Good Men

I was introduced to the work of Amy Zerner and Monte Farber around 2008 when a friend gave me a birthday gift called “The Truth Fairy: The Enchanted Pendulum & Message Board Kit” It is a divining tool to help the user connect with Spirit. I was delighted since I am of a metaphysical bent and have used it many times over the years as a guide to assist with some questions I had about ‘life, the universe and everything’. Together, Zerner and Farber are the minds, hearts and souls of their company called Enchanted World. With a vast array of products that include books on various metaphysical subjects, tarot cards, art, clothing, decorative items, to meet them is to witne…

Why loving someone deeply changes you too. “Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.” ― Carl Jung For the longest time, I thought self-love was something I had to do alone. Like I had to shut myself in a room, do some journaling, sip green tea, and meditate my way into self-acceptance. It was what was told to us- the self-help books, the productivity “guru”. And while those things helped, something else helped me much more than that. Something no one ever really talks about. Loving others helped me love myself. Truly, deeply, profoundly. It sounds ironic, I know. We’re told you have to love yourself before you lov…

https://www.forhers.com/news/destinations-for-fitness-lovers-to-visit By Lauren Ward for Hers Scheduling a trip for pleasure is excellent for your mental health, but it also triggers some challenges when you’re working on physical health goals. From limited food options on the road to small hotel rooms with little room to move around, balancing having fun and getting in daily movement takes extra effort.Some cities, however, are better suited for naturally getting in more exercise and outdoor time. Hers looked at the 50 most populous cities in the country to find the best travel destinations when prioritizing fitness and weight loss or management, then ranked each one b…

Not too long ago, I had a revelation in the weirdest of places: a fictional fantasy book. When reading A Court of Silver Flames, I related to the main character more than anything I’ve read before. The self-hatred, the need to punish herself, her inability to feel deserving of anything good, the bad behaviors to numb herself, the underlying rage from her past…it struck a chord on infinite levels. I decided, at the very least, that the daily crying had to stop. Was I going to be on my deathbed in my old age and think how the entirety of my life was nothing but sadness? Shouldn’t I get a reprieve from my own punishment for merely existing? To help curb the spiral of cryi…

By Mass General Brigham Communications | Harvard Gazette New research suggests that following a Mediterranean-style diet may help offset a person’s genetic risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease. The study, published in Nature Medicine and led by investigators from Mass General Brigham, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, found that people at the highest genetic risk for Alzheimer’s disease who followed a Mediterranean diet — rich in vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grains, and low in red and processed meats — showed slower cognitive decline as well as a greater reduction in dementia risk than those at lower genetic ris…

By Evelina Staykova & Ildiko Otova, The Loop A new Pact on Migration and Asylum is gradually coming into force. As it does so, Evelina Staykova and Ildiko Otova examine its solidarity mechanism, a central — but not new — element of EU migration policy. While the mechanism holds potential for positive change, they warn that it also carries significant risks The Common European Asylum System has long struggled with inconsistent implementation. The distribution of burdens among member states at the European Union’s external borders has also been unfair. That’s why solidarity was supposed to be central to the revised policy on migration management and asylum. Yet despi…

By Jennifer Weeks Humans have turned to nature for solace and revival for centuries, without knowing exactly why it makes us feel better. “It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men’s hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of the air, that emanation from the old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit,” Robert Louis Stevenson wrote in the mid-1870s. But what is that subtle something, and why does it affect us so profoundly? In “Nature and the Mind: The Science of How Nature Improves Cognitive, Physical, and Social Well-Being,” neuroscientist Marc Berman brings the data, drawing on his own research and work by…

Why Relationships Aren’t About Perfect People, Just Perfectly Weird Adjustments So, I recently hit a life-size “duh” moment: we all have quirks. Some of us are hot-tempered fireballs, some of us are quiet as ninja cats, and some of us… well, we just overthink which way to hang the toilet paper. And yet, somehow, society expects us to magically fit these jagged personalities into a “happy, healthy relationship.” Newsflash: that’s not how it works. Relationships aren’t about finding a flawless human (spoiler: they don’t exist). They’re about spotting the quirks you can tolerate — and occasionally, learning to tolerate yourself too. Here’s the real trick: compromi…

— In today’s digital marketplace, speed is not a luxury—it’s a requirement. Shoppers expect instant responses, fast-loading product pages, and seamless checkout processes. Yet, many e-commerce websites suffer from sluggish performance caused by excessive third-party scripts. These include tracking pixels, analytics tools, chat widgets, and personalization engines. While useful, they can slow a store down to a crawl if not carefully managed. This is where magento 2 hyva theme development becomes a game-changer. The Hyvä theme is designed to eliminate unnecessary complexity by reducing reliance on heavy scripts and bloated libraries, offering merchants a streamlined alter…

By Denise-Marie Ordway We updated this piece on the four-day school week on Aug. 27, 2025 to include new research and other information. We have updated it several times since we first published it in June 2018. More than 2,100 public schools in 26 states have switched to a four-day school week, one of the leading researchers on the topic, Paul N. Thompson, estimates. Many make the change hoping to recruit more teachers, save money and boost student attendance. In Texas alone, the number of schools adopting the condensed schedule has soared — from 30 schools during the 2020-21 academic year to 506 in 2024-25, The Texas Tribune recently reported. Small, rural schools f…

By Jarah Jacquay “We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.” — Sir Winston Churchill Churchill made this point in 1943 as Parliament debated how to rebuild the bombed-out House of Commons. He insisted it be restored to its original, narrow form — not for efficiency, but for its formative effect. The intimacy of the space had cultivated directness, accountability, and serious engagement. Its physical constraints had produced moral habits. Design doesn’t just reflect our values — it forms them. Whether it’s a debating hall or a neighborhood street, the built environment teaches us how to live together — or how to avoid one another. If we want citizens who are eng…

