Piggybanking: Preparing Your Financial Life for Kids and Your Kids for a Financial Life
by Jeff D. OpdykeHow to afford kids--and teach them about money. We all want to raise smart children. But somewhere between the reading, writing, and arithmetic, one of life's most important lessons is too often overlooked: personal finances. As adults, we interact with money every day, whether by saving, investing, spending, or giving it, but we often forget that kids also face these same decisions--from their own unique perspective--as they mature. How do we teach today what kids really need to know tomorrow to thrive as financially savvy adults? In Piggybanking, veteran Wall Street Journal personal-finance writer Jeff D. Opdyke provides a clear and effective plan to help parents raise children to be comfortable and confident managing the daily finances of life. But even before kids arrive, parents face a rash of financial decisions. Accordingly, Piggybanking also deals with the essential problems every struggling young family must face, including how to prepare your budget for a child's arrival, how to choose between single- and dual-income lifestyles, and how to plan for funding a college education. With Opdyke's valuable advice, and with his 15 Rules of Kids & Money in hand, parents will be well equipped to create a sound financial foundation for their family and a successful financial life for their kids.

La Píldora De La Inmortalidad - Disponible Ahora
by Mariana Barrancos Richard Stooker¿Qué nos hace envejecer? Al principio, suena como una pregunta tonta. El envejecimiento es un aspecto tan intrínseco de la condición humana que tendemos a darlo por sentado. . . Simplemente. . . sucede. Pero, vivimos en un mundo de causa y efecto. El envejecimiento es un efecto... entonces, ¿cuál sería la causa? El modo más común de pensar en esto es desde la perspectiva de que nuestros cuerpos son objetos físicos y, eventualmente, todo lo que es físico se desgasta o se rompe, como ocurre con nuestros automóviles, nuestras casas e incluso, con nuestras computadoras. Es lo que se conoce como la teoría del "uso y desgaste" del envejecimiento. Pero nuestros cuerpos son diferentes porque estamos vivos y - en condiciones de salud óptimas - nuestros cuerpos se regeneran solos, siempre que esto sea posible. Los cortes cicatrizan, los huesos rotos se sueldan y así, ocurre con todas las cosas. De hecho, cada día, millones de nuestras células mueren al realizar sus funciones. Y, simplemente, son reemplazadas por otras células nuevas. Nuestros cuerpos pueden, incluso, continuar funcionando continuamente, obviando el tejido dañado, incluyendo el tejido cerebral. No obstante, en cierto punto, nuestros cuerpos se vuelven menos capaces de repararse y regenerarse. Alrededor de los 40 años de edad, dejamos de reparar y procesar por completo, todas las proteínas de nuestras células muertas o dañadas. Al igual que una ciudad en decadencia, cuando se queda sin ingresos fiscales, los servicios como la reparación de las calles y la recolección de basura van quedando cada vez más postergados. En los últimos cien a ciento cincuenta años, el promedio de vida aproximado de la gente - especialmente en el mundo desarrollado - ha incrementado dramáticamente. Principalmente, el crédito de esto se lo llevan un sistema sanitario mejorado, los antibióticos, una mejor asistencia a los niños e infantes y el incremento en el suministro
Pilgrim
by Lee KravitzA former editor in chief of Parade magazine embarks on a spiritual quest that goes to the heart of what really matters in life Lee Kravitz is adrift--shaken deeply after 9/11 and the loss of his job, he begins to feel the pull toward rediscovering his spirituality. He faces resistance from his wife, who doesn't understand why their family life can't provide what he needs, but when he suffers what he thinks is a heart attack and calls out for God, Lee realizes he must take action. His journey takes him to many places--Quaker meetings, Catholic mass, and even sessions with an astrologer--and blends memoir, religion, and science, culminating in a narrative that speaks to the universal need to feel connected to the world around us. In documenting his quest to pursue a contemplative life in the chaos of everyday existence and fit his religion-shaped needs into a secular mold, Lee offers a blueprint for anyone who might find himself lost at one point or another. With forays into meditation, Quakerism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Protestantism, Judaism, and more, Pilgrim is an engrossing, thoughtful, and stirring guide for readers of Kathleen Norris and Anne Lamott.

