  You may never visit the Gettysburg battlefield, but understanding historic lessons from Battle Tested! will have a profound influence on not only your leadership abilities, but also your life, organizations, and career. 
   
   
   
  In order to be a truly effective leader, it is necessary to learn as much as possible from the examples of history—the disasters as well as the triumphs. At Gettysburg, Union and Confederate commanders faced a series of critical leadership challenges under the enormous stress of combat. The fate of the nation hung in the balance. These leaders each responded in different ways, but the concepts and principles they applied during those traumatic three days contain critical lessons for today's leaders that are both useful and applicable—whether those leaders manage operations at a large corporation, supervise a public institution, lead an athletic team, or govern a state or municipality. 
   
     
   
  In the twenty-first century, leadership is the indispensable quantity that separates successful organizations from failures. Successful leaders communicate vision, motivate team members, and inspire trust. One must move both people and the collective organization into the future while, at the same time, dealing with the past. A leader must learn to master the dynamic requirements of decision-making and change.

  Ancient Egyptian Festivals -...

  Festivals played a central role in the cultural and religious life of ancient Egypt. These grand celebrations were not just an occasion for communal enjoyment but were deeply tied to the spiritual and societal fabric of the civilization. They served as a means of honoring gods and goddesses, ensuring the prosperity of the land, and reinforcing the divine order, which was vital for the Egyptians. The festivals helped to maintain cosmic balance and provided a way for the people to connect with the divine. 
  The ancient Egyptians viewed the natural and spiritual worlds as intricately linked. Their gods were believed to control all aspects of life, from the annual flooding of the Nile to the harvests and the afterlife. Therefore, festivals were seen as essential in securing divine favor and maintaining order. These events allowed the people to express their devotion, offering prayers, sacrifices, and rituals to appease the gods. For instance, the Festival of Opet, one of the most significant, symbolized the renewal of the king’s power and his bond with the gods. It was an opportunity for the people to reassert their allegiance to the pharaoh, who was seen as the living deity on earth. 
  In addition to reinforcing the divine relationship, festivals also played a key role in community cohesion. The ancient Egyptians, despite the challenges of life, were brought together by shared rituals and celebrations. This unity was expressed in grand processions, feasts, music, and dance, where the people could experience a sense of collective identity. These events transcended social status and served as a reminder of the interconnectedness of all people under the divine. Festivals were not just for the elite but were a part of the communal life, extending to all citizens, from farmers to nobles.

  A deep-dive investigation of education privatization that reveals voucher programs as the faulty products of decades of work by wealthy patrons and influential conservatives 
   
   
   
  This thought-provoking work traces the origins of voucher-based education reform to mid-twentieth-century fears over school desegregation. It shows how, in the intervening decades, a cabal of billionaire conservatives supporting a host of special political interests—including economic libertarianism, religious choice, and parental rights—have converged around the issue of education freedom in an ongoing culture war. Through deliberate policymaking, legislation, and litigation, Cowen reveals, an insular advocacy network has enacted a flawed system for education finance driven largely by dogma. 
   
   
   
  Far from realizing the purported goal of educational equity, privatization is failing students and exacerbating income inequality, Cowen finds. He cites multiple research studies that conclude that voucher programs return poorer academic outcomes, including lower test scores on state exams, especially among students who are at greater academic risk because of their race, their religion, their gender identity, or their family's income. Continued advancement of these policies, Cowen argues, is an assault on public education as a defining American institution.

  The root of all suffering is attachment and desire 
  Buddha 
  Buddha said that “the root of suffering is attachment and desire.” But what does attachment and desire exactly mean? It's basically what we do when we hold on to things in an effort to find happiness and comfort. We don't just cling to things that give us joy, but we also cling to something because we're afraid to let go of them as well.

  Boldly claiming a space in which people with disabilities can be seen and heard as they are—not as others perceive them—About Us captures the voices of a community that has for too long been stereotyped and misrepresented. Speaking not only to those with disabilities, but also to their families, coworkers, and support networks, the authors in About Us offer intimate stories of how they navigate a world not built for them. 
   
   
   
  Since its 2016 debut, the popular New York Times "Disability" column has transformed the national dialogue around disability. Now, echoing the refrain of the disability rights movement, "Nothing about us without us," this landmark collection gathers the most powerful essays from the series that speak to the fullness of human experience—stories about first romance, childhood shame and isolation, segregation, professional ambition, child-bearing and parenting, aging and beyond. 
   
   
   
  Reflecting on the fraught conversations around disability—from the friend who says "I don't think of you as disabled," to the father who scolds his child with attention differences, "Stop it stop it stop it what is wrong with you?"—the stories here reveal the range of responses, and the variety of consequences, to being labeled as "disabled" by the broader public.
