Mayan Calendar Prophecies: The Complete Collection of 2012 Predictions and Prophecies
by Gary C. Daniels
English | 2012 | ISBN: B009KZGUTQ | RebourneCommunications.com | 198 pages | pdf | 10 MB
Mayan prophecies and predictions about 2012 are a much overhyped and sensationalized topic. What authentic Mayan prophecies exist and what do these Mayan prophecies actually predict about the future? Mayan Calendar Prophecies takes a look at the science behind the Mayan prophecies, Mayan calendar, and Mayan mythology in order to pull back the curtain and reveal the truth about what the Mayan civilization believed would happen in the future.
Part 1 asks the question, "Do the Mayan prophecies really predict the end of the world on December 21, 2012?" If not, then what did the Mayan prophecies actually predict for 2012? And are these Mayan predictions "prophecies," i.e., the result of supernatural visions received by shamans or something closer to scientific forecasts based on observed patterns of repeating cycles discovered by their best and brightest minds?
The ancient Maya believed that civilizations went through predictable cycles. These cycles repeated every 256 years. The Maya had prophecies or predictions for each of these cycles. These predictions were recorded in their prophetic books known as the Chilam Balam.
The Mayan prophetic books of Chilam Balam utilized past events to predict future events. Mayan "prophets" did not simply receive visions and make random predictions. Instead they created a careful analytical system that looked for patterns in past historical events that took place in previous eras and then from these tried to make projections into the future. In fact, this analytical system was very similar to modern scientific forecasting.
This book is based on the idea that the Maya made predictions, not prophecies, based on careful observations of patterns including astronomical cycles as well as historical cycles of civilization. Just as human beings follow a predictable pattern of development from fetal development through childhood, adolescence and adulthood so, perhaps, do civilizations follow predictable patterns of development.
There are primarily two types of 2012 books and websites: "true believers" and "debunkers." This book offers a third approach, neither "true believer" nor "debunker," instead it approaches this subject the way a modern futurist would by looking at past events and comparing them to present-day realities in order to create the most probable scenarios and forecasts for the future. This book explores the science of cycle research and looks for naturalistic causes behind the Mayan predictions. Armed with this information, you can draw your own conclusions about the Mayan calendar and its predictions for 2012 and beyond.
Part 2 looks at the Mayan prophecies associated with the return of a green "sky serpent" know as Kukulkan that was associated with mega-disasters here on Earth especially floods and severe weather. Interestingly, in August 2004 a new green comet was discovered and named Comet Machholz. Since the return and discovery of Comet Machholz in August 2004 Earth has experienced some of the most severe storms and earthquakes in recorded history. Some of the most severe space weather including the most powerful solar flares and gamma ray bursts in recorded history also occurred since 2004. That year also had the most naked-eye visible comets ever recorded which suggests an increase in the amount of space debris entering the solar system thereby increasing the odds of an impact with Earth. It was also in 2004 that NASA scientists discovered the asteroid Apophis was on a collision course with Earth.
Is this all a coincidence or are these events part of a natural, predictable cycle that happens every 12,500 years and just so happens to correspond with the orbit of Comet Machholz? Were the ancient Maya aware of this cycle and did they encode it in their myths about the return of Kukulkan, a green sky serpent that devours humans, as a warning and a visible sign post in the heavens to alert when the next age of catastrophes would begin?

The Wisdom of the Bullfrog: Leadership Made Simple (But Not Easy)
by Admiral William H. McRaven
English | 2023 | ISBN: B0B8YX2GTB | Grand Central Publishing | 321 pages | epub | 421 KB
THE INSTANT #1 New York Times BESTSELLER
From the acclaimed, bestselling author of Make Your Bed -a short, inspirational book of advice and leadership lessons that Admiral McRaven collected over his four decades as a Navy SEAL.
The title "Bullfrog" is given to the Navy SEAL who has served the longest on active duty. Admiral McRaven was honored to receive this honor in 2011 when he took charge of the United States Special Operations Command. When McRaven retired in 2014, he had 37 years as a Navy SEAL under his belt, leading men and women at every level of the special operations community. In the ensuing four years, he served as Chancellor to the entire University of Texas System, with its 230,000 students and 100,000 faculty and health care workers.
During those four decades, Admiral McRaven dealt with every conceivable leadership challenge, from commanding combat operations-including the capture of Saddam Hussein, the rescue of Captain Phillips, and the raid for Osama bin Laden.
THE WISDOM OF THE BULLFROG draws on these and countless other experiences from Admiral McRaven's incredible life, including crisis situations, management debates, organizational transitions, and ethical dilemmas, to provide readers with the most important leadership lessons he has learned over the course of his forty years of service. Each chapter provides a Make Your Bed -like parable, rich with insights like those featured in his bestselling memoir, Sea Stories , about the specific leadership traits required to be at the top of your game, including: - Who Dares, Wins
- Run to the Sound of the Guns
- No Plan Survives First Contact with the Enemy
THE WISDOM OF THE BULLFROG is Admiral McRaven's clear-eyed treatise on the leadership qualities that separate the good from the truly great.

