A unique book that offers a new treatment of female empowerment, blending spiritual and physical strength in the tradition of Deepak Chopra's New York Times bestseller, Ageless Body, Timeless Mind. It is the first book to combine the best of successful self-esteem books such as Gloria Steinem's Revolution from Within and fitness books such as those by Joyce Vedral.
The roadmap for finding purpose, meaning, and success as we age, from bestselling author, Harvard professor, and the Atlantic's happiness columnist Arthur Brooks. Many of us assume that the more successful we are, the less susceptible we become to the sense of professional and social irrelevance that often accompanies aging. But the truth is, the greater our achievements and our attachment to them, the more we notice our decline, and the more painful it is when it occurs. What can we do, starting now, to make our older years a time of happiness, purpose, and yes, success? At the height of his career at the age of 50, Arthur Brooks embarked on a seven-year journey to discover how to transform his future from one of disappointment over waning abilities into an opportunity for progress. From Strength to Strength is the result, a practical roadmap for the rest of your life. Drawing on social science, philosophy, biography, theology, and eastern wisdom, as well as dozens of interviews with everyday men and women, Brooks shows us that true life success is well within our reach. By refocusing on certain priorities and habits that anyone can learn, such as deep wisdom, detachment from empty rewards, connection and service to others, and spiritual progress, we can set ourselves up for increased happiness. Read this book and you, too, can go from strength to strength.
This book examines many facets of strength in a philosophical dialogue that probes the meaning of character and values, what is worth fighting forOCoand why; what it means to be a true friend; how to know when itOCOs right to stand up and when notOCoin sum, what it means to be strong, and how to find and train our own inner strength. What is strength, after all? Is it as obvious as it seems? Does it require more strength to act, or to hold yourself from acting? Why do you need it? Where does truth come into play, and how do we know truth when we see it? How do heart, soul and mind figure into things, and where do we get our gut feelings? Can you be strong when you are at odds with yourself?. In this Dialogue, Father and Director coach Youth who has just been bloodied by a bully. Having stood for what he felt was right, it was a technical win but left Youth questioning himself. He can build physical strength readily enough, but itOCOs not merely physical strength he needs. His journey is about finding the right kind of confidence, the right kind of strength OCo a trickier business, but all the more worthwhile."

This second book by Coach Thibaudeau focuses more on the science of strength as well as the various methods you can use to boost your strength and power. A great tool for athletes of all kinds! Also includes information on electromyostimulation, chains, bands, weight releasers and over 30 different training methods! This second book of mine (the first one being The Black Book of Training Secrets) is a gift to myself. I've wanted to write something specifically for athletes and strength coaches for a long time; put something out there that would revolutionize how high level athletes undertake their training. But I'm not utopic. I don't believe that this book will usher strength & power training into a new era. However, I'm sure that all of you will learn a lot of new training means, methods, and methodics from this book. What it will do is add a few tools to your coaching/athletic toolbox, allowing you to reach a new level of success in your training (or your athlete's).
With warmth and biblical insight, Frazee shows us how to rely on the power of the Holy Spirit just as Jesus did; respond to God’s voice in decisions big and small; raise our expectations for how God’s power can work through us; and break free of addictions, habits, and destructive thoughts that hold us back. The Bible promises us more than inspiration. More than influence. The Bible promises us access to the same power that raised Jesus from the dead. So what keeps us from drawing on that incredible resurrection power in our daily lives? In His Mighty Strength, popular pastor and author Randy Frazee explores Jesus’ time on earth to uncover the amazing source of his strength. Jesus continually sought direction from the Father and found the power to live the Father’s will through the Holy Spirit. He said yes to God every day of his earthly life—and we can too. His Mighty Strength reminds us that Jesus’ resurrection power is not wishful thinking or a poetic metaphor. It’s a real source of strength that we have access to right now. And when we embrace God’s offering, our lives will never be the same. “This is not a watered-down self-help book—this is a powerful Gospel-centered guide to walking in the fullness of Christ. I challenge you to read this amazing book and accept the glorious gift of strength from Christ that enables us to live the abundant life God has promised us!” —Francesca Battistelli, Grammy Award–winning singer-songwriter
This book offers an exciting new perspective on language socialization in Latino families. Tackling mainstream views of childhood and the role and nature of language socialization, leading researchers and teacher trainers provide a historical, political, and cultural context for the language attitudes and socialization practices that help determine what and how Latino children speak, read, and write. Representing a radical departure from the ways in which most educators have been taught to think about first language acquisition and second language learning, this timely volume: introduces the theories and methods of language socialization with memorable case studies of children and their families; highlights the diversity of Latino communities: offers important insights into the ways in which children learn to speak and read by negotiating overlapping and/or conflicting cultural models; and suggests universal practices to facilitate language socialization in multilingual communities, including applications for teachers.
The physical properties of mortars, the bond strength of the mortars to masonry units, and the structural strength of concrete masonry and composite masonry walls containing the mortars are discussed and compared. All of the mortars were tempered to as wet a consistency as could be conveniently handled by the mason. The compressive strength of the walls increased, in general, with the compressive strength of the mortar. The racking and flexural strengths of the walls increased with the bond strength of the mortar. The strength of bond test specimens tended to increase with the compressive strength of the wet consistency mortars that were used. However, bond strength appeared to be the dominant factor affecting the racking and flexural strength of the walls. Increase in both bond strength and wall strength with compressive strength of the mortar was not proportional to the relative compressive strengths of the type N and type S mortars. The stiffness of walls subjected to compressive and flexural loads increased with the bond and compressive strength of the mortars. However, the stiffness of walls subjected to flexural loads appeared to be more dependent upon the number of bed joints in the tensile face and on their extension in bond than upon the bending strains in the masonry materials.
