Smartphones have transformed the world with their convenience and capabilities. A single small device can replace a landline, camera, CD player, and road map—but all of this miraculous technology comes with a cost.
The dark side of smartphones is not always so obvious. Checking your phone constantly from dawn until dusk has become normalized, and most people don’t realize they’re trapped in a very real addiction.
Smartphones have particularly powerful effects on our children, making them shallow, depressed, and unable to think critically. They exercise less, rarely socialize, get worse grades, and have lower self-esteem. In the most severe cases, they may even take their own lives.
Despite how common this addiction is, it is possible to overcome. The Smartphone Addiction Restriction is a guide for those who see the danger of the situation. We may not be able to quit using smartphones entirely, but with this tested and proven plan, we can limit their activity to the most essential uses.
In The Smartphone Addiction Restriction, you’ll learn:
And much more!
You can’t live life to the fullest while you’re staring at your phone. Even though smartphones are incredibly addictive, you—and your children—can break free of this dangerous habit. When you put down your phone, you’ll find yourself happier, more confident, energized, and actually smarter! On The Smartphone Addiction Restriction plan, you’ll cut your screen time down by 80% and possibly even further.

And Tim Grittani, who transformed his life savings of $1,500 into over $12 million in returns.

Why Spend All Your Time Tracking Charts When You Can Have a Robot Do It?
Are you losing sleep worrying about your trades?
Do you spend all day watching your screens, anxiously awaiting the market’s next move?
Are these emotions getting in the way of your trading strategies?
Trading manually is outdated.
These days, the smart way to trade is not through monitoring individual stock prices and entering orders one by one.
In the United States, around 70%-80% of all trading volume in the stock market is done automatically using algorithmic trading.
Algorithmic trading uses computer programs following pre-set instructions to execute trades.
By using these algorithms, trades are placed automatically when the market meets the pre-set criteria.
No need to constantly check the markets and sit by your computer in case a trading opportunity comes up.
The algorithm will find these opportunities for you, based on your parameters, and act on them without you having to do anything.
Not only does algorithmic trading save you plenty of time, but it also keeps your trades from being affected by your emotions or your inexperience.
Algorithmic trading has plenty of benefits. However, because it involves computer programming, it can be challenging to get into, especially if you have no coding background.
While you won’t learn everything from just one book, this guide will give you a starting point from which you can build on.
In Algorithmic Trading, here is just a fraction of what you will discover:
And much more.
Even if you’re doing perfectly well with manual trading, you can still benefit from algorithmic trading.
It allows you to be more hands-off but enables you to trade even more – no more missing out on ideal opportunities because you weren’t online.
Plus, since you’ll have more time, you can use that free time to plan even better trading strategies.
Take advantage of this new technology and increase your chances of success while decreasing your workload.

Stop looking around for someone to save your community. You are the hero they need.
Is there a cause that’s close to your heart that you want to contribute more to?
Do you want to serve your local community in a bigger way?
Do you want to do more than volunteering or donating?
If so, starting your own nonprofit may be a good idea.
A nonprofit organization is one that works for a social cause or serves the public good.
Whether you want to improve literacy, stop animal cruelty, or feed the hungry, a nonprofit is an effective channel to make a significant impact.
While volunteering or donating are extremely helpful, they are often limited in what you can do.
As a volunteer, you only get to join whatever activity a group organizes.
As a donor, you can earmark what you want your funds to be used for, but you don’t have a say in what programs they will implement.
With a nonprofit, you’ll be able to have more control over what to do, who to do them for, and how much to spend on it.
If you have plenty of ideas for how you can help your cause but have zero idea about starting a nonprofit, then look no further.

"As a physician, I am constantly struck by how little guidance the medical community provides around care at the end of life -- it is truly one of the greatest gaps in our care of patients. The Dying Process takes a bold step toward beginning to fill that gap by leaning into some of the difficult conversations that arise around the topic of death and dying." - Lauren Pace, MD

We are overcome with shock, sadness, and fear.
As a Nurse Practitioner, educator, and Death Coach, Katie Duncan has been an end-of-life guide for many precious humans and a mentor to their heartbroken families.

She will leave caregivers feeling empowered and prepared in what is likely to be the most challenging, vulnerable, and distressing time of their life.

