Written by a Sydney native, English, The Aussie Way: A Fun Guide to Australia''s Colourful Phrases, Words, and Expressions offers an amusing way for English or non-English speakers around the world to learn the colloquial phrases for which Australia is famous.This user-friendly reference provides words/phrases and meanings/synonyms by using an example sentence.Says the author,"For seven years I housed international students who were attending English language schools in Sydney, and I realised that although they had a good grasp of formal grammar, they struggled to understand not only colloquial English, but many of the commonly used phrasal verbs, which could not be found in a standard English/Spanish, French, etc., dictionary. It was then that I decided to start writing some of them down for future reference and it grew from there." Lynne Maree Walsh was born and raised in the northern beaches area of Sydney, Australia. Most of her childhood activities involved water sports such as sailing and surfing. She was a vocational education trainer and part-time ESL teacher at a business college in Sydney. The mother of two sons, she now lives in Denver, Colorado. She next wants to publish her great-grandmother''s 1911 travel journal.Publisher''s website: http://sbprabooks.com/LynneMareeWalsh

The conquest of the city by Spaniards brings together five families, whose stories are told as they struggle to survive in war-torn Cordoba, while three families flee the city forever.The families are Muslim as well as Christian and Jews, whose ancestors had to convert to the Muslim faith or face exile. The hazardous journeys by the families that left the city and their uncertain futures are explored in this fascinating historical saga.To understand the situation of Cordoba and the Iberian Peninsula in the thirteenth century, historians point to the 711 invasion by a Berber Umayyad dynasty from North Africa. They defeated the ruling Visigoths, putting the entire Iberian Peninsula in their hands, except for the far northern part. Under Muslim governance, this area was known as Al Andalus. The Umayyad stayed in power until 1031. Between then and the conquest of Cordoba by the Spaniards in 1236, various Muslim rulers ruled Al Andalus.The golden age of Jews living in Muslim Spain is considered to have started at the beginning of the tenth century, but ended with the fall of the Umayyad caliphate. Cordoba had a population at that time of about 400,000, and was the largest city in all of Europe.

Beloved I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers 3 John 2 (NKJV)It has been a dream of mine to prosper financially using biblical principles. I prayed about it, and then one morning, the Lord told me that it was time and that He would teach me.He instructed me to wait on Him every morning and to write down the things He taught me. I followed His instructions, guidance, and wisdom, writing it all down for a full year. This book is the result of our time together.To my surprise, this became a book of many books! The Lord would guide me to a specific book, teach me from it, and then move on to the next book.It was totally supernatural!As I followed the leading of the Lord, it became clear to me that God was taking me on a year-long journey of prospering my soul, which in turn would influence my financial situation. I learnt that I could not prosper in any given area unless my soul prospered in that area too, hence the book''s title.This book takes many twists and turns, and even has a few surprises.Did I reach my goal of financial prosperity?You have to read it to find out!(About the Author) Vicki Heymann loves to teach people how to walk and live in victory in all areas of their lives. She completed a Bible course through Jerry Savelle Ministries, earning a ministerial diploma. She is also the writer of Break Through and Break Free!

