In the Mountains Green - Harvest to Harvest in the Southern Wilds – The Diary of a Country Parson

Peter Owen Jones

Beschreibung

'As a boy, I would walk out into the fields alone. Looking south, I set my eyes on the far ridge, wondering, not knowing, what lay beyond it. What world existed there? Now, as a man, I stand on the top of the Downs, up on the mountains green. To the south, the land folds down to the sea, but to the north the boy is there looking back at me…'
In a series of joyous, reflective and inspired diary pieces, Peter Owen Jones takes us on a voyage through the yearly cycle – a journey of inner and outer discovery. With the variety and colour of British seasonal life and the beauty of the Sussex countryside as his backdrop, Owen Jones observes the magical in the everyday – in the birds, bees and butterflies, but also in people. With lightness of touch and good humour, he calls for an awakening to the world around us, to ourselves, and ultimately to meaning in life.
Originally published as a series of separate articles in Sussex Life magazine, the essays gathered here provide a delightful glimpse into the life of a nature-loving country parson.

Body Art - The Ultimate Form Of...

Owen Jones

I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful and profitable.
It could easily be argued that body art is more popular than at any time in history. In days long gone by, sailors were the most heavily tattooed sector of society, but for decades now, that sector is the youth, which is a larger group than those who put to sea.
Not only has actual tattooing found a wider demographic, but technology has expanded the methods that can be employed to enhance our bodies. Nowadays, for example, you can get a fake tattoo that will last a couple of days for a special event. In a similar vein, women can be body-painted and the casual observer would be forgiven for not seeing a naked lady.
This doesn’t work so well for men, for obvious reasons!
You can also get fake tans, hair dyes, and nail varnishes that can easily be applied at home. There are also teeth whitening, cheap wigs, and coloured contact lenses available. Not to mention cheap sunglasses and fake glasses of numerous kinds.
The ultimate form of body art is plastic surgery. Many ordinary people aspire to plastic cut, tucks and nips these days – it is not only the privilege of the rich and famous. In fact, some countries, like Thailand, offer holidays that include plastic surgery (and other forms), so that your friends will hardly recognise when you return from a month’s holiday!
In fact, with all the options for body art available on a typical Western high street, no-one need look the same two days running!
The information in this ebook on various aspects of body art and related subjects, such as piercing, body painting and tattoos, is organized into 18 chapters of about 500-600 words each.
I hope that it will interest those who like to write a diary and blog, or would like to, plus webmasters who need content for their online publications.

Ellie Laks

The inspirational story of the compassionate and wise animals of the Gentle Barn and how they became a therapeutic salve for countless guests—and mentors for all of us in how to live and die 
 
In Cow Hug Therapy, Ellie Laks recounts the extraordinary journey that started with her first teacher, Buddha—not the religious figure, but a rescued miniature Hereford cow. One evening Buddha wrapped her neck around an exhausted and upset Ellie and transferred a singular form of healing and comfort with an incredible impact. Understanding that this was something to be shared with others, Ellie developed Cow Hug Therapy, a groundbreaking approach to emotional healing that has proved effective for trauma, illness, disabilities, addiction, grief, and stress. 
 
This colorful and compelling narrative introduces the healing mavens of the barnyard, each with a unique story of being rescued from trauma and treated with love and respect. In their new role at Ellie’s Gentle Barn sanctuaries, these animals have transformed lives and ignited breakthroughs and newfound purpose for visitors including a young mother who lost her baby, a suicidal teenager, a wounded serviceman, an open-heart-surgery patient, and many more. A testament to empathy and the mission to heal animals, people, and the planet, Cow Hug Therapy serves as a beacon of hope for all seeking healing and connection. 
 
“This book shows not only the power of Cow Hug Therapy with these wonderful creatures, but also their beautiful, individual personalities.”—Christina Applegate

Global Warming - The Great...

Guy K Mitchell Jr.

WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER

Global Warming: The Great Deception-The Triumph of Dollars and Politics Over Science and Why You Should Care is the definitive work on the subject of anthropogenic (man-made) global warming.

Guy Mitchell, a businessman with the mind of a scientist, takes a holistic approach and combines scientific analysis with an in-depth review of the political and economic aspects of the subject. He uses proven science and scientific facts to refute every claim of the climate alarmists and proponents of the man-made global warming hypothesis. He exposes the true reasons that the UN, certain politicians, and global investment firms promote global warming fraud. His analysis is an unbiased, scientifically based, insightful, no-holds-barred approach to the subject.

Mitchell employs his keen sense of business acumen to expose the real drivers behind the claims of man-made global warming: research funding, politics, and global economics. Over $1 trillion worldwide has been spent on global warming research with nothing of substance to show for it. Certain politicians in the US and Western Europe embrace the fraudulent hypothesis with no apparent understanding of the science or the socioeconomic impact that the abandonment of fossil fuels would have on the world economy or the reliability of the power grids that drive it.

Why do the U.N. and certain politicians in the U.S. and Western Europe continue to promote the fraudulent global warming hypothesis? It is all about the money - money for research and to affect socio-economic change. For many politicians, it is all about the power - the power to control the lives of the electorate. Power is the ultimate narcotic. And money follows power in politics.

In Pregnant While Black, Rainford begins the work of "repairing the damage of the past" with an examination of the conditions that plague Black pregnancies. This important book carries the hopes and dreams of a generation looking to effect change, here and now.
