  Practical strategies that work when dementia behaviors feel impossible to manage 
   
  In The Dementia Care Toolkit, board-certified geropsychologist Dr. Natali Edmonds delivers what the healthcare system cannot—practical, compassionate strategies that actually work in real homes when behaviors won't stop and caregivers don't know what to do next. Unlike clinical textbooks that explain what dementia is, this toolkit shows caregivers what they can do. Edmonds provides clear strategies to respond effectively in the moment, reduce how often difficult behaviors happen, and prevent them altogether. The emphasis on both real-time response and proactive prevention sets this approach apart from generic advice. 
   
  Listeners will also find: concrete, actionable tools tested with thousands of families that replace panic with a clear plan for challenging moments; behavior-specific strategies rooted in real-life situations and caregiver stories, not textbook theory that falls apart in practice; guidance from an Iraq war veteran and geropsychologist who understands both high-stress situations and the emotional toll of caregiving; proactive prevention techniques that help caregivers reduce the frequency of difficult behaviors before they escalate into crises; and compassionate support for managing caregiver guilt, fear, and burnout while building confidence in even the hardest caregiving moments. 
   
  The Dementia Care Toolkit serves family caregivers navigating daily behavioral challenges at home. Healthcare professionals, support group leaders, and aging organizations will also find practical resources for the families they serve.

  Autism and Standard of Living -...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. What if the comforts of modern life are quietly harming the youngest among us? 
   
  In “Autism and Standard of Living”, Zivota Nikolic takes a bold step outside conventional medical thinking to explore how contemporary living spaces and environmental design may be contributing to the alarming rise in autism diagnoses. Drawing on years of independent research, Nikolic examines how poor ventilation, sealed environments, and rising carbon dioxide levels in homes, hospitals, and schools could be impacting early brain development—especially in infants and toddlers. 
   
  This book doesn’t attempt to replace scientific consensus but instead invites a closer look at what has long been overlooked. Nikolic blends architecture, environmental science, and developmental biology to present a compelling case for rethinking the way we live, sleep, and raise our children. He questions the design of baby cribs, the configuration of HVAC systems, and the very standards by which modern buildings are constructed. 
   
  If you’ve ever wondered why autism rates have surged in recent decades despite advances in medicine, this thought-provoking investigation offers a fresh lens. With clarity, logic, and urgency, “Autism and Standard of Living” challenges readers to see the unseen—and consider practical solutions rooted in simple changes to our surroundings. 
   
  This is not just a book about autism. It is a call to rethink what we call progress.

  You are an Agile Coach and your client has asked you a question.  He is an engineering manager and the company has just announced a "work from home" policy.   Developers may now work from home instead of coming to the office. 
  The Engineering Manager has asked you if there are any "Agile Metrics" he can use to make sure his developers stay busy and are not being lazy.  He is investigating software to record when people log in and log out, and count their keystrokes in between. 
  What should you tell him to do? 
  This case and the others in the series come from the real-world experiences of a group of Scrum professionals who meet regularly to discuss the Scrum Framework and how to apply it to actual situations they have encountered.  These discussions have been led since 2015 by Frederik Mark Fowler, A Doctor of Scrum and Holder of the Professional Scrum Master level III certification awarded by Scrum.org.  Fred has worked with the Scrum Framework for almost 20 years and has trained more then 300 people to become Scrum Masters and Product Owners.
