Sinopse

Often overshadowed by narratives of conquest, the Ottoman Empire significantly contributed to scientific knowledge. Ottoman Science reveals these accomplishments, focusing on medicine, engineering, and astronomical studies. Ottoman scholars didn't just receive knowledge; they innovated, building upon Greek, Persian, and Indian traditions. For instance, Ottoman hospitals were advanced for their time, incorporating practices that reflected a deep understanding of medicine.

 
The book challenges Eurocentric views of scientific progress by highlighting the Ottoman Empire's active role in global knowledge exchange. It explores how libraries and observatories fostered innovation. The book progresses through medicine, engineering, and astronomical studies, showcasing the empire's lasting impact. Delving into original manuscripts and architectural plans, this book adopts a formal, academic tone to ensure clarity.

    "I bow to the Hanuman who is swifter than the mind and wind. The sacred one who has controlled his senses, the one who is the epitome of learning and wisdom. Salutations to the son of the God of Air and chief of the Vanaras, I pray always to Lord Hanuman." 
     
    The Hanuman Chalisa is a Vedic devotional hymn (stotra) in praise of Hanuman authored by the poet sage Tulsi Das. The word "ch?l?s?" means the number forty in Sanskrit, as the Hanuman Chalisa has forty verses. Lord Hanuman is a great devotee of Sri Ram and one of the central characters in the epic, Ramayan. Hanuman is also an incarnation of Shiva. The qualities of Hanuman - his strength, courage, wisdom, celibacy, devotion to Lord Ram, and the many names by which he is known are all in the Hanuman Chalisa. Devotional recitation of this sacred prayer is done by millions every day. 
     
    Hanumanji is the greatest devotee of Sri Ram and an incarnation of the mighty Lord Shiva. He is therefore the epitome of ultimate devotion manifested with its full glory unchallenged in all times and places. By the power of his devotion to Sita Ram, he easily achieved supreme status as the perfect devotee and servitor. 
     
    Lord Hanuman is the eternal link between all devotees and Ram whom he serves, inspires, and protects. By honoring Hanuman one is blessed with all kinds of siddhis including power, valor, prosperity, and devotion. 
     
    Reciting or hearing the Hanuman Chalisa infuses one with unlimited energy and prana. This sacred mantra also increases a person's resilience and they emerge victorious in every challenging situation.

    In June 1972, President Richard Nixon put pen to paper and signed the Educational Amendments of 1972 into law. The nearly 150-page document makes no mention of “gender,” “athletics,” “girls,” or “women.” The bill did not appear to contain anything earth shattering. But tucked into its final pages, a heading appears, “Title IX—Prohibition of Sex Discrimination.” These 37 words would change the world for girls and women across the United States. On its face, Title IX legally guaranteed equal opportunity in education. In time, Title IX would serve as the tipping point for the modern era of women’s sport. Slowly but surely, women’s athletics at the high school and collegiate levels grew to prominence, and Tennessee fast emerged as a national leader. 
    In Title IX, Pat Summitt, and Tennessee’s Trailblazers, Mary Ellen Pethel introduces readers to past and present pioneers—each instrumental to the success of women’s athletics across the state and nation. Through vibrant profiles, Pethel celebrates the lives and careers of household names like Pat Summitt and Candace Parker, as well as equally important forerunners such as Ann Furrow and Teresa Phillips. Through their lived experiences, these fifty individuals laid the foundation for athletic excellence in Tennessee, which in turn shaped the national landscape for women’s sports. 
    With interviewees ranging from age 20 to 93, Pethel artfully combines storytelling with scholarship. Guided by the voices of the athletes, coaches, and administrators, Pethel vividly documents achievement and adversity, wins and losses, and advice for the next generation. This book represents the first statewide compilation of its kind—offering readers a behind-the- scenes perspective of Tennessee women who dedicated their lives to the advancement of sport and gender equality. Readers will delight in Title IX, Pat Summitt, and Tennessee’s Trailblazers: 50 Years, 50 Stories. For more follow @drpethel.

        This is Steve Beat’s tale of monsters and mayhem. Actually, I just said this was Steve beat’s tale of monsters and mayhem, in case I am not permitted to set the story straight of why Steve Beat’s musical production in his original release of “Getting to Know Steve Beat Before His Journey to the Planet of the Apes was not up to par. To make it up to perhaps history and more importantly the potential viewers or listeners of which I suspect there will be very few, I have released two new songs that are part of this production that took a great deal of effort and also provide an explanation of why the music was subpar between the first production of Steve Beat and today. I hope you are not forced to read my writing, although if you are, I have done what I can to make an explanation of why my music was subpar during an initial production as entertaining as I possibly can. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the music as you will certainly be the first person and hopefully not the last, who hears my new track entitled Bring that Beat that is currently not available to the public anywhere and also my other track warm welcome.

  • The Seventh Sense - The Secrets of Remote Viewing as Told by a "Psychic Spy" for the US Military - cover

    The Seventh Sense - The Secrets...

    For the past thirty years, the United States government has secretly trained a select corps of military personnel in the art of "remote viewing"—the psychic ability to perceive the thoughts and experiences of others through the power of the human mind . . . 
     
     
     
    Now, for the first time, Lyn Buchanan—a world-renowned expert on remote viewing and its potential—tells the complete, candid story of his experiences. Assigned for nearly a decade to a clandestine US Army intelligence group, Buchanan trained military personnel who utilized their inherent psychic abilities as a data-collection tool during the Iran hostage crisis, the Chernobyl disaster, and the Gulf War. 
     
     
     
    In this incredible account, Buchanan tells how he was selected for his unique psychic abilities, and how he was transformed from an ordinary soldier into one of our nation's leading psychic spies. Working on top-secret government and military projects using "mental espionage" created permanent, life-altering changes within Buchanan. Now, after many years of analysis and interpretation, he reveals the techniques and mental exercises used to train remote viewers, and demonstrates that each of us carries a dormant psychic ability that we can explore and use ourselves.
