The topic of inner peace addresses a universal need. There is nobody on this planet that does not desire inner peace. It is not a desire that is new to our time; rather, it is something that everybody has been searching for throughout the ages, regardless of color, creed, religion, race, nationality, age, sex, wealth, ability or technological advancement.People have taken a variety of different paths in trying to achieve inner peace, some through accumulating material possessions and wealth, others through drugs; some through music, others through meditation; some through their husbands and wives, others through their careers and some through their children's achievements. And the list goes on.Yet the search also goes on. In our time we have been led to believe that technological advancement and modernization will produce for us physical comforts and through these we will attain inner peace.However, if we were to take the most technologically advanced and most industrialized nation in the world, America, then we would see that what we have been led to believe is not factual. The statistics show that in America some 20 million adults suffer from depression yearly; and what is depression but a total lack of inner peace? Furthermore in the year 2000 death rate due to suicide was double the rate of those who died from Aids. However, the news media being what it is, we hear more about those who die from Aids than we do about those who die by committing suicide. Also more people die from suicide in America than from homicide, and the homicide rates themselves are massive.So the reality is that technological advancement and modernization have not bought inner peace and tranquility. Rather in spite of the comforts that modernization has brought us, we are further away from inner peace than our ancestors were. Inner peace is for the most part of our lives very elusive; we never seem to get our hands on it.

The nation of Liberia at 171 years old is the oldest republic of Africa, but despite its early founding, wealth of resources, diverse peoples, enviable location and international relationships, it remains one of the least developed countries, languishing at the bottom of the world's development ladder.Lamenting Liberia explores the path that this nation took from her founding in 1822, through social and cultural devastation, divisive and brutal wars, and her emergence into a period of hope and expectations.In his wail of grief over lost opportunities, prevailing echoes of corruption and divisiveness, and poverty that threatens the survival of the nation, Simeon M-B Moribah calls on all peoples to reflect on their responsibilities to the current plight of Liberia. Within his lament, there is a decisive call to Liberians and friends of Liberia to love and commit to this nation of limitless promise and possibilities. He offers solutions to currently contested issues, but above all offers hope for the future of Liberia, and a path to sustainable development through "love of country and people".

Luqman (also known as Luqman the Wise, Luqmaan, Lukman, and Luqman al-Hakeem. was a wise man for whom Surah Luqman, the thirty-first sura (chapter) of the Qur'an, was named. Luqman (c. 1100 BC) is believed to be from Africa and is of Ethiopian descent. There are many stories about Luqman in Persian, Arabic and Turkish literature and the primary historical sources are the Tafsir ibn Kathir and Stories of the Qur'an by Ibn Kathir. The Qur'an does not state whether or not Luqman was a prophet, but some people believe him to be a prophet and thus write Alayhis salaam (A.S.) with his name.Luqman was described as a perceptive man, always watching the animals and plants of his surroundings, and he tried to understand the world based on what he saw. One day, whilst sleeping under a tree, an angel came to him and said that Allah wanted to bestow a gift upon Luqman: either wisdom or being king. Luqman chose wisdom, and when he woke from his slumber, he was aware that his senses and understanding had sharpened. He felt in complete harmony with nature and could understand the inner meaning of things, beyond their physical reality. Immediately he bowed down, thanked and praised Allah for this wonderful gift.

Surah al-Araf (The Heights Border Between Hell & Paradise) is the seventh surah of the Qur''an, with 206 verses. It is a Meccan sura. Its final verse, verse 206, requires a sajdah, or prostration.Al-Araf is one of the most detailing Surah about the origins of creation and revealing prophecies about the judgment day, it starts by telling us how Satan made our ancestors Adam and Eve to leave heaven and all of the three came down to earth and from that point Satan became the number one enemy for humanity, and how he refused to obey God and asked him to keep him alive to show him the vulnerability of this new creature the Human being, the Surah then starts by telling us how Satan misled thousands of populations over time and gives us examples of some prophets who suffered in order to gain their lost companions to the right path, cited in this surah:Story of Nuh/Noah, which begins with the prophet warning his people and then the community rejecting the message and facing a punishment, the Grand Deluge.Story of Hud: Hud lived with his people Aad, Aad were not ignorant of the existence of Allah, nor did they refuse to worship Him. What they did refuse was to worship Allah alone. They worshipped other gods, also, including idols. This is one sin Allah does not forgive. The Prophet Hud said to his people: "He created you, He provides for you and He is the One Who will cause you to die. He gave you wonderful physiques and blessed you in many ways. So believe in Him and do not be blind to His favors, or the same fate that destroyed Noah''s people will overtake you."It also reveals that prophecies about the coming of Prophet Muhammad SAW were present in the Jewish law and Gospel.7:157.