The Pilgrim Soul
by Ravi Ravindra"Wandering, one gathers honey," observes the Aitareya Brahmana. In this spirit Ravi Ravindra, renowned for his integration of physics and comparative religions, explores the heart of Buddhism, Christianity, and Hinduism to define a universal spiritual path that transcends any tradition. People with a pilgrim soul, he says, are open to a freedom from all that is known. They seek to practice mindfulness in each moment, so that washing the dishes or emptying the garbage becomes a sacred act; they seek to enter the dimension of eternity, realizing that the eternal is always present, right here, right now. Wisdom is the ability to act freshly in time while being anchored in eternity, says Ravindra. This deceptively simple small volume contains a wealth of wisdom for living that way.

Pill Head: The Secret Life of a Painkiller Addict
by Joshua LyonThis compelling, honest book investigates the growing epidemic of prescription painkiller abuse among today's Generation Rx. Through gripping profiles and heartbreaking confessions, this memoir dares to uncover the reality--the addiction, the withdrawal, and the recovery--of this newest generation of pill poppers.Joshua Lyon was no stranger to substance abuse. By the time he was seventeen, he had already found sanctuary in pot, cocaine, Ecstasy, and mushrooms--just to name a few. Ten years later, on assignment for Jane magazine, he found himself with a two-inch-thick bottle of Vicodin in his hands and only one decision to make: dispose of the bottle or give in to his curiosity. He chose the latter. In a matter of weeks he'd found his perfect drug. In the early half of this decade, purchasing painkillers without a doctor was as easy as going online and checking the spam filter in your inbox. The accessibility of these drugs--paired with a false perception of their safety--contributed to their epidemic-like spread throughout America's twenty-something youth, a group dubbed Generation Rx. Pill Head is Joshua Lyon's harrowing and bold account of this generation, and it's also a memoir about his own struggle to recover from his addiction to painkillers. The story of so many who have shared this experience--from discovery to addiction to rehabilitation--Pill Head follows the lives of several young people much like Joshua and dares to blow open the cultural phenomena of America's newest pill-popping generation. Marrying the journalist's eye with the addict's mind, Joshua takes readers through the shocking and often painful profiles of recreational users and suffering addicts as they fight to recover. Pill Head is not only a memoir of descent, but of endurance and of determination. Ultimately, it is a story of encouragement for anyone who is wrestling to overcome addiction, and anyone who is looking for the strength to heal.

Pillow Talk: What's Wrong with My Sewing?
by Craig ConoverPerfect for fans of One Day You&’ll Thank Me and Capital Gaines, the star of Southern Charm and cofounder and CMO of Sewing Down South reveals how he turned his passion for sewing into a profitable enterprise and a fulfilling life, while also taking us behind-the-scenes of one of Bravo&’s most popular shows. As a young boy sitting at a sewing machine in home economics class, Craig Conover had no idea that this hobby would one day change his life for the better. Growing up in Delaware, Conover experienced cruel bullying and suffered from severe anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder that robbed him of his childhood confidence and made him crave success. But while law school in Charleston seemed to provide him the direction he needed, Conover spent years searching for meaning and passion in life. The chance to become a cast member on Bravo&’s Southern Charm promised to provide that. Though the show gave Conover his shot at fame and fortune, it also offered destructive temptations that fed his insecurities. As the show increased in popularity, he sank deeper into procrastination and self-doubt. Unable to take control of his life, Conover quickly lost his job, his girlfriend, and his motivation. Then, at his lowest point, Conover turned to his passion—sewing—and slowly pulled himself out of the spiral. A chance phone call from an old friend gave Conover the support he needed to turn his hobby into a business. Soon after, Sewing Down South was borne and became an overnight success, with Conover launching a multi-state &“Pillow Party Tour,&” being featured on HSN, and opening a retail store in downtown Charleston. Now, Conover reveals the full story of the drama that swirled around him on the show—both on screen and off—and how it led to the founding of Sewing Down South. He talks about how he was able to turn his passion into his work and reclaim the direction of his life. Most of all, Conover reveals how anyone can find the purpose and fulfillment they deserve.

