The size of the energy sector in Mexico is just so vast; it has an outsize [big,
immense] impact on the rest of the Mexican economy.
For any country - and that includes Mexico and the U.S. - having good, robust

Scientific Revolution
Preliminary Discussion - Scientific Revolution refers to the period, from the late
sixteenth to the early eighteenth century in Europe, when new ideas in physics,
astronomy, biology, human anatomy, chemistry, and other sciences led to the
rejection of doctrines that had prevailed from ancient Greece through the
middle Ages. It has been described as the movement which was forged [created,
established] by Johannes Kepler (1571- 1630) and Galileo Galilei (1564- 1642),
developed by René Descartes (1596- 1650) and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-
1716), and completed by Isaac Newton (1642- 1727). The unprecedented
advancements in science during the early modern period yielded [produced,
generated] to enormous transformation of man´s thought and way of looking at
the world, and laid [positioned] the foundation of modern science. …
-- -- --
-- -- --
It was not until the American Revolution of 1776 and French Revolution in 1789
that a new meaning came to predominate the term ´revolution´ as a breach
[division, separation] of continuity or a secular change of real magnitude. Its
usage [convention, tradition] ever since [from the time when] has commonly
implied what. Bernard Cohen (1976) describes as, ‘a radical change and a
departure [exit, leaving] from traditional or accepted modes of thought, belief,
action, social behavior, or political or social organization’.
-- -- --
Christopher Hill justifies the origin of this common concept of revolution when
he writes that, ‘Conventional wisdom has it that the word ´revolution´ acquired
its modern political meaning only after 1688. Previously it had been an
astronomical and astrological term limited to the revolution of the heavens, or
to any complete circular motion [movement]’.
-- -- --
It was this conception that first led to the methods of research and treatment
that have caused the great flourishing of physical science... of which we are
reaping [harvesting, obtaining] the fruit in our own day: experiment as the
source of knowledge, mathematical formulation as the descriptive medium,
mathematical deduction as the guiding principle in the search for new
phenomenon to be verified by experimentation.
-- -- --
The study of the evolution (and the revolutions) of scientific ideas... shows us
the human mind at grips [appreciations, authorities] with reality, reveals to us
its defeats and victories; shows us what superhuman effort each step on [walk
on] the way to knowledge of reality has cost, effort which has sometimes led to
a veritable ´mutation´ in human intellect, that is to a transformation as a result
of which ideas which were ´invented´ with such effort by the greatest of minds
become accessible and even simple, seemingly [apparently] obvious, to every
student.
-- -- --
It does not follow, as so many ignorant persons think, that the medieval
activities were sterile… The middle Ages were pregnant with many ideas which
could not be delivered until much later. Modern science, we might say, was the
fruition [execution, completion] of medieval immaturity. Vesalius, Copernicus,
Galileo, Newton were the happy inheritors [successors] who cashed in
[recognized, sold].
-- -- --
I now conclude my story near the middle of the eighteenth century. [Because]
When Newton died the great creative phase of the scientific revolution was
already finished, though [however] its acceptance and assimilation were still
incomplete. Therefore [Consequently] I now omit the successor phases of the
eighteenth century in which the science of chemistry and electricity received
their first coherent forms.
-- -- --
-- -- --
-- -- --
We come to the conclusion that the scheme of physics was mainly determined
by the economic and technical tasks which the rising [expanding] bourgeoisie
raised [advanced] to the forefront [vanguard]. During the period of merchant
[commercial] capital the development of productive forces set science a series
of practical tasks and made an imperative demand for their accomplishment.

There are many who subscribe to the convention that service is a business cost,
but our data demonstrates that superior service is an investment that can help
drive business growth [development]. Investing in quality talent, and ensuring
they have the skills, training and tools that enable them to empathize and
actively listen to customers are central to providing consistently excellent
service experiences.
Jim Bush
Education also takes informally outside the institutions. For example, we also
learn through the library, the newspapers, the magazines, the mass media and
interactive communication technology, interaction with learned [well-
educated] people, and others, etc. All these sources entail [require] learning.
Interacting with a farmer might lead one to acquire an understanding of what
kinds of crops are grown every year in different seasons; how much is invested
by the farmer for production of crops; how much does he profit from the
production of crops; the hurdles [difficulties, problems] faced by the farmer in
marketing, etc. This learning takes place informally without any structured
ways and means [channels, ways] like curriculum, teacher or textbooks or an
institution. It opens wider possibilities of learning from others’ experiences and
get connected to the questions, issues and feelings that are important to people.
In contrast to this, education that takes place in the institutions is more formal
and structured, that tends to take place in an organized manner with lots of
instructional planning and support which are deliberately planned.

Leadership
Effective leadership skills can help leaders to gain the trust [confidence] of
employees, making other tasks easier to operate because the employees trust
their leaders. This could make other parts of business management easier too,
such as shaping the culture in an organization. A positive organizational culture
can bring lots of benefit to the organization, as the positive culture can
encourage and motivate the employees in the organization to learn,
communicate and work with each other. A good culture in the organization not
only provides a good working environment for their employees, but also gives
a sense of belonging to the employees and increases the commitment of
employees to continue working in the organization. Innovative ideas will be
produced when leadership motivates the employees to communicate with each
other and share their thoughts with each other.
Leadership skills also enable the leaders to lead their employees into [towards]
the correct direction, in accordance to the organization vision and mission.
When an organization’s leader leads the employees in the correct direction and
motivates them to continuously improve and innovate, the organization’s
performance will surely increase and be able to sustain the organization in the
current complex business environment. Hence [Consequently, For this reason],
effective leadership is the main factor that brings change to the organization, if
there is no leadership in the organization there will be no chance at all
(Atkinson, 2015).

A girl invited me to come out [become manifest, emerge] to a Bible study, and I

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in
Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and
born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died,
and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He
ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come
again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy
Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness [exoneration,
pardon] of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting [eternal].

