    The book 25 to Life is based on Waulee Evans's twenty-five years as a corrections officer in the Department of Corrections and how he viewed it. Also, he will show you how jail affects both the inmate and the officer almost in the same way, and everything that can happen to an inmate can happen to an officer in jail. The minute you walk through the doors and down those halls, you could very well be the next recipient of some unpleasant attention or a life-changing situation. Nobody in jail is immune from violence, disrespect, or being injured. The officer is in just as much danger as the incarcerated person.

    Sometimes, life gets stressful. Your boss is a jerk, your job is awful, the rent is due, and your car has a flat tire. We've all been there, and we all hate it. We wish we could have a better job or make more money (because that would solve all our problems), but for whatever reason, we can't. That's life and life goes on, right? Maybe for most of us. But for one ordinary warehouse worker, this couldn't be further from the truth.One day, while at work, he literally falls into a life of luxury. He finds himself as a man by the name of James Moreaux, a billionaire businessman with a fortune, a mansion, a fast car, and a butler who is always there when he needs him. He regularly attends lavish parties and has friends everywhere he goes. His life becomes the polar opposite of what it was like prior to his incident. He becomes someone--someone who can be whatever he wants. He has the world at his fingertips, but at what cost? Are the sacrifices worth the possible gain? With every choice he makes, he weaves his fate into this alternate reality until it consumes him completely.

    MLK Jr.'s Detroit Dream: Memoir of a Civil Rights Foot Soldier is an autobiography of an African American black girl who was indoctrinated into the civil rights movement at the age of eight when Dr. Martin L King Jr., the freedom icon, marched in Detroit during the summer of 1963. The memoir puts, in chronological order from a child's point of view, the events, major personalities, triumphs, and tragedies in American history from the time of the Detroit Dream March in 1963 until Dr. King's tragic death in 1968.This book was inspired by young children who were mesmerized by the oral recitation of author Sharon Elizabeth Sexton's memory of when Dr. King came to Detroit and delivered his first version of the "I Have a Dream" speech. "Children do like history if they feel they can be a part of it," Sexton discovered and put the story into written form as the memories came back while writing. Sexton realized that she and her baby boom generation of the 1950s went through a lot of life-changing history between the time Dr. King first talked about his dream for the children of America and his untimely death.In recent history, American youth are once again witnessing life-changing social circumstances. Many of the youth don't realize that their grandparents, who were part of the baby boom generation, were faced with similar issues. This book can be used by multiple generations to bring up similarities, talking points, generate conversations, and provide teaching moments that will bring the different generations of family, community, and nation together to talk about African American history and current events.

    I don't know why I did it; let's call it therapy,I suppose I'm out of touch with modern poetry.Or just too old and grumpy for this modern stuff.I've tried to understand it, but haven't had much luck.I don't know why I do it; maybe it's a curse. But now and then, I need to rattle off another verse.I wake up of a morning, and lying there in bed,Start putting words together, somewhere in my head.I might stop it if someone tells me they're no good,Or I might slash their tires, and write another book.

