Following the simple plans in Lights On will ensure that you are safe and secure during widespread long-term power outages.
The US electric grid is at greater risk today than ever before. From aging infrastructure, severe weather, and EPA mandated closure of coal-fired power plants to solar storms, digital sabotage, terrorism, and electromagnetic pulse attacks, future outages are almost certain. And they will likely last far longer and cover much larger areas than anything experienced in the past. When the grid is down and you run out of fuel for your generator, and all the stores are closed, then what?
Lights On: The Non-Technical Guide to Battery Power when the Grid Goes Down has the solution. Energy expert Jeffrey Yago lays out the lost history of early residential battery power and delves into just how durable and universal battery-powered devices are. Battery-powered devices can provide lighting, communications, refrigeration, safety, and entertainment when all else fails. Yago covers the multiple ways to keep your batteries recharged and ready to go.
There are many books and magazines on emergency preparedness, survival, solar power, and disaster planning, which show strong public interest in these topics. However, many offer brief introductions to each topic. Lights On provides easy-to-understand detailed information on having a plan of action for setting up a battery-powered home in advance of widespread and sustained power outages. This is the only book you need to be prepared to keep your refrigerator running, your lights on, and much more.
In a survival setting, the ability to access emergency power may make the difference between life and death. Lights On is the most extensive guide ever produced on battery power to give you the best chance to succeed if the grid fails. - Joe Alton, MD, and Amy Alton, ARNP, authors of the no. 1 Amazon bestseller The Survival Medicine Handbook and hosts of the Doom and Bloom preparedness podcast
As a long time reader of Backwoods Home Magazine, I know Jeff Yago is an authority on solar and alternative power. For those who are totally dependent on the power grid Lights On will, hopefully, start the alarm bells ringing. Mr. Yago not only details the threats, he also offers solutions to overcome short- or long-term power loss. If you want to know how to live with power after the grid goes down, this is the book for you. - John Egan, Dir. PrepperGroups.com
America's enemies know the grid is our weakness. It is just a matter of time before the grid is attacked. Lights On is the first book you should read in your quest to be better protected. - Vincent VonDoom, Disaster Survival Network
It is a scientific fact that both an EMP and solar storm can take down our nation's electric grid which could take years to restore. Tests have shown many vehicles will no longer run, all internet and phone communications will be severely disrupted, and all banking and credit card processing will just stop.
Finally, a book that not only explains how this is possible in a very easy-to-understand presentation but also dispels all the EMP myths and hype circulating the internet.
Not only will the ABCs of EMP help you understand the threat, but it also includes lots of commonsense ways to be better prepared. What's true? What's hype? What will an EMP actually do, and what can it not do? The answers are inside