Native Child Dinétah is reprinting and creating new editions of important historical writings to help preserve and continue Navajo culture, language, and history. We focus on generally difficult-to-access literature of enormous importance to the transmission of cultural knowledge from generation to generation. This is such a book. Ghostway is generally recognized as a distinct ritual in Navajo Ceremonialism with the specific purpose of combatting any ugly condition. Conditions created by the use of witchcraft means become ugly, not only temporarily so, but because they jeopardize the very life of the victim. Ghostway rituals, are chiefly concerned with removing these ugly conditions. After arriving in St. Michaels, Arizona in 1900, the author, Father Berard made studying the unwritten Navajo language his first priority. He contributed to Navajo linguistic studies immensely, which is all the more valuable for the fact that few others have had his opportunities to live so long with the Navaho and to learn their culture so well. He remained among the People for 54 years. Although linguistics seemed to be Fr. Berard's primary ethnographic passion, his expertise extended equally to Navajo ceremonialism. Ghostway was originally recorded in 1929 and published in 1950.In 1953 the Navajo Tribal Council passed a resolution which read in part:"Father Berard Haile has spent his life among the Navajo people learning to know and understand us and our religion, and has, more than any other living non-Indian, through close contact with Navajos and the medicine men of our tribe and by his indefatigable labor, reduced our language to written form and succeeded in preserving for future generations the knowledge of the Navajo history and religion."

Chernobyl, one of the few places on earth where suddenly time stopped. A place where human life vanished and where nothing, not even nature was supposed to still exist. Now, 30 years after the biggest nuclear disaster that ever happened, nature flourishes. Trees, animals, they recovered and slowly but surely take over what once was Soviet's modern model city of the East. Walking around here is like walking through a Hollywood film set. It's as if you walk through a thick forest with cardboard buildings and other film props hidden away behind the trees. One difference from a film set though. These buildings are real, people once lived here. Entering these buildings makes shivers go down your spine. These are the places where you see that time suddenly stopped. People were forced to leave and hardly got time to bring along their most prized possessions. Books, newspapers, photos and even children's most loved toys and dolls were left behind. It makes you wonder who these people were, who they are today, how did they pick up their new lives and did they survive? Chernobyl is a place that touches you. Sure, we all know more or less what happened in April of 1986, some of you might even remember where you were that day. What I (and many of you) didn't know was what happened there after the disaster. I've been fortunate to see some of what happened with my own eyes and I hope the pictures I took give you a little insight of what happened. This disaster and more importantly, the aftermath is something that should never be forgotten. Even today there are people suffering and children being born with genetic defects and cancers.

Será cuando Ryan tendrá que decidir si cerrar sus puertas o permitir que Matt acceda a su corazón, dejándose llevar ante cualquier acontecimiento que pueda ocurrir. La inocencia del amor adolescente y las ganas de enamorarse se verán en conflicto directo con amigos inoportunos y la homofobia de algunas personas de su entorno.SEGUNDA PARTE · NORWALKRyan vuelve a la ciudad y deberá enfrentarse a los fantasmas del pasado, a sus propios miedos y al momento que tanto temía antes de verano; pero esta vez no lo hará solo. Nuevos personajes y otros que ya conocíamos se suman a la historia para complicarla y retorcerla hasta límites insospechados, provocando que tanto él como su entorno tengan que adaptarse a las nuevas situaciones que se presentan en sus vidas.

Es la suma de varias historias que se funden en una sola; es el reflejo de lo que ocurre cuando los caprichos de la vida coinciden en darnos todo aquello que pedimos o en robarnos todo lo que dábamos por nuestro. Nada es por casualidad y sólo nosotros somos los dueños de nuestro destino.
