  It is important for you to know that Yoga is a way of being in the world based on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali 
  There are people who approach the practice of Yoga, because they have seen other notable changes or someone has told you that the practice of Yoga is good, well, you don’t need to be a doubtful Thomas, as this book is embedded with all important and effective approach that will influence your yoga sutra of pantajali in no time. 
  But ... what is this Yoga, which is becoming so fashionable? And what are its origins 
  Yoga is an ancestral philosophy that was born in India about 5000 years ago. Our ancestors were people who retired in search of a connection and internalization, which has little to do with the way in which Yoga is practiced today in the West. 
  And this is not bad, life evolves and with it also changes around us to meet the needs of today's society. But I think it is important to take into account the origins of this discipline, because, at least for me, it makes a lot of sense to my practice. 
  When I talk about my practice, I don't mean just the time I spend on the mat moving my body or meditating, I mean everything that accompanies me throughout the day, from when I wake up until I go to bed. 
  Therefore, I want to transfer the teachings I have received about this way of being and being in the world, because knowing, even a little, its origin, you can better understand what you do or what is achieved with the constant practice of this discipline. That was the reason why this audiobook is birthed. 
  The Yoga Sutra of Patanjali also provide the method or the means to achieve said “goal” all these approaches are mentioned with quality pictures just for your perusal and fast understanding. 
  As you can see there are no secrets, everything is achieved through practice and more practice.

  The Airborne Mafia explores how a small group of World War II airborne officers took control of the US Army after World War II. This powerful cadre cemented a unique airborne culture that had an unprecedented impact on the Cold War US Army and beyond. 
   
   
   
  Robert F. Williams reveals the trials and tribulations this group of officers faced in order to bring about their vision. He spotlights the relationship between organizational culture, operational behavior, and institutional change in the United States Army during the Cold War, showing that as airborne officers ascended to the highest ranks of the army they transmitted their culture throughout their service in four major ways—civil-military relations, preparation for potential atomic combat, helicopter airmobility, and strategic response forces. 
   
   
   
  Experiences of training and commanding airborne divisions in World War II led these men to hold sway in army doctrine by the mid-1950s. Dominating institutional thought and imparting their values, beliefs, and norms throughout the service they enjoyed a special privilege within the group culture. Williams demonstrates this impact, privilege, and power by focusing on the paratrooper triumvirate of Matthew Ridgway, Maxwell Taylor, and James Gavin and the lasting impression they made on how the US Army fought.

  Venezuela - Economic Crises and...

  Venezuela’s history is one of dramatic shifts, from its early days as a Spanish colony to its emergence as one of the world’s largest oil producers. The country’s vast natural resources positioned it as a regional economic powerhouse, yet mismanagement, political instability, and external pressures have contributed to repeated cycles of crisis. Today, Venezuela stands as a cautionary tale of how wealth, when poorly managed, can lead to economic collapse and social turmoil. Understanding the nation’s historical trajectory is essential to grasping its current struggles and the possibilities for recovery.  
    
  Venezuela’s path to independence followed the broader wave of Latin American liberation movements. Gaining independence from Spain in 1821 under the leadership of Simón Bolívar, the country initially experienced political turbulence as it transitioned from colonial rule. The 19th and early 20th centuries were marked by military dictatorships and internal conflicts, preventing the establishment of a stable government. However, the discovery of vast oil reserves in the early 20th century would drastically reshape Venezuela’s economic and political landscape.  
    
  With the discovery of oil in the 1910s, Venezuela saw rapid economic expansion, attracting foreign investment and transforming Caracas into one of the most modern cities in Latin America. By the mid-20th century, the nation was one of the wealthiest in the region, boasting a growing middle class and infrastructure that rivaled its neighbors. Yet, with prosperity came vulnerability. The economy became overwhelmingly dependent on oil revenues, leaving it exposed to fluctuations in global energy markets. Instead of using its wealth to diversify industries and strengthen institutions, successive governments spent recklessly, often prioritizing short-term political gains over long-term stability.
