  The 1906-1910 Cubs Dynasty -...

  A Cubs dynasty founded on fastballs and fisticuffs.   Unlike today's Chicago Cubs, the Cubs of 1906-1910 were not at all lovable, and certainly did not always display traits customarily linked with a winning team. Their manager would brawl with his own players, and the players brawled with each other. Their second baseman and shortstop hated each other and didn't speak for years. Their best pitcher pitched with a mutilated hand. Their star catcher got into a spat with management and left the team for a year to play professional billiards. Their manager over time grew to despise the team owner. Yet, this group of brawlers, bickerers, and battlers dominated the National League and established a baseball dynasty, winning four National League pennants and two world championships in 5 years. Author Gary D. Santella follows the story of a team whose toughness and tenacity was a fitting reflection of early twentieth-century Chicago.

  The Shocking Truth about...

  Emergency preparedness is no longer an option—it is a necessity. With the increasing frequency of natural disasters, pandemics, and unforeseen crises, individuals and communities must be ready to respond at a moment’s notice. Whether it’s a hurricane, wildfire, power outage, or civil unrest, the ability to react swiftly can mean the difference between safety and catastrophe. Unfortunately, too many people remain unprepared, relying on the assumption that government agencies or emergency responders will handle everything. While these organizations play a crucial role, personal preparedness is the first line of defense in any crisis.  
    
  One of the most significant misconceptions about emergency preparedness is that disasters are rare or unlikely to happen. However, global trends suggest otherwise. Climate change has intensified storms, heatwaves, and flooding events, making them more frequent and severe. Earthquakes and wildfires continue to threaten communities worldwide. Beyond natural disasters, cyberattacks, supply chain disruptions, and public health emergencies have highlighted vulnerabilities in modern societies. The COVID-19 pandemic was a stark reminder of how quickly daily life can be upended, leaving many scrambling for essential supplies and reliable information.  
    
  Preparedness goes beyond simply stocking up on food and water. It involves understanding risks, developing an action plan, and ensuring that essential resources are available when needed. A well-thought-out emergency plan includes knowing evacuation routes, securing important documents, and maintaining a communication strategy with family and friends. In an emergency, panic and confusion can lead to dangerous decisions. Those who prepare in advance are better equipped to make rational choices and protect themselves and their loved ones.

  Behind the Lens - The World...

  A one-of-a-kind collection including some never-before-seen photographs of the wild and unforgettable WHA from legendary sports photographer Steve Babineau
  		
  		 
  On October 12, 1972, legendary Boston sports photographer, Steve Babineau, was in attendance for the debut of the New England Whalers. They were taking on the Philadelphia Blazers at the old Boston Garden — and Babs was shooting the action. Fifty years later, he’s still photographing big-league sports events — but this lovingly curated collection documents both his earliest published (and unseen) works and the wild emergence of the colorful, revolutionary, wild, and unforgettable WHA.
  		 
  In an era when rolls of film still had to be changed by hand and cameras were focused manually, when arena lighting was questionable and images had to be captured through the haze produced by smoking fans, Babineau captured it all: the timeless legends who were finally getting paid, the journeymen who finally got a shot at the pros, the 17-year-old who would go on to rewrite record books, the brawls and goals, the glorious ’staches and flows, the highs and the lows …
  		 
  Behind the Lens: The World Hockey Association 50 Years Later has the Golden Jet and the Howes, the teams that seemed to change names and cities as often as some players changed wooden sticks, and even the true origin story of that Wayne Gretzky photo that’s become the million-dollar holy grail for sports card collectors.

To put things shortly, in order to build muscle like you want, you need to create a muscle-building lifestyle and really get your head in the game.

  Sent blind soon after birth David Hume stubbornly refused to live the limited life well-meaning elders and social norms expected. 'I do not wake in the morning and regret I'm blind. No, I wake and look to another win in a busy life.' To date, that encompasses years in a blind institute, two marriages, grieving for two outstanding wives, founding recruiting firms, devising marketing techniques, facing business collapse, sailing ocean races and through much of it, being the lead singer in popular bands. If you enjoy a short biography that inspires, saddens, cheers and sticks in your memory, then don't put aside Blind Without Barriers.
