Endodontic mishaps during root canal treatment are the most commonly encountered errors, affecting the treatment quality and possibly posing a risk to the patient's health. Separation of an endodontic instrument during the root canal therapy is one such frequently encountered mishap. Clinicians should assess the risk over benefit, while attempting non-surgical instrument retrieval at apical third. Exceptionally, endodontic periradicular surgery is not always feasible due to anatomic limitations. In such circumstances intentional replantation might be an alternative. This case report presents the successful management of an endodontic mishap through intentional replantation.

He also has a Ted Talk interview which is good for those who do not have time to read the book. [ put in link here] *****
Amanda McFarlan of LPCC is leading a book study of this on February 24th
White Fragility, Robin D’Angelo
D'Angelo is a white American woman who runs racism awareness workshops in the corporate sector. This book explores the ways in which whites see Blacks through racist stereotypes, and at the same time deny that they are doing so, at work and in society generally.
Between the World and Me, Ta Nahesi Coates
Coates is a Black American writer who argues that the problem with racism in the U.S. is that white people really think that being white matters, that skin colour is what defines them, and that has been a disaster for people of colour, and white people.
Policing Black Lives, Robyn Maynard
Maynard is a Black Canadian whose book provides a richly detailed, scholarly account of how anti-Black racism permeates Canadian society, and has done so since the first Europeans arrived here and imported enslaved Blacks to New France. Excellent book for anyone who thinks that anti-Black racism is an American problem only.
The Skin We're In, Desmond Cole - March 16th, Maggie Wilkinson of ESG leads discussion
Cole is a Black Canadian, briefly a journalist for the Toronto Star before being unjustly dismissed for being too much of an activist. His book is an excellent chronicle of the acts of racism which made news ( or were kept quiet) in 2017, mostly in Toronto. Cole does a very good job of providing insight into how anti-Black racism works on the personal and systemic level in Toronto.
So you want to talk about Race, Ijeoma Oluo
Oluo is an African American woman. In So You Want to Talk About Race, Ijeoma Oluo guides readers of all races through subjects ranging from intersectionality and affirmative action to "model minorities" in an attempt to make the seemingly impossible possible: honest conversations about race and racism, and how they infect almost every aspect of American life.
Crosshairs, Catherine Hernandez - March 31st, Rev. Stephen Milton of LPCC leads discussion.
Hernandez is a Toronto-based author who writes fiction from a queer BIPOC perspective. Her first novel was Scarborough, which looked at the lives of racialized poor people in that part of the city. Crosshairs is the tale of a racist takeover of Toronto by the Ontario government, set in the very near future. Black, brown and queer people are rounded up or on the run. Hernandez deftly extrapolates from the present to a racist future that looks all the more plausible after the January 6th insurrection in the US.


Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) or Corona virus is a new type of coronavirus that is transmitted to humans. Corona virus infection called COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease 2019) was first discovered in the city of Wuhan, China at the end of December 2019. Until March 2, 2020, more than 80 thousand confirmed cases have been reported in China. Of these cases, 49 thousand were identified in Wuhan City. Epidemiologically, the spread or distribution of this disease has a wide social and economic impact on the world. Many literature studies about the COVID-19 outbreak, such as causes, natural history of the disease, even to the preventive and medical treatment. Since the end of 2019 until April 2020, there have been many published literature or literature studies at both national and international levels, so this paper aims to examine literature studies related to COVID-19.


(2008) One important thing to note about this book is that it is closer to non-fiction than fiction. It's tempting to dismiss it because of it's classification but I went to watch Eggers talk about how he wrote it and it's not really fiction. We can't fall asleep to unspeakable things that have happened to many innocent Sudanese people (all detailed in the book), and we have to tell others this truth.
As I near the end of this book, the scenery and action becomes so much more intense and horrifying. Dozens of tiny story lines develope into surprise endings. The book engages me further, and I've already found myself crying several times and even breaking into a full-out sob.
It's one of those sobs like I had about the Kenyan slum of Kibera when it first entered my mind as a real, vast, unsuitable dwelling place for unfortunate people...of course I couldn't deny what was right across the street for 10 months.
It makes me think about how God, if you will, dwells inside of all of us yet can turn violently on him/her self because of greed and ego obsession.
Further, when you read this book ,you will know more about how the war came about and about the fact that it hasn't been going on just for 2 or 3 years -- it's been going on for a decade and a half at least.

"The more that you read, the more things you will know.
The more you learn, the more places you'll go." Dr. Seuss
At Lanercost Primary School, we believe that reading and communication are key life skills. Through an engaging English curriculum, we will help children develop the skills and knowledge needed to enable them to become lifelong readers and learners and to communicate effectively and creatively through spoken and written language and equip them with the skills. We want children to enjoy and appreciate literature and its rich variety. We want children to have a life-long love of reading and feel they can read for pleasure to a high standard.
We firmly believe that reading feeds children’s imaginations and opens up a treasure house of wonder and joy for curious, young minds. We also believe that every child should be given the tools to develop into an enthusiastic and confident reader both at home and at school. Reading improves language and vocabulary, inspires imagination and gives everyone the opportunity to develop and foster new interests.

