  No Scrap Left Behind - My Life...

  Teralyn Pilgrim had no idea the environmental and economic impact of food waste, or that she could save $100 a month by being waste free. But when a story of hungry children fills her with unbearable guilt, she decided to make a change to the way her family approached mealtime. Despite finicky kids and a skeptical husband, Pilgrim turned her feelings of guilt into action and created a zero-food waste kitchen. 
   
   
   
  Pilgrim began her journey by defining food waste with Rule #1: the Hungry Kid Test—would you throw something edible away with a hungry child watching? If the answer is yes, it can go in the compost. If the answer is no, then it's time to get creative. 
   
   
   
  Narrating her trials and errors—emphasis on errors—Pilgrim invites listeners to her table, where leftover food is a personal challenge to reduce waste, save money, and guard against squandering natural resources. Things get tricky when she discovers a five-year-old fish in her freezer, accidentally buys the grossest fat-free cookies in the world, and finds her dog is as picky as the kids. Addressing myths about how being waste-free is too hard (it's not) and whether expiration dates mean anything (they don't), Pilgrim teaches listeners clever ways to be resourceful while also offering a broader look at why food waste matters and the global effects of this massive problem.

  Jewels From The Indra Net

  These pieces on Eastern methods of inner training and realisation are not intended as theoretical instruction or entertainment. They all point to actual practice in life and hint at deeper practice. 
  The title of the book Jewels from the Indra Net refers to the fabled net of the god Indra of which the strands have a jewel of truth at each junction. The jewels reflect each other so that each one has deeper and deeper meanings in it. 
  The pieces are from a variety of traditions, some of them being based on original translations of little known Sanskrit or Japanese texts. Others come from observation or personal experience and hopefully will reflect to the reader some further gleams from the Indra Net. 
  The fundamental training is mind control and meditation which in the end have to become one pointed. Allusions to them will be found in several places and will be recognised by those who are approaching that level. Some longer pieces have been put at the beginning to give a survey of some main points.

  Jewish Language and Literature -...

  The origins of Jewish language and literature are deeply intertwined with the history of the Jewish people, shaped by centuries of cultural exchange, migration, and adaptation. At the heart of Jewish literary tradition lies the Hebrew language, whose roots stretch back to the ancient world. Hebrew, as the language of the Bible, forms the foundation of Jewish thought, identity, and religious practice. The earliest examples of Hebrew literature can be found in the sacred texts of the Torah, where the stories, laws, and teachings of the Jewish people are recorded. These texts, passed down through generations, have remained central to Jewish life and continue to be a source of literary and theological inspiration. 
  In addition to Hebrew, other languages played an important role in the development of Jewish language and literature. Aramaic, a Semitic language closely related to Hebrew, became widespread during the Babylonian exile and remained influential for centuries. Aramaic is the language of significant portions of the Talmud and other rabbinic writings, shaping Jewish legal and philosophical thought. Over time, Jewish communities across the globe adopted the languages of the regions they inhabited, which further contributed to the diversity of Jewish literary expression. 
  The emergence of Yiddish, a language born in the Jewish communities of Eastern Europe, marked a significant shift in Jewish linguistic and literary culture. Yiddish, a Germanic language enriched with Hebrew, Aramaic, and Slavic elements, became the vernacular of millions of Ashkenazi Jews. It allowed for the creation of a vibrant body of literature, including plays, novels, and poetry, that expressed the daily lives, struggles, and aspirations of Jewish communities. Yiddish literature flourished in the 19th and early 20th centuries, with writers such as Sholem Aleichem, Isaac Bashevis Singer, and I.L. Peretz capturing the complexities of Jewish life through their works.

  It took less than four hours for Sarah Bailey and her younger brother Curtis to lose everything they knew. She lost her school, her mudpie stations, her church, her father, and her name. Everything they own is packed in garbage bags as they are moved to a new foster home. It’s supposed to be a safe haven for them, but as Sarah—now called Anna—learns, their so-called safety comes at a horrific price, as she is groomed and abused by her new foster mother. 
  But Sarah/Anna is resilient. She adapts to wearing dresses after only dressing as a boy. She befriends a wild and dangerous horse. And for her first Christmas ever, she receives a rag doll, one she carries with her still today. For a child with so little, the rag doll comes to mean so much. 
  Based on a true story, author of Just Another Slice, Dr. Zaffarese-Dippold continues to share her foster care story in the series “Garbage Bag Life.” This book in the series sheds light on the grooming behavior of some sexual abusers, and the risk to children in the foster care system.
