VAUGHAN, HENRY (1621-1693), called "the Silurist," poet and mystic, was born into an ancient Welsh family settled at Skethiog-on-Usk, in the parish of Llansaintfraed, Brecknockshire, in 1621. From 1632 to 1638 he and his twin brother Thomas were privately educated by the rector of Llangattock, and then they proceeded to Jesus College, Oxford. At what time Henry left the university is not known ; but it was evidently after he had studied for some time in London and had been introduced into the society of men of letters that he printed his first volume, Poems, with the Tenth Satire of Juvenal Englished (1646). Of this publication he was afterwards, very needlessly, ashamed. Vaughan presently became a physician and returned to his native country, first for a while practising in the town of Brecon, and then settling down for the remainder of his life in Skethiog. From this place he sent forth his collection of sacred poems, Silex Scintillans, in 1650, of which a second part appeared in 1655, and the secular poems of his Olor Iscanus, prepared for the press in 1647, and published without his consent by his brother Thomas in 1651. A mystical treatise in prose, The Mount of Olives, followed in 1652, and then two prose translations, Flores Solitudinis, 1654, and Hermetical Physick, 1655. The world took little notice of these performances. In 1678 an Oxford friend collected the miscellaneous verses of Vaughan's middle life in a volume entitled Thalia Rediviva. Henry Vaughan died at Skethiog on 23d April 1693, and lies buried in the churchyard of Llansaintfraed.
As a poet Vaughan comes latest in the so-caled "metaphysical" school of the 17th century. He is the most remote of the disciples of Donne, and follows him mainly as he saw him reflected in George Herbert. He analyses his experiences, amatory and sacred, with excessive ingenuity, striking out, every now and then, through his extreme intensity of feeling and his close though limited observation of nature, lines and phrases of marvellous felicity. He is of imagination all compact, and is happiest when he abandons himself most completely to his vision. His verse is apt to seem crabbed and untunable in comparison with that of Crashaw, and even of Herbert at his best. The Retreat, with its Wordsworthian intimations, The World, mainly because of the magnificence of its opening lines, and, Beyond the Veil are by far the most popular of Vaughan's poems and represent him at his best. His passion for the Usk, and his desire to immortalize that pastoral river, are pathetically prominent in his writings. His metrical ear was not fine, and he affected, almost more than Herbert himself, tortured and tuneless forms of self-invented stanza.
VAUGHAN, THOMAS (1621-1665), "the Rosicrucian," was the twin brother of Henry VAUGHAN (see above). When Thomas left Oxford he went into the church and became rector of his native parish Llansaintfraed until his ejectment, when he settled at Oxford as an alchemist. He died at Albury on 27th February 1665, poisoned by the fumes of a cauldron. Under the pseudonym of Eugenius Philalethes, Thomas Vaughan produced eleven volumes defending and describing the tenets of Rosicrucians. The titles of these - among which are The Man-Mouse, 1650 ; The Second Wash, 1651 ; The Fame and Confession of the Fraternity of the Rosy Cross, 1652 ; Aula Lucis, 1652 ; and Euphrates, 1653 - are not more extraordinary than their style. Henry More the Platonist engaged in controversy with Thomas Vaughan, deep calling unto deep in pamphlets.
You may judge the marvellous felicity of "The World" for yourself, courtesy of www.luminarium.org . It begins
I SAW Eternity the other night,
Like a great ring of pure and endless light,
All calm, as it was bright ;
And round beneath it, Time in hours, days, years
Driv'n by the spheres
Like a vast shadow mov'd ; in which the world
And all her train were hurl'd.
FOOTNOTE: Eagle-eyed pedants will have noticed that I have given Thomas Vaughan's date of death as 1665, rather than the 1666 which all other sources in Interwebshire show. Please be assured that I have transcribed diligently, and 1665 is the date given in the 9th Edition. It seems likely that Britannica was, in this unfortunate instance, in error, but the tantalising possibility remains that EB9 got it right, and that later citings have been perpetuating someone else's error. If any Accordingianists happen to be in the vicinity of Albury any time, could you possibly check the parish records (or gravestone if there is one) and clarify this troublesome matter? A substantial reward is on offer (subject to availability: the alternative being an insubstantial reward).

About Kathryn the Grape
The Story Behind Kathryn the Grape
The idea for Kathryn the Grape to be an illustrated book character originally came from Kathryn Cloward’s mother, Mary. She shared with her daughter a desire to write a book centered on a character named Kathryn the Grape — the grade-school nickname Kathryn affectionately acquired from her softball coach, the late Nello “Mr. P” Pierozzi. At age 11, Kathryn welcomed the fitting moniker, a fun adaptation of Catherine the Great, because she loved the color purple and wore it every day. Although mother and daughter had discussions about bringing the stories of Kathryn the Grape to life, the momentum wasn’t there initially; it simply wasn’t the right time.
It wasn’t until 10 years later, when Kathryn experienced significant life changes, that the messages of and purpose for Kathryn the Grape became clear. It was during this time that Kathryn started to really accept and love all of the things that made her unique. After being awakened at 3 a.m. a few days in a row with the message “get up and start writing Kathryn the Grape” flowing through her mind, Kathryn decided to do just that — get up and start writing. The more she wrote, the more she was inspired with purpose to be a messenger of love through stories and songs to help her son and people of all ages love and accept what makes them unique.
Every story Kathryn creates and writes includes experiences from her own life. She is intentional about simplifying life lessons she has learned into written and visual experiences all ages can easily understand and enjoy. Then, Kathryn takes the lessons taught through her book series and she writes songs to accompany them. Each Kathryn the Grape Affirmation Series book includes a special “tool” of self-awareness and self-love for readers to use throughout their lives. After reading all seven books, readers will have seven tools of love in their treasure boxes for life.
About Kathryn Cloward
Kathryn Cloward is a purposeful messenger of love who’s earned national praise for her award-winning Kathryn the Grape® Affirmation Series of books and music. Through her illustrated likeness of Kathryn the Grape, Kathryn provides multigenerational self-empowerment tools of love through storytelling. An award-winning author, songwriter and entrepreneur, Kathryn is passionate about creating and sharing heart-centered mindful media with positive and empowering messages for people of all ages to enjoy. She is on a mission to ripple love, compassion, and unity throughout the world.
As a little girl, Kathryn loved writing songs and singing them to her dolls. She always dreamed of one day growing up and sharing her original songs with others. Now that is exactly what she does through Kathryn the Grape and her Kathryn Cloward music (www.KathrynCloward.com) — a purposeful path Kathryn paved for herself through decades of professional resilience and courageous personal transformation. With over 20 years of being an altruistic serial entrepreneur, it was a natural choice for Kathryn to streamline the production and publication of all of her books, music, and media independently through her company, Kandon Unlimited, Inc.
Kathryn has been recognized throughout her career for inspirational and purposeful endeavors including being honored in 2010 with San Diego Metro’s Top 40 Under 40 Award and Speak for Success’ Women Changing the World Inspirational Woman Award, and in 2018 she received the Chamber of Commerce’s Women in Leadership Award.
When she is not writing, performing, or speaking at events, Kathryn enjoys going for long walks, spending time with her family and friends, and exploring with her son, Landon.


