The Woman Who Was Not There by Joelle Taylor SAMPLEBurning Eye
Joelle Taylor is a poet, spoken word artist, playwright and novelist. She is a former UK slam champion and founder and artistic director of the Poetry Society’s national solo youth slam SLAMbassadors UK. She has produced four plays for theatre as well as several texts on performance practice. This is her second poetry collection.
"Joelle observes the reality of modern-day life, pinpoints the absurdities and the injustices, and then reminds us that we are human, and that sometimes the best way to make sense of it is through poetry. The thing I have always liked about Joelle’s poetry is that it has guts, it has rhythm, and it has attitude. The thing I like about this collection is that it continues that tradition.
In these times of austerity, hypocrisy, political corruption, and mindless reality television, we need poetry like this. Joelle Taylor does not mess about. Her poetry is fearless. It gets right to the point.
Her poetry has purpose."
Benjamin Zephaniah
"A city gritty heart-beaten tattoo."
John Hegley
"Joelle Taylor continues to propel poetry in not only innovative but in very crucial ways. Her work launches itself from a world that has been lived in a thousand hapless times, managing to unearth within the reader the deepest sense of tragedy, love and hope."
Anthony Anaxagorou
"The title misleads us, as these are the tumultuously heart-rending words of a woman who is actually very much here, there, everywhere. Joelle Taylor has written an epic collection of raw emotion distilled into a distinctly unique style of language. Put this in your bag, on your tongue, in your chest."
Sabrina Mahfouz
"Joelle Taylor’s a shape-shifter, myth-maker, linguistic risk-taker; poetical activist, surrealist with a raised fist. She knows how to handle a pen. Razor sharp, tattooed or AWOL, her women are the best dressed men. Her material – fractured glass and human skin; the effect – a maze, a mosaic, a hall of mirrors. She redefines the dispossessed, the caged in and gives them a way out."

Please enjoy my novel. If you liked it a lot, I hope you'll go over to Amazon or another ebook retailer and buy it as an ebook. I'm trying a "busker" model....if you like it, in other words, please contribute some money by buying it and that will (hopefully) motivate me to write more novels. Without your support, I'm really not motivated, which is sad, but that's just the way it is.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
8. “I am unfortunate Kalliorista and this girl in front of
me is my favourite slave, Douris. It’s almost three
thousand years that I have stood frozen, motionless
on this marble stone, weeping for my misfortune.
It was the last day of the month Ekatomvaion. I had
once more followed my father Philaretus, a great
copper merchant, on a trading voyage to Cyprus.
Though I was grown-up and married to my beloved
Damocles, I could not spoil my father’s pleasure
who wanted his only daughter with him. And I
followed him on the fatal voyage. That evening after
dining at local ruler Agathocles’ house, we were
attacked by bandits. My father was not able to
protect me despite his will.
9.
10. When they brought my dead body back to Rhodes,
Damocles, inconsolable, blamed himself for having
consented to that voyage. For three days he wept
and let no one approach. On the fourth day he
arranged for this headstone to be made in my
honour. It depicts me and my favourite slave who is
holding this casket with my jewellery.
The people who discovered me treated me with love,
care and attention. They put me in a very nice place,
where lots of people visit me every day. Many of
them try to imitate me and others speak with great
admiration. Every day I can hear the whispers and
laughters of the small visitors who keep me
company until the lights go out and I sink back into
past memories.”
12. “Suddenly my mother dies, bids me farewell for the
next world. Despair, grief, loneliness overwhelm me.
I try to understand and accept my mother’s loss but
I cannot. I know that I am old enough not to need her
care, but I cannot and will not get used to her loss. I
have not learned to live without her. The world
around me is empty, words do not console me.
I can see understanding and compassion in the
faces of the visitors of the museum which eases my
grief a little. But when the doors of the museum
close, grief comes back more intense. The closing
noise of the large door frightens me. But there is
always the next day, tomorrow’s visitors, dear
visitors who console me, who without ever realizing
it give meaning to my existence…”
14. “Hello, I am Asclepius, the greatest god of
Medicine and Health. People loved and honoured
me for my healing abilities. They worshipped me
and honoured me in temples and sanctuaries in
many parts of Greece. My favourite one though is
on Kos, an island near Rhodes. Asclepion is built
on the slope of a low hill full of trees and with a
lovely view of the sea. It was near the ancient city
and was full of admirable donations, works of
famous artists. People came there from all over
the world for me to heal them. I appeared in the
patients’ dreams and suggested their treatment.
15.
16. Now I stand here in a corner, watching
visitors go by me to stand in front of
Aphrodite. Very few notice me. But
sometimes some stand before me, lean
towards me and secretly touch me. Then I am
moved and whisper a secret about healing
power and the magic of art to their ear. Come
and I may tell you too…”
18. “I was born in Rhodes in the 2nd century B.C.
and died young. I was a brave warrior, I died
fighting for my country. This headstone was
made and placed on my tomb to honour me.
A lot has happened since: wars, sieges,
disasters, earthquakes… and I remained
under the ground for centuries, hearing
conquerors pass one after the other over my
dear island. Until I was discovered by
archeologists and now I am in the
archeological museum of Rhodes.
19.
20. I lean against a pillar, hold my helmet, look at it
and remember my previous life and I wonder:
was everything worth it? Is glory more important
than youth and life? Am I happy now? I am tired
of standing up all those years, with this heavy
helmet in my hands, wearing the same clothes,
without shoes… Thousands of visitors pass in
front of me every year. But I like the young
ones. They stand before me, take photographs,
sometimes they try to stand like me. I envy their
youth and unconcern. I want to run behind
them, to tell them to enjoy their life and live it
with enthusiasm and love. But none of this can
be done. When the evening comes, visitors go,
the lights go out and the only thing heard is our
whispers, our sighs…”
22. “I am the Aphrodite of Rhodes, the most
beautiful and famous exhibit of the museum.
The sculptor who created me made me raise
my head as I was bathing in a river and heard
someone call me. I stood like this, surprised
and motionless, watching centuries go by,
conquerors come one after the other,
people’s habits change.
At first, when I was presented to the
Rhodian people, I was very proud because
everyone admired my beauty. A rich
merchant bought me to decorate his garden.
Beautiful times!
23.
24. Until one day the house collapsed in an earthquake and
I was doomed to remain under the ground for several
centuries. When I was rediscovered, I became again
the centre of attention. I escaped plunders and Arab
raids and during the Knights’ Rule I decorated the
garden in the Palace of the Grand Magister. People
came to admire me from all over Europe!
Then, disasters and plunders again, until I ended
up here, in the museum, together with other statues. I
am placed in a glass protective box in the middle of a
room, facing visitors’ admiring eyes. At first I felt a little
awkward about my nudity and my weight. Today women
are tall and thin. In my times my body proportions were
ideal, but today criteria seem to have changed… But I
keep being admired and photographed. Today a group
of girls stood in front of me for a long time. They were
talking about me and in the end they tried to imitate
me… Well now, that is not that simple…
25.
26. Sometimes I am tired of myself. I would
like to be able to get up, to stretch my
legs, to lie down, to get dressed and go
out for a while, to follow these happy kids
and tour about my town with them. But
this cannot be done…
My name is Aphrodite, and if you
want to see me, you have to come to
Rhodes, to the Museum, I will be
expecting you!”