One element of Madonna's career that really [in reality] takes center stage is how

A good leader uses all three styles, depending on what forces are involved
between the followers, the leader, and the situation. Some examples include:
2. Using a participative style with a team of workers who know their job.
The leader knows the problem, but does not have all the information. The
employees know their jobs and want to become part of the team.
3. Using a delegative style with a worker who knows more about the job
than one. One cannot do everything! The employee needs to take
ownership of her job. Also, the situation might call for one to be at other
places, doing other things.
4. Using all three: (a) Telling your employees that a procedure is not
working correctly and a new one must be established (authoritarian). (b)
Asking for their ideas and input on creating a new procedure
(participative). (c) Delegating tasks in order to implement the new
procedure (delegative).

«Innovation - Perspectives for the 21st Century». For this third book in the
BBVA series, we have chosen innovation as the central theme. It was chosen for
two fundamental reasons: the first was the decisive importance of innovation as
the most powerful tool for stimulating economic growth [development] and
improving human standards of living in the long term. This has been the case
throughout [during the course of] history, but in these modern times, when
science and technology are advancing at a mind-boggling [incredible] speed,
the possibilities for innovation are truly infinite. Moreover [Additionally], the
great challenges facing the human race today— inequality and poverty,
education and health care, climate change and the environment—have made
innovation more necessary than ever. Our economy and our society require
massive doses [amounts, quantities] of innovation in order to make a
generalized improvement in the standards of living of nearly 7 billion people
(the number continues to grow) compatible with the preservation of the natural
environment for future generations. The second reason for choosing this theme
is that it is consistent with BBVA’s corporate culture. Our group’s commitment
to the creation and dissemination of knowledge ties in directly with the vision
that guides every aspect of our activity: “BBVA, working towards a better future
for people.” People are the most important pillar of our work, and the work we
do for and on behalf of [in the best interests of, for] people is supported by two
other pillars of our culture and strategy: principles and innovation.
========================================================
We all face trauma, adversity and other stresses. Here’s a roadmap for adapting
to life-changing situations, and emerging even stronger than before.
Imagine you’re going to take a raft [package] trip down a river. Along with slow
water and shallows [white water], your map shows that you will encounter
unavoidable rapids and turns. How would you make sure you can safely cross
the rough [turbulent] waters and handle any unexpected problems that come
from the challenge?
Perhaps you would enlist the support of more experienced rafters [supports] as
you plan your route or rely on [depend on, count on] the companionship of
trusted friends along the way. Maybe you would pack an extra life jacket or
consider using a stronger raft [package]. With the right tools and supports in
place, one thing is sure: You will not only make it through [across] the
challenges of your river adventure. You will also emerge a more confident and
courageous rafter [support].
What is resilience?
Life may not come with a map, but everyone will experience twists [rotations,
spirals] and turns, from everyday challenges to traumatic events with more
lasting [durable] impact, like the death of a loved one, a life-altering accident or
a serious illness. Each change affects people differently, bringing a unique flood
of thoughts, strong emotions and uncertainty. Yet people generally adapt well
over time to life-changing situations and stressful situations — in part thanks to
resilience.
While these adverse events, much like rough river waters, are certainly painful
[uncomfortable] and difficult, they don’t have to determine the outcome [result]
of your life. There are many aspects of your life you can control, modify and
grow with. That’s the role of resilience. Becoming more resilient not only helps
you get through difficult circumstances, it also empowers you to grow and even
improve your life along the way.
Being resilient doesn’t mean that a person won’t experience difficulty or distress
[difficulty]. People who have suffered major adversity or trauma in their lives
commonly experience emotional pain and stress. In fact, the road to resilience
is likely to involve considerable emotional distress.
While certain factors might make some individuals more resilient than others,
resilience isn’t necessarily a personality trait [attribute, characteristic] that only
some people possess. On the contrary, resilience involves behaviors, thoughts
and actions that anyone can learn and develop. The ability to learn resilience is
one reason research has shown that resilience is ordinary, not extraordinary.
One example is the response of many Americans to the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist
attacks and individuals' efforts to rebuild their lives after tragedy.
Like building a muscle, increasing your resilience takes time and intentionality.
Focusing on four core components — connection, wellness, healthy thinking
and meaning — can empower you to withstand [endure, survive] and learn
from difficult and traumatic experiences. To increase your capacity for resilience
to weather [climate] — and grow from — the difficulties, use these strategies.
The pain of traumatic events can lead some people to isolate [separate, set apart]
themselves, but it’s important to accept help and support from those who care
about you. Whether you go on a weekly [periodical] date night with your
spouse [wife / husband] or plan a lunch out with a friend, try to prioritize
genuinely connecting with people who care about you.
Join a group. Along with one-on-one relationships, some people find that being
active in civic groups, faith-based communities, or other local organizations
provides social support and can help you reclaim hope. Research groups in your
area that could offer you support and a sense of purpose or joy when you need
it.
Take care of your body. Self-care may be a popular buzzword [exhortation], but
it’s also a legitimate practice for mental health and building resilience. That’s
because stress is just as much physical as it is emotional. Promoting positive
lifestyle factors like proper nutrition, ample [abundant] sleep, hydration and
regular exercise can strengthen your body to adapt to stress and reduce the toll
[charge] of emotions like anxiety or depression.
Avoid negative outlets [channels]. It may be tempting to mask your pain with
alcohol, drugs or other substances, but that’s like putting a bandage
[connection] on a deep wound [injury]. Focus instead on giving your body
resources to manage stress, rather than seeking to eliminate the feeling of stress
altogether [all in all, in total].
Find purpose
Help others. Whether you volunteer [offer, give] with a local homeless
[itinerant] shelter [protection] or simply support a friend in their own time of
need, you can garner [gather, acquire] a sense of purpose, foster [cultivate,
promote] self-worth [self- value], connect with other people and tangibly help
others, all of which can empower you to grow [develop] in resilience.
Be proactive. It’s helpful to acknowledge and accept your emotions during hard
times, but it’s also important to help you foster self-discovery by asking
yourself, “What can I do about a problem in my life?” If the problems seem too
big to tackle [face, undertake], break them down into manageable pieces.
For example, if you got laid off [terminated] at work, you may not be able to
convince your boss it was a mistake [error] to let you go. But you can spend an
hour each day developing your top strengths or working on your resume.
Taking initiative will remind you that you can muster [congregate, meet]
motivation and purpose even during stressful periods of your life, increasing
the likelihood [probability] that you’ll rise up [emerge] during painful [tedious]
times again.
Move toward your goals. Develop some realistic goals and do something
regularly — even if it seems like a small accomplishment — that enables you to
move toward the things you want to accomplish. Instead of focusing on tasks
that seem unachievable, ask yourself, "What's one thing I know I can accomplish
today that helps me move in the direction I want to go?" For example, if you’re
struggling with the loss of a loved one and you want to move forward, you
could join a grief [unhappiness] support group in your area.
Look for opportunities for self-discovery. People often find that they have
grown [developed, matured] in some respect as a result of a struggle. For
example, after a tragedy or hardship [adversity], people have reported better
relationships and a greater sense of strength, even while feeling vulnerable.
That can increase their sense of self-worth [self- value] and heighten [increase,
improve] their appreciation for life.
Keep things in perspective. How you think can play a significant part in how
you feel — and how resilient you are when faced with obstacles. Try to identify
areas of irrational thinking, such as a tendency to catastrophize difficulties or
assume the world is out [available, obtainable] to get you, and adopt a more
balanced and realistic thinking pattern. For instance, if you feel overwhelmed
[subjugated, exhausted] by a challenge, remind yourself that what happened to
you isn’t an indicator of how your future will go, and that you’re not helpless
[abandoned, vulnerable]. You may not be able to change a highly stressful
event, but you can change how you interpret and respond to it.
Accept change. Accept that change is a part of life. Certain goals or ideals may
no longer be attainable as a result of adverse situations in your life. Accepting
circumstances that cannot be changed can help you focus on circumstances that
you can alter.
Learn from your past. By looking back at who or what was helpful [useful,
effective] in previous times of distress, you may discover how you can respond
effectively to new difficult situations. Remind yourself of where you’ve been
able to find strength and ask yourself what you’ve learned from those
experiences.
Seeking help
For many people, using their own resources and the kinds of strategies listed
above may be enough for building their resilience. But at times, an individual
[person] might get stuck [trapped, fixed] or have difficulty making progress on
the road to resilience.

