A vivid and enlightening oral account of homelessness in the Las Vegas storm drains and the hard work of re-entering mainstream society. Are you aware that hundreds of people live underground in the flood channels of Las Vegas? Few people were until Matthew O'Brien grabbed a flashlight, tape recorder, and expandable baton for protection and explored the storm-drain system in depth. This research resulted in his landmark book Beneath the Neon. Now the drains have been covered by CNN, Fox News, NPR, Dr. Phil, the New York Times, the BBC, Al Jazeera, and many other media outlets. They have even found their way on to popular TV shows, including CSI, Criminal Minds, and into mainstream movies. But the fact that several of these drug- and gambling-addicted tunnel dwellers have clawed their way out of the drains and turned around their lives has received far less attention. Dark Days, Bright Nights shares their harrowing stories and provides a unique perspective on one of America's most fascinating cities. It also paints a larger picture of homelessness and recovery in America. These stories are the happy (though not Hollywood) ending to the infamous tunnel tale. The narrative is complemented by bios and stark, black-and-white images of the survivors, putting a scarred, knowing face to the unblinkingly honest accounts.
Tales, Myths & Other Stories came about as a result of home-schooling my son, Dhanvantari. His assignments included using his imagination to recreate and explore ancient mythology and literature: Plato, the Srimad Bhagavatam, the Decameron, and other tales. More material came from real-life locations in Tennessee and from incidents such as the Roswell UFO crash in 1947. The stories include themes of mythology, science fiction, adventure, and family. There is humor and emotion in every story. As much as possible, I tried to avoid violence, except as an historical footnote, in order to promote a more peaceful mindset for a better world. My sister Debbi, a professional educator, has often told me that reading is becoming a lost art among young people, and it is my hope that this collection of stories will promote a new love of literature and a more vivid imagination among all those who enjoy it.
An illustrated anthology of uplifting poetry.
During the Cultural Revolution, Mao exhorted the Chinese people to “smash the four olds”: old customs, old culture, old habits, and old ideas. Yet when the Red Guards in Tiananmen Square chanted “We want to see Chairman Mao,” they unknowingly used a classical rhythm that dates back to the Han period and is the very embodiment of the four olds. An Anatomy of Chinese reveals how rhythms, conceptual metaphors, and political language convey time-honored meanings of which Chinese speakers themselves may not be consciously aware, and contributes to the ongoing debate over whether language shapes thought, or vice versa. Perry Link’s inquiry into the workings of Chinese reveals convergences and divergences with English, most strikingly in the area of conceptual metaphor. Different spatial metaphors for consciousness, for instance, mean that English speakers wake up while speakers of Chinese wake across. Other underlying metaphors in the two languages are similar, lending support to theories that locate the origins of language in the brain. The distinction between daily-life language and official language has been unusually significant in contemporary China, and Link explores how ordinary citizens learn to play language games, artfully wielding officialese to advance their interests or defend themselves from others. Particularly provocative is Link’s consideration of how Indo-European languages, with their preference for abstract nouns, generate philosophical puzzles that Chinese, with its preference for verbs, avoids. The mind-body problem that has plagued Western culture may be fundamentally less problematic for speakers of Chinese.
