Sometimes incidents crop up that cannot be explained by logic and the past can loom up in a haunting sequence. Sometimes good intentions can go awry and speaking the truth can have dire consequences. And one can make a hash of things with the best of intentions. At other times even a single mistake can change one’s life. At a crunch one may need to play a trick to fight stupid superstition.

Can Deepak and Seema stop their grandmother from going away to live all alone in their ancestral house? What happens when all the servants suddenly vanish in the house with the long terrace? Can Tina play the role of George Washington successfully because she is keen to stand out as a heroine in real life? What happens when Ruby steps inside the old house where the dust is as thick as a carpet and there are cobwebs in every corner? Can one really judge a person by merely looking at the obvious? These are some of the situations the reader will come across and realize that life can be really amazing and often incredible. Six stories for teenagers/young adults.

Download or read book The Scandinavian Home written by Niki Brantmark and published by CICO Books. This book was released on 2017-04-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover classic and contemporary Scandinavian style with specially commissioned photography of homes in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. Discover classic and contemporary Scandinavian style with specially commissioned photography of homes in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. Scandinavia is famous for its distinctive style: homes are pared-back and simple, and form and function are combined to create aesthetically pleasing and practical interiors. Scandinavians are inspired by light, having an abundance of it in summer but so little of it in winter, and house designs tend to maximize the amount of natural light that enters the home, and allow the inhabitants to make the most of outdoor life during the summer. Similarly, nature and the weather are major influences: homes are made warm and cozy for the freezing winter months—not just literally with log burners, but also through incorporating wood and natural materials. Here Niki Brantmark, owner of the interior design blog My Scandinavian Home, presents a wide-ranging collection of these beautiful homes and explores how the Scandinavian lifestyle is reflected in them all. The first chapter, Urban Living, features styles ranging from minimalist to bohemian, and pale palettes to dramatic dark colors. By contrast, the Country Homes tend to have a softer, calmer feel, through color and textiles, in line with a slower pace of life. Finally, the spectacular Rural Retreats include a mountain cabin, beach house, and rustic summer cottage, and demonstrate how having somewhere to escape to is so important to many Scandinavians. This collection of stunning interiors will put Scandi style within every reader’s reach.

Download or read book Oh Posterity written by John S. Dye and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-07-02 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oh Posterity! You will never know, how much it cost the present generation, to preserve your freedom! I hope you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven, that I ever took half the pains to preserve it. --John Adams, April 26, 1777. Amidst the political divisions that exist today, many Americans believe the Founding Fathers would roll over in their graves if they saw what posterity did with their divine creation. Oh, Posterity! What Have You Done? explores what the Founding Fathers might say to us if given the opportunity in this piece of historical fiction. Is modern America anything close to what they intended? Have twenty-first-century Americans forgotten who they were and subsequently who we are? Have we lost our way, and what will it take to get us back on track and in the good graces of the Almighty? Follow God's new messenger, William Justice Freeman, as he is charged by Providence with the task of breathing new life into the founding generation's words in the hopes of saving the country. Starting on January 6, 2021, and ending on July 2, 2024--prior to an election that could be a turning point in the cause of human freedom--see what the Founders think of modern America as they are given the opportunity to live among us for three years, culminating in eight thought-provoking interviews with Mr. Freeman. Do they believe America can be saved? Why is individual free will so important to the Almighty? Are freedom and democracy synonymous, or has posterity forgotten what the principle of freedom even means? Can Americans regain a connection to the revolutionary generation and understand what they gave us some 250 years ago? Join William Freeman as he attempts to wake America up to its forgotten purpose in the world!