Humanist thinkers such as Rousseau convinced us that our own feelings and
desires were the ultimate [decisive, critical] source of meaning and that our free
will was, therefore [consequently], the highest authority of all.
Cat Stevens affirms: ‘In music, you can use metaphors with ease - if a person
doesn't understand the parable [story, allegory], they can still [even] enjoy the
melody of the music. If, however, a person reads a book and misses [fail to
attend] the meaning of its metaphors, this will be extremely disheartening
[demoralizing] for both the reader as well as the author’. As a result, we are in
our two important dimensions, i.e. [that is to say], music and books. So, can you
cite examples of exceptions with refinement parables, so in books, so in music?.
William Feather
Never think you can't do something. I definitely never thought I could write a

author of our book. A power ‘Aves’.

The Bible says, 'Judge not lest [for fear that] ye [you] be judged.' Our lives are
supposed to be hospitals, not courtrooms.
There's a verse in the Bible says, 'In everything give thanks, for this is the will
of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.' And what brings me peace is the
scripture.
When I visited Israel for the first time, in 2014, on a trip sponsored [supported]
by the National Religious Broadcasters [Presenters, Journalists], I went to the
Museum of The Bible with our group. There, we saw the most ancient and
original versions of both the Hebrew and Christian bibles.

My hope is that this life is not all there is. This life is like preparation for what
is coming next, and what is coming next is something so glorious that the Bible
says minds can't conceive it, eye has never seen, your imagination could never
even enter into all that God is preparing for those who love him.
7 The one who corrects a ridiculer [satirist] invites dishonor, and whoever
reproves someone wicked [severe] will get hurt [discomfort]. 8 Do not reprove
a ridiculer, or he will hate you. Reprove a wise person, and he will love you. 9
Share with a wise person, and he will become wiser. Teach someone righteous
[virtuous], and he will add to his learning.
Some people believe Adam and Eve committed a serious sin when they ate
[consumed] of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. However, latter day
scriptures help us understand that their Fall was a necessary step in the plan of
life and a great blessing [consecration, approval] to all of us. Because of the Fall,
we are blessed with physical bodies, the right to choose between good and evil,
and the opportunity to gain eternal life. None of these privileges would have
been ours had Adam and Eve remained in the garden.
The Scriptural expression "heaven and earth" means all that exists, creation in
its entirety. It also indicates the bond [link, friendship], deep within creation,
that both unites heaven and earth and distinguishes the one from the other: "the
earth" is the world of men, while "heaven" or "the heavens" can designate both
the firmament and God's own "place" - "our Father in heaven" and consequently
the "heaven" too which is eschatological glory. Finally, "heaven" refers to the
saints and the "place" of the spiritual creatures, the angels, who surround God.

absolutely critical to establishing a healthful lifestyle that incorporates proper
nutrition, adequate fitness, and mental resilience.

The Lord has declared, “It is my purpose to provide for my saints” (D&C
104:15). This revelation is a promise from the Lord that He will provide
temporal blessings [sanctifications, approbations] and open the door of self-
reliance [self-confidence], which is the ability for us to provide the necessities of
life for ourselves and our family members.
This workbook has been prepared to help members of the Church learn and put
into [towards] practice principles of faith, education, hard work, and trust in the
Lord. Accepting and living these principles will better enable you to receive the
temporal blessings promised by the Lord. We invite you to diligently study and
apply these principles and teach them to your family members. As you do so,
your life will be blessed [approved, sanctified].
You will learn how to act on your path toward greater self-reliance. You will be
blessed with greater hope, peace, and progress.
Please be assured that you are a child of our Father in Heaven. He loves you
and will never forsake [abandon] you. He knows you and is ready to extend to
you the spiritual and temporal blessings of self-reliance.
Sincerely,
The First Presidency - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Salt Lake

Without self-reliance one cannot exercise these innate desires to serve. How can
we give if there is nothing there? Food for the hungry cannot come from empty
[unoccupied] shelves [steps]. Money to assist the needy cannot come from an
empty purse [reward, prize]. Support and understanding cannot come from the
emotionally starved [have nothing to eat]. Teaching cannot come from the
unlearned. And most important of all, spiritual guidance cannot come from the
spiritually weak. Marion G. Romney.

I urge you . . . to look to the condition of your finances. I urge you to be modest
in your expenditures [expenses, payments]; discipline yourselves in your

This is a part of the temporal gospel in which we believe. May the Lord bless
you to set your houses in order. If you have paid your debts, if you have a
reserve, even though it be small…, you will have shelter [protection] for your
[families] and peace in your hearts.