Despite the high prevalence of depression, information about the burden of this disease in Switzerland is scarce. A better knowledge of the costs of depression may provide important information for future national preventive programmes, optimizing cost-effective budgeting. The estimates of national costs may improve the public’s awareness of depression and depression-related costs, breaking down the taboo of depression as an illness.

How to view Burmese or Shan language data in our catalog
Firstly, please ensure you have the appropriate fonts installed on your system. We work with Pyidaungsu.ttf for Burmese and Panglong for Shan. Secondly, you must set your browser to use one of these as its default according to the language desired.
Technical notes on catalog data
The Burma Study Center Chiang Mai library catalog began as a simple Author/Title/Category/Call Number table in Word document format. With the arrival of volunteer library expertise this data was imported unchanged via Excel into a custom-built FileMaker Pro database, and additional fields for mutiple Subjects, Publisher, Date, and ISBN data were added. A limited subject authority list was developed and utilised, based on LOC headings, although some original Category headings used remained, e.g "Essays", "Fiction", etc. The additional data was then retrospectively added for each title.
The limitations of the FileMaker-based catalog led to research, adoption and implementation of the Open-Source software SLIMS. Data was transferred via the CSV file import system to the new Senayan catalog. Inconsistencies are being gradually rectified to bring the catalog into line with international standards.
NOTES on language
As we begin adding titles in Burmese, Shan and Thai to our catalog, we have faced many policy decisions. We have retained English language subject headings for all titles. Titles have been entered in their printed language. Authors have been entered in their printed language with Anglicised names appended in brackets to facilitate searches.

In this beautiful, deeply moving poem, Maya Angelou inspires us to embrace the peace and promise of Christmas, so that hope and love can once again light up our holidays and the world. “Angels and Mortals, Believers and Nonbelievers, look heavenward,” she writes, “and speak the word aloud.

Ten Fundamental Attitudes for Spiritual Maturity
I’m convinced that most of us have a desire to be spiritually mature and effective in our ministries and our personal lives. We want to be known as a “lady of grace and elegance” in our character. But, I think we can all agree that everyday life presents a new set of challenges for us. Sometimes they are greater than we can bear to face. But God in His loving kindness has provided us with His presence in our lives, and thousands of promises for provisions in His Word. So, we look to Scripture and take in the instructions from our Wonderful Counselor for stability and confidence through the storms.
Of all the New Testament letters to the Church, those of First and Second Peter provide for the believer very practical applications as to the process of stabilizing oneself and yes, even growing spiritually through the journey of their struggles in life. Through this short study, we will learn ten fundamental attitudes for spiritual maturity. They are all doable and manageable and available to every single believer at any given point in time. By heeding God’s instructions and by faith applying them to our lives this outcome is a guarantee.

Are you trying to teach writing to a child who hates writing? This series is for YOU!
I’ve got two boys, one with Aspergers and one “neurotypical”, both who hate writing. I find it interesting because they went through a stage of filling multiple notebooks with comic book drawings and story lines. Yet when it comes to “writing class”, they tend to shut down or tear up or both.
So, I’ve resorted to finding non-traditional ways to teach writing. I’ve gotten lots of great ideas from Carol Barnier’s book The Big What Now Book of Learning Styles. This book is great for other subject areas as well. But let’s get back to writing.
When you have a frustrated writer, you’re going to need to spend time walking them through the process multiple times. Just accept that, remind yourself that the time you take to walk with them will pay off later, and grab some hot chocolate. It’s just the way it is.
I want my boys to learn about the research and writing process, but I can’t do it in a traditional way. Taking notes and then turning it into an outline, then writing paragraphs and sections and pages and pages would take us more than a year of kicking and screaming. So, how could I teach them about research without taking notes?
Yup, simple sticky notes saved the three of us from much frustration.
Our first time walking through this process, we studied our home state. I checked out lots and lots of library books about our state. Then over a week or two I gave the boys time to read through them. I also gave them a pad of sticky notes. Instead of writing information on note cards and gnashing teeth, I told them, “When you find something interesting, put a sticky note next to it.” Voila! They’re still learning the basics of the research project, I just removed the note cards!
There you go…the beginning of teaching writing without writing. If you come back next week, you can see what we did next.
In the mean time, head to the library for books and the dollar store for sticky notes. What topic will you and your kids study with sticky notes? I’d love to hear!

