From the mindset you move with, to the habits you create, and the tools you carry—learn how to stay sharp, stay ready, and stay safe in every aspect of your daily life!Dannah Eve has always been street smart, and for the past several years, she has been sharing her advice, self-defense strategies, and safety tips with millions of engaged social media followers. With the encouraging tone of a savvy older sister, she has built a platform that teaches women how to think like a threat—mastering situational awareness, calculated deception, and the art of always being ready. This is survival on your terms. These are just a few of the rules she lives by: <ul><li>Lie to survive: You don’t owe a stranger your truth. Especially if it compromises your safety.</li><li>On a date: Don’t rush to share your personal details—a Tinder match is not yet a trusted person.</li><li>Living alone: Keep a pair of men’s shoes by the door; you’ll be a less-obvious target.</li><li>While commuting: Never leave any personal information visible—such as your workplace ID, nametag, or packages showing your address.</li><li>On vacation: Walk with confidence and a strong stride; a distracted person is an easy target.</li><li>While driving: Never pull over for an unmarked vehicle; anyone can order police sirens and flashing lights online.</li><li>At school: Research and use the available campus shuttles and safety services.</li><li>Online: Phishing emails, fake texts, scare tactics—don’t bite, don’t click. If it’s “urgent” or too good to be true, it’s probably a scam.</li><li>At a concert or other public place: Plan your exit strategy before you need it.</li></ul>In an unpredictable and often frightening world, Dannah Eve shows you how to weaponize your intuition—and back it up with real-world safety tactics that actually work. Because when you build confidence, you operate with authority—and that ripple effect can protect more than just you.&nbsp;

Mastering the Invisible Shifts That Shape Your Career

The Five Stages of Career Growth

How the financialization of healthcare has eroded the quality of care, driven up prices, and worsened health inequalities Financial actors and healthcare leaders increasingly view healthcare organizations as financial assets to be bought, sold, and managed for maximum profit, regardless of the effects on patient care. Uncovering how the federal government enables financial opportunism in healthcare, Healthcare in the Age of Finance Capital offers bold ideas for overhauling a failed system. Rosemary Batt and Eileen Appelbaum provide a unique analysis of the financialization of healthcare, a process in which a growing proportion of the healthcare economy is owned and controlled by the financial sector. Healthcare organizations increasingly depend on financial machinations and the earnings derived from them rather than revenue generated from patient care. The extent to which financial calculations overshadow the healthcare mission depends importantly on institutional legacies, reimbursement rules, and the failure of regulatory oversight. Batt and Appelbaum show how differences in regulations and financing rules shape whether financial actors can penetrate distinct healthcare segments—from hospitals, nursing homes, and ambulatory care to physician specialties, home health, hospice, and autism services. Nonprofit healthcare is not immune from this financial logic. Evidence-based, accessible, and informed by real-world examples, Healthcare in the Age of Finance Capital sheds critical light on how financial deregulation coupled with the relaxation of health, tax, antitrust, and labor laws have allowed financially driven actors to exploit public funds for private gain at the expense of healthcare organizations, patients, communities, labor, and taxpayers.

Most middle-market CEOs assume "profit rainmaking" is all about sales. It isn't. In Profit Rainmaking(TM), value-creation strategist John Lanier reveals a far more powerful truth: real Profit Rainmaking is a holistic enterprise system-one that aligns strategy, operations, culture, and customer value into a single, scalable engine for growth and succession readiness.Drawing on decades of experience with over 200 companies and more than 75 private equity firms, Lanier exposes why so many promising businesses stall, sell for less than they could, or collapse under the weight of their own growth. He offers a proven blueprint and a resourceful toolbox for honing the unique value proposition, capturing market share, and outmaneuvering industry "Goliaths."This is the playbook for business owners keen to double their company, achieve operational excellence, attract prime talent, and corner the attention of financial and strategic suitors for legacy succession with confidence.This book helps you: <ul><li>Apply the Nine Universal Truths to predictably increase enterprise value</li><li>Reduce risk through disciplined strategic planning and execution</li><li>Develop inspired, accountable teams who confidently scale the business</li><li>Strengthen your value proposition with objective customer evidence</li><li>Bridge your customers' needs to the value of your solution</li><li>Anticipate operational capacity so growth never overwhelms capability</li><li>Identify the "silent killers" that erode profitability and valuation</li><li>Compete-and win-against larger, better-resourced competitors</li><li>Effectively execute years in advance to facilitate premium exit options</li></ul>Through candid stories, hidden-in-plain-sight patterns, and practical frameworks, Lanier helps CEOs and their teams avoid the most common and costly traps: seller's remorse, operational strain, weak succession planning, customer dissatisfaction, and the myth of the heroic salesperson who "saves" the quarter yet unintentionally hurts the business.Whether you are scaling toward a future exit, regaining momentum after setbacks, navigating investor expectations, or building a company that can thrive without you, Profit Rainmaking is your field guide for building a resilient company with loyal customers, exceptional operations, and inspired teams.For the Davids and Davidas of the business world-those who fight every day to compete, grow, and win-this book shows you how to make profits rain, on purpose and on demand.Profit Rainmaking is your manual for stewarding your teams in continuously improving excellence!

