This book contains a revolutionary new system for Past-Life Regression and Imagery Therapy called The IRE Approach(TM). Learn inductions, deepening techniques, how to facilitate past-life regression therapy sessions and imagery sessions and other crucial hypnotherapy techniques. This book is a MUST HAVE for therapists I. R. E. stands for "Imaginative Role-Enactment". This is a complete hypnotherapy system created by Certified Master Hypnotist Christopher S. Harris. "Most Past-Life Regression Therapists are approaching the technique as true to life - They will tell you that they are actually taking you back to a time that you have lived before. But The IRE Approach(TM) does not assume that you believe in Past-Lives and we do not propose that that is what we are doing. The IRE Approach(TM) treats Past-Life Regression as Imaginative Role-Enactment and so the topic of "reincarnation" and the risk of conflicting with the client's belief system is never an issue. This approach is a Godsend to hypnotherapists specializing in Past-Life Regression therapy because now by framing the procedure in a different way it is accessible for use with every client. You are no longer forced to use a modality that you think is less-effective for the client's particular issue just because your chosen technique is controversial. Unlike what many therapists believe, the value of PLR isn't in going back to real past lives. The value is rekindling the very nature of humanity What do I mean by this? I believe that imagination is one of the fundamental parts of being human - Every one of us is born with the innate ability to imagine, play, and pretend. But what happens to children that play with imaginary friends? We are discouraged from play and imaginary social interactions to the point that it becomes so deeply repressed that it takes intensive therapy to uncover what fragments remain. This is so sad if you think about it. We have buried our inner child until barely any remains. We have cut off a mental limb. Allowing a place with no judgment or ridicule and actually encouraging the redevelopment of imagination has always been the true value of PLR, whether the practitioners knew it or not. It is this Imaginative Role-Enactment that we consider to be our client's biggest tool for self-discovery in The IRE Approach(TM)".

Bergenserne har alltid vært kjent for sin patriotisme. Denne patriotismen har fått utløp blant annet gjennom det utall av sanger som opp gjennom årene er skrevet til byens pris. Man har sunget om byens syv fjell, om Puddefjorden og Vågen, om Fjellveien og Fisketorget, om smitt og smau, om buekorps og buekorpsgutter, om rævediltere, kjuagutter, madammer og småtøser. Og tro det eller ei - det kommer stadig nye sanger til. Så stor er denne floraen av bergenssanger at det på langt nær var mulig å få med det som burde vært med i bind 1 av "Bergenssangene - og andre musikalske fenomen" - utgitt i 2006. - Og la det være sagt med en gang - vi er heller ikke i mål når nå bind 2 foreligger. Noe av forklaringen på dette finner vi i de to sangbøkenes undertitler; "- en sangbok som kan leses" og "- mer enn en sangbok". Dette er sannelig mer enn en sangbok, og en sangbok som absolutt bør leses. De allmenne bergenssangene utgjør den største delen av sangene i denne sangboken også, med ekstra fokus på "Paraply og -regn-værsviser", "Bergensbrannen i 1916", "Tyske flåtebesøk", "Bymann og stril" og ikke minst "Brann - hele Bergens stolthet". Av andre emner kan nevnes "Fra de skrå bredder til evig liv som bergenssang" og "Musikalske tradisjoner som er forsvunnet".

Public Lives, Private Virtues surveys portraits of American Revolutionary heroes in books, magazines, and school texts from 1782 to 1832 and relates these sketches to cultural changes of the period. Faced with rapid and sometimes unsettling change, historians, biographers, and editors of period offered their readers narrative and visual portraits of heroes, hoping to promote classical civic virtues during a time when business-minded Americans increasingly pursued individual gain. The fifty years following the Revolution saw biography shift from historical narration to description of private experience. The most interesting of the biographers, Mason Locke Weems, created an original life of Washington, adapting his style to the needs of book buyers, who were put off by the cost of conventional histories and attracted to the books' entertaining stories. During this period magazine editors in the mid-Atlantic and New England states occasionally wrote sketches of heroes to provide readers examples of virtue, but their major contribution was to publish original graphic portraits. Some magazine illustrators copied portraits by American painters; others fashioned elaborate allegorical pieces. Brief narratives of Revolutionary heroes met the needs of the growing number of New England schoolbook authors especially well. By reading descriptions of the war's heroes and their adventures, authors believed children would learn virtue as well as rhetorical skills. In all their forms during this period, narratives and portraits of Revolutionary heroes extolled classical virtues even though the rise of commerce and Americans' pursuit of individual wealth made these virtues anachronistic.

This is an analysis of the 1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments, the successor to the 1976 Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and, perhaps, the most important environmental law of the past decade and a half. This highly readable, policy-oriented manual interprets and explains the Amendments, as well as their intended and unintended side effects. It shows how the new legislation broadened the size of the regulated community, explains the new responsibilities for polluters not previously covered by the law, and outlines the new, more stringent requirements concerning every aspect of hazardous and solid waste management.
