Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second in a series of our observations, hypotheses, thoughts, and considerations about our universe. I exist in a matrix of my own beliefs. It appears I'm making choices based on "best evidence" or whatever criteria I feel justifies my behavior associated with my choices. Yet, each choice exists in a sea of my own beliefs. It appears to me that I'm making a single choice when I choose a TV station, for example. Instead, I may be highlighting a belief that is perhaps ready for investigation! Perhaps my conscious mind does not direct my life any more than I direct a movie at a theater. Instead, maybe my subconscious mind takes care of just about everything in my life - allowing my conscious mind to sit back, NOTICE and ENJOY. Rather than to direct my life as I've been taught, perhaps the most useful function of my conscious mind is merely to notice and appreciate. Maybe stop scratching at the screen trying to make a difference in the movie's plot. I realize I need to make my life work the way I want it to because I don't like the feeling of being out of control to a reality that seems insane. When I feel I'm being set up to experience that reality, I resist - trying to fix what I see before me on the screen of my projection by pounding at it and screaming obscenities. No wonder change seems so difficult - I'm working myself to death applying insanity to fix the insanity! As long as I need to defend the madness, my need keeps me from the peace I AM right now. Holding my absurdity as the truth, I continue to live in a bubble of competition and defense. Until I question that truth, madness will rule my life as reality and I will live with the need for suffering, justification, and separation - never realizing true peace. When is the last time you questioned your reality? How sure are you of its truth? Do you ever find yourself asking, "Is it true?" We do - everyday. The object of that question is the subject of exploration in this volume of... The Aha Zone

Book excerpt: The universe is an amazing experience full of wonder and awe. There is so much to explore and so little we understand. It's the perfect setup for AHA! Aha is what we say when we feel like we understand something we previously didn't understand. We come to a "realization" we can entertain for a while. Aha also connects us with one another - especially as such connection brings about a sense of oneness, of interdependence, of our place as part of the whole.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nature of My SignificanceIn my bubble of limited awareness, how might I find personal significance in the universe? My experience of life is real to me and not conceptual. There's a huge gulf between non-corporeal thought and physical sensory experience.Most of my memories are based on sensual perception of physical experience on which I placed a judgement. Those judgements included what should or shouldn't have happened and emotions that identified the impact those experiences had on me. I know the difference between a thought about and the physical record of pain my body stores for experience.Why do my thoughts and emotions feel as real as an associated physical experience? How can a simple concept, a notion, feel as significant as a physical sensation?Am I experiencing life as sensual perceptions that validate concepts that only appear real? In a sea of concepts within a universe of cause-effect physical relationships, my intentions may seem insignificant when I consider them as thoughts. Among significant concepts I consider are the intentions that concern survival.Even within my own mind, thoughts compete to survive.How can one thought have any influence at all in such a vast sea of competing thoughts? After all, the size of my body is insignificant when compared to that of the earth. The earth is insignificant when compared to the number of celestial bodies that make up a galaxy, which is insignificant when compared to the whole universe. You might say my body represents many orders of magnitude of insignificance.Insignificant - until I realize the irrelevance of the comparison. So, I've applied a physical measurement comparison to the non-physical.The Nature of PerceptionI have my own notions of such abstract ideas as justice, freedom, friendship, and love. These interact with concepts of some more concrete perceptions like my body, plants in the garden, and carpentry. Each a concept in an environment of concepts.One concept that makes all others possible is that of separation from wholeness. This concept of differentiation turns one idea into an appearance of many. It also endows the universe with perspective, the capacity to differentiate me from not me. Because of this differentiating principle of perspective, I have experience. Without a notion of differentiation, there is no perception, and thus, no experience. Perception arises from a concept.My Significance in a Universe of ConceptsTo me, "I" appear to be my body, thoughts, and feelings. And yet, I am actually beliefs about those things. Beliefs are concepts that are thoughts. The perception of "I" represents the central thought in a uni-verse of my own thoughts. Thus, in my universe of limited perceptual awareness, I am the literal and figurative center and creator of every-thing.What if significance is a value that I, the dreamer, place on a concept to indicate its importance to the dreamer in the dream? Rather than infinitesimally insignificant, as the dreamer of the dream, might I instead be ultimately significant?Change a thought and you can change the entire universe. Imagine that!

