  What If You're Right? shows you how to end self-improvement exhaustion and find you are utterly wise, mighty, held, and whole-despite feeling and being told otherwise. 
  Emily Colwell, MSSW, ND-a therapist and physician with a combined thirty years of experience-dispels the myth that we need to look outside ourselves for validation and direction. 
  The lens of wrongness is everywhere in our culture. It convinces us that cues from our minds and bodies are innately incorrect. We're told that being fearful is wrong, being anxious is wrong, having debilitating fatigue is wrong, and so on. 
  But what if our minds and bodies have been right all along? 
  When Emily shifted from seeing her experiences through the lens of wrongness to embracing curiosity in those micro-moments as she navigated chronic illness, thyroid cancer, changing sexual orientation, and childhood trauma, her life underwent a profound transformation. She started to see that her seemingly "wrong" feelings were the body's messengers, offering guidance and wisdom. 
  What If You're Right? will show you: 
  How to stop feeling like a relentless self-improvement project.How to update your relationship with your health challenges, parenting insecurities, body image and more so you can access the relief you've always wanted.How to pause the fight against parts of yourself, including anxiety and fear, that feel wrong, and instead discover how curiosity changes your experience. 
  What if it turns out your rightness is one micro-moment away? The micro-moment offers the invitation to pause and tap into your most powerful, ever-present ally, the one that's been patiently waiting for you to come home.Discover how right you are in a world that makes you feel so wrong.

  We all grow up with the assumption that everybody perceives the world in the same way that we do and, as an adult, live what we feel to be normal lives and interact socially just like anyone else. Imagine what would happen to you if you found out that you are really very different, that you have been compensating all of your life and that what you considered normal behavior was actually an elaborate coping mechanism you had created for yourself. Your world suddenly changes. That's what happened to me when I found out I was face blind.This book recalls numerous true instances from my life that are highly amusing when seen from the point of view of someone who is not face blind. It also provides both an entertaining as well as an enlightening read about the intricate methods I developed in order to get by, and my perception of the world as a person who did not know he was face blind.This book also deals with how my life would have been different if I had learned earlier in life that I was face blind, and how my life dramatically changed after I did learn about it.I conclude with a word of caution to well meaning parents and clinicians who might identify face blindness in their child.This second edition was written six years after the first and includes how I learned to cope with the knowledge I am face blind. I share my coping mechanisms and explain how I am able to deal with people.

  The Silk Road - Trade and...

  The origins of the Silk Road trace back more than two thousand years, to a time when empires rose and sought to expand their influence through exploration, diplomacy, and commerce. The foundation of this vast trade network was laid during the Han Dynasty in China, around the 2nd century BCE. Under Emperor Wu of Han, the empire was looking to form alliances and open communication with regions to the west, particularly to counter nomadic threats like the Xiongnu. In pursuit of this goal, the emperor commissioned a young diplomat named Zhang Qian to journey westward, initiating one of the earliest formal missions that would lead to the opening of trade routes between East and West. 
  Zhang Qian’s expeditions proved to be pivotal. Although his initial mission was met with capture and delays, he eventually succeeded in reaching Central Asia and returning with valuable intelligence about distant peoples and lands. His reports detailed the cultures, resources, and military strength of regions far beyond China’s borders, sparking interest in trade and fostering diplomatic relationships. These journeys laid the groundwork for sustained interaction between distant civilizations and demonstrated the strategic and economic potential of linking east to west. 
  As the Han Dynasty expanded its territory and influence, it secured key routes and established military garrisons along the western frontier. These efforts ensured the safety of merchants and travelers, allowing goods to flow more freely across borders. The Silk Road was not a single road, but rather a network of interconnected paths that stretched from China through Central Asia, reaching all the way to the Mediterranean. It connected cities like Chang’an (modern-day Xi’an), Samarkand, and Antioch, forming a bridge between major civilizations of the time.

  On 10 June 1980, during the Border War, the SADF's 61 Mechanised Battalion Group attacked a complex of Swapo military bases in southern Angola. A long day of bloody fighting ensued.
  Second Lieutenant Paul Louw led Platoon 1, in four Ratel infantry fighting vehicles, to an objective called Smokeshell. After emerging from a dry riverbed, the young national servicemen suddenly found themselves facing a heavily defended enemy position and under deadly fire.
  In the ensuing chaos of that day, 12 troopies of Louw's platoon of 44 were killed and he himself was wounded. The 18-year-old HP Ferreira was shot through the pelvis by a 14,5 mm anti-aircraft round and also hit by AK-47 bullets. He miraculously survived.
  Blood Brothers records the dramatic events of that horrific day, in the words of the survivors of the battle, and follows members of Louw's platoon on their long journey of healing and recovery. It investigates the human cost of war after the last shots have been fired and follows the veterans as they return to the battleground four decades later in search of peace.