Why Humans Like to Cry: Tragedy, Evolution, and the Brain
by MICHAEL TRIMBLE
English | 2012 | ISBN: B009ZAGJLA | OUP Oxford; Reprint edition | 220 pages | pdf | 2 MB
Human beings are the only species to have evolved the trait of emotional crying. We weep at tragedies in our lives and in those of others - remarkably even when they are fictional characters in film, opera, music, novels, and theatre. Why have we developed art forms - most powerfully, music - which move us to sadness and tears? This question forms the backdrop to Michael Trimble's discussion of emotional crying, its physiology, and its evolutionary implications.
His exploration examines the connections with other distinctively human features: the development of language, self-consciousness, religious practices, and empathy. Neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of the brain have uncovered unique human characteristics; mirror neurones, for example, explain why we unconsciously imitate actions and behaviour. Whereas Nietzsche argued that artistic tragedy was born with the ancient Greeks, Trimble places its origins far earlier. His neurophysiological and evolutionary insights shed fascinating light onto this enigmatic part of our humanity.

Pen and Ink Witchcraft: Treaties and Treaty Making in American Indian History
by EDITED BY COLIN G. CA LLOWAY
English | 2013 | ISBN: 0199917302 | Oxford University Press; 1st edition | 348 pages | pdf | 3 MB
Indian peoples made some four hundred treaties with the United States between the American Revolution and 1871, when Congress prohibited them. They signed nine treaties with the Confederacy, as well as countless others over the centuries with Spain, France, Britain, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, Canada, and even Russia, not to mention individual colonies and states. In retrospect, the treaties seem like well-ordered steps on the path of dispossession and empire. The reality was far more complicated.
In Pen and Ink Witchcraft , eminent Native American historian Colin G. Calloway narrates the history of diplomacy between North American Indians and their imperial adversaries, particularly the United States. Treaties were cultural encounters and human dramas, each with its cast of characters and conflicting agendas. Many treaties, he notes, involved not land, but trade, friendship, and the resolution of disputes. Far from all being one-sided, they were negotiated on the Indians' cultural and geographical terrain. When the Mohawks welcomed Dutch traders in the early 1600s, they sealed a treaty of friendship with a wampum belt with parallel rows of purple beads, representing the parties traveling side-by-side, as equals, on the same river. But the American republic increasingly turned treaty-making into a tool of encroachment on Indian territory. Calloway traces this process by focusing on the treaties of Fort Stanwix (1768), New Echota (1835), and Medicine Lodge (1867), in addition to such events as the Peace of Montreal in 1701 and the treaties of Fort Laramie (1851 and 1868). His analysis demonstrates that native leaders were hardly dupes. The records of negotiations, he writes, show that "Indians frequently matched their colonizing counterparts in diplomatic savvy and tried, literally, to hold their ground."
Each treaty has its own story, Calloway writes, but together they tell a rich and complicated tale of moments in American history when civilizations collided.

Since the dawn of mankind, fire has been a staple of survival. Whether it is used to keep warm, cook food, or scare away predators, fire is an essential element, one that is almost impossible for humans to live without. But with society's current dependence on modern tools and technology, many persons would have no idea how to start a fire without matches or a lighter.

The book begins by covering the history and lore surrounding fire, and then moves on to describe, in detail, the four main methods through which fire is made: friction, the sun, electricity, and chemistry. Additional topics include: - How to make a fire in the rain
- The best locations to build a fire
- Safety precautions to take when around fire
- How to tend your fire
- How to make a signal fire
- Different ways to cook with fire