Finally, the vision of Fredrick Nietzsche''s Overman (Superman) has come into being.Unfortunately, the lives of many males are constantly destroyed and persecuted for their primitive behaviors and sexual urges. How will Overman (Superman) deal with his own human needs and desires of the flesh, and what consequences will he face for entering the dark side of his ultimate fate and the curse of fetishes?This book is about earliest man (caveman) evolving to become today''s supreme modern man. Warning: For adults only. Not recommended for the spiritual or righteous."While there may be differences in nations, cultures, and family bloodlines, in the creator''s understanding, all beings, especially humans, are all connected into one family from the same maker. Therefore, even though emotionally filled beings in pride and enthusiasm are credited and responsible for creating endless ideas and things of beauty, they''re also responsible for separating and causing inhuman acts and conflicts that killed their fellow beings, just as Cain did to Abel."
وُلِدَ الدكتور توفيق الأنصاري في مدينة النجف وبالرغم ممّا عاناهُ من آلام فقدان الأم والإهمال العائلي بعد ذلك في طفولته إلاّ أنه بقى على حبّهِ إلى النجف متباهياً بتعلّقه بدفينها الإمام علي بن أبي طالب.وكان هذا التعلّق سبباً في إحساسه المبكّر بالظلم الإجتماعي والسياسي في مدينة النجف وفي العراق وغيره من البلداان العربيّة وبقيّة العالم.وتجد ذلك با ئنناً في ديوانه الأّول الآلام والدواوين الأُخرى بعد ذلك.غير أنّه اسثنى هذا الديوان واقتصره على الأحداث والمناسبات العائلية. وكان يبتدع هذه المناسبات لإضافة الحب والجمال إلى عائلتهِ ومحبّيهِ الذين تفانى في سبيلهم وأخلص لهم. وقد نجح الدكتور توفيق الأنصاري في غرس مفاهيمه بالظلم الإجتماعي والفساد السياسي للنظام الرأسمالي في بعض أولاده وأحفاده والذين نشأوا قي بحبوحة من العيش الذي يبعدهم عن هذه القيم والمعتقدات. والسبب في عدم إستطاعتهِ في إقناع بقية أولاده وأحفاده هو إيمانه العميق بحرّية الرأي ولهذا السبب حضي باحترامهم وتقديرهم بالرغم من الإختلاف الفكري الكبير.وقد حاول الدكتور توفيق وزوجتهَ أم ميثاق في توطيد علاقاتهِ مع كلِّ عوائل آل الأنصاري ولم تبخل أم ميثاق بمدِّ يد العون إ لى كلِّ من احتاجها وغيرهم وبقيت منزلة توفيق ومنزلة زوجتهِ محترمةً عند الجميع. (نبذة عن الكاتب) وُلد توفيق أنصاري في النجف بالعراق ، وأكمل المدارس الابتدائية والثانوية هناك ، ثم انتقل إلى بغداد للالتحاق بكلية الطب. لقد قام بدراسات ما بعد التخرج والتخصص في المملكة المتحدة "لقد خدمت المحرومين في العراق والمملكة المتحدة والولايات المتحدة. هذا هو كتابه الخامس.
The drive to overcome nature is a projection of the anxiety about succumbing to our own nature. Inevitably, this conflict creates a vicious circle. For in subduing nature to our technical goals – themselves arranged so that our human frailty is to be overcome – we end up destroying the world in which we must live.Of late, we have begun to recognize this viciousness, both in our acts and more profoundly, in our thoughts. Yet the attempt to lose our nature by losing Nature holds an even deeper conflict: “The most effective means of escaping spiritual trial is to become spiritless, and the sooner the better. If only taken care of in time, everything takes care of itself.” (Kierkegaard, 1844).Social philosopher G.V. Loewen is the author of forty books on ethics, education, aesthetics, religion, health and social theory, and more recently, metaphysical adventure fiction. He was a professor in the interdisciplinary human sciences for two decades.“The Penumbra of Personhood is not only the cumulative effect and expression of the primordial characters of Dasein, flung along with my being into the world,” writes the author, “it is also the most graceful and eloquent response to the unknown that we possess. It is, in its own thrown essence, the fullest divergence from any violence of the reactionary or technique of the manager. It is objectively what we are and thus what we have to offer our own time.”Ironically, the State has to contend not with history, the writing of which it mainly controls, but rather morality, part of the pre-State metaphysics and a version of collective human vanity that also claims to be timeless.If it is at first striking that even in our time, morality has retained such a hold, on second glance it is at least not surprising. It has ironically become the weapon of the private person, and this is very much against its own cosmogonical backdrop.Morality is shared, as is belief that the one stems from the other, and in this they are quite unlike either ethics or opinion, also having become the pedestal upon which any demagogue can be placed. The uttering of a “higher law” betrays the moralist at every turn.Even if the State can delicately navigate these potentially dangerous currents while affording to ignore mere moral editorializing – an inevitable whirlpool in any democracy at least – if enough “private” people recognize that their misgivings are shared, morality can once again assume a vestige of its former mantle. It becomes a rip-tide of conventional “wisdom” against which this or that elected regime may ride or be ridden over.If this is the most vulgar expression of Dasein’s will to life, and even ontically, will to freedom, then it cannot be ignored by the reflective person. It is the final avenue of appeal in a rationalist social organization.Equipped with its own divinity, morality finds that it still has some suasion in the courts, certainly within many families, and in the schools. It is society’s “back door man,” to use an old Blues phrase, to point up its consistent vulgarity.

For readers of The Celestine Prophecy, this is what you’ve been waiting for. Reality Check was written for everyone else who knows that we’re on the verge of pushing Mother Nature and the economy to the breaking point.Reality Check shows the urgent need to reverse humanity’s downward spiral by undoing the status quo. Half the book is filled with quotes from the likes of Chomsky, Sagan, Carlin, Goodall, Soros, Orwell, Asimov, Hegel, William James, Sting and the Beatles, as well as some of the most popular TV shows and movies.This over-the-top attempt to avert an “evolutionary crash” hopes instead to turn the situation into an “evolutionary bounce” by galvanizing members of the so-called “choir” who already understand that the status quo needs to be revamped. Otherwise, civilization as we know it won’t last much longer.The book addresses everything from parenting to economics, political systems to global warming and general environmental destruction, as well as sociology, history and God.It’s time for a reality check!

Time was meaningless. Death was waiting. Anything touching ground zero that showed the barbarous revenge of the Vietcong ended in a dried bloodbath for whoever served South Vietnam’s government. This all happened after North Vietnam’s last invasion succeeded on April 30, 1975.Humanity absented itself into the hell of a prison that was called re-education. Vietcong killed the soldiers and public servants of South Vietnam using the cruel methods of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia.Prisoners were executed, tortured, lacked food, endured illness without medicine, and were subjected to forced labor, which created spiritual intimidation. The Vietcong killed about 165,000 among 800,000 prisoners, while the leftists in society concealed the human rights violations of the Vietcong.Author Quang Hong Mac survived, escaping by boat after spending more than five years in a Vietcong re-education camp. He resettled in the U.S. and continues to fight for democracy.Sharing his untold stories with U.S. public officials and another former Vietcong prisoner, this book was written to debunk paranoid socialists in democratic countries.The author believes his book can inform the Western World the truth about communism and socialism.About the Author : Quang Hong Mac, a captain in the South Vietnam Army (ARVN) and an injured pilot in the 1968 Tet offensive battle, was imprisoned for five years after Saigon fell in 1975.

He rebuilt his life from zero, graduating as an electrical engineer. Now retired, the author was editor of Philadelphia Rß║íng ─Éông Sunrise magazine and was an adviser on Asia for Pennsylvania’s governor. He has never returned to Vietnam.
