Managing ADHD Workbook for Women

Kodo Nishimura

Kodo Nishimura ist ein buddhistischer Mönch aus einer langen Linie japanischer Mönche. Und er ist LGBTQIA*-Aktivist sowie international bekannter Makeup-Artist. Er verbringt sein Leben zwischen einem Kloster in Tokio und den Fashion-Shows dieser Welt. An einem Tag trägt er traditionelle Mönchsgewänder und am nächsten glitzernde High Heels. Er ist stolz auf seine buddhistischen Wurzeln, seine Sexualität und seine Leidenschaft für Mode und Make-Up. Doch das war nicht immer so. Nishimura versteckt sein wahres Selbst viele Jahre vor seinen Lehrer:innen und Freund:innen. Erst, als er mit Mitte 20 nach New York geht, wo die LGBTQIA*-Gemeinde größer und offener ist, legt er seine Maske ab und wird glücklich.

Wieder zurück in Japan, beginnt er seine Mönchs-Ausbildung und inspiriert viele Menschen in den verschiedensten Medien. In seinem Ratgeber erklärt er, wie wir zu uns stehen können, ohne uns für unsere Sexualität, Meinung, Träume und Ängste schämen zu müssen. Dabei erzählt Nishimura, wie ihm der Buddhismus geholfen hat, seinen Weg zu finden. Er möchte den Menschen näherbringen, dass die Essenz der buddhistischen Lehren für Gleichberechtigung steht. Dank praktischer Alltagsübungen, Meditationen und inspirierenden Anekdoten zeigt Nishimura einen heilenden Weg voller Harmonie und Selbstliebe.

Mit einem extra Vorwort für die deutsche Ausgabe.

Tantor Media presents a collection of some of the most popular Christmas stories read by award-winning narrators Renee Raudman and Alan Sklar. This special anthology will transport listeners back to the Christmases of their youth, when they first heard these holiday tales. From "'Twas the Night Before Christmas", Clement C. Moore's classic depiction of St. Nicholas at work, to O. Henry's "The Gift of the Magi", which embodies the very spirit of Christmas, Favorite Stories of Christmas Past has something for everyone.

Also included is Francis Church's moving editorial response to a little girl's Christmastime query, "Yes, Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus", as well as seven other Christmas classics that can be heard and shared year after year.

The classics that can be found in Favorite Stories of Christmas Past are: "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" by Clement C. Moore; "The Story of Christmas" by Nora A. Smith; "A Country Christmas" by Louisa May Alcott; "An Empty Purse" by Sarah Orne Jewett; "The Bachelor's Christmas" by Robert Grant; "The Fir Tree" by Hans Christian Andersen; "The Birds' Christmas Carol" by Kate Douglas Wiggin; "Yes Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus" by Francis Church; "The Festival of St. Nicholas" by Mary Mapes Dodge; and "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry.

Optical materials with large values of non-linear susceptibilities and fast responses are in great demand in industrial applications, such as non-linear optical switching devices for use in photonics and real-time coherent optical signal processors, optical limiters, and so on. In general, many applications of non-linear optics that have been demonstrated under controlled laboratory conditions could become practical for technological uses if such materials were available. It is usually believed that an effective enhanced non-linear optical response can appear in a composite material in which at least one component should possess an inherent non-linear optical response. Thus, the common way to develop new non-linear optical materials is to seek materials in which the components possess an inherently large non-linear optical response. In contrast, the author has theoretically exploited some new non-linear optical materials, e.g., colloidal nanocrystals with strong lattice effects, metallic films with inhomogeneous microstructures adjusted by ion doping or temperature gradient, composites of graded (and/or shape-anisotropic) nanoparticles, etc. The proposed materials are difficult or impossible to achieve with conventional, naturally occurring materials or random composites widely discussed in the literature. This book presents a first-hand review of the latest developments in this field.
