Milk

Matthew Evans

A powerful, entertaining and, at times, eviscerating commentary on the most controversial of original superfoods. 
 
Milk. It's in our coffee, on our cereal. We see it in processed form – yoghurt, butter, cheese, skimmed and lactose free. It's there in almond form, or made from oats or soy, and is as lauded as the 'perfect' food or lambasted as not fit for human consumption and a toxic planet killer, depending on who you trust. Which type you drink, whether you were raised on breastmilk, what you think of it, is affected by culture, biology and fashion. How you view it is driven by your gender and your politics, as well as your geography. 
 
The miracle liquid has suffered an image problem. It has been used to keep people poor, to keep women subjugated, and to build corporate and medical careers. It's been blamed for climate change, the breakdown of human health, and an enabler of the industrial revolution. From perfect food to pariah, milk's role in life has often been debased. 
 
Milk celebrates the majesty of this noble liquid, and delves into the pretenders to its throne, from formula to Mylk. It looks at the transformation of what a milk-producer eats into one of the most nutrient dense foods available, and how that can be transformed again into the butter, cheese and clotted cream that we know and love today. It's an exploration of the science, history and politics of what makes mammals different from every other life form on earth.

How to Analyze People - Learn...

Kevin Hallstone

In this volume, our focus shifts slightly to the actual personality types; everyone should be aware of and susceptible to when they cross our paths. These are the people you probably don't want to know.
Why? They're people who really don't like other people. Well, they do, but what they like about people is exploiting, damaging, and controlling them. They like people for what they can do for them financially, in their careers, and in terms of their status in society.
We've covered some of the general personality types in Book One of our series. That information will have given you some insight into the people you meet and how to read them. But what I've saved for this volume is an examination of those who walk among us who are corrosive and psychologically compromised. Also, in this book, you'll be reading about the role of intuition in detecting the truth about situations and people and how to foster and use it to protect yourself and others from the excesses of the disorders described in this book.
We'll be focusing on personality disorders, the behaviors of those who are burdened with them, and how to see them coming. There are tell-tale signs early on in interactions with these people that can save you a lot of drama and chaos.
As you move along, you'll note an overlap between symptoms and behaviors. In the Cluster B personality disorders, we'll be looking at, the symptomatic overlap is not only common but expected. Further, those who fall under the headings in the cluster often have what is referred to as "co-morbidities." These are the double whammy types, who live with more than one personality challenge or disorder.

Jewish Family Life - Customs...

Joseph Arston

Jewish family life is deeply rooted in tradition, values, and a strong sense of community. The family is not just a social unit but the very foundation of Jewish identity, shaping the faith, customs, and moral principles passed down through generations. Through daily practices, holidays, and shared rituals, Jewish families cultivate a home environment that nurtures both spiritual and ethical development. 
At the core of Jewish family life is the concept of shalom bayit, or peace in the home. This principle emphasizes harmony, mutual respect, and love among family members. Parents play a crucial role in modeling these values, creating an atmosphere where kindness, patience, and understanding are prioritized. The Torah provides guidance on fostering a household filled with compassion and justice, reinforcing the idea that family is a sacred space where Jewish teachings come to life. 
Another fundamental aspect of Jewish family life is the observance of Shabbat. The Sabbath is more than just a day of rest—it is a time for families to reconnect, reflect, and step away from the distractions of daily life. The preparation for Shabbat, including lighting the candles, reciting blessings over wine and bread, and sharing a festive meal, strengthens family bonds. Shabbat serves as a reminder of the importance of slowing down, appreciating one another, and finding holiness within the home. It is a time when parents pass down traditions and children absorb the rhythms of Jewish living.