Download The Year I Didn't Eat
This heartfelt, captivating novel chronicles a year in the life of 14-year-old Max as he struggles with anorexia. Dear Ana, Some days are normal. Some days, everything is OK, and I eat three square meals, pretty much, even if those squares are ridiculously small squares. Some days, I can almost pretend there's nothing wrong. Fourteen-year-old Max doesn't like to eat, and the only one he can confess his true feelings to is Ana---also known as his eating disorder, anorexia. In a journal that his therapist makes him keep, he tells Ana his unfiltered thoughts and fears while also keeping track of his food intake. But Ana's presence has leapt off the page and into his head, as she feeds upon all of his fears and amplifies them. When Max's older brother Robin gives him a geocache box, it becomes a safe place where Max stores his journal, but someone finds it and starts writing to him, signing it with "E." Is it a joke? Could it be the new girl at school, Evie, who has taken an interest in Max? Although Max is unsure of the secret writer's identity, he takes comfort in the words that appear in his journal as they continually confide in one another about their problems. As Max's eating disorder intensifies, his family unit fractures. His parents and brother are stressed and strained as they attempt to deal with the elephant in the room. When Robin leaves home, Max is left with two parents who are on the verge of splitting up. Max thought he could handle his anorexia, but as time goes on, he feels himself losing any semblance of control. Will anorexia continue to rule Max's life, or will he be able to find a way to live around his eating disorder? The Year I Didn't Eat is an unforgettable novel that is haunting, moving, and inspiring.

Our friends from the Commander Islands had an action-packed couple of days in Anchorage before flying back home. They visited the Anchorage Museum, experienced the American shopping mall, and had a picnic with paddle-boarding the first day.
The second day was also full– They were given a guided tour of the new engineering department at the University of Alaska, Anchorage (UAA), and visited the library archive to find photographs of the Commander Islands taken in the 1930s. Lex took the boys to Kincaid Park on a moose quest (they were all hiding). In the afternoon they visited the Native Heritage Center, and Jenya took the kids to the Trampoline Park while Natalia squeezed in a little more shopping and enjoyed the beautiful flowers downtown.

Vincenzo authors a book on organic narrowband photodetectors
Dec 31, 2019
Prof. Pecunia has authored a book for Institute of Physics Publishing (IOPP) entitled “Organic Narrowband Photodetectors: Materials, Devices and Applications
Narrowband photodetectors underlie a wide range of applications, including colour sensing for digital photography, computer vision, biomedicine, and visible-light communications. Organic semiconductors provide a formidable platform for narrowband photodetection, firstly because their optical properties can be easily tuned by chemical tailoring, in many cases allowing narrowband absorption. Additionally, the facile methods with which they can be processed enable organic narrowband photodetectors to be realised on flexible plastic substrates, which are highly attractive for point-of-use, compact devices for smart-sensor systems, lab-on-chip devices, and the Internet of Things. The versatility of organic semiconductors, their device configurations, and their processing methods have led to a particularly rich research landscape in organic narrowband photodetectors.
This book is the first-ever title on the subject of narrowband organic photodetectors, and it provides a comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of the field and its applications. It covers both the fundamentals and the most advanced aspects, and additionally provides the most extensive tabulated collection of organic narrowband photodetector performance data.
The book can be purchased in hardback or as an e-book from the publisher’s Online Bookstore
as well as from all major bookstores (Amazon

Influential Jazz Writer and Artistpassed away
A beloved and widely influential artist not only in the Jazz music field, but in the influential field has just died. The Czech writer Josef Skvorecky, known among jazz fans mainly for his short novel The Bass Saxophone, died on 3 January in Toronto: with his wife he went into exile in Canada after the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. Born in September of 1924, he was 87 years old when he passed away.
Josef Skvorecky was a person of wide culture, humanist, with a great sense of humour and eloquence. Constant themes in his literature were the horror of totalitarianism and repression, the experience of expatriates and the miracle (how he considered it) of jazz. His first novel “The cowards” was written in the late 1940s but was not published until several years later. A couple of years before it had published The End of the Nylon Age and both were banned by the communist authorities for their innovative nature and for their democratic ideals, also embodied in his collaboration with the movement that culminated in the Prague Spring in 1968.
His novel The Low Saxophone (1967) was published in Spanish in 1998, in Newspaper Editorial; it recounts the perversion and absurdity of the Nazi regime through the experiences of a young man whose country is under German domination during the Second World War. The young protagonist, Danny Smiricky, becomes a self-portrait of the author who is used not to narrate in the first person and who resorted to some of his novels. In the introduction to The Bass Saxophone, Skvorecky includes the regulations that the Nazis implemented to control the dance orchestras during the occupation.
Josef Skvorecky has been translated into practically all European languages and his work includes novels, short stories, essays, scripts for film and television; among them for the documentary, adapted from a story of his authorship.
Among his musical friends were the pianist Emil Viklicky, who provided him with material that he used in his work The Engineer of Human Souls, and the saxophonist Jan Konopasek, who had played with Woody Herman, Buddy Rich and, more recently, with the then president Bill Clinton at the Jazz Club, during an official visit to Prague.
He won numerous prizes and was nominated for the Nobel Prize in 1982. At the hands of President Vaclav Havel, he received the Order of the White Lion in 1990, the highest prize awarded in Czechoslovakia.
Skvorecky and his wife, also writer ZdenaSalivarova, founded 68 Publishers in exile and during the following twenty years they were mainly dedicated to publish works of banned authors in Czechoslovakia (both Czechs and Slovaks), turning the publishing house into an authentic disseminator of the work of dissident writers such as Havel, Milan Kundera and LudvikVaculik, among others.
He was a writer that influenced many jazz musicians. And his body of literature was also widely read by many well-known modern jazz artists. So it is no surprise that many within the Jazz industry were saddened by his passing. He will surely be missed, as he still had quite a bit of influence even to this modern day. He was also a great lover of jazz music in general too.


