100,000 First Bosses: My Unlikely Path as a 22-Year-Old Lawmaker
by Will HaskellThe underdog story of Will Haskell, who became a Democratic state Senator in 2018 at age twenty-two—taking on an incumbent who had been undefeated for Haskell&’s entire life and earning an endorsement from President Obama—and is determined to pave the way for his peers to transform government from the bottom up.President Obama left office with these parting words for Americans: &“If you&’re disappointed by your elected officials, grab a clipboard, get some signatures, and run for office yourself.&” Twenty-two-year-old Will Haskell decided to do just that. If he ran for office and won, he would become the youngest state Senator in Connecticut history. For years, Haskell&’s hometown had reelected the same politician who opposed passing paid family leave, fought increases in the minimum wage, and voted down expansions of voting rights. Haskell&’s own vision for Connecticut&’s future couldn&’t be more different, and he couldn&’t stand the idea of an uncontested election. In 2018, he would be a college grad looking for his first job. Why not state Senator? When Haskell kicks off his campaign in the spring of his senior year, he&’s an unknown college kid facing a popular incumbent who&’s been in office for over two decades—as long as Haskell&’s been alive. Haskell&’s campaign manager is his roommate and his treasurer is his girlfriend&’s mom. He doesn&’t have any professional experience. But he does have a powerful message: there&’s no minimum age to being on the right side of history. Six months later, Haskell&’s shocking upset victory gives him a historic seat in the state Senate and the responsibility to serve the 100,000 constituents in his district. Like any first job, his first term as a legislator is filled with trial and error. Creating a program that funds free tuition at Connecticut&’s community colleges—nice work. Falling asleep on the senate floor—needs improvement. In the tradition of Pete Buttigieg&’s Shortest Way Home and Greta Thunberg&’s No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference, 100,000 First Bosses is the story of how one twentysomething candidate waged the campaign of his young life, fought for change at the state capitol, and proved that his generation is ready to claim a seat at the table.
10 Women Who Changed Science and the World (Trailblazers, Pioneers, and Revolutionaries)
by Rhodri Evans Catherine WhitlockSpanning the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this fascinating history explores the lives and achievements of great women in science across the globe. Ten Women Who Changed Science and the World tells the stories of trailblazing women who made a historic impact on physics, biology, chemistry, astronomy, and medicine. Included in this volume are famous figures, such as two-time Nobel Prize winner Marie Curie, as well as individuals whose names will be new to many, though their breakthroughs were no less remarkable. These women overcame significant obstacles, discrimination, and personal tragedies in their pursuit of scientific advancement. They persevered in their research, whether creating life-saving drugs or expanding our knowledge of the cosmos. By daring to ask ‘How?’ and ‘Why?’, each of these women made a positive impact on the world we live in today. In this book, you will learn about: AstronomyHenrietta Leavitt (United States, 1868–1921) discovered the period-luminosity relationship for Cepheid variable stars, which enabled us to measure the size of our galaxy and the universe. PhysicsLise Meitner (Austria, 1878–1968) fled Nazi Germany in 1938, taking with her the experimental results which showed that she and Otto Hahn had split the nucleus and discovered nuclear fission. Chien-Shiung Wu (United States, 1912–1997) demonstrated that the widely accepted ‘law of parity’, which stated that left-spinning and right-spinning subatomic particles would behave identically, was wrong. ChemistryMarie Curie (France, 1867–1934) became the only person in history to have won Nobel prizes in two different fields of science. Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin (United Kingdom, 1910–1994) won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1964 and pioneered the X-ray study of large molecules of biochemical importance. MedicineVirginia Apgar (United States, 1909–1974) invented the Apgar score, used to quickly assess the health of newborn babies. Gertrude Elion (United States, 1918–1999) won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1988 for her advances in drug development. BiologyRita Levi-Montalcini (Italy, 1909–2012) won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1986 for her co-discovery in 1954 of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF). Elsie Widdowson (United Kingdom, 1906–2000) pioneered the science of nutrition and helped devise the World War II food-rationing program. Rachel Carson (United States, 1907–1964) forged the environmental movement, most famously with her influential book Silent Spring.