Download or read book Syndrome X written by Terry Kirsten Strom and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2002-02-28 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of Americans follow the "best" medical advice every day to prevent heart attacks -- eating the standard low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet so widely recommended by doctors -- but in fact they are placing themselves at greater risk for heart disease. In Syndrome X: Overcoming the Silent Killer That Can Give You a Heart Attack, Dr. Gerald Reaven, the world-renowned physician who identified and named this silent killer, explains why the standard heart-healthy diet can be dangerous and lays out a simple six-step program to reduce the risk of heart disease for everyone. The problem stems from a little-known cluster of metabolic abnormalities known as Syndrome X. The insulin resistance that lies at the heart of the syndrome can turn normal rules of good health upside down and dramatically increase the risk of heart disease. Fortunately, Syndrome X can be cured. This important book explains how to identify the disorder and provides a program of diet and exercise (plus medication when necessary) that can render Syndrome X harmless. Tested in carefully controlled research settings and in practice, this remarkable new approach has the ability to reduce the risk of heart attacks and heart disease for all of us. Dr. Reaven shows how eating a diet relatively high in "good" fats (40 percent of calories) can dramatically lower the risk of heart disease if you have Syndrome X. The approach seems paradoxical: Everyone "knows" that fat is bad, so how can more fat possibly lead to better health? The answer lies in the type of fat and the body chemistry of the people who consume it. If you have the abnormal metabolism called Syndrome X, eating a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet to lower your LDL and blood fats won't protect you. In fact, doing so will increase the odds of heart disease. Millions of Americans have the potentially deadly, yet easily identifiable signs of Syndrome X -- but few cases are detected in time, because most physicians don't know what to look for. This trailblazing book will change that, making doctors and patients aware of the problem -- and its easy solution, an integrated program of diet and exercise that simultaneously reduces all the risk factors for heart disease, including Syndrome X. Dr. Reaven's discovery of Syndrome X has shown us that the standard approach to preventing heart disease is dangerous for many of us. Now, his safe, proven new approach explains how millions can drastically reduce their risk of heart disease. His program works not only for those who have Syndrome X, but also for anyone who simply wants to reduce the risk of heart disease.

This book was released on 2024-09-23 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the success of Volume I of this Research Topic, and how rapidly the subject area is evolving, we are pleased to announce the launch of Microbial Ecological and Biogeochemical Processes in the Soil-Vadose Zone-Groundwater Habitats, Volume II. You can check Volume I here: https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/37506/microbial-ecological-and-biogeochemical-processes-in-the-soil-vadose-zone-groundwater-habitats Microorganisms regulate biogeochemical cycles and serve various functions within the soil, vadose zone, and groundwater habitats. Microbial communities are sensitive to environmental changes and can respond to them rapidly. The composition and function of these microorganisms in different habitats can be influenced by biotic and abiotic factors, which affect biochemical processes and ecosystem functions. Therefore, to develop a healthy-stable-sustainable ecosystem, this research topic focuses on microbial ecological and biogeochemical processes in the soil-vadose zone-groundwater habitat.