Why Digital Libraries?
By Bhargavi Nanduri
Digital libraries are becoming the hot topics at schools, colleges and universities since they combine technology and information resources to allow remote access to educational content, breaking down the physical barriers.
A digital library is a collection of documents – such as magazine articles, book, papers, images, sound files and videos – organized in an electronic form and available on the Internet or on a digital support, and is updated on a daily basis.
Many schools and institutions have already begun converting their traditional collections of books and educational materials to electronic format: some files become available in HTML format while others can be downloaded in PDF format, to be printed if necessary.
The main limit for traditional libraries is represented by physical space: books consume a lot of it and people often have to walk round in search of a particular material. Thanks to Internet and cloud storage, digital libraries overcome this limitation, expanding students’ horizons in learning. Thanks to search engine technologies – even novice users can start using digital libraries accomplishing their searches independently.
1 Creates more engaged Learning environment
Useful features commonly found in eBooks can engage readers more thoroughly than traditional books. Readers can highlight, draw and annotate. Reluctant and struggling readers benefit the most from eBooks that involve the senses. eBooks can give students a full reading experience by emerging them into the text using animations, sound effects, and relevant imagery.
2 Boosts love for reading and learning
eBook aid in the love of reading and learning. Digital libraries give educators powerful tools to teach students how to find, evaluate, and use digital content—an essential skill for 21st-century learners.
3 Benefits of Read aloud books and Podcasts
The benefits of listening to books read aloud is one of the single most important activities for reading success, it also provides students with a idea of reading comprehension skills.
Digital texts allow books to become read alouds, giving the reader the ability to follow along. Similarly listening to Podcasts makes you stress free.
4 Cost Effective Learning
Ebooks save time, money, and storage. Not only does a digital library make books more accessible to students and educators, but the convenience factors of downloading and returning eBooks are a significant advantage for students. Digital libraries cost far less than physical books, allowing librarians to stock up on a variety of titles.
5 Supports Bilingual Speakers
Students with English as their second language can utilize tools like the built-in dictionary in eBooks. Readers can quickly look up unfamiliar words, while the recorded audio can provide auditory models of the correct syntax and grammar for the English language.
Digital texts can also incorporate other languages, such as Spanish, to make it possible for family members with limited English proficiency to read with their children.

Pierz author launches 4th true crime novel ‘Lying Close’
“Lying Close” involves a forbidden relationship between a Somali Muslim woman and a Caucasian Christian male, who unwittingly is drawn into the web of crimes.
If one sits down at a table Oct. 3 at the Roundhouse Brewery in Nisswa, they may feel like they are part of Frank F. Weber’s fourth book “Lying Close.”
That’s because a chapter in “Lying Close,” which is a mystery of a forbidden love affair of a young couple, includes a scene where investigator Jon Frederick is sitting at the Roundhouse Brewery on Oct. 3 reflecting on a case.
On this same date — Oct. 3 — in real life, Weber will introduce his new book with a book launch scheduled 4-7 p.m. Weber will speak 5-6 p.m. about forensic psychology and writing true crime mysteries. People who attend will learn about new forensic techniques and find out what they get wrong on crime shows and movies. Weber will be hooking up a polygraph machine and will give a quick demonstration how it works.
At the book launch, Weber will sign and sell books both before and after speaking. The cover model of “Lying Close,” Elise Yates of Pierz, also will be available for pictures with patrons.
The book is part of Weber’s true-crime book series with investigator Jon Frederick. The books in the series are “Murder Book,” published in 2017; “The I-94 Murders,” published in 2018; “Last Call,” in 2019; and “Lying Close” in 2020.
Weber and his publicist, Krista Soukup from Blue Cottage Agency of Brainerd, took time Thursday, Sept. 17, to talk about the book and the book launch during a Zoom interview. “Lying Close” involves a forbidden relationship between a Somali Muslim woman and a white Christian man who unwittingly is drawn into the web of crimes. The story references actual Minnesota cases and the racial history of central Minnesota. Each chapter is introduced with a science theory related to the events of the chapter.
Weber said “Lying Close” was an interesting book to write because he enjoys writing about true crime stories. Weber, a 25-year veteran in the forensic psychology profession, has spent a large portion of his life in service to those in need. As the clinic director at CORE Professional Services, his work has ranged from assessing murderers chained to the cement floor in the basement of a prison to providing therapy for wealthy professionals who’ve engaged in multiple affairs. Weber has testified as an expert witness in numerous sexual assault and homicide cases and has received the President’s Award from the Minnesota Correctional Association for his forensic work.
To relieve some of the stress he encountered during his forensic career, Weber turned to fiction writing as a way of detaching from the human tragedies routinely part of his caseload. Weber said his fourth novel is a result of several little stories of actual events — a hunting accident, a rural home break-in and the disappearance of a teen — that he combined into one big story.
“As a therapist who deals with a lot of issues, one of the things I’ve been dealing with in the St. Cloud area is we have several situations where we have a Somali Muslim woman or man who is dating a white Christian from the St. Cloud community,” Weber said. “And this book brings up the interesting dynamics of that and I wanted to work that into the book ... just to get people thinking about it, and just thinking about the racial history and include some of that racial history in the book.
“It's interesting to me. ... I had a couple of people who have already finished the book, even though they've only had it for two days, and they told me that it really made them think about racial issues in rural Minnesota. And that was my point and that makes me feel good.”
According to the book’s synopsis, “‘Lying Close’ begins when a couple’s rural home is broken into in Todd County. Investigator Jon Frederick is sent to investigate a rural hunting accident in neighboring Stearns County. A teen runaway from Minneapolis calls for help in Paynesville, Minn., and disappears. Three crimes that are not that unusual, had they not all occurred within 30 miles of each other. Jon’s task is to put the puzzle together, while a dangerous predator lurks about central Minnesota. When the case goes cold, Jon realizes someone very close to the investigation has been leaking information. As you venture through the story from each character’s perspective, you realize everyone is lying a little.”
Getting Weber’s fourth book published was a bit different than his previous book, due to the pandemic. Soukup said publishers were delaying book releases and Weber was writing faster than the companies could keep up. So because of this, Weber decided to publish his own book, which gave him 100% control on the timing of when the book would be released.
“If we wouldn’t have done this, the book would have been delayed until probably next year,” Soukup said.
Weber said having his own self-publishing entity also allows him control of his own book covers. He said many publishers like to recommend their own suggested book covers and he enjoys creating his own book covers.
Weber is almost done writing his fifth book “Burning Bridges,” which is about a homicide in St. Cloud. Publishing companies were telling him this book wouldn’t be published until October 2021.
Weber has received a lot of attention with his book series. For his fifth book, a filming crew from the Oxygen Channel TV investigative series called “Snapped” will be in town sometime this month to film an interview with him about the St. Cloud homicide.
Soukup said Weber also will be featured Thursday on a Minnesota Humanities live discussion on “true crime” with Amanda Vicary, University of Illinois, who has done extensive research on true crime and Amanda Jacobson, who has a podcast called Wine and Crime with over 200,000 followers.
When the coronavirus hit this past spring, Weber had to cancel about 20 presentations promoting his books. Soukup said Weber, like many authors, had to find another outlet to reach his readers. Weber did some Facebook live events and did a live talk on Facebook called “True Crime Tuesdays.”
Weber said all his books can be read as a series or as stand-alone mystery/thrillers. Tiffany Madson of Brainerd edited Weber’s fourth book.
“Lying Close” is available at CatTales Books and The Crossing Arts Alliance in Brainerd; The Shoppes of Little Falls; and Reds Auto in Pierz. It also can be ordered online at frankweberauthor.com .
Weber also discussed his main character — Jon Frederick.
“Jon Frederick is the protagonist,” Weber said, “He is the investigator who is a little obsessive and it works for me to write that way because that's exactly how I am. He sometimes has these thoughts that run through his head of just data about situations and just reflecting on things. ... He’s always got this stuff kind of going through his head of data. And I think it’s interesting, especially because I use actual crime data in Minnesota. And so people can look at it and think and reflect on that. For example, 45% of all underage sex workers in Minnesota are African American. That just makes you think about populations and things that need to be changed and problems that need to be addressed. There are a variety of things that I like having that dialogue in my books just to get people to think about the data.”
Weber said through his forensic work and writing books, he’s been asked by investigators to help them with cold cases. Authorities have allowed him to go through the evidence and files of the cold cases to see if he can offer insight on the case. Weber said he helped authorities solve a case in California.
“I started looking at the case and looking at all the information I could get on the case,” Weber said. “And then I thought the reason this case is unsolved is because they have the profile wrong. ... It's interesting. There's always a number of things, in my work, you get a good idea of the criminal by the way the crime is committed. I don't believe psychopaths are born, I believe they're made. And so when you look at the way people act out a crime, it has a lot to do with their own history.
“And so this person is breaking into houses. He was raping, tying up and raping women, sometimes killing them, sometimes killing men. And so, I decided to develop my own profile on the person. This is a person who was probably single when he was committing most of these crimes. He probably works a rather mundane job but has some knowledge of law enforcement and was probably either abused as a small child or witnessed abuse.”
Weber said he provided his thoughts to authorities and suggested they use genealogy to track down the killer. Weber said California changed the law to allow investigators to use genealogy and they tracked the killer down that way.
“When they caught the person, they found out he had been a cop for two years, but he had worked in a grocery store for the last 26 years of his life,” Weber said. “He was single during most of the crimes. When he was 7 years old, he saw his sister raped by two men.”

