  Kaiser Wilhelm II - Biography of...

  Wilhelm II, the last German Emperor (Kaiser) and King of Prussia, ruled from June 15, 1888, until his abdication on November 9, 1918, marking the end of the German Empire. His reign was tumultuous, characterized by grand ambitions and disastrous decisions that not only reshaped Germany but also contributed to the broader context of global conflict. Although Wilhelm's creation of a powerful navy and his drive to position Germany as a dominant world power earned him recognition, his erratic public statements and volatile foreign policy alienated many, making him a central figure in the lead-up to World War I. 
  Born in 1859 to Prince Frederick William of Prussia and Victoria, Princess Royal of the United Kingdom, Wilhelm II was part of a deeply interconnected European royal family. His mother, Queen Victoria’s eldest daughter, brought him into a web of political alliances that spanned several major European nations. Wilhelm’s father, Frederick III, briefly held the throne for only 99 days in 1888 before his untimely death, making it a year of remarkable transitions. Just months after his father’s passing, Wilhelm succeeded to the throne during what historians refer to as the "Year of the Three Emperors," as Wilhelm’s grandfather, Wilhelm I, had also died earlier that year.

  Escaping America in World War...

  Though it’s often overlooked today, during World War II, the United States held hundreds of thousands of enemy prisoners of war, and the country was unprepared for the influx, despite the fact that only weeks after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the government started detaining Japanese Americans and foreigners from Axis countries. Some camps, used for training Army recruits, were repurposed as prison camps, and the experience of building camps for the 120,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans was useful in building camps for the POWs. In addition to the Japanese, about 31,000 German, Japanese, and Italian residents were placed in camps.  
  	At first, there were few POWs because it took months for the American military to get ready to participate in campaigns. The first POW was a Japanese sailor who’d survived the sinking of his midget submarine at Pearl Harbor. The first German prisoners were survivors of U-boats sunk off the American coasts. There were also a few hundred German and Italian merchant sailors on ships seized in American ports (these sailors were interned as enemy aliens, not POWs). 
  	Soon, the prisoners came in waves. A sizable number came to the US at the request of Britain, which had too many prisoners and sent tens of thousands to Canada and the US. The first large number of enemy POWs captured by American forces came at the end of the North Africa campaign in May 1943, when the Allied forces trapped most of the vaunted Afrika Korps in Tunisia (then a French colony) and forced it to surrender. About 280,000 German and Italian troops surrendered. These were different from later prisoners; they tended to be volunteers, with many of them fervent Nazis (if German) and diehard Fascists (if Italian). They were generally confident of an ultimate German victory.

  Everyday Dharma - 8 Essential...

  “Suneel Gupta shares how to chisel away the everyday layers that prevent us from clarity and joy. Written with compassion and wit, you will find yourself within its pages, and by the book’s end, it’s very possible that you will have uncovered just what most lights the fire within you.” —Sharon Salzberg, New York Times bestselling author of Lovingkindness and Real Life 
  Find your Dharma—your inner calling—and learn to integrate ambition, work, and wellbeing to create a balanced, joyous life with this practical, life-changing guide from the beloved speaker, bestselling author, and visiting scholar at Harvard Medical School. 
  We’ve been conditioned, from an early age, to believe that one day we’ll reach a moment of “arrival.” But no matter how much we achieve or acquire we still don’t feel as satisfied or as fulfilled as we thought we would be. Exhausted, we become burned out and cynical, questioning the purpose of it all. 
  An expert on happiness and work, Suneel Gupta argues that for too long society has been fixated on the Future of Work and ignored the Future of Worth. We’ve compartmentalized work and well-being and ignored the fact that both are essential for sustained success. We’ve assumed that outer success leads to inner well-being–despite history showing us that this has never been the case. 
  In Everyday Dharma, Suneel helps us break this negative cycle. A captivating storyteller, he weaves personal stories, history, science, Eastern philosophy, and Western modalities in this engaging, enlightening, and prescriptive book. He begins by helping us identify our dharma, the essence of who we are. When you’re in your Dharma, you feel confident, creative, and caring, with a sense of purpose, and that shines through your life and work. 
  Everyday Dharma provides an accessible three-step approach to discovering, understanding, and living your “sacred calling.” At its center are self-assessments to help you identify your passions and powerful rituals for building new habits—ancient practices supported by science and found in diverse cultural sources, including Toni Morrison’s novels, Jimi Hendrix’s lyrics, and Frida Kahlo’s paintings, and used by the likes of Nelson Mandela, Dr. Martin Luther King, and Mahatma Gandhi. 
  Finding your dharma empowers you to let go of anxiety, follow your wildest ambitions, produce your life’s work, and experience true joy.