This paper re-evaluates the role that Plato confers to pleasure in the "Philebus. Thus, scholars such as D. Frede have taken the "mixed life" of pleasure and intelligence initially submitted in the "Philebus" to be conceded by Socrates only as a remedial good, second to a life of neutral condition, where one would experience no pleasure and pain.
Even more strongly, scholars such as Irwin have seen the "Philebus'" arguments against false pleasures as an actual attack on hedonism, showing -- in Irwin's words -- "why maximization of pleasure cannot be a reasonable policy for the best life. Thus, I offer alternative readings of controversial passages that have given rise to the prevalent interpretation criticized here, and advance positive evidence that at least some pleasures are seen by Plato as inherently good. In addition, I demonstrate that Plato's arguments against false pleasures do not by themselves constitute an attack on hedonism.
Rather, they can be seen as a strategy to show the hedonist that, in order to be a maximal, or even a consistent, hedonist, he should go for true, and not fake pleasures, if after all pleasure is the object of his pursuit. But, since this cannot be achieved without intelligence, then the mixed life of pleasure and intelligence is to be accepted even by hedonist themselves.

Pleasure junkies all around! Why it matters and why ‘the arts’ might be the answer: a biopsychological perspective


In this truly remarkable life story, Saray Khumalo shares her epic journey to the top of the world: Mount Everest. From her childhood in Zambia and Zaire, to a corporate career in South Africa, through marriage and motherhood, Saray harboured one overriding ambition: to reach the summits of the world’s highest mountains. She first summited Mount Kilimanjaro, and then others, but her ultimate goal was to conquer the world’s highest mountain, Mount Everest. After three unsuccessful attempts, Saray became the first black African woman to summit the world’s highest peak.
Her success was hard-won, though – along the way, she suffered severe personal setbacks, serious health issues and life-threatening injuries. But her perseverance finally paid off, and Saray’s success has helped change the narrative around high-altitude mountaineering – who belongs on the mountains, and whose stories are told. In this fascinating memoir, she shares not only her incredible mountaineering story, but also the lessons she learnt about life, perseverance and falling forward.

Why You Shouldnt Read This Book
Why You Shouldn’t Read This Book
- It is a book about sin. I realize sin is not our favorite topic. Far from it. Why? Because we all sin. Every day. It’s not just what we do, but it is part of who we are. Sin is part of our spiritual genetic makeup. We tend to say things like, “I struggle with…” or “My shortcomings are …”. Can we just face it? It’s called sin. And it’s ugly. For the most part, our culture finds sin laughable. Wanna destroy your social life? Just bring up the subject of sin and see what happens…
- It is a book about suicide. See, this little book shows us where and how to get what we need. It points us to the secret of abundant living. But the catch is that you have to give up everything, including your own life. That is, if you want to find real life. This whole thing about ‘taking up your cross’ is about dying to your own self and making Him your Boss. It’s about eighty-sixing your will.
- It is a book about un-religion. Most people think of Jesus as the man who started the Christian religion. It turns out he wasn’t just a man. And he wasn’t interested in religion. In fact, He routinely ripped the established religious status quo in favor of a New World Order that freely accepted whores, thieves, outsiders, and religious outcasts. If you’re looking for religion…keep looking elsewhere.
- It is a book about second chances. And third chances. And a hundred chances after that. It shows us how to get this life right, not just some kind of pie-in-the-sky-when-I-die-by-and-by ‘fire insurance’. It’s about being picked up by Love, dusted off by Grace, and having your tears wiped away by the Abba Daddy I secretly hoped was out there somewhere but was too afraid it was just a dream.
Unless, of course, you’re actually looking for some of those things…

Let us sing a song of revival. Let us get rid of a song of survival. We used to sing a song of survival. We were fighting against apartheid arrival. Now that apartheid had left us to survive. Now is the time that humanity is revived.
Afrika Writers Forum was founded as a platform for writers and readers at Khanya College Resource Centre in May 2009. The Forum started with informal meetings of writers and artists from Zimbabwe, Congo, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa in the library of the House of Movements. It is a platform where writers can discuss and proliferate their skills in the art of writing and find ways how to publish their texts. The writers meet on Wednesdays and Fridays from 14–16h in the sixth floor, 123 Pritchard Street, Johannesburg.


At Home With Friction
Our current exhibition is sited at the iconic Library of Birmingham, in the 3rd Floor Gallery space. The exhibition features a wide range of artwork from our archives, as well as new pieces created specifically for the exhibition. We will explore the evolution of Friction Arts’ practice over the past three decades or so, as well as our commitment to creating accessible and inclusive art experiences.
The exhibition includes a variety of media, including photography and visual art. The work is drawn from Friction’s extensive collection, as well as from new commissions created by artists from the company and associated with us.
We’ve got a strong connection to our city and its people, as you’ll see from the work on show. Birmingham is our home, and our work seeks to highlight the highs and lows, rights and wrongs and find ways to connect and celebrate the people that make it so very special.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a series of public programs, including artist talks, workshops, and performances. These programs will provide opportunities for visitors to learn more about Friction Arts’ work and to engage with the artists in conversation.
This exhibition is a celebration of Friction’s past and present, and a look forward to its future and is a must-see for anyone interested in contemporary art and the power of art to connect people and communities.

