  The Power of Social Networks -...

  Human connections are at the core of society, influencing the way people think, behave, and interact. Social networks, both physical and digital, shape individual experiences and collective structures, determining everything from personal relationships to global movements. Understanding the science behind these connections provides insight into why people form relationships, how they maintain them, and the effects these relationships have on their lives. 
  The study of social networks is grounded in sociology, psychology, and network science. It examines how individuals are linked to one another through different types of relationships, ranging from close family bonds to distant acquaintances. Each person exists within a web of connections that influences their opportunities, behaviors, and even emotions. These networks function based on two primary types of ties: strong ties and weak ties. Strong ties refer to close relationships, such as family and close friends, that provide emotional support and trust. Weak ties, on the other hand, consist of acquaintances and distant connections that play a crucial role in spreading new ideas, job opportunities, and information. 
  One of the key concepts in the science of human connections is social capital, which refers to the value embedded in relationships. Social capital can provide tangible benefits, such as career advancement, and intangible advantages, such as emotional well-being and a sense of belonging.

  Know when to show your hand… and when to hedge your bets. Special Delivery, Book 2. Randy Jensen can’t stand to just sit by and watch as a mysterious man throws money away on the roulette wheel, especially since Randy’s got his own bet going as to the reason this guy is making every play like it’s his last day on earth. The man’s dark desperation hits Randy right in the gut. Half of him warns that getting involved is a sucker’s bet, and the other half scrambles for a reason—any reason—to save the man’s soul. Ethan Ellison has no idea what he’s going to do with himself once his last dollar is gone—until Randy whirls into his life with a heart-stealing smile and a poker player’s gaze that sees too much. Randy draws Ethan into a series of wagers that leads to a scorching kiss by midnight, but he isn’t the only one with an interest in Ethan’s vulnerability. Soon they’re both taking risks that not only play fast and loose with the law, but with the biggest prize of all: their hearts. This book has been previously published and has been revised from its original release. Warning: This story contains high-stakes poker, gangsters with a weakness for kittens, foursomes, and kinky consensual sex.

  The Battle of Agincourt -...

  The Battle of Agincourt, fought on October 25, 1415, stands as one of the most celebrated military victories in English history. It was a defining moment in the Hundred Years’ War, a prolonged conflict between England and France that spanned over a century. Agincourt not only showcased the military brilliance of King Henry V but also demonstrated the effectiveness of the English longbow against heavily armored French knights. The battle’s significance goes beyond a single day of combat—it influenced the course of the war, shaped national identities, and left an enduring legacy in both military history and cultural memory. 
  To fully understand Agincourt, one must first examine the broader conflict in which it took place. The Hundred Years’ War (1337–1453) was a series of intermittent battles and political struggles between England and France, primarily over territorial claims and the right to rule France. The origins of the war can be traced back to the complex feudal relationships of medieval Europe. The English monarchy held vast territories in France, including Aquitaine, a rich and strategically important region. However, growing tensions between the English and French crowns, combined with disputes over succession, led to open warfare. 
  A key factor in the war was the question of who had the legitimate right to the French throne. In 1328, the death of Charles IV of France left the French crown without a direct male heir. Under French succession laws, Philip VI of the House of Valois was chosen as king. However, England’s King Edward III, who was the grandson of a previous French king through his mother, claimed the throne as well. His assertion of this right in 1337 marked the official beginning of the Hundred Years’ War.

  Practice the Pause - Jesus'...

  Caroline Oakes

  These days, many of us live in a state of overreactive fight-or-flight response and chronic stress. The demands of modern life pull us in all directions and can often put the meaningful connections in our lives at risk—connections to our deepest selves, to others, and even to God. 
   
   
   
  But there is good news. New developments in brain science have recently proven that an intentional practice of pausing for a few minutes of meditation, prayer, or other contemplative practice actually rewires our brain in ways that make us calmer, less reactive, and better able to see the bigger picture. 
   
   
   
  In Practice the Pause, spiritual director and writer Caroline Oakes offers easy-to-understand explanations of how this new brain science is confirming what every spiritual tradition has been telling us for millennia: by practicing the pause, we become more self-aware and better able to understand others. We become more "God aware." With a refreshing focus on the Eastern Christian understanding of Jesus as a master of wisdom, Oakes shines a spotlight on Jesus's own centering pause practice as a transformative path for personal and social change. We learn that even a seven-second pause practice can move us beyond the fight-or-flight responses of our ego in our daily lives and actually equip us to cultivate the common good in the world.
