A German environmentalist decides to love a Maasai - and to live in one of the most patriarchal cultures in the world. On a research trip to Africa, biologist Stephanie Fuchs meets Sokoine, a traditional Maasai. The two fall in love, but the hurdles that stand in the way of their relationship are great. Finally, they give their love a chance and Stephanie Fuchs moves to Sokoine's village in Tanzania. She soon faces major challenges: she first has to find her place in the traditional village community. Her life among the Maasai is repeatedly overshadowed by serious setbacks: Stephanie is injured in a dramatic car accident and after the birth of their son Yannik, she suffers from postnatal depression. But the biggest test for Stephanie, Sokoine, and their village comes when the consequences of climate change become apparent - in the form of persistent droughts that threaten their livelihoods. Stephanie comes up with a plan to protect her son and her family from climatic changes. A moving and cleverly told true story of love, home, and the great challenges of our time.

She was 17-years-old on a Christmas Eve flight 40 years ago to join her father for Christmas when the unimaginable happened. The Lockheed L-188A Electra, on the way from Lima to Pucallpa, flew directly into a thunderstorm. A strike of lightning left the plane incinerated and Juliane Diller (Koepcke) still strapped to her plane seat falling through the night air two miles above the Earth. Her survival is unexplainable and considered a modern day miracle. Her mother was among the 91 dead and Juliane the sole survivor. For 11 days she crawled and walked alone through the jungle, fighting for her survival again with hunger and despair her only companions as maggots ate their way into her wounds. Juliane ultimately survives and goes on to live an inspiring life as a scientist continually drawn back to the terrain that threatened to take her. On the 40th anniversary, she shares not only the private moments of her survival and rescue but her life in the wake of the dramatic true story.

When you're new to the fire service, you always assume that your career's momentous events will center around raging fires and dramatic rescues. This amazing compilation of firehouse journals and images captured by a photojournalist in Milwaukee, Wisconsin who had unrestricted access to fire scenes, shares those stories with the world in this beautiful compilation of journal entries and images. These stories such as " When Bullets Fly," " Fire at the Historic Matthew Keenan House," the " 777 N. Jefferson Street Fire," and " Schowalter Building Fire A Tragic Brady Street Architectural Loss." These recollections encompass flashovers, exits thru windows, unbearable heat, close calls, and the valiant efforts of firefighters, who toiled valiantly, despite being hampered by cold and ice, or the heat. Over 100 Milwaukee firefighters have died and many more seriously injured in the line of duty. During the past fifty years, we have made great strides in firefighting safety procedures and equipment, and some of these stories led the way to the implementation of those changes.

2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike & 26.2-mile run = 140.6 miles. It's called Ironman. I completed two of them in my mid-thirties. At the time, I thought it was just another fitness goal I set for myself. And, yes, it's definitely a huge fitness goal, but 20 years later, as I look back at this accomplishment, it was not about crossing the finish line at all. Both the physical and mental strength it took to train for as well as complete actually provided me with the physical and mental strength I needed years later when I found out I had cancer, as well as learning my husband's cancer was terminal. I will share what I learned during this part of my life, other than just swimming, biking, and running 140.6 miles, and how it equipped me for my future self.

I would find refuge, and he would find me and ruin it. I remember everything. I can still hear 13-year-old her (me) screaming and crying, "No, no!" I get angry at myself for being so weak and unable to fight harder-- so many of them. Everyone treated me like trash. My soul retching inside my body, frantically clawing, not to get out, but to bury itself deeper, further away from you, while you tell me I asked for this. Everything is louder when it's silent. I dreamed of drowning. There is a marked point in my life. If you could see the timeline of "me," there is a pin stuck about halfway that signifies the most important day of my life.
