    Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most commonly diagnosed neurodevelopmental disorders in children. It affects approximately 5-10% of school-aged children worldwide and can significantly impact their academic performance and social interactions. ADHD is characterized by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, which can vary greatly in their severity and presentation from one child to another. 
    In the classroom setting, ADHD can present a variety of challenges for both students and educators. Children with ADHD often struggle to stay focused on tasks, follow instructions, and maintain organizational systems. Their difficulty with impulse control can lead to frequent interruptions, inappropriate behaviors, and challenges in completing assignments. These behaviors are often misinterpreted as laziness, defiance, or a lack of intelligence, leading to frustration and misunderstanding for both the student and teacher. 
    It is important to understand that ADHD is not caused by a lack of discipline or effort. It is a neurobiological condition that affects the brain's ability to regulate attention, behavior, and emotions. Students with ADHD may have difficulty with executive functioning, which includes skills like planning, organization, time management, and self-regulation. These challenges can make traditional classroom settings particularly difficult, as many educational systems rely on structure, rigid schedules, and the ability to remain focused for extended periods.

    The Eurasian Century - Hot Wars...

    We often think of the modern era as the age of American power. In reality, we're living in a long, violent Eurasian century. That giant, resource-rich landmass possesses the bulk of the global population, industrial might, and potential military power. Eurasia is a strategic prize without equal—which is why the world has been roiled, reshaped, and nearly destroyed by clashes over the supercontinent. 
     
     
     
    Since the early twentieth century, autocratic powers have aspired for dominance by seizing commanding positions in the world's strategic heartland. Offshore sea powers, namely the United Kingdom and America, have sought to make the world safe for democracy by keeping Eurasia in balance. America's rivalries with China, Russia, and Iran are the next round in this geopolitical game. If this new authoritarian axis succeeds in enacting a radically revised international order, America and other democracies will be vulnerable and insecure. 
     
     
     
    Hal Brands argues that a better understanding of Eurasia's strategic geography can illuminate the contours of rivalry and conflict in today's world. The Eurasian Century explains how revolutions in technology and warfare, and the rise of toxic ideologies of conquest, made Eurasia the center of twentieth-century geopolitics—with pressing implications for the struggles that will define the twenty-first.

    The Mess of Me: Pain, Rejection, and the Fight to be Whole, is a raw, compassionate memoir about facing the truth we hide—and discovering that in the mess, we are still deeply loved.Joe Atinsky doesn’t offer a sanitized story or a tidy path to healing. Instead, he opens the door to his own lived experience—years of perfectionism, buried shame, spiritual pressure, and the unraveling of everything he thought would save him. But this isn’t a story about falling apart. It’s a story about what begins to grow when the hiding stops.With honesty and gentleness, Joe invites listeners into his journey—not to shock, but to show. To offer a voice for those who may never feel safe to share their pain out loud. Whether you’re walking through faith deconstruction, emotional exhaustion, identity confusion, or the long, quiet work of healing from childhood wounds—this story is here to meet you in your own mess.Through therapy, spiritual honesty, and the grace of real community, Joe finds a way forward. He doesn’t abandon faith—he rebuilds it. Not through performance, but through presence. Not by becoming someone else, but by finally becoming himself.The Mess of Me speaks to the silent parts inside us all. It’s for anyone who’s been told to be perfect, to be strong, to hold it together no matter the cost. And it’s for those ready to begin again—not by fixing what’s broken, but by honoring what’s real.In the mess, we are seen. In the mess, we are loved. In the mess, there is a beginning, a middle, and an end. And in that sacred space, wounded purpose can recover—and the real you can finally begin to live.

    THE HEARTBREAKING STORY OF A YOUNG CATHOLIC GIRL TRANSPORTED TO AUSCHWITZ BECOMES A RASHOMON-LIKE RONDO BY ONE OF OUR GREATEST NOVELISTS. 
     
    First glimpsed riding on the back of a boy’s motorcycle, fourteen-year-old Czeslawa comes to life in this mesmerizing novel by Lily Tuck, who imagines her upbringing in a small Polish village before her world imploded in late 1942.  
     
    Stripped of her modest belongings, shorn, and tattooed number 26947 on arriving at Auschwitz, Czeslawa is then photographed. Three months later, she is dead. 
     
    How did this happen to an ordinary Polish citizen? This is the question that Tuck grapples with in this haunting novel, which frames Czeslawa’s story within the epic tragedy of six million Poles who perished during the German occupation. A decade prior to writing The Rest Is Memory, Tuck read an obituary of the photographer Wilhelm Brasse, who took more than 40,000 pictures of the Auschwitz prisoners. Included were three of Czeslawa Kwoka, a Catholic girl from rural southeastern Poland. Tuck cut out the photos and kept them, determined to learn more about Czeslawa, but she was only able to glean the barest facts: the village she came from, the transport she was on, that she was accompanied by her mother and her neighbors, her tattoo number, and the date of her death. From this scant evidence, Tuck’s novel becomes a remarkable kaleidoscopic feat of imagination, something only our greatest novelists can do. 
     
    “Beautifully written, all the while instilling a sense of horror” (Susanna Moore), Tuck’s language swirls about, yet not a word is out of place. The subtly rotating images tumble out at us, accelerating as we learn about Czeslawa’s tragic stay in Auschwitz, the lives of real people such as the barbaric Commandant Rudolf Höss; his unconscionable wife, Hedwig; the psychiatrist and child rescuer Janusz Korczak; and the mordant Polish short story writer Tadeusz Borowski. 
     
    Although we are certain of Czeslawa’s fate, we have no choice but to keep turning the pages, thoroughly mesmerized by Tuck’s near otherworldly prose. 
     
    In Lily Tuck’s hands, The Rest Is Memory becomes an unforgettable work of historical reclamation that rescues an innocent life, one previously only recalled by a stark triptych of photographs. 
     
    “The Rest Is Memory is a literary resurrection, as shattering as it is astonishing. Lily Tuck has done the impossible; from darkness and hideous cruelty, she has woven an unforgettable paean to hope, to life, to justice.”—Junot Diaz

    The Hebrew Book of Job is part of Ketuvim ("Writings") of the Hebrew Bible. Not much is known about Job based on the Masoretic Text. The characters in the Book of Job consist of Job, his wife, his three friends (Bildad, Eliphaz, and Zophar), a man named Elihu, God, and angels (one of whom is named Satan). It begins with an introduction to Job's character-he is described as a blessed man who lives righteously in the Land of Uz. The Lord's praise of Job prompts an angel with the title of "satan" ("accuser") to suggest that Job served God simply because God protected him. God removes Job's protection and gives permission to the angel to take his wealth, his children, and his physical health (but not his life). Despite his difficult circumstances, he does not curse God, but rather curses the day of his birth. And although he anguishes over his plight, he stops short of accusing God of injustice. Job's miserable earthly condition is simply God's will.
