The war in Iraq may be over, but it continues in Afghanistan and for those families whose loved ones are still gone, life during deployment is challenging, especially in Alaska, an assignment the military considers as demanding as an overseas post. For the men and women whose spouses serve in the U.S. Army, deployment is not just an abstract word heard on the evening news. It's real, it’s tough and it turns their world upside down. Military wives find themselves in a unique sisterhood. The tightest of bonds are formed over fears of deployment, realities of Army life and the emotional roller coaster of homecomings – all set against the backdrop of the rugged, demanding and extreme conditions of Alaska. (P) Sunday, November 18 (10-11 p.m. ET/PT) Episode: The Hooters Comment Was Offensive While the Brigade Commander’s wife Yolanda tries to promote sisterhood among the battalion wives, Traci and Lindsey battle over Army wife etiquette, and Sara’s housewarming takes a troubling turn after the women hear news of a communications blackout down range.

  • Oprah Winfrey: De New Age Hogepriesteres
    Oprah Winfrey: de New Age Hogepriesteres W.O.L, Update 11-5-2010 (1ste pub. juli 2008) Het volgende komt uit het nieuwe 500 pagina’s tellende boek The New Age Tower of Babel, ver- krijgbaar bij Way of Life Literature. (Ook verkrijgbaar in een 9delige DVD reeks) Alle Schriftaanhalingen komen uit de Statenvertaling (1977 of HSV) Vertaling en voetnoten door M.V. Weinig dingen illustreren de dramatische toename van de New Age invloed zo sterk als Oprah Winfrey. De bijzonder succesvolle televisie talkshow host, actrice, producer, activiste en zakenvrouw, Oprah Winfrey (geb. in 1954) wordt genoemd: “a really hip and materialistic Mother Teresa”, “a symbolic figurehead of spirituality”, “a moral monitor”, “America’s pastor”, “today’s Billy Graham” (USA Today, May 10, 2006). Haar televisieshow is de hoogst genoteerde en langstlopende televisietalkshow in de Verenigde Sta- ten. Hij loopt sinds 8 september 1986, met meer dan 3.000 episodes (“The Oprah Winfrey Show”, Wikipedia). Haar show heeft 49 miljoen kijkers in 122 landen en praktisch elk boek dat zij aanbe- veelt bereikt de toprang van de verkoopscijfers. Haar O magazine bereikt 3 miljoen lezers. Ze ont- vangt 10.000 brieven en 4.000 emails per week. Haar website wordt 1,3 miljoen keer per dag be- zocht. Een Gallop poll onderzoek stelt haar op nr. 4 van de allerbelangrijkste vrouwen in de ge- schiedenis. Winfrey is een van de meest invloedrijke promotoren van New Age thema’s in de wereld van van- daag, en wat we goed moeten noteren is dat zij tegelijk haar christelijke erfgoed niet geheel ver- werpt.

  • Western Indologists: a Study in Motives
    Agniveer http://agniveer.com DISTORTION OF BHARTIYA HISTORY: SOME CAUSES WESTERN INDOLOGISTS: A STUDY IN MOTIVES BY PT. BHAGVAD DATT RESEARCH SCHOLAR (EDITED BY DR. VIVEK ARYA) Agniveer http://agniveer.com Preface by Pt.Bhagavad Data research scholar The present monograph is an amplified English version of the first argument of chapter III of my Bharatavarsha ka Brihad Itihasa Vol I (published in 1951). I have under taken this task in response to persistent requests from friends and scholars who read that volume in advance proofs and also in its published form. Being hard pressed for time, I requested my friend Prof. Sadhu Ram, M.A., to prepare the English version for me. He was kind enough to comply with my request, and placed the manuscript at my disposal by the end of 1950. Further material was added to it, and the monograph assumed the present shape. There is a widespread belief among Indian scholars and the educated public that western Orientalists and indologists have been invariably actuated by purely academic interests, pursued in an objective, scientific and critical spirit. While some of them have undoubtedly approached their task in an unimpeachable manner, it is not so well-known that a vast majority of them, who have exercised tremendous influence in the world of scholarship, have been motivated by extraneous considerations, both religious and political. It is the object of this study to throw some light on this important aspect of western scholarship. I have been reluctantly driven to the painful conclusion that the bulk of what today passes as ‘scientific’, ‘objective’ and ‘critical’ research, is, in fact, vitiated by the underlying and subtle influence exercised by none too academic motives.

