  Emmy-award winning broadcast journalist and leading Alzheimer’s advocate Meryl Comer’s Slow Dancing With a Stranger is a profoundly personal, unflinching account of her husband’s battle with Alzheimer’s disease that serves as a much-needed wake-up call to better understand and address a progressive and deadly affliction. 
  When Meryl Comer’s husband Harvey Gralnick was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s disease in 1996, she watched as the man who headed hematology and oncology research at the National Institutes of Health started to misplace important documents and forget clinical details that had once been cataloged encyclopedically in his mind. With harrowing honesty, she brings readers face to face with this devastating condition and its effects on its victims and those who care for them. Detailing the daily realities and overwhelming responsibilities of caregiving, Comer sheds intensive light on this national health crisis, using her personal experiences—the mistakes and the breakthroughs—to put a face to a misunderstood disease, while revealing the facts everyone needs to know. 
  Pragmatic and relentless, Meryl has dedicated herself to fighting Alzheimer’s and raising public awareness. “Nothing I do is really about me; it’s all about making sure no one ends up like me,” she writes. Deeply personal and illuminating, Slow Dancing With a Stranger offers insight and guidance for navigating Alzheimer’s challenges. It is also an urgent call to action for intensive research and a warning that we must prepare for the future, instead of being controlled by a disease and a healthcare system unable to fight it.

  Compiled by two former educators, Relate, Then Educate contains the firsthand stories of sixteen seasoned educators' professional hurdles and personal moments of heartbreak and joy.  To be an educator is to be thrown into the classroom without much practical training. Young teachers can languish for years without knowing if they're "doing it right," and, despite the wealth of tactical curriculum resources available, the intangible needs of educators often go overlooked and unmet. Former educators Rick Holmes and Andrea Avey understand this perspective well; they collected the stories within Relate, Then Educate for teachers seeking experienced insight and support as they decide the trajectory of their career.  This unbiased collection of candid and approachable experiences are written to challenge, inspire, correct, and console teachers—and humans—who need direction. It features stories of unthinkable tragedy, like the tragic death of a student midyear, and rich rewards, like lifelong friendships with students. Relate, Then Educate breaks down each teacher's story into three segments: their path into education, a defining moment in their career, and an instructional best practice.

  Determinism - Fate Coincidence...

  The question of whether humans possess free will has intrigued philosophers, scientists, and thinkers for centuries. At the heart of this debate lies the concept of determinism—the idea that every event or action is the result of preceding causes, governed by laws of nature and logic. If everything that happens is the result of a cause, can we truly say we have control over our decisions? Is free will simply an illusion? These questions challenge our sense of autonomy and personal responsibility, and they invite us to explore the complex relationship between fate, coincidence, and choice. 
  Determinism suggests that all events, including human actions, are preordained by prior causes. From a deterministic standpoint, the universe is a vast, interconnected web of cause and effect, where each moment flows seamlessly from the one before it. This view raises profound questions about the nature of human agency. If every decision we make, every thought we have, and every action we take is determined by a series of preceding events—genetic, environmental, and even cosmic—where does the space for free will lie? Are we merely puppets of fate, our strings pulled by forces beyond our control? 
  However, this deterministic view is not universally accepted. Many philosophers argue that humans can exercise free will—that we have the capacity to make choices independent of the deterministic forces at play. This belief in free will asserts that while factors such as genetics, upbringing, and circumstances may influence our decisions, we retain the ability to act in ways that transcend these influences. The challenge, then, is reconciling the possibility of free will with the idea that many of our actions may be shaped or even constrained by forces outside our conscious control.

  Raja Yoga - Mastery of Mind and...

  Raja Yoga, often referred to as the "Royal Path," is a systematic and disciplined approach to mastering the mind and attaining spiritual realization. It is one of the four primary paths of yoga, alongside Bhakti Yoga (the path of devotion), Karma Yoga (the path of action), and Jnana Yoga (the path of knowledge). Unlike other yogic paths that focus primarily on physical postures, devotion, or intellectual inquiry, Raja Yoga is centered on meditation and self-discipline, guiding the practitioner toward self-mastery and inner peace. 
  The foundation of Raja Yoga lies in the philosophy outlined in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, an ancient text that provides a comprehensive guide to understanding the workings of the mind and the process of achieving higher states of consciousness. Patanjali describes Raja Yoga as an eightfold path, also known as the Ashtanga (Eight Limbs) of Yoga, which serves as a structured roadmap for spiritual evolution. These eight limbs include ethical disciplines, physical postures, breath control, withdrawal of the senses, concentration, meditation, and ultimately, self-realization. 
  At its core, Raja Yoga teaches that the mind is both the greatest obstacle and the most powerful tool on the path to enlightenment. The human mind is often restless, filled with distractions, desires, and attachments that prevent one from experiencing true inner peace. Raja Yoga provides the techniques to tame this restless mind, bringing it under conscious control and aligning it with a higher state of awareness. Through meditation, a practitioner learns to transcend the fluctuations of thought, entering a state of stillness and clarity where deeper truths about existence and the self can be realized.
