  Did you know that Russia, as a united state, was not formed until the 16th century? 
  Today, Russia is the biggest and one of the most populous countries in the world. From the early, primitive state-like formations in the 9th century, all the way to the creation of the first true tsardom of Russia in 1547, the history of medieval Russia is one filled with constant struggles for power, personal rivalries between various princes, bloody wars, and a search for identity. 
  This period, which spans about eight centuries, is often forgotten when talking about Russia, despite its importance. Nowadays, people’s perception of Russia is largely defined by the era of the Soviet Union, and it is not hard to understand why. However, exploring such a pivotal period that shaped modern Russia is a must for everybody who is even partially interested in the history of the world. 
  This audiobook serves as a guide for all listeners who want to delve deep into the history of medieval Russia. It covers exciting topics, such as:The rise and fall of Kievan Rus—the first Russian stateThe separation of Russian territories into appanagesInternal fighting between the Russian princes for dominationThe Mongol conquest and how they ruled RussiaThe emergence of new social and cultural trends in Russian societyStruggle for independence and freedom from the Mongol rulersAssumption of power by Muscovy—the most powerful Russian territory in the 14th century

  Codependency - Why do you...

  David Lawson PhD

  Are you having trouble fostering healthy relationships? 
  Are you stressed, feeling drained and exhausted from giving too much in your relationships? 
  Do you know who you are? What you need? What you like? Or do you feel that you need to be validated and approved by a partner (or any other person) to feel good about yourself? 
  Codependency is notoriously difficult to combat because there is no precise definition of the disorder. The signs and symptoms also differ for everyone. It is often mistaken for narcissism or other personality disorders that do not reflect the true situation. 
  People who suffer from this disorder tend to mask what they really feel. At other times, they are not even aware of what they are doing. This only serves to cloud the overall picture by delaying positive interventions, which, sometimes will never come. 
  I RECOMMEND THAT YOU READ THIS BOOK IF: 
  • You are not aware of how you truly feel. 
  • You have difficulty identifying your feelings. 
  • You have difficulty expressing your feelings. 
  • You tend to minimize, modify or even deny the reality of what you feel. 
  • You tend to worry and/or fear how others may respond to how you feel. 
  • You give power over your feelings to others. 
  Act now before it's too late 
  If a codependent denies his destructive behavior, he can pass it on to his children. If the child does not realise the behavioural model of the parents, and its negative impact, it will generate the same patterns as an adult. An endless cycle can be established. 
  Commit to breaking this cycle and regain control of your life.

  What if the pursuit of fairness and justice was leading us down a path of unintended harm? In Social Justice Fallacies, the author dismantles the myths and misconceptions that dominate modern social justice narratives, offering a bold, evidence-based critique that will challenge the way you think about fairness, equality, and progress.
   
  This thought-provoking audiobook explores how well-intentioned policies—aimed at correcting historical wrongs and creating equal outcomes—often backfire, perpetuating dependency, resentment, and inefficiency. With clarity and rigor, the author dissects key social justice fallacies, from the misinterpretation of group disparities to the misuse of historical narratives. Through real-world examples and data-driven insights, the book reveals how cultural values, individual choices, and economic principles play a greater role in shaping outcomes than popular narratives suggest.

  On 6 and 9 August 1945, the United States detonated two atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki respectively. The bombings killed between 129,000 and 226,000 people, most of whom were civilians, and remain the only use of nuclear weapons in an armed conflict. Japan surrendered to the Allies on 15 August, six days after the bombing of Nagasaki and the Soviet Union's declaration of war against Japan and invasion of Japanese-occupied Manchuria. The Japanese government signed the instrument of surrender on 2 September, effectively ending the war.

  1.Relationship without image is love 
  Relationship means action and movement. 
  Without understanding the totality of human relationship we live in conflict, however intimate we may be. 
  When there is knowledge as image in relationship there is conflict. 
  2.The meaning of life pleasure and fear 
  "Is life a mere struggle within and without; laborious, painful, anxious, and then death? 
  What place has thought and what is the structure of thinking? 
  Pleasure is the continuance of an incident which is dead, past. Thought pursues that incident which becomes pleasure. 
  3.Order love and death 
  In our life there is very little order. 
  Most of us conform, which is the very essence of disorder. 
  We conform because we want to succeed inwardly or outwardly; success to us is the most important thing in life. 
  Order and virtue come with the understanding of disorder. 
  4.Religion and meditation 
  What part does religion play in one’s life? 
  How do you know that you or anyone has attained enlightenment or reached the highest form of religious thought? 
  How can a mind which is always in conflict within itself find that which has never been in conflict? 
  In inquiring into meditation, do not follow anybody. 
  Meditation is a daily life in which there is no control whatsoever. 
  When dealing with psychological facts, is the observer different from the thing observed? 
  A certain part of the brain can function efficiently only when it has total order, security. 
  The moment you are aware you are silent it is not silence. 
  Silence is the highest order. 
  In silence, parts of the brain which have not been occupied become totally active. 
   
  Questions from the audience followed the talk.
