Discover the Power Within You: A Guide to the Unexplored Depths Within - PDF
نویسندگان: Laurie Seale خلاصه: The inspirational classic that has sold over 250,000 copies! In this classic work, Eric Butterworth sees the divine within us all to be a hidden and untapped resource of limitless abundance. Exploring this "depth potential," Butterworth outlines ways in which we can release the power locked within us and let our "light shine." "There is only one way under the sun by which a man can achieve his 'Mt. Olympus' -- that is to say, achieve the realization and unfoldment of his own innate divinity -- and that is by bringing about a radical and permanent change for the better in his own consciousness," writes Butterworth. Butterworth demonstrates that the existence of this divine dimension in each individual is the greatest discovery of all time. He explains the universality of such vital subjects as: how to succeed; how to pray; how to find confidence; how to overcome personal problems; and how to find healing. With insight and sensitivity, Butterworth opens new doors of self-knowledge, and outlines ways in which we can release the power within.

Depression Fallout: The Impact of Depression on Couples and What You Can Do to Preserve the Bond - PDF
نویسندگان: Anne Sheffield خلاصه: Using the vivid, poignant and personal stories of the members of a website support group she founded (www.depressionfallout.com), Anne Sheffield, the author of two highly acclaimed books on depression, provides an honest record of what happens to a love relationship once depression enters the picture, and offers solid advice on what the non–depressed partner can do to improve his or her own life and the relationship. Of the millions of people who suffer from a depressive illness, few suffer in solitude. They draw the people they love – spouses, parents, children, lovers, friends – into their illness. In her first book, How You Can Survive When They're Depressed, Anne Sheffield coined the phrase 'depression fallout' to describe the emotional toll on the depressive's family and close friends who are unaware of their own stressful reactions and needs. She outlined the five stages of depression fallout (confusion, self–doubt, demoralisation, anger, and the need to escape) and explained that these reactions are a natural result of living with a depressed person.

Zero Tolerance Policies in Schools (Issues That Concern You) - PDF
نویسندگان: Peggy Daniels خلاصه: Z ero tolerance policies have been in place at most U.S. publicschools for more than a decade. These policies impose strictpenalties for certain forbidden behaviors, like bringing a weaponto school, with no exceptions. Many students have been directlyaffected by such policies, or know someone who has. Once widelypraised as the most effective way to ensure safety at school, zero tol-erance policies are now being criticized as unfair to students. Thiscontroversy raises a number of questions about school safety andstudent discipline. Where did zero tolerance policies come from?Why did zero tolerance policies become so widely used in schools?Are these policies working, or have they caused more problemsthan they solve? These points, along with many other aspects ofthe zero tolerance policy issue, are addressed in this volume.The Origin of Zero Tolerance Policies in SchoolsZero tolerance policies were implemented in most U.S. schools asa result of the Gun-Free Schools Act (GFSA), which became anational law in October 1994. The GFSA was intended to ensurethe removal of firearms from public schools by requiring mandatorypunishments for anyone who brings a gun to school. These strictdisciplinary policies became commonly known by the name “zerotolerance,” although that phrase does not actually appear in thewording of the GFSA law.The GFSA requires all schools that receive money from thefederal government to follow specific rules in order to continuebeing funded. These rules include:• The establishment of a policy banning guns from school• The mandatory expulsion of any student possessing a gunat school• The mandatory immediate reporting of any student possess-ing a gun at school to the police• The mandatory annual reporting of all student expulsions tothe U.S. Department of Education

Body Image (Issues That Concern You) - PDF
نویسندگان: Heidi Williams خلاصه: Most people would like to change something about their bod-ies and the way that they look, but for some people it isan obsession. A freckle, a mole, the size of their nose, the sym-metry of their ears, the size of their breasts, whatever the flaw orflaws, major or minor, real or misperceived, noticeable or not,they are life consuming for people with body dysmorphic disor-der (BDD).Sufferers of BDD may refuse to have their picture taken, stopgoing out with friends, quit going to school, stop going to work,refuse to leave home altogether, and even attempt suicide. Theymay have multiple plastic surgeries or just spend literally hours aday looking at, trying to cover up, measuring, and thinking abouttheir perceived defect. No amount of reassurance will comfortthem.Body integrity identity disorder (BIID) is a unique type ofBDD. Sometimes called “amputee wannabees,” sufferers feelthat they will not be themselves until a certain limb or limbsare amputated. Driven to desperation, some have taken it uponthemselves to remove their own limbs or have damaged them byfreezing them so that they have to be amputated. Once the limbsare gone, they feel whole.While people with BIID are desperate to remove something,others feel compelled, or just want, to add something. Bodymodification can range from the tame to the extreme. Multipletattoos, multiple piercings, and piercings in every part of thebody imaginable are becoming more common and more cultur-ally acceptable. Some people go to greater extremes with thingslike tattoos covering their entire bodies, sewing beads into theirskin, branding (burning a permanent scar), eyeball tattooing,eyeball jewelry, tooth filing, tongue splitting, ear pointing orshaping, and 3-D body modification such as horn implanting
