Pema first met her root guru, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, in 1972. His Holiness the Sixteenth Karmapa came to Scotland at that time, and Ani Pema received her ordination from him. She became a novice nun in 1974 while studying with Lama Chime in London. ![]() While in her mid-thirties, Ani Pema traveled to the French Alps and encountered Lama Chime Rinpoche, with whom she studied for several years. Pema has two children and three grandchildren. She taught as an elementary school teacher for many years in both New Mexico and California.

I did learn a lot from reading this, certainly more than I would have thought from the length and picture-heavy nature of it, and the star rating (3.5) is almost entirely down to that. As someone with zero knowledge of plants (very much the audience for this book) this was supremely unhelpful and confusing. All the plant names are in Latin (which I like but would prefer more colloquial names too), and although almost every plant pictured is helpfully labelled nowhere does it tell you which name in the list goes with which plant. It is picture heavy, short, has a lot of chapters, a very specific #aesthetic, and no long blocks of text. It's neither quite what I was looking for or what I expected, though. It isn't bad, necessarily, and for some people the nods to an online community and photo tips are probably very helpful, but it's not so much my thing - my Instagram is shit and I have every intention of keeping it that way. This book is quite social media friendly, which I wasn't expecting because I had no idea of the authors beforehand. ![]() ![]() ![]() Modern business titans: Steve Jobs and Elon Musk ![]() Related: 4 Leadership Lessons I Learned From a Marine Corps General His strategic acumen played a crucial role in defending Greece against the Persian invasion, demonstrating the benefits of adaptability and diverse tactics in achieving success. Themistocles's ability to adapt to changing circumstances and his diverse range of tactics highlight the characteristics of a fox. Recognizing the importance of naval power, Themistocles guided the Greeks to victory in the Battle of Salamis, where the Persian fleet was defeated. In contrast, Themistocles embodies the adaptable fox. Inflexibility and overreliance on numerical superiority contributed to the failure of his invasion. The small Greek force led by King Leonidas held off the Persian army for several days, ultimately exposing the limitations of Xerxes's strategy. However, his single-minded focus on conquest and inability to adapt to changing circumstances led to the disastrous Battle of Thermopylae. With a singular goal of conquering Greece, Xerxes amassed a vast army and embarked on an ambitious campaign. Two such figures are Xerxes, the King of Persia, and Themistocles, the Athenian general. ![]() Leadership lessons from history: Xerxes and ThemistoclesĮxamining historical figures through the lens of the foxes and hedgehogs metaphor can provide valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of different leadership styles. ![]() ![]() ![]() They can make a major impact on highway safety, assisting in real-world data collection to better define the auto safety problem, aiding in law enforcement, and understanding the specific aspects of a crash. EDRs are devices which record information related to an "event." In the context of this site the event is defined as a highway vehicle crash.ĮDRs can be simple or complex in design, scope, and reach. ![]() ![]() We are not using the term to include any type of device that either makes an audio or video record, or logs data such as hours of service for truck operators. For instance, EDRs may record (1) pre-crash vehicle dynamics and system status, (2) driver inputs, (3) vehicle crash signature, (4) restraint usage/deployment status, and (5) post-crash data such as the activation of an automatic collision notification (ACN) system. When we use the term EDR in this site, we are referring to a device installed in a motor vehicle to record technical vehicle and occupant information for a brief period of time (seconds, not minutes) before, during and after a crash. Since the term "EDR" can be used to cover many different types of devices, we believe it is important to define the term for purposes of this research site. ![]() ![]() Swimming stretches my body beyond its earthly limits, helping to soothe every ache and caress every muscle. ![]() Tell me, as the medical world does from time to time, to think of something pleasant and count backwards, and I’m back in the drink, enveloped by an ocean, a lake, or a turquoise box, carving long and languorous laps that lull me into serenity.Īt one level, it’s purely sensual: the silky feeling of liquid on skin the chance to float free, as close to flying as I’ll ever get the opportunity to reach, if not for the stars, at least for the starfish.
