  As you age, you may find yourself worrying about your memory. Where did I put those car keys? What time was my appointment? What was her name again? With more than 41 million Americans over the age of 65 in the United States, the question becomes how much (or, perhaps, what type) of memory loss is to be expected as one gets older and what should trigger a visit to the doctor. 
   
   
   
  Seven Steps to Managing Your Aging Memory addresses these key concerns and more, such as: 
   
   
   
  ● What are the signs that suggest your memory problems are more than just part of normal aging? 
   
   
   
  ● Is it normal to have concerns about your memory? 
   
   
   
  ● What are the markers of mild cognitive impairment, dementia, Alzheimer's, and other brain diseases? 
   
   
   
  ● How should you talk about your memory concerns to your doctor? What should your doctor do to evaluate your memory? 
   
   
   
  ● Which healthcare professional(s) should you see? What medicines, alternative therapies, diets, and exercises actually work to improve your memory? What other resources are available when dealing with memory loss?

  Starting a software development project is easy … but finishing it? Successfully? is a different story. Software CAN be developed that meets real needs and its development can be both efficient and effective. But. You have to know what you are up against. You need to know what questions to ask and how to understand the answers. 
  A non-technical manager, business owner, or SaaS founder who is responsible for the creation of a software system has a problem. A big problem. Crafting a software system is a complex process fraught with unexpected difficulties, impenetrable jargon, and hidden risks. Overwhelming. 
  Adrift in a "fog of ignorance." You don't even know what you don't know ... 
  The depth of those gaps in your knowledge may be substantial, but they can be filled selectively by reading/learning or by hiring the expertise. But in that "fog of ignorance" there is not even enough information to guide the learning or hiring. 
  This book burns off that fog to at least get you the clarity on what your "gaps in knowledge" are. 
  This book is intended for non tech SaaS founders, managers, and owner/operators who do not have a technical background but who are in a position that includes leading one or more technical projects. A great gift for your PHB. 
  Dr Will has a BS, MS, and PhD all in Computer Science as well as 40+ years managing software projects in the US Air Force, Texas Instruments, Raytheon, Collective Technologies, Club Corp, STX Cadware, and his own business Paladin Logic, Ltd. Dr Will was a pioneer in online instruction for the US Air Force, and has taught courses in Computer Science and Software Engineering at The Air Force Institute of Technology, Navel Postgraduate School, Southern Methodist University, Central Michigan University, and the University of Dallas.

  Cardiology is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of heart conditions and diseases. The field focuses on understanding the intricate workings of the heart and circulatory system, ensuring optimal heart health, and addressing cardiovascular disorders, which are among the leading causes of death worldwide. As the global prevalence of heart disease rises, cardiology has become one of the most important and rapidly evolving fields in modern medicine. Its scope extends from the management of common heart diseases to the exploration of innovative treatments that can significantly improve patient outcomes. 
  The human heart is an extraordinary organ that pumps blood throughout the body, supplying oxygen and nutrients to tissues and organs. Cardiologists specialize in understanding the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the heart, along with how these affect the body’s overall health. Over the years, advancements in medical science, technology, and research have enabled cardiologists to diagnose and treat a wide variety of heart conditions, ranging from common issues such as hypertension and arrhythmias to more complex disorders like coronary artery disease and heart failure. These advancements are the result of groundbreaking discoveries, improved diagnostic methods, and refined therapeutic techniques. 
  In addition to treating existing heart conditions, cardiology also places a strong emphasis on prevention. Preventive cardiology aims to identify risk factors such as high cholesterol, smoking, poor diet, and lack of exercise, which increase the likelihood of heart disease. By promoting a heart-healthy lifestyle and early detection of potential problems, the goal is to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events and improve the quality of life for patients. Public health initiatives and education about cardiovascular risk factors are key components of this preventive approach.

  Ring of Fire - High-Stakes...

  A valuable discovery under the world’s second-largest temperate wetland and in the traditional lands of the Cree and Ojibway casts light on the growing conflict among resource development, environmental stewardship, and Indigenous rights
  		 
  When prospectors discovered a gigantic crescent of metal deposits under the James Bay Lowlands of northern Canada in 2007, the find touched off a mining rush, lured a major American company to spend fortunes in the remote swamp, and forced politicians to confront their legal duty to consult Indigenous Peoples about development on their traditional territories. But the multibillion-dollar Ring of Fire was all but abandoned when stakeholders failed to reach a consensus on how to develop the cache despite years of negotiations and hundreds of millions of dollars in spending. Now plans for an all-weather road to connect the region to the highway network are reigniting the fireworks.
  		 
  In this colorful tale, Virginia Heffernan draws on her bush and newsroom experiences to illustrate the complexities of resource development at a time when Indigenous rights are becoming enshrined globally. Ultimately, Heffernan strikes a hopeful note: the Ring of Fire presents an opportunity for Canada to leave behind centuries of plunder and set the global standard for responsible development of minerals critical to the green energy revolution.
