Five years in the Polish wilderness. Queues for groceries, unfathomable bus timetables, inexplicable traditions and truly bizarre soup this is Poland in the mid-1990s, where Tom Galvin innocently went as a trainee teacher. Without a word of Polish, he is plunged into a strange and rapidly changing culture, as the country shakes off its troubled and complex past and faces the challenges of being a part of modern Europe. Tom spent five years dealing with long and freezing winters, lack of good food, loneliness and hardship, as he discovered the misery as well as the joy of Polish life. He returned in 2007, to find surprising changes to the country that had been his home for the first years of his working life. An interesting and amusing account of living and working abroad, which documents a unique period of Polish history.

Since the advent of sport, athletes have worked to gain an edge on their competition-to look, feel, and perform their best-through both training and nutrition. Today, science is increasingly showing the negative impact that gluten, a protein in wheat, barley, and rye, can have on health. For the estimated 30 million Americans with forms of gluten intolerance, such as celiac disease, this all-too-common protein can cause gastrointestinal trouble, inflammation, muscle fatigue, and mental fog that hinder an active lifestyle and negatively impact athletic performance. The solution: a whole-foods, nutrient-dense gluten-free diet. Others who voluntarily eat gluten-free can also discover an edge they never knew was missing: faster recovery, reduced inflammation, improved digestion, and increased athletic performance. The Gluten-Free Edge is the first comprehensive resource that includes: What gluten is and how it negatively impacts health and athletic performance The myriad benefits of adopting a gluten-free nutrition plan What to eat during training, competition, and recovery How to deal with group meals, eating on the road, and getting "glutened" Insights from prominent athletes already living the gluten-free edge And 50 simple, high-octane recipes to fuel your performance Whether you've been diagnosed with gluten intolerance or simply want to get ahead of the competition, this book is for you. Your own gluten-free edge is waiting.

Approximately 25 percent of otherwise normally developing young children experience feeding difficulties. These may not only be disruptive to the child's physical and emotional development, they also may affect the whole family. In When Your Child Won't Eat or Eats Too Much, author Dr. Irene Chatoor teaches parents how to navigate the challenges of early feeding development and help their children establish healthy eating habits. Based on clinical experiences and research studies, Chatoor helps you understand your child's specific feeding problems-whether your child has difficulty feeling hunger, has difficulty determining fullness, refuses to eat certain foods, or is just plain scared to eat. When Your Child Won't Eat or Eats Too Much presents specific suggestions and practical tips on how to understand and manage each of these feeding problems while promoting a healthy eating environment for the whole family. It also describes how feeding difficulties can be prevented and how discipline can be established without resorting to coercive measures. Chatoor, a pediatric psychiatrist who has made fundamental contributions in her field, helps parents better understand and deal with the challenges of early feeding development and the special feeding issues of their children.

A survivor, an overcomer, a victor who finally knows what victory tastes like. Oh yes, she finally put together the broken pieces of her life and walked into the light at the end of the tunnel. A light that led her out of a lifestyle of selfdestruction, self-hatred, and self-pity. Early in life, she was dealt a bum hand-forced to deal with traumatic life events over which she had no control and which she was much too young to cope with: When she was three, her father died suddenly. At the age of nine, she was raped and sexually exploited-her innocence robbed, stolen, forever gone. At seventeen, she was raped by her manager at a food restaurant. Emotionally ravaged, she felt dirty, damaged, and isolated. Angry and bitter, she turned on herself, blaming herself, feeling guilt and shame-sharing her feelings with no one. To mask the pain, she numbed herself with alcohol and drugs. In search of peace from the storm that raged within, she attempted suicide on three occasions, one of which almost proved fatal. She become involved in mentally, emotionally, physically abusive relationships in her search for true love. Her direction in life was always down until she looked up to a Savior named Jesus. Jesus was the light she walked toward at the end of the tunnel. Through him, she realized the hand life dealt her no longer had the power to destroy her. What were meant to be stumbling blocks eventually became stepping stones to a purpose and a mission to reach back and pull up women undergoing similar struggles. ~Christine Hill~ Sister The Desires of Thine Heart is a testimony of triumph. Felecia is a shining example of what God will do for you if you hold on and make it through the storms. God does have a plan for you!

In Why Corporation 2020? Pavan Sukhdev examines the many critical planetary boundaries that we are approaching, from greenhouse gas emissions to the nitrogen cycle, freshwater and land use, and food security, and argues that sweeping changes are needed to reform the way we deal with the earth's resources. Sukhdev makes an arresting case for including the private sector in these changes, arguing that a new corporate model is needed in the next decade to avert irreparable ecological harm.

The little bayou town of Alcide, Louisiana, nicknamed "Fort St. Jesus," is flavored just right with good people, good times and good food. But on one strange weekend in September, the good people become the good food. Something big, weird and hungry is out there, and deputy sheriff Lexie Smith is on the case. Helping her are her old high-school buddies: Cam DeSelle, local vet and bait-store owner; Troy Pitre, the town's mechanic; sex-toy saleslady Carla Fontanelli; and young Father Mike and Sister Joanie, Alcide's source of spiritual strength and juicy gossip. Adding to Lexie's worries are some meth-dealing gangbangers in town for a big drug deal and a category 3 hurricane bearing down on all of them. They're just a few of the ingredients that'll be thrown into the pot for one memorable get together at Fort St. Jesus Bait and Tackle. Who's the bait and who's the tackle? Who will eat and who will be eaten?

