I am so tired of Christmas I wish there never would be another one!' exclaimed a discontented-looking little girl, as she sat idly watching her mother arrange a pile of gifts two days before they were to be given. 'Why, Effie, what a dreadful thing to say! You are as bad as old Scrooge; and I'm afraid something will happen to you, as it did to him, if you don't care for dear Christmas,' answered mamma, almost dropping the silver horn she was filling with delicious candies...

The Old Bachelor is Heartwell, a surly old pretended woman-hater, who falls in love with Silvia, not knowing her to be the forsaken mistress of Vainlove, and is lured into marrying her, only discovering her true character afterwards, from the gibes of his acquaintances. The parson who has been brought in to marry them, however, is in fact Vainlove's friend Belmour, who has assumed the disguise for the purpose of an intrigue with Laetitia, the young wife of an uxorious old banker, Fondlewife; and Heartwell is relieved to discover that the marriage was a pretence.

Oscar Wilde's is most famous for his satirical plays which he wrote at the time of great literary enlightenment, when all Britons were able to embrace literature previously only available to the wealthy and educated.

The Yogi Philosophy may be divided into several great branches, or fields. What is known as "Hatha Yoga" deals with the physical body and its control; its welfare; its health; its preservation; its laws, etc. What is known as "Raja Yoga" deals with the Mind; its control; its development; its unfoldment, etc. What is known as "Bhakti Yoga" deals with the Love of the Absolute—God. What is known as "Gnani Yoga" deals with the scientific and intellectual knowing of the great questions regarding Life and what lies back of Life—the Riddle of the Universe.??Each branch of Yoga is but a path leading toward the one end—unfoldment, development, and growth. He who wishes first to develop, control and strengthen his physical body so as to render it a fit instrument of the Higher Self, follows the path of "Hatha Yoga." He who would develop his will-power and mental faculties, unfolding the inner senses, and latent powers, follows the path of "Raja Yoga." He who wishes to develop by "knowing"—by studying the fundamental principles, and the wonderful truths underlying Life, follows the path of "Gnani Yoga." ??And he who wishes to grow into a union with the One Life by the influence of Love, he follows the path of "Bhakti Yoga."??But it must not be supposed that the student must ally himself to only a single one of these paths to power. In fact, very few do. The majority prefer to gain a rounded knowledge, and acquaint themselves with the principles of the several branches, learning something of each, giving preference of course to those branches that appeal to them more strongly, this attraction being the indication of need, or requirement, and, therefore, being the hand pointing out the path.

El ayuno no se trata de tener hambre, y ciertamente no se trata de morir de hambre. El ayuno se trata de cambiar su vida para que pueda hacer más con menos tiempo. El ayuno consiste en sobrecargar los sistemas de regeneración de tu cuerpo y lucir más joven. Se trata de alterar su mente y trazar un curso hacia adelante que resulte en la capacidad de convertirlo en una nueva disciplina y claridad.Puede considerar ayunar con el propósito de perder peso, pero obtendrá mucho más. Si tiene sobrepeso, entonces su cuerpo le está diciendo algo. Le está diciendo que su cuerpo está en peligro. Está sobrecargado de trabajo y no está quemando tantas calorias como debería. Debe prestar atención a esa advertencia. Debe revertir el da?o que se está infligiendo en el cuerpo debido a las malas decisiones nutricionales.Este libro le muestra los beneficios que puede esperar y traza una guia del día a día, de qué hacer y qué esperar cuando hace un ayuno completo y simplemente sale adelante con agua. Lo que es más importante que los días de ayuno, y cuántos días lo puede hacer, es la preparación previa para el ayuno y la devolución del ayuno a los alimentos.Este libro lo guía meticulosamente de un paso al siguiente en la preparación de días antes de ayunar para que obtenga el mayor beneficio de él, y le muestra cómo romper el ayuno para que no estrese su sistema digestivo después de días de ayuno.?

Originally published in 1915 to help raise funds for the campaign for the vote for women. History and fun all in one book! This new edition includes vintage illustrations and short biographies of many of the contributors as well as a new endnote by award-winning writer Cheryl Robson, which places the book both in its historical and contemporary contexts. Authors Mrs L.O.Kleber (compiler) Born in Freeport, Pa on April 4th,1867, she moved to Pittsburgh where she lived for 40 years and was often referred to as Pittsburg's 'most interesting woman'. She devoted herself to public works and was years ahead of her time, organising food relief and garden projects in the city's slum districts. Initially opposed to women having the vote,she was converted to the suffrage cause by Mrs Henry Villard, the daughter of William Lloyd Garrison, a famous slavery abolitionist. She wrote to many famous men and women to collect the recipes for The Suffrage Cookbook which she published in 1915 to raise funds for the suffrage cause. Theodore Roosevelt was the only man who failed to send a recipe, claiming that he was too busy to do so. Following the success of the campaign for the vote in 1920, she became the director of the Allegheny County League of Women Voters. She died on April 4, 1939, aged 72 at her home at 1135 Murrayhill Avenue, Pittsburgh. Cheryl Robson (editor of new edition and author of afterword) Cheryl is the founder of Aurora Metro Books. She has won numerous awards for her plays, books and films. She decided to revise and re-publish Kleber's 1915 Suffrage Cookbook to coincide with a touring exhibition that she had produced about the suffragists' campaign for the vote in the UK. Titled 'How the Vote was Won', the exhibition toured to libraries, museums and theatres in southeast England in 2018, the centenary of some women gaining the right to vote in the UK. You can watch a video about the project here.?https://vimeo.com/276278481 Reviews “It’s a fabulous historical document of its time but also an interesting cook book to boot, interspersed as it is with line drawings and including letters to the editor – or Editress as she is described? in the contents section of the book.?Recipes aside this is a great gift idea. It’s both practical and fascinating on so many levels and I’ll be trying out more of the recipes over time. A unique way to celebrate the centenary of women getting the vote.” –?Frost Magazine “Great fun for cooks.”?***** – Robert Armin, Amazon “The recipes in the compilation run the gamut from simple soups to fish (Virginia fried oysters and ‘shrimp wriggle’ both make the cut), meat (the baked ham à la Miller is described as “a dish fit for the greatest epicure”), breads and puddings, the latter section incorporating a series of “admonitions” directed at “those who would excel in cake making”. As the writer Cheryl Robson observes in her endnote, “most of the contributors to this cookbook are long-forgotten but their legacy survives today in the spirit of social activism that inspires others to work for a better, fairer world”.? ?– Town and Country Magazine “Giving Jamie Oliver and Nigella Lawson a run for their money, the cookbook includes a wide range of soups, salads and casseroles. Drinks also feature, from the “Peppermint Cup” to a wide selection of “Albuminous Beverages” (“When a large amount of nutriment is required the albuminized drinks are valuable. The egg is a fluid food until its albumen is coagulated by heat.”)? Kleber, however, writes in her foreword to the book that “as it is a serious matter what is put into the human stomach, I feel it incumbent to say that my readers may safely eat everything set down in this book”. She does add that, while she has tested most of the recipes herself, “it being a human Cook Book there will likely be some errors, but as correcting errors is the chief duty and occupation of Suffrage?Women, I shall accept gratefully whatever criticisms these good women may h
