Dying is not a moment at the end of life, but instead a path lined with opportunities to reflect, explore, and contemplate. In an insightful guidebook on the meaning of death, Rabbi Ariel Stone shares spiritual commentary, Jewish stories, and other writings that provide information and inspiration about the process of death as seen through the prism of Jewish learning and culture. Through stories of those who have gone before us and a step-by-step process that addresses the spiritual significance of death, Stone offers ways to think, feel, and wonder about death while inviting the dying to overcome fears and view the end of earthly life as an opportunity to repent, reflect on the influence we have upon others, and find peace as our light merges with the eternal light. "The Alef-Bet of Death: Dying as a Jew" is a valuable guide that teaches the meaning of death in the Jewish tradition while offering clarity, light, and comfort to those walking the often vague and dark path to dying.

Whilst all 5 men lived in Vienna during 1913, there is no historical account of the time that factually clarifies that Hitler met Trotsky, or if Stalin knew Tito, or if Freud knew any of them at all. Maybe they never did but let's just imagine for a moment that they did. For the purpose of this book and from the journal of Professor Sigmund Freud; the question now becomes - what on earth would they have found the time to talk about...

Ніколи раніше Дмитро Громов та Олег Ладиженський неписали документальної прози - лише художню. Ніколи не вели щоденників. Але вторгнення в Україну все змінило. Ціщоденники - не фантастика, звична для Олді. Інша мова, інший стиль, відповідно до обставин. Ці нотатки писалися вобстрілюваних містах, підвалах i бомбосховищах, евакуаційних поїздах i автобусах, на орендованих квартирах укоротких паузах волонтерської лихоманки, між дзвінками друзям iблизьким.

On the advice of his old mentor in Vienna, Martin returns to his childhood home in South Africa. But he discovers that the country has changed in his seven-year absence - and not necessarily for the better. Battling with the demons of the 'New South Africa', his parents have taken in a new business partner, and two families, as tenants, to improve the security and financial situation on the family estate. But it is a tenuous community of mismatched people, and everybody is thinking about leaving the place. Nonetheless, Martin attempts to improve the situation on the estate with his artistic and spiritual gifts; and gradually he finds a bond of empathy to the Land and the People. But then, one day, Martin gets drawn into a racial dispute, confronting him with the grim reality of the country. Once again, Martin draws upon the memories of his old mentor, and attempts to mediate - in the Township of Tembisa, at sundown...

As an influential contribution to the emerging field of therapeutic storytelling, this book elucidates the profound power of narrative to heal psyche and spirit. Drawing upon extensive clinical experience, the author outlines effective techniques for employing storytelling to nurture creativity, self-understanding and emotional intelligence in children facing diverse challenges.Spanning various insightful points, the text analyzes common parenting approaches that, despite good intentions, often inadvertently suppress young imaginations. From over-structuring and repetitive routines to overemphasis on outcomes and arbitrary social judgments, such missteps discourage the risk-taking and self-exploration vital for creative flowering.In the first chapter, we critically analyze philosophies and best practices for promoting healthy childhood development. A child's journey from dependence to self-discovery is discussed, highlighting the need for parents to cultivate wisdom and compassion through alternating periods of tranquility and tumult.The second chapter provides an evidence-based framework for leveraging therapeutic storytelling to help children overcome psychological, developmental, and behavioral challenges. Drawing on clinical research, we delineate how skilled storytelling practitioners can externalize inner conflicts, reframe limiting narratives, and build resilience through metaphor, catharsis, and modeling self-efficacy.Specific techniques examined include reshaping negative thought patterns, conquering inner demons through allegory, fostering social participation for shy children, and customizing interventions based on disabilities. The therapeutic storytelling process aims to ignite children's agency to rewrite constricting narratives that hamper growth.In essence, this work evaluates storytelling as a tool to light up the human condition and nurture children's wellbeing. A developmental perspective is applied to provide actionable guidance on parenting philosophies and healing-centered narrative practices. Synthesizing modern psychology with timeless wisdom, this writing brings to light the storyteller's art of instilling self-belief through archetypal metaphors and role modeling. The overarching goal is cultivating empathy, curiosity, and compassion in children so their unique gifts may benefit society.