Theory of Creation
In the beginning, a set of Powers was loosed upon the Void. These Powers (also called Arcana) contained within them the First Power and used it to make a world. In this world they vested enough of themselves to make it truly spectacular. After they were finished, one among their number was chosen by lot to remain as divine ruler of that world. Since each one of the Arcana had poured themselves into the creation of this world, the divine who remained began to share the characteristics of all the other Arcana. One of the Arcana became transformed by her custodianship of the world made by all her brethren and evolved into the Guardian Goddess Fortuna.
The remaining Arcana went about the task of making a new world but soon found out they disagreed about everything. Removing just one of their number from the Pack caused them to fall into disarray. So a war raged throughout the Void, a war that never touched the World or any of its inhabitants, yet decimated the Arcana. Though they were as gods and could not die, each of the Arcana was diminished greatly by the war. Almost as one they turned away from their brothers and sisters and began to forge worlds of their own, replete with their own idiosyncrasies. None of these worlds was stable enough to last for all eternity like the one they had made together, but they dwelt in them nonetheless. Eventually the work of their hands collapsed in on itself, trapping each of the Arcana inside a failed world of their own devising.
Over time, each of these became a new entity, unrecognizable as a member of the Arcana. Each of these new beings was much softer and more yielding than any of the Arcana had ever been. They awoke with no memories of their past. It is said that while they slumbered the Maker Himself blessed each of them and rewarded them with the ability to make stable worlds as individuals. Adherents of the notion of the Prophecy of the Maker believe the Maker specially destined each of the divines when He lovingly embraced them and bestowed upon them the power of eternity.
Each member of this newly-formed Pantheon immediately proceeded to make a world and populate it with people made in the creator’s own image. And they were happy for a time.
But over time, the strength and color of Fortuna’s world drew the entire Pantheon into the place called the Veil. Here the Pantheon waited, looking on in wonder at the largeness of the World and admiring its division into three distinct realms. Each member of the Pantheon yearned to quit the Veil and walk along in the corporeal plane of Fortuna’s world but found they could not penetrate it. So they satisfied themselves with waiting and watching.
Until Luther came along. Then everything changed. Luther abandoned his world and his people to enter Fortuna’s world and perpetrate mischief. Then things changed still further when a divine without a world or a people came to the Fortuna’s world. This girl, according to legend, is the Arcana that had remained behind as the Goddess Fortuna to govern the world, reshaped into a new form and ready to redeem her old creation from those that would do it harm.

