The Legacy of a Singular Life - Hazel Almeda Boulton: Collected Poems and Prose (Hardcover): Julia L. George The Legacy of a Singular Life - Hazel Almeda Boulton: Collected Poems and Prose (Hardcover)

Legacy of a Singular Life is a compilation of the poetry, essays and stories of Miss H. Almeda Boulton. If she loved anything it was nature: the innocence of trees, the joy of the bird, the mischief of a squirrel, the mystery of weather, the history of the rock or mountains and seas. She lived her life watching, recording what she saw into her quick, inquisitive mind. Her poetry relates her observations without the frills of romanticism or obscurity and rings with a clear truth. Circumstances set her apart from relationships she craved. Those few she regarded as enduring were taken from her at various times in her life. Her strict independence was founded upon the realization that only one person was completely and absolutely trustworthy: herself. This was not a selfish condition. It was all she knew. She would be amazed to know her writings are of interest. There is much to learn from them and her thoughts and philosophies are valuable lessons to be taught to all generations. She died at the great age of 96. Her closest and most endearing kin was Mother Nature. She rests in the sanctuary of the arms of Mother Earth with her treasured ancestors in Caro, MI. May God grant her peace and respite. She lived a rewarding and abundant life with fearless exuberance.

Finally Chapter five outlines standardization efforts and practical and industrial experiences.I COST aims at creating an active research community dedicated to explore how smart homes in particular and health telematics in general can foster independent living and an enhanced life style for elderly and disabled people. On the one hand, smart homes are augmented environments with embedded computers, information appliances and multi-modal sensors allowing people to perform tasks efficiently by offering unprecedented levels of access to information and assistance from computer.
