Summary

Metacomet (1638–1676), also known by his adopted English name King Philip, was chief to the Wampanoag people and the second son of the sachem Massasoit. He became a chief in 1662 when his brother Wamsutta (or King Alexander) died shortly after their father Massasoit. Wamsutta's widow Weetamoo (d. 1676), sunksqua of the Pocasset, was Metacomet's ally and friend for the rest of her life. Metacomet married Weetamoo's younger sister Wootonekanuske. No one knows how many children they had or what happened to them all. Wootonekanuske and one of their sons were sold to slavery in the West Indies following the defeat of the Native Americans in what became known as King Philip's War.

    Mind Control - Techniques to...

    Mind control is the practice of influencing, manipulating, or dominating an individual’s thoughts, behaviors, or perceptions, often without their conscious awareness. Throughout history, different societies have employed various forms of psychological influence to control groups and individuals, from religious indoctrination to political propaganda and media conditioning. While some forms of persuasion are ethical and openly acknowledged, mind control often operates in subtle, deceptive ways, making it difficult for individuals to recognize or resist. 
    At its core, mind control exploits human cognitive vulnerabilities. The mind is naturally susceptible to suggestion, repetition, and emotional influence. When exposed to specific messages or ideas repeatedly, a person may begin to internalize them as truth, even in the absence of logical evidence. This principle is used in advertising, politics, religious movements, and personal relationships to shape opinions and behaviors. Whether through fear, guilt, reward, or isolation, those seeking control can manipulate their targets into conforming to specific beliefs or actions. 
    One of the most effective tools of mind control is misinformation. By distorting reality or presenting selective facts, individuals or institutions can shape perceptions to suit their own agendas. Governments have historically used propaganda to maintain control over populations, while corporations use psychological tactics to influence consumer behavior. In personal relationships, emotional abusers use manipulation techniques such as gaslighting to make their victims question their own perceptions and reality.

    Following Russia's aggressive war in Ukraine, the world is suddenly gripped by concerns over energy security. And yet, there is an even greater threat ahead – one that is much more likely to shape the events of the twenty-first century than the competition for oil or gas.
    The combination of an ever-increasing global population, climate change, industrialisation, urbanisation and limited natural resources means that one difficulty, above all, will shape the political, economic and security environment in the years ahead: that is water. If people and nations will fight for fossil fuels, it is nothing compared to what they will do for the most vital natural resource of all.
    As both a citizen who has supported water charities and worked in the NHS and a politician who has dealt with security and economic issues, Liam Fox tells the story of water and the problems it presents in a more complete way than ever before. The Coming Storm unites a range of concerns that are often written about separately but seldom together and provides a comprehensible and compelling call for urgent action.

    Magic. Mayhem. Soap. 
    Who better to ask about soap magic than a psychic, right? Well, I'm not convinced either, but if the soap works on the magically inclined as well as on other people, then that's not an opportunity for me to waste. And this is how I ended up in a pile of pillows, with the psychic under me, over me, and pretty much all around me. And one day, an archaeologist might discover under all those pillows a position we haven't tried yet, but until then, this was more than I had actually hoped for. 
    So, well, the third part of Soap Magic gets us through all the things lesbians can do to and with each other, including, but not limited to, pillow sex. Also conains soap.

    The plan works even if you have $0 to your name and currently make minimum wage. 
    If you have nothing to your name and currently only make minimum wage, it can take up to 20 years. 
    Otherwise, if you are already partway there, it will happen faster for you. 
    It might sound sensational, but at the end of the day, setting yourself up for retirement is just a matter of simple math and consistent long-term self-discipline. It is as extremely easy, completely realistic, and actually unavoidable as it is for an obese person who is 200 lbs overweight to lose that weight and keep it off by following a certain diet plan with a certain calorie budget. 
    This is not a get-rich-quick scheme. This is not the crash diet of financial plans. This is a long-term plan that uses the power of consistency, self-discipline, and exponential growth to generate seemingly incredible results over the long-term. But they only seem incredible. Ultimately, it is simple math, and the real power comes simply from you having the self-discipline to follow the plan consistently year after year.

    The School And Society

    "School and Society" is a book written by John Dewey, a philosopher and educator, in 1899. In this book, Dewey advocates for a more progressive and democratic approach to education that emphasizes the importance of practical learning and social experience. 
    Dewey argues that traditional education, which focuses on rote memorization and standardized testing, fails to prepare students for real-life situations and inhibits their ability to think critically and creatively. Instead, he suggests that education should be based on the interests and experiences of the students, and should involve hands-on activities and problem-solving exercises. 
    Furthermore, Dewey believes that education should not be isolated from society, but should be integrated into the community and reflect the values and needs of the society. He asserts that education should help students develop social consciousness and promote democracy by encouraging cooperation, tolerance, and social responsibility. 
    Overall, "School and Society" is a seminal work in the history of education, as it paved the way for the development of progressive education, which continues to influence educational theory and practice to this day