10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works--A True Story
by Dan HarrisWinner of the 2014 Living Now Book Award for Inspirational MemoirNightline anchor Dan Harris embarks on an unexpected, hilarious, and deeply skeptical odyssey through the strange worlds of spirituality and self-help, and discovers a way to get happier that is truly achievable.After having a nationally televised panic attack on Good Morning America, Dan Harris knew he had to make some changes. A lifelong nonbeliever, he found himself on a bizarre adventure, involving a disgraced pastor, a mysterious self-help guru, and a gaggle of brain scientists. Eventually, Harris realized that the source of his problems was the very thing he always thought was his greatest asset: the incessant, insatiable voice in his head, which had both propelled him through the ranks of a hyper-competitive business and also led him to make the profoundly stupid decisions that provoked his on-air freak-out.We all have a voice in our head. It's what has us losing our temper unnecessarily, checking our email compulsively, eating when we're not hungry, and fixating on the past and the future at the expense of the present. Most of us would assume we're stuck with this voice - that there's nothing we can do to rein it in - but Harris stumbled upon an effective way to do just that. It's a far cry from the miracle cures peddled by the self-help swamis he met; instead, it's something he always assumed to be either impossible or useless: meditation. After learning about research that suggests meditation can do everything from lower your blood pressure to essentially rewire your brain, Harris took a deep dive into the underreported world of CEOs, scientists, and even marines who are now using it for increased calm, focus, and happiness.10% Happier takes readers on a ride from the outer reaches of neuroscience to the inner sanctum of network news to the bizarre fringes of America's spiritual scene, and leaves them with a takeaway that could actually change their lives.

The 10 Cent Chocolate Tub
by Mike Mcgann10 Cent Chocolate Tub will take you back to the 1950's and 1960s when life was uncomplicated. There were three channels to watch on a black and white television set showing Sid Caesar, Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, Howdy Doody, Milton Berle, fifteen minutes of Nat King Cole, The Lone Ranger and The Toast of The Town. Radio stations were AM only and played Elvis Presley, Doo-Wop music, Frank Sinatra, Doris Day, Patti Page, Chubby Checker and The Four Seasons, long before The Beatles came to America. The small things in life were exciting to a city boy who grew up to be a broadcaster, a Vietnam veteran, a minor performer and a dad! Everyone has family stories, crazy relatives, funny incidents, memories of how good things were back then and dreams of how they should be. The 10 Cent Chocolate Tub gets it's name from a huge chocolate ice cream cone sold by Bard's Dairy in the 1950s in Pittsburgh at a time when a young boy, who wore rummage sale clothes and ate surplus cheese, was only allowed a nickel vanilla ice cream now and then. This is about the quest for life's finer things like ice cream anytime you want it, playing the radio loudly, crying at a sad movie, falling in love, heartbreaks, kissing your children goodnight and loving every minute of it.

