  After a lifetime of overachieving, aiming to be excellent at everything, and three failed tech startups in Silicon Valley, Kelly Trach was stirred by a simple question: What if I just did what I'm good at? 
   
   
   
  Now a six-figure business coach, Kelly poses the same question to you: What if you just did what you're good at? Despite conventional wisdom, the gifts and experience you need are already innate. Having that "it factor" or "special ingredient" isn't as elusive as you may think. 
   
    
   
  P.S. You're a Genius takes you on a self-reflective journey to find your own gifts, asking questions like: How are your idols a reflection of your own genius? What are you great at that nobody taught you how to do? How is your darkest shadow your greatest gift? What have you been unexpectedly criticized for? 
   
   
   
  Through these questions and more, you'll uncover the ways you naturally excel, relinquish the lie that you're not "good enough," and discover how to convincingly convey your value to anyone. In the process, you'll unlock the gumption to go after what you really want and ditch the mindset blocks holding you back—because you have an inherent genius. You just have to find it.

  Urban Transportation - Solutions...

  Urban transportation plays a pivotal role in shaping the way cities function, impacting everything from daily commuting to the overall economic and environmental health of urban areas. In modern society, cities are becoming increasingly crowded, with more people migrating to urban centers in search of opportunities, better infrastructure, and access to services. As populations swell, urban transportation systems have struggled to keep pace with demand, leading to issues such as congestion, pollution, and inefficiency. 
  Historically, urban transportation has evolved in response to changing needs and technological advancements. Early cities relied on walking and horse-drawn carriages, but with the rise of industrialization, motorized transport took over. Streetcars, buses, and eventually cars became the main modes of transport in urban environments. However, as cities expanded and the number of vehicles grew, so did the problems associated with these systems. Traffic congestion became a daily reality in many metropolitan areas, with commuters spending hours stuck in traffic, wasting time, and burning fuel. 
  Environmental concerns further compounded the issue. The increasing number of vehicles on the road, many of which run on fossil fuels, has significantly contributed to air pollution, climate change, and the depletion of natural resources. As cities continue to grow, the challenge of balancing transportation needs with environmental sustainability has become more urgent. In response, there has been a global push to shift toward more sustainable, efficient, and inclusive transportation systems.

  The origins of Egyptian medicine trace back to the earliest periods of ancient Egypt, where the intertwining of practical knowledge and spiritual beliefs laid the foundation for one of the most advanced medical systems of the ancient world. As early as the Pre-Dynastic period, evidence of rudimentary medical practices reveals that Egyptians were already exploring ways to treat injuries and ailments using natural resources available in their environment. 
  Religion played a fundamental role in shaping the practice of medicine in ancient Egypt. The Egyptians believed that the gods held power over health and illness, with many deities associated with specific aspects of healing. For instance, Sekhmet, the lioness goddess, was both a bringer of plague and a healer, while Thoth, the god of wisdom, was revered as a patron of physicians. Temples dedicated to these deities often served as centers for both worship and healing, where priests acted as both spiritual leaders and medical practitioners. 
  Early medical practices were closely linked to mythology, with illnesses often attributed to divine displeasure or the influence of malevolent spirits. Healing rituals and incantations were designed to restore the balance between the individual and the divine order, highlighting the Egyptian belief in a holistic approach to health. The blending of prayer, magic, and practical remedies reflects a medical philosophy that considered both the physical and spiritual dimensions of wellness.

  Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions is a satirical novella by the English schoolmaster and clergyman Edwin Abbott Abbott. The story describes a two-dimensional world occupied by geometric figures, where of women are simple line-segments, while men are polygons with various numbers of sides. Written pseudonymous by "A Square", the book used the fictional two-dimensional world of Flatland to comment on the hierarchy of Victorian culture, but the novella's more enduring contribution is its examination of dimensions. This masterpiece of science (and mathematical) fiction is a delightfully unique and highly entertaining satire that has charmed readers for more than 100 years.

  If you live in the Pacific Northwest, get ready to run for your life . . . 
  In the face of a massive earthquake and tsunami in the Pacific Northwest, a respected geologist must make two gut-wrenching decisions. One could cost him his reputation, the other, his life. 
  Is the Northwest overdue for a huge quake and tsunami, or will the region remain safe for hundreds of years yet to come? No one knows… or does someone? 
  Dr. Rob Elwood, a geologist whose specialty is earthquakes and tsunamis, is having nightmares of "the big one" that are way too real to disregard. His friend, a counselor and retired reverend, does not think Rob is going nuts. To the contrary, he believes the dreams are premonitions to be taken seriously. No one else does, however, even after a press conference. 
  Some live to regret it, most don't. 
  Rob's drama becomes intertwined with others--a retired fighter pilot trying to make amends to a woman he jilted decades ago and a quixotic retiree searching for legendary buried treasure in the rugged coastal mountains of Oregon. 
  All are about to live Rob's nightmare. 
  "Riveting, scary, and entirely believable . . . a compelling, page-turning thriller with the ring of truth." Jerry Thompson, author of Cascadia's Fault
