  Nominated in Scotland’s National Book Awards 
  In this searing, frank and funny memoir, Catherine Simpson describes what it’s been like to live in her woman’s body, and to reach the realisation that all that time she’d spent trying to change her body to conform - often to unattainable standards - could be seen from a completely different perspective. 
  By the time she reached her fifties, Catherine Simpson and her body had gone through a lot together—from period pain and early menopause to shaming and harassment. But there had been success, joy, love, and laughter too: far more freedoms than her mother had, a fulfilling family life and career, and even the promise of further gains for her daughters. 
  So when a cancer diagnosis upends her life, Catherine is forced to reflect on her body, then and now. From growing up on a farm where veterinarians were more common than doctors, and where illness was “a nuisance,” she finds herself faced with the nuisance of a lifetime. 
  One Body is the demystifying, relatable, often hilarious and sometimes hair-raising story of how Catherine navigates her treatment and takes stock of the emotions and reflections it provokes. And how she comes to appreciate the skin she is in—to be grateful for her body and all that it does and is.

  Empire of God - How the...

  Western civilization is generally regarded as the child of Athens, Jerusalem, and Rome. That is, in the West, our philosophical and political thought is derived from that of the ancient Greeks; our Christian religion comes from the Jewish religion, and both of these came to us via the Roman Empire. 
   
   
   
  Western society has other forefathers as well: we would be unwise to give the Byzantine Empire short shrift. The ways in which it has influenced our world for the good, and indeed, created the parameters of our society at its healthiest and strongest, are insufficiently appreciated today. 
   
   
   
  If the United States were to last as long as the Roman Empire, including its Byzantine period, it would have to continue as an independent country until the year 2899. To maintain a unified nation state for over eleven hundred years is a remarkable achievement by any standard, and the Romans accomplished it while facing existential threats and efforts to extinguish their polity during virtually every period of their existence. Now, nearly six hundred years after the demise of the empire, its influence still resonates in a number of fields. 
   
   
   
  There is no arguing with success. It's time we took notice.

In this lecture Robert Anton Wilson speaks of how wars are fought in self defense rather than for profit. It is "A game without end." Once you have defined the world where you are surrounded by enemies who are collecting weapons to attack war becomes permanent out of fear. He believed he that every war results from the struggle for markets and spheres of influence, and every war is sold to the public by professional liars and totally sincere religious maniacs, as a Holy Crusade to save God and Goodness from Satan and Evil.

  ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disease) is a common emotional and behavioral disorder that can disrupt a child's academic and social functioning. ADHD is characterized by inattention, impulsivity, and motor activity that are developmentally inappropriate. Within an educational setting, children with attention problems form a unique group with a wide range of demands. Although there are various issues linked with children who have been diagnosed with ADHD, many parents and educators are concerned about social skill impairments.The most unpleasant element of ADHD-related deficits is not being accepted by one's peer group, feeling separated, strange, unlikeable, and alone, and these experiences have long-term consequences. It's crucial to maintain positive relationships with people. Though children with ADHD really want to make friends and be accepted by their peers, they frequently lack the skills to do so. The good news is that you can assist your child in developing these social abilities and skills.