سيرة الأميرة ذات الهمة وولدها عبدالوهاب - جزء1
by ليس موجودقال الراوي: ومن جملة من خرج إليه عمرو بن عبد الله وهو يقول ادع لنا يا أخينا في الله، وأما أبا محمد البطال لما رأى الناس يهرعون سأل عن ذلك، فقال له بعض الإخوان فاز بالسعادة من فاز هذا القاضي قد قدم من أرض الحجاز فسار أبي محمد البطال من جملة الناس إلى أن وصل إليه، فرآهم يقبلون قدميه والشاطر من يصل إليه، وهو يبكي فما زال البطال يضحك إلى أن قرب منه، ووقعت عينه عليه فقال عقبة يا ولد يا بطال العاقبة إليك نزور البيت العتيق، وتزول عنك الذنوب، ويصل إليك التوفيق وتعاين ذاك المكان تحقيق، فقال البطال والله يا قاضي ما أنا إلا زرت البيت الذي كنت فيه، لكن ما غطست في جرن البركة الذي أنت غطست فيه، فقال عقبة وقد عدم رشاده وخفق من ذلك فؤاده، ويلك يا بطال إيش هذا الكلام وهذا الفضول الذي تقوله، وإذا بالأمير عمرو بن عبد الله قد وصل، فقال يا ولدي يا عمرو والله يوصل إليك ما دعوت لك في صحيفتك من الدعاء في البيت الحرام وزمزم والمقام، ثم ركب على ظهر بغلته بعد السلام والناس من وراه منقلبة، وكان البطال لما وقع بالقنديل قدمه للأمير عبد الوهاب، ففرح به فرحًا شديدًا ما عليه من مزيد، وكان البطال كره المقام بين بني سليم، وقال وحق المصطفى لا أقمت في مكان فيه عقبة بعد أن رأيت بعيني ما فعله، ولا بد أن أكون لهلاكه سبب، وأنحره كما أنحر الغنم، ثم طلع إلى قلعة الكوكب وأطلع الأميرة على القنديل، وقال هذا الذي تأسفتي عليه، وطلبتيه من الملك العلام، بأن يكون معلق في البيت الحرام، ثم حدثهم بحديث عقبة وما جرى له فقالت الأميرة لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله العلي العظيم، وصعب على الأمير عبد الوهاب وقال للبطال على ماذا عولت أن تفعل، فقال انتقل من عندكم وأجعل معولي على الله، ثم عليكم وأنحر هذا اللعين فإني سمعته يوعد كلب الروم بهلاكك ويجعل بلاد الإسلام للروم والكفرة اللئام، ويملك البيت الحرام فقال عبد الوهاب ساءت ظنونه وأعماله وقطعت أوصاله ولا بد لي إن شاء الله أن أصلبه على باب الذهب الذي تنصر فيه، ولو احتمى بكل من كفر، وما قدر هذا الكلب إلا كلب حتى يذكر بيت الله الحرام، وزمزم والمقام، وأنت أخي من الدنيا والآخرة، لك ما لي وعليك ما عليَّ، ثم إنه أمر غلمانه أنهم ينقلون أسباب البطال من ملطية إلى قلعة الكوكب، وكانت ثلاثة جوار روميات وعشرة غلمان والكل علمهم الاحتيال والخداع، وجرأهم على الأهوال وأقام البطال في قلعة الكوكب وأعلم الأمراء بإسلام مارس ودارس، وأختهم أرمانوسة، ففرحوا بذلك فرحًا شديدًا ما عليه من مزيد، وقالت الأميرة سبحان الله من أيقظ هؤلاء من سنة الغفلة وأضل عقبة من علمه وفضله، ولكن الله يفعل ما يشاء ويحكم ما يريد، ولم يزل البطال في قلعة الكوكب إلى أن سمع بوصول عقبة، فقال لا بد لي من الخروج إليه، ثم إنه خرج كما ذكرنا وكلم عقبة بما وصفناه، وعاد البطال إلى قلعة الكوكب وأعلم الأمير بقدوم عقبة، وكيف وصل من الحجاز، فقالت الأميرة إن قتله عند الله أعظم أجر من فتح القسطنطينية، لأنه يلعب بالأديان