Beautiful Black Holes For Kids!
Introduction Space, the final frontier… to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life,and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before. ~ Gene Roddenberry *** The universe is full of surprises! We can find amazing things like galaxies, planets, comets, asteroids, moons, meteorites, and more! One of the strangest objects we can find in space is called a… black hole. Have you ever heard of black holes? What do you know about them? Let’s learn more! Black holes are dark areas in space with strong gravity. Not all black holes are black and we cannot see them, but we know they are there. How do we know they exist even though we can’t see them? Scientists study the things that happen around a black hole, and that tells them a black hole is there. The force of a black hole is so strong light cannot escape. Do you know what happens to light when it gets near a black hole? Strong gravity pulls light and everything else into the center. It is so strong that nothing escapes the powerful force, and everything falls in! Black holes come in lots of different sizes. Some are big, and some are small. Some black holes are so big; they are called supermassive black holes. That’s a big, big hole! Black holes affect not only space but time too. How so? Did you know time changes when you get near a black hole? Yes, it does! This is because of Einstein’s theory of relativity. Let’s find out how black holes work and what else we can learn about this mysterious force in the universe!

This black magic is added to the wedding quilt by a helpless 17-year-old beautiful slave whose rather monstrous and spoiled, self-centered mistress intends to sell her off after her own wedding and then orders her to make her wedding quilt. And evil is prayed into every stitch, every patch, every inch of the quilt cursing the mistress and her husband with death and destruction. And that took me to the idea of writing a book on quilting. Quilting has long been a tradition in many places where things of beauty were made by a group of women gathering together and gossiping in their leisure time while they made something useful for their families. In the East, traditionally was embroidery work done by the elderly women sitting in the sun, and stitching the clothes of their granddaughters. When one of my aunts got married, she wore a heavy veil of which every inch had been stitched lovingly by her friends every afternoon. That veil is, of course, 45 years old now, and a priceless heirloom. This was a traditional practice in many parts of the world, but also there was an age old practice of piecing together scrap patches of fabric and then sewing them by hand edge to edge to create decorative designs and patterns. Do not confuse patchwork with quilting. These are 2 different art forms often done together. Patchwork has gone back millenniums, in ancient Egypt, Asia, Africa, and Europe, when pieces of cloth which had been so long around that you really could not be bothered to repair the garment were gathered together and made into something useful for the house.

The condition usually comes without any signs or warnings and a person can be prone to it for years without even knowing about its presence. But, its apparent invisibility does not mean that it sits quietly within one’s body; while a person is unaware of it, it wreaks havoc within one’s body and damages multiple organs. Blood pressure, as will be explained in great detail later,is the force that the blood applies on the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps blood in the body. The pressure by which the blood flows can rise or fall, but if it remains high for a long period of time it can start damaging the body. The condition is loosely known as High Blood Pressure. Knowing your blood pressure numbers is vital, as well as, necessary even if you feel nothing’s going wrong. If your blood pressure is normal, no need to worry, but if it is reaching an abnormal level, you may require treatment.

Did you know that polar bears communicate with each other? You may have seen pictures of polar bears many times, but what do you really know about them? Are polar bears really white? There are so many interesting things to learn about these powerful bears! About Polar Bears When polar bears live outdoors in the wild, they can live to be about 15 to 18 years old. However, there have been some bears recorded to have been as old as 31 or 32 years old. Polar Bears that live in captivity (not living in the wild) can many times live to be between 35 – 39 years old. In fact, there was a female polar bear that lived to the age of 42 in a Canadian zoo! Polar bears are very smart. In fact, a research scientist claimed that polar bears are every bit as smart as apes. A hungry polar bear was observed smashing open blocks of ice to get to the fish that were frozen inside. These bear can be playful as well. Some bears were observed stacked up plastic pipes, just to knock them all down again. To help the polar bear survive in the Arctic, they need to rely on their senses. They have very good hearing and eyesight, as well as a good sense of smell. Their teeth are very sharp and spaced far apart. This helps them when they eat, and to hold onto their prey.

