God wants your heart.   The whole Bible teaches truth and awakens emotions, but the Psalms are in a category of their own. They do not just awaken heart; they put it in the foreground. They do not just invite our emotions to respond to God’s truth; they put our emotions on display. The Psalms are not just commanding; they are contagious. We are not just listening to profound ideas and feelings. We are living among them in their overflow. We touch pillows wet with tears. We hear and feel the unabashed cries of affliction, shame, regret, grief ...

In I Never Wanted to Be a Princess - Good Thing or How I lost 380 Pounds without Diet or Exercise , the events are true life experiences, including the issues with the chocolate syrup can.

The intent—to inspire others to keep up the good fight. Punching a forty-pound long bag helps. We all have storms in our lives, and many have had more “him-a-canes” and “her-a-canes” than ...

Mutual Aid, Peter Kropotkin’s most famous work, is both an Anarchist Classic and an important Biological treatise.  It was written as a direct rebuttal of T.H. Huxley’s ‘Hobbesian’ assertion that human society was a constant battle of “all against all”, and that civilisation only existed by imposition of order from above (an argument that was used by the ruling class to validate unjust societal norms). Kropotkin does not deny the existence of competition between individuals and groups, but amasses an overwhelming ...

Na história da humanidade, um diálogo incessante entre o presente e o passado, a experiência demonstrou que a forma mais fácil de recordar a história, de narrar os acontecimentos, de tomar conhecimento dos assuntos, foi contá-los; mesmo os menos hábeis compreenderam o estilo mais eficaz para descrever a variedade de fenómenos deste processo contínuo, um colóquio constante entre o historiador e os factos, que tem sido a história.

Seit dem Jahr 2006 sind Stromkabelverbindungen zwischen Deutschland und Norwegen geplant, die angesichts der zum Teil volatilen Stromproduktion regenerativer Energien kurzfristig auftretende Über- oder Unterangebote abfedern und so den Ausbau der Erneuerbaren unterstützen sollen. Bisher konnte jedoch noch keines der Übertragungskabel realisiert werden. Sabine Reichert untersucht in diesem Kontext die handlungsleitenden Bedingungen der in ...

Aristotle noted that "equality" is the plea not of those who are satisfied but of those who seek change, and the word has long been invoked in the name of social reform. It retains its force because arguments for equality put arguments for inequality on the defensive. But why is "equality" laudatory and "inequality" pejorative? In this first book-length analysis of the rhetorical force of equality arguments, Peter Westen argues that they derive their persuasiveness largely from the kind of word that "equality" is, rather than from the values it incorporates. ...