A powerful story of seldom-sung heroines in humanity's darkest days and a vivid reminder of the power of conscience. -- Edgardo David Holzman, author of Malena
Throughout the occupied territories, Catholic Sisters were active members of The Nazi Resistance.
Based on letters and documents written by Catholic Sisters during the Nazi occupation of Belgium, this book tells the remarkable story of these brave and faithful women, and how they served to resist the German forces.
From running contraband to hiding Jews, from spying for the allies to small acts of sabotage, these courageous women risked their lives to help defeat the Reich.
This is a story that needs to be told.
Thriving, In the Black, the metaphor of being in a dark, confined space is explored not as a hindrance, but as a vital stage of growth and opportunity. This perspective shift is crucial for anyone navigating the turbulent waters of financial challenges or personal setbacks. It posits that these challenging times are not about being buried under problems but about being planted in the fertile soil of potential.
Just as a seed thrives in the darkness of the soil, businesses and individuals can also see their darker periods as crucial for germination and growth. In the financial realm, the goal is to be In the Black, a state symbolizing profitability and stability. This book illustrates how the apparent darkness can be a foundation from which to rise. The roots of a tree, though out of sight, are vital for its growth, anchoring the tree and absorbing nutrients. Similarly, our challenges can root us in essential values and strategies, reinforcing our determination and capacity to flourish despite adversity.
This book encourages readers to embrace these periods of darkness as opportunities for planting the seeds of future success. By viewing our trials as foundational, we can transform them into the bedrock of a thriving, profitable state, both personally and professionally. Thriving, In the Black teaches us to appreciate the unseen growth happening beneath the surface, much like the sturdy roots of a tree that allow it to reach towards the sky. Thus, in moments of doubt or difficulty, remember you are not being buried; you are being planted, poised to grow into a prosperous future loaded with possibilities.
The Singing Athlete is the first book of its kind: a view on voice training through the lens of both the physical body and the nervous system. As one of the top teachers of professional Broadway performers, Andrew Byrne has developed a unique synthesis of athletics and neuroscience that will guide you to higher levels of performance. In addition to his work on Broadway, Andrew is devoted to studying the training methods used by Olympic athletes as a Master Practitioner of Z-Health functional applied neuroscience. He has taken thousands of hours of research and boiled it down into an easily digestible form that will help you unlock amazing new vocal skills.
When you buy The Singing Athlete, you're not just picking up a book. You're getting a complete training system. With your purchase, you get lifetime access to The Singing Athlete Video Guide, a companion website that includes over 150 training videos. You'll learn the correct form for every drill, explore awesome bonus content, and download PDFs to track your progress.
Through the fully illustrated book and the accompanying videos, you will learn to breathe correctly, exercise your tongue, jaw, and throat, and use your ears and eyes to improve vocal range and stamina.
FAQsHow is The Singing Athlete different from other vocal training systems?
When you study voice, your instructor is always practicing neurology-either accidentally or on purpose. A lot of voice systems can tell you about the anatomy of the voice, but The Singing Athlete provides a crucial missing piece-how to train your brain. Once you understand how your nervous system is in charge of your singing, the way you practice will shift forever, and everything your teacher says will make more sense.
I'm an instructor of a certain style of vocal training. Can I integrate The Singing Athlete into what I already do?
That is one of the greatest strengths of this system; this material can fit in seamlessly with almost any style of training. The Singing Athlete is designed to complement what you already do, providing a new framework to expand and focus your thinking. Lisa Rochelle (NYC Singing Voice Specialist) says it this way: The Singing Athlete negates no other system, no other technique, and no other pedagogy. It can be used to meet a singer where they are.
How will I know if this training is working?
The process in The Singing Athlete (known as Assess and Reassess) will you show you precisely what kind of exercise your voice appreciates. With The Singing Athlete, there is no guesswork and you will be sure you are doing the right drills.
I'm not a Broadway singer-I sing other styles (pop/country/R&B/classical, etc.) Can I get good results from this book?
The Singing Athlete is independent of vocal style. You can apply these exercises to any vocal style, from heavy metal to grand opera. Whether you want to sing Quando m'en vo or Call Me Maybe, Andrew has got you covered.
How does The Singing Athlete Video Guide work?
Learning movement is a visual process. To get the most out of the exercises, Andrew has shot a video of each drill. This will allow you to make sure you've got the form right, as well as learn details about how to use and tweak the drills. Once you've purchased the book, you can get lifetime access to the Video Guide at thesingingathlete.com. (Plus, there are some cool songs there, too.)

His light defines me.
His light frames the forest.
The cover art is Andréa Watson's charcoal, Light Frames the Forest. It symbolizes God's truth, light that endows the world with intellectual and spiritual knowledge. And it suggests traditional images of the Christ's nature, death, and resurrection.
It makes me wonder what I might have become, if I'd left the knife inside me.
Val is what some people would call precocious, and others would call a monster. Professor Williams calls him a pain in the ass, and that's good enough for Val. He doesn't know what the hunter calls him, but he knows he would like to find out. Bodies, boys, bugs, blood, brothers. Trans erotica-horror for mature adults only.
Happily ever after takes work. A lot of work. This is no exception, especially if you're married to an entrepreneur. When you first met your entrepreneurial spouse, you were probably charmed by their devotion to ideas, building their dreams and the inevitable hard work and strong work ethic it required.

You may even start to feel like your relationship or marriage has taken a backseat to their dreams and aspirations.
Do you ever feel like your spouse is married to their business? It is not uncommon for spouses of entrepreneurs to feel this way. Many entrepreneurs, especially in the early-stage startup phase, bring their work home and haven't figured out how to manage work-life priorities quite yet.
The good news is that relationships and marriages are a partnership in which both spouses can make an effort to create a happy, fulfilling, and adventurous love while building financial wealth. In this book, Dr. Frederick D. Acklin will share all the tips, tools, and strategies for keeping the fire in the bedroom as well as the boardroom.
