  Ellis Island and Angel Island:...

  Charles River Editors

  On New Year’s Day 1892, a young Irish girl named Annie Moore stepped off the steamship Nevada and landed on a tiny island that once held a naval fort. As she made her way through the large building on that island, Annie was processed as the first immigrant to come to America through Ellis Island. Like so many immigrants before her, she and her family settled in an Irish neighborhood in the city, and she would live out the rest of her days there. 
  Thanks to the opening of Ellis Island near the end of the 19th century, immigration into New York City exploded, and the city’s population nearly doubled in a decade. By the 1900s, 2 million people considered themselves New Yorkers, and Ellis Island would be responsible not just for that but for much of the influx of immigrants into the nation as a whole over the next half a century. To this day, about a third of the Big Apple’s population is comprised of immigrants today, making it one of the most diverse cities in the world. 
  Angel Island, the largest island in San Francisco Bay at about 740 acres, was originally named when Don Juan Manuel Ayala sailed into San Francisco Bay. Supposedly, the island was named “Angel” because the land mass appeared to him as an angel guarding the bay, and when Ayala made a map of the Bay, on it he marked Angel Island as, “Isla de Los Angeles.” 
  The island is currently a large state park with beautiful views of the San Francisco Bay and skyline, but the most noteworthy part of the park is the immigration museum. That site is what makes Angel Island so famous today, as it remains best known for being the entry point for Asian immigrants to the United States from 1910-1940.There is no way to know for sure how many people actually passed through Angel Island because of the destruction of most of the historical documentation in a fire, but historians estimate that it was between 100,000 and 500,000 people.

  History of Marathas EP17 -...

  Ram Shastri Prabhune conducted an enquiry and found Raghunathrao the culprit in addition to another fifty persons of which there was one female servant. 'The law,' he thundered 'was above the individual.'
  The intrepid judge fearlessly argued the point and told Raghunathrao on his face that he was himself found to be the chief culprit and as such deserved the capital punishment. Raghoba asked indirectly whether a person who had committed a crime under unavoidable circumstances and now wanted to repent could seek penance.
  When his point was put forth, Ram Shastri boldly declared, 'Dehant prayaschitta shivay doosra kahi prayaschitta nahin,' meaning 'the only penance was capital punishment or a death sentence.' Never before in the history of India or for that matter in any country a sitting judge had passed a death sentence on the ruling monarch. It was a rare show of judicial independence which we possibly do not see even in today's times. Those present in the court could not believe what they had just heard. There was a hushed silence...

  Dialectic is a method of discussion between two arguments in an effort to finding a better truth and throughout histories, various philosophers have come up with their own logic of dialectic. Hegelian dialectic was born during the modern philosophy time, adopting Plato’s dialectic with Hegel’s own touch to it. Hegelian dialectic unites two different determinations into one, creating a meaning that, although the previous determination is negated, keeps the old concepts within it. But how exactly is the Hegelian dialectic affecting the studies of logic and other subjects in the past? Also, how does Hegelian dialectic excels its predecessors, namely Plato’s dialectic?

  You don't have to search endlessly for happiness. You can practice it. 
   
   
  You've worked hard, achieved your goals, and followed the well-meaning advice. Yet that sense of deep fulfilment still feels just out of reach. But the problem was never you. It's that no one ever taught you that happiness is a skillset, not a destination. 
   
  Declan Edwards - "That Happiness Guy" - has spent over a decade coaching thousands of people through BU Happiness College, an award-winning program grounded in positive psychology research. How to Be Happy distills that coaching experience into five core skills that build lasting well-being from the inside out, one intentional choice at a time. 
   
   
  Understand your emotions and work with them instead of against them 
   
  Tune out the noise and reconnect with what truly matters to you 
   
  Train your brain to notice the good without ignoring life's challenges 
   
  Get clear on who you really are - your values, your strengths and what makes you feel loved 
   
  Build a life with real direction, meaning and daily purpose 
   
   
  How to be Happy is for people who want real tools, not inspirational slogans. Complete with practical exercises, insightful case studies and research-backed strategies that meet you exactly where you are. Whether you're a growth-minded professional, an overwhelmed achiever or simply ready to feel more alive, now is the time to progress towards the happy and fulfilling life you deserve - one skill and one step at a time. 
   
  ‘Restores dignity to the pursuit of happiness. In a world obsessed with optimisation and performance, Declan Edwards treats happiness not as a reward for success or a personality trait, but as a set of human skills that can be learned, practised and shared. The result is a refreshingly grounded, human-centred guide that is both scientifically rigorous and genuinely useful.’ HAMZA KHAN, author an internationally renowned keynote speaker 
   
  ‘Grounded in science. Rich in humanity. Free of BS. It dismantles the happiness industry’s biggest myths and offers something tangible: the way to a richer, fuller life.’ DR JUSTIN COULSON, author, speaker and parenting expert 
   
  ‘This is the book that all humans need… and need to read. Declan’s research and expertise on the subject of happiness is extraordinary and his commitment to the wellbeing of the world goes well beyond the written word. Sometimes books temporarily move you; this book guides you to be a better, happier human.’ KARL TREACHER, CEO at the Culture Institute of Australia

  How to Resist Guilt - On What's...

  From the author of In Defense of Witches, a powerful exploration of self-blame, its origins, why women are prone to it, and what we can do about it.Many of us battle a relentless inner critic, which whispers to us that we are unworthy or inadequate, whether in our role as parents, employees, or citizens of an unjust world. In How to Resist Guilt acclaimed feminist writer Mona Chollet asks why we so often succumb to these feelings and settle for a second-rate life lived under constant pressure, instead of fighting back, having the courage to say no, protecting our boundaries and living the life that we deserve.Drawing widely on popular culture and literature to expose this "enemy within," Chollet encourages us to reject the fear of not being good enough, to liberate ourselves from overwhelming duty, and to enjoy the profound simplicity of just being. Delving into the insidious ways guilt is wielded as a tool by those with power and privilege, particularly against marginalized communities, including women and sexual and racial minorities, she helps us to identify the source of the critical voice, question its validity, and ultimately silence it.
