Beschreibung

Titus Flavius Josephus was a first-century Romano-Jewish scholar, historian and hagiographer, who was born in Jerusalem—then part of Roman Judea—to a father of priestly descent and a mother who claimed royal ancestry. He initially fought against the Romans during the First Jewish–Roman War as head of Jewish forces in Galilee, until surrendering in 67 CE to Roman forces led by Vespasian after the six-week siege of Jotapata. After Vespasian became Emperor in 69 CE, he granted Josephus his freedom, at which time Josephus assumed the emperor's family name of Flavius. He fully defected to the Roman side and was granted Roman citizenship. Josephus recorded Jewish history, with special emphasis on the first century CE and the First Jewish–Roman War, including the Siege of Masada. His most important works were The Jewish War and Antiquities of the Jews.

    New neuroscience research is showing us the long-term impact that reading aloud has on children, stretching all the way into adulthood. We have always known that reading aloud is an important way to bond with your baby and develop language skills. But the latest research, led by author Rekha S.

The Read Aloud Factor gives parents and caretakers what they need to make read-alouds a regular and enjoyable part of the family routine. This innovative book shares the latest research on brain development, describes how reading aloud supports language and social-emotional development, and provides ideas for integrating STEAM practices of reading aloud with arts and technology. The scientific insight that inspired this project is distilled into accessible, actionable information for parents and educators on how to read aloud in an effective, engaging, and meaningful way. The key to the book is its accessible approach, which combines findings from the most modern research to provide new pathways for parents and caregivers to support their baby's development.

    Retirement homes have long been presented as safe, comfortable spaces where the elderly can receive the care and attention they need. Advertisements and brochures paint a picture of vibrant communities where seniors enjoy social engagement, personalized assistance, and a high quality of life. However, the reality is often far different from the promises made by these facilities. Beneath the polished marketing lies a world filled with hidden fees, chronic understaffing, cases of neglect, and, in some instances, outright abuse. Families who entrust their loved ones to these institutions frequently find themselves disillusioned and powerless when the level of care does not meet expectations.  
      
    As the global population ages, the demand for elderly care continues to rise. Many families struggle to provide adequate care for aging relatives due to financial constraints, work obligations, or a lack of medical expertise. This increasing need has turned the elder care industry into a multi-billion-dollar business, where profit often takes precedence over patient well-being. While some retirement homes genuinely strive to offer excellent care, far too many are plagued by systemic issues that compromise residents’ safety and dignity. Reports of malnutrition, unsanitary conditions, and inadequate medical supervision are disturbingly common, highlighting the urgent need for greater oversight and reform.  
      
    One of the biggest misconceptions about retirement homes is that they provide consistent, high-quality care tailored to each resident’s needs. In reality, many facilities operate with skeleton staff, forcing overworked caregivers to juggle multiple responsibilities with little time for individual attention. Underfunding and mismanagement lead to situations where residents’ health deteriorates due to neglect, improper medication administration, and a lack of emotional support.
