  Even with new health-care policies, it's clear that health-care costs will continue to rise dramatically. While individuals may get better coverage, businesses will have the same problem they've had for the last four decades. Health care, one of corporate America's largest expenses, is growing at double-digit rates, and nothing done in Washington will change that. 
   
   
   
  But one company set out to tame the beast of rising health-care costs. Serigraph, Inc., a Wisconsin-based manufacturer of decorative parts, and its chairman, John Torinus, did what Washington can't or won't do: reduce cost increases to less than two percent while improving the quality of health care for its employees. The implications for corporate America are staggering—the opportunity for genuine reform in an expense category that has been spiraling out of control. 
   
   
   
  The Company That Solved Health Care describes the fascinating details of Serigraph's program and shows how any company can achieve similar results. This book is a must-listen for any manager responsible for his or her company's health-care expenses, any academic or thinker involved in the health-care debate, and anyone who wants to better understand why health-care costs have been rising and what can be done to achieve price stability while improving patient care.

  As a matter of fact, world coal production is still experiencing a notable increase. This rise has nothing to do with current changes in the US administration policy. It is just a new trend.
  
  As an example:
  
  In 2024, Australia approved three coal mine expansions.
  There are 25 additional proposals for new or expanded coal mines currently waiting for Federal government approval. This is more than during the last ten years and will simply represent massive additional CO2 emissions.
  
  These pending projects exceed the total from any single year of the last decade. Energy transition appears fraught with challenges, complexities, and structural contradictions. As we grapple with the harsh truths of the present, two fundamental questions arise:
  
  Will we be able to reach the 2050 net zero targets?
  What needs to change to make it happen?
  
  Clearly, the world will not be saved by:
  
  Switching to an electric car.
  Limiting your meat consumption.
  
  In what we could name "sofa-ecology behavior," we must refuse to shy away from inconvenient truths. Society should observe no taboos. We have no time for fear.

  There is one point that contemporary psychology and centuries old Eastern Buddhist and Taoist teachings agree on: if you wish to experience less suffering, you must change the way you see yourself. But what if the change that is needed is to let go of our selves entirely? What does this mean for those of us living in an increasingly self-obsessed and individualistic society? 
   
   
   
  In this compassionate and galvanizing book, Dr. Tom Davies gently invites you to consider the basic elements that define who you are. 
   
   
   
  ● In Part One, get to know your self. From the ground up, discover what the self truly is, how it links to identity, and how self-obsession is central to the human condition and the psychological pain that each of us experience. 
   
   
   
  ● In Part Two, overcome self-obsession. Free yourself from your psychological prison, and learn how to live the peaceful and joyful life that you deserve. 
   
   
   
  With a fresh and lucid style, Dr. Tom Davies combines his knowledge of the medical, psychological, and the philosophical to bring you real solutions to life's most challenging problems.

  Ghost in the Criminal Justice...

  Despite reform efforts that have grown in scope and intensity over the last two decades, the machine of American mass incarceration continues to flourish. In this powerful polemic, formerly incarcerated activist, essayist, and organizer Emile Suotonye DeWeaver argues that the root of the problem is white supremacy. 
   
   
   
  During his twenty-one years in prison, DeWeaver covertly organized to pass legislation impacting juveniles in California's criminal legal system; was a culture writer for Easy Street Magazine; and cofounded Prison Renaissance, an organization centering incarcerated voices and incarcerated leadership. DeWeaver draws on these experiences to interrogate the central premise of reform efforts, including prisoner rehabilitation programs, arguing that they demand self-abnegation, entrench white supremacy, and ignore the role of structural oppression. 
   
   
   
  With lucid, urgent prose, DeWeaver intervenes in contemporary debates on criminal justice and racial justice efforts with his eye-opening discussion of the tools we need to end white supremacy—both within and outside the carceral setting. For readers of Mariame Kaba, Susan Burton, and Derecka Purnell, Ghost in the Criminal Justice Machine adds a sharp and unique perspective to the growing discourse on racial justice, incarceration, and abolition.

  The Golden Age Awakens: The Lost Truth of Humanity 
  UNVEIL THE TRUTH THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW 
  Beneath the thin veneer of recorded history lies a forgotten reality—one so profound it would shatter our understanding of human civilization. 
  • The spectacular truth about the Dacian civilization—guardians of cosmic knowledge that predates recorded history • Secret underground chambers discovered in Romania's Bucegi Mountains containing technology beyond our current scientific understanding • Ancient sound technology that could manipulate consciousness, matter, and even time itself • Evidence of deliberate historical falsification by powers determined to keep humanity disconnected from its true heritage • The hidden matriarchal wisdom tradition that preserved crucial knowledge through millennia of persecution

  "The most explosive revelation of hidden history since 'Fingerprints of the Gods.' Julei connects dots that rewire your understanding of human potential." – Readers are saying

  In the shadows of progress, two women's stories were erased. Until now. 
   
   
   
  What if a respected surgeon could destroy your life with just one diagnosis? 
   
   
   
  In early twentieth century Green Bay, Wisconsin, this terrifying reality was all too true for two women. Mary, an illiterate maid, and Mollie, a college-educated socialite, fell victim to the physical violence and mental abuse of celebrated surgeon Dr. John R. Minahan. To silence them, he claimed they had the shameful and dreaded disease of syphilis. 
   
   
   
  This is the first full account ever written about Dr. Minahan, whose wealth built a college stadium, science hall, and six-story office building—all named for him—while history lost, or perhaps erased, Mary's and Mollie's heroic stories. Until now. 
   
   
   
  Eerily mirroring contemporary debates around gender equality, misinformation, and wealth disparity, this tale remains alarmingly relevant. It is a story of power, abuse, and the tireless pursuit of justice. Delve into this haunting yet inspiring historical tale to uncover the forgotten stories of Mary and Mollie, two courageous women who dared to stand up against a powerful adversary.