ويكفر بالرحمن، ثم أقاموا إلى أن أصبح بالصباح، وإذا برسول الأمير عمرو وصل إليهم يطلب الأمير أبو محمد البطال، وأيضًا يطلب القنديل ويأخذ من البطال حق القصاص بما يتكلم في حق عقبة ويقابله بما يستحقه، وأما القنديل يوصله إلى الأمام فإنه ولي الأحكام. قال الراوي: وكان السبب في ذلك الملعون عقبة لأنه لما وصل إلى ملطية وعلم أن البطال شنع عليه بهذه الأقوال الرديئة، وأيضًا بالغ في تشديد هذه القضية، وأنه اطلع على تنصره فقال أنا اعلم أن هذا الصبي يكشف سري بما رأى مني، فلم ينم تلك الليلة حتى ملأ قلب عمرو بن عبد الله، وقال له يا ولدي أنت هاهنا ملك العربان وأمير الثغور في كل مكان، وما نريد يتم أمر إلا ونعلم به الخليفة أمير المؤمنين، وإلا إن دمت هكذا انتقصت منزلتك عند الأمراء وعند الخاص والعام، وأيضًا تستطيل بني عامر وبني كلاب على بني سليم، وما ينبغي أن تكون بني سليم تحت الذل والضيع، وينبغي أنك ترسل تطلب القنديل لأن البطال دخل إلى القسطنطينية وسرق مالاً جزيلاً، ومن جملته ذلك القنديل وهو من الصواب إنك تطلبه وتطلب أيضًا البطال حتى أنه يقوم إليَّ ذليل، وأقبح بما قال في حقي لأنه رماني بالزور والبهتان، وتكلم في حقي بالكفر والطغيان، وسوف يكون لهلاكه سبب، وإذا لم نقيم ناموس الإمارة وإلا حلت بنا كل الخسارة.
الناصر صلاح الدين الأيوبي: نظرة الغرب لبطل الشرق (Studies In The History And Anthropology Of Religion Ser. #1)
by د.مجدي عز الدين حنفيهذا الكتاب يبرز نبذة مختصرة عن حياة القائد صلاح الدين الأيوبي. أردتُ أن أُظهِر رؤية الغرب لصفات ومميِّزات وعيوب هذه الشخصية الأسطورية المسلمة مِن خلال ترجمة مصادر إنجليزية وفرنسية عديدة، وكذلك استشارة مصادر عربية فيما يتعلَّق ببعض التفاصيل التاريخية والدينية، وبذلك تتعدَّد زوايا قراءة تاريخه. أبهرني إظهارهم للحقيقة بدون مبالغة، وتقييمهم ونقدهم البَنَّاء، فإذا كان هذا رأي الغرب (الصليبيِّين) فيه، فما بالك بحقيقة شخصيَّته مِن وجهة نظر معاصِريه؟ توجد مساحات لَم يسلَّط عليها الضوء في سيرته الذاتية، نعلم الكثير عن إنجازاته، ونعلم القليل عن شخصيَّته، مثله مثل غيره مِن حُكَّام العصور الوسطى. الفصول الثلاثة الأخيرة مِن الكتاب تتناول ما نستطيع أن نتعلَّمه مِن هذه الشخصيَّة، وكيف يمكننا الاستفادة مِن أخلاقه وأفعاله.. أرجو مِن الله أن تتمتَّعوا وتستفيدوا مِن هذا العمل.
شرح شذور الذهب في معرفة كلام العرب
by ابن هشاميقول عنه في المقدمة: "هذا كتاب شرحت به مختصري المسمى بـ: شذور الذهب، في معرفة كلام العرب، تممت به شواهده، وجمعت به شوارده،..قصدت فيه إلى إيضاح العبارة، لا إلى إخفاء الإشارة، وعمدت فيه إلى لفّ المعاني والأقسام، لا إلى نشر القواعد والأحكام، والتزمت فيه إنني كلما مررت ببيت من شواهد الأصل ذكرت اعرابه، وكلما أتيت على لفظ مستغرب أردفته مما يزيل استغرابه، وكلما أنهيت مسألة ختمتها بآية تتعلق بها من آي التنزيل، وأتبعتها بما تحتاج إليه من إعراب وتفسير وتأويل، وتصدي بذلك تدريب الطالب، وتعريفه السلوك إلى أمثال هذه المطالب". نيل و فرات