Clinical mechanics of the hand, 3rd ed.
Paul W. Brand, Anne M. Hollister. St Louis, MO: Mosby, 369 pp.
Clinical Mechanics of the Hand is intended for clinicians. The hand therapist and the hand surgeon will find the text invaluable. In addition, the authors' approach to functional anatomy of the hand and the upper extremity will surely spark the interest of students of static musculoskeletal anatomy. Medical students will better appreciate the hand's beauty and function after reading the chapter on the mechanics of individual muscles.
The first chapter, which involves terminology, is simplistic and uses nonengineering terms. The physical analogies are at times misleading, especially when the concept of elasticity is conveyed using the rubberband as an example. Nevertheless, the authors must be credited for simplifying various difficult concepts, including stress, strain, and viscoelasticity.
Some of these concepts are reinforced in a chapter on mechanical resistance. Tribologic principles, including the concept of hydrodynamic lubrication, are further presented in lay terms. Moment arms are discussed intelligently, both in terms of mechanical advantage about an axis and also with regard to stability about a particular joint.
The biological response of transferred tendon units, the appropriateness of most commonly used tendon transfers, and the underlying controversies are consistently reinforced throughout the entire text. The Blix curve, the movement of the hand and upper extremity joints, the axes of motion, and the degrees of freedom are all addressed in appropriate detail.
The chapters on external stress includes the appropriate use of surface tourniquets, the dangers of digital tourniquets, and the adverse mechanics of inappropriate splinting. Proper fabrication techniques for dynamic splints and static progressive splints are further addressed. The section on hand stiffness and adhesions is a practical guide to all surgeons who perform tendon transfers. The practical acts of surgery, such as thorough dissection of the donor motor, atraumatic tunneling methods, and proper suture techniques, are reinforced and elegantly described.
Commonly used tendon transfers for lower and upper motor neuron lesions are addressed in the chapter on the procedures used to restore balance to the hand. Throughout the text, however, the authors consciously make an effort to introduce insightful clinical knowledge with regard to the surgical procedures. A young hand surgeon in training will find the information invaluable, whereas the seasoned veteran will be able to better appreciate what went wrong or why it worked in light of the clinical mechanics presented. In short, the authors successfully present practical information derived both from extensive clinical experience and a thorough literature review.

Q & A with Beverly Schwartz, author of Rippling
How did you choose which Ashoka Fellows would be featured in the book?
I am privileged to know a fair number of Ashoka Fellows personally and I also had nominations from the 25 Ashoka country directors, so I was able to come up with a list of finalists that was a very balanced mix from around the world. All of them specifically illustrate one of the five approaches to system change–along with the inclusion and dependence upon many different types of changemakers as a criteria for their own successful spread of innovation.
How does Rippling fit into Ashoka’s global strategy?
Rippling is the first book and one of the only ‘products’ that Ashoka has to disseminate its mission and message. Many of our global offices have used David Bornstein’s How to Change the World (2004) to help people understand what social entrepreneurship is about; Rippling will update the Ashoka story and tell a new one. Many of the country offices have been inquiring as to when the book will be available and in what languages.
This is the first book entirely devoted to Ashoka and its Fellows and your first book as well after many years spent in the public and private sectors. Why now?
Working at Ashoka for the past eight 8 years, I discovered the wealth of stories that existed–and at the same time realized that if we were to attain an ‘Everyone a Changemaker™’ world (a world where everyone had the freedom and environmental, personal, and professional support to create change), a lot more people would have to be given the ability to visualize and understand what role they can play in creating that change. Over the past few years, more and more people have been attracted to the field of social entrepreneurship and intrigued with social innovation and social change. The time to write the book was right.
What kind of response did you get when seeking thought leaders to write the ‘Reflections’?
It was not as difficult as I thought it would be to get thought leaders to give their opinions to one of each of the five approaches. However, my ‘ask’ was not random, as I did a lot of prior research on well-known and ‘thoughtful’ people who could credibly converse on each strategy. My ask was, at the very least, grounded in subject matter compatibility. When I narrowed down my list of names, of course, it helped that for each one to the thought leaders who appear in the book, I had my one degree of separation who was willing to make the personal connection I needed to get to a ‘yes.’
How challenging was it to work with changemakers in so many different parts of the world?
With modern technology and a multilingual Ashoka staff who understood the objectives of my interviews and translated the two non-English speaking Fellows for me, it was rather seamless. I backed up each interview on both a hand recorder and on my Mac’s GarageBand application; one or the other seemed to pick up most everything I needed. Though I intended to interview everyone in person, when I physically could not, Skype did a wonderful job in connecting with Abdelfattah in Palestine (Chapter 18) and for asking clarifying questions for a few of the Fellows after the initial interviews.
From the Inside Flap
How can we address the critical challenges that threaten to destroy the foundations of our society and planet in these increasingly turbulent times?
Rippling reveals proven principles that drive significant change and draws on Beverly Schwartz’s vast knowledge and experience of working with hundreds of the world’s top social change leaders. Schwartz is vice president at Ashoka, the global organization that works to ensure that social entrepreneurs and their innovations inspire a generation of changemakers to help sustain and support large scale social change. In this groundbreaking book, she presents a time-tested model that any individual leader or organization can apply to bring about deep, lasting, and systematic change, based on five principles:
Restructure Industry Norms
Change Market Dynamics
Use Market Forces to Create Social Value
Advance Full Citizenship
These actionable principles are brought to life by the book’s compelling stories of everyday people who have made real changes around the globe. Throughout the book, Schwartz provides a blueprint to demonstrate how anyone, anywhere, can become an effective changemaker.
As Schwartz explains, the next-generation changemakers are in many ways the champions of this movement: the corporations that embrace new and more sustainable ways of doing business; the donors who want their money to effectively and ethically impact people’s lives; and the citizens who are trying to make a better life for themselves, their families, their neighbors, and their communities.
Rippling presents some of today’s most innovative and effective approaches to solving social and environmental challenges, and clearly demonstrates that when empathy, creativity, passion, and persistence are combined, significant, life-altering progress is indeed possible.

