    A Nation Again is the chaotic tale of the Scotland men's team's return to a major tournament after more than 20 years in the wilderness. 
    Ten had come and gone for Scotland since they reached France '98, but the birth of UEFA's Nations League offered a new route to glory. In early 2018, after a long search for Gordon Strachan's replacement, Alex McLeish became manager for a second time. Despite successfully navigating the Nations League group stage, it wasn't plain sailing, and his tenure ended after a shocking defeat at the start of Euro 2020 qualifying. 
    With a play-off semi-final on the horizon, the Scottish FA turned to Steve Clarke, who took on the challenge of inspiring a team rooted in failure, creating a band-of-brothers mentality and figuring out how to organise this incredibly talented group of players. From a couple of the lowest lows, came the highest high. 
    With exclusive memories and audio from those who were part of the journey, such as John McGinn, Stephen O'Donnell, Lyndon Dykes, Ryan Christie and David Marshall, this is the story of how Scotland finally became a nation again.

    A major new examination of the Indian Ocean, revealing how the region has become a hotly contested geopolitical flashpoint 
     
     
      
    Throughout history, the Indian Ocean has been an essential space for trade, commerce, and culture. Every European power has sought to dominate it. Now, after a lull in the postwar period, control of major shipping routes has once again become a critical aspect of every rising state's ambition to be a global power. 
     
     
      
    Darshana M. Baruah shows how governments from Washington, DC, to Nairobi and Canberra are expanding their interests in the region. The Indian Ocean is resource rich, strategically placed, and home to over two billion people. Island nations have become more important than ever, with Madagascar forming ties with Russia and the Comoros with Saudi Arabia. It is also through the region that China engages with Africa and the Middle East. This is a compelling account of the geopolitical significance of the Indian Ocean—showing how the region has taken center stage in a new global contest.

    Why do we search for balance in our lives? The answer is simple, and nearly all of us know it. Some of us simply don't want to accept the truth, while some of us want to find solutions for the imbalance in our lives. The importance of balance cannot be undermined, considering that it brings with its calmness, peace, happiness, and the strength to face any kind of diversity. With balance come increased productivity and efficiency and untold happiness and joy.  
    A balanced person is physically, emotionally, and mentally healthy and lives a meaningful and contented life, regardless of the challenges he or she faces. Feelings of imbalance include mental, emotional, and physical sickness, fear, unease, discomforts of all kinds, and suffering.  
    Signs of Mental Balance  
    The answers to the following questions will help you understand if you have mental balance and stability: 
    Do you see the world and yourself clearly without the truth being warped in mire and ambiguity? 
    Do you feel swept away by the veils that cover the truths of your life? 
    Do you attempt to see the truth as it is instead of trying to explain it away with some vague explanations just to make it agree with your perception?  
    Do you deliberately use your mind as a sense organ or something that you would simply brush as an appendage that comes in the way of your life?