«Of course, all the contents of our magazines of ‘Leadership of 100 and 5

The study was conducted by EMI Oxford (The Centre for Research and
Development in English Medium Instruction), a Centre based in the University
of Oxford’s Department of Education. The research group included Professor

In many countries the educational infrastructure does not support quality EMI
provision: there is a shortage [lack, deficiency] of linguistically qualified
teachers; there are no stated [specified, indicated] expectations of English
language proficiency [expertise, know-how]; there appear to be few
organizational or pedagogical guidelines [guiding principle] which might lead
to effective EMI teaching and learning; there is little or no EMI content in initial
teacher education (teacher preparation) programs and continuing professional
development (in-service) courses.

The study described in this report was a first phase in tackling [undertaking,
facing] that research agenda in that its intention was to investigate in very broad
[extensive, expansive] terms what the current situation is globally. This initial
phase, carried out [performed] with the support of the British Council, set about
mapping (a) «the size and shape of EMI in the world today». What is reported
here therefore [consequently] is a ‘bird’s eye view’ of 55 countries where (b)
«EMI is established or is in the process of being established».
[DATE] - The study was conducted from October 2013 to March 2014 and
investigated the current situation of EMI in terms of country particularities,
subjects being taught through EMI and important variables according to
educational phases.

The interviews were based on open questions about EMI aimed at investigating:
The interviewer also asked the teachers themselves what research questions
they would like EMI Oxford to investigate in the future in relation to EMI.

The research field of EMI can be conceptualized as having two dimensions. The
first is its presence in primary, secondary and tertiary education and the
transition points between these phases. The second is the separation between
public (state funded) and private education.

Some teachers also spoke about their wish to ‘attract intelligent people to their
university and share their own knowledge more widely’. Statements included:
«For my university it is necessary to open the doors, globalization has arrived.
We’re linguistically an isolated [remote, solitary] country. Internationalization
is one of the big words here. English as world language, as the key to success,
omnipresent [universal]».

Teachers felt that the students would improve their English by being exposed
to it, by having to express themselves and by reading and writing: «For sure
yes, they will be exposed to more input [participation, involvement, and
feedback], relevant input. Yes because they are forced to communicate with me
in English and forced to think in English. I’m sure they will improve because
they have to express themselves and collect [accumulate] the vocabulary to
express and for their writing».

Patterns of repetition govern each day, week, year, and lifetime. 'Personal

the ground [earth, argument] of meaning.

Science is very good at answering the 'how' questions. 'How did the universe

Man discovers them progressively as the laws of nature. They call forth [into

Attributes of the Holy Ghost [Spirit] - How does the Holy Ghost differ from the
Father and the Son?. Why is that difference important to us?. The Holy Ghost is
a member of the Godhead. He is a “personage of Spirit”. He can be in only one
place at a time, but His influence can be everywhere at the same time. Heavenly
Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost are called the Godhead. They are
unified in purpose. Each has an important assignment [task, project] in the plan
of salvation. Our Heavenly Father is our Father and ruler. Jesus Christ is our
Savior. The Holy Ghost is the revealer and testifier of all truth. The Holy Ghost
is our Heavenly Father’s messenger and is a special gift to us.

What is Science?
Science is a methodical approach to study the natural world. Science asks basic
questions, such as how does the world work? How did the world come to be?
What was the world like in the past, what is it like now, and what will it be like
in the future? These questions are answered using observation, testing, and
interpretation through logic.
Most scientists would not say that science leads to an understanding of the
truth. Science is a determination of what is most likely [probable] to be correct
at the current time with the evidence at our disposal [arrangement]. Scientific
explanations can be inferred [deduced, concluded] from confirmable data only,
and observations and experiments must be reproducible and verifiable by other
individuals. In other words, good science is based on information that can be
measured or seen and verified by other scientists.
Science takes the whole universe and any and all phenomena in the natural
world under [below] its purview [field, concern], limited only by what is
feasible [possible, viable] to study given our current physical and physical
limitations. Anything that cannot be observed or measured or shown to be false
is not amenable [agreeable, flexible] to scientific investigation. Explanations that
cannot be based on empirical evidence are not a part of science (National
Academy of Sciences, 1998).
Science is, however, a human endeavor [effort, work] and is subject to personal
prejudices [predispositions], misapprehensions [misunderstandings], and bias
[partiality]. Over time, however, repeated reproduction and verification of
observations and experimental results can overcome [conquer] these
weaknesses [disadvantages, difficulties]. That is one of the strengths [powers]
of the scientific process.

