Who Told You that You Were Naked?: From the Fall of Adam to the Rise of the Antichrist - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: WHAT’S this book all about? It’s like you’ve been driving in theearly morning fog and it’s a bit hard to see where you’regoing. Then the sun gradually gains predominance and the fogfades—it’s a beautiful day in contrast to the way it seemed to start.Thus, we’re going to see the fog lifting off a lot of things.So it’s about seeing it clearly after all.And then it’s like when everything seems not a little shaky allaround you; but when all is said and done, there’s more thanenough bedrock far and wide for anyone who wants to stand up andstand tall.So it’s about hope after all.And it also has its depth in Scripture—undoubtedly someScripture that you may have never even noticed before. It’s notabout the scary stuff that many of the lads never got right in the firstplace, looking at it through glasses that focused anywhere from thespooky to the spectacular. I suggest those kind of spectacles bechanged to contact lenses, and for starters you ought to be a bitfamiliar with the first three chapters of Genesis. That not only givesthe setting for the air you breathe right now, but a panoramic viewof the big picture.So it’s about understanding more about the big why after all.
Libraries, the First Amendment, and Cyberspace: What You Need to Know - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Too often misinformation about free speech is circulated as if it wereauthoritative. The final straw for me and the inspiration for thisbook was a panel discussion at a state library association convention.There, as a member of the audience, I was treated to a confidently ren-dered but distorted description of First Amendment law as it applies topublic libraries. As a legal matter, the speaker said, obscenity is some-thing you know when you see it. This was decidedly wrong as a state-ment of the law, and I was unable to await my own scheduled talk laterthat day. I stood up during the question period and explained what theU.S. Supreme Court had actually said about obscenity and how theConstitution requires substantial procedural safeguards to be followedbefore a librarian may adjudge material obscene and take the matter tocourt. In defense, the panelist, a nonlawyer, justified her statements asbased on what her city attorney had told her.Of course, few city attorneys have much experience with FirstAmendment law. Their loyalties may not run to civil liberties as much asto whatever powers hold sway locally. In such instances, libraries arestuck with advice that has a more political than legal basis. For toomany who provide that advice, the need to avoid controversy over-whelms fidelity to the law. Such political considerations, however,should not be part of the constitutional calculus—for the reasons toknuckle under to would-be censors are infinite and can only expandwith each new concession. The result of such a standard operating pro-cedure would then be an abandonment of the library’s very purpose andmission: to assist in the diffusion of knowledge.vI N T R O D U C T I O NNeither ignorance of the law nor frustration over its complexity oughtto deter compliance with the principles it sets out. Even though the law isfilled with subtle touchstones, guidelines, and three-part tests that courtshave difficulty applying, there are some basic and unimpeachable tenetsthat all can understand and act upon. Librarians and library policymak-ers, dedicated as they are to providing access to information, need an ac-curate basis upon which to base intelligent and legally appropriatepolicies about Internet access, as well as the other issues that librariesoften face. This book aims to provide that foundation.The development of constitutionally informed policies can ease someof the conflict that is bound to arise. To be sure, it will not end that con-flict because speech, the written word, and pictures have an unquench-able capacity to generate controversy. It is almost a guarantee thatwhatever policies are eventually adopted will still be matters of greatcontention, activating factions who object to the materials thus madeavailable or unavailable to the community. It is indisputable that li-braries have become the front lines in modern free-speech wars. Still, awell-conceived policy can absorb some of the pain that accompaniesthat unfortunate reality and make all the difference in the litigation thatmay well follow.The role of libraries at the center in the battle over the nation’s intel-lectual freedoms is a familiar and long-running one. Almost from themoment of inception for public libraries, vociferous debates have en-sued about material that someone or another has deemed inappropriatefor shelving. One of the most enduring controversies over a book in theUnited States has been over Mark Twain’s Adventures of HuckleberryFinn. As far back as 1885, the Concord, Massachusetts, Public Librarybanished the now-classic book as “the veriest trash” and “more suitedto the slums than to intelligent, respectable people.” 1 The book remainsenormously controversial to this day.As recently as October 19, 1998, the U.S. Court of Appeals for theNinth Circuit was forced to rule on yet another attempt to remove thatbook—this time from a mandatory high-school freshman reading list inTempe, Arizona. The court concluded that assignment of the book didnot violate the constitutional right to equal protection of the laws, norcould it be removed because it allegedly contributed to a racially hostilelearning environment.2 Huckleberry Finn has endured more than a cen-tury of controversy with no sign that the hackles it raises will abate.Cyberspace now poses additional challenges for libraries.