Download or read book Mobile Networks written by Jesús Hamilton Ortiz and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012-05-09 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growth in the use of mobile networks has come mainly with the third generation systems and voice traffic. With the current third generation and the arrival of the 4G, the number of mobile users in the world will exceed the number of landlines users. Audio and video streaming have had a significant increase, parallel to the requirements of bandwidth and quality of service demanded by those applications. Mobile networks require that the applications and protocols that have worked successfully in fixed networks can be used with the same level of quality in mobile scenarios. Until the third generation of mobile networks, the need to ensure reliable handovers was still an important issue. On the eve of a new generation of access networks (4G) and increased connectivity between networks of different characteristics commonly called hybrid (satellite, ad-hoc, sensors, wired, WIMAX, LAN, etc.), it is necessary to transfer mechanisms of mobility to future generations of networks. In order to achieve this, it is essential to carry out a comprehensive evaluation of the performance of current protocols and the diverse topologies to suit the new mobility conditions.

Book excerpt: What if there's no need to achieve some imagined Utopian world of wholeness "out there somewhere?" Perhaps one can embrace the impossible now with simple awareness. In this volume, we take a peek behind the curtain of defense that cloaks our world of limited awareness. We investigate how our intention to be whole keeps us from wholeness, and what we might do as a result of this understanding.We challenge such concepts as predictability, fear, and wholeness, and explore the relationship between intention and outcome. We probe some of our long-defended beliefs in an effort to shed light on who we might be. Enjoy our musings over such subjects as certainty, lack, and motivation. Lively discussions on subjects like permanence, perspective, and problem solving expose paradoxes that capture our imagination. Logical fallacies entertain us, ambiguity keeps us on our toes, and impossibilities open our minds. Adhering to Apollo's maxim to "know thyself," we recognize the value of useful questions that probe the forgotten land of "I". Throughout this volume, you'll find references to and questions that aim to satisfy the Greek God's adage. You'll see those questions in the format: What - am I aware of?How - am I aware?Why - am I aware?Who - am I because of that awareness?It's All About AwarenessMuch of the time, we're unaware that we are unaware. When we become aware that we are unaware, we may take notice of the fact. Noticing is the first step in the process of investigation. In the process of investigation, we ask questions. Those questions put us on the path to more awareness. It's a positive feedback loop in which awareness feeds awareness.We ask, "What if I am aware of only that which I need to be aware of in order to have the experience I'm having?" We investigate the proposition, "I am aware of only that which I need to be aware of in order to validate my limited awareness."We enjoyed a paradoxical question, "Do I perceive what's happening or do I perceive what's happening?" "How do I draw what I draw?" "Why do I draw what's happening to me?" "Who is the I that I am?" I'm in the Aha Zone when I comprehend these questions.What if we were to simply enjoy the world we're in - here and now in...The AHA ZON

Book excerpt: Discover how to balance learning and performing to bolster personal and team success with this revolutionary guide from a world-renowned expert on growth mindset. “An essential read for fostering learning, performance, and a growth mindset . . . I wholeheartedly recommend it.”—Carol Dweck, bestselling author of Mindset A Next Big Idea Club Must Read To succeed in a fast-changing world, individuals and companies know they must create a culture of growth, where experimentation and feedback are encouraged, and learning is integrated into the everyday. Yet we often get stuck in a well-worn pattern of habits that don’t move us forward. Why? Because many of us get trapped in the Performance Paradox: the counterintuitive phenomenon that if we focus only on performing, our performance suffers. How can we give ourselves the space to experiment and grow while also delivering high-level results? Fostering growth mindset to elevate performance is Eduardo Briceño’s specialty. As CEO of Mindset Works and in his work with Fortune 500 companies, he discovered that mastering growth—personal, organizational, and financial—hinges on navigating the crucial balance between learning and performing. In The Performance Paradox, Briceño reveals how to • avoid falling into the chronic performance trap that stagnates growth • identify when and how to unlock the power of mistakes • integrate learning into daily habits in ways that stick • lead teams that constantly improve and outperform their targets • grow your skill level and output simultaneously and for the long term We can achieve more tomorrow than we do today if we develop the belief that we can change and the competence for how to change. With Briceño’s innovative and refreshing framework of balancing learning and performing, individuals and companies can reach their boldest aspirations.
