  Through centuries of oppression, we were tenants in our own land.
  Today, despite our independence and new-found affluence, we are in the midst of a crisis.
  The question of who owns Ireland is once again taking on a sense of urgency. Is the land of Ireland still for the people of Ireland?
  In a deep and far-reaching investigation, journalist, broadcaster and No. 1 bestselling author Matt Cooper examines the power wielded by those who control the land where we live, work and play. Who are they, how did they acquire so much and what does it mean for ordinary citizens when the ownership of key resources like shopping centres, wind farms, forestry and data centres comes from outside?
  This is a story about how power and money influence and control the present and the future of Ireland … sometimes for good and sometimes for bad. Filled with riveting detail, this compelling story of who really owns Ireland is an essential account of the issues that affect every single one of us living on this island.

  The Olmecs are often regarded as the first significant civilization in Mesoamerica, a region that includes parts of modern-day Mexico and Central America. They emerged in the tropical lowlands of what is now the Mexican states of Veracruz and Tabasco, following a gradual development in the Soconusco region. It is believed that the Olmecs were influenced by neighboring cultures, particularly the Mokaya and Mixe–Zoque tribes, who inhabited the areas around them. These early interactions may have played a role in shaping Olmec society, laying the foundation for their eventual rise as one of the most influential cultures in Mesoamerican history. 
  The Olmecs flourished during the formative period of Mesoamerican civilization, which lasted from approximately 1500 BCE to 400 BCE. The early phase of Olmec culture began around 1600 BCE, with the establishment of their first major center at San Lorenzo Tenochtitlán, located in the southeastern Veracruz region near the coast. While pre-Olmec cultures had been developing in the region since around 2500 BCE, it was by 1600 BCE that the Olmecs began to solidify their cultural and political dominance in the region. They are considered the earliest of the Mesoamerican civilizations, and their cultural achievements and innovations would influence many of the civilizations that followed, including the Maya, Zapotec, and Aztec.

  The plan works even if you have $0 to your name and currently make minimum wage. 
  If you have nothing to your name and currently only make minimum wage, it can take up to 20 years. 
  Otherwise, if you are already partway there, it will happen faster for you. 
  It might sound sensational, but at the end of the day, setting yourself up for retirement is just a matter of simple math and consistent long-term self-discipline. It is as extremely easy, completely realistic, and actually unavoidable as it is for an obese person who is 200 lbs overweight to lose that weight and keep it off by following a certain diet plan with a certain calorie budget. 
  This is not a get-rich-quick scheme. This is not the crash diet of financial plans. This is a long-term plan that uses the power of consistency, self-discipline, and exponential growth to generate seemingly incredible results over the long-term. But they only seem incredible. Ultimately, it is simple math, and the real power comes simply from you having the self-discipline to follow the plan consistently year after year.

  The Amateur Hour - A History of...

  American college teaching is in crisis, or so we are told. But we've heard that complaint for the past 150 years, as critics have denounced the poor quality of instruction in undergraduate classrooms. Students daydream in gigantic lecture halls while a professor drones on, or they meet with a teaching assistant for an hour of aimless discussion. The modern university does not reward teaching, so faculty members at every level neglect it in favor of research and publication. In the first book-length history of American college teaching, Jonathan Zimmerman confirms but also contradicts these perennial complaints. Drawing upon a wide range of previously unexamined sources, The Amateur Hour shows how generations of undergraduates indicted the weak instruction they received. But Zimmerman also chronicles institutional efforts to improve it, especially by making teaching more "personal." As higher education grew into a gigantic industry, he writes, American colleges and universities introduced small-group activities and other reforms designed to counter the anonymity of mass instruction. They also experimented with new technologies like television and computers, which promised to "personalize" teaching by tailoring it to the individual interests and abilities of each student.But, Zimmerman reveals, the emphasis on the personal inhibited the professionalization of college teaching, which remains, ultimately, an amateur enterprise. The more that Americans treated teaching as a highly personal endeavor, dependent on the idiosyncrasies of the instructor, the less they could develop shared standards for it. Nor have they rigorously documented college instruction, a highly public activity which has taken place mostly in private. Pushing open the classroom door, The Amateur Hour illuminates American college teaching and frames a fresh case for restoring intimate learning communities, especially for America's least privileged students. Anyone who wants to change college teaching will have to start here.

  The Prophecies

  Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. 
   Nostradamus’s The Prophecies presents hundreds of tightly compressed quatrains that fracture time and history into symbolic glimpses of upheaval, power, and ruin. The work avoids narrative order; instead it disperses images of kings, empires, celestial disturbances, plagues, and wars across a fog of allegory, where each vision feels suspended between history and imagination. The language is deliberately opaque—layered with astrological references, classical allusions, and oblique metaphors—forcing the reader to navigate a shifting terrain of potential meanings rather than fixed predictions.
