Book excerpt: Never in her wildest dreams did author Zahia Fahmy believe she would be seventy years old. That’s ancient. That’s her grandmother. That’s an old, quirky aunt. As Fahmy comes to terms with her age, she explores the memories and life experiences that got her to where she is today. Waking Up to Seventy shares Fahmy’s slow awakening from grief to the shocking realization that seventy is but a few months away. In this memoir, she journeys through the streets of her beloved Alexandria and introduces her people and her family. Following the thread of grief of losing loved ones and the anger and denial that follows, Fahmy concludes that the human inner store of memories is, in fact, the only salvation. Remembrance is the soul’s warm, loving, and gentle way of guiding one to acceptance and to healing.

Does any of that sound familiar? If so, let me ask you a simple question: If someone came to you and simply said, “follow these directions and you will double the amount of money in your bank account” would you do it? Well, I am that someone, and I AM NOT saying I will double the amount of money in your bank account. However, what I am saying I can do for you is to teach you life skills that we all wished we learned in the classroom - Skills such as: 1. Creating a weekly plan, and how to execute them with five easy steps. 2. How to properly save money, and set yourself up for the long haul. 3. How to balance being a student-athlete or working a fifty-hour work week while still making time for yourself. These are all questions that have never been answered for us - so why is that we have to go through these tough times for ourselves in order to learn these valuable lessons? The answer is, we don't! Throughout this book I will be teaching you how to create your own system - a system where you control the outcome and more importantly, a system that allows you to put yourself in the right direction in order to accomplish the goals you have always dreamed of. Join me on this journey, and let’s change your life!

Download or read book The Subversive Seventies written by Michael Hardt and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Progressive and revolutionary movements of the 70s, which took place across the globe, provide an inspiring and useful guide for contemporary radical political thought and action, even more than those of the 60s. The 60s were a crucial historical turning point and we can certainly learn from those movements, both the victorious and the vanquished, but, fundamentally, they marked the end of an era. The 1970s, in contrast, herald the beginning of our time. In response to the insurgencies of the 60s, new structures of power, many of which are now grouped under the name neoliberalism, were tested and institutionalized, and are essentially the same ones that rule over us today. The progressive and revolutionary struggles of the 70s, then, constituted an initial set of experiments for confronting our current conjuncture, a first test of the terrain. Feminist and gay liberation movements, worker and anticolonial struggles, antinuclear and antiracist projects, along with many others liberation efforts developed in the 70s offer us not only initial analyses of today's structures of economic and political domination, but also forms of critique and resistance most effective against them"--

Download or read book Sleep and Aging written by Mark P. Mattson and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2005-06-20 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sleep and Aging provides a unique and timely collection of review articles that cover the gamut of basic and clinical aspects of sleep and the abnormalities in sleep associated with aging and neurological disorders that occur during aging. From the evolutionary basis of sleep and its normal functions in processes such as learning and memory, to considerations of the roles of sleep abnormalities in neurological disorders such as depression, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, the chapters are written by experts in the field. Several chapters focus on signalling pathways involved in sleep regulation and abnormalities in sleep, including those activated by serotonin and BDNF. Basic and clinical research on insomnia, sleep apnea and other disorders of sleep, are covered thus providing students and scientists at all levels with a valuable source of information to advance their understanding of this important topic in aging, biology and medicine. The circuits in the brain involved in sleep regulation, their neurochemistry, how they are altered in disorders of sleep and current clinical treatments of various sleep disorders are reviewed. The important role of sleep disturbances in neurodegenerative disorders is described and research in this particular area is leading to a better understanding of the relationships between synaptic plasticity, neuronal degeneration and the clinical manifestations of disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and depression. This book is a must for scientists, as well as non-scientists, who are interested in the neurobiology of aging, sleep and neurodegenerative disorders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Wake Up Call asks a lot of questions. After surviving cancer twice, author Louwrens Erasmus was determined to find answers. For fifteen years he studied the Bible and searched for answers, only to end up with more questions. Is there a heaven? Do we know all the entry requirements to be completely sure of the fact that we will enter into heaven? How did the prophets of the Old Testament see the future? Did they ever mention the millennial reign of Jesus Christ? What will this Kingdom look like? Did they see the so-called rapture of the saints, or is it a fairy tale? This is not your average interpretation of these and other prophecies, but a radical new look at everything we as Christians have taken for granted. We are so often taught not to question our basic Christian beliefs or our Church fathers. Is this the right thing to do? This phenomenal book describes what heaven looks like as well as what the judgments are against today's various church groups. It looks at how this phase will end and who will enter into the New Jerusalem, as told to us in Revelation. Isn't it time you had A Wake Up Call?About the Author: Louwrens Erasmus is a financial advisor in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.

That guided me to really investigate everything that I believed in to and to ensure that what I believe in, was actually told in the Bible.

Download or read book Stories of the Babylonian Talmud written by Jeffrey L. Rubenstein and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2010-07-12 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jeffrey L. Rubenstein continues his grand exploration of the ancient rabbinic tradition of the Talmudic sages, offering deep and complex analysis of eight stories from the Babylonian Talmud to reconstruct the cultural and religious world of the Babylonian rabbinic academy. Rubenstein combines a close textual and literary examination of each story with a careful comparison to earlier versions from other rabbinic compilations. This unique approach provides insight not only into the meaning and content of the current forms of the stories but also into how redactors reworked those earlier versions to address contemporary moral and religious issues. Rubenstein's analysis uncovers the literary methods used to compose the Talmud and sheds light on the cultural and theological perspectives of the Stammaim—the anonymous editor-redactors of the Babylonian Talmud. Rubenstein also uses these stories as a window into understanding more broadly the culture of the late Babylonian rabbinic academy, a hierarchically organized and competitive institution where sages studied the Torah. Several of the stories Rubenstein studies here describe the dynamics of life in the academy: master-disciple relationships, collegiality and rivalry, and the struggle for leadership positions. Others elucidate the worldview of the Stammaim, including their perspectives on astrology, theodicy, and revelation. The third installment of Rubenstein’s trilogy of works on the subject, Stories of the Babylonian Talmud is essential reading for all students of the Talmud and rabbinic Judaism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wake up, Lien. Think for yourself! describes the origins and some of the history and the excesses of Christianity and Islam. It shows how mind-control enters into the formation of these religions, and it urges the reader to free himself or herself from the out-dated notions that may have been implanted in his mind by parents, teachers, and religious functionaries.

Download or read book Happy Days written by Benjamin L. Alpers and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2024-01-12 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the techno-futurism of the 1950s and the utopian 1960s vision of a “great society,” the 1970s saw Americans turning to the past as a source for both nostalgic escapism and serious reflection on the nation’s history. While some popular works like Grease presented the relatively recent past as a more innocent time, far away from the nation’s post-Vietnam, post-Watergate malaise, others like Roots used America’s bicentennial as an occasion for deep soul-searching. Happy Days investigates how 1970s popular culture was obsessed with America’s past but often offered radically different interpretations of the same historical events and icons. Even the figure of the greaser, once an icon of juvenile delinquency, was made family-friendly by Henry Winkler’s Fonzie at the same time that he was being appropriated in more threatening ways by punk and gay subcultures. The cultural historian Benjamin Alpers discovers similar levels of ambivalence toward the past in 1970s neo-noir films, representations of America’s founding, and neo-slave narratives by Alex Haley and Octavia Butler. By exploring how Americans used the 1970s to construct divergent representations of their shared history, he identifies it as a pivotal moment in the nation’s ideological fracturing.