Barclay Simpson and the Pursuit of the Common Good in Business and Philanthropy
by Katharine Ogden Michaels
with Judith K. Adamson
Available Everywhere Books Are Sold
May 17, 2022
About Strong Ties
An in-depth look at the life of Oakland, California native, Barclay (Barc) Simpson, Strong Ties focuses on the set of convictions and leadership qualities that allowed Simpson to build a successful business from nothing and to become one of the leading philanthropists of the San Francisco Bay Area. In 1956, Barc founded Simpson Manufacturing Co, Inc., which he grew from a small, artisan business that fabricated metal connectors into a world-wide, publicly-traded company, known throughout the construction industry as a manufacturer of over 4000 distinct, highly engineered products for tying one structural element to another in residential and commercial projects.
In building the company, he developed a set of principles—revolutionary for their times—that placed employees at the center of the business, while also promoting ethical and community-oriented practices that helped grow the business as surely as the quality of its products. Seamlessly, he went on to apply these same principals to the art of giving money away, providing financial support and leadership to some of the most important non-profit organizations of the East Bay.
In 2022, as Business struggles with new ideas regarding the role of “Stakeholders” as well Shareholders; with how to balance the pursuit of profits with sustainable practices in the areas of “Environmental, Social and Governance” (ESG) concerns; and with recognizing and promoting a diversity of talent that reflects and enhances the communities within which companies operate, this book reads like a primer for understanding the kind of ethical leadership needed in the current turbulent moment.
What Reviewers & Readers are
saying about Strong Ties
Strong Ties: Barclay Simpson and the Pursuit of the Common Good in Business and Philanthropy belongs in memoir, business, and social issues libraries alike. It presents a powerful survey of California leader Barclay Simpson, whose ideals and drive embraced and changed the lives of many in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Main author Katharine Ogden Michaels, a family friend and insider, captures the complexities and contradictions of Simpson with great subtlety and aplomb. Judith K. Adamson also contributed to this compelling biography.
Simpson was an unlikely candidate for such wide-ranging changes, and is proof that individuals can come from ordinary circumstances to become extraordinary influencers.
His drive to save the family business, teetering on bankruptcy, would have been deserving of a story alone, but Simpson didn’t stop with the family’s wellbeing.
He went on to pursue a vision of cooperative and mutual business activities which empowered his employees, then translated this microcosm of business success to the broader world, offering lessons and insights that changed the perspectives and nature of many other businesses in the Bay Area.
Many books provide discussions of how to give back to or involve communities in business pursuits. Few adopt the practical, real-world applications that Barclay Simpson fostered in his life and world, making Strong Ties an exceptionally powerful portrait of success.
From concepts of transformational philanthropy to the projects Simpson successfully grew, readers gain insights not just into his life and philosophy, but on how these ideals translated to the real world.
Simpson tried many things, and never quit.
The book points out that “It is not just Barc and Sharon’s generosity, but their motives for and methods of giving, that moves…”
Readers interested in business links to community growth and the process of developing transformational philanthropic pursuits will find no better starting place than Strong Ties, which should be in every library strong in business or philanthropical topics, and an intrinsic part of business and book discussion groups about how to improve the world.
Katharine Ogden Michaels has written a powerful book that implicitly makes the strong case for an America we ought to create, an America we could urgently use these days. It’s a book about a complicated past that Barclay (Barc) Simpson did his best to change, not because he could but because he should. Elegantly composed, vividly conceived, stirringly narrated, Strong Ties belongs on lots of bookshelves—proudly sitting alongside works on Cal, leadership, child development, education, philanthropy, business, entrepreneurship, the Bay Area, World War II, family. In other words, it belongs in every library everywhere.
Strong Ties is a first-rate, nuanced social history of a complex time and place as well as the must-be-told story of a great man and his accomplished wife Sharon’s indelible impact upon the East Bay and the world beyond to which it is connected. Even so, Strong Ties will not make you nostalgic about an irrecoverable past, it will fire you up to create a more hopeful, fairer-minded future. That is the reason Barc unflaggingly embraced Martin Luther King Jr.’s insight that social injustice makes philanthropy necessary. And even if his business acumen was off the charts, that may not finally encourage you to get an MBA (not necessarily a bad thing—though he himself didn’t have one of those). Instead, it will inspire you, whoever you may be, to quote Barc’s mantra: “ Do something, take a risk, take a chance.” No wonder, if there ever was a book to take a chance on, it’s this one, a sure thing by Katharine Ogden Michaels.