The method of the magazines of «Leadership of 100 and 5 Stars», with respect
to the English Language. So, by means of your readings, you learn via holistic
[all-inclusive, complete] narratives and descriptions. Your subconscious will
work on the best ways of comparative anatomy. Well, Winfred P. Lehmann
affirms: ‘No satisfactory historical linguistic study was carried out [performed]
before the beginning of the nineteenth century, and accordingly [consequently]
linguists had to develop appropriate methods for the new field. Like other new
sciences, historical linguistics then looked to those that had developed useful
methods. The greatest help came from comparative anatomy’.
Prejudice is a burden [problem] that confuses the past, threatens the future and
renders [represents, provides] the present inaccessible.
Maya Angelou
Of course laws will not eliminate prejudice from the hearts of human beings.
But that is no reason to allow prejudice to continue to be enshrined [preserved]
in our laws - to perpetuate injustice through inaction.
Shirley Chisholm
America is known as a country that welcomes people to its shores. All kinds of
people. The image of the Statue of Liberty with Emma Lazarus' famous poem.
She lifts [elevates] her lamp and welcomes people to the golden shore, where
they will not experience prejudice because of the color of their skin, the religious
faith that they follow.
The eradication of racial and religious prejudice in the United States - and in the
rest of the world as well - is a long-term process.
Robert Kennedy
Charles R. Swindoll
The less secure a man is, the more likely [probable] he is to have extreme
prejudice.
Clint Eastwood
Gore Vidal
Ambrose Bierce
Joe Haldeman
If a reviewer is beating me up, I just say, 'Oh well, my writing is not to his or
her taste [flavor, perception].' And that's as far as [to the degree that] it goes.
Because I will simultaneously read a review where somebody says, 'Oh my God,
I had so much fun reading this book and I learned so much.'
Dan Brown
Enrique, you affirm: ‘The Books, and a Mexico with Competence of Integration
in the World’. Now, can you add an appropriate quote?. Well, Gillian Tans
affirms: ‘The mission of Booking [Engagement, Contract] is to empower people
to experience the world. Whatever people want to do, wherever they want to
go, they can book [report] it with us’. We are justified.
The power of a book lies [be positioned] in its power to turn a solitary act into a
shared vision. As long as we have books, we are not alone.
Laura Bush
I'm struggling [fighting] with what is epic [heroic, classic]. People decided I was
epic - if by epic, do you mean a big, heavy book? 'David Copperfield' is a big
book - is it epic? Amount of time covered [obscured, protected], length, drama,
or story - that's the real appeal [demand, request] - if the story is long you have
a better chance of becoming more connected.
Patrick Rothfuss
David Livingstone
I believe there are some great things that I've taken from the Bible in terms of
loving the world and trying to be kind. There are a lot of good things to take
from the Bible, and I like to think I try to apply them to my life.
Michaela Coel
We gather [congregate, meet] for prayer, and reading the Bible, and singing the
songs of David.
William Brewster
The Holy Spirit means the invisible power of Jehovah, holy because he is holy.
This power of Jehovah operated upon [on] the minds of honest men who loved
and who were devoted to righteousness [justice, virtue], directing them in the
writing of the Bible.
'Walking the Bible' describes the year that I spent retracing [reviewing] the five
books of Moses through the desert, and I was actually working on a follow-up
[continuation, development], which would look at the rest of the Hebrew Bible
and the New Testament.
Bruce Feiler
I like reading my bible, I like bible studies where I get together [meet,
congregate] with others and talk about the word of God and how it relates to us
and how we can change to become more like him.
Bernhard Langer
When I was in college, I learned to really [in reality] take care of my body and
figured out [discovered] what works best for me and what doesn't work for me
when it comes to my nutrition. That helped so much on the field because soccer
is such a fitness-oriented game.
Abby Wambach
At the most elite level, your nutrition becomes a lifestyle: it's not something you
have to do when you're preparing for Olympic Games or World Cup games -
you just do it. You're more inclined to eat healthier because it's better for your
muscles.
Abby Wambach
Good nutrition and regular exercise definitely help you cope [manage, handle]
with life's dramas.
Terri Irwin
… I've become one of those people who can't stop talking about the connection
between food and health. Now that I know how much changing what you eat
can transform your life, I can't stop proselytizing [persuading].
Robin Quivers
Marcus Samuelsson
I believe that parents need to make nutrition education a priority in their home
environment. It's crucial for good health and longevity to instill [inculcate,
teach] in your children sound [complete] eating habits from an early age.
Cat Cora
Our body is the only one we've been given, so we need to maintain it; we need
to give it the best nutrition.
Trudie Styler
It has always been the role of government to help solve problems, including and
especially health crises. Obesity is a health epidemic across [through] our
country, and we have a responsibility as a government and a society to do all
we can to promote good nutrition and healthy eating so we can reverse this
alarming trend [tendency, inclination].
Richard J. Codey
School is where children spend most of their time, and it is where we lay [place,
put] the foundation [basis, establishment] for healthy habits. That's why New
Jersey is the first state to adopt a comprehensive [complete, inclusive] school
nutrition policy that bans [prohibits, disallows] candy, soda, and other junk
food.
Richard J. Codey
Nutrition is also a valuable component that can help athletes both protect
themselves and improve performance.
Bill Toomey
Jenson Button
I can't eat whatever I want, definitely not. I'm always controlled because I do a
lot of fitness and triathlons, not just Formula One, so I always make sure
[validate, take care] I eat the right things.
Jenson Button
You can control what you put in your body - 100 percent. You really can control
your level of fitness and how your body looks.
Sara Rue
I also meet with city officials, representatives from governors' offices, really [in
reality] anyone in that sort of position who has shown an interest in youth
fitness, to let them know why this sort of program is so important. I give the
same message when I speak at conferences.
Rafer Johnson
I've published one book before, and now I'm writing a book of essays and stories
about life in Tokyo. And I have one book coming out [appearing] in May in
Germany, about fitness.
Franka Potente
Making fitness a priority will energize you, make you look [appearance,
expression] and feel better, and help diffuse [disperse] stress.
Every day, I get up [get to your feet, arise] to hit the gym; the schedule is such
that it gives me the requisite energy to last [endure, persist] the entire day. I
stress [emphasize] on cardiovascular exercises, and the workout [test, training]
is programmed with my sporting schedule. Most of the fitness schedule is based
on what I require for my upcoming [future, imminent] matches [competitions].
Gautam Gambhir
Fitness is not about being better than someone else, but it is about being better
than what you used to be!
Nikita Dutta
For me personally, fitness is more about a lifestyle. It's not just about looking
good but also doing stunts [performances, deeds]. For me, it's a 360 degree
approach - whether it's working out [exercising], food we eat, sleeping on time,
everything comes together to be fit [healthy, adequate].
Kiara Advani
I like to keep myself fit at the pace [step] of the game. I just focus on my process,
including my fitness, skills, and fielding [returning].
Shikhar Dhawan
There is no prejudice that the work of art does not finally overcome [conquer].
Andre Gide
The greatest friend of truth is Time, her greatest enemy is Prejudice, and her
constant companion is Humility.
Hubert H. Humphrey
To advocate [support, promote] a New Order was to seek freedom and respect
for peoples without prejudice, and to seek a stable basis for the existence all
peoples, equally, and free of threats [intimidations].
Hideki Tojo
I believe the most important thing for the media is to be objective, fair, and
balanced. We should not report a story with preconceptions or prejudice.
Jack Ma
I want to stress [emphasize] the importance of being fair to our readers. You
should not impose your own view and prejudice on the readers and try to lead
them to a conclusion. As a reader, I understand what a fair report is.
Jack Ma
Alan Alda
Once you have dialogue starting, you know you can break down [break,
separate] prejudice.
Harvey Milk
Robert Peel
Henry A. Wallace
I think that building political power has to come from the outside [exterior] and
from within [inside]. Meaning, we have to build political alternatives to the
existing system, and we have to try to impact what is happening in the existing
system.
Alicia Garza
Imagine that your life's efforts serve as a mark of God and that the only way the
divine is seen, heard or expressed is through the legacy [heritage] you leave
behind [at the back]. The yearning [desire] to make a difference is your need to
express your purpose and derive meaning from your time on earth.
Debbie Ford
God created a number of possibilities in case [in the event] some of his
prototypes failed - that is the meaning of evolution.
Graham Greene
About the highlighted blue in the magazines of «Leadership of 100 and 5 Stars».
Well, Heidi Klum affirms: ‘I think it's important to get your surroundings
[environments] as well as [in addition to] yourself into [towards] a positive state
- meaning surround [enclose] yourself with positive people, not the kind who
are negative and jealous [envious, resentful] of everything you do’. To conclude,
now, Mitt Romney: ‘Moral certainty, clear standards, and a commitment to
spiritual ideals will set you apart in a world that searches for meaning’.
Paul Rand
Broadly [Generally], the meaning of life comes from how we interact with each
other. The Internet can reconfigure space so that [with the purpose of] the right
people are always next to each other.
Reid Hoffman
What makes the meaning of life is people, so [consequently] you try to be good
to people immediately around you and in your broader [bigger, general]
community. So a lot of my projects are about how I can affect the world in the
hundreds of millions.
Reid Hoffman
Life isn't about the final moments, it's about the journey [trip, excursion], it's
about process. What makes 'Rocky' work as a movie is seeing him working his
way up [incline] from the streets to the arena and the fight of his life. You could
just show that fight, and it would be great, but seeing that journey illuminates
that fight and adds profound meaning to it. - [100 and 5 Stars]

