«This is a very good argument, with impressive detail, clear structure, and vehement commitment.»(M. McEldowney, Emeritus Professor of Planning) This book provides a post-Covid recovery strategy for the UK that is based on all aspects of health, but also addresses the ever-greater threat from global warming. Health and sustainability are interlocked.More than other European nations, we favour libertarian values over social equity, privatized public services and lower taxes that reduce those services. From fair-minded pragmatism, we have descended into dogma, incompetence and intolerance.Using the government's 5 guiding principles for a sustainable future, the book suggests how to improve distinct aspects of health:personal health through more preventive medicine;environmental health with lower transport and household emissions;economic health through local (rather than global) production of goods and services;social health by reducing gross health and wealth inequalities; andpolitical health through strategic commitment, fair taxes (a bedroom tax just on the poor?) and real devolution to local councils.We need to think local, act local and act now.

David A. Williams Jr. has always had a creative and entrepreneurial mind, and growing up, he became more attached to writing. His relationship with God shows in his work, not neglecting the fact that we are all human. In "Words of a Troubled Soul," David mirrors his feelings and takes on life through his work. This book starts like David's life: rough, dark, and hopeless. You'll notice some helpful sayings and quotes as you continue to read. As you reach the book's climax, you'll see his writings become brighter and more hopeful. David wanted this introduction of the series to show that it's okay to think and feel how you do. So for him, he kept God in the midst of the light and the dark times. The last thing he mentioned was that there are many troubled souls in this world, and he wants to put the brave ones in this series.

Essay from the year 2015 in the subject Engineering - Robotics, , language: English, abstract: The Department of Transportation recently announced that it intends to impose a registration system for drones (LINK 1). Drones (scientific name unmanned aerial vehicles) are aircraft that do not need a human pilot on board. Their flight is monitored remotely from the ground or via computers embedded on the vehicle. Previously restricted to military operations, these vehicles are increasingly finding applications in the civilian world¿firefighting, policing, commerce, research and monitoring etc. According to the secretary, registration will stress the need for drone operators and hobbyists to observe safe flight practices and apply airspace rules (LINK 2). This announcement is a clear indication of just how profound drones are influencing and will continue to impact our lives. In this article, I present ten ways through which drones are shaping our future.

Devotion to the Five Wounds of Jesus has long been one of the most popular forms of Catholic spirituality. David Williams traces the roots of this devotion in Holy Scripture: the words of the prophets foretell the suffering Christ, while the New Testament witnesses to the victorious scars borne by the risen Lord. The Sacred Wounds of Jesus remained a persistent theme in the writings of the Desert Fathers and Doctors of the Church, a theme that was to be more fully developed in the devotional practice of the mediaeval period and on into modern times.Detailing the several forms devotion to the Five Wounds has taken (both mediaeval and modern) - in art, liturgy and poetry - David Williams recalls those holy people favoured by visons of the suffering Lord, as well as those who themselves came to bear the stigmata of Christ. He outlines the history of devotion to the specific wound in the Side - later seen as the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and describes the 'gift of tears' given to some from their reflection upon the Passion of their Master.David Williams is the author of The Cistercians on the Early Middle Ages and The Welsh Cistercians, both published by Gracewing.