  • From the Caves and Jungles of Hindustan
    FROM THE CAVES AND JUNGLES OF HINDOSTAN. TRANSLATED FROM··THE RUSSIAN OF HELENA PETROVNA BLAVATSKY. THE THEOSOPHICAL PUBLISHING SOCIETY, 161, NEW BOND STREET, LONDON, W. [REPRINTED 1908.] Th.1a One 1111 II BUru- ,,..-, TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE. "You must remember," said Mme. Blavatsky, ccthat I never meant this for a scientific work. My letters to the Russian Alessmgcr, under the general title: 'From the Caves and Jungles of Hindostan,' were written in leisure moments, more for amusement than with any serious design. .. Broadly speaking, the facts and incidents are true; but I have freely availed myself of an author's privi­ lege to group, colour, and dramatize them, whenever this seemed necessary to the full artistic effect; though, as I say, much of the book is exactly true, I would rather claim kindly judgment for it, as a romance of travel, than incur the critical risks that llaunt an avowedly serious \Vork." To this caution of the author's, the translator must add another; these letters, as Mme. Blavatsky saYs, were written in leisure moments, during 1879 and 188o, for the pages of the Russkt" Vyestnik, then edited by l\1. Katkoff. Mme. Blavatsky's manuscript was often incorrect; often obscure. The Russian com­ positors, though they did their best to render faith­ fully the Indian names and places, often producecj, through their ignorance of Oriental tongues, fornis which are st:range. and sometimes unrecognizable. iv TRANSI.ATO:R'S PMPACB. The proof-sheets were never corrected by the author, who was then in India; and, in consequence, it has been impossible to restore all the local and personal names to their proper form.

  • Imagining Macrohistory? Madame Blavatsky from Isis Unveiled (1877) to the Secret Doctrine (1888) Garry W
    Imagining Macrohistory? Madame Blavatsky from Isis Unveiled (1877) to The Secret Doctrine (1888) Garry W. Trompf In Memoriam: Alfred John Cooper1 Introduction The term „macrohistory‟ denotes the envisaging and representation of the human past as a vast panorama, great movements of human activity held „in the mind‟s eye‟ or in a unitary vision. When such broad encompassments also incorporate the pre-human past and even the possible future of everything, then one may refer to cosmological macrohistory (or „cosmo-history‟), or, if the atmosphere of a mythos is strong, to a mythological macrohistory. Many will suspect that mental acts of encapsulation entailed in „doing macrohistory‟ are inevitably unreliable and methodologically inadmissible because the myriad facts to be embraced, both known and unknown, could never be accounted for in any one synoptic view. Certainly the macrohistorical visionary will have to resort to a picturing or imaging through some kind of model, paradigm or diagrammatic procedure, and in almost all cases, a species of meta-history (of a conceptual „framing‟ superimposed on data) will result. In the Judaeo- Christian-Islamic-Marxist trajectory of thought, four primary „idea-frames‟ of macrohistory have stood out. These are, first, progress, or the idea that past events show an overall improvement of things; second and contrarily, regress, the outlook that affairs have steadily worsened; third, recurrence, the apprehension that everything is basically repetitive (if not cyclical); and lastly, the view that nothing can be fully understood without a sense of an utterly final consummation, an eschaton (end) or apokatastasis (restoration of all things) or millennial „showdown‟, as against some limited telos.

Most modern books dealing with the problem of Atlantis are built upon Plato’s description. The integrity and learning of this great philosopher can not easily be assailed. Had it not been for the weight of Plato’s author- ity, the whole subject would have been discredited by modern archeologists. There is, however, in fairness to both sides of the controversy, a certain weakness in Plato’s story. The thoughtful reader is impressed immediately by the allegorical and symbolical parts of the account.

