  • Our Precarious Earth and Its Biosphere
    I. The Environment 1 The Earth’s Biosphere: Our Life Support System Our common shared biosphere is our planet’s life support system, capturing light via photosynthesis, conserving energy and matter, and obeying the basic laws of physics and thermodynamics. These laws are fundamental, governing all occurrences in the universe. All biological systems must abide by them. We must function within their confines. In spite of the universality of these laws, problems arise because of humans and their activities. There are simply too many of us for our planet. We are consuming too many irreplaceable resources and causing long-lasting planetary damage. This last problem is tremendously enhanced by human greed and a disregard by many for the biosphere. When our numbers were much smaller, our impact could be absorbed. This is not so today. Because we operate within the confines of the universal laws, we cannot continue to squander resources as we have in the past. Consider the following question: How much damage is caused to the natural environment in order to make a profit from the sale of a consumable item? Consider that many of the consumables produced are dispensable and often of minimal value. Realize that valuable resources must be used for their production. Moreover, these products ultimately become waste that must be disposed of, often in a manner that harms the environment. Why allow the continuation of activities that damage our common life support system? We already know that much of this damage cannot be repaired without a human population decrease. Why allow an increase in our population, recognizing that the consequence will be immense human suffering? Why allow resource consumption, pollution and global warming when we know that their continuance will prevent us from solving global problems and meeting the immense challenges that lie before us? We behave as though we have no regard for future generations.

  • The Dakota Fairy Tales of L. Frank Baum
    Copyright © 2000 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. The Dakota Fairy Tales of La Frank Baum Mark I. West L, Frank Baum lived in Aberdeen, South Dakota, from Sep- tember 1888 until April 1891. During this period, he ran a store called Baum's Bazaar for a little over a year, and when that enterprise failed, he tried his hand at publishing a weekly newspaper named the Aberdeen Saturday Pioneer. Baum man- aged to keep the paper going until March 1891, but in the end, it, too, proved to be a financial failure. Feeling defeated, Baum left Aberdeen that April and moved to Chicago, where he even- tually achieved fame as a children's author. Even though Baum had little success as an Aberdeen businessman, the experiences he gained while living on the Dakota prairie provided him with material and insights that he would later draw upon in his sto- ries. The literary critics and biographers who have studied Baum are not in complete agreement as to how his Dakota years influenced his writings. Some critics argue that the opening scenes in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900), which Baum places in Kansas, are really set in South Dakota. Michael Patrick Hearn takes this position in The Annotated Wizard ofOz, stat- ing that these scenes "are largely Baum's recollections of the great gray prairie of the Dakota Territory (now South Dakota)."' The historian Nancy Tystad Koupal takes a somewhat different 1. Hearn, Introduction, Notes, and Bibliography to Tbe Annotated Wizard of Oz York: Clarkson N.

  • MEDITATION for BEGINNERS: a Comprehensive Guide
    MEDITATION FOR BEGINNERS: A Comprehensive Guide How to relax, renew, and discover your best life through meditation DHAVAL PATEL CREATOR OF ZENFUL SPIRIT MEDITATION FOR BEGINNERS: A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE INTRODUCTION: What is Meditation? 4 MEDITATION FOR BEGINNERS: A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE When you hear the word “meditation”, what do you think? Do you think of a bearded Tibetan monk sitting on a mountaintop? Or perhaps a serene yogi sitting in a candlelit room chanting “om”? Well, those are certainly ways that you could meditate, but there’s a whole lot more to it than that. Meditation can mean many different things to many different people. Perhaps an easier approach to start with is to clarify what meditation is not. It is not exclusive to one sector of society or a specific type of person or culture. Meditation is open- ended, free, available to anyone, and offers great benefits. Far from being meant to empty your mind, meditation is really meant to connect you to the infinite source, beyond the mind. It’s a beautiful practice that can enrich your life, bring you closer to others, and improve your health. Why not see what benefits this practice can offer you? This guide is intended to introduce meditation in a way that is accessible to everyone, so that you can explore this gratifying practice in a way that will nurture your life and connect you to others. 5 MEDITATION FOR BEGINNERS: A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PART 1: Meditation 101 6 MEDITATION FOR BEGINNERS: A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE Why Meditate? If you’re serious about personal development (and I’m assuming that is why you’re here!), sooner or later you’ve got to get serious about meditation.

    1 CHRIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, VALDOSTA GEORGIA JULY 8, 2018 Ezekiel 2:1-5 2 Corinthians 12:2-10 Psalm 123 Mark 6:1-13 In the name of God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. + Once upon a time, in a distant kingdom . I was born. Born into a city where the sun never goes down. Born into a city where people of all ages, colors, nationalities sit side by side on subways that racket from one end of town to the other. That’s New York, of course, a place where although you may not know your neighbor, everyone is your neighbor. When I think of going back home to visit, I picture both the crowded avenues and the streets that grow silent when the snow falls, trees glittering and sparkling in the light of the streetlamps. I remember, as a child, sitting on a park bench on Riverside Drive, delighting in the snow drift that covered my knees. At night, I would dream about being locked in and forgotten in the Museum of Natural History, so that I could pat the Tyrannosaurus Rex on the nose and walk up close, really close, to all those marvelous African masks. Things have changed, of course, and so have I. If you’ve been away from home for a lengthy time, you know exactly what I mean. Nothing looks quite the same when you go back; and even if it did, you’d react differently. So I both rejoice and sympathize with anyone who, after a long time, returns home. Like Jesus.
