It is 1937, on the eve of World War II, and young Bernard lives with his Polish-immigrant family in a lively Parisian courtyard. Though few other Jews reside there, the Parkiets feel a deep sense of belonging among the courtyard’s vibrant cast of characters. For Bernard, the courtyard is both sanctuary and playground—a magical world where he watches his father varnish furniture, gets into mischief with irritable neighbors, and shares pain au chocolat with his best friend, Titi.</p><p>But when the German occupation descends on Paris, Bernard’s world is upended. In July 1942, just hours before the Nazis arrive to arrest the Parkiet family, their neighbors unite in a courageous act of solidarity, hiding them in a vacant warehouse. The courtyard, once a place of laughter and routine, transforms into a refuge shadowed by fear. At only nine years old, Bernard shoulders the dangerous responsibility of venturing out each day to find food for his family.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>The U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging reports that 1.3 million older adults and people with disabilities are under guardianship. Senators Bob Casey and Mike Braun have highlighted serious flaws in guardianship laws, citing alarming statistics from the Government Accountability Office.</p><p>In New York, the Farley family is embroiled in a legal battle over the guardianship of 84-year-old Dr. Ena Farley. Jonathan Farley claims his mother was unjustly placed under guardianship and removed from her home by police, an incident caught on video. He alleges that his brother Chris, acting as Power of Attorney and temporary guardian, is responsible for her year-long confinement in a nursing home, despite no finding of mental incompetence. Jonathan says authorities and agencies have sided with Chris, denied an independent medical evaluation, and restricted contact with Dr. Farley.</p><p>A court hearing in June will address the dispute.

Senators Bob Casey and Mike Braun have highlighted serious flaws in guardianship laws, citing alarming statistics from the Government Accountability Office.</p><p>In New York, the Farley family is embroiled in a legal battle over the guardianship of 84-year-old Dr. Ena Farley. Jonathan Farley claims his mother was unjustly placed under guardianship and removed from her home by police, an incident caught on video. He alleges that his brother Chris, acting as Power of Attorney and temporary guardian, is responsible for her year-long confinement in a nursing home, despite no finding of mental incompetence. Jonathan says authorities and agencies have sided with Chris, denied an independent medical evaluation, and restricted contact with Dr. Farley.</p><p>A court hearing in June will address the dispute. The Farley case highlights ongoing ethical and legal concerns in guardianship, echoing calls for stronger protection for vulnerable individuals.</p><p><a href='https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCZw6IGlhtj3GuC_VlEOFCA'>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCZw6IGlhtj3GuC_VlEOFCA</a></p><p><a href='http://www.yourlotandparcel.org'>http://www.yourlotandparcel.org</a></p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1206776/support">Support the show</a></p>]]></content:encoded>

He explores how the diversity principle—the belief that people with varied backgrounds, experiences, identities, and perspectives produce better outcomes by working together—first took root in the world’s first modern research university, founded in Germany in 1810. This principle inspired John Stuart Mill’s on Liberty, a cornerstone of academic freedom, and shaped Charles Eliot’s transformation of Harvard in the late nineteenth century to encourage the “clash of ideas.” It also underpinned the twentieth-century equality efforts of figures like Thurgood Marshall, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Pauli Murray. By recounting the history of diversity through the lives and work of these and other influential thinkers, Oppenheimer makes a compelling case for embracing diversity as a central value in education and a vital ingredient for a vibrant intellectual and political culture.

Regardless of the path they choose, one thing is clear: A lot of parents feel that starting a family has at least temporarily derailed their career.</p><p>Therefore, companies need most: resilience, empathy, focus, crisis management, and a long-view perspective. Their book invites leaders to reimagine working parents not as a liability but as an untapped competitive edge. Written for executives and managers, The Parenthood Advantage explores how companies can build cultures that value parents—and thrive because of it. But the book also serves as a roadmap for parents and soon to be parents—male and female—who want to know how best to prepare for leave and how to transition back to the workplace smoothly. Some of the actionable insights for parents include:</p><p>Set expectations early: Initiate a conversation with your manager three to four months before leave starts. That allows time to plan coverage, discuss communication preferences (clean break vs. lightly looped in), and begin a dialogue that makes the transition smoother on both sides.</p><p>Know your company’s policy around parental leave: And do not assume your manager does. Not all HR departments prioritize equipping managers with this information. Share with them what you learn.</p><p>Schedule a resolute “returnship” conversation: Get it on the calendar before you leave so that it can take place a couple of weeks prior to coming back.

