  What We Owe the Future

  An Oxford philosopher makes the case for “longtermism”—that positively influencing the long-term future is a key moral priority of our time 
   
  The fate of the world is in our hands. Humanity’s written history spans only five thousand years. Our yet-unwritten future could last for millions more—or it could end tomorrow. Astonishing numbers of people could lead lives of great happiness or unimaginable suffering, or never live at all, depending on what we choose to do today. 
    
  In What We Owe The Future, philosopher William MacAskill argues for longtermism, that idea that positively influencing the distant future is a key moral priority of our time. From this perspective, it’s not enough to reverse climate change or avert the next pandemic. We must ensure that civilization would rebound if it collapsed; counter the end of moral progress; and prepare for a planet where the smartest beings are digital, not human. 
    
  If we put humanity’s course to right, our grandchildren’s grandchildren will thrive, knowing we did everything we could to give them a world full of justice, hope, and beauty.

  A radical transformation in the psyche itself," 8 November 1968. Duration: 80 minutes.To communicate we must know that the word is not the thing and also be in that state of mind whose quality is attention, care. That can take place only if we are serious.We are the world, and the world is us. To bring about a radical transformation, which is so essential in society, there must be radical transformation in ourselves.Analysis of violence does not end violence, nor is violence ended by thinking of nonviolence.There is no teacher outside, no saviour, no master; you yourself have to change, and therefore you have to learn to observe, to know yourself.Knowledge and learning are two different things.What is this silence you talk about? The silence that I am experiencing comes and goes."Thought is the cause of fear," 10 November 1968. Duration: 76 minutes.Though we have plenty of energy, apparently we lack the drive, enthusiasm, vitality to bring about a change in ourselves.As long as there is fear, there must be violence, aggression, anger, hatred. Thought is the source of fear.Is it possible to live everyday life without thought interfering?

  Part memoir, part oral history, #1 New York Times bestselling author Sherryl Woods gives us a rare and intimate look at Colonial Beach, Virginia. Rich in narrative history and local color, A Small Town Love Story: Colonial Beach, Virginia is an homage to the town of Sherryl Woods's summers, a place that stole her heart long ago and provided the basis for the many fictional small towns in her bestselling novels. True to Woods's signature style of focusing on characters who are at the center of their communities, here she has woven together the stories of the very real people who helped shape this seaside Virginia town. She takes us back to the days of her own family gatherings, artfully capturing the unique essence of Colonial Beach and making us yearn for small-town life. Woods's own memories frame the true stories she features—from the unique history of Colonial Beach itself to some firsthand accounts of the Oyster Wars that once consumed the community, to the stories of neighborhood merchants who made it a point to know just about every customer by name. From farmers to restauranteurs and hoteliers, from pastors to librarians and military folk, Woods's research and interviews give life to the personalities of a very special place.

  Little Jamey, 2½ years old, is placed with experienced foster carer, Cathy Glass, as an emergency. 
  The police and social services have no choice but to remove two-year-old Jamey from home after his mother leaves him alone all night to go out partying. 
  When he first arrives with foster carer Cathy Glass, he is scared, hungry and withdrawn, craving the affection he has been denied for so long. He is small for his age and unsteady on his feet – a result of being left for long periods in his cot. 
  Cathy and her family find Jamey very easy to love, but as he settles in and makes progress, a new threat emerges. Coronavirus and lockdown change everything. 
  In her latest bestseller, Neglected, Cathy Glass, the Sunday Times bestselling author, explores the world of fostering. The book, a personal biography, delves into the challenges of adoption, the impact of abuse on a child, and the additional trials brought on by the Coronavirus pandemic. 
  For fans of Ann Cusack (The Convent), Joe Cusack (Please Don't Leave Me), Linda Watson-Brown (Please Save Me), Maggie Hartley (Please Help My Mummy), and Kat Ward (KERI 4).
