Synopsis

ERIC HOFFER BOOK AWARD SHORTLIST FINALIST, BUSINESS CATEGORYNATIONAL FEDERATION OF PRESS WOMEN REGIONAL FINALIST, GENERAL NONFICTIONINDEPENDENT PUBLISHER BOOK AWARDS GOLD MEDAL, CURRENT EVENTS Near midnight on May 23, 2012, the New York Times broke the story that Advance Publications, the New York-based owner of about three dozen US newspapers, would use its 175-year-old New Orleans Times-Picayune as the testing ground for a risky experiment. The Picayune—;which won fierce local devotion, international acclaim, and two Pulitzer Prizes for its heroic coverage of the aftermath of 2005's Hurricane Katrina—;would become a three-day-per-week publication and shift its focus to its much derided nola.com Web site, leaving New Orleans as the largest US city without a daily newspaper. The profitable newspaper, with the country's highest readership penetration in a city its size, then proceeded to purge its veteran newsroom, antagonize much of the city and state, attract negative national and international attention, and jeopardize its vaunted reputation—;all in an effort to create a new blueprint for the profitable operation of American newspapers in today's increasingly digital world.The Times-Picayune wasn't the first or last Advance Publications newspaper to undergo this transformation. The company began implementing this plan at many of its newspapers in 2009 despite waves of protest. However, the Times-Picayune was its foremost guinea pig. In a desperate attempt to recapture public favor, Advance implemented daily newsstand-only editions of the Times-Picayune to supplement its scant coverage. Author Rebecca Theim's deft treatment of the impact on employees and region; the enigmatic owners of Advance Publications; and Advance Publication's ambitious business model is a revelatory exposé of the swiftly changing face of journalism.

    What an amazing episode! My guest Star is here to talk to us about the "heroine's journey". The heroine's journey came about in 1990 when Maureen Murdock, a psychologist published a book called The Heroine's Journey: Woman's Quest for Wholeness. 
    My guest Star is here to talk to us about Heroine's Journey and we are discussing the heroine's journey in Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables and Jo's heroine's journey in Little Women. I was told that Gilbert's proposal to Anne in the 80s AOGG is almost exactly the same as Laurie's proposal to Jo in 1933 Little Women. Of course, I had to check if this was true and I have recorded these two proposals and mine and Star's reactions. It is an interesting detail and I think it might be one of the reasons why so many people somehow link Anne and Gil and Jo and Laurie together. Oh Hollywood what do you do to us?

    You Are 1-Click Away From Learning How To Stop Your Mother’s Narcissistic Behavior From Getting Through To You, To Protect Yourself From Emotional Abuse, Get Your Sanity Back, Move On, Heal And Build New Boundaries! 
    ality disorder is one of a few types of character issues, and is a state of mind in which people have their own swelled sense of importance, a strong need for high attention and respect, strained relationships, and a lack of empathy for others. In any case, behind this mask of exceptional assurance lies fragile confidence that is defenseless against the slightest criticism. 
    However, because many forms of narcissistic abuse are not frequently discussed, such as manipulation, slander, withholding, and emotional blackmail, people do not think of these actions as abuse. Consequently, many narcissistic mother children do not even realize they are being abused. 
    In this book you’ll discover: 
    ·      Understanding narcissism 
    ·      Types of Toxic Mothers 
    ·      Parents transforming their children into little narcissistic beings 
    ·      How to defend yourself from emotional takers 
    ·      and many more 
    Your life is worth living and you are a great talented person. Take a step to get the support you need and deserve so you can learn to understand abusive abuse, understand you've become a victim, and find ways to cope with and resolve the violence so you can fully realize your potential and live your best life.

    Mecca is now best known for being Islam’s holiest city, revered as the birthplace of Muhammad and the site where Allah first revealed the Qu’ran to him. Within Mecca is the Ka’aba, a building housed within the Al-Masjid al-Haram (Great Mosque) that is considered the holiest site, and wherever they are in the world, Muslims face in the direction of the Ka’aba while praying. A pilgrimage to Mecca is considered a necessity for devout Muslims at some point in their lives, and the city itself is off limits to non-Muslims. Indeed, Mecca is so integral to Islam that the name of the city has entered the English lexicon and is a commonplace reference to any area closely associated with something (such as Paris often being called the mecca of fashion). 
    Even centuries before the birth of the Prophet Muhammad, Jews settled in the area that became Medina to escape persecution at the hands of the Babylonians and Romans, meaning the area and its arid environment brought inhabitants precisely because it wasn’t an attractive or resource rich area. In fact, the city fated to become the second holiest city in Islam earned that spot simply by straddling trade routes to the religious city of Mecca, which brought traders and pilgrims in large enough numbers to make it a trade center. 
    Jerusalem’s particular importance to the religion of Islam is without question one of the major sticking points in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Prior to Israeli control, Jerusalem had been predominantly controlled by Muslim rulers since the 7th century and had been used as a type of political currency, legitimizing the ruling dynasty’s claim over the city. For the world’s Muslim population, Jerusalem is a holy site because Muslims believe the Prophet Muhammad visited Jerusalem where he ascended to heaven during the famous “Night Journey.” There was also a period of time during the Prophet’s life when Muslims prayed in the direction of Jerusalem, as opposed to Mecca.
