You remember how looking outside your window and just taking a deep breath makes you feel like you could be okay? Like, maybe, in that moment, you could survive? And then we snap back to the reality of blaring horns, loud advertisements, attention-capturing notifications and many more things. It leaves little space for us to think and re-center ourselves, given our invariably busy lives. This book is a collection of stories, poems and recollections from writers all around the globe, in an attempt to remind you (and me) of how important giving yourself some love can be. It can be simple or complicated or messy or difficult but at the end of it all, it’s certainly beautiful!
There must only be a handful of people who’d want to work throughout their life and not want some time alone. It is a thought everyone comes across when they’re asked to choose, or decide on a change in their careers, “Till when?” What if someone told you that a series of smart choices made by you can ensure a glorious life, without having to burn the midnight oil? I believe there isn’t anything one cannot do, and that everyone is just a decision away from a different life. A few basics in place, a strong foundation and some strategic moves are all you need, to go after the life you’ve always wanted. It really is pretty fundamental and yet we tend to overlook the importance of it. So, go on my friends, the earlier you start, the better! Pick up not just a book, but a better tomorrow!
In this heartfelt and hilarious debut from Ambika Vohra--that's Netflix's Never Have I Ever meets Jenny Han--one girl tackles a question that changes the trajectory of her senior year: "How have you gotten out of your comfort zone?" That's the Stanford admissions prompt that valedictorian shoo-in Aisha Agarwal can't answer. Comfort zone? Her life's been homework and junk food for as long as she can remember. Not exactly the thing college essays are written about. So, when her crush, Brian, asks her to winter formal, Aisha thinks her fate is changing . . . . . . until Brian stands her up. As if on cue, a banged-up Volkswagen arrives outside the dance; the driver--a guy her age--profusely apol...

Tumors and cancers are insidious diseases characterized by uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells that extend beyond their usual boundaries and disrupt the normal functions of affected organs. Forming the second of the four volumes devoted to tumors and cancers, this volume focuses on the head/neck, cardiovascular, respiratory and digestive systems. Each chapter presents a state of the art summary of tumor/cancer of a particular organ/type in relation to its definition, biology, epidemiology, disease mechanism/pathogenesis, clinical signs, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.
Abstract: This paper reviews empirical findings from economic analyses of the role of gender equality and women's empowerment in reducing poverty and stimulating growth. Going beyond the large literature documenting the impact of female education on a range of development outcomes, the paper presents evidence on the impact of women's access to markets (labor, land, and credit) and women's decision-making power within households on poverty reduction and productivity at the individual and household level. The paper also summarizes evidence from studies examining the relationship between gender equality and poverty reduction and growth at the macro level. Although micro level effects of gender equality on individual productivity and human development outcomes have been well documented and have important ramifications for aggregate economic performance, establishing an empirical relationship between gender equality and poverty reduction and growth at the macro level has proven to be more challenging. The paper concludes by identifying priority areas for future research.
