Book excerpt: My Life with NF I believe in my own power to change. —Louise Hay I wrote this book about my experience with neurofibromatosis, commonly known as NF, because I wanted to give adults and children affected with this disorder the hope that one can live a happy, fulfilling life despite NF. NF can affect so many different organs within the body, causing such severe complications that it can sometimes be difficult to see life in a positive way.

Download or read book Bumpy Roads written by Ibrahim Masoodi and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-11-11 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The music of ink in this book reflects eventful periods of my life. Playing with the strings of my heart, I have tried to compose tunes to resonate with yours. This book is essentially a travelogue, but also a travelogue through life itself, containing what is hoped are the universal messages for all readers. The book has two sections. In section -1 there are my real life experiences from my school era to life in Medical college highlighting education, mentorship and time management. Section II is about healthy lifestyle and how to avoid smoking, alcohol and drug abuse. Studies have shown that the best way to keep away from such harmful substances is to be aware of their disastrous effects. Further, I have taken the reader on a tour of all the three divisions of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh trying to highlight the glorious history, culture and natural beauty of these regions in the notes after most of the chapters. One of the stories in this book "A Narrow escape" highlights how I survived in blast injury. Having lived through the wonderful way in which my friends rallied round to help me after this terrible experience, irrespective of their religion, origin or cast, the warmth of their friendship and kindness melted all the masks and barriers in my mind. I don't feel any race is superior or any colour is inferior, and I certainly don't believe in regionalism or the nasty caste system. Hence I dedicate this work to Global Peace and the Love of Humanity. I express my sincere gratitude to my parents, family all my friends, teachers and relatives who have been instrumental in the successful completion of this work. I at this moment take the opportunity to offer you my free health educational service via my online educational facility Gastroenterology desk on the Facebook. After reading the book, please provide your valuable feedback on my page or email me at [email protected]. Happy reading! Dr Ibrahim Masoodi MD.

Download or read book Researching and Applying Metaphor in the Real World written by Graham Low and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2010-10-13 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has become increasingly clear that metaphor needs to be explored in terms of the social and discourse context in which it is used, especially where the aim is to address real-world problems. The notion of 'real world' metaphor research has been developed to describe this important area of investigation. This book starts by describing the nature and scope of real world metaphor research and then illustrates, through 17 detailed, mainly empirically-based studies, the different areas it can apply to, and different methodologies that can be employed. Research problems are explored in areas such as artificial intelligence, language teaching and learning, reconciliation dialogue, university lecture discourse, poetry and wine description. Methods include corpus analysis, experimentation, discourse analysis, cross-cultural analysis and genre analysis. In each case the empirical studies refer back to Gibbs's opening overview of real-world research. The result is an invaluable and cross-referenced collection of papers addressing real-world problems.

God will never leave you or forsake you. One must remember to stay connected to God, our source of strength and comfort.
Download or read book The Road Taken written by Henry Petroski and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-02-16 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A renowned historian and engineer explores the past, present, and future of America's crumbling infrastructure. Acclaimed engineer and historian Henry Petroski explores our core infrastructure from both historical and contemporary perspectives, explaining how essential their maintenance is to America's economic health. Petroski reveals the genesis of the many parts of America's highway system--our interstate numbering system, the centerline that divides roads, and such taken-for-granted objects as guardrails, stop signs, and traffic lights--all crucial to our national and local infrastructure. A compelling work of history, The Road Taken is also an urgent clarion call aimed at American citizens, politicians, and anyone with a vested interest in our economic well-being. Physical infrastructure in the United States is crumbling, and Petroski reveals the complex and challenging interplay between government and industry inherent in major infrastructure improvement. The road we take in the next decade toward rebuilding our aging infrastructure will in large part determine our future national prosperity.