Tim Tim... Papa welcome. And how are you my children? I am going to tell you a story, a wonderful
story, about a beautiful island, about three beautiful islands in the Caribbean Sea. Oh, they
have plenty beautiful islands in the Caribbean Sea, but these three, these three are different, these three are special, especially the one they call Grenada.
And why is Grenada so special? Well, that is what this story is about. Now, its just a
story, you hear? So dont go saying how I telling lies. I just telling you what other
people tell me. But I dont think big people go lie just so, so it must be true.
Paul Keens-Douglas, Twice Upon a Time
Since achieving independence in 1974 the tiny Caribbean state of Grenada, Carriacou and
Petite Martinique has been propelled into the international spotlight by a number of remarkable
events, though its romp on the world stage seems in stark contrast to its small size.
In March 1979 it became the first state in the English-speaking Caribbean to experience
a successful coup d'etat. For the next four-and-a-half years, it figured into the affairs
of superpowers as Cuba and the Soviet Union became ideological and financial supporters and
the United States increasingly became an adversary. US President Reagan, in speeches in March
and April 1983, made references to Grenada and the growing Cuban and Soviet influences there
and the potential threat to democracy in the region. He insisted that "It isn't nutmeg
that's at stake in the Caribbean and Central America; it is the United States national
security," and questioned the possible military uses of the Point Salines International
Airport by Cuba and the Soviet Union. In October 1983 the country exploded into world
news headlines when its charismatic prime minister, Maurice Bishop, was placed under
house arrest and subsequently executed by a faction within his own government.
A few days later Grenada was invaded by the US military, and for the first
time East met West when Cuban soldiers/militia fought against invading US troops.
Having recovered from the political chaos of the 1970s and 1980s, Grenada suffered
a devastating setback in September 2004 when Hurricane Ivan scored a direct hit and left the islands in ruins; in July 2005 Hurricane Emily caused further damage. These events have created immense interest for students of history and politics from around the world as is evident by the numerous books and articles so far written on the Revolution and US military intervention. There is, however, a growing interest in many aspects of Grenada's history and culture, and a book of this nature, incorporating the varied aspects of culture, history, the natural environment and politics, will be a valuable resource to anyone interested in these islands.
The threat of the disappearance of the islands cultural and natural heritage, as in the
cases of Shango and the Grenada dove, respectively, have made it absolutely necessary that
we begin to preserve and conserve these unique attributes for future generations. They are
a valued inheritance to Grenadians as a source of pride and identity, as well as of potential monetary value if managed appropriately as a heritage tourism product that visitors can appreciate and respect. In this fast evolving world where the global village is quickly becoming a reality, it is difficult to define our own particular community because its uniqueness is disappearing before our eyes. This book is meant only as a first step towards establishing a framework for the preservation of our islands natural beauty and cultural heritage.
There is so much more about Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique I could have included,
but I had to confine myself to the people, events and places that have had the greatest impact
on our historical environment. The inclusion of elements of the natural milieu-flora and
fauna-was based on criteria of both beauty and frequency of appearance, and in many cases
their impact on the economy and the ecology of the islands. Though Grenada shares many of
its social and political institutions with the countries of the region, it nonetheless
displays marked differences and uniqueness. It exhibits singular characteristics like the
Big Drum Dance and the Grenada dove because of its geographical separation.
I have tried to represent culture and history across social class lines, illustrating the
evolving nature of the society. I have attempted to capture the overwhelming influences of
Africa and Europe, and to a lesser extent those of India and the Americas on Grenadian identity.
Entries include the Amerindians who first made these islands their home; Anansi stories from
West Africa that have provided entertainment for generations; prominent leaders like Julien
Fedon, T A Marryshow, Sir Eric Gairy and Maurice Bishop; the natural beauty of Grand Etang National Park and Grande Anse Beach, which are so inviting to visitors to our shores; the religious celebrations of Fisherman's Birthday and Easter; the ceremonies of the Big Drum Dance and Shango that beat out the rhythms of Africa; the festivals of Carnival and Carriacou Regatta which unite all in national celebration; the bitter but tangy taste of damsel, the sweet taste of sugar apple, and the red Christmas drink of sorrel, spiced with rum, that all define us as Caribbean, but more specifically as Grenadians (Carriacouans and Petite Martinicans).
A major asset of this book is its arrangement, with entries alphabetically listed as in a
dictionary to afford easy access. Words or phrases in uppercase/capital letters throughout
the book mean that there is an extended entry. To be consistent throughout I have adopted
the standard spellings for patwa/Creole words as presented by Richard Allsopp in his monumental
work Dictionary of Caribbean English Usage. The term Grenada may refer to the major island or
the tri-island state; its meaning will be made clear in its context.
This book, it is hoped, will offer a great deal to many people: to Grenadians, at home
and abroad, old and young alike, it affords a chance to reminisce, pass on a heritage,
or explore a rich legacy; to the researcher it is a source book; to the visitor it is a
guidebook to the islands and its people, culture and history; to the historian it offers
a diverse, but coherent look at the past; and to the trivia buff it is a treasure trove.
Lastly, I would like to comment on the facts and stories I have assembled here. In the over
ten years of research for this book I have stumbled upon facts, figures, folklore and oral
history that were often confusing, conflicting and sometimes absurd, yet fascinating. Oral
history often conflicted with written history, and folklore and facts were jumbled, making
separation often difficult. The reliance on certain secondary sources sometimes, the only
sources available, was unavoidable. Yet, through it all, I have made an exhaustive effort
to verify all the stories, facts and folklore to the best available knowledge. I hope that
when readers detect inconsistencies, they will bring them to my attention so that this book
can become a more complete and accurate repository of a peoples history, culture and the

"Onderzoek & Beleving" is Dutch for "Research & Experience". In 2007 we, Hans & En, wanted to republish Hans' PhD thesis because we ran out of printed copies. To obtain a new ISBN for the thesis it was necessary to register with the Dutch ISBN agency. We registred "Onderzoek & Beleving" as new publisher and there it was.
Currently we use "Onderzoek & Beleving" mostly for numismatic publications, which can be found under the tab "Books". New numismatic books are currently under development. This concerns country issues on the United States, Portugal and France.
Furthermore, we are investigating the possibility to issue a book on aluminium World Coins. The tab "Books" gives order links for the books issued and/or written by us.
Under the tab "Science" a summary of scientific research published by Hans under the imprint of Onderzoek en Beleving is given, this refers to scientific papers written under the scope of "Onderzoek & Beleving". Papers written under the scope of "Onderzoek & Beleving" can only be requested from us and a PDF copy will be send to you.
En nowadays has a more supporting role in the publishing activities. Since 2018 she is working as an autonomous photographer at 120m2, part of her work can be found on the website www.120m2.nl.
An other, related internet site is eggenkamp.info where the complete bibliography of chlorine and bromine isotope studies can be consulted.

