Описание: Chronic stress, a factor in everyday life, leads to several dysfunctions of the mind and body, resulting in disorders ranging from addictions to cancers. We are now aware of the emotional brain, its role in brain biology, and the devastation it causes when it dysfunctions. "Your Happy Brain-Why and How to Hug it" presents specific and practical steps which combat stress and nurture the Insula, the emotional center in the brain. The book explains how the 5 senses, especially the sense of touch, reduces stress, prevents many psycho-social disorders, makes people happy, and improves the immune system. It is estimated that in a year, 25% of adults and 20% of children are diagnosed with a mental illness. These statistics make mental illness the third leading health-care problem, affecting all ages. An alarming number of young people are diagnosed with ADHD and addictions; while seniors often suffer from the many "proteinopathies" such as Parkinson's, dementia and Alzheimer's. Mental health statistics do not include social issues such as anger, divorce, truancy, and poor school performance which leads to student drop-out. Yet, as the book points out, all these may have a biological basis. The mental health topics may seem unrelated, but they are linked by the lack of arousal of "Touch Receptors" in the skin and the Insula. The book presents the biological basis for how the touch sensation reduces stress and helps the immune system. This information will hopefully inspire individuals and families to lead happy, fulfilled lives, and contribute towards a more content society with fewer mental health issues. Addiction is a vexing social problem. Nicotine, drugs and alcohol lead the list of chemical addictive agents. There are also behavioral addictions such as binge-eating and gambling, as well as compulsive disorders such as incessant texting, checking social media, and playing video games, etc. These addictions can lead to depression and suicide. The latter is the second most common cause of death in young adults. Behavioral troubles can have their roots in infancy, and the book discusses ways to nurture a child's brain at this critical period of life. Your Happy Brain describes how different parts of the brain can be modulated to work in concert, the factors that influence brain growth, and the vital role a positive childhood plays in lifelong happiness. Readers who will benefit from this book: - Work in the medical and allied-medical fields. - Are interested in behavioral issues, including those involved in criminal justice, law and order, and social work. - Are parents, grandparents and educators interested in understanding the maturation of the brain in children and teenagers. - Seek to improve balance in seniors and prevent common falls and hip fractures. - Recognize the biological effects of stress on humans. - Understanding student drop-out and behavioral issues. - Comprehend the biology of emotional distancing, which is a prelude to divorce. The authors take readers through brain biology and evolution, and provide well-labeled diagrams of relevant areas of the brain. Pictorial models are included to point out how various components of the brain work together, and how to maximize the synergy to produce a Happy Brain. In an easy-to-understand manner, the book describes brain development in general, and the emotional brain in particular. It presents information in a lucid and easy-to-read format, and takes the reader through the blue-print of how evolution designed our emotional and subconscious brain to function in a happy state of mind. The non-medical reader will gain insight into the serious social and medical problems we face today, especially the potential neurological issues we create for ourselves. Some of the biological basis for our common social practices will provide the reader with an "Aha Now I understand " moment. More information on the book is available at yourhappy

Описание:
Was Joan of Arc a lesbian or transgender person?
Within the Catholic Church, there are divergent opinions about the contributions that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons can make with regard to the spiritual growth of the Church. Many members of the Church feel either hopeful or dismayed by the outreach Pope Francis has expressed toward the LGBT community.
Historians have criticized writers such as Vita Sackville-West (1892-1962) for implying Joan was a lesbian and cross-dresser (transgender person). What has changed?
Sackville-West's biography of Joan, Saint Joan of Arc, was published in 1936. Historians correctly noted that bedding was relatively scarce in the 15th century, and sleeping in the same bed cannot be construed as evidence of sexual intimacy.
Historians addressed claims of cross-dressing by stating the need for Joan to protect herself from sexual assault in prison as well as the need to dress in men's clothes during military operations. While both of those arguments are true, they neglect to address other evidence, which in its entirety, clearly makes it reasonable to conclude Joan was a lesbian and a transgender person.
Marguerite la Touroulde, widow of REnE de Bouligny, advisor to the king, testified the two women shared a bed nearly every day for three weeks. While that statement cannot be construed as evidence of sexual intimacy, Touroulde also testified, "I saw her several times in the bath and in the hot-room, and so far as I could see I believe that she was a virgin." (Pernoud, 2007, The Retrial of Joan of Arc)
That quoted portion of Touroulde's testimony is conspicuously omitted from a popular English translation that has been republished and replicated numerous times on the web. The incomplete text, translated and edited by T. Douglas Murray and published in 1902 under the title, Jeanne D' Arc, Maid Of Orleans, Deliverer Of France, claims: "The official Latin text of the Trial and Rehabilitation of Jeanne d'Arc, rescued from oblivion among the archives of France, and published in the forties 1840s] by Quicherat, has been faithfully, and now for the first time, rendered into English." Ironically, Murray's decision to omit that single sentence from Touroulde's testimony speaks volumes.
Some historians have countered that because Touroulde said Joan "was a virgin" that this also implied an absence of sexual intimacy with women, but that assertion isn't supported by other evidence in the trial transcripts.
Regarding evidence that Joan was a transgender person, many of Joan's statements during her trial reveal an extreme level of reluctance to give up wearing men's clothes, even temporarily, so that she could attend Mass and receive Holy Communion. If her sole reason for wearing men's clothes was to help protect herself from sexual abuse at the hands of her English jailers, she would have no reason to refuse women's clothes for the purpose of going to Mass, especially considering how important Mass was for Joan.
In this book, Sanguinetti's Trial Transcripts were translated and edited solely for readability in modern English, and no attempt was made to use language or the editing process as a means to support or refute various opinions about the sexuality and gender identity of Joan of Arc, the history of the Catholic Church, or the origin of Joan's "Voices."

Описание:
The refusal or reception of refugees has had serious implications for the social policies and social realities of numerous countries in east and west. Exploring experiences, interpretations and practices of 'refugees, ' 'the internally displaced' and 'returnees' in or emerging from societies in violent conflict, this volume challenges prevailing orthodoxies and encourages new developments in refugee studies. It also addresses the ethics and politics of interventions by professionals and policy makers, using case studies of refugees from or in South Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, Europe and the Americas. These illustrate the dynamic nature of situations where refugees, policy- makers and practitioners interact in trying to construct new livelihoods in transforming societies.
Without a proper understanding of this dynamic nature, so the volume argues overall, it is not possible to develop successful strategies for the accommodation and integration of refugees.
