Adonais

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Książka w dwóch wersjach językowych: polskiej i angielskiej. A dual Polish-English language edition. Adonais utwór angielskiego poety romantycznego Percy'ego Bysshe Shelleya, będący elegią na cześć młodo zmarłego Johna Keatsa, opublikowany w 1821. Poemat jest napisany strofą spenserowską, czyli zwrotką dziewięciowersową rymowaną ababbcbcc. Składa się z pięćdziesięciu pięciu takich strof. Na język polski utwór przełożył Jan Kasprowicz. A oto fragment z przedmowy: John Keats umarł w Rzymie, na suchoty, w dwudziestym czwartym roku życia, dnia 27 grudnia 1820 i pochowany został na romantycznym i samotnym cmentarzu protestantów tego miasta, u stóp piramidy, będącej grobem Cestiusza, w pobliżu murów i baszt, obecnie rozpadłych, a które ongi okalały Rzym starożytny. Cmentarz jest wśród otoczenia ruin miejscem otwartym, w zimie pokrytym fiołkami i stokrotkami. Można by się nieomal zakochać w Śmierci na myśl, że zwłoki nasze na tak uroczym spoczną miejscu. Duch opłakiwanej istoty, której pamięci te niegodne poświęciłem wiersze, był niemniej delikatnym i wiotkim, jak pięknym; gdzie zaś istnieje obfitość robactwa, cóż dziwnego, że robak kwiecie młode podgryzł jeszcze w zawiązku? Surowa krytyka jego Endymiona, wydrukowana w Quarterly Rewiew, wpłynęła w sposób najgwałtowniejszy na jego umysł wrażliwy, a spowodowane przez nią wstrząśnienie skończyło się tym, że pękło mu w płucach jedno z naczyń krwionośnych; szybko wywiązały się suchoty, a późniejsze ze strony krytyków sprawiedliwszych uznanie prawdziwej wielkości sił jego ducha nie zdołało uleczyć już blizny, tak lekkomyślnie zadanej. Można by słusznie powiedzieć, że nieszczęśliwi ci ludzie nie wiedzą, co czynią. Rozsiewają obelgi i plotki, nie zważając wcale, azali grot zatruty nie ugodzi w serce, stwardniałe od mnogości otrzymanych razów, albo, jak u Keatsa, z przenikliwszej stworzone materii.

