenergy"."Eva''s the dream mother, and they''re dream babies, and it''s like a dream that I''m having right now. I''m dreaming it all."Ryan, on his wife Eva Mendes.Ryan Gosling''s live performance of "I''m Just Ken" at the 2024 Academy Awards is already considered one of the most iconic moments in Oscars history. Dressed head-to-toe in pink, Ryan stole the show with Guns & Rose guitarist Slash and Mark Ronson, alongside 65 other "Ken''s", and his Barbie co-stars. More than 20 million people tuned in to watch and sales of the song jumped by 900 per cent during the performance.

From the twice Man Booker longlisted author of From a Low and Quiet Sea''Donal Ryan, one of our most remarkable writers, has produced a book of short stories of such visceral power that they hit you in the solar plexus. He deals with the dark side of modern Irish life and produces sentences of titanic impact.'' IRISH MAIL ON SUNDAYAn old man looks into the fearful eyes of a burglar left to guard him while his brother is beaten; an Irish priest in a war-torn Syrian town teaches its young men the art of hurling; the driver of a car which crashed, killing a teenage girl, forges a connection with the girl''s mother; a squad of broken friends assemble to take revenge on a rapist; a young man sets off on his morning run, reflecting on the ruins of his relationship, but all is not as it seems.Donal Ryan''s short stories pick up where his acclaimed novels The Spinning Heart and The Thing About December left off, dealing with the human cost of loneliness, isolation and displacement. Sometimes this is present in the ordinary, the mundane; sometimes it is triggered by a fateful encounter or a tragic decision. At the heart of these stories, crucially, is how people are drawn to each other and cling on to love, often in desperate circumstances.In haunting and often startling prose, Donal Ryan has captured the brutal beauty of the human heart in all its hopes and failings._________''Donal Ryan is a heartbreaker, his quicksilver prose laced with ... wistful rhythms ... These breathtaking stories explore human love against an uneasy landscape of violence and desperation... Donal finds hope in dark corners.'' DAILY MAIL''Donal Ryan is a master of the magnetic first line ... His faithful subject is rural despair; the poetry of adversity, the baffling fortitude of intrinsically decent people ... This collection shows Ryan adding his own elastic yet distinctive voice to O''Connor''s impeccable tradition.'' GUARDIAN

A magisterial, one-volume history of political thought from Herodotus to the present, Ancient Athens to modern democracy - from author and professor Alan RyanThis is a book about the answers that historians, philosophers, theologians, practising politicians and would-be revolutionaries have given to one question: how should human beings best govern themselves? Almost every modern government claims to be democratic; but is democracy really the best way of organising our political life? Can we manage our own affairs at all? Should we even try? In the west, do we actually live in democracies? In this extraordinary book Alan Ryan engages with the great thinkers of the past to show us how vividly their ideas speak to us in today''s uncertain world.ALAN RYAN was born in London in 1940 and taught for many years at Oxford, where he was a Fellow of New College and Reader in Politics. He was Professor of Politics at Princeton from 1988 to 1996, when he returned to Oxford to become Warden of New College and Professor of Political Theory until his retirement in 2009. His previous books include The Philosophy of John Stuart Mill, Bertrand Russell: A Political Life and John Dewey and the High Tide of American Liberalism. He is a Fellow of the British Academy.Reviews of On Politics:''An engaging and smart survey of major political thinkers ... Through Ryan [they] speak directly to the present'' Mark Mazower, Prospect''Ryan''s book is a magnificent piece of work, clear (even when the ideas he''s exploring are obscure) and engaging (even when the theory in the original is forbidding) ... anyone remotely interested in political theory will profit from reading or dipping into Ryan''s On Politics, whether this is their first acquaintance with the canon of political theory or whether they have been "Hobbing and Locking" for decades ... It''s a remarkable experience'' Jeremy Waldron, New York Review of Books''Ambitiously and elegantly covers two and a half millennia of political thinking ... despite covering huge intellectual terrain, [On Politics] a delight both when it explores detail and also when it draws conclusions of a broader perspective'' Justin Champion, BBC History Magazine''On Politics is crammed with smart observations and wise advice'' John Keane, Financial Times''An impressive achievement'' Economist

She is one of the few American immigrants to return to the Old World. In Tunisia, she detests how her asthma renders her dependent on her aunt, so she works for independence by learning to weave traditional wedding shawls for the Sephardic Jewish community.

