Описание: One of the least-known stories of World War II, Operation Mars was an epic military disaster. Designed to dislodge the German Army from its position west of Moscow, Mars cost the Soviets an estimated 335,000 dead, missing, and wounded men and over 1,600 tanks. But in Russian history books, it was a battle that never happened-a historical debacle sacrificed to Stalin`s postwar censorship.

Psychologists generally define forgiveness as a conscious, deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment or vengeance toward a person or group who has harmed you, regardless of whether they deserve your forgiveness.
Forgiveness brings the forgiver peace of mind and frees him or her from corrosive anger. While there is some debate over whether true forgiveness requires positive feelings toward the offender, experts agree that it at least involves letting go of deeply held negative feelings. In that way, it empowers you to recognize the pain you suffered without letting that pain define you, enabling you to heal and move on with your life.
The forgiveness can be seen to involve a process of transformation of understanding that is akin to the spirituality of death and resurrection. On this account, forgiveness is paradoxical and resistant to thought not because it involves a simple suspension of, or opposition to reasoned forms of judgment, but because it involves a way of holding together attitudes, concerns, and insights that do not easily cohere. In this sense forgiveness is an expression of a love that both hopes all things and bears all things; a way of accepting the worst whilst desiring the best.
School shootings have significantly impacted many aspects of our lives across the United States. They first became a recognized problem in American society in the 1960s and have since continued to increase in frequency and severity. Casualty numbers from school shootings have steadily increased since 1990, and even though such shootings are rarer than homicide, mass murder, and off-campus violence, they have a great impact on a community. Normally, techniques and tactics used by school administrations and law enforcement change over time to adapt to growing threats. Cases such as the University of Texas shooting in 1966 and Columbine High School in 1999, for example, led to changes in law enforcement tactics. While UT Austin and Columbine are landmark examples, from 2000 to 2015, there have been 45 school shootings. Attacks in Sandy Hook Elementary School and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School have focused demands for change, and school and law enforcement procedures have not yet adapted to the rising threat. This book examines how educators, first responders, and law enforcement should respond to school shooters today using threat-assessment processes and facility security upgrades.
Coffee is made from the roasted and ground seeds, or beans, of the coffee plant, a tropical evergreen shrub. Coffee is one of the three most-popular beverages in the world (alongside water and tea) and one of the most-profitable international commodities.
Though coffee is the basis for an endless array of beverages, its popularity is mainly attributed to its invigorating effect, which is produced by caffeine, an alkaloid present in coffee.
Coffee contains large amounts of caffeine, whose effects have always been an important element in the drink's popularity. Coffee is consumed by about one-third of the world's population.
The chemical reactions in the brain caused by caffeine are extreme. When people begin to feel tired or sleepy, it is because of adenosine molecules floating around in the brain.
This book will help readers learn the history and see how the many different historical and cultural influences affected coffee advertisements differently throughout the centuries.
Menopause is a natural part of aging that usually occurs between 45 and 55 years of age, as a woman's estrogen levels decline.
Menopause is an empowering spiritual and physiological change.
In a wide diversity of ancient cultures from North American to Middle Eastern, African to Aborigine, and European to Icelanders, postmenopausal women are valued for their intuitive wisdom.
Menopause is a natural biological process. Unfortunately, for many women, some uncomfortable and unpleasant symptoms accompany this transition, such as hot flashes, and emotional symptoms of menopause may disrupt your sleep, lower your energy or affect emotional health.
Physicians routinely prescribe hormone replacement therapy for women experiencing premenopausal and menopausal symptoms. The risks and side effects of these hormone replacement drugs can be serious and even deadly.
Fortunately, there are safe alternative methods of effectively treating menopausal symptoms. One of these methods is aromatherapy.
Different colors can create a different mood for artwork. Mood means the feeling we get when we look at a work of art. We can create the mood by selecting warm or cool colors that remind us of emotions that we want in our artwork.
Color can tell you a lot about a work of art. Bright colors can make you feel happy while darker colors can make you feel glum. There are also specific colors that remind us of different emotions.
Warm colors like yellow, orange, red, and pink, can make a picture look brighter. Yellow is a more joyful color while red is a color that reminds us of the emotion anger. However, the way a work of art feels depends on how you use those colors.
The understanding of life is at the basis and the beginning of all. The understanding of life is God. And by the announcement of Jesus it has become the basis and beginning of all things.
All things have come to life by understanding, and without it nothing can live. Understanding gives true life. Understanding is the light of truth, and the light shines in the darkness and the darkness cannot extinguish it.
The true light has always existed in the world and enlightens every man who is born in the world. It was in the world, and the world only lived because it had that light of understanding.
But the world did not retain it. He came unto his own, and his own retained him not only those who understood the enlightenment were able to become like him because they believed in his reality. Those who believed that life lies in the understanding became no longer sons of the flesh, but sons of understanding.
The teaching of Jesus is the full and true faith, for by fulfilling the teaching of Jesus we understand a new faith instead of the former. Moses gave us a law, but we received the true faith through Jesus Christ.
No one has seen God or will ever see God, only his son, who is in the Father, has shown us the path of life.