Tackling the Problem of Constipation - Natural Ways and Means of Preventing and Curing Constipation
Table of Contents Introduction Symptoms of Constipation Causes of Constipation Biological Reasons for Constipation Eating Habits Toxin buildup Drugs in Your System Overuse of Harmful Laxatives Other Reasons for Constipation Pathogen Poisoning Traditional Treatments Stress and Strain Affecting Biological Processes Natural Remedies A Traditional Meal Example A Natural Laxative for Constipation Water Therapy Prevention of Constipation Old-Time Diets Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction I happened to visit a friend of mine who was busy in her clinic and just overheard a number of patients talking about their symptoms. After half an hour of listening to a majority of them, I noticed one thing, “so how is your bowel movement,” was one of the questions which was asked by my doctor friend, almost habitually, and in an almost absent-minded manner. So I began to wonder why a body process, – elimination of waste products from your body – which was not discussed in public, often suddenly began to be a topic of conversation, of great interest, among the medical fraternity as well as among the general public. Instead of “How Do You Do” which is a good opportunity for anybody to begin describing the state of his digestive system, which has suddenly become sluggish. For such people, there is only one doggerel which suits the purpose well – I have no interest in listening about your digestion "how are you" is a polite statement not a question. When I told my doctor friend this, she sighed, and said, well, she had to ask this question because half of the problems which were diagnosed in her clinic were due to bad eating habits, including starvation, malnutrition, and other lifestyle related health problems. And that included constipation in a big way. In fact, she half laughingly said that in the civilized world, constipation was so common an ailment, that this could be called The Era of Constipation.

Knowing how to raise healthy, hardy sheep is the key to profitability. And know you will…if you take the time to become familiar with what lies within the pages of this book. By doing so you will be ready for lambing, be able to spot a potential problem before it becomes one and make management decisions that will make your flock stand head and shoulders above the rest.

How to Clean Windows - And other things your Mom should have taught you about Cleaning
Introduction Deep Cleaning Window Frames Window Tracks Window Guards Screens Blinds Shades Shutters Curtains/Drapes Storm Windows and Skylights Windows Jalousies Time Monthly Cleaning Weekly Cleaning Daily Cleaning Apparel Supplies Cleaning on a budget Tips Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Windows used to be the best source of light people had before electricity and were therefore kept very clean and well cared for. Nowadays, windows are one of the last things we think of when we think of cleaning (Unless you''re like me and need to be able to see out the window at all times), because we really don''t need them like we used to; and besides, who has time to worry about windows of which really don''t matter when it comes to making your house look presentable right? Wrong. Windows are one of the little things you do to make your house look clean that makes a bigger difference than what you would think. It''s like cleaning the entire bathroom and leaving the rug on the floor unshaken. It still has all the hair and dirt and lint on it and makes people wonder what else is not all clean in there. Okay so it''s not that bad when people see your windows aren''t washed, but it doesn''t give your home a very spick and span feeling about it when you look out the window and see smudges of grease from your forehead or nose (we all have them don''t deny it). Especially when you have kids, they are going to get dirtier faster because kids have some kind of an attraction to windows that adults cannot fathom, though we were children once ourselves. Cleaning windows is important to giving your home a bright, clean feeling and this book is meant to tell you how to clean them as good as a professional.

This milk is the main constituent of a number of other products like cheese, butter, yogurt, cottage cheese, and buttermilk. This book is going to tell you all about how you can use these products to cure a number of ailments. In ancient times, a man’s prosperity was counted by the number of livestock he had in his farm, including goats, sheep, cows, horses, and other such domesticated animals. That is why in ancient books, the milk of a cow has been described in such glowing terms – The spinal cord of a cow has a nerve called Sunlight in it. Whenever the Sun God showers his rays on the body of a cow grazing in the fields, the rays are turned into gold when they touch the nerve called sunlight. That is the reason why the butter and the milk you get from a cow is golden in color. Talk about imagination! But this is the reason why when the Celtic and Gaulic tribes left Britain during the Roman conquest, the women walked in front of the cows and horses in order to protect them! That means if any one tried stealing the cows away, they would have to go through the warrior women first! Traditionally, milk was drank fresh without heating. It is only nowadays that we pasteurize it in order to get rid of all the germs. The yellowish color, supposed to be gold from the rays of the sun [!] is nothing but fat globules in the milk. The white color of the milk is due to casein. This is rich in nourishing and nutritional calcium. That is the reason why growing children are given a glass full of milk morning and evening, so that they have strong bones, good teeth and a healthy constituency. Traditionally, it is believed that the best time to drink milk is in the early morning. According to the ancients, the milk was digested as the sun went up, taking with it the benefit of the rays of the sun. That is why milk and milk products were never given to members of the family during the evening hours. There is a scientific reason behind this belief. It takes about three hours for milk to digest. That is why, if you are drinking milk at night in order to sleep more peacefully, do not go to sleep, as soon as you drink the milk.