A friendly guide to coffee with the valuable information any coffee lover must know
Recent years have witnessed a quiet, almost unnoticeable revolution: all around the world, drip coffee has been replaced by espresso, macchiato, and cappuccino, with a similar quality to those served in the best Italian coffee shops. The technological developments of espresso machines, moka-pot, French-press and other newfangled equipment has allowed the flourishing coffee market to enter the domestic kitchen, turning coffee into an integral part of everyday, modern life. However, despite its huge popularity and expanding markets, coffee remains uncharted terrain, known only to connoisseurs.
A Coffee Lover’s Guide is an accessible, comprehensive, easy-to-read and enjoyable guide, written with love and made especially for anyone drinking, making, selling or buying coffee. It is an easy, available, communicative and enjoyable way to learn and understand coffee and the coffee world better.
A recommended gift for any coffee lover
A Coffee Lover’s Guide includes a short, accessible and comprehensive synopsis of coffee’s history and origin, it’s types and varieties, different ways of brewing and grinding, coffee machinery, and even popular uses and traditions of coffee, including “coffee reading.”
All the answers in one place: the perfect guide for any coffee lover
Enjoy the read, and enjoy your coffee even more!
About the author
"I worked for many years as an IT manager for various well-known hi-tech companies. Whatever spare time I had was invested in my love for coffee. Whereas at first I drank Middle-Eastern black coffee, I moved to espresso when the first home espresso machines appeared on the market. At first the espresso I prepared was mediocre, especially when compared to the quality espresso I had tasted in Italy. This led me research what factors affect the quality of espresso, and gradually my preparations improved. I attempted my own roast, first in a frying pan, then in the oven, in a popcorn machine , and finally with a professional roaster. This book is the result of my years of research.
In the last few years, I have made my hobby my profession. We have opened a shop that sells quality coffee roasted and blended by myself, in addition to espresso machines and coffee accessories."
Shlomo Stern , born in 1950 , is a roaster and blender of speciality quality coffees , and serves as a taster and judge at Barista competitions

Here is a little song that is in the classic children's book, The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy Winkle by Beatrix Potter. I'm a big fan of hers, I love her animals and naturalist style drawings and paintings. She had quite an interesting life, there's a great biography on her...published in the past few years.
This is a song we sing to our kids, and they love it! I decided to write it out in a fun lettering style I found in the magazine Bound and Lettered. (a calligraphy and book arts journal, published by John Neal.... of Paper and Ink Books ...a wonderful journal but a bit pricey!) Anyway, I just found it stuffed in a magazine, and thought I should color it with my Prismacolor pencils and frame it! (I made the birth announcements for both of my kids and this lettering style was used for my son's.)

Queen Street in Old Town Alexandria
On August 21, 1939, the temperature drifted towards ninety degrees around noon. Five young men, all black, walked around the streets of Old Town Alexandria, making their way to the new library on Queen Street. Arriving, the group walked into the front door of the Alexandria Free Library (today the Kate Waller Barrett Branch Library). They each requested a library card, knowing they would be refused. Alice Green, the assistant librarian on duty, watched as they all picked a book from the shelves, sat down at different tables, and began to read. Horrified, the woman ran out of the library and into the home of head librarian, Catherine Scoogin. Entering the house, Green screamed, “Oh mercy, Miss Scoggin, there’s colored people all over the library!” Scoogin, who had just exited the shower, quickly dressed and rushed to the library with Green. Once there, Scoogin asked Otto Tucker, William “Buddy” Evans, Edward Gaddis, Morris Murray, and Clarence “Buck” Strange to leave the library. The men refused.
Minutes later, police arrived to over 300 counter-protesters, spectators, and press members outside the library. Walking inside, they saw the five young men sitting quietly at the table. Police again asked them to leave the library. Refusing once more, the five demonstrators were led outside by policemen and arrested.
Once the police arrived, a fourteen-year-old boy named Bobby Strange who had been lingering around the entrance of the library ran out and down to a law office. The men’s lawyer, Samuel Wilbert Tucker, had coordinated the demonstration. He sat waiting a couple of blocks away in his Princess Street law office for word of the impending arrest. Strange ran to his law office and informed Tucker of the arrest, which Tucker had known would occur. All five demonstrators were charged with disorderly conduct despite remaining quiet and polite inside the library and outside.
Their quiet and polite behavior, directed by Tucker, came up during the trial. Even Catherine Scoogin agreed that their behavior was orderly and not a problem, just their presence. The court records were destroyed, and the unknown judge never adjudicated the case, causing the charges to still be outstanding 80 years later.
Tucker’s plan for the demonstration stemmed from his own experiences of segregation and being denied a library card, along with retired Army Sergeant George Wilson. Even after the demonstration, when the city accelerated plans for the Robert Robinson Library, opened in 1940, Tucker never got a library card for the segregated branch. Librarian Scoogin personally delivered borrowers’ applications to Wilson and Tucker in January of 1940 for cards at the future segregated branch. Tucker, however, responded with “I refuse and will always refuse to accept a card — in lieu of a card to be used at the existing library.” He later again took to the courts to assert his rights. He ultimately moved to southern Virginia and acted as a defense lawyer for many poor black people (more information about Tucker’s later legal career, including work with the “Martinsville Seven,” work with NAACP, and fight against racism can be found here).
The Robert Robinson Library did benefit the black community in Alexandria despite its racist intentions and subpar materials. The library became a community base for those in the surrounding neighborhoods, which primarily had African-American residents. Today, the building houses the Alexandria Black History Museum.
The city erected a marker outside the library where the five demonstrators were arrested. The charges were officially dropped in 2019 by Circuit Court Chief Judge Lisa Bondareff Kemler, with support from Mayor Justin Wilson and Alexandria’s Commonwealth Attorney Bryan Porter. Judge Kemler signed an order declaring that Evans, Gaddis, Murray, Strange, and Tucker had broken no laws, and copies of the order were given to the demonstrators’ descendants.

Sebastian 2: Dark Times Arising is the second book in this series about Sebastian. A centuries-old vampire who abstains from killing humans. He is desperately in love with Hannah, a human with extraordinary powers. But after loving him passionately, she has rejected him due to his involvement in the death of her mother.
This is a rather dark story of lost love, betrayal and vengeance.
Apart from Hannah, humans are little more than stage props. The backdrop to the story focuses on powerful vampires and their attendant witches, and their efforts over centuries to rule the vampire world.
The multifaceted story itself holds interest, and the characters of Sebastian and Hannah are appealing. However the execution of the story is as tortured as the lives of Sebastian and Hannah.
The pace is good, and the structure suspenseful. However, the story is told (rather than shown) in a detached way that makes it hard to really connect with the characters. The dialogue is often more like a monologue, rather than a crisp exchange. The introspection means that we really understand what’s going on in our character’s heads. But it is repetitive and often chunky. Huge amounts of back story are also delivered in chunks that stop the story dead.
Errors such as incorrect tense, incorrect pluralization, head swapping (so it’s sometimes difficult to know which character is speaking), detract from an otherwise polished presentation.
I really admire the grandeur of the series story and the fleshed out main characters so I’m giving this book 3 stars in spite of its issues.


