  Ancient Celtic Legends: The...

  The Celts are one of the most well-known groups in Europe and one of the least understood. Depending on which classifications are used, the Celts are also one of the oldest civilizations in Europe. In the centuries before Christ, the Celts were spread out across much of continental Europe, and though they are mostly identified with Gaul, evidence suggests they also spread as far as Portugal. Though they were spread out across Europe before the height of the Roman Empire, most people associate the Celts with the British Isles today, particularly Ireland and Scotland. After they had been relegated to those smaller regions as a result of the Romans and other migrations, the culture of the Celts as it is currently understood began to congeal during the Early Middle Ages, and Celtic culture, folklore, and legend have all become inextricably intertwined with Irish history and British history as a whole. 
  Historically, Celtic cultures differ from their English and French neighbors in a number of ways, including social organization, language, values and economic systems, but one of the most captivating of these has always been their myths. Celtic Myths, which can be read in translation without needing special training in grammar, are more accessible than the Celtic languages, and unlike the other distinctive features that have faded over the centuries, myths still have their immediacy and power when read today. While much has undoubtedly been lost from the ancient Celts over time, medieval manuscripts help scholars understand how Celtic myths have reached the form they have today. Like many ancient belief systems, Celtic mythology shares Indo-European roots, meaning Celtic beliefs have cousins in related societies like the Norse, Greeks, Romans and Slavs, with a foundation of shared mythmaking that goes back several millennia.

  DEI Exposed puts the spotlight on a Big Con: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. 
  DEI gurus siphoned funds for education into social engineering programs. They suckered and swindled some of the smartest people in the U.S., cost universities dearly in terms of funds and reputation, and ruined the livelihoods of countless faculty members. 
  DEI has fueled antisemitism on college campuses and, ironically, robbed many students of fair treatment and freedom of speech-two things DEI advocates supposedly champion. 
  How did the hustlers pull it off? 
  This book documents the dubious credentials of DEI superstars, the use of cult conversion tactics on students, the cultivation of campus informants to instill fear and suspicion, and the lawsuits that reveal DEI's virulent racialism at a high cost to universities in bad publicity and legal damages. 
  DEI Exposed maps this corruption so that we can chart a course for a restoration of higher education for years to come. 
  Ridgley reveals the striking contradictions between DEI's stated aims and its practical effects. 
  - Ram Mudambi, Frank M. Speakman Professor of Strategy, Fox School of Business, Temple University 
  The DEI monster has continually sprouted new tentacles, and Ridgley has given us an account of how it came to be its lurid self. 
  - Bruce Gilley, author of The Case for Colonialism 
  With razor-sharp analysis, Ridgley dissects how higher education compromised itself, abandoning merit and intellectual vigor in favor of pseudoscience and ideological conformity. 
  - Nicholas Giordano, Professor of Political Science and host of The P.A.S. Report Podcast 
  Dr. Stanley K. Ridgley is Clinical Full Professor of Strategic Management at Drexel University. He holds a Doctorate and Master's in International Relations and Security from Duke University and an International MBA from Temple University. He is a Russian language linguist and former Military Intelligence Officer.

  Hypnotherapy - Unlocking the...

  Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that uses the power of hypnosis to bring about positive change in a person's thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. It is a natural, relaxed state of heightened awareness and focus, during which individuals are more open to suggestions and capable of accessing the subconscious mind. While hypnosis is often associated with entertainment or mysticism, hypnotherapy is a well-established and evidence-based practice used by licensed professionals to address a wide variety of issues, from stress and anxiety to chronic pain and bad habits. 
  The origins of hypnotherapy can be traced back thousands of years to ancient cultures, where the use of trance-like states was employed for healing and spiritual rituals. In more modern times, figures such as Franz Anton Mesmer and Milton Erickson helped shape the practice, bringing hypnosis into the medical field. Today, hypnotherapy is recognized as a legitimate treatment in many parts of the world, with practitioners working alongside other healthcare professionals to improve mental and physical well-being. 
  One of the core principles of hypnotherapy is that the subconscious mind plays a significant role in shaping our thoughts, behaviors, and perceptions. While the conscious mind controls our daily decisions and actions, the subconscious mind holds our deeper beliefs, memories, and automatic reactions. It is in this subconscious realm where many issues, such as phobias, unresolved trauma, and limiting beliefs, are stored and continue to influence us in ways we may not be fully aware of. Hypnotherapy works by bypassing the conscious mind and speaking directly to the subconscious, allowing for deep-seated changes to take place.
