The energy from the universe emanates through space and helps us send out vibrations, only to receive back what is in our inner desires. I know that sounds like a complicated sentence, but that basically sums up the law of attraction. To understand this more fully, we have to understand those concepts separately: Vibrations, energy, mindfulness to receive the things we want. All those things are related to each other. One way in which people increase their chances to receive their desires, is by using hypnosis or self-hypnosis. These practices have been tested and often underestimated by the masses. But they can work in a person’s favor, especially if that person is committed to changing his or her life. Morning routines are another element of having success. Many people start out the day wrong, and then don’t end up where they want to be. By starting each day with a well-thought-out ritual, you can make those changes in your life.Mostra libro
In Volume III of this series on the Hanoverian Kings, Justin McCarthy is joined by his son, Justin Hartly McCarthy, a liberal Irish MP like his father. Together they bring to life, poor stubborn George III, the outrageous radical, John Wilkes, the rebellious American Colonies, great-hearted Charles James Fox, the Gordon Riots which set London ablaze, Edmund Burke, Britain's problematic Indian policy, and the brave, enigmatic Younger Pitt, who faced national fears of the spread of revolution across the Channel from France and then confronted the imminent threat of invasion by the armies of Napoleon. - Summary by Pamela NagamiMostra libro
The cult image, female divine being, and folk saint Nuestra Seora de la Santa Muerte (Spanish meaning: Our Woman of the Holy Death) is a cult image, female divine being, and folk saint in Mexican Neopaganism and folk Catholicism. Her worshippers relate her with healing, security, and safe delivery to the afterlife simply because she's a personification of death. In spite of condemnation from Catholic Church leaders and, more just recently, evangelical movements, her following has grown substantially since the start of the twenty-first century. Santa Muerte, who was initially portrayed as a male character, is now generally illustrated as a skeletal female figure dressed in a long cape and clutching several things, most typically a scythe and a world. Let’s take a look at what she means or meant to people in Mexico, and what we can learn about it.Mostra libro
What makes a leader? Is a person born a leader or does circumstance decide their ability to lead a group? The subject of leadership still invites heated debates while trying to understand the depth of this skill. To follow a leader is to believe in their motives and subscribe to their vision. Successful leaders are those who are able to read the situation and design their approach according to it. The approach is indicative of the style each leader has. The leadership style plays a key role in deciding the extent of success of a leader. Every situation is unique and has its own expectations from its leaders. These leaders need to be equipped with specific qualities to form a rare combination for success. This is the first of a 3 volume compendium about common styles of leadership. This volume will focus on leaders from the 5th Century A.D. till the 19th Century A.D. Each leadership style is explained through the stories of 6 epitomical leaders. These chosen leaders are renowned dictators who are known today for their extreme methods and notoriety. Their individual reigns as the head of their country/tribe/principality were long and storied. The leaders profiled in this book are:Attila the HunWu ZetianGenghis KhanVlad the ImpalerIvan the TerribleKing Leopold 2ndMostra libro
1812 was the year in which the Peninsular War swung in the favor of the combined forces of the British, the Spanish and the Portuguese. This was the result of a series of victories over the French gained by the allied armies under Wellington, and this is the subject of Peter Edwardss compelling new history. The year began with Wellington launching a series of raids in Estramadura to distract French attention from preparations for an assault on Ciudad Rodrigo, which was taken in late-January. There followed the capture of Badajoz and the advance on Salamanca, which was captured after a ten-day siege. The Battle of Salamanca, on 22 July, saw some 50,000 French troops arrayed against a similar number of allies. Using ground astutely, Wellington gained a crushing victory, inflicting over 14,000 French casualties. Although there was a rebuff at Burgos later in the year, Wellingtons forces were firmly on the march to victory in the Iberian Peninsula. Peter Edwards uses an excellent range of sources to bring to life this pivotal year in the Peninsular War. His work offers a fascinating insight into the strategy, the command decisions and the experience of combat 200 years ago.Mostra libro
In 1942 Stanley Johnston is embarked in the aircraft carrier USS Lexington during the Battle of the Coral Sea. In addition to recording the crew's doomed effort to save the ship, Johnston displays great heroism, earning the praise of the Lexington's senior officers. They even recommend him for a medal. Then his story darkens. On board the rescue ship Barnett, Johnston is assigned to a cabin where messages from the Pacific Fleet commander, Admiral Chester Nimitz, are routinely, and carelessly, circulated. One reveals the order of battle of Imperial Japanese Navy forces advancing on Midway Atoll. Carlson captures the outrage among U.S. Navy brass when they read the 7 June 1942 Chicago Tribune front-page headline, "NAVY HAD WORD OF JAP PLAN TO STRIKE AT SEA." Admirals note that the information in the Tribune article parallels almost precisely the highly secret material in Nimitz's dispatch. They fear Japanese commanders will discover the article, grasp that their code has been cracked, and quickly change it, thereby depriving the U.S. Navy of a priceless military asset. Drawing on never-before-released testimony, Carlson takes listeners inside the grand jury room where jurors convened by the Roosevelt administration consider charges that Johnston violated the Espionage Act.Mostra libro