University of Southern Queensland, Toowoomba
22-23 November, 2017
This Conference is timed to mark developments in Australia’s migrant and minority printed press since 1967. It has been fifty years since Miriam Gilson and Jerzy Zubrzycki’s ground-breaking study on the foreign-language press in Australia. Australia’s cultural landscape has transformed significantly as a result of increasing understanding of, and services in support of, the diverse multilingual and multicultural communities across Australian society. Analysis of the printed press of such communities has also advanced through multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary research from several substantial historiographical influences, including discourses of postcolonialism and methodological developments in cultural history and world history approaches.
The Conference brings together the latest research on Australia’s migrant and minority press from the colonial era to the present day, with an emphasis on themes of belonging, community and conflict. The convenors welcome papers exploring any aspects concerning Indigenous, migrant and/or minority community newspapers (print or digitised) in Australia, as well as their intercultural, transnational and diasporic contexts. Papers speaking to multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary approaches are also of interest.

Genealogy Session To Offer Research in Regional Records
Those interested in discovering more about French or Native American branches in their family tree will have a chance to do so at a genealogy gathering Saturday, August 7, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the St. Ignace Middle School cafeteria.
Featuring an extensive “walking library” of genealogy records from the Mackinac Straits area, the event will provide an opportunity for people from across the area and the U.P. to exchange information and make new discoveries from the genealogy records that will be shared with the public.
“We have a huge collection of materials, and the chances of you finding something are pretty good,” said event organizer Cindy Leutz of Lansing, who added that an ancestry database on the Internet will also be available for use.
Ms. Leutz, who started the record-sharing gatherings 11 years ago, explained that many of the genealogy records in the region have been kept private by Catholic churches but are now becoming available for public use.
“Most of the time when you're dealing with English settlers, the records are in the courthouses, but that's not the case with the Native Americans or French that settled in Michigan. They're all in the churches, and it's imperative to get them,” she said.
Another reason that hunting down genealogy records in the Straits area is challenging, she said, is that after the War of 1812, the majority of Native Americans and French fled the region, scattering throughout Michigan and elsewhere in the Midwest.
“Anywhere there was a river, that's where they went,” she said. “It's been our goal to gather as many of these records as we can that pertain to where the Indians came and bring them all into one place so that people can research their own families.”
Theresa Weller of Lansing has been conducting research for a book on the Agatha Biddle band of Ojibwa Indians from Mackinac Island for the past three years, and she's hoping to interview some of the band's descendants at the gathering. Interestingly, the 67-member band, which has its roots in the 1800s, was almost all comprised of women, she said, which is what originally sparked her interest in the project.
“What we found is that there were only four men in this band, and that's very unusual for Ojibwa culture,” she said, adding that most of the women married French fur traders.
Ms. Leutz has discovered genealogies for all of the band members except two and said that, surprisingly enough, many of the women are descended from chiefs. She hopes to have the book completed next year.
Regardless of their ancestry, local families from northern Michigan will have a strong likelihood of making discoveries, Ms. Leutz said.
“We're familiar with most of the families from the area, and all of these people are related to each other in some way or another for the most part. There are a lot of people that come year after year [to the genealogy gathering] that are knowledgeable about local families, too,” she said.
Everyone is welcome to attend the session at the middle school. Admission is free.


READ A REAL EXAMPLE OF A HISTORICAL TIMELINE OF NURSING
The following free example is provided to give students a real life example of a research paper. Review this example in its entirety and begin writing your own today.
Beginning of the Historical Timeline of Nursing
The formation of the Daughters of Charity (also known as the Sisters of Charity) took place in 1633 by a widow named Louise de Marillace, and the French priest Vincent de Paul. This religious organization’s mission was to assist poor people by charitable contributions of self. Religious women during the 1600s were usually behind closed monastery walls to perform religious prayer and works; until St. Vincent de Paul came along to change everything. St. Vincent’s vision was to recruit young women to perform a variety of charitable works including nursing and teaching the poor in their homes. The concept of The Daughters of Charity grew at a remarkable pace throughout France and Europe, and even spread across vast continents. Eventually, the calling of these women was to care for wounded soldiers in many battles and wars earning the nickname of Angels of the Battlefield. St. Vincent could not know his foresight laid a foundation to modern nursing (Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2010).
The Crimean War is the focal point for the beginning of the history of Florence Nightingale, a commanding pioneer in the field of nursing. Sympathy for injured soldiers compelled Florence Nightingale to sign up as a volunteer in the Crimean War. According to The Hutchinson Unabridged Ecyclopedia (2009), this English nurse “reduced the Crimean War hospital death rate from 42% to 2%” (p. 1).
Timiras (1998) paints Florence Nightingale full of zest and adept at accomplishing goals. Nightingale cultivated a process for cleanliness that incorporated nurses to wash hands between patients and after meals, arranging to obtain needed clean supplies, and general cleanliness of the facilities housing the wounded soldiers. Nightingale’s plight for cleanliness was responsible for shaping the history of nursing.
Florence Nightingale became bedridden due to an illness contracted in Crimea. Illness would not prevail, however. Nightingale’s obvious obsession with healthcare reform would compel her to write the famous Notes on Nursing in 1859. This book was the first textbook specifically for use in the teaching of nurses and was translated into many languages. Ellis (2010) notes that the book is a reflection of the major accomplishments of Florence Nightingale which included “the organization of nursing training, in hospital planning, public and military health, and an effective collection of medical statistics” (p. 1).
Historical Timeline of Nursing (underlined portion not included in this paper): According to Smith (1993), the best part of Nightingale’s reflection is “nursing observations, relationships between medical and nursing staff, differences between nursing and midwifery, infectious diseases, food, management and noise” (p. 1). Another intriguing aspect is the mention of using birds and dogs as therapeutic devices for the sick. Pet therapy’s introduction into medicine came along over one hundred years later.
Historical Timeline of Nursing (underlined portion not included in this paper): In 1860, Nightingale’s School and Home for Nurses was founded in London. After a debilitating illness, Nightingale forged ahead with concepts learned during the Crimean War to help reform healthcare. The formation of the school was the hallmark of presenting the nurse as a true professional to the world (Cook & Webb, 2002).