In the past, when Bhagwan Vishnu Avatar came to Dharti, He came alone. But, this time Bhagwan Vishnu as Shri Rama Avatar came together with Lakshmi Mata as Shri Mata Sita, Bhagwan Brahma as Maharaja Bharata, Bhagwan Shiva as Rishi Purohit, Ganesha Deva as Rajkumar Lakshmana, Subramaynan Deva as Rajkumar Shatruguna, Prajapati Daksha Deva as Rishi Vasishtha, Vayu Deva as Hanuman, Surya Deva as Maharaja Ravana, Sarsvati Devi as Maharani Kaushlya, Parvati Mata as Maharani Kaykai, and Dhatri Devi as Maharani Sumitra and other Deva and Devi as Rishi Agastya, Rishi Chaitanya, Rishi Parushrama, Rishi Manu, Rishi Kali Mata and Durga Mata. Shri Rama and His Yugam (team) urged Hindu Jana to recognize the bounds and the values of Brahmi Srishti, Satyanarayan Tantra (doctrine or theory), Rishi Shatrupa Tantra, Rishi Gautama Tantra, Ghanta Vitarana Vakra Tantra, Daksha Deva Tantra, Ganesha Deva Shastra (Kushalta), Kartikeya Deva Shastra (Navikarana), Rishi Vasishtha Tantra, Shri Mata Sita Tantra, Shatruguna Tantra and Samantar Jivan Tantra. Shri Rama and His Yugam (team) came to awaken Hindu Jana to move towards the state of perfection from the state of imperfection. One Jiva at a time, one Samaj at time, one Nagar at a time and one Mahajanapada at a time. Shri Rama challenges Bhagwan Satvishwas of Hindu Jana to accept Bhagwan Mansha (wisdom) to have diversity and distribution of Guna (gifts and skills. Use that Bhagwan Satvishwas to acquire Rajya Yogita. That Rajya Yogita would allow true believers to start moving from the state of imperfections towards the state of perfection. If you truly believe, Bhagwan is the Creator of all and He is all powerful then accept His Wisdom of having diversity of religions and His team’s a strong sense of humor in all diversity we see in the Brahmi Bhavana (god’s creations). He urges us to have some sense of humor. One of the best way to please Bhagwan is to provide continual training in Kala (skills) and opportunities so that hungry can provide for their own food; thirsty have access to clean water and naked have their own clothes. Shri Rama and His Yugam (team) urge Hindu Jana to acquire Madhukar Swabhava (honey bee mind-set) who look for nectar in flowers and while doing that pollinate these plants to grow; and to avoid Makshika Swabhava (flies mind-set) that zeroes in all that we hold to be dirty and obnoxious. Shri Rama and His Yugam (team) challenge Hindu Jana to grow up to be Shishu Praudha (adult children) of Bhagwan. As Praudha, they will not only take care of themselves but also help Muka (mute), Akantha (voiceless) and Vidhura (helpless). They will provide part of their resources and time to see that Brahmi Bhavana is protected and there is no cruelty against Pashu (animals), Pakshin (birds) and Matsya (fish) and their Vasa Prakritika (natural habitat) is protected. Shri Rama and His Yugam (team) supported Abadha Vyapara Arthavyavastha (free market economy) that protects and enhances Kraya Samartha (purchasing power) of Janta. And accept inequality due diversity and inequality of skills. This means some among us would not be able to take care of themselves; hence need for safety nets and challenge to our generosity. Shri Rama and His Yugam (team) believed in an elected civilian government with limited term dictatorial powers. Their primary roles would be to maintain Dharma (law and order), Samanta (fairness) and act as managers of the public resources; passing new laws and regulations would be their secondary role.
Are you bright? Do you know someone who is? Among the bright population, many social, emotional, and intellectual abilities are unrecognized. Bright people are misunderstood and mislabeled as awkward geeks, mad scientists, maladjusted poets, oversensitive artists, hyperactive clowns, or antisocial misfits. Do you want to understand the science behind why intelligent, sensitive, and highly creative brains are simply different? In Insight into a Bright Mind, Dr. Nicole Tetreault translates recent groundbreaking research examining the minds of the most highly intelligent, creative, and intense brains, and explores new directions for the neurodiverse experiences of humans. You will learn how your brain is as unique as your fingerprint, and how your experience is elevated because you are simply "hard-wired" differently! Insight into a Bright Mind is intensely argued in favor of neuroindividuality, superbly researched with the latest scientific data, and deeply invested in engaging with a myriad of bright minds capturing their essence through storytelling and voice. Be liberated to embrace your essence with greater self-compassion and awareness, and unlock your unconventional mind.
