    And so we were wanting to discuss the significance of the new book. We even know you are questioning the title of this, it wasn't about opening up your mindset, it was about understanding the significance of the written text, once again, and how that can be so profound, and absorption of the information is easier to digest. We see that the voice and the words through the videos with the sound can almost put people into a hypnotic state themselves, where they are not even able to consciously absorb and follow the information. They find that they have to keep listening to the sessions many times because they just go into a very relaxed trance state themselves where they're getting their own upgrades and epiphanies and senses of their own higher versions of selves and other multi-dimensional aspects of self. 
    This is going to be a profound book that we view this as, because this is the teachings of Jesus. And while we were giving you strong senses that we did not want you to abuse or label the name of him because of the misperceptions of who he is, and who he stands for; we see many people reluctant to be interested in what that man had to say, because they have still got a firm attachment to him being a part of a religion that may have been part of their inner childhood trauma or work, not just this lifetime. We know many who are still traumatized by being killed for a religion, either because they did not comply or they were trying to share other perspectives of religion. So there is much to be said about what religion has done to humanity. And of course, it's human free-will choices. But the truth has almost been so hidden from humanity that the truth has been so watered down and twisted with opinions. It's been a total manipulation for many. This is Earth's history. We cannot pretend it has not been as such.

    The Zelensky Effect

    With Russian shells raining on Kyiv and tanks closing in, American forces prepared to evacuate Ukraine's leader. Just three years earlier, his apparent main qualification had been playing a president on TV. But Volodymyr Zelensky reportedly retorted, 'I need ammunition, not a ride.' Ukrainian forces won the battle for Kyiv, ensuring their country's independence even as a longer war began for the southeast. 
     
     
     
    You cannot understand the historic events of 2022 without understanding Zelensky. But the Zelensky effect is less about the man himself than about the civic nation he embodies: what makes Zelensky most extraordinary in war is his very ordinariness as a Ukrainian. 
     
     
     
    The Zelensky Effect explains this paradox, exploring Ukraine's national history to show how its now-iconic president reflects the hopes and frustrations of the country's first 'independence generation'. Interweaving social and political background with compelling episodes from Zelensky's life and career, this is the story of Ukraine told through the journey of one man who has come to symbolize his country.

    Part of the Hero Classics series 
    “Everyone sees what you appear to be, few experience what you really are.” 
    The Prince is generally labelled as a cynical and overly pragmatic account of gaining and retaining political power. It is a significant deviation from the righteous meditations of Plato and Aristotle, which emphasise the goodness of human nature. Living in a harsh political climate, Machiavelli devised a more practical and true-to-life guide for leaders who cannot possibly be always good and just. For instance, he talks among other things about the importance to inflict pain all at once but distribute the rewards available gradually and in limited amounts. Besides, the idea that ‘the ends justify the means’ had never been featured in literature so prominently and openly before. Far-fetched at first glance, Machiavelli’s insights after some analysis starts making practical sense when every state and society need to maintain one thing – stability. 
    Although not idealistic, the text is undeniably valid as we can easily track the Prince’s features in the best and the worst political leaders of the previous century who are united by the amount of power they were able to exerts – from political heroes such as Churchill and JFK to fascist and communist dictators. In the modern world, The Prince is a viable manual of conduct more than ever with the intense demand for competitiveness not only in the political but equally in business and other spheres. 
    The text is also famous for being written in the vernacular rather than in classical Latin. What might surprise modern readers is that, actually, this peculiarity halted the text’s dissemination across Europe as most translations were still done from Latin. The text nevertheless has reached its audience and become one of the most recognizable and accessible reads on politics and leadership.

    Hot Hot Chicken - A Nashville Story

    These days, hot chicken is a "must-try" Southern food. Restaurants in New York, Detroit, Cambridge, and even Australia advertise that they fry their chicken "Nashville-style." Thousands of people attend the Music City Hot Chicken Festival each year. The James Beard Foundation has given Prince's Chicken Shack an American Classic Award for inventing the dish. 
     
     
     
    But for almost seventy years, hot chicken was made and sold primarily in Nashville's Black neighborhoods—and the story of hot chicken says something powerful about race relations in Nashville, especially as the city tries to figure out what it will be in the future. 
     
     
     
    Hot, Hot Chicken recounts the history of Nashville's Black communities through the story of its hot chicken scene from the Civil War, when Nashville became a segregated city, through the tornado that ripped through North Nashville in March 2020.