However, mafia shootings force his father to close the shop and emigrate to America, abandoning Antonio in the Old World. To avoid slavery under the mafia, Antonio moves in with his uncle, a barber in Tunisia. Antonio swears he will one day return to Sicily and rebuild his family’s barber shop, hoping it will inspire his father to return. He befriends Anna during her regular haircuts and begins to wonder if home is not a place but rather a person. When he accepts a betrothal to his cousin that would enable him to return to Sicily, Antonio must choose between his duty to family and his heart.

The Science of Character makes a bold new claim for the power of the literary by showing how Victorian novelists used fiction to theorize how character forms.  In 1843, the Victorian philosopher John Stuart Mill called for the establishment of a new science, “the science of the formation of character.” Although Mill’s proposal failed as scientific practice, S. Pearl Brilmyer maintains that it found its true home in realist fiction of the period, which employed the literary figure of character to investigate the nature of embodied experience. Bringing to life Mill’s unrealized dream of a science of character, novelists such as George Eliot, Thomas Hardy, and Olive Schreiner turned to narrative to explore how traits and behaviors in organisms emerge and develop, and how aesthetic features—shapes, colors, and gestures—come to take on cultural meaning through certain categories, such as race and sex. Engaged with materialist science and philosophy, these authors transformed character from the liberal notion of the inner truth of an individual into a materially determined figuration produced through shifts in the boundaries between the body’s inside and outside. In their hands, Brilmyer argues, literature became a science, not in the sense that its claims were falsifiable or even systematically articulated, but in its commitment to uncovering, through a fictional staging of realistic events, the laws governing physical and affective life. The Science of Character redraws late Victorian literary history to show how women and feminist novelists pushed realism to its aesthetic and philosophical limits in the crucial span between 1870 and 1920.

An edge-of-your-seat thriller from the bestselling author of, Nerve, the book behind 2016's hottest YA film, starring Emma Roberts, Dave Franco & Juliette Lewis. A chance at the ultimate makeover means deadly consequences... Aislyn suffers from crippling shyness - that is, until she’s offered a dose of Charisma, an underground gene therapy drug guaranteed to make her shine. The effects are instant. She’s charming, vivacious, and popular. But strangely, so are some other kids she knows. The media goes into a frenzy when the disease turns contagious, and then deadly, and the doctor who gave it to them disappears. Aislyn must find a way to stop it, before it's too late.Praise for Charisma '...this fast-paced and edgy novel has enough thrills, romance, and family drama to please a wide audience. This Robin Cook–like thriller zips along at breakneck speed to a satisfying conclusion.' Booklist 'Ryan (Nerve) offers a cautionary tale about the perils of designer genetics and what happens when scientists' aspirations get ahead of ethics. Her take on the topic is fresh and intriguing.' Publishers Weekly 'Suspense balances with discussions of bioethics for a provocative and entertaining read. A sympathetic protagonist combines with intriguing medical possibility for a solid thriller.' Kirkus Reviews 'Charisma by Jeanne Ryan is at its best when it gets technical. Considering Ryan has a PHD and has worked with youth development programs and social workers, it’s obvious she knows what she talking about.' Hypable 'Not a far step from Ned Vizzini’s Be More Chill...The science is explained well enough for non-scientist readers to understand, and gives teens much to think about regarding medical ethics and experimentation.' School Library Journal 'The science is both sharp and accessible here, and readers will get a sense of the nuances and messiness of genetic alterations while staying in Aislyn’s world.' BCCB

There is a lot of money to be made at small stakes no-limit hold’em because... surprise, surprise... most of the players aren’t very good.However, few players understand exactly how to exploit these games. Competent players who generally play larger stakes will, of course, beat them. But they won’t beat them for nearly as much as they ought to. Why? Because they don’t understand how to adjust correctly.Playing a solid, competent, decently aggressive style is a strategy that will be profitable. That said, you should not be content with just beating these games - you should be absolutely crushing them. The trick to doing this is to disregard a lot of “correct” poker and get way out of line at the right times. The methods required are far from obvious or intuitive but in Mastering Small Stakes No-Limit Hold’em Jonathan Little explains them in great detail.Jonathan constructs a basic strategy to crush small stakes games and also identifies the adjustments that need to be made when facing more competent opposition.You need this book if...* You frequently play small stakes no-limit hold’em* You usually play larger stakes but (especially live) often have to make do with smaller stakes games* You play tournaments (such as WSOP events) that feature numerous recreational players