None of the current Standard Math Curriculum programs today can achieve this.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>His personal journey started as a retail pharmacist just trying to help diabetic patients. What he learned over the last decade is that teaching patients about the impact of diet, medications and lifestyle is the most valuable tool for improving health outcomes.</p><p>He wanted to use his background as a pharmacist to fill that need for patient education. Unlike pharmacy school, he now has evidence-based information at his fingertips. And for the curious-minded, there are several clever ways to discover where conflicts of interest in the government, food, and pharmaceutical industries have shaped our misunderstanding of chronic disease. ​</p><p>On a personal level, he found the ketogenic diet to be a powerful tool in helping him drop over fifty pounds and fuel his newly found passion for the watersport, SUP (stand-up paddle). He was able to achieve this goal and significantly improve various health markers. This personal dietary experiment added passion to his career transition from a traditional retail pharmacist to an educator and coach. Before he knew it, he was offering diabetes classes and leading a weekly support group. ​</p><p>With recent advances in wearable technologies like CGMs (continuous glucose monitoring) and smart watches, patients can get important feedback in real-time regarding the consequences of their choices.

What he learned over the last decade is that teaching patients about the impact of diet, medications and lifestyle is the most valuable tool for improving health outcomes.</p><p>He wanted to use his background as a pharmacist to fill that need for patient education. Unlike pharmacy school, he now has evidence-based information at his fingertips. And for the curious-minded, there are several clever ways to discover where conflicts of interest in the government, food, and pharmaceutical industries have shaped our misunderstanding of chronic disease. ​</p><p>On a personal level, he found the ketogenic diet to be a powerful tool in helping him drop over fifty pounds and fuel his newly found passion for the watersport, SUP (stand-up paddle). He was able to achieve this goal and significantly improve various health markers. This personal dietary experiment added passion to his career transition from a traditional retail pharmacist to an educator and coach. Before he knew it, he was offering diabetes classes and leading a weekly support group. ​</p><p>With recent advances in wearable technologies like CGMs (continuous glucose monitoring) and smart watches, patients can get important feedback in real-time regarding the consequences of their choices. His role is to facilitate learning as they navigate their own personal trek back to better health. </p><p><a href='https://www.unscriptedpharmacist.com/'>https://www.unscriptedpharmacist.com/</a></p><p><a href='http://www.yourlotandparcel.org'>http://www.yourlotandparcel.org</a></p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1206776/support">Support the show</a></p>]]></content:encoded>

Her personal and professional journey began many years ago when she realized that she desired to help people through their challenges so that they didn&apos;t have to suffer alone as she had in her youth. She pursued that path diligently, majoring in psychology at Dartmouth College, doing psychological research for her professors, and beginning her work in psychiatric hospitals and group homes for troubled adolescents from the age of 19. After graduation, she moved to Colorado to take a break before grad school. It was there that a series of events, including a fateful tick bite, altered her plan and led her down a path of severe illness, depression, hopelessness, and despair, a dark time in her life.

This understanding relates to pain that is unrelated to systemic disease such as cancer, kidney stones and alike. This theory relates to symptoms at the neck, back and extremities. This is a theory that he has created to provide an understanding of the mechanism behind why people have pain. Without this understanding then pain is arbitrary and without reason. There is no way to prevent and only a limited ability to address it when it appears. The reason that most people have pain is because we are all trying to perform functional activities during our daily lives. This requires strength in all the appropriate muscles. If the strength is not in all the appropriate muscles, then a breakdown will occur, and a muscle will strain and emit pain.
