  Yuri Bezmenov (1939 - January 5, 1993), was a Soviet journalist for RIA Novosti and a former KGB informant who defected to Canada. After being assigned to a station in India, Bezmenov eventually grew to love the people and the culture of India. At the same time, he began to resent the KGB-sanctioned repression of intellectuals who dissented from Moscow's policies and he decided to defect to the West. Bezmenov is best remembered for his anti-communist lectures and books published in the 1980s under the alias of Tomas David Schuman.

  Jealousy - Understanding the...

  At its core, jealousy emerges when we perceive a threat to something we value, be it a person, possession, or even an idea. This feeling of possessiveness or inadequacy can arise when someone we care about shows interest in another person, when we feel ignored or neglected, or when we experience a perceived loss of something important to us. However, jealousy is not always a reflection of the reality of a situation but often stems from our personal insecurities or fears of abandonment and rejection. It can grow unchecked, creating barriers to trust and emotional intimacy, or it can be managed, leading to personal growth and stronger, healthier relationships. 
    
  Jealousy, when left unchecked, can erode relationships, breed mistrust, and create ongoing conflict. However, when we acknowledge it and take steps to manage it constructively, jealousy can be transformed into an opportunity for growth. By examining the emotion itself, the ways it manifests, and offering strategies to cope, this book seeks to provide the tools necessary to better understand jealousy and, ultimately, build stronger and more fulfilling relationships. 
  This book aims to explore the emotional roots of jealousy, why it arises, and how we can manage it in a way that doesn’t undermine our relationships. Through an understanding of the psychological, biological, and social triggers of jealousy, we can begin to recognize how it shapes our behavior. From there, we can learn to respond to jealousy in a healthier way, fostering communication, trust, and resilience in our personal connections.

  The History of Islam's Holiest...

  Mecca is now best known for being Islam’s holiest city, revered as the birthplace of Muhammad and the site where Allah first revealed the Qu’ran to him. Within Mecca is the Ka’aba, a building housed within the Al-Masjid al-Haram (Great Mosque) that is considered the holiest site, and wherever they are in the world, Muslims face in the direction of the Ka’aba while praying. A pilgrimage to Mecca is considered a necessity for devout Muslims at some point in their lives, and the city itself is off limits to non-Muslims. Indeed, Mecca is so integral to Islam that the name of the city has entered the English lexicon and is a commonplace reference to any area closely associated with something (such as Paris often being called the mecca of fashion). 
  Even centuries before the birth of the Prophet Muhammad, Jews settled in the area that became Medina to escape persecution at the hands of the Babylonians and Romans, meaning the area and its arid environment brought inhabitants precisely because it wasn’t an attractive or resource rich area. In fact, the city fated to become the second holiest city in Islam earned that spot simply by straddling trade routes to the religious city of Mecca, which brought traders and pilgrims in large enough numbers to make it a trade center. 
  Jerusalem’s particular importance to the religion of Islam is without question one of the major sticking points in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Prior to Israeli control, Jerusalem had been predominantly controlled by Muslim rulers since the 7th century and had been used as a type of political currency, legitimizing the ruling dynasty’s claim over the city. For the world’s Muslim population, Jerusalem is a holy site because Muslims believe the Prophet Muhammad visited Jerusalem where he ascended to heaven during the famous “Night Journey.” There was also a period of time during the Prophet’s life when Muslims prayed in the direction of Jerusalem, as opposed to Mecca.

  It took less than four hours for Sarah Bailey and her younger brother Curtis to lose everything they knew. She lost her school, her mudpie stations, her church, her father, and her name. Everything they own is packed in garbage bags as they are moved to a new foster home. It’s supposed to be a safe haven for them, but as Sarah—now called Anna—learns, their so-called safety comes at a horrific price, as she is groomed and abused by her new foster mother. 
  But Sarah/Anna is resilient. She adapts to wearing dresses after only dressing as a boy. She befriends a wild and dangerous horse. And for her first Christmas ever, she receives a rag doll, one she carries with her still today. For a child with so little, the rag doll comes to mean so much. 
  Based on a true story, author of Just Another Slice, Dr. Zaffarese-Dippold continues to share her foster care story in the series “Garbage Bag Life.” This book in the series sheds light on the grooming behavior of some sexual abusers, and the risk to children in the foster care system.