— Educated youth are successful in school and life. Both teachers and parents need uncomplicated, effective resources that will teach young people effective literacy skills. Reading worksheets provide repetitive practice in a structured way that strengthens necessary skills such as comprehension, vocabulary, and critical thinking. When adults choose appropriate materials and correctly implement them, youth become confident and appreciate reading. Why Reading Worksheets Assist Children in Learning? Research shows that regular practice with quality worksheets improves reading skills measurably. Students who do systematic reading exercises score higher on understanding tes…

Those days… it was all wild and messy. Like jumping straight into the ocean without even checking how deep it was. I didn’t care if I drowned — in fact, I wanted to drown in it. Back then, if I liked someone, the rest of the world just disappeared. My heart would beat faster just seeing them walk into the room. One small glance from across the crowd, and it felt like my whole body woke up. I didn’t hold back. I didn’t think twice. I didn’t even know how to slow down. But now… it’s different. Not worse, not better, just different. Somewhere along the way, I learned what it feels like to lose someone you’ve given everything to. So without even realising it…

Rear-end collisions are some of the most common types of traffic accidents in general, and Phoenix is not an exception. This sprawling city sees its share of rear-end collisions, but the consequences of these accidents are often underestimated.

Serious injuries, and lengthy legal disputes are often the result of rear-end collisions in Phoenix, which is why understanding how an experienced Phoenix car accident lawyer can pro…

We tend to imagine love arriving with fireworks. A grand confession. A kiss in the rain. A movie scene we can replay in our heads. But in real life, it’s almost never like that. It’s in the coffee they remember you like. The way they text to ask if you made it home. The half-smile they give you across a crowded room, like the two of you share a secret nobody else knows. … Why the Brain Loves Small Gestures From a neuroscience lens, our brains respond to patterns more than single moments. A one-time act might make you smile, but repeated small kindnesses build trust, releasing steady waves of oxytocin — the same hormone that bonds newborns to their parent…

— This content is for informational purposes only and is not intended to provide legal advice. Florida courts encourage alternative dispute resolution (ADR) as a way to move cases toward resolution without the cost, delay, and uncertainty of trial. One of the tools in this system is non-binding arbitration. Although less widely discussed than mediation, non-binding arbitration plays a distinct role in Florida’s alternative dispute resolution (ADR) landscape. Understanding how it works — and how to prepare for it — can help attorneys, clients, and mediators make the most of the process. What Is Non-Binding Arbitration? In Florida, non-binding arbitration is a court-or…

By David B. Sarwer, Temple University On July 28, 2025, a 27-year-old gunman entered a New York City office building that is home to the National Football League’s headquarters. He shot and killed four people and injured one other before killing himself. In a note found in his wallet, he claimed he had chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, a degenerative brain condition believed to develop from repeated traumatic brain injuries. He asked experts to study his brain. CTE has received much attention over the past two decades as multiple NFL players have been diagnosed with the condition after their deaths. The 2015 movie “Concussion,” about a forensic pathologist nam…

By Jill Rosen-Johns Hopkins Kanzi could also recognize caregivers from their voices alone, an ability never before tested on bonobos. The work, led by Johns Hopkins University’s Social and Cognitive Origins Group, answers key questions about how animals manage to keep track of their groupmates and uncovers yet another aspect of human social cognition shared with our closest relatives. “People think social intelligence is a thing that makes humans unique—that because we have to manage so many different relationships, we might have a range of cognitive tools for doing so that will only be found in an ultra-social species like humans,” says senior author Chris Krupenye, a…

The pharmaceutical industry has long been a cornerstone of modern healthcare; however, in recent years, its reputation has come under intense scrutiny. A rising number of class action lawsuits against major drug manufacturers have exposed safety concerns, misleading marketing practices, and questionable pricing strategies. For many consumers, these lawsuits have triggered a deep mistrust of “Big Pharma” and sparked a growing demand for alternative, affordable health solutions—chief among them, vitamin supplements.

Love can feel complicated… But occasionally, it’s really quite simple. You don’t necessarily have to have grand gestures or over-the-top confessions to be sure if someone is entirely in love with you. Actually, psychology teaches us that it is often the small, persistent behaviors that reveal the extent of someone’s feelings. As Dr. John Gottman, a renowned relationship psychologist, once stated: “Successful long-term relationships are created through small words, small gestures, and small acts.” So, how do you know whether your partner is deeply in love with you? Let’s dissect three strong, real-life indications. … 1. They Put Your Happiness Above Their Own…

The first time I canceled my own plans to wait by the phone, I told myself this was what love required. The second time I muted my favorite music because he called it “annoying,” I called it a compromise. By the third time I found myself anxiously rehearsing conversations to avoid disappointing him, I didn’t recognize the person in the mirror. I had become a satellite orbiting someone else’s sun, and the darkness where my own light had been was beginning to terrify me. This wasn’t love, it was self-erasure disguised as devotion. … The Slow Fade of Self We often enter relationships with the unconscious belief that love means merger. We trim our edges to fit together…

The crew in the treatment bay of the Life Flight helicopter saved my life. I sought them out on the one-year anniversary of my accident (11/20/2011). I asked the pilot how he dealt with the trauma behind him. He talked about ignoring stuff. Curt said, “I turn away when they load accident victims in the back. If I looked, the medical team would probably have another patient. I don’t want to know what’s going on back there. I can hear it when things are getting dicey, but I try to ignore it.” Curt is a pro at ignoring stuff because he cares. He tunes out so he can do his job. What happens in the treatment bay is irrelevant. Paying attention to everything will drive you …
