This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 1427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book documents hundreds of customs and traditions practiced in countries outside of the United States, showcasing the diversity of birth, coming-of-age, and death celebrations worldwide. From the beginning of our lives to the end, all of humanity celebrates life's milestones through traditions and unique customs. In the United States, we have specific events like baby showers, rites of passage such as Bat and Bar Mitzvahs and "sweet 16" birthday parties, and sober end-of-life traditions like obituaries and funeral services that honor those who have died. But what kinds of customs and traditions are practiced in other countries? How do people in other cultures welcome babies, prepare to enter into adulthood, and commemorate the end of the lives of loved ones? This three-volume encyclopedia covers more than 300 birth, life, and death customs, with the books' content organized chronologically by life stage. Volume 1 focuses on birth and childhood customs, Volume 2 documents adolescent and early-adulthood customs, and Volume 3 looks at aging and death customs. The entries in the first volume examine pre-birth traditions, such as baby showers and other gift-giving events, and post-birth customs, such as naming ceremonies, child-rearing practices, and traditions performed to ward off evil or promote good health. The second volume contains information about rites of passage as children become adults, including indigenous initiations, marriage customs, and religious ceremonies. The final volume concludes with coverage on customs associated with aging and death, such as retirement celebrations, elaborate funeral processions, and the creation of fantasy coffins. The set features beautiful color inserts that illustrate examples of celebrations and ceremonies and includes an appendix of excerpts from primary documents that include legislation on government-accepted names, wedding vows, and maternity/paternity leave regulations.
Download or read book Tighten Your Tummy in 2 Weeks written by Ellington Darden and published by Rodale. This book was released on 2015-08-18 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tighten Your Tummy in 2 Weeks is a revolutionary new program that triggers hormones to burn more fat and melt pounds and inches primarily from the belly. A woman's tummy has now replaced her thighs as the most-troublesome body part. Seventy-six percent of women surveyed in 2014 admitted that they were unhappy with their midsection. And a large tummy is a warning sign of significant potential health issues. QUESTION: How would you like to lose 14 inches from your waist and 14 pounds of body fat in only 14 days? The proof is in the pictures: 41 women at Gainesville Health & Fitness in Florida tested the Tighten Your Tummy in 2 Weeks program under the direction of fitness expert Ellington Darden, PhD, who documented success stories with remarkable before-and-after photographs. Readers can expect results similar to Dr. Darden's test panel. For example, in just 2 weeks: • Roxanne Dybevick, 54, lost 15.08 pounds • Angela Choate, 68, lost 14.8 pounds • Katie Fellows Smith, 60, lost 14.51 pounds • Denise Rodriguez, 34, lost 14.49 pounds • Brianna Kramer, 23, lost 14.26 pounds What causes such rapid loss of midsection flab? The answer is Dr. Darden's remarkable 5-step formula: 1) A special at-home resistance exercise technique called "15-15-15, plus 8 to 12" triggers fat cells to burn and release fat, effectively "spot-reducing" the belly. 2) A carbohydrate-rich eating plan of five or six small meals a day. Yes, "carbs are okay." A bagel for breakfast is on the daily meal plan. 3) Extra sleep at night and a nap during the day to turbo-charge the shrinking of pounds and inches. 4) A tummy-tightening trick called the inner-abs vacuum that's performed before every meal. 5) Sipping ice-cold water all day long, which synergizes the loss of fat and the strengthening of muscle. What Women Like You Are Saying About the Tighten Your Tummy Program: • "I've rediscovered my hour-glass figure." • "My jeans fit again: they feel like an old friend." • "The Power Start Diet made me feel powerful . . . and I like that feeling." • "I love the person I now see in the mirror."