Now I know for many, gardening can be a little intimidating. How many times do you hear sad stories of people putting in a whole season's worth of work only to get a few disappointing patches of growth?
Our lives are insanely busy these days. So when you invest your precious free time and end up with nothing to show for it, it can get very disheartening.
In the end, we often find the errors responsible for ruining our harvest often fall to more minor decisions we missed or weren't aware of along the way. 'Nothing' choices that seem simple and easy to manage in the moment but will have a lasting effect throughout the whole season.
Yes, for some, gardening comes as a natural talent. For others, some research and self-education may go into the mix. But with a few practiced steps, it can become an easily repeatable process, and with that, anyone can create a fine small space garden.
Back yard… patio… deck… living room… kitchen…
Small space gardening is a constant exercise in creative design. Finding ways to fill in bare spots both inside and outside our homes with growth and color. But selecting various plants you can enjoy is as easy as shopping for clothes.
Getting them to a point where they will flourish year after year… that is where we can run into trouble. Many times over, people will buy beautiful flowers at the local nursery only to see them wilt away as they attempt to care for them.
Not for any lack of interest or effort, but simply because they took steps that weren't optimal for the plants' needs.
In this book, you will discover:
Gardens are a contradiction of nature. We bury seeds down in the dirt so they will grow up towards the sky. Plants that have evolved to ward off pests coexist in gardens with other varieties that intentionally draw bugs in.
Consider the growth of plants is a fairly automatic process. Yet frequently, we must keep these plants under observation to ensure they are protected from harsh environments, appropriately watered, and that there is guaranteed adequate sunlight.
Too often, I have heard from friends and family that gardening is too complicated or takes up too much of my time and effort.
And each time, I can't help but point out it is not difficult. It does not need to take a great deal of time and effort if you don't want it to. What it does take is the right effort.
Even if you can only spare 30 minutes a week, I know anyone can start a small, successful growing space. No design is too small to enjoy.
Start with a couple of pots or a wide planter on your windowsill. Become comfortable with the basics. After that, I'd be willing to bet you'll be thinking about your whole backyard for next season. Everyone is capable of becoming a successful home gardener.
Our existence is fragile. I learned that in many intricate ways, so I do not take today for granted. I do not know what tomorrow will bring. I do not even know if tomorrow will come.
On the eve of Thanksgiving 2016, I received the diagnosis of stage 4 lung cancer. Next to dying, I fear the spread of cancer to my brain and losing my ability to think, speak, or write. This loss would be devastating to me.
The fragility of our life made me want to be authentic. Therefore, I am writing this memoir to be authentic—we become our true selves when we author who we are.
I am afraid of being forgotten. Death does frighten me. But more than dying, I am scared of having no one remember me or, even worse, of being recognized differently from who I was. At the same time, I have never thought that I was entitled to ask others not to forget me. But, not to be forgotten is precisely what I yearn for.
While I am writing for the other, I am simultaneously writing for myself. I am one of the readers and will test the subject as it gets written. My criteria are stricter. I want to say, “This is my narrative.”
I need to be able to say, “This is my narrative.”

Did you feel truly prepared for the real world after you graduated? If you want to know how to make sure your students are being prepared for the real world, then keep reading...
A report produced in 2018 for CASEL showed that 52% of recent graduates believed they were not prepared for success after high school. It is not a secret that the education system is full of flaws, and students are not being taught the Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) skills they need for everyday life.
On top of that, schools don't know how to handle diversity. We talk about being inclusive, but the curriculum is structured as a standard for every student, but every student has different skills, interests, struggles, needs, cultural backgrounds, and lifestyles. This is causing many students to perform poorly because they are forced to follow the standard. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) focuses on creating equity in school by making education adaptable and flexible. That way, every single student can perform at their best and learn what matters.
Education desperately needs to change. That's why this book is going to inspire you and guide you to start changing the lives of your students little by little. In Equity Insight, you will find:
Every student needs to feel supported and valued. What are you waiting for to start making a change in your student's life? Students have never been more in need of Social-Emotional skills than in this time of uncertainty, anxiety, and depression.

Despairing, he chooses the hardship of missionary work only to be disillusioned by its harsh realities.

The book tells the stories of 39 patients with incurable lung cancer. It aims to help patients, families, and healthcare providers understand the experience of living with cancer.

Instead, they choose different strategies to maintain and restore their health. They also leverage a variety of approaches to cope better with their struggle.
The book is for cancer patients who are tarrying at the limits of time. It is also for those who live around patients with cancer: caregivers, families and friends, and health care providers. People who struggle with other illnesses will also find aspects of their story reflected here. Also, the ones who have experienced a crisis of identity will discover elements of their story here as well. By sharing the experiences of the forty authentic individuals, the book opens the space for them to teach others. This book is about the essence of the human experience at its limits.
