The lines between our work and our personal lives have become increasingly blurred. Between working from home, demands that don''t fit neatly within an eight-hour workday, and growing factors affecting mental and emotional well-being, it''s difficult to compartmentalize your professional identity from your personal life. For leaders, that brings new challenges when it comes to supporting the success of your people. As individuals, it requires greater clarity around what success means to you and how to achieve it. The key to building a future of work where both employees and the bottom line thrives is equipping individuals at all levels to create it. In On Purpose: Strategies for Living and Leading, the 13 authors address challenges faced by leaders, individual contributors and even entrepreneurs that aren''t necessarily new, but whose impact are significantly changing how we live, work, and lead today. Topics including leading in times of crisis, creating a psychologically safe work environment, reclaiming your power when you feel professionally marginalized, overcoming fear, burnout, and habits that sabotage your productivity, and building authentic confidence. This book is the third installment in the On Purpose series published by Isha Cogborn and Epiphany Institute, focused on amplifying diverse voices in personal and professional development.

Her Faerie Tale is getting awfully grim. Deor Smithfield had it all figured out. She had a great education, a new job teaching at a good university, and a plan to move across the country to start her new life. Then her body betrayed her, and she seemed to be falling prey to the same wasting sickness that killed her mother. When medical science failed her in spectacular fashion, Deor''s grandmother told her that her long-lost father was more than just another deadbeat dad - he was a faerie, and she''s a Changeling, half-human, half-fae. Now Deor has to rush to Faerie in search of her missing father before his magical parting gift kills her. She''s in a new world with no friends, no money, no job, and only a few days to find her disappearing daddy before she''s kicked back out into the mundane world to die. Oh yeah, and somebody''s hunting Changelings in Faerie. Changeling''s Fall is the first volume of the Eisteddfod Chronicles, the stunning debut contemporary high fantasy series from Sarah Joy Adams and Emily Lavin Leverett.

55% OFF for Booksellers!!! Do you crave fried foods but you''re wary of their effect on your waistline? You may want to consider adding the air fryer to your arsenal of kitchen tools. It''s a relatively new - and incredibly popular - appliance that helps create healthier versions of the fried foods you love. The popularity is because it''s a new way to be healthier. The air fryer works like a convection oven and sits on your countertop. It uses circulating hot air - and some oil if you choose - to cook and crisp the food in the basket inside. You can use it without adding any oil, or you can add a little, which Plotkin says generally amps up the flavor. You''ll also want to be careful not to overdo it. The air fryer is a healthier alternative to deep-frying, but that doesn''t make it the healthiest cooking method around. Cleveland Clinic cautions that air frying might result in people thinking it''s okay to eat fried food more frequently than they should. In this wonderful guide, you will find many delicious and affordable recipes to take the advantage of your fantastic appliance. What are you still waiting for? Grab your copy now!

New York City, like other major cities around the world, has acknowledged the problem of climate change, undertaken a comprehensive risk assessment, created a suite of adaptation and mitigation planning initiatives, and begun to implement policies to decrease the city''s contribution to the problem and to make the city less vulnerable to the effects of climate change. This detailed analysis of the city''s climate change resilience initiatives concludes that, although many of the city''s initiatives provide a model for other coastal communities, the initiatives likely still fall short of what is required to sufficiently moderate harm from dangerous interference with the climate system. The city''s robust suite of initiatives put it ahead of the pack as compared to most other U.S. municipalities, especially with respect to comprehensive reform of zoning and building codes, integrated mitigation and adaptation planning, transparent climate change-related data analysis initiatives, and commitment to reduce GHG emissions 80% by 2050 from 2005 levels and progress toward that goal. However, the city also faces a host of wicked policy binds, ineffective regional structures, a lack of support at the federal level, and numerous conditions that constrain its ability to remain resilient. In light of this, the “toughness” theme that runs throughout the city''s plans risks undermining its robust data analysis and reporting initiatives by instilling in New Yorkers a false sense of security with respect to both the scope of the problem and their local government''s ability to protect them from it. The city faces an equally wicked policy bind with respect to waterfront development. Given the foreseeable risks of increasingly intensive and frequent coastal storms, flooding and storm surges, coastal municipalities must carefully evaluate their waterfront development policies to assure consistency with future climate risks and vulnerability and adopt regulations that curtail or eliminate waterfront development in high-risk areas, encourage or require relocation away from vulnerable areas, and take maximum advantage of opportunities to develop natural flood-mitigation infrastructure.

Early childhood development (ECD) is a multidimensional process that takes place from conception until age five. These years mark the most important period for an individual''s development. In this period, the building blocks of the brain and nervous system are formed, and critical skills and capacities begin to develop across a number of interrelated domains (Nelson 2000). Despite this ample international evidence, the state of ECD in Qatar has thus far been understudied. Child development outcomes in Qatar are below what is expected given its level of economic development. Gaps in self-regulation skills persist, with a third of children ages three and four being unable to attend to, and focus on, simple tasks without being distracted easily. As a tripartite collaboration between the World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE) at Qatar Foundation, the Ministry of Education and Higher Education of the State of Qatar and the World Bank, this study begins to fill this gap by providing an overview of the state of ECD in Qatar and setting forward recommendations to strengthen ECD in the country. The report first analyzes ECD outcomes in Qatar, examining how Qatar fares in five ECD domains compared to other countries. Section two builds the evidence base in the Qatari context by testing whether specific ECD programs are associated with improved child outcomes in the country. Section three takes a systemic view, analyzing the policies that govern ECD in Qatar and offers recommendations for their enhancement. Finally, section four concludes with a summary of key policy recommendations and some considerations for their implementation.
