Summary

Warm and wise, grounded and liberating, Homegrown offers clarity and encouragement to homeschooling parents, asking what it means to build a life where learning and love grow side by side. 
 
Homeschooling is the fastest-growing form of education in America, and it's here to stay. If you're a homeschool veteran, finishing up your first year, or are just homeschool curious, Homegrown is destined to become a go-to resource. 
 
This collection of 30 original, thought-provoking pieces from a diverse group of contributors covers common questions such as 
 
· What fuels families to educate children at home? 
· How do relationships, culture, and vision affect the decision to homeschool? 
· What roles do spouses, friends, extended family, and communities play in our ability to homeschool? 
· How do culture, heritage, history, and legacy seamlessly intertwine with reading, writing, and arithmetic? 
· Why is raising our kids this way so important, and how do we prioritize it? 
 
Whether your aim is to nurture your child's passions, support their individual learning style, or connect with a community of like-minded families, this book will be your trusted companion every step of the way. Spanning age, race, ethnicity, political beliefs, geography, religion, family size, educational philosophy, and more, the essays in Homegrown provide parents with guidance and inspiration to kickstart or refine their homeschooling practice with creativity, connection, and confidence.

    In 2014 Sonya Bilocerkowycz is a tourist at a deadly revolution. At first she is enamored with the Ukrainians' idealism, which reminds her of her own patriotic family. But when the romantic revolution melts into a war with Russia, she becomes disillusioned, prompting a return home to the US and the diaspora community that raised her. As the daughter of a man who studies Ukrainian dissidents for a living, the granddaughter of war refugees, and the great-granddaughter of a gulag victim, Bilocerkowycz has inherited a legacy of political oppression. But what does it mean when she discovers a missing page from her family's survival story—one that raises questions about her own guilt? 
     
     
     
    In these linked essays, Bilocerkowycz invites listeners to meet a swirling cast of post-Soviet characters, including a Russian intelligence officer who finds Osama bin Laden a few weeks after 9/11; a Ukrainian poet whose nose gets broken by Russian separatists; and a long-lost relative who drives a bus into the heart of Chernobyl. On Our Way Home from the Revolution muddles our easy distinctions between innocence and culpability, agency and fate.

    Establishing a language habit is one key to quickly learning a new language. 
    You are unlikely to forget the words you are learning if you use them on a regular basis. Repetition is essential for remembering. That is to say, you should incorporate the new language into your daily life. 
    Begin by labeling everything in the house. As a result, every time you see the items, you will notice the name, and the names will begin to stick with you. You should also get some children's books to read because they have a lot of pictures and illustrations. Using technology is another way to turn language learning into a way of life. You can customize your phone and computer to learn the language. As you try to figure out what each name means, you'll be forced to learn new vocabulary quickly. 
    What you'll discover 
    ·       How to Make a Mind Map to Help You Learn a New Language 
    ·       Materials and equipment required to learn a new language 
    ·       The most effective way to learn a language 
    And Much More!...

    Brahma Vishnu Shiva - The Yogic...

    Brahma is the controller of nature in the mode of passion; he is the engineer who creates the universe. Every universe has its Brahma, who appears as the first created being in it. Although Brahma is usually in the category of the jiva soul, he is designated an avatar (incarnation) of Krishna because he is especially empowered with Krishna’s own creative potency. Using the ingredients furnished by Krishna and following Krishna’s blueprints, Brahma constructs the material universe, and then he begets the offspring, called Prajapatis, whose descendants populate all the planets. 
     
    Vishnu, who controls nature in the mode of goodness and sustains the creation, is directly the Supreme Lord. In the spiritual kingdom of God, where everything is everlasting, the quality of goodness exists without either passion or ignorance. Therefore it is appropriate that Vishnu personally controls this quality even in the material world, where it becomes bracketed by ignorance and passion. 
      
    Shiva, the lord of the mode of ignorance, devastates the universe at the end by his wild, all-annihilating dance. Shiva is a personal expansion of Krishna, not a jiva. Yet, because he comes into intimate contact with the quality of ignorance and with matter (which is innately ignorant), you cannot receive the same spiritual restoration by worshiping him that you do by worshiping Krishna or Vishnu. Shiva is therefore given his own category, shiva-tattva. Learn all about the sacred trinity of yogic lore. 
     
    The Sri Brama-samhita is a collection of prayers by Brahma at the beginning of material creation after the Supreme Person Krishna gave Brahma a divine vision of the spiritual world. Brama, in his amazement, speaks volumes of divinely inspired praise before beginning his work of creation. Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu acquired the Fifth Chapter of the Brama-Samhita from the Adi-Keshava temple in South India.

    In Our Time - 1923 Edition -...

    Ernest Hemingway

    In 1923, journalist and budding fiction writer Ernest Hemingway penned eighteen original short stories and published them in the magazine The Little Review with the help of his friend Ezra Pound. Hemingway would later add to this collection and re-publish the stories in 1925 under the same title and - after adding an additional story - would again republish the entire volume in 1930, again as "in our time" (all in lower case).   Presented here are the original eighteen "vignettes" as Hemingway originally published them in 1923. This collection of short stories would mark one of the most auspicious and earth-shattering debuts by an author in literary history and also introduced the world to the fictional character of Nick Adams, a protagonist Hemingway would re-visit repeatedly in his career.   Within a few years, Hemingway would become known as one of the most important voices of his generation and his stark prose - lean and brutal at times - would be imitated by generations of writers who followed him.

    Buddhism in its course of development has completed a form which distinguishes itself from its so-called primitive or original type—so greatly, indeed, that we are justified in emphasizing its historical division into two schools, Hinayana and Mahayana, or the Lesser Vehicle and the Greater vehicle of salvation. As a matter of fact, the Mahayana, with all its varied formulae, is no more than a developed form of Buddhism and traces back its final authority to its Indian founder, the great Buddha Sakyamuni.
