  • AMERICA AT WAR & THE GEMINI TRIGGER - The Hidden 84-Year Pattern That Shapes America's Destiny and the Countdown to the Next War Cycle (2025–2033) - cover

    A warning grounded in history—and the cosmic rhythms that shape it. 
    The Verne Code & The Gemini Trigger, by Jesús Cediel, is a sharp, provocative essay about the crisis unfolding in the United States and its echoes across the world. His central claim is clear: America is entering a historical phase that has, time and again, marked the beginning of revolutions, civil wars, and global realignments. 
    J. Cediel argues that the United States is entering a new historical cycle between 2025 and 2033—a period that mirrors three previous moments of profound upheaval, all of which coincided with a striking astronomical and astrological pattern: the transit of Uranus through Gemini. 
    • the American Revolution (1774–1782) 
    • the Civil War (1858–1866) 
    • and World War II (1941–1949) 
    The Verne Code & The Gemini Trigger uses a compelling narrative style to expose the structural fractures—political, social, economic, and geopolitical—that now threaten to break the United States from within. 
    🔹 How Trump’s reelection could ignite mass resistance and institutional breakdown 
    🔹 How internal conflict could lead to the secession of key states and global destabilization 
    🔹 How China, Russia, and Iran would exploit a divided America 
    🔹 Why this next cycle—2025 to 2033—could be as transformative and violent as those before 
    The Verne Code & The Gemini Trigger is a rigorous historical analysis, backed by the rhythm of past collapses and the cycles of celestial mechanics, written with urgency and clarity. 
    For readers who sense that something is coming—but want to understand the why, the when, and the deeper historical and cosmic patterns behind it.

    In this bold and exhilarating mix of memoir and master class, Melissa Febos tackles the emotional, psychological, and physical work of writing intimately while offering an utterly fresh examination of the storyteller's life and the questions which run through it. 
     
     
      
    How might we go about capturing on the page the relationships that have formed us? How do we write about our bodies, their desires and traumas? What does it mean for an author's way of writing, or living, to be dismissed as "navel-gazing"—or else hailed as "so brave, so raw"? And to whom, in the end, do our most intimate stories belong? 
     
     
      
    Drawing on her own path from aspiring writer to acclaimed author and writing professor—via addiction and recovery, sex work and academia—Melissa Febos has created a captivating guide to the writing life, and a brilliantly unusual exploration of subjectivity, privacy, and the power of divulgence. Candid and inspiring, Body Work will empower readers and writers alike, offering ideas—and occasional notes of caution—to anyone who has ever hoped to see themselves in a story.

    In this book, the events experienced by the Sikhs have been divided into four parts, which include: 
    1. How, before Partition, the Sikhs were used in the struggle for independence, and then after independence, the promises made to the Sikhs were abandoned. 
    2. How, in June 1984, an attack was carried out on Sri Darbar Sahib, and without considering its sanctity and greatness, it was destroyed and labelled as a hideout of terrorists. 
    3. How, after the assassination of Indira Gandhi, atrocities were unleashed upon Sikhs in Delhi and other cities—how they were burned alive and how women were dishonored. 
    4. Finally, how today’s Sikhs are being discriminated against, how the government is trying to suppress them, and what strategies are being devised to weaken them economically. 
    Along with all this, the demands of the Sikhs, the rights of Punjab, and the injustices faced by Punjab and the Sikhs have been discussed with great neutrality and boldness. 
    Let's listen the book.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    A century ago, life was far more fragile. Houses were smaller and colder, transport was slow, food security was uncertain and medical care was limited. Rights and opportunities were often restricted to a privileged few. 
    Today, much of what we take for granted - electricity, clean water, reliable medicine, education, democracy and human rights - has been built on a hundred years of extraordinary change. 
    Then and Now: A Century of Global Progress explores this remarkable transformation, comparing everyday life in 1925 with 2025 across the globe. From housing and health to communication, transport, culture and the environment, it reveals how societies have shifted and how ordinary people’s lives have improved. 
    Through stories and examples from every continent, this book offers more than a history of progress - it is a reminder of how far we’ve come, how resilience and creativity have shaped the modern world and how gratitude and perspective can change the way we see our present and our future. 
    For readers of history, sociology and anyone who wants to appreciate the gift of progress, this is an inspiring journey through the last century of human achievement.

    Take advantage of this three-book bundle, which gives you a better deal than if you were to just buy one of them. The book contains the following titles: 
    Title 1: Gifted children often have a hard time staying focused on one thing, unless it’s something they are passionate about. Then they are hyper-focused. This and other problems can be address when talking to teachers, as well as the fact that some gifted kids seem to underachieve for various reasons. The best ways to motivate your gifted children are here, as well as tactics to deal with bullies, which often target more sensitive and intelligent children. Bullying is one of the last topics addressed in this guide: How to talk about it with the teacher, how to avoid becoming a target more quickly, and how to make it go away. 
    Title 2: In this brief guide to giftedness, we will assess and critically examine the results of IQ-tests and their significance. We will also look at the homework problems many gifted children face, with their particular set of grey matter, and why schools often fail to meet the needs of those same children, because let’s face it: The schools often have no clue what to do with them, how to challenge them properly, or how to adapt a program to their constant drive to explore, discover, and be more creative. 
    Title 3: Most gifted children are intelligent because their senses are sharp and intense, and this can result in strong feelings of self-reflection and dramas over nothing. Sometimes, they may say that things that are easy, are actually hard, or they are unwilling to push through with certain things. So, how do you deal with that? In this book, we’ll talk about that, as well as some of the prevention efforts to make sure your highly intelligent child won’t become the victim of bullying. We’ll also touch on the question of whether you should homeschool your child or not, something that many parents struggle with.
