  Brent Maher, who has produced seven Grammy Award winning records and over twenty #1 singles has written this musical novel, “Night of the Orphan Train”, bringing to life the little-known story of 250,000 homeless orphans who were swept off the streets of New York City and shipped off in boxcars to every state in the union from 1854 until the early 1920s. Songs weave in and out of the saga and help to tell the story of three of these children, who we meet around the age of 11. Caroline, a young girl far older than her years would suggest, Billy, who has an unshakeable sense of right and wrong, and Jacob, whose heart is as big as the moon. We follow their journeys from their childhood to young adulthood with the Orphan Trains, World War I, and Angels Unawares profoundly impacting each of their lives.

  A Country of Two Agricultures

  Nearly three decades after the dawn of democracy, South Africa has remained a country of 'two agricultures'. On the one hand we have a subsistence, primarily non-commercial, black farming segment. On the other hand, however, we have a predominantly commercial and white farming sector that is well-resourced and has access to domestic and international trade networks.
  These disparities can be traced back to South Africa's painful history where, for decades, black farmers were on the margins of government support and also experienced land dispossession and livestock plunder.
  A Country of Two Agricultures focuses less on history and more on the present and the future, explaining why these disparities have persisted in the democratic era, and what it will take to overcome them. It aims to contribute to a better understanding of the variety of agricultural forces, taking into account both questions of domestic political economy and external factors, as well as to bring to light new risks and opportunities.
  Wandile Sihlobo offers insights into the role of agriculture in the South African economy from an agricultural economy perspective, and provides political economy insights that are rooted in the experiences of farming communities on the ground and right through the value chain.
  Beyond insights on the realities this book offers the government, the private sector, and anyone interested in the betterment of the South African economy, tools to grapple with this duality, and proposes a framework for bolstering the black farming segment for growth and competitiveness – and ultimately food security.
  Wandile Sihlobo is the Chief Economist of the Agricultural Business Chamber of South Africa (Agbiz) and the author of Finding Common Ground: Land, Equity and Agriculture.

  Narcissism - Excessive Self-Love...

  Narcissism is a psychological concept that has long fascinated scholars, psychologists, and the general public alike. It is often associated with excessive self-love, a heightened sense of self-importance, and a lack of empathy for others. While narcissistic traits can manifest in different ways, they generally revolve around an inflated self-image, a deep need for admiration, and difficulties in forming genuine emotional connections. The term originates from the Greek myth of Narcissus, a young man who fell in love with his own reflection, ultimately leading to his demise. This myth serves as a metaphor for the dangers of extreme self-obsession and the inability to recognize the needs of others. 
  At its core, narcissism exists on a spectrum. A healthy level of self-esteem and confidence is essential for personal development and success. However, when self-love becomes excessive and is coupled with an absence of empathy, it can lead to behaviors that harm relationships, work environments, and even societal structures. Narcissism can manifest in subtle ways, such as a tendency to dominate conversations or dismiss opposing viewpoints, or in more extreme forms, such as manipulative behavior and an inability to accept criticism. 
  The role of self-love and empathy in human behavior is a delicate balance. While a certain degree of self-appreciation is necessary for mental well-being, an overemphasis on oneself at the expense of others creates social and psychological challenges. Empathy, the ability to understand and share the feelings of others, is often lacking in those with high narcissistic tendencies. This deficiency can lead to exploitative relationships, a disregard for others' emotions, and difficulty in maintaining meaningful connections.
