How is it that one can be connected to a vast worldwide network of other people and places via digital technologies and yet also be completely alone? Kris Cohen tackles this philosophical question in Never Alone, Except for Now by exploring how contemporary technologies are changing group formations and affiliations within social life. He identifies a new form of collectivity that exists between publics, which are built through conscious acts, and populations, which are automatically constructed through the collection of Big Data. Finding traditional liberal concepts of the public sphere and neoliberal ideas of populations inadequate on their own to examine these new forms of sociality, Cohen places familiar features of the web—such as emoticons, trolling, and search engines—in conversation with artworks by Felix Gonzalez-Torres, William Gibson, Sharon Hayes, and Thomson & Craighead to more precisely articulate the affective and aesthetic experiences of living between publics and populations. This liminal experience—caught between existing as a set of data points and as individuals newly empowered to create their own online communities—explains, Cohen contends, how one is simultaneously alone and connected in ways never before possible.

I Was Never Alone or Oporniki by Cassandra Hartblay Pdf
I Was Never Alone or Oporniki presents an original ethnographic stage play, based on fieldwork conducted in Russia with adults with disabilities. The core of the work is the script of the play itself, which is accompanied by a description of the script development process, from the research in the field to rehearsals for public performances. In a supporting essay, the author argues that both ethnography and theatre can be understood as designs for being together in unusual ways, and that both practices can be deepened by recognizing the vibrant social impact of interdependency animated by vulnerability, as identified by disability theorists and activists.
This is a true story of the life of MaryAnn Westgard in her own words and as she lived it. It is a story of how alcoholism can destroy a family and cause consequences that last a lifetime. It is a story filled with love, adventure, mystery, intrigue and betrayal.A story of ups and downs and lessons learnt. A story of finally coming to terms with who I am and why I am here. Of realizing that I was here for a reason and that God had my back. Through thick and thin He was there, even when I ran from Him, He never let me go. How I finally found peace. I hope that others can benefit from hearing my story and that they will be blessed by it. Realizing that one must never give up, no matter how bad things look, the storm will pass and the sun will shine again.
A classic account of courage, integrity, and most of all, belonging In 1977, Natan Sharansky, a leading activist in the democratic dissident movement in the Soviet Union and the movement for free Jewish emigration, was arrested by the KGB. He spent nine years as a political prisoner, convicted of treason against the state. Every day, Sharansky fought for individual freedom in the face of overt tyranny, a struggle that would come to define the rest of his life. Never Alone reveals how Sharansky's years in prison, many spent in harsh solitary confinement, prepared him for a very public life after his release. As an Israeli politician and the head of the Jewish Agency, Sharansky brought extraordinary moral clarity and uncompromising, often uncomfortable, honesty. His story is suffused with reflections from his time as a political prisoner, from his seat at the table as history unfolded in Israel and the Middle East, and from his passionate efforts to unite the Jewish people. Written with frankness, affection, and humor, the book offers us profound insights from a man who embraced the essential human struggle: to find his own voice, his own faith, and the people to whom he could belong.

Elizabeth Haynes' new psychological thriller is a brilliantly suspenseful and shocking story in which nothing is at it seems, but everything is at stake. Sarah Carpenter lives in an isolated farmhouse in North Yorkshire and for the first time, after the death of her husband some years ago and her children, Louis and Kitty, leaving for university, she's living alone. But she doesn't consider herself lonely. She has two dogs, a wide network of friends and the support of her best friend, Sophie. When an old acquaintance, Aiden Beck, needs somewhere to stay for a while, Sarah's cottage seems ideal; and renewing her relationship with Aiden gives her a reason to smile again. It's supposed to be temporary, but not everyone is comfortable with the arrangement: her children are wary of his motives, and Will Brewer, an old friend of her son's, seems to have taken it upon himself to check up on Sarah at every opportunity. Even Sophie has grown remote and distant. After Sophie disappears, it's clear she hasn't been entirely honest with anyone, including Will, who seems more concerned for Sarah's safety than anyone else. As the weather closes in, events take a dramatic turn and Kitty too goes missing. Suddenly Sarah finds herself in terrible danger, unsure of who she can still trust. But she isn't facing this alone; she has Aiden, and Aiden offers the protection that Sarah needs. Doesn't he?
How does coding change the way we think about architecture? This question opens up an important research perspective. In this book, Miro Roman and his AI Alice_ch3n81 develop a playful scenario in which they propose coding as the new literacy of information. They convey knowledge in the form of a project model that links the fields of architecture and information through two interwoven narrative strands in an “infinite flow” of real books. Focusing on the intersection of information technology and architectural formulation, the authors create an evolving intellectual reflection on digital architecture and computer science.