    The tension between property and equality, as the Founders expressed it, or liberty and equality as commonly expressed today, has been a central issue for democracy since its beginning in Athens. The US founders addressed the problem with commitments to the protection of individual liberty and to equality of opportunity. Central to these commitments are private property rights and their enforcement, recognizing the diversity of individual interests and abilities and their rights to develop both as they choose. As James Madison put it in "The Federalist Papers," "the protection of the faculties (of men and their diversity, the original source of the rights of property) is the first object of government." That this is the greatest obstacle to a pursuit of a uniformity of interest as it would imply an equality of outcomes instead of opportunity. Thus, a political commitment to the pursuit of equality fosters continual questioning of its achievement and on what terms. In his new book, Property v. Equality--America's Enduring Political Rivalry, Mack Ott weaves the history of our democracy with the evolution of its political parties, the role of voting, its government and its institutions, with the central concern for the evolving tension of equal liberty with various and different levels of property. From the outset, Ott argues the problem of slavery presented deep moral and political problems. The importance of political compromise between the states to secure the adoption of the Constitution led the founders to put off abolition and settle initially for an end to importation of the enslaved in twenty years. Most states outlawed slavery well before 1860, but the end of slavery did not come easily. It was the presidency of Abraham Lincoln and his restoration of the Union that removed the biggest obstacle to liberty and equality. Ott explains that Lincoln also had a full agenda of other policies. Lincoln's "fair chance" aimed to provide Federal assistance to the emergence of greater equality. He successfully introduced three programs to enhance public welfare and the common good: assistance to develop roads and a federal highway system, the Homestead Acts to aid people to acquire property and residences at subsidized prices, and the Land Grant College program to assist states in developing institutions of higher education for young people. Lincoln's notion of a fair chance reflected his desire to expand the Federal role in promoting the common good and the enhancement of economic equality. The Civil War also brought to the center of political attention a practical obstacle to the achievement of balance between liberty and equality, according to Ott. This was the inability of federal revenue to provide a growing revenue base to support economic growth and intervention in major shocks, especially war. Except for a brief period during the Civil War, income taxation had not been available because it was viewed to be unconstitutional. In 1913, the Supreme Court ruled that direct taxation of citizens did not violate the Constitution. In the implementation of the Sixteenth Amendment, Congress allowed for progressive taxation--people of higher incomes would face higher tax rates than those with lower incomes. Lincoln laid the basis for an expanding Federal role in the economy and showed the way to progressively fund the Federal government. Perhaps the second major challenge to the pursuit of liberty and equality led to the election of Franklin Roosevelt. To confront the Great Depression, Roosevelt embarked on a major expansion in the Federal role in the American economy and control of much of the private sector. His success led to new debates over that role, in which liberty-versus-equality issues were central. With the death of Roosevelt and end of the Second World War, the political economy continued to expand the role of the government and to st

    Inspiration for creativity can come from within yourself, thoughts, feelings, the inner world, or from the physical world, the outer world.The inspiration for the Illustrated Book of Halloween, Vol. I, came from my wife, Debra. She decorates the living room for every Holiday. New Years Eve, Valentines Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, July 4th, Halloween, Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas.Her favorite, of course, is Halloween. She dresses as a witch on October 31st, cooks witch's stew for the neighbors, and makes sure the Trick-or-Treaters get special treats.After observing her numerous decorations of witches, skeletons, Jack-o-lanterns, rats, cats, and bats. I began to see images in my head. I needed a hobby anyway. I was tired of watching Mr. Commercial for twelves minutes of a half hour T.V. program. The result is The Illustrated Book of Halloween, Vol. I. Yes, I am a kitchen table artist.I hope it is a source of visual entertainment, an inspiration to craftsmen and women to create Halloween or seasonal artwork. It would be an excellent seasonal coffee tabletop book. Or you can take a page, frame it, and hang it on the wall.I hope you enjoy The Illustrated Book of Halloween, Vol. I as much as I did in its creation.

    If God changed me, he can change anyone, if only you let him. See, the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. And my life's journey proves that. I thought I was in control, but the path God took me down let me know that I (you) have to have Jesus as my (your) Lord and Savior. But that's if you want to go to heaven after this life here on earth. I lived just how I thought I wanted to live. But down the road I realized that I have a choice, even in my mess. I was not satisfied; something was missing, and the reason I knew that was because I was a backslider. I knew the difference between the two lives (saved and unsaved). It seemed like the more I lived like I wanted to live, the worse things got for me. But God. I remember that all I had was the Word of God. So I started to apply the Word of God to my everyday living. I started to seek his face. I already knew his Word, so I started to pray every day. Seeing that my prayers were being answered made me pray more and more. Then I started to believe again, and then I started to receive again. God had his hand on me the whole time I was out there. I stood on God's promises, and I still stand on them today, because God is not a man who would lie. Now I am a child of God, and I know I am a chosen one. If you let go and let God be the head of your life, he will change you too. Please believe me.

