Dear All, In our opinion, bringing Vladimir Putin to Justice would be the right thing to do - and make him resign from office - so that Peace and Harmony can be restored in the International Community. We are also advocating that Russian lawmakers, military officers and civil servants should receive an Amnesty, who participate in restoring Peace between Russia and Ukraine. A continuation of Russia's war in Ukraine will increasingly harm Russia's reputation in the world, and isolate the Russian people economically, socially and culturally - which is unnecessary and can be avoided, if Russia restores peaceful relations with the International Community, which would include the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukrainian territory. Once Peace between Russia and Ukraine has been manifested, we intend to replace NATO with a new International Peacebuilding Alliance (IPA) - where both Russia and the US will have a key and instrumental role. We would like to emphasize, that we are expecting both Russia and the United States to fall in line with this new International Peacebuilding Policy. Once Peace and Prosperity has been restored in the world, I will be quite happy to step down as world leader. But until we reach that stage of Peace and Harmony in the International Community, I suggest we all pull in the same direction: ) We are also advocating the founding of a world organization that is above all other governments - even above the UK, Russia and the US - so that Peace and Prosperity can be manifested in the world. Until Peace on Earth has been manifested, it will be the NGO BTB-Global Peacebuilding which will handle matters - such as bringing the UK, Russia and the United States into a new International Peacebuilding Alliance (IPA). The aim would be, to convince both the US and Russia to work together towards complete denuclearization and world peace - which I am sure will happen in due course of time - provided that we all work together and trust each other, and believe that Peace on Earth is possible. PS: We also would be willing to inspect nuclear submarines - in particular from the UK, Russia and the United States - to ensure that gender equality, good etiquette and gentlemanly conduct is upheld on all hunter-killer submarines, that sail across the Seven Seas: ) God Bless / Бог благословил / Бог благословить / Love and Light Acting president of Российская Федерация, the UK, US and European Union Mark / BTB-Global Peacebuilding 8.

Ranked only 20th in Global Education - but filling the number one spot when it comes to self-esteem - the US has become a country of confident idiots. Many American people - such as ex-National Security Advisor John Bolton - personify what American politics is all about: Aggression, open hostility and winning; no matter what the cost. This book also addresses America's aggressive foreign policy - that Militarism and warmongering play a legitimate role in international politics - which is not only counterproductive, but also distorts national spending priorities; with millions of poverty stricken Americans taking refuge in a negative lifestyle of individualism - leading to crime, alcoholism, drug-addiction, homelessness and increased gun-violence. Critical, but also deeply sensitive and humane, this book explores social scientific and Christian approaches, so that America can be made great again. Peacebuilding Policies - such as conflict resolution and international cooperation - are also explored in this work. US HEALTHCARE CRISIS: Amid the pandemic, the crisis in the US healthcare system has become evident; as up to 35 million Americans are estimated to see their health coverage disappear in the middle of this Covid-19 nightmare. And premiums for those who retain their health insurance in this crisis could increase by up to 40%. As stories circulate of $34,000 coronavirus medical bills, the uninsured remain terrified of going bankrupt just to get tested and treated for Covid-19. In many cases, Americans just cannot afford to go to a doctor or the hospital. Hence it's imperative that a Basic Income Guarantee (BIG) - together with basic health insurance - is implemented in the US. It should also be noted, that inequality and social discrimination of people is increasing dramatically in the US. As things stand, the Biden administration is unwilling to implement a Basic Income Guarantee (BIG); which would be necessary to guarantee basic human rights and to stop the discrimination of unemployed people; which causes grave political instability and civil unrest in the US. In a world where there are no guarantees and as citizens who must be under government rule, we should at least be assured that we will be able to feed, clothe and handle the simplest needs of human beings. Hence implementing a basic income guarantee is an essential prerequisite to counteract inequality and to ensure basic human rights - in the US and the International Community.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and a documentary from Ken Burns on PBS, this New York Times bestseller is “an extraordinary achievement” (The New Yorker)—a magnificent, profoundly humane “biography” of cancer—from its first documented appearances thousands of years ago through the epic battles in the twentieth century to cure, control, and conquer it to a radical new understanding of its essence. Physician, researcher, and award-winning science writer, Siddhartha Mukherjee examines cancer with a cellular biologist’s precision, a historian’s perspective, and a biographer’s passion. The result is an astonishingly lucid and eloquent chronicle of a disease humans have lived with—and perished from—for more than five thousand years. The story of cancer is a story of human ingenuity, resilience, and perseverance, but also of hubris, paternalism, and misperception. Mukherjee recounts centuries of discoveries, setbacks, victories, and deaths, told through the eyes of his predecessors and peers, training their wits against an infinitely resourceful adversary that, just three decades ago, was thought to be easily vanquished in an all-out “war against cancer.” The book reads like a literary thriller with cancer as the protagonist. Riveting, urgent, and surprising, The Emperor of All Maladies provides a fascinating glimpse into the future of cancer treatments. It is an illuminating book that provides hope and clarity to those seeking to demystify cancer.

This volume argues that while twentieth century educational psychology has made important advances, a time for reassessment has arrived. Recent years have seen the rise of neo-Vygotskian analysis and situated cognition within the discipline of cognitive psychology. The authors of Post-Formal Reade have picked up where these theories leave off to more fully develop the specific connections between the social and the psychological dimensions of learning theory and educational psychology.

This book expands the sociological canon by introducing non-Western and female voices, and subjects the existing canon itself to critique. Including chapters on both the ‘founding fathers’ of sociology and neglected thinkers it highlights the biases of Eurocentrism and androcentrism, while also offering much-needed correctives to them. The authors challenge a dominant account of the development of sociological theory which would have us believe that it was only Western European and later North American white males in the nineteenth and early twentieth century who thought in a creative and systematic manner about the origins and nature of the emerging modernity of their time. This integrated and contextualised account seeks to restructure the ways in which we theorise the emergence of the classical sociological canon. This book’s global scope fills a significant lacuna and provides a unique teaching resource to students of classical sociological theory.