Dr. Ralph Bunche (far right) with some of his friends at Harvard University, circa 1930. Dr. Bunche (1904-1971) was born in Detroit but raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Los Angeles, where he was valedictorian and graduated summa cum laude from UCLA. He earned a master’s degree in political science from Harvard in 1932 and taught at Howard University as he earned his doctorate from Harvard. Dr. Bunche played a critical role in the founding of the United Nations even as he maintained his duties as chair of the Political Science department at Howard, a position he held from 1928 to 1950. As Undersecretary General of the UN, his successful negotiation of four armistice agreements that ended the first Arab-Israeli war in 1949 led to him being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1950. He was the first African-American - and the first person of color anywhere in the world - to be awarded the prize. Photo: Los Angeles Public Library

WOMAN IN THE WINDOW by A. J. Finn
An Amazon Best Book of January 2018: The Woman in the Window is a seductive and unpredictable novel, like the Hitchcock movies to which author A.J. Finn pays homage. Finn’s protagonist Anna Fox is a child psychologist who lives alone in a New York suburb with a case of agoraphobia so debilitating she hasn’t left the house in months. To occupy her time Anna watches film noir classics from her vast collection, interacts with people online, and sometimes spies on her neighbors. It’s all very innocuous until she sees a horrible crime take place in the house across the park, recently inhabited by a new family. Call the police and report it, right? Things are a little more complicated for Anna—exacerbated by her routine consumption of prescription drugs with a lot of wine. Author A.J. Finn throws curve balls where you least expect them; I gasped out loud and in public, twice, while reading this novel because I was so taken by surprise. In the gap of time since Gone Girland The Girl on the Train we’ve been asking ourselves, when will we find the next big must-read psychological thriller? I think A.J. Finn’s The Woman in the Window answers that question. —Seira Wilson, Amazon Book Review
THE SUN DOES SHINE by Anthony Hinton
Anthony Ray Hinton spent 30 years on Alabama’s death row for two murders he did not commit. And it wasn’t new forensic technology that ultimately exonerated him. It was the perseverance of a handful of men and women willing to turn a mirror on the system itself.
If there are books and there are novels, this is a story. It’s a powerful story full of loss, love, pain, honesty, hope, and, ultimately, survival. There is, however, no redemption here. There was no reason to ever believe that Anthony Ray Hinton was guilty of these crimes. None. But that’s not what the legal system is all about. And ultimately it is only the system that can be redeemed. The rest is just human tragedy.
I have been a peripheral witness to the legal system for a long time. And I have known many who are intimately involved in the service of justice who can say little more in defense of the system than, “It’s the best of the alternatives.” That is seldom an acceptable standard for much of anything, but it should never be an acceptable standard when we are consciously and deliberately executing people.
In the end, this is Anthony Ray Hinton’s story. And it is beautifully and simply told by Anthony Ray and Lara Love Hardin. It is, however, a story about us. We are the context. Anthony Ray and the people around him simply shine a light inside the institution that we live within. But it’s up to us to open our eyes and see. “The sun does shine.” But you have to open your eyes to see it. And that, ultimately, is the message of this book.
This is more than a must read. If this book does not become a best seller, shame on us; things are worse than I feared. It’s that important.
DECEMBER 13 (THIS IS A SECOND THURSDAY, BECAUSE OF CHRISTMAS BEING NEAR)
THE GREATEST SHOWMAN (A FILM STARRING HUGH JACKMAN ABOUT P. T. BARNUM)
Our family went to watch this movie on Christmas Eve. We hate musicals, and I hadn't seen any previews, so I had no idea what I was getting the family into. Imagine my surprise when the previews ended and Hugh Jackman sang, "Ladies and Gents this is the moment you've waited for." I cringed, and looked over at my husband. He gave me the, "You've gotta be kidding me! We paid $40 to see A STUPID MUSICAL!" look. I shrugged, and mouthed SORRY. We only pony up the money to see movies in theaters, maybe three times a year. If that. Frankly I was mad that we just wasted a ticket.
I sat back, and made up my mind to hate it. But truth be told, I didn't. I liked it. We all liked, but didn't want to admit it out loud to each other. We walked out and all agreed it was better than we thought it would be. Then a funny thing happened. We all kept singing the songs. So... we bought the album. After listening to the songs over and over, we all agreed we needed to go see it again. We loved it, and all agreed it was an awesome movie.
It became an addiction! We kept listening, and the more we listened, the more we loved it. We tried to resist paying to see it again... how silly would that be? After waiting two weeks, we went to see it AGAIN. Now we all agree, BEST MOVIE OF ALLLLLL TIME. Ever. Hands down, our new favorite. It's February 5th and I've already bought a digital copy on Amazon.
Give it a chance! Even if you're like us, and hate musicals!