«The best effect of any book is that it excites the reader to self-activity».
Thomas Carlyle
The purpose of this book is to help those who work in the world of research to
communicate the contents and importance of their own work or the work in
their field.
The idea is to take a look at what lays [places, positions] behind the work of
professional communicators, like journalists, who understand how to address
[speak, attend] the public at large [in general], and learn to use their skills to the
benefit of science.
The good news is that the rules to communicate effectively are few and simple.
The bad news is that it is not easy or natural to apply them. To some degree, in
fact, communicating is a repeatedly new process, and the most suitable
[appropriate] application of the rules needs to be identified case by case, using
your creativity, …

To research my book 'Me the People' - in which I have rewritten the entire
[whole, complete] Constitution of the United States - I flew to Greece, the

if you can believe it, read the Constitution of the United States.
Kevin Bleyer
What I see in the Bible, especially in the book of Psalms, which is a book of
gratitude for the created world, is a recognition that all good things on Earth are
God's, every good gift is from above. They are good if we recognize where they
came from and if we treat them the way the Designer intended them to be
treated.
Philip Yancey
Words have power. Words created this universe... Everything started with the
Word. The Bible says, 'In the beginning was the word.' In the same way, your
words have creative power.
Bo Sanchez
The Bible was written in several languages, embraces [includes, supports] many
literary forms, and reflects cultures very different from our own. These are
important considerations for properly understanding the Bible in its context.
Troy Perry
My father was a Baptist preacher, and he used to read the King James Bible to
me every single morning. He made me memorize it and repeat verses at night

Jay Parini
My effort has been not only to put the Biblical incident in the original setting
[scenery]... but at the same time give the human touch to convey [communicate,

I'm a spiritual person: I believe that if you read the Bible, you get what you want
from it. But, when you actually [truly, in reality] read it, you see the beauty,
spirituality, the joy and love, and what makes us godly [religious, holy].

When you consider how many people are really [in reality] not good at

many companies struggle to build high-quality partnerships [collaborations] -
or even staffs [human resources].
Michael Gerber
Language is just a communication tool; it is the content that decides the fate
[destiny, fortune] of a film.
By and large [Generally, As a rule], the critics and readers gave me an affirmed

have it affirmed by others is of utmost [greatest, maximum] importance.

You can only get control of your time and your life by changing the way
you think, work and deal with the never ending river of responsibilities that

the few things that can really make a difference in your life.

Thomas Edison,
1847-1931:
America's Great Inventor.
ANNOUNCER:
Welcome to the VOA Special English program, People in America. Today, Sarah
Long and Bob Doughty tell about the inventor Thomas Alva Edison. He had a
major effect on the lives of people around the world. Thomas Edison is
remembered most for the electric light, his phonograph and his work with
motion pictures.
(MUSIC)
VOICE ONE:
Thomas Edison's major inventions were designed and built in the last years of
the eighteen hundreds. However, most of them had their greatest effect in the
twentieth century.
It is extremely difficult to find anyone living today who has not been affected in
some way by Thomas Edison. Most people on Earth have seen some kind of
motion picture or heard some kind of sound recording. And almost everyone
has at least seen an electric light.
These are only three of the many devices Thomas Edison invented or helped to
improve. People living in this century have had easier and more enjoyable lives
because of his inventions.

Creativity
Reached New Heights
Hard economic times and social conflict have always offered a rich source of
material for artists and writers. A painter's colors can show the drying of dreams
or the flight of the human spirit. A musician can express the tensions and
uncertainty of a people in struggle. The pressures of hard times can be the force
to lift a writer's imagination to new heights.
So it was during the nineteen thirties in the United States. The severe economic
crisis -- the Great Depression -- created an atmosphere for artistic imagination
and creative expression. The common feeling of struggle also led millions of
Americans to look together to films, radio, and other new art forms for relief
from their day-to-day cares. This week in our series, we tell about American arts
and popular culture during the nineteen thirties.
The most popular sound of the nineteen thirties was a new kind of music called
“Swing.” And the "King of Swing" was a clarinet player named Benny
Goodman.
Benny Goodman and other musicians made swing music extremely popular
during the nineteen thirties.
Swing was a new form of jazz. Many of its first players were black musicians in
small, unknown groups. It was only when more well-known white musicians
started playing swing in the middle nineteen thirties that the new music became
wildly popular.
One reason for the popularity of swing music was the growing power of radio
during the nineteen thirties.
Radio had already proven in earlier years that it could be an important force in
both politics and popular culture. Millions of Americans bought radios during
the nineteen twenties. But radio grew up in the nineteen thirties.
SINGING SAM: “Howdy, Folks. Yes, it is your old friend Singing Sam, so let’s
just settle back and reminisce a bit, what you say, huh?”
Producers became more skillful in creating programs. And actors and actresses
began to understand the special needs and power of this new electronic art
form.

