Twister Tales: Unraveling Tornado Myths


Twister Tales: Unraveling Tornado Myths

Twister Tales is an information packed book in an easy to read and understand format. As a former Geography teacher I was surprised how much I still had to learn about one of natures most feared and interesting challenges. Twister Tales takes you through all tornado myths dissecting both the truths and fictional parts of each. It also is a great review of the history of both the largest storms and most prolific series of storms to hit the the US. I was surprised that the US not only has more tornadoes than other countries but we have a huge percentage of tornados compared to the rest of the world. The book emphasizes the necessity of the human component still needed in forecasting. It will make a great resource for science classrooms, homeschool area of study, and of course for all the future storm chasers out there. ~ Review by Dana Blackwell

LaNore says he wrote the “Twister Tales” book to reach a more mature audience (middle school to adult). He finds meteorological myths frustrating and weather history intriguing, so the mission was to “write about both in the book." ~ stevelanore.com

Holy numbers and Sacred Geometry come from…

The Culture of Astronomy

The Culture of Astronomy- Origin of Number, Geometry, Science, Law, and Religion

Astronomy is the mother of all the sciences. Holy numbers and sacred geometry have come from astronomy which is the key to all Biblical, Maya and other "end date" cycles and numbers. Everyone should know where the numbers 666 and 144 and 13 come from. ~ from the back cover

(Video excerpt 10:55 to 12:05) “…and it’s a wonderful tool for Government too because they can access property taxes on what you own, and its probably one of the few just taxes in the world. Because the State is maintaining the rights of your property…(skipping to)-…the churches as well, and the Synagogue. They get money for that too because they assess you, they say, ‘Hey! Here’s our tithe. You live there, give us some money and it will keep our religion going.’ [Laughter in audience]

Well you laugh at it but that is actually what happened. That is the glue that made our civilization work and what makes this new civilization work. So what has Astronomy done? It has defined time and now its defined space…It in a way has given you an approximation of God because you have a place now where you can worship the Deity.

From the AuthorThomas Karl Dietrich

The Culture of Astronomy begins with the destruction and degeneration of astronomical knowledge through kings, invaders, and natural disasters. Yet, there exist ample resources to fully reconstruct this ancient science.

The cosmic worldview of "thinking in cycles" is a powerful philosophy which humankind will never abandon. In cultures throughout the world there are snakes, dragons, turtles, and goddesses of the Milky Way as common symbols of the sky culture.

Sacred places begin as calendar sites created through geometry and observation of numbers generated by cycles in the heavens. Humans recognize their place within the cosmic realm of physics and laws which become the logical substructure of our morals and religion.

Though "man is the measure of all things" we are also subject to the natural laws that govern creation, society, and government.~ www.cosmomyth.com

Driven by fact and fueled by mere fascination, THE CULTURE OF ASTRONOMY shares the links between heaven and earth like nothing I have ever read before. ~ Review by Cyrus Webb TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE VOICE

Life in Half a Second

Life In Half A Second

Absolute MUST read! Go no further EVERYTHING you need to know about achieving lasting success is in this book!~ Review by Dr. David Duggan "Absolute MUST read! It's in my "All Time Favourites" books to read. At last a book based on real facts, evidence and research on achieving success. Matt has saved me so much time and effort by revealing the simple and easy 5 steps to achieving lasting success. Looking back I now know that whenever I had achieved success in the past, I had followed the 5 steps... but didn't realise I'd done so. Its now clear and easy to follow these steps and to achieve lasting success. I loved it so much I bought 50 copies to give to family and friends. A super high recommendation. Just buy it."
 

Today, I posted this video for people to see and share. I also said, "I love this! Going to be blogging about my experience with this book later today. He wrote something on page 8 that really lifted me up. I could feel myself being pulled up and forward. Sounds strange but I don't know how else to describe what happened."  Thank you Matthew Michalewicz ! Okay, I won't make you wait any longer. Excerpt from page 8 in the paperback. (Kindle Locations 143-149) ~

*****

Each morning I tell my wife and kids how much I love them, as if I’ll never see them again – each year I’m living like it’s my last, bucket list and all.