Adrenalina

Marta Póltorak

Namalowany przez francuskiego mistrza Jean’a-Honoré Fragonarda obraz „Huśtawka” to od ponad 250 lat znany symbol nie tylko rokoka, ale także popkultury. Choć na obrazie trwa szalona sielanka lat francuskiej monarchii absolutnej, to czuć już niewidzialną grozę, coś, co nie daje nam — ludziom obeznanym już z dalszą historią — spokoju.  Jednak ten, frywolny obraz zawsze będzie kojarzony z zabawami parkowymi, znudzonej i bogatej arystokracji, która zabija czas plotkami, seksem i imprezą na całego. Dwór Ludwika XV pełen był takich uciech, pompy, dekoracyjności, braku kontroli i... królewskiej władzy nad tymi wszystkim odcieniami kiczu i erotyki. Obraz „Huśtawka” jest dziełem na temat miłości i pożądania, o czym świadczy wiele symboli jak, chociażby wirujący pantofelek, zaglądający pod spódniczkę mężczyźni czy putta pełne erotycznych aluzji. Dzieło Fragonarda pełne jest adrenaliny. Jednak jak wspomniałam na początku, czas krwawych rewolucji jest już za progiem, daje się odczuć jako dni pełne kontrastowej dla wesołej zabawy trwogi, która wyzwala adrenalinę. Hormon ten towarzyszy nam wiernie — na dobre i na złe.  Bohaterka obrazu jest wesoła, ale też udaje, że te zaloty są dla niej miłe... Może po prostu nie wypada jej odmówić? A może nie wie, jak to powinno się zrobić? Czy wie, że towarzysze mają swoje zamiary? A może nie wypada jej protestować? Tomik „Adrenalina” jest odpowiedzią (lub jej próbą) na pytanie o samoidentyfikację, zrozumienie i zaakceptowanie lub zane-gowanie dla elementów, które mogą spotkać się ze sobą na metapoziomie rozumienia aspektów kobiecości. Aby najlepiej zrozumieć swoje ograniczenia, także te wynikające ze stereotypów, przeciwstawić się im można poprzez kamuflaż. Konwencje, które z jednej strony mogą nas wzmocnić, ale przeważnie nawet pod płaszczykiem wygody często powodują wpisanie kobiety w przekaz zwyczajowy. Co często nie pozwala, by spojrzeć na siebie autentycznie. Rola kobiety w polskim społeczeństwie to także forma kamuflażu. Musi ona nieustannie wplatać w swoje życie elementy zupełnie niepasujące do niej, ale wymagane. Musi rozwiązywać różnego rodzaju życiowe i mentalne rebusy oraz kontrolować czy jest to dostatecznie dobre dla innych. Poczucie bezradności i złości jest efektem skomplikowanej natury kobiecości przypisywanej codziennie do różnorakich frazesów. Zestawienie wierszy to połączenie pewnych scen, przedstawień czy nawet alegorii, które nie do końca są dopasowane w warstwie wstępnej percepcji. Jednak ich wspólne postrzeganie w ujęciu niepasujących ele-mentów to sztuka słowa pokazana poprzez połączenie obrazów, które w dowolny sposób można wykorzystać. Ja nadaję im charakteru współpracy, gdzie razem tworzą narrację metaforyczną, może nawet narrację poprzez zlepek metafor, które są skojarzeniami, stereotypowymi odbiorami, czy arche-typicznym artefaktem. Podobnie jak na obrazie „Huśtawka” śliczny obrazek to tylko oczekiwanie na koniec, bo przecież i obecnie te, tradycyjne kody, kurtuazja, różnorakie sytuacje, które nie mają jednoznacznych konotacji, ale zawsze pozostają głęboko, dają nie tyle do myślenia co do przemyśleń, których kierunek nie jest znany. Bo czy wiemy kim jesteśmy, gdy dookoła tyle fałszu i strachu? Czy możemy się zbuntować, zmierzyć z innym postrzeganiem i jednocześnie być akceptowane? A może to jest bunt bez sensu, który tylko pali mosty? Czego zatem potrzeba nam dziś bardziej —dam, czy rewolucji?

You will also explore backup and recovery techniques for your databases and understand important tips and tricks to help your critical data reach its full potential.By the end of this book, you’ll have learned about new MySQL 8.0 security features that allow a database administrator (DBA) to simplify user management and increase the security of their multi-user environments.

Advanced Natural Language Processing with TensorFlow 2. Build effective real-world NLP applications using NER, RNNs, seq2seq models, Transformers, and more

Ashish Bansal

Recently, there have been tremendous advances in NLP, and we are now moving from research labs into practical applications. This book comes with a perfect blend of both the theoretical and practical aspects of trending and complex NLP techniques. The book is focused on innovative applications in the field of NLP, language generation, and dialogue systems. It helps you apply the concepts of pre-processing text using techniques such as tokenization, parts of speech tagging, and lemmatization using popular libraries such as Stanford NLP and SpaCy. You will build Named Entity Recognition (NER) from scratch using Conditional Random Fields and Viterbi Decoding on top of RNNs. The book covers key emerging areas such as generating text for use in sentence completion and text summarization, bridging images and text by generating captions for images, and managing dialogue aspects of chatbots. You will learn how to apply transfer learning and fine-tuning using TensorFlow 2. Further, it covers practical techniques that can simplify the labelling of textual data. The book also has a working code that is adaptable to your use cases for each tech piece. By the end of the book, you will have an advanced knowledge of the tools, techniques and deep learning architecture used to solve complex NLP problems.