    Being immortal from the outside sounds like a positive thing. But when you're the one that has to live an everlasting life with no end, watching everyone you have grown to love die, time after time, then, it becomes your curse. Throughout history, men have risen up to be heroes and villains. Somehow, there has always been a balance. At times evil seems to prevail. Like a swarm of locusts, it can be anywhere and everywhere, taking over all that is good. But somehow, good makes a comeback and evens the score. Being evil may be easy, but being good and righteous takes a lot of work and sacrifice. This story tells the tale of two men, Michael and Nathan, who are cursed with the burden of being the gatekeepers of good and evil. They pass away from the mortal realm, only to be resurrected as gods. The men are cursed by the gods, who watch them struggle through life as they persuade kings, queens, and warriors to fight for their cause, helping tilt the scale of history in their favor. Follow their trials and tribulations as they tell their side of the story throughout history. Witness their journey as they navigate famous historic battles all over modern-day Europe. Unbeknownst to them, their actions have laid the foundation of what the world is today. Nemesis explores the consequences of seeing the world in parallels of 'good versus evil' and being subjected to paths in life that may not be of one's choosing. Will Michael and Nathan be able to break free from the bonds placed on them by their gods? Or will their demise be their own making? Will it be heaven or hell on earth?

    Pere was born into a middle-class family. His father was the chief priest of the community shrine. Although he was a brilliant boy in his primary and secondary school days, he was not able to go to the university because his father's magnanimity turned out to be a disfavour. His creditors could not pay up. He struggled through life until his father arranged his marriage. Although this marriage was blessed with children, it was a tumultuous one. It was an arranged marriage that was meant to raise children of average or more-than-average heights because the father, the mother, and Pere were below the average heights. Ebiere, the wife, was a tall girl from a family of tall individuals.The marriage was devoid of courtship, which was a foundational error.

    Take Me to the RiversBoating the Rivers of America from Wisconsin to FloridaBoating down the Mississippi, Ohio, Cumberland, Tennessee-Tombigbee Rivers, and Mobile Bay to the Florida Intracoastal in the fall of 2018 might be described in retrospect as a series of near misses. The river conditions were extreme, characterized by the worst fall flooding in recorded history. And at the end of our trip, the strongest category 5 hurricane ever to make landfall, Hurricane Michael, engulfed us within its eye.Take Me to the Rivers chronicles my husband's and my fifteen-hundred-mile journey by boat to both remote and well-traveled parts of some of the greatest rivers of America. Setting out on a course to Punta Gorda, Florida, we began our river adventures on the Upper Mississippi River in La Crosse, Wisconsin, continuing all the way through St. Louis, Missouri. We then found ourselves in the wild and ruthless wilderness of the Mississippi River up to the junction of the Ohio River. We traveled up the Ohio to the Kentucky Lakes, where we rested for several days and got a glimpse of the elegant and pampered side of river boating. Continuing south, we entered remote areas that had yet to be charted in GPS. Traveling on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Rivers, through Mobile Bay, we finally arrived on the Florida Intracoastal. In October 2018, our trip was cut short abruptly and with finality in Panama City when Hurricane Michael destroyed our boat and our dreams of boating our way through retirement.The book is written as a series of everyday short stories--stories about the people we met and the rivers that tried to swallow us alive. With its in-depth descriptions, it provides interesting insights for Quimby's Guide travelers as well as for those who have only been able to dream of boating from Wisconsin to Florida. In addition, the uniqueness of the river people we met on this journey and the extreme river and weather conditions we lived through will make this book appealing to an adventurous and curious audience.Highlights that stand out in the author's mind include a 360-degree fascination with the Mississippi River bluffs, the World War that was averted with an LST-325 Navy warship, our only tourist trap destination in Hannibal, Missouri, the incredible spectacle of the St. Louis Arch, dining at Bobby's Fish Camp, the winners and losers along the Kentucky Lakes, the statue of the Mistaken Klansman, floating bollard mastery techniques, and Hurricane Michael in Panama City.As much as I loved writing about these and other stories, our close encounters with the people we met along the way are the lifeblood of the book. It was a matter of life and death on the rivers in the fall of 2018. Many people shared their lives with us on this journey; many people helped to save our lives--the lives of total strangers.

    This book is designed to be a self-help book; that is, to encourage you to become a better athlete, to persevere in your sport from football, running, gymnastics etc., and to become a better person. The book also Includes some once-in-a lifetime sports stories to amaze you as well as to entertain you. I've been a successful journalism professor for over 25 years, a letterman for a top 20 college football team (University of Wyoming), a member of the top national military service football team (Quantico Marines), a pole vaulter in high school and college, and a category winner in various races from a mile run to several marathons and triathlons. All of these events, I feel, were the results of perseverance and God's help. I am hopeful that your achievements will be better than mine. I also hope you will not be a quitter and to persevere in your sport. Your rewards may surprise you!