  • Oprah Winfrey and Her Self-Help Saviors: Making the New Age Normal by Kate Maver
    STATEMENT DN403 Oprah Winfrey and Her Self-Help Saviors: Making the New Age Normal by Kate Maver This article first appeared in the Volume 23 / Number 4 / 2001 issue of the Christian Research Journal. For further information or to subscribe to the Christian Research Journal go to: http://www.equip.org The weather was frigid in Chicago in January 1998, and the heat was out in the Robert Taylor Homes. Pipes froze and burst. Water gushed into the apartments of impoverished residents and froze on the floors. Destitute mothers and their children huddled close to the open doors of their ovens, trying to warm themselves. During this crisis, a youth worker from this infamous public housing development was in a nearby WalMart buying blankets for residents when he noticed Oprah Winfrey and her crew filming a segment for her TV show. He informed one of Winfrey’s employees about the conditions at Robert Taylor. Word about the horrible plight spread among the crew, and soon Winfrey herself made a deal with WalMart to buy 500 space heaters for the residents at the Robert Taylor Homes.1 Avoiding grandstanding or an ostentatious show of wealth, Winfrey simply did what any good person with the means should do. She saw a need and met it. When asked about her involvement, she put the focus on the problem rather than on herself. It’s easy to respect a woman like that. Given her focus on personal integrity, it is challenging for the thoughtful Christian to critique the numerous errors of Winfrey’s New Age gurus without being disrespectful or unappreciative of Winfrey’s good intentions.

  • Npd QUOTES Copy
    The New Paradigm Book of Quotes Like koans, quotes can provide wisdom in short bites. In selecting new paradigm quotes for this section, I have included those that touched me deeply, that provide a collective map of values and visions that can serve as guideposts in our daily life choices and larger life journey's. From this point forward, we must make far wiser choices in order to overcome the momentum of the past errors that have produced the many threats and challenges to humanity's well being and the survival of life on Earth. There are visionary voices here from the past, present and "future-present". I hope you may find them inspiring and empowering catalysts in your personal, community and business life. I imagine it might be possible for someone diving deeply into these quotes and allowing them to penetrate their mind, heart and soul to actually change the course of their life. One never knows what's around the next bend in life particularly if you have prepared the soil of your mind and heart to receive its wisdom. May these quotes lead you in the direction of your highest aspirations and possibilities and may you leave behind all else. The saving of our world from pending doom will come, not through the complacent adjustment of the conforming majority, but through the creative maladjustment of a nonconforming minority. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr. “BE POSSIBLE,” Change will say when it finds you, “Your permission to yourself is all I require of you.” ~ Tommy Bahler We've all been given the gift of life.

  • FRENCH SCHOLARS and the PREOCCUPATION with INDIA DURING the NINETEENTH CENTURY Jyoti
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: CLAIMING INDIA: FRENCH SCHOLARS AND THE PREOCCUPATION WITH INDIA DURING THE NINETEENTH CENTURY Jyoti Mohan, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Directed By: Professor Jeffrey Herf, Department of History My dissertation examines the image of India which was created by the French academics of the nineteenth century. This image of India was distinct from the British image of India partly due to the different intellectual and political traditions in France, as well as Anglo-French national rivalry and the position of France in India as a subordinate or ‗subaltern‘ colonizer. For instance, the French image of India was marked by its reliance on the spiritual and religious aspects of India, and its antiquity and ‗Aryan‘ heritage, while the British described India primarily as a land of Oriental despotism and oppressed masses alleviated only by British colonial rule. I have examined the specifically French creation of India by French writers from the early modern to the early twentieth century to demonstrate the history of French interest in India. I have also looked at the interest of scholars in different nineteenth century disciplines like philology, anthropology, history, and religion in creating a specifically ‗French‘ image of India in terms of race, caste and Hinduism. CLAIMING INDIA: FRENCH SCHOLARS AND THE PREOCCUPATION WITH INDIA DURING THE NINETEENTH CENTURY by Jyoti Mohan Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2010 Advisory Committee: Professor Jeffrey Herf, Chair Professor Richard Price Associate Professor Paul S.