El Centro es el Centro
- Por el Mexicano Miguel Ángel Cornejo
Todos tenemos alguna habilidad que rebasa al resto, es la actividad que más
disfrutamos, es la esencia de nuestra naturaleza; quien disfruta de pintar debe
pintar toda su vida; a quien le llena de alegría construir debe construir; quien se
complace en dar clases ha identificado que su vocación es ser maestro; de hecho,
todos los seres humanos nacimos con una vocación determinada y el mundo es
mundo porque afortunadamente todos los seres humanos somos diferentes y
singulares.
Cada persona es una sorpresa para el resto de la humanidad. Cada vez que un
ser humano nace es una incógnita; nadie sabe qué o quién va a llegar a ser.
Solamente la educación puede descubrir su auténtica vocación, pues quien nace
y vive en la ignorancia nunca podrá descubrir su llamado y vivirá y morirá sin
saber realmente para qué ha existido.
Seguramente hay algo que usted disfruta intensamente: la tarea en la cual siente
que expresa lo mejor de sí mismo es cuando el tiempo pierde su dimensión,
pues no importa a lo que se dedique; su atención sólo está centrada en esa labor.
A Miguel Angel Buonarroti lo calificaban de lento por el largo tiempo que
consumía en cada una de sus obras; escuchaba las críticas, absorto en su tarea,
sin importarle un comino lo que pensaran los demás. Así, la persona que
identifica su centro y se atreve a concentrarse en él, ha logrado identificar el
camino a su plena realización; ha descubierto una forma diferente de existir; ha
reinaugurado su forma de vivir; se ha atrevido finalmente a ser él mismo, es
más, ya no existe para él el paradigma de trabajar y descansar -forma inútil en
que dividen la vida los mediocres-, pues todo lo que observa, estudia, medita,
todo lo que percibe, lo suma a su centro como si fuera una gran centrífuga que
absorbe todas sus vivencias.
Los líderes de Excelencia han logrado identificar su centro, por eso parece que
el tiempo les rinde mucho más que al resto de la gente. Tan intensamente
disfrutan su llamado, que parecen ir a una velocidad vertiginosa; ya no
compiten con el tiempo, sino que se dejan llevar por su pasión; han logrado
finalmente su forma de vivir.
Todos los seres humanos tenemos una vocación, un llamado, pero cabría
preguntarnos ¿y quién llama? Estoy convencido de que nuestra existencia no es
producto de la casualidad, todos tenemos una misión que cumplir, por alguna
causa, para lograr un mundo mejor. La corriente de la evolución nadie la puede
detener, el mundo actual es mucho mejor que el mundo de ayer, en bienestar,
longevidad, comunicación y, por supuesto, día a día vamos al encuentro de
valores superiores; las vidas que se han atrevido a vivir en su centro nos han
heredado un mundo más humano y justo, y algunos -consciente o
inconscientemente- se han convertido en cocreadores de la obra de Dios, su vida
ha sido útil para el resto de la humanidad legándonos ya sea una vacuna, un
avance tecnológico, una poesía o sencillamente una vida dedicada con pasión a
la tarea de educar o de formar una familia con dignidad, honor y amor a los
valores universales.

Now, our magazine «Leadership of 100 and 5 Stars – Edition Bonus» enriches
our present theme of Miguel Ángel Cornejo, and here, 10 Quotes about
«Learning».
I used to have all these plans and think 'Ah, I have my whole life figured out
[discovered]', but then I realized [recognized] no matter how much I plan: life
happens! So I find myself living day to day trying to do my best, embracing
every moment as a learning opportunity and chance to get to know myself a
little more.
Q'orianka Kilcher
Alan Perlis
Marillyn Hewson
Daymond John
Treat failure as a lesson on how not to approach achieving a goal, and then use
that learning to improve your chances of success when you try again. Failure is
only the end if you decide to stop.
Richard Branson
Defense is a definite part of the game, and a great part of defense is learning to
play it without fouling [making dirty].
John Wooden
Learning too [excessively] soon our limitations, we never learn our powers.
[Note: An adverb describe adverbs, too; i.e. [that is to say] among its functions].
Mignon McLaughlin
Marilyn Ferguson
I'm constantly learning, and that is the greatest gift of life in my opinion - to
always be learning and growing [developing].
Kristin Chenoweth
I think it's never too late to learn - or it's a lesson that's good to continue learning
- that you need to treat everyone … with respect.

In Sacred Scripture the term "soul" often refers to human life or the entire human
person. But "soul" also refers to the innermost [deepest, personal] aspect of man,
that which is of greatest value in him, that by which he is most [very] especially
in God's image: "soul" signifies the spiritual principle in man. -- -- --
The Church teaches that every spiritual soul is created immediately by God - it
is not "produced" by the parents - and also that it is immortal: it does not perish
when it separates from the body at death, and it will be reunited with the body
at the final Resurrection. -- -- --
The spiritual tradition of the Church also emphasizes the heart, in the biblical
sense of the depths of one's being, where the person decides for or against God.
-- -- --
Man and woman have been created, which is to say, willed [required] by God:
on the one hand, in perfect equality as human persons; on the other, in their
respective beings as man and woman. "Being man" or "being woman" is a reality
which is good and willed by God: man and woman possess an inalienable
dignity which comes to them immediately from God their Creator. Man and
woman are both with one and the same dignity "in the image of God". In their
"being-man" and "being-woman", they reflect the Creator's wisdom and
goodness.