Every year, nearly nine million workers leave Uttar Pradesh in search of better opportunities. What would it take for them to stay?
Drawing on migration theory, government data, and field research, this book examines Uttar Pradesh's bold effort to build a rural enterprise ecosystem that creates jobs and reduces distress migration. It introduces the STACK Model, seven institutional reform proposals, and the HUM-UP Green Mission-a long-term framework for enterprise-led growth. Blending economic analysis, public policy, and history, it traces the journey from the Girmitiya migration of Purvanchal to today's Lakhpati Didis, whose success reflects the promise of local enterprise. Looking ahead to Census 2031 as a key milestone, the book argues that the foundations for reversing migration are now in place. The journey is far from over, but for the first time, a state is creating the conditions that allow its people to choose to stay.
"For 190 years, the poor of Purvanchal left on a piece of paper called a Girmit. This book is about the generation that may finally choose not to."

Hello Seven

There have been numerous attempts to trace a historical, if not evolutionary, line through the development of discourses on justice. As impressive as this tradition is, the everyday use and labeling of people, actions, and structures as 'just' or 'unjust' seems to us to be far removed from it. In political discourse, from left to right, people make use of the semantics of justice, and in another sphere, a pluralistic use is emerging, namely in the world religions. Social developments seem to be characterised precisely by the fact that they claim to be evaluated from the perspective of 'just/unjust': this applies to the gender debate, the discourse on climate justice, intergenerational justice, questions of restorative justice, memory justice, or epistemic justice and ontological injustice in the religious discourse of Catholicism. At the same time, the spread of the vocabulary of justice seems to be both an expression and a harbinger of a crisis in the sphere, because if the distribution of goods, access to status, the use of essential goods, access to educational places of remembrance, and so on are perceived as 'unjust', then this indicates a 'crisis' in which a sphere can develop in a more just or more unjust direction.

Discourses of Justice - Indicators of Crises?

Das moderne Recht wirft viele grundsätzliche Fragen auf: Ist Recht mit Gerechtigkeit notwendig verbunden? Was ist überhaupt Recht und was Gerechtigkeit? Wie verhalten sich Recht und Moral zueinander? Warum und unter welchen Bedingungen ist Recht verbindlich?
Diesen und zahlreichen anderen Fragen zu Recht, Ethik und ihrer Bedeutung für Staat und Gesellschaft geht Mahlmann in seinem Lehrbuch anhand von vielen Beispielen nach - von der Folter über die neuen Herausforderungen Künstlicher Intelligenz für das Recht bis hin zu Perspektiven einer internationalen Friedensordnung in einer Epoche neuer Kriege. Dabei schlägt er einen Bogen von der Antike bis in die Gegenwart und entwickelt vor diesem historischen Hintergrund Antworten auf zentrale systematische Fragen der Rechtsphilosophie und Rechtstheorie.

When Anna Marie Hahn stepped off the train in Cincinnati back in 1929, nobody saw a killer coming. To her neighbors, she was just a sweet German immigrant, a devoted mom, and a hardworking neighborhood nurse who went out of her way to look after lonely, elderly bachelors.

But Anna had a dark side that was costing her a fortune: a massive gambling problem at the horse tracks.

When her luck ran out, she found a foolproof way to cover her losses. She'd move into an old man's life, cook his meals, clean his house, and work her charm until he signed over his savings or changed his will. Then, almost like clockwork, that old man would come down with a sudden, agonizing stomach bug.

From the first suspicious inheritance to the massive courtroom showdown that shocked the nation, Arsenic Anna tells the gritty, unvarnished true story of a master manipulator who gambled with human lives-and became the first woman executed in Ohio's electric chair.

ONE OF THE GUARDIAN'S 'BEST BOOKS TO DIP INTO THIS SUMMER' 'The Bowie you thought you knew is recast completely' The Spectator 'A transfixing look at David Bowie's life through a spiritual lens... fresh and revealing' Publishers Weekly How David Bowie's search for meaning inspired him to write the music that defined a generation. In this wide-ranging biography, Peter Ormerod explores the quest for spirituality that powered David Bowie's creativity from his earliest recordings to his death-defying final album. Bowie's genre-expanding, era-crossing genius had an extraordinary impact on popular culture but his life-long search for spiritual truth and enlightenment has been overlooked. From Bowie's first musical encounters as a choirboy, this book traces his spiritual obsessions over the years. As a young musician at the start of his career, he was enraptured by Tibetan Buddhism. It was the first step in a spiritual journey that would generate his most profound lyrics and music. From the Kabbalah-influenced tracks of Station to Station to Ziggy Stardust's messiah complex and the profound affinity between Heroes and Christian thought, Ormerod sheds new light on the spiritual traditions behind Bowie's genius. Taking Bowie's spiritual explorations and faith seriously, Ormerod shows us how this quest for meaning propelled him through his darkest moments and biggest successes, lending his music a timelessness and depth that has spoken to so many people across the world. Whether experiencing a dark night of the soul in LA during his occult phase or reciting the Lord's prayer in front of thousands of concertgoers, Bowie was always searching for that universal truth that lies beyond everyday reality.