In fulfilling their traditional roles as leaders in their communities, American Indian women are oftenat the core of American Indianresistance and struggle for liberation. Native women have a long history of assuming leadership positions within their particular tribes. Theirstruggles share many of the characteristics of women's struggles associated with feminism in the larger society, yetmany Native American women explicitly reject the label of feminism.
This book takes into account the historical oppression of Native peoples, as well as the relative exclusion of Native women in the existing feminist research.
What became apparent despite their more central position in their societies, traditional Native women tend not to view themselves as feminists.
An important theme running through the book was although Native women, in general, do not have equality of opportunity within larger American society in terms of economic resources, employment, education, health care, etc, and in many cases are solely responsible for the survival of their families. Native women do not view their struggles for more power within their communities and the larger society as being incompatible with the primacy of home and family.
In cities all around the world, forgotten rooftops can change the way we conserve energy. These vast and underutilized spaces have the power to reduce energy consumption and produce food. They also have the power to provide homes for vulnerable wildlife.
All that's required is a simple rooftop garden. By creating more green spaces in the sky, we can transform our cities with eco-friendly measures. That will benefit everyone.
Rooftop gardens offer a solution to our urban crisis. They are an easy, cost-effective way to reduce a building's energy consumption while promoting a variety of other benefits.
Rooftop gardens are incredibly effective insulation systems and can help to lower the cost of cooling a building. While soil naturally functions as an insulator, the plants on top can also drop the temperature through photosynthesis and transpiration.
Covering urban rooftops with greenspaces would be a great solution for the heat island effect. Not only would these rooftop gardens lower the temperature, but they also work in removing harmful pollutants from the air through natural filtration systems. Urban jungles can make our work and living spaces healthier for our bodies and the environment.
The amount of money saved is largely down to climate and, of course, electricity consumption. In more temperate climates, the savings will not be as much as those living in more extreme temperatures as heaters and air conditioners are rarely used. However, regardless of the weather, rooftop gardens can help to reduce energy expenditures overall.
Rooftop gardening is not only the source of fresh fruits and vegetables but also provides in-depth ecosystem services and promotes the sustainability of urban areas. They have significant importance and share on monetary benefits acquired from soft benefits such as food production, stormwater retention, air quality, and carbon sequestration benefits.

Anorexia nervosa, anorexia for short, is an eating disorder that can have fatal consequences. People suffering from anorexia consume very restrictive quantities of food, which leads to starvation.
A person with anorexia becomes obsessed with food and weight. She or he may develop peculiar eating rituals, such as refusing to eat in front of other people or arranging food on the plate in a certain order. Many people with anorexia seem to care a lot about food. They may collect cookbooks and prepare sumptuous meals for their friends and families -- but they don't join in.
There are psychological, environmental, and social factors that may contribute to the development of anorexia. People with anorexia come to believe that their lives would be better if only they were thinner. These people tend to be perfectionists and overachievers.
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a condition that affects a woman's emotions, physical health, and behavior during certain days of the menstrual cycle, generally just before her menses.
PMS is a very common condition. Its symptoms affect more than 90 percent of menstruating women. It must impair some aspects of your life for your doctor to diagnose you.
PMS symptoms start five to 11 days before menstruation and typically go away once menstruation begins. The cause of PMS is unknown.
However, many researchers believe that it's related to a change in both sex hormone and serotonin levels at the beginning of the menstrual cycle.
Levels of estrogen and progesterone increase during certain times of the month. An increase in these hormones can cause mood swings, anxiety, and irritability. Ovarian steroids also modulate activity in parts of your brain associated with premenstrual symptoms.
This is a book about medicine and the history of a condition called premenstrual syndrome (PMS), its "discovery" and conceptual development at both scientific and socio-cultural levels. Since it was first mentioned in medical literature, PMS has been explored empirically as a medical condition and conceptually as a non-somatic cultural phenomenon. Many attempts have been made to produce scientific, empirical evidence to bolster the theory of PMS as a biological disease. Some non-medical perspectives argue that invoking biology as the cause of PMS medicalizes a natural function of the female reproductive system and shallowly interrogates what is a complex bio-psycho-social phenomenon. This thesis questions both sides of this debate to reveal how criteria for PMS were categorized despite disagreement surrounding its etiology.
This thesis illustrates how the concept of PMS developed and was informed by the discovery of hormones and the resulting field of endocrinology that provided a framework for conceptualizing PMS. It displays how the development of the medical diagnostic category of PMS developed in tandem with the emergence of the field of endocrinology and was legitimized and effectively medicalized through this connection.
The diagnosis of PMS became established through diagnostic techniques like questionnaires despite persistent disagreement over its definition. The thesis shows how these medical concepts and practices legitimated the category of PMS, and how it has become ubiquitous in contemporary culture.
