  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  "Written in Red" by Anne Bishop explores a world where humans coexist uneasily with the terra indigene, or Others, who are the true rulers of the planet. The story follows Meg Corbyn, a woman on the run from a mysterious past, who seeks refuge in a Courtyard controlled by the Others, and the leader of the Lakeside Courtyard, Simon Wolfgard. The book delves into the complexities of their world, where human law does not apply and the Others maintain control of natural resources and power. As Meg navigates the dangers of her new surroundings and works as the Human Liaison, she also confronts her own personal demons and a vision of her death. The narrative balances themes of safety and danger, and explores the nature of tolerance, trust and survival in a world full of conflict and suspicion.

  Medical research is the backbone of advancing healthcare, providing critical insights that shape clinical practices, influence public health policies, and guide the development of new treatments. The primary goal of medical research is to generate reliable and reproducible evidence that can inform decisions on diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases. By understanding the methods of medical research, healthcare professionals and researchers can better evaluate, design, and implement studies that contribute to improving patient care. 
  The importance of research in medicine cannot be overstated, as it allows for the discovery of new knowledge, the development of innovative therapies, and the evaluation of existing medical practices. Medical research has been instrumental in reducing mortality rates, improving the quality of life, and enhancing the effectiveness of treatments. Moreover, it plays a crucial role in addressing emerging health challenges, such as pandemics, chronic diseases, and antimicrobial resistance. 
  At the heart of medical research are study designs, which dictate the methodology for investigating hypotheses and answering research questions. Different types of research designs are used depending on the objectives of the study, the nature of the research question, and the available resources. These designs are broadly categorized into two types: experimental and observational. Experimental designs, such as randomized controlled trials (RCTs), involve the manipulation of variables to test the effects of an intervention, whereas observational designs, such as cohort or case-control studies, examine associations without direct manipulation. Each design has its strengths and limitations, and the choice of design depends on the specific research question, ethical considerations, and feasibility.

  Relate then Educate - The Untold...

  Compiled by two former educators, Relate, Then Educate contains the firsthand stories of sixteen seasoned educators' professional hurdles and personal moments of heartbreak and joy.  To be an educator is to be thrown into the classroom without much practical training. Young teachers can languish for years without knowing if they're "doing it right," and, despite the wealth of tactical curriculum resources available, the intangible needs of educators often go overlooked and unmet. Former educators Rick Holmes and Andrea Avey understand this perspective well; they collected the stories within Relate, Then Educate for teachers seeking experienced insight and support as they decide the trajectory of their career.  This unbiased collection of candid and approachable experiences are written to challenge, inspire, correct, and console teachers—and humans—who need direction. It features stories of unthinkable tragedy, like the tragic death of a student midyear, and rich rewards, like lifelong friendships with students. Relate, Then Educate breaks down each teacher's story into three segments: their path into education, a defining moment in their career, and an instructional best practice.