Do you have a bucket list? No? Then make one and do it now, while you still can, while there’s still life and strength in your veins. If you only had one year to live, you’d do it now. Nothing would stop you. No amount of commitments, obligations, or responsibilities. But because you measure time in “years lived” rather than “days left,” the future seems unlimited, so you defer and wait. You do everything you “have to” and very little of what you “want to.” But what are you waiting for? When you’re old and frail? When your desire has evaporated? When your loved ones are gone?

"The smallest of human beings can achieve the greatest of deeds – Life in Half a Second provides interesting ideas on how it’s done."

The Thin Woman's Brain is Different!

The Thin Woman's Brain

The Thin Woman's Brain: Re-Wiring The Brain For Permanent Weight Loss is available on Amazon - Here are two links: USA  & Canada
It is my belief that humanity will evolve because of female consciousness. Too much of our potential is squandered when so many women feel ashamed of their bodies. If just 2% of this wasted energy could be re-channeled toward positive activities, our entire race would be richly blessed.
Do you want to get to the root causes as to why this nation continues to gain weight? It is time to address this epidemic in a different way. Dilia Suriel, in her own words, "I do want to share that I’m a world-class analyst. I just happened to wake up one day knowing that I needed to use my analytical talents to end the dieting hell that I’d lived for too many years.” (Kindle Locations 355-357).

Rachel on Amazon commented: "As someone who has read every ebook around on dieting and weight loss, believe me when I say this is the best one of the bunch! As women, we know what the problem is. We know when we've overeaten or made bad choices. But then we do it again. And again. And we keep doing it. This book will tell you why. It will give you the science behind it, the reasons you know what you're doing is wrong and just can't seem to stop.

And then the book tells you how to fix it. It goes through the steps with you on rewiring your brain and your habits to change them into something healthier. You get the tools you need in this book to be successful. This book is obviously researched and has the science to back up what it is telling you. But it is presented in a way that is easy to understand and as you're reading this book, you too will find yourself saying "That's me! I do that!"

This book is for every woman, or man, that has ever struggled with food, eating, habits and behaviors. Read it once, twice, however many times you need to until it sticks, because this book is worth it."

As you know, ( if you follow my blog) when a "self-help" book comes across my desk, I love to share the chapter titles. Here they are:
  • Chapter 1 – Restore the Brain, Lose the Weight
  • Chapter 2 – The Thin Woman’s Brain
  • Chapter 3 – The Food Addict’s Brain
  • Chapter 4 – Restoring the Brain to Natural Thinness
  • Chapter 5 – Tools to Become Mindful
  • Chapter 6 – Pattern Interruption
  • Chapter 7 – What is Asking for Attention?
  • Chapter 8 – Restoring Food as Nourishment
  • Chapter 9 – Failure to Plan is Planning to Fail
  • Chapter 10 – Implementing the Naturally Thin Woman Program
  • Appendix A – The Truth Will … Make You Hungry
  • Appendix B – Special Cases
Brain on Scale

Suriel has done her homework and has an excellent website which features additional information. Click on the brain photo to be taken to the page titled: 'the food addicts brain'

In my opinion, Dilia Suriel has it right. We do have to rewire the brain. Our brain is our operational system after all. I've watched documentaries about how the brains of people are triggered if they are alcoholics. It would be the same for food addicts as well. In my opinion.

“The brain is the central switchboard that transmits messages to the nervous system.   Every thought and feeling can be correlated to brain activity.” (Kindle Locations 508-509).

What other people are saying! Review on Amazon by Sanya;

"For anyone struggling with weight this eBook will be transformational. The detailed program is clear and easy to follow. I am drawn to well-written books and this one delivers as it is helpful, well-researched and shares complex concepts in a conversational, friendly style. Unlike most weight loss books this one focused on what role the brain plays in our overeating behaviors. I now understand that because all of our behaviors have a genesis with the chemical in the brain until I can restore mine to its pre-food-obsessed health I am not likely to be successful in my long term weight goals."
