  The Shocking Truth about Housing...

  The housing market is one of the most critical components of any economy, shaping the financial well-being of individuals and the stability of nations. Yet, beneath its surface lies a complex and often troubling reality. While many view homeownership as the ultimate financial milestone, the truth is that housing markets are frequently driven by forces beyond the control of ordinary buyers and sellers. Interest rates, government policies, speculative investments, and economic fluctuations all play a role in determining who can afford a home and who is left behind.  
    
  For decades, the belief that real estate is a safe and reliable investment has been ingrained in society. Homeownership is often associated with security, financial success, and social status. However, history has shown that housing markets are not immune to crises. The 2008 financial collapse, triggered in part by reckless lending and unsustainable housing prices, demonstrated how quickly a seemingly stable market can crumble. While lessons were learned, the fundamental structures that created the crisis remain largely intact, leaving the market vulnerable to similar downturns in the future.  
    
  Government intervention plays a significant role in shaping housing trends. Policies such as tax incentives for homeowners, mortgage rate adjustments, and zoning laws have profound effects on supply and demand. However, these policies do not always benefit the average homebuyer. In many cases, they contribute to rising prices, making housing less affordable for the working and middle classes. Meanwhile, large investors and financial institutions continue to influence markets, purchasing massive amounts of property and driving up costs, often pricing out first-time buyers.

  All children lie. But when your child lies to you, it can feel like a personal betrayal. 
   
      
   
  Lying is a healthy and inevitable part of child development. But when do lies become a problem? In this book, psychologist Victoria Talwar, director of the Talwar Child Development Lab at McGill University, presents practical, science-based strategies to address lying and foster truthfulness in children, from early childhood to the teenage years. 
   
    
    
  Kids need to learn what honesty looks like in different social situations, and also how to tell the truth in ways that do not hurt others' feelings—a complicated task! Parents and caregivers will learn how to use stories and examples to have proactive conversations with children about honesty, and how to model honest behavior for children. Talwar shows listeners how to respond effectively when a child lies (as they inevitably will). Backed by years of psychological research, this common-sense, practical guide reveals which parenting strategies promote truthfulness in children—and which ones don't.

  This book is not about fixing first responders, it is about empowering first responders to care for themselves; and to be better armed to disarm their own stressed responses. The processes shared in this book are simple, fast, and intuitive. Under each first responder's figurative or literal armor is a human doing important work.  
  You have your service weapon, your taser, your pepper spray, and your handcuffs, but your toolbelt is incomplete without your dignity.  
  "The timing of this book couldn't be better to serve as a perfect resource and tool for emotional wellness". - Brad F., Chief of Police 
  "This book is not just a "good read". It is a deep dive into an essential skill for 21st-century police officers". - Rick R., Chaplain 
  Marcel and Dan are teachers, coaches, practitioners, and mindful human beings. Our goal is to be a spark for good a pilot light, always there, ready and waiting to ignite a bigger flame. Our pasts can be broken down into two eras; what we were like before we became emotionally literate and what we are like now.  
  Our highest hope is that you will read these pages and come to realize that t is time for you to reconsider your emotional understanding and competence for the sake of your well-being and the well-being of those you care about.

  The world gasped in April 2015 as Baltimore erupted and Black Lives Matter activists, incensed by Freddie Gray's brutal death in police custody, shut down highways and marched on city streets. In The Black Butterfly—a reference to the fact that Baltimore's majority-Black population spreads out on both sides of the coveted strip of real estate running down the center of the city like a butterfly's wings—Lawrence T. Brown reveals that ongoing historical trauma caused by a combination of policies, practices, systems, and budgets is at the root of uprisings and crises in hypersegregated cities around the country. 
   
   
   
  Putting Baltimore under a microscope, Brown looks closely at the causes of segregation, many of which exist in current legislation and regulatory policy. Drawing on social science research, policy analysis, and archival materials, Brown reveals the long history of racial segregation's impact on health, from toxic pollution to police brutality. 
   
   
   
  Brown offers a clear five-step plan for activists, nonprofits, and public officials to achieve racial equity. Brown offers up a wide range of innovative solutions to help heal and restore redlined Black neighborhoods, including municipal reparations. The Black Butterfly demonstrates that America cannot reflect that Black lives matter until we see how Black neighborhoods matter.
