Summary

"The Adventures of Ulysses" by Charles Lamb is an adaptation for children of Homer's ancient Greek epic poem The Odyssey. Ulysses' harrowing journey home after the Trojan war is written in an accessible and age-appropriate way to allow children to become familiar with this important piece of literature and history. This abridged version of the epic is still a useful tool to help students who find it difficult to read the original translation get a better understanding of the tale.

    In this guided meditation book, we will be searching for the core pattern that had been blocked your chakra in your first 7 years of development. What is a core pattern? The core pattern is the blocked emotions or wounded traumas that are stored in your body from the first 8 years of your life. If the traumas have not been healed, you will feel the emotions of the seed pattern again and again in your life until you heal the emotions.  
There are 7 chakras located in our body system. They are connected to the 7 dimensions in the universe. Each represents an energetic part of our psyche. Each chakra vibrates in its frequency. The frequency also creates the color of each chakra. Your chakra energy system is developed through the first 7 years of your life through the unfolding process of each chakra. 
In this book, we will Find out the seed pattern from childhood Release the traumas at the core Regain the power of your life Transform your past childhood trauma Break the toxic cycles Heal any toxic relationship Feel lighter happier calmer Open the space to receive love and abundance Get support and solutions from within Embark a new chapter of your life and much more 
Once the seed pattern is balanced in your chakra, your issues relating to the chakras will also be restored. It is not magic but how the energy system works. This is the ultimate healing system.

    In April 2019 Lord Ashcroft published the results of his year-long investigation into South Africa's captive-bred lion industry. Over eleven pages of a single edition of the Mail on Sunday he showed why this sickening trade, which involves appalling cruelty to the 'King of the Savannah' from birth to death, has become a stain on the country.
Unfair Game, to be published in June 2020, features the shocking results of a new inquiry Lord Ashcroft has conducted into South Africa's lion business. In the book, he shows how tourists are unwittingly being used to support the abuse of lions; he details how lions are being tranquilised and then hunted in enclosed spaces; he urges the British government to ban the import of captive-bred lion trophies; and he demonstrates why Asia's insatiable appetite for lion bones has become a multimillion-dollar business linked to criminality and corruption, which now underpins South Africa's captive lion industry.

    Every issue of Scientific American and Scientific  American Mind has breaking news about how the brain works--and  how it can stay healthy longer.       Neurologists and psychologists are finding  the brain  at midlife--from 40 to 65 and even beyond--is much more elastic and  more supple than anyone ever realized. Far from disintegrating,  healthy maturing brains fade quite slowly-- and even in old old  age, continue to make new connections and bring new cognitive  systems on line. Short-term memory may not be what it was,  but we manage information and parse meanings in new--and  often more effective-ways than we did in youth. What's more,  temperament changes to suit those new skills, as research shows we  actually grow happier as we age, more comfortable with ambiguity  and less susceptible to frustration or irritation. This book shows  how to optimize your aging brain, how we can achieve a new level of  perspective and involvement while retaining mental skills and  productivity in our later years--and what neuroscience is finding  about keeping our brains healthy. Current and future interventions  are documented to enhance our mental powers.

    Which came first – the Olmecs or the Mayan? The Olmecs or the Incans? Walk with us among Colossal Heads and some of the first pyramids in Mesoamerica – yes! Pyramids across the world from Giza and Egypt! Come join us on the journey to discover just where this amazing culture began and ended – and why we are still studying the Olmecs today.  
Historians and scholars still battle over the origins of – and reasons for– some of Mesoamerica’s formative civilizations downturn. How could such unique, innovative, and thriving societies fall without certain evidence of the causes? And what might the Mayans or Incans have to do with the Olmecs' rise and fall? 
This audiobook takes listeners on a journey that few have taken, deep into archaeological sites, artifacts, and the many theories surrounding the Olmecs and their history, so shrouded in mystery. As you listen, you’ll learn: 
●      Why their placement in Mesoamerica’s history is so important 
●      Why a rock overhang was so crucial to their survival 
●      How the Olmecs domesticated - - yes, corn! 
●      Why and how they moved from hunter-gatherer to farming 
●      The importance of a rock to their society (Well, not just any rock!) 
●      Adzes – What they were and how they helped trade 
You’ll learn some fun facts – but will also be challenged with archaeologically-puzzling discoveries and learn about some fascinating finds. The “Forgotten Civilization” lays claim to some fantastic people who forged the way for modern-day Mexico to become the rich and historically diverse culture it is today! 
Grab your copy of this audiobook, and dive into the many astonishing elements of this vast and controversial Mesoamerican civilization!
