Learn Before Flight - All the rules to become a pilot

Luca Nabacino

Sinopse

We aimed to condense everything you need to know to enter the world of European civil aviation. We've outlined the courses, prerequisites, privileges associated with each license and rating, and both the theoretical and practical pathways, including their requirements and challenges. We have provided helpful advice to assist you in making personal decisions freely and independently. There is no single "best" path; rather, each person must make informed choices, and we've tried to highlight the parameters to consider when doing so. 
 
Aware that flight schools invest significant time in providing the essential information to lower entry barriers into the aviation world, we compiled this information to offer a tool that saves time, standardizes details, and serves as a guideline for communication. We've also included a section addressing the roles and responsibilities of students towards schools and vice versa, which can serve as a foundation for internal regulations and contractual agreements.

The Advanced Gardener - Expert...

Gertrude Harris

Understanding soil is the foundation of expert gardening. Long before a seed is sown or a plant is placed, a gardener must come to know the very material in which all life begins—soil. It is far more than just “dirt.” Soil is a complex, living ecosystem composed of minerals, organic matter, air, water, and billions of microscopic organisms that work together to support plant health and productivity.
At its most basic, soil consists of three primary particle types: sand, silt, and clay. The proportion of these particles defines the soil’s texture, which in turn affects drainage, aeration, and nutrient availability. Loam—often considered the ideal garden soil—is a balanced mix of all three, offering optimal conditions for plant growth. However, very few gardeners are gifted with perfect loam, and understanding your soil's unique texture is the first step in learning how to work with it or improve it.
Beyond texture, soil structure plays a critical role. Good structure means that soil particles bind together into aggregates, which allow roots to penetrate easily, promote proper water retention and drainage, and create a hospitable environment for beneficial organisms. Soil compaction, on the other hand, restricts root growth and limits access to air and nutrients. Regular use of mulch, compost, and cover crops can significantly enhance structure over time.
Another key aspect of advanced soil science is understanding pH. Most garden plants prefer a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0), but some, like blueberries or azaleas, require more acidic conditions. Testing your soil’s pH—and knowing how to adjust it using lime or sulfur—can make the difference between thriving and struggling plants.

For a Dollar and a Dream - State...

Jonathan D. Cohen

Every week, one in eight Americans place a bet on the dream of a life-changing lottery jackpot. Americans spend more on lottery tickets annually than on video streaming services, concert tickets, books, and movie tickets combined. 
 
 
 
The story of lotteries in the United States may seem straightforward: tickets are bought predominately by poor people driven by the wishful belief that they will overcome infinitesimal odds and secure lives of luxury. The reality is more complicated. For a Dollar and a Dream shows how, in an era of stagnant upward mobility, millions of Americans turned to the lottery as their only chance at achieving the American Dream. Gamblers were not the only ones who bet on betting. As voters revolted against higher taxes in the late twentieth century, states saw legalized gambling 
as a panacea, a way of generating revenue without cutting public services or raising taxes. Alongside stories of lottery winners and losers, Jonathan Cohen shows how gamblers have used prayer to help them win a jackpot, how states tried to pay for schools with scratch-off tickets, and how lottery advertising has targeted lower income and nonwhite communities. 
 
 
 
For a Dollar and a Dream charts the untold history of the nation's lottery system, revealing how players and policymakers alike got hooked on hopes for a gambling windfall.

The Middle Kingdom of Egypt - A...

Omar Khalil

The Middle Kingdom of Egypt marked a transformative period following the turmoil of the First Intermediate Period. This era, spanning roughly from 2050 to 1710 BCE, saw the reunification of Egypt under the leadership of Mentuhotep II, the pharaoh who established stability after years of political fragmentation. As the nation emerged from chaos, the Middle Kingdom laid the foundations for a revitalized state, fostering political, cultural, and economic growth.
The collapse of the Old Kingdom had left Egypt divided, with rival factions vying for control. This power vacuum led to the rise of regional rulers known as nomarchs, whose increasing autonomy weakened central authority. The struggle for dominance between these local leaders marked the First Intermediate Period, characterized by instability and fragmented governance. However, the emergence of Mentuhotep II, a ruler from Thebes, marked a turning point. Determined to restore order, he led a series of military campaigns to reunite Upper and Lower Egypt. His victory over the Herakleopolitan kings signified the dawn of a new era.
Reunification under Mentuhotep II not only consolidated political power but also reestablished the role of the pharaoh as a central figure of authority. As the unifier of Egypt, Mentuhotep II portrayed himself as the restorer of ma'at—harmony and justice. His reign marked the beginning of the 11th Dynasty and set a precedent for strong, centralized rule. The restoration of internal stability allowed for significant cultural and artistic developments, reflecting a renewed sense of national identity.