Three distinct agencies, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, work together
for human beings. They are united in the work of making the church on earth
like the church in heaven. They place the resources of heaven at the disposal
[clearance, arrangement] of those who will appreciate and impart these spiritual
treasures, multiplying them by using them to the glory of God. Every diligent
effort to improve adds to the gifts we have. __ __ __
God, we must know Him as a personal Friend. It is our privilege to know Him
through Bible study, through the revelation of nature, and, above all, through
personal contact in prayer [invocation]. This is a daily experience. __ __ __
The connection of the visible with the invisible world, the ministration of angels
of God, and the agency of evil [sin, iniquity] spirits, are plainly [obviously]
revealed in the Scriptures, and inseparably interwoven [interconnected, linked]
with human history. There is a growing tendency to disbelief in the existence of
evil spirits, [-] while the holy [sanctified] angels that "minister for them who
shall be heirs [beneficiaries] of salvation" (Hebrews 1:14), [-] are regarded
[observed] by many as the spirits of the dead [extinct]. But the Scriptures not
only teach the existence of angels, both good and evil, but present
unquestionable proof that these are not the disembodied [incorporeal] spirits of
dead men. __ __ __

What are some of the blessings that we enjoy today because the scriptures are
so accessible?
When the Lord’s servants speak or write under [below, in] the influence of the
Holy Ghost, their words become scripture. From the beginning, the Lord has
commanded His prophets to keep a record of His revelations and His dealings
with His sons. He said: “I command all men, both in the east and in the west,
and in the north, and in the south, and in the islands of the sea, that they shall
write the words which I speak unto [towards, to] them; for out of [of, outside]
the books which shall be written I will judge the world, every man according to
their works, according to that which is written” (2 Nephi 29:11). The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints accepts four books as scripture: the Bible, the
Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants [Agreements, Contracts], and the
Pearl of Great Price. These books are called the standard works of the Church.
The inspired words of our living prophets are also accepted as scripture. ■
In addition to these four books of scripture, the inspired words of our living
prophets become scripture to us. Their words come to us through conferences,
the Liahona or Ensign Magazine, and instructions to local priesthood [clergy,
ministry] leaders. “We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now
reveal, and we believe that He will yet [still] reveal many great and important
things pertaining to the Kingdom of God”.

For you, three excellent conferences of the «Congregación Gozo y Paz, A.C., de
Tehuacán, Puebla, México». The congregation is an important interpretation of
the Messiah of Israel, Yahshua HaMashiaj, with special accent in that country,
in Israel, and for the world. Of course. Well, our conferences are 1) La Torah, 3)
Hamatza, and 3) Sucot. You can obtain them from the Blogspot named «Perform
the Spirit – Lazos Increíbles». - <https://performthespirit.blogspot.mx/> -. Our
conferences are imparted in excellent way by our friend, and master, the
eminent minister Dr. Javier Palacios Celorio. Well, The congregation affirm: «La
Torah no fue destruida o abolida es perfecta, Salmo 19 verso 7, Santiago 1:25»,
«Por la fe confirmamos la Torah (Romanos 3:31)», «El que decide seguir al
Mesías de Israel, se convierte en ciudadano de Israel (Efesios 2:12)», … Thanks
to you all.

The Hebrew word «yadh» is usually rendered “hand,” but depending on the
context, this word may be rendered “authority,” “generosity,” “power,” and
many other ways.
«New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures». Witnesses of Jehovah
If we obey, the Lord promises, “The gates [accesses, entrances] of hell [inferno]
shall not prevail against you; yea, and the Lord God will disperse [disappear]
the powers of darkness from before you, and cause the heavens to shake
[agitate] for your good [benefit, advantage], and his name’s glory”. When we
do as our prophet directs, blessings [sanctifications] pour down [rain] from
heaven.

138 Then two robbers were put on stakes alongside him, one on his right and
one on his left. 39 And those passing by spoke abusively of him, shaking their
heads 40 and saying: “You who would throw down the temple and build it in
three days, save yourself! If you are a son of God, come down off the torture
stake!” 41 In the same way also, the chief priests with the scribes and the elders
began mocking him, saying: 42 “Others he saved; himself he cannot save! He is
King of Israel; let him now come down off the torture stake, and we will believe
in him. 43 He has put his trust in God; let Him now rescue him if He wants him,
for he said, ‘I am God’s Son.’” 44 In the same way, even the robbers who were
on stakes alongside him were reproaching him.
__ __ __
39 Then one of the criminals hanging there began to speak abusively to him,
saying: “You are the Christ, are you not? Save yourself and us too!” 40 In
response the other rebuked him, saying: “Do you not fear God at all, now that
you have received the same judgment? 41 And we rightly so, for we are getting
back what we deserve for the things we did; but this man did nothing wrong.”
42 Then he said: “Jesus, remember me when you get into your Kingdom.” 43
And he said to him: “Truly I tell you today, you will be with me in Paradise.”

The one who builds his stairs [set of steps] in the heavens. And establishes his
structure over the earth; the one who summons [activates] the waters of the sea,
to pour them out [serve them, distribute them] on the surface of the earth.
For I well know the thoughts that I am thinking toward you, declares Jehovah,
thoughts of peace, and not of calamity, to give you a future and a hope. And
you will call me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.
26 Well, eight days later his disciples were again indoors [inside], and Thomas
was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and he stood in
their midst and said: “May you have peace.” 27 Next he said to Thomas: “Put
your finger here, and see my hands, and take your hand and stick it into [push
into] my side, and stop doubting [unbelieving] but believe.” 28 In answer
Thomas said to him: “My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus said to him: “Because
you have seen me, have you believed? Happy are those who have not seen and
yet believe.”
When he makes his voice heard, the waters in the heavens are in turmoil
[turbulence], and he causes clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth. He
makes lightning [fast, precipitous] for the rain, and he brings the wind out of
[of, outside] his storehouses.
Jeremiah 10:13 - Jehovah’s Witnesses
I am creating the fruit of the lips. Continuous peace will be given to the one who
is far away [distant] and the one who is near, says Jehovah, And I will heal [cure,
restore] him.
Isaiah 57:19 - Jehovah’s Witnesses
Now you are Christ’s body, and each of you individually is a member. And God
has assigned the respective ones in the congregation: first, apostles; second,
prophets; third, teachers; then powerful works; then gifts of healings; helpful
services; abilities to direct; different tongues [languages]. Not all are apostles,
are they? Not all are prophets, are they? Not all are teachers, are they? Not all
perform powerful works, do they? Not all have gifts of healings, do they? Not
all speak in tongues, do they? Not all are interpreters, are they? But keep striving
for the greater gifts. And yet I will show you a surpassing way [route, method].
