  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  The Star Wars franchise began with the 1977 film Star Wars, which was later subtitled Episode IV: A New Hope. The film's success led to the creation of an elaborate film serial, which was envisioned to be a trilogy of trilogies. 
    
  The Star Wars universe features humans and various alien species coexisting with droids and utilizes lightspeed hyperspace travel. Planets in this universe range from wealthy cities to sparsely populated deserts and include a variety of biomes, both real and fictional. 
    
  The Force, a mystical power in the Star Wars universe, is described as an energy field created by all living things. This energy field can be used by individuals who train and meditate, giving them superpowers like telekinesis and precognition. 
    
  The conflict in Star Wars is largely between the Jedi, who use the light side of the Force for peace, and the Sith, who use the dark side for power. While the Jedi can be numerous, the Sith are intended to be limited to two: a master and an apprentice.

  The Shocking Truth about Genetic...

  Genetic testing has become one of the most talked-about advancements in modern science, promising insights into health, ancestry, and even future risks for inherited conditions. With the rise of at-home DNA testing kits and their widespread availability, more people than ever are exploring what their genetic code can reveal. But behind the promise of knowledge lies a complex web of ethical concerns, privacy risks, and limitations that many consumers are unaware of. While genetic testing can be a powerful tool for medical advancements and personalized healthcare, it also raises important questions about how this information is used, who has access to it, and what unintended consequences may arise.  
  At its core, genetic testing analyzes DNA to identify mutations, traits, or predispositions that can impact a person’s health and well-being. Initially developed for medical use, these tests have expanded beyond hospitals and research labs, becoming a booming industry catering to consumers who want to know more about their ancestry or potential health risks. Companies market these tests as a way to take control of one’s future, offering data on everything from nutrition and fitness compatibility to risks for serious diseases. However, the accuracy and reliability of these consumer-grade tests vary, and their results can sometimes lead to unnecessary panic or false reassurance. Furthermore, genetic testing is not always as straightforward as it seems—genes interact in complex ways, and not all findings have clear implications for an individual’s health.  
  One of the most pressing concerns surrounding genetic testing is privacy. The information encoded in DNA is highly personal, yet many people provide their genetic data to testing companies without fully understanding how it may be stored, shared, or sold.

  Written by Kamalagita Hughes, The Mindful Teacher's Handbook: How to step out of busyness and find peace is a practical guide to mindfulness that will empower teachers and school staff to take better care of their well-being and find calm in the day-to-day hustle and bustle of the school setting.
  When we're on an aeroplane, the on-board safety instructions tell us that in the event of an emergency we should put on our own oxygen mask first - and only then help those around us. The same is true for well-being: we need to look after ourselves in order to be a resource for others. This is especially the case in busy, high-pressure environments such as our classrooms and schools, where burnout is a real concern for teachers and leaders, who all too often relegate their own self-care to the bottom of the to-do list.
  The Mindful Teacher's Handbook is a practical and engaging resource to help everyone in schools bring mindfulness into their lives in a meaningful way. Mindfulness practice offers simple, straightforward strategies for finding peace and regaining perspective, and has a solid body of evidence that attests to its efficacy. In this book, Kamalagita Hughes provides a lively and engaging blend of top tips, research evidence, case studies, guided meditations and suggested exercises for all - both for those new to mindfulness and for those who want to refresh their practice.
  Providing a thorough, grounded understanding of mindfulness and its benefits for the school community, the book explores the links between well-being and education and sets out how improved staff and student well-being can cultivate a better teaching and learning environment for all. Kamalagita offers practical strategies that school staff can put into practice straight away - both for their own well-being and that of their pupils - including insightful case studies on how best to bring mindfulness to your school.
  Suitable for teachers, teaching assistants and school leaders.

  Jodi Kantor’s groundbreaking reporting has toppled media magnates and sparked justice in the workplace worldwide. But before all of this, Kantor was kicked off her college newspaper. Society expects perfection, but Kantor knows those first professional steps are often rocky. She also knows that today’s graduates are facing a new and frightening playing field.    In a post-pandemic world rife with political upheaval, the unknowns of AI, and the general uncertainty of coming-of-age, Kantor casts aside platitudes and false hope to offer something tangible. There is a difference between realism and cynicism, she says. Work is how we spend much of our time. It’s our engine of progress: how vaccines are made, political campaigns won, television crafted for our pleasure. Instead of letting cynicism win, Kantor rolls up her sleeves and identifies three principles to help young people discover their life’s work: craft, need, and money. Powerful and provocative, How to Start is a statement of faith for young people to keep in their back pocket as they make their way through uncertain times. To face the challenges ahead, Kantor offers inspired wisdom, strategy, and a set of aspirations to launch their careers and last their whole lives.
