Baby rescued alive, two days after Turkish quake

It is being hailed as a miracle, two days after Turkey’s deadly earthquake. A 14-day-old baby girl has been pulled from the rubble.

Libya ponders Sharia law

The new Libya is considering how it will live by Islamic Sharia law, which includes some traditional practices which some countries consider inhumane. Many Westerners were among those horrified when this vision was voiced just days ago amid celebrations over the death of Colonel Gaddafi. It was by no means the first time such a prospect was raised, when the chairman of the Libyan National Transitional Council, said: “We as a Muslim nation take Sharia as the basic source of law.” But Mustafa Abdul-Jalil then softened this. The former minister of justice under the old regime has in the past been praised as fair and reasonable by international human rights bodies.

Why Some Pregnancy Books Cause More Harm Than Good

With the rise in holistic medicine and alternative healing, it’s surprising Dr. Jennifer Barham-Floreani’s Well Adjusted Babies is one of the few pregnancy books available on the subject for mothers and babies. “Dr. Jen” as she is known, must be an overachiever type, because the book is over 700 pages! The length also tells us that there was a huge untapped need for pregnancy books about holistic healing for babies and kids. Well Adjusted Babies has been out a few years now. And yet nothing seems to have changed in the world of traditional pregnancy books. There is barely a whisper in most of them about anything holistic.

What are Aura Readings?

Aura Readings are meant to look at a person’s spiritual energy system, as demonstrated through the seven layers of one’s aura. Along with colors, the reader doing aura readings sees memory pictures, symbolic images, spiritual beings and energy belonging to others such as family and friends.