A Pílula da Imortalidade - Já Disponível
by Richard Stooker Irina MaiaO que causa o nosso envelhecimento? Primeiro, isto parece uma pergunta parva. Envelhecer é um aspecto intrínseco da condição humana e tomamo-lo por garantido... simplesmente... acontece. Mas vivemos num mundo de causa e efeito. Se o envelhecimento é um efeito, qual é a causa? A forma mais comum de pensarmos nisto é da perspectiva de que os nossos corpos são físicos e eventualmente gastam-se, tal como os nossos carros, as nossas casas e até os nossos computadores. Isto é conhecido como a teoria do envelhecimento pelo "desgaste". Mas os nossos corpos são diferentes desses objectos, porque estão vivos e, em condições óptimas de saúde, regeneram-se a si próprios, sempre que possível. Os cortes saram, os ossos voltam a crescer e por aí fora. De facto, cada dia milhões das nossas células morrem no decurso das suas funções. E são substituídas por novas células. Os nossos corpos conseguem por vezes até recuperar tecidos danificados, incluindo o próprio cérebro. No entanto, em certo ponto, os nossos corpos perdem a capacidade regenerativa. cerca dos 40 anos, deixamos de conseguir reparar células e processar toda a proteína das nossas células mortas. O medo da morte e o desejo de viver (jovens) para sempre, tem obcecado a humanidade desde os primórdios da nossa espécie. De uma forma ou doutra, temos procurado pela Fonte da Juventude, para nos tornarmos imortais eternamente jovens. Nos últimos cem a cento e cinquenta anos, a esperança de vida média das pessoas aumentou consideravelmente. O crédito vai principalmente para um melhor saneamento, antibióticos, melhores cuidados natais e infantis e um aumento do fornecimento alimentar. Removemos ou reduzimos dramaticamente as causas de morte infantil e adulta. Vivemos mais tempo porque mais de nós estão a chegar a uma idade avançada. No entanto chegados lá, as principais causas de mor

Pinta fuera de la raya
by Susan PickLa importancia de saber desobedecer En nuestra sociedad inculcamos que la obediencia es la principal virtud. En efecto, requerimos de una estructura, leyes y normas, éstas nos dan una buena base de la cual partir, para de allí volar. El problema empieza cuando nos atoramos en esa base, cuando no nos atrevemos a analizar ni a decidir, cuando creemos que obedecer ciegamente y quedar bien con los demás es lo más importante. Pinta fuera de la raya muestra con gran sentido del humor, la riqueza de atreverse a desobedecer. La crítica ha dicho: "Por un mundo lleno de Susans, que no sólo pinta fuera de la raya sino que inspira a otros a hacerlo." Sofía Niño de Rivera "Yo me atreví a desobedecer y a salirme de la raya, gracias a ello soy libre y crecí al romper con los viejos patrones." Francisco Martín Moreno, escritor "Pinta fuera de la raya me recordó los momentos en quehe sido más libre y feliz... cuando dejé de obedecer y ser impecable, cuando me atreví a dejar los miedos y a realizar mis sueños." Érica Beltrán, una de sólo siete mexicanas que han atravesado nadando el Estrecho de Gibraltar de Europa a África. "Pinta fuera de la raya es una interesante reflexión sobre el principio fundamental: la libertad. Libertad de escoger cuándo y cómo crear, de saber dónde queda la raya y cómo pasar de un lado al otro libremente." Alex Venguer, ingeniero/productor, ganador de tres Grammy y películas ganadoras al Óscar.
