    Have you been confronted with a medical diagnosis that has altered your otherwise comfortable and peaceful life? 
    Twenty-five years ago, Margaret Weiss, RD , CDCES was happily raising her family in central New Jersey when she was diagnosed with celiac disease. With little support for what was then a relatively unknown condition, she was forced to face her reactions and behaviors as she navigated many, often unpleasant, life changes to accommodate this disease. 
    ·      Are you experiencing a range of emotions and behaviors related to your own condition that you’d like to understand better? 
    ·      Are you interested in behavioral theories that might help explain and guide your actions as you navigate significant change? 
    ·      Are you looking for a way to transform your mindset about your diagnosis with constructive and reliable best practices that are forward-looking and healing? 
    Drawing on her experience as both a person with celiac disease and as a practicing dietitian, Margaret wrote Eat Your Rice Cakes to explore this journey of change. With humor and pragmatism, she speaks to both patients and providers of healthcare with a combination of personal and professional experiences that illustrate our responses to significant upheaval. Told with humor and insight through her eyes, the book offers an inspirational way for all readers to process life-altering change across a wide range of medical disorders with an ultimate vision of empowerment and compassion.

    Relativity is one of the most profound and influential theories in modern physics, fundamentally altering our understanding of space, time, and gravity. Developed by Albert Einstein in the early 20th century, the theory of relativity consists of two main parts: special relativity and general relativity. Special relativity, formulated in 1905, addresses the behavior of objects moving at constant velocity in the absence of gravitational fields, while general relativity, introduced in 1915, extends the principles of special relativity to include the effects of gravity, describing it as a consequence of the curvature of space-time. Together, these theories provide a unified framework for understanding the large-scale structure of the universe, the motion of celestial bodies, and the nature of gravity itself. 
    The foundation of special relativity rests on two key postulates: (1) the laws of physics are the same in all inertial reference frames, and (2) the speed of light in a vacuum is constant for all observers, regardless of their relative motion. These postulates lead to several counterintuitive but experimentally verified consequences, such as time dilation, length contraction, and the relativity of simultaneity. Time dilation implies that a moving clock runs slower relative to a stationary observer, while length contraction means that an object moving at high velocity appears shorter along the direction of motion. The relativity of simultaneity states that two events that are simultaneous in one reference frame may not be simultaneous in another frame moving relative to the first. These effects become significant at velocities approaching the speed of light, where classical mechanics fails to provide accurate predictions.
