0 Excusas Fitness!: No hay excusas, BAR NONE!! ... TAN SOLO HÁGALO!

¿Sabes cuál es el mayor problema que afecta a la gente hoy en día? No se trata tanto de la aptitud física como de la vida, y ese problema es, en pocas palabras, "HACER EXCUSAS GALORE". No tengo tiempo para entrenar. Los gimnasios del barrio son demasiado caros. Esos estiramientos son demasiado difíciles. Oh, y... ah, ¿por qué no hacerlo mañana? Y así sucesivamente. Las excusas, amigo mío, son la razón por la que la mayoría de la gente nunca se pone en marcha en ese camino hacia el super fitness, la salud y la FORTALEZA - tanto desde el interior como desde el exterior, y ZERO EXCUSES FITNESS no te da la oportunidad de hacer ninguna excusa! En otras palabras, su instrucción de fitness que funciona a toda máquina, siempre y cuando no se hagan EXCUSAS. NADA - repito NADA - es necesario para que usted pueda hacer estos ejercicios. NINGÚN equipo, NINGÚN gimnasio, ni siquiera las tan cacareadas "pelotas suizas" u otros aparatos o aparatos abdominales "fancy shmancy" (que no valen ni siquiera la hora del día en que te pasas mirando los anuncios, para ser honesto). Y no, ni siquiera necesitas una barra de mentón para la mayoría de los ejercicios que he mostrado. Los pull-ups son geniales, pero NO son necesarios. Deja de poner excusas - y coge tu copia AHORA - y mira todo un NUEVO mundo abierto a ti en términos de salud, forma física y fuerza EN GENERAL. Por tu ÉXITO! Rahul Mookerjee

0 to 9 and the New York Avant-Garde: Publishing by Numbers (New Directions in Book History)

Edited and self-published by Bernadette Mayer and Vito Acconci from 1967 to 1969, 0 to 9 not only documented some of the most compelling examples of intermedia performance, contemporary poetry, and post-formalist art of the period, but also pioneered new ways of conceiving (and using) the magazine as medium and instrument. 0 to 9 and the New York Avant-Garde: Publishing by Numbers examines how the magazine both responded to and helped shape key developments in New York&’s often fractious avant-garde communities. The book pays particular attention to the ways in which Mayer and Acconci foregrounded the material and generic qualities of the magazine and conceived their periodical as a means of generating (as well as documenting) art and poetry. 0 to 9 and the New York Avant-Garde considers the ways in which 0 to 9 interacted with other artistic movements and theoretical concerns of the period—including cybernetics, Pop Art, structuralism, and information theory. Arguing for the enduring importance of the magazine, and its unique position in the history of New York&’s experimental art and literary scenes, this study contends that 0 to 9 was both a swan song of 1960s idealism and a precursor for the directions that avant-garde art would take in the decades that followed the magazine&’s demise.

03: A Novel

"From the bus stop across the street, it was hard to tell, but suddenly I understood, seeing the passengers in the van that picked her up every morning, that she was slightly retarded."A precocious teenager in a French suburb finds himself powerfully, troublingly drawn to the girl he sees every day on the way to school. As he watches and thinks about her, his daydreams—full of lyrics from Joy Division and the Smiths, fairy tales, Flowersfor Algernon, sexual desire and fear, loneliness, rage for escape, impatience to grow up—reveal an entire adolescence. And this fleeting erotic obsession, remembered years later, blossoms into a meditation on what it means to be a smart kid, what it means to be dumb, and what it means to be in love with another person. 03 is a book about young love like none you have ever read. It marks the English-language debut of a unique French writer—one of the great stylists of his generation.

At 03:02 on a Sunday morning, the world as we knew it came to an end. Mumbai suddenly went black — no electricity, no phones, no internet and no working cars. It was as if someone had turned off the master switch of our civilization, turning us back hundreds of years overnight. We learned that it was not just Mumbai, but much of the world that had been impacted. We also learned that it was no accident. A deadly enemy was behind it. An enemy that was now in our midst, seeking to conquer us and destroy our way of life. This is how our war for freedom began. A war that was to be waged not on the borders or by the Army, but in our homes and streets, with us as the soldiers.