THE SHOE DOG by Phil Knight
In this instant and tenacious New York Times bestseller, Nike founder and board chairman Phil Knight “offers a rare and revealing look at the notoriously media-shy man behind the swoosh” (Booklist, starred review), illuminating his company’s early days as an intrepid start-up and its evolution into one of the world’s most iconic, game-changing, and profitable brands.
Bill Gates named Shoe Dog one of his five favorite books of 2016 and called it “an amazing tale, a refreshingly honest reminder of what the path to business success really looks like. It’s a messy, perilous, and chaotic journey, riddled with mistakes, endless struggles, and sacrifice. Phil Knight opens up in ways few CEOs are willing to do.”
Fresh out of business school, Phil Knight borrowed fifty dollars from his father and launched a company with one simple mission: import high-quality, low-cost running shoes from Japan. Selling the shoes from the trunk of his car in 1963, Knight grossed eight thousand dollars that first year. Today, Nike’s annual sales top $30 billion. In this age of start-ups, Knight’s Nike is the gold standard, and its swoosh is one of the few icons instantly recognized in every corner of the world.
But Knight, the man behind the swoosh, has always been a mystery. In Shoe Dog, he tells his story at last.

OCTOBER LIST by Jeffrey Deaver
"Might well be Deaver's most fiendish thriller ever...as the pace quickens and the story continues to backtrack, solid evidence, established plot points and sturdily built characters all begin to come undone, until what started out as an interactive game becomes a truly unnerving exercise in deception."―New York Times Book Review
"Don't skip ahead to the beginning and spoil the fun that's guaranteed for anyone interested in a thriller that forces readers to use their brains in a creative way...Deaver is a master of manipulation and "The October List" is a small but powerful book."―Associated Press
"Thriller Award-winner Deaver (Edge) delivers a clever, demanding stand-alone...As the ingenious plot folds back on itself, the reader has to reevaluate and reinterpret the constantly shifting "facts" in the case. The finished picture finally emerges with a shock of recognition. This is brilliant craftsmanship in a vastly entertaining package."―Publishers Weekly (STARRED REVIEW)

JANESVILLE AN AMERICAN STORY by Amy Goldstein
This book is, of course, about our own Wisconsin city of Janesville and what happened to it when “the plant” pulled out.
“Goldstein is a gifted storyteller, and Janesville is a raw, beautiful story, one that sheds needed light on a country searching for some pathway to the future.”
—J.D. Vance, author of Hillbilly Elegy
“The most illuminating business book of the year.... If you really want to understand what’s going on in today’s real economy — beyond the headlines about new stock-market highs, tax xpolicy or the latest list of billionaires — spend some time with this true tale.”
—Andrew Ross Sorkin, The New York Times
“Janesville is haunting in part because it’s a success story.... One is awed by the dignity and levelheadedness of its protagonists, who seem to represent the best of America.... Goldstein is a talented storyteller, and we root for her characters as, moment by moment, they try their hardest.”
—The New Yorker
“A superb feat of reportage, Janesville combines a heart-rending account of the implications of the closing on GM workers and their families with a sobering analysis of the response of the public and private sectors. The book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the economy of the Rust Belt — and its implications for America’s once-proud middle class.”
—The Philadelphia Inquirer

BEFORE WE WERE YOURS by Lis Wingate
This is a great novel based on true stories of children practically stolen from their families, scrubbed up to be given up for adoption to rich families. Woe betide those who did not scrub up well or submit to their fate.
6 people found this helpful
This was a great book, based on actual happenings which makes it incredible heartfelt at what happens in life, without us realizing that things aren't what they are supposed to be. Excellent read about stolen children split apart and sold. Well written with great detail
It is one of those easy to loose yourself into books. The two-person perspective makes it more wonderful, and keeps you wandering what the true story is until the very end.