YOU ARE NEVER ALONE is for all spiritual seekers. Not a one of us is ever alone. We all came into this lifetime on Earth accompanied by a host of loving, understanding Spirit friends, who are with us every moment of every day and night, waiting patiently to assure us that no matter how lost and alone we feel, we are truly not alone; we are, in fact, loved, cared for, and protected forever. How marvelous to know that gentle, compassionate, loving guidance is as close as the air we breathe! We have only to listen for the voices of our Spirit friends, who want to help us remember the Real Spiritual Truth of our God-created Beings. Like many of you, I grew up in a confusing, tumultuous home filled not with loving support and encouragement, but with anger, hatred, and abuse. As a child and teenager, I believed the only way to escape was to leave home and go off on my own. I managed to put myself through college and was thrilled to begin a career in my chosen field, yet, inside, I still did not feel the way I wanted to feel. In desperation, I began to search for a way to heal the anxiety and depression I was suffering from. My path to wholeness was not easy and back then, not a great deal of help was available. Eventually, I did find answers and over the years, have evolved from the frightened lost soul I used to be . . . the scared young woman who was afraid to speak up, or even to feel my own feelings . . . to one who can relax and even assert herself when necessary. By learning how to communicate with my loving Spirit Guides and to know that my Guardian Angels are always nearby to help and protect me, fear is no longer a part of my life. I now feel confident and assured of my rightful place in this magnificent Universe that God created for each of us to enjoy! Many wonderful books on this subject have already been written. However, in my quest to uncover the truth, I found that too often they generally just tell the seeker where they "should" be in their spiritual journey and how they "should" be feeling. Because I was not yet "there" I came away feeling guilty for my failure to already be the person the author declared I should be. The Gentle Reminders in YOU ARE NEVER ALONE remind you of the Truths that, deep down in your heart, you already know. But because we have all spent many years and lifetimes wandering around in the dark, our human hearts and minds are filled with a host of unexamined beliefs, painful memories, guilt over past failures, and faded dreams for a better future. Most of the Gentle Reminders in YOU ARE NEVER ALONE were given to me by my Spirit Friends. All will gently help you recognize how your old unhealthy beliefs are no longer serving you; and how to bring them to conscious awareness to be transformed by love. These Spiritual Truths will help you as they have helped me. They will allow you to relax and enjoy a peaceful, love-filled life. No matter where you are now on your spiritual journey, these Gentle Reminders will lovingly guide and lead you along the path to your True Divine Destiny. A peaceful, joyous, life upon this Earth is right now awaiting your discovery. The Gentle Reminders in YOU ARE NEVER ALONE will truly help you. May God bless and comfort each of you as you search out the truths you seek. "This book touched me deeply. Wonderful and thoughtful. You will be glad you read it." --5 Star Review. "A great read that needs to be recognized. It serves as a self help guide to remembering who we truly are. I often turn to this book when I find myself feeling overwhelmed." --5 Star Review. YOU ARE NEVER ALONE is also available in print from major online bookstores.
Does your life seem to be empty, without meaning and/or purpose? Is the intense feeling of emptiness driving you into substance abuse, alcohol or promiscuous activities? Do you feel abandoned, because family and friends have distanced themselves from you? Maybe your testimony as a Christian has opened the flood gates of satan to drown the life out of you and you just don’t feel you can make it any more, because it’s too much for you to bear. Well, listen to this. The God that I serve, His name is Jehovah. He is greater than the adversity you are facing. You are not alone! From a divine perspective, I say this to you: Fight the good fight of faith! Hold on to the faithfulness of God’s Word and endure difficulties without wavering. And then, according to 1 Peter 5:10, “...may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen and settle you.” Glory to God!!! YOU ARE NOT ALONE! God will transform your loneliness into infinite happiness. No amount of friends, social gatherings, family get-togethers, movies, sports or lovers can ever fill the inner void from which loneliness originates. Only God can. When all our entertainments and “busy-ness” fail us, it’s time to look outside ourselves to our heavenly Father, Jehovah. Because He lives, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY NEVER ALONE!