The Body Sense Natural Diet: Six Weeks to a Slimmer, Healthier You - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: I never worry about diets. The only carrots that interestme are the number you get in a diamond.”— Mae West —Mae West may have been on to something when it comes to diets. Thesad fact is that most diets don’t work because they fail to look at theunderlying cause of weight gain and only focus on caloric intake, carbo-hydrate or protein consumption, and increased exercise. All these factorsare important, but all you dieters who have run thousands of miles on thetreadmill and eaten buckets of carrot sticks must know by now that thereis more to weight loss than just eating low-calorie foods, exercising, andusing a lot of willpower.During the research for The Body Sense Natural Diet, I read every dietbook currently in print and thousands of research papers. Most diet booksprovide good advice that, if followed long-term, would help you lose someweight. But the sad story is that most dieters gain back one- to two-thirdsof the weight they lost by the end of the first year, and almost all theweight will be gained back (and more!) within five years. The question iswhy. Stress, emotions, aging, and other factors play a role.1IntroductionI n t r o d u c t i o n2The key to permanent weight loss is well hidden. It lies in understand-ing how each component of dieting affects the hormones that stimulate,regulate, and control thousands of functions in your body. Those hormonesconspire to make your fat cells bigger, increase your cravings, tell you to eatmore, lower your fat-burning rate, and disrupt your blood sugar. None of thediet books I read explain this or integrate the knowledge into their advice,and yet there are mountains of research on the hormones of obesity.Within the pages of this book you will find the latest scientific break-throughs in fat loss—including which hormones are conspiring to makeyou fat. By using foods, nutrients, and other factors, you can correct hor-monal imbalances and reset your body’s fat-burning furnace, makingweight loss much easier.The Body Sense Natural Diet is a simple guide that takes you throughthe hormonal maze and unlocks secrets to diet success. You must normal-ize key hormones to lose weight and keep it off. Once you understand howfoods and lifestyle factors affect your hormones and make you fat or thin,you will recognize why other diets don’t work.Why am I sure it’s hormones? Think about it. Menopausal womenhave been telling their doctors for decades that the hormonal change theyexperience during this time of transition leads to weight gain that is verydifficult to shed. Women taking hormone replacement therapy, includingestrogen and progestin, also notice large weight gains and are unable tolose that weight. Research has proven that low thyroid slows your meta-bolic rate and causes you to gain weight and resist weight loss.Carbohydrate cravings are directly linked to the hormone serotonin, yourfeel-good hormone. When serotonin is low, your body desires sweet,starchy foods to bring serotonin back to desired levels; nothing will stopyou from eating the wrong foods as you satisfy your body’s need for thishormone. Cortisol, your stress hormone, is directly linked to making fatcells resistant to fat loss.Poor digestive-tract health is also linked to weight gain. Poor digestion,candida yeast, and bacteria overgrowth cause the secretion of hormonesthat expand your pants size. Fat cells themselves are hormone factories:the more fat cells you have, and the bigger they are, the more trouble youwill have losing weight. The research is clear—hormones are key to losingthose unwanted pounds and keeping them off for good.
i'll tell you one damn thing and that's all i know - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: As I read through my journals from the past couple ofyears, in preparation for publishing this book, I could notbelieve the contrast from one 24 hour period to the next.Some mornings I woke with more willpower and positiveenergy than anyone on the planet. Apparently as I slept, thatglee, that pure joyfulness, would sneak out the back door. Iwould wake not knowing what I was doing and being unsureof how I felt, or what the point was. How could that happenovernight? My mother would always tell us kids, growing up,that as quickly as things could turn to crap, that's how quick-ly they could turn themselves around and be good again—verymuch like the way I have written these journals. One daygreat, fantastic! The next...well you'll get the picture.The true journey of the human heart is indeed very diffi-cult. I hope that as you read through these pages you'll recog-nize bits and pieces of yourself within them. We are so alike,and yes, so very different. But I think at the core of all human-ity is the ability to love. No matter what language we speak orwhere we live in the world, the essence of ourselves is made oflove. Love is really all I ever write about. Even tales aboutcleaning "Sweet Maries" from the cat litter, or watching mydad build a squirrel-proof bird feeder, it's all about love. Iwrite about love because I think about love, at some level,every waking minute of the day. Love got me this far, I shallrely on it as I continue onward
