Soon, she was writing for the Pilot Tribune in her old home town of Blair, Nebraska and Zapata, Texas where they had formerly wintered. Her writing life had begun. She covers topics in her columns from the growing up during the Depression, when milk was given away free and lamb chops were five cents per pound, to walking three miles to school through snow and wind. She recalls the animals in her life, dogs, cats, and horses that she loved, as well as the importance of family connections and memories. The charming columns in Life Begins at Eighty provide a vivid, humorous picture of one womans fascinating life and times.

Book excerpt: Life can seem so unchanging in a small village. Some people can remain content with this their whole lives, while others thirst for change and want to broaden their horizons. Can true love overcome this need for change and keep you rooted? In Now My Life Begins, this is the dilemma faced by Jenny Barstow, who has grown up in Watsworth, England watching her mother live out her adult years as a servant at Watsworth Mansion. She vows to break family tradition and climb up the ladder to a better position in life. The problem is, her childhood friend and true love, Tim McKitterek, is chained to Watsworth, supporting his mother and family after the disappearance of his father. Now their dream of leaving Watsworth and building a new life together is destroyed, and it is up to Jenny to live the dream alone and give herself the future that she has always strived for. Jenny is a brave, intelligent young woman, and when opportunity knocks on her door after the death of her mother, she jumps at the chance, breaking her heart and Tim's in the process, and makes the journey to Edinburgh, Scotland to take up employment in the City offices. Unfortunately, only shock and disappointment greet her in the big city, but through the kindness of strangers, Jenny picks herself up off the ground and follows her dream on the roller coaster of life and its ups and downs. She encounters truly beautiful souls along the way as well as others she would rather forget, and through it all Jenny grows and transforms into a truly beautiful person and a force to be reckoned with, never giving up.

Download or read book Be Wise Be Healthy written by Catherine Carstairs and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lose weight. Quit smoking. Exercise more. For over a century, governments and voluntary groups have run educational campaigns encouraging Canadians to adopt healthy habits in order to prolong lives, cost the state less, and produce more efficient workers. Be Wise! Be Healthy! explores the history of public health in Canada from the 1920s to the 1970s. Through the Health League of Canada, people were urged to drink pasteurized milk, immunize their children, and avoid extramarital sex. Health was presented as a responsibility of citizenship – and doctors and dentists as expert guides. Public health campaigns have reduced preventable deaths. But such campaigns can also stigmatize marginalized populations by implying that poor health is due to inadequate self-care, despite clear links between health and external factors such as poverty and trauma. This clear-eyed study demonstrates that while we may well celebrate the successes of public health campaigns, they are not without controversy.

Download or read book Science In The Quran written by Sayyid Rami Al Rifai and published by Sunnah Muakada. This book was released on 2016-12-23 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is clear from the prophet Muhammad's (saws) own words that He (saws) understood there is knowledge in everything which needs to be studied and discovered before it can be known, today for mankind science fulfils this role. The Prophet – praise and peace be upon him – said, “Indeed, knowledge has a branch which resembles a hidden thing (it needs to be discovered); no one grasps it except those who know Allah.” Allah in the Quran speaks about all aspects of creation, but much of it was beyond the understanding of the desert Arabs living 1400 years ago, Allah says: “And we strike these similitudes for the people, but none understands them except those who know.” (29:42). Regarding this the prophet (saws) said, “Indeed, there is an external meaning and an internal meaning to the Qur’an, a scope and a point.” Ali, pointing to his breast, said, “Indeed, herein lies abundant knowledge; would that there were some to (comprehend and) transmit it.” It was because not every person was capable of understanding science that the prophet (saws) said, “We prophets were ordered to communicate with everyone according to his ability to understand.” This is because there was a danger in trying to teach people science they would not be able to prove for another 1400 years, so the prophet (saws) warned, “No one has ever recited a prophetic quotation to a people which their minds have failed to grasp without it being a temptation for them.” Allah said in the Quran "Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Are those who know equal with those who know not? But only men of understanding will pay heed." (39:9) This work will show how Allah taught science in the Quran through a series of tafsir on various chapters and verses of the Quran all of which ultimately explain how Allah is Haq, the reality of the universe we live with. Table Of Contents: Ch.1 - The Prophets Knowledge Of The Quran Ch.2 - Tafsir Surah al Rahman (55:1-9) Ch.3 - Tafsir Surah al Shams (91:1-11) Ch.4 - Tafsir The Verse Of Light (24:35) Ch.5 - Tafsir Surah al Takwir (81:1-14) Ch.6 - Tafsir Surah Nun (68:1-2) Ch.7 - Tafsir Of Small Verses From Al Mulk, Al Aala, Al Hashr, Ta Ha and Al Hadid Ch.8 - Tafsir Surah al Najm Ch.9 - Aqeedah: How Is Allah Reality (Haq)

Download or read book The Druidic Art of Divination written by Jon G. Hughes and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A complete guide to the techniques of the pre-Celtic Druids for understanding the past, present, and future • Offers step-by-step instructions for a wealth of practices passed down across five generations of Welsh Druids • Explains the three forms of divination used by the Druids: interpretive divination, such as reading the Sevens; inductive divination, such as reading the wind or smoke; and intuitive divination, whose tools include cup-stones and scrying mirrors • Provides comprehensive instructions on how to craft and utilize your own magical instruments and tools, including botanical compounds, scrying wands, and slate speculum vitae In this practical guide, Jon G. Hughes shares ancient secret Druidic techniques of divination passed down to him across five generations in an unbroken lineage of influential Welsh Druids. Hughes explains the three forms of divination used by his tradition: interpretive divination, used by readers of the Sevens (small staves with engraved sigils); inductive divination, which includes instructions for reading the wind, reading smoke, and divination using water; and intuitive divination, whose tools includes cup-stones and slate mirrors for scrying. Providing step-by-step instructions for practices in each of the three forms, he offers a wealth of divinatory techniques and explains how to access the altered states of consciousness necessary to read time backward and forward. He also explores the crafting and use of all tools and mixtures the reader will need to perform each type of divination, including botanical compounds, scrying wands, and a slate speculum vitae, the “mirror of life.” He reveals how the prime function of divination in this school of Druidic lore is to gain insight into past, present, and future events through a process of internalizing them, akin to empathy, and then interpreting them. By providing an understanding of pre-Celtic beliefs and clear instructions for Druidic practices, Hughes offers each of us the opportunity to begin our own practical experimentation and journey of discovery into the ancient art of Druidic divination.

Download or read book Whose View of Life written by Jane Maienschein and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saving lives versus taking lives: These are the stark terms in which the public regards human embryo research--a battleground of extremes, a war between science and ethics. Such a simplistic dichotomy, encouraged by vociferous opponents of abortion and proponents of medical research, is precisely what Jane Maienschein seeks to counter with this book. Whose View of Life? brings the current debates into sharper focus by examining developments in stem cell research, cloning, and embryology in historical and philosophical context and by exploring legal, social, and ethical issues at the heart of what has become a political controversy. Drawing on her experience as a researcher, teacher, and congressional fellow, Jane Maienschein provides historical and contemporary analysis to aid understanding of the scientific and social forces that got us where we are today. For example, she explains the long-established traditions behind conflicting views of how life begins--at conception or gradually, in the course of development. She prepares us to engage a major question of our day: How are we, as a 21st-century democratic society, to navigate a course that is at the same time respectful of the range of competing views of life, built on the strongest possible basis of scientific knowledge, and still able to respond to the momentous opportunities and challenges presented to us by modern biology? Maienschein's multidisciplinary perspective will provide a starting point for further attempts to answer this question.