THE BAKER’S SECRET by Stephen P. Kiernan
Only twenty-two, Emma learned to bake at the side of a master, Ezra Kuchen, the village baker since before she was born. Apprenticed to Ezra at thirteen, Emma watched with shame and anger as her kind mentor was forced to wear the six-pointed yellow star on his clothing. She was likewise powerless to help when they pulled Ezra from his shop at gunpoint, the first of many villagers stolen away and never seen again.
In the years that her sleepy coastal village has suffered under the enemy, Emma has silently, stealthily fought back. Each day, she receives an extra ration of flour to bake a dozen baguettes for the occupying troops. And each day, she mixes that precious flour with ground straw to create enough dough for two extra loaves—contraband bread she shares with the hungry villagers. Under the cold, watchful eyes of armed soldiers, she builds a clandestine network of barter and trade that she and the villagers use to thwart their occupiers.
But her gift to the village is more than these few crusty loaves. Emma gives the people a taste of hope—the faith that one day the Allies will arrive to save them.
Well, that’s the tale for this year, folks. Once again, we welcome you to come to a discussion. You will surprised at what you learn. We also encourage you to read the books.

The early significance of Martian Manhunter’s John Jones persona is examined in Darwyn Cooke’s New Frontier series.
Darwyn Cooke’s take on the early days of Justice League explores how the Martian Manhunter came to choose John Jones’ human disguise. While he doesn’t do so often in the main DCU, his New Frontier companion’s use of disguises is an examination of how J’onn wants to fit in on Earth and contribute to his strange new home. And more importantly, it reveals his early feelings for humanity in general and how the Mars Hunters became heroes to those of their time through the experience of being human.
In DC: The New Frontier #2 by Darwyn Cooke and Dave Stewart, Mars Hunters are accidentally transported to Earth by Doctor Erdel’s experiments. Unfortunately, the Martian’s sudden appearance makes Erdel have a heart attack. He apologizes to J’onn, warning that humanity is not ready for someone like him and that he must hide until such time. Erdel died shortly after, but despite his brief time with John, it was the first real interaction with humanity that J’onn had ever had. In that short time, the alien sees human fear, but he also sees reason and compassion triumph over all objections.
For that reason, J’onn decides to follow Erdel’s advice, using his likeness and the little money he has to find a hiding place while he learns as much as he can about Earth. The way he does it is television. For weeks the aliens absorbed as much of Earth’s culture as they could to try and understand how this world worked. It was interesting to him, but also enlightening.
J’onn begins to understand that good and evil exist on his new planet in a gradient. There are no clear black and white answers to be found, but J’onn knew early on that he wanted to be a force for good. So he takes on the role of a police detective, both to have a source of income and to be “one of the good guys” without scaring humans. This decision reveals the true purpose of the John Jones persona he continues to use time after time in the DC mainstream universe.
From the start, John Jones’s identity was a critique of Earth. He became the Mars Hunter’s way of conveying that he saw the value of the planet, even if humans weren’t always the most moral. He saw good things that could happen.
But John Jones might as well be a stepping stone to helping Earth in a much bigger way. As time goes on and J’onn’s initial feelings about humanity prove true, the need for a secret identity diminishes. This is positive and in no way detracts from what John Jones represents. It just means that the persona is doing its job, it keeps J’onn safe until humanity is ready to accept him as he is.


Babak Govan, PhD, MAOB originally proposed a model of human behavior as the theoretical dissertation Self-defeating Behavior: The Theory of the Evolving Psyche. Ideas from this model were later used by scholars in the United States and Canada. Since its original publication in 2006, Dr. Govan has refined and extended these ideas that now include a proposed mechanism for psychotherapy, moderative psychotherapy. This new manuscript is being prepared for publication.

It all started with a Peaches and Cream Barbie.
When Brianna Wheeler was a child, she rejected her grandmother's birthday gift of a Black barbie, and in doing so, rejected her own biracial identity.
After her grandmother's death more than 30 years later, Brianna Wheeler inherited shares of a family trust, as well as her family matriarch's extensive genealogy research. While Brianna organized her grandmother's work, other inheritors fought amongst themselves to fortify their own inheritances. Brianna's hybrid illustrated memoir braids her grandmother's research into a timeline that travels between the battles that preceded the civil war, and her own family's battles with legacy, entitlement, and heritage.
Altogether Different is Brianna Wheeler's debut memoir, published by Korza Books, set for release on October 17th, 2023.