Introduction to Zen - Living With Less
Table of Contents Introduction History of Zen Zazen Koans Zen Arts Conclusory Remarks Author Bio Publisher Introduction The contemporary man is often at unease. Despite the significant advances in technology, rises in material standards of living, and the license to do almost whatever one pleases he is never at peace with himself and his surroundings. He rarely has the time to pursue peace. His schedule is hectic, he is constantly pestered by the demands of an incessant and all-enveloping communication network, and his work is rote and routine. His existence is functionary, tasteless, and uncreative. If this reminiscent of your experience of life, you need not feel ashamed. It is the plague of the contemporary and secular world. Our ancestors, despite unimaginable hardships, lived in a world populated by gods, spirits, ritual, and poetry. Their often agricultural lives revolved around the seasons, their sailors looked to the stars for directions, and their holidays (holy-days etymologically) were days of worship and celebration of the mysteries and glory of life. Everything in their world was rife with ultimate and hierarchic significance- everyone from the peasant to the king knew their place in the world, their relation to their fellow man, and their duties to their gods or God (anno domini). Unfortunately, the industrial and scientific revolutions have removed the superficial air of mystery that permeated nature and the core of experience. Capitalism’s re-evaluation of values and objects according to their utility and quantifiability made things like comfort, entertainment, and usefulness more “valuable” than non-quantifiable values like beauty, courage, and valor. Our technology has estranged us from nature and our jobs lack the color and beauty of the ancient craftsmen and farmers. It seems as though we have become slaves to a technical bureaucratic system that should be serving us! I have written this short text in the hope that it will bring peace, creativity, and serenity to your life. I do not expect that it will be the answer to all of your questions or problems in this life. I merely hope that it lead you to deepen your experience of reality, focus your attention, and cultivate your person. The pursuit of peace and serenity is one that, happily, is up to each of us individually to uncover through trial and error, or less painfully, through wisdom and insight. May you use this text to your advantage. Deo gratias.

Main Dishes Chapter # 1: Baked Omelet Pie Chapter # 2: Barbecued Beef Chapter # 3: Stuffed Peppers Chapter # 4: Lamb Chops Chapter # 5: Mexican Style Meat Desserts Chapter # 1: Zucchini Bread Chapter # 2: Flourless Chocolate Cake Chapter # 3: Peanut Butter Cookies Conclusion References Author Bio Publisher Prelude The Celiac disease is a disorder that is not unheard of. People who suffer from this disorder are prone to stomach damage if they consume foods containing gluten. A gluten-free diet specifically targets these people and is thus a diet that excludes foods containing gluten. When consumed, gluten causes inflammation in the small intestine that leads to other signs and symptoms. In order to prevent and bring these signs under check, gluten must be avoided. Any person, unless of course an experienced medical practitioner, cannot build his/her own diet out of scratch, even though the diet’s name is pretty much self-explanatory. This is where this book comes in; it relieves you of any doubt about the causes of the problems the diet deals with, to its recipes, so you would have complete knowledge when you shift to the non-gluten regimen. Moreover, the diet is also applicable to people with non-celiac gluten sensitivity which will be explained later. Note that people with non-celiac gluten sensitivity may or may not benefit from a gluten-free diet, but for sufferers of celiac disease, a gluten-free meal plan is a necessity rather than a suggestion. Switching to the diet can itself be a big step as it will pretty much involve you to substitute each gluten component of your diet with something new. But with courage, faith, and guidance in the right direction, it is not that difficult to accomplish this goal. Read on and find out more!