He tenido el gran privilegio de poder seguir los logros de un amigo de la infancia, Harm Wiersma, y posteriormente nos encontramos en España en la etapa de adultos. Él fue 6 veces campeón mundial y es el ejemplo perfecto de lo que se puede lograr con las cualidades del juego de damas en los negocios, la política, la academia y nuestra carrera social. En ese sentido, se encuentra en un nivel superior a Ton Sijbrands, que se enfoca únicamente en el juego. Por otro lado, Wiersma no solo fue jugador, sino también hombre de negocios e incluso fue miembro del parlamento en La Haya de un partido político. En las conversaciones que tuve con él, la palabra "impulso" siempre salía a relucir.Intentaré presentar las cualidades que se mejoran al jugar a las damas, y son muchas. Ambos hemos sido capaces de aprovechar estas cualidades en nuestra carrera social. Al tratar estos atributos, el nombre de Wiersma aparece muchas veces. Espero que esta primera parte sea un estímulo para los jóvenes jugadores de damas y ajedrez.

"Hierarchical Classifications in Constraint Satisfaction" starts by recalling the main universal classifications of the instances of a finite binary Constraint Satisfaction Problem, defined in previous books by the same author, as well as their first applications to the Sudoku case. It then introduces a software (SHC) specially developed by François Cordoliani to implement them in the Sudoku case. Finally, it analyses in detail the classification results thus obtained and it shows that the short SHC computation times suggest to use it in the ongoing search for the "hardest" puzzles.

El fascinante mundo de la literatura nos depara sorpresas inesperadas y hallazgos reveladores. Mientras me adentraba en el vasto océano de las numerosas obras del renombrado poeta Carlos Cano, mis ojos tropezaron fortuitamente con el nombre del enigmático Tirso Camacho, un poeta cuya existencia había quedado en el olvido a pesar de haber vivido muchos años en la pintoresca localidad de Cieza. Mis indagaciones me llevaron a descubrir que el nieto de Tirso, Manuel Enrique Gutiérrez Camacho, había dedicado gran parte de su vida a escribir acerca de este ilustre antepasado. Echando mano de los variados periódicos de la época, pronto me percaté de la indiscutible influencia que este poeta había ejercido, evidenciada por la proliferación de sus obras en el escenario literario. No obstante, su legado iba más allá de la pluma y la poesía, pues también había desem-peñado un destacado papel como abogado y se había labrado una admirable experiencia en tierras extranjeras.

Volume 11 Eschatology is the study of last things. The Bible says "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen." (Revelation 1:7). Their is no greater testimony of intimate friendship than one revealing all their future plans and aspirations to their friend. Jesus said it this way, "Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you" (John 15:15). The Lord Jesus Christ materialized this intimacy in the Revelation of Jesus Christ, and only those believers on such an intimate basis with Christ can read its pages with an ear to hear. Consequentially, what one grasps in the study of eschatology is a good indicator of their standing in the intimacy of the Lord Jesus Christ.We're in the last of the last days and there are three essential concepts to understanding the doctrine of last things. First there is coming a kingdom age where Christ will fulfill the promises made to the nation of Israel. "And so all Israel shall be saved ..." (Rom.11:26). The disciples with the risen Christ asked, "Wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? ..." (Acts.1:6-7). But it will happen!Secondly know, "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass", ... records, "the things which shall be hereafter" (Rev.1:1,19). And third know the hereafter comes after this dispensation of grace, the church age, closes. "Dispensation" and "stewardship" come from the same Greek word. Jesus gives multiple stewardship parables, and then Paul uses that same stewardship principle describing this dispensation. (Eph.3:2-6). The church age must end before the dispensation of the fullness of times (Eph.1:10)Volume 12 Epilogue is the Systematic Theology for the 21st Century's epilogue. This volume contains the introductions and/or conclusions and table of contents for eleven previous volumes of "A Systematic Theology for the 21st Century" A Christian, being one who has individually confessed and accepted the atoning blood of Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, for their saving, has a quickened, corrected, and personal relationship with the LORD God and Creator. They also have a charge from him that they carefully develop a theology.

2022 revealed quickly itself to be the year of the beast. Poems, jottings, snippets and musings follow the seasons, months along it, forming a diary of sorts.

On the Dialler is the poet Aaron Ingram's first collect of poems. These poems are largely the product of the physical space in which they were written-a Call Centre. As physical spaces go, the demands forced upon me did require of me a particular type of endurance whilst in the pursuit of income. That, in my time between calls, I was able to draft the bones of these poems is a far greater reward than any financial recompense for telephone operator services rendered.Each poem sits in the chronological order of its original rendering. Whilst each section-or Part, as it were-denotes an undisclosed block of time, the duration of each is immaterial; as, the implicit feeling of one journeying onwards to a final destination is (seemingly) an over-arching feature of the collection, when treated as a whole-at least this is both my hope and intention.
