  What if the very medicine that could save your life was locked behind a patent?
   
  Owning the Sun is a powerful and urgent investigation into how the pharmaceutical industry turned lifesaving knowledge into private property—and the global consequences of that transformation. Tracing the rise of medical monopolies from postwar public research to pandemic-era profit wars, this audiobook exposes the systems, laws, and ideologies that prioritize wealth over wellness.
   
  With riveting storytelling and deep analysis, it unpacks how drugs developed with public funds became billion-dollar assets controlled by private corporations. From the AIDS crisis in Africa to the COVID-19 vaccine battles, from grassroots resistance to the call for a new commons, Owning the Sun challenges listeners to reconsider what we value—and who pays the price for progress.
   
  Essential listening for anyone concerned with healthcare, ethics, or justice in the modern world, this audiobook is a call to action: reclaim medicine for the many, not the few.

  The list goes on…. 
  Covert Narcissists dangle their vulnerability in front of you as bait, just waiting for your good nurturing mothering/fathering instincts to kick in and rescue the poor little lost child they are presenting to you. 
  But beneath the mask of a shy, vulnerable and “good person” something far more sinister lurks. 
  And this what makes covert narcissism so damaging and dangerous: the nature of the disorder is such that you are brainwashed into thinking you are dealing with a human being with a morality, perhaps even a “pillar of the community”. 
  OFT REPEATED MYTHS OF THE INTERNET ABOUT NARCISSISTS : 
  You are Told: Narcissists are always brash, loud, assertive, flashy and Confident. 
  The problem is: Coverts are quiet, insecure and passive. 
  You are Told: Narcissists will never apologise for things they do. 
  The problem is: Coverts can learn that a quick and TOTAL apology is a really slick way of getting their target to “go back to sleep” if it looks like they are waking up.

  Yet Another Costume Party...

  How the policies of elite colleges allow racially themed parties to continue by perpetuating the status quo. On a cold February evening, a group of students at Bowdoin College, an elite and historically white liberal arts college in Maine, gathered to drink tequila at a party referred to as “not not a fiesta.” By noon the next day, Instagram videos of students sporting miniature sombreros had spread like wildfire through campus. Over the next few weeks, national media outlets would broadcast the embarrassing fallout. But the frequency with which similar parties recur on campuses across the United States begs the question: what, if anything, do undergraduates learn about race and racism from these encounters?
   
  Drawing on interviews and archival research, Yet Another Costume Party Debacle shows us how colleges both contest and reproduce racialized systems of power. Sociologist Ingrid A. Nelson juxtaposes how students and administrators discuss race with how they behave in the aftermath of racially charged campus controversies. Nelson spoke in-depth with students and other key players in several controversial parties—“Cracksgiving,” a “gangster party,” and the “not not a fiesta” tequila party—at Bowdoin. The college’s administrative response failed to encourage productive dialogue or address larger questions about race on campus. Nelson shows how the underlying campus structures at elite liberal arts colleges foster an environment that is ripe for racially charged incidents; we shouldn’t be surprised when we read about yet another costume party debacle. Nelson advises how we can take charge of diversity on our campuses by changing the systems that bring students together and drive them apart.

   "Coming to the Kṛṣṇa Bhakti-Yoga tradition, especially the Gaudiya Vaisnavas from India I found shelter and made friends with the Hare Kṛṣṇa lifestyle and movement. Yoga means "Union" or "to link up", this refers to the Absolute Truth which comes in a personal and impersonal form. This wisdom of Yoga is manifested in the Vedas, the Word of God. The Vedas discuss Polymorphic Bi-Monotheism, a unique Supreme God who is apparent in Radha-Kṛṣṇa, the divine couple, manifesting in many forms. Studying this tradition is fun and practical. It turned my personal life around and became my life and soul. For example, learning Sanskrit, the Mother of all Languages is great joy. Śraddhā is a Sanskrit term and refers to the root of this tree of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. How can one believe in such a wonderful theology?"