Well, here I am with four kids now, and I can tell you it does get better. What you're going through isn't what things will always be like. Don't let anyone, especially yourself, make you feel guilty for doing something for yourself."Get up 30 minutes earlier than everyone else and make it clear to everyone in the house that this is your time."As long as your baby has food in her belly, clothes on her back, and is not overly wet, then that time is yours.

This novel is about a crooked health department and is certainly a one of a kind novel. I don't believe there has ever been a novel about a crooked health department before the creation of this novel. Some of it is reality based. A retired Naval Intelligence Officer (Ty Ambrose) takes a job as a health inspector at the local health department. He finds corruption running from within the political arena all the way down to the county health inspector. Corruption and pay-offs from food service inspections to septic tank approvals run rampant! Being an ex-Naval Intelligence Officer, Ty decides to stay with the job and learn as much about the corruption as possible. Then, with evidence in hand, he planned to notify the proper authorities about the corruption. Eventually, Ty learns the corruption extends all the way out to the Military Base and gets Naval Intelligence in on the game. The plot thickens as he finds out about the Director and a few of the employees are dealing in drugs with a local mobster. There are some morbid murders and kinky sex scenes in the novel. The morbid perversion is just part of the total picture of the corrupt and demented Department of Health Inspections.

The origins of 'How to Make a Garden Grow' lie in an article in 'The Strand' Magazine called 'A Highly Complicated Science'. The science referred to was that of gardening and the article by K.R.G. Browne was accompanied by nine of Heath Robinson's drawings, all of which were subsequently used in their book for the How To. series. Much of the subject matter for this book was drawn from Heath Robinson's earlier cartoons. For example, among his earliest work for 'The Sketch' was a series of drawings on the practicalities of gardening. This included a picture of 'root pruning' showing the gardener tunnelling down to the roots of a plant to prune them. Although the earlier drawing is much more elaborate, the idea is the same as that presented in 'How to Make a Garden Grow'.Gardening was a very popular hobby in the 1930s. It was a good way to save on food bills, start-up costs were low and the work was healthy - all concerns for the British during the depression years. Heath Robinson's satirical cartoons and K.R.G. Browne's humorous text gently poke fun at contemporary gardeners and their foibles and furbelows. We see design schemes for gardens to suit all types of gardeners, concerned gardeners diligently tending a sick plant and ideas for games that can be played at garden parties. Above all though are the wonderful Heath Robinson gadgets, doohickeys and gizmos designed to help the earnest gardener deal with the many challenges of gardening. How do you avoid spraying the neighbours when trying to get rid of greenfly? What is the best way to trap earwigs or to keep cats off your vegetable patch? Heath Robinson has the answer. Heath Robinson and Browne don't claim to be gardening experts but in 'How to Make a Garden Grow', as in all the How to. books, they have expertly captured both the spirit of their time and the essence of what it was (and in many ways still is) to be British. Look no further for advice on gardening - this book has it all neatly summed up i.

Brown Sugar Kitchen is more than a restaurant. This soul-food outpost is a community gathering spot, a place to fill the belly, and the beating heart of West Oakland, a storied postindustrial neighborhood across the bay from San Francisco. The restaurant is a friendly beacon on a tree-lined parkway, nestled low and snug next to a scrap-metal yard in this Bay Area rust belt. Out front, customers congregate on long benches and sprawl in the grass, soaking up the sunshine, sipping at steaming mugs of Oakland-roasted coffee, waiting to snag one of the tables they glimpse through the swinging doors. Deals are done, friends are made; this is a community in action. In short order, they'll get their table, their pecan-studded sticky buns, their meaty hash topped with a quivering poached egg. Later in the day, the line grows, and the orders for chef-owner Tanya Holland's famous chicken and waffles or oyster po'boy fly. This is when satisfaction arrives. Brown Sugar Kitchen, the cookbook, stars 86 recipes for re-creating the restaurant's favorites at home, from a thick Shrimp Gumbo to celebrated Macaroni & Cheese to a show-stopping Caramel Layer Cake with Brown Butter-Caramel Frosting. And these aren't all stick-to-your-ribs recipes: Tanya's interpretations of soul food star locally grown, seasonal produce, too, in crisp, creative salads such as Romaine with Spring Vegetables & Cucumber-Buttermilk Dressing and Summer Squash Succotash. Soul-food classics get a modern spin in the case of B-Side BBQ Braised Smoked Tofu with Roasted Eggplant and a side of Roasted Green Beans with Sesame-Seed Dressing. Straight-forward, unfussy but inspired, these are recipes you'll turn to again and again. Rich visual storytelling reveals the food and the people that made and make West Oakland what it is today. Brown Sugar Kitchen truly captures the sense-and flavor-of this richly textured and delicious place.

In its decades-long effort to assure the safety, efficacy, and security of medicines and other products, the Food and Drug Administration has struggled with issues of funding, proper associations with industry, and the balance between consumer choice and consumer protection. Today, these challenges are compounded by the pressures of globalization, the introduction of novel technologies, and fast-evolving threats to public health. With essays by leading scholars and government and private industry experts, FDA in the Twenty-First Century addresses perennial and new problems and the improvements the agency can make to better serve the public good. The collection features essays on effective regulation in an era of globalization, consumer empowerment, and comparative effectiveness, as well as questions of data transparency, conflicts of interest, industry responsibility, and innovation policy, all with an emphasis on pharmaceuticals. The book also intervenes in the debate over off-label drug marketing and the proper role of the FDA before and after a drug goes on the market. Dealing honestly and thoroughly with the FDA's successes and failures, contributors rethink the structure, function, and future of the agency and the effect policy innovations may have on regulatory institutions in other countries.