Dr. Henry O. Howitt, Alice Oge & Marie Beale at the Marin Golf & Country Club clubhouse in 1911.
On March 14, 1923, the San Francisco Chronicle profiled Marin County in a special 24-page supplement. Although the supplement's intent was to promote Marin as a residential and recreational destination, viewed from today's perspective, it becomes a time-capsule of Marin as it was in 1923.
One article which caught my eye is titled "Three Golf Clubs Revel in Picturesque Marin Courses" by Hay Chapman. Chapman was a widely recognized authority on golf at the time and in 1922 had published Law of the links: Rules, Principles and Etiquette of Golf.
I'd like to share Mr. Chapman's article which highlights the Marin Golf and Country Club in San Rafael; Mill Valley Country Club; and the Belvedere Golf and Country Club:
"Marin county, which draws many San Franciscans to summer residence, besides having a considerable permanent colony of golfers, has three country clubs – the Marin County, Belvedere and Mill Valley.”
“The Marin Golf and Country Club, established in 1908, is in reality an offshoot of a much older organization, the San Rafael Golf Club, which was founded about 1895, at the same time that golf had its beginning in California. The names of Harvey, a young Scot, and a fine golfer as well as an all-round athlete, the Gilman Browns, J. J. Crooks and the Hardys still linger in the traditions of the game around San Rafael. The old course has been used intermittently, and there has been for the last year a movement to establish a municipal course at San Vicente [St. Vincent's?]....”
“The present club has an excellent park course of nine holes and a delightful clubhouse, one of the attractions being an open-air swimming pool. Golf here has always been blended with social pleasures, and the clubhouse is frequently the scene of private parties, even of notable weddings and periodical dinner dances.”
“Leslie Davies is the professional at Marin, having succeeded Harold Clark, now at Ingleside, who for many years was connected with this club. George U. Hind is the president of the club and Ralph Palmer captain and chairman of the green committee.”
“Within a few minutes’ motor ride from the senior club of the county is the altogether charming Mill Valley Country Club, with another nine-hole course, constructed four years ago, and beautifully situated in wooded pastures, while from the eighth tee is one of the most glorious vistas of splendid Tamalpais. It is a perfect little park course, the membership is enthusiastic, while from the time of its establishment it has been most wisely managed, the directors from the start cutting their coat according to their cloth. The original investment was some $15,000. and the club completed its course and at first a very modest and cozy clubhouse on this capital. Such men as Godfrey Eacret, Ben Upham, the incumbent president, and John F. Forbes laid the foundations for assured success and an entirely delightful institution.”
“The Belvedere Golf and Country Club, established in 1914, is unique. On the almost island, with Sausalito as its town, all the year round residents turn from the delights of the bay to a round of golf on this goat-climbing but interesting course. Many improvements have been made here in the last two years and the club boasts among its membership the brothers Ritchie, who often lead its team to victory over the other clubs in Marin. Charles F. Preusser, now in the Orient, has been the inspiring worker for Belvedere. M. Pierce Cook, the Mailliards and Edgar Wilson are among the present leaders. The club is only eight miles from San Francisco by a delightful ferry trip.”

Confessions of a Former Wall Street Whiz Kid
by Peter Grandich
with Jo Smith Schloeder
NEW THIRD EDITION! Confessions of a FORMER Wall Street Whiz Kid is a thought-provoking, real-life story of the ups and downs and ups again of one of Wall Street’s “half-famous” financial geniuses, Peter Grandich.
In this updated third edition of his witty and painfully honest autobiography, Grandich shares his thoughts about the accumulation of wealth and the hidden flaws of traditional financial planning. He exposes some of the dirty business of Wall Street and takes readers on a journey through his battles against panic attacks, suicide attempts and depression, and he shares how his faith not only helped him regain the will to live, but acts as the foundation for his financial beliefs.
A contrarian by nature, Grandich also explains what he sees as the next great threat to the United States – neither terrorism nor bio-warfare, but an economic time bomb of unprecedented proportion.
Confessions of a Former Wall Street Whiz Kid is just that: a complete divulgence of matters of life, health, wealth—and, of course, the ins and outs of Wall Street.
Endorsements and Reviews
Listen to Drew Mariani of Relevant Radio talk about Peter’s book, Confessions of a Former Wall Street Whiz Kid.
“Peter Grandich has combined faith, intellect, insight and many life experiences into Confessions of a Former Wall Street Whiz Kid. This book is both an easy and entertaining read and very thought provoking.” — Hon. David M. Walker, Former U.S. Comptroller General
“There is nobody on Wall Street who is kinder than Peter. Listen to him and enjoy his book. Even when he is wrong (and everyone is at some time or another) you can be sure that Peter will give you honest advice.” — John Crudele, Columnist, New York Post
“While I’ve benefitted from Peter’s financial advice, the real gift was seeing God transform his life for the better. Having a heavenly wife didn’t hurt him either.” — Joe Klecko, Former NY Jet
“In Confessions of a Former Wall Street Whiz Kid, Peter Grandich reveals his personal journey, not just from rags to riches but from material wealth to spiritual wealth. His insights into the flawed nature of financial planning and the false god of Retirement are alone worth the cover price. The ultimate treasure, he eloquently reminds us, lies not on earth, vulnerable to rust and thieves, but in the world that awaits us all.” — Jonathan Chevreau, National Post columnist and author, Findependence Day
“Peter’s honest and bold account shows that it is necessary for the Christ follower to lay down the very things we esteem above God Himself and that with God all things are possible-even a rich man entering the Kingdom of God.” — David Tyree, Former NY Giant and author of More Than Just The Catch
“This book brings us back to being American again and remembering that our forefathers said ‘IN GOD WE TRUST.’ If Peter ran for president, he would have my vote.” — Ron Greschner, Former New York Ranger
“In a world where fancy suits and Ivy League degrees are common, Peter Grandich took a most uncommon approach to finances and faith. He succeeded in both but not without battles along the boards and a couple of near game misconducts.” — Ken Daneyko, Three-Time Stanley Cup Champion with New Jersey Devils
“I feel like I should put out an alert: Attention all investors – read this book before you make your next move. Peter Grandich has managed to distill a lifetime of experience and hard lessons learned into this important book. It will make and save you money.” — Michael Campbell, Host of Canada’s MoneyTalks, heard on the Corus Radio Network
“Knowing Peter from childhood, I’m only too glad to suggest reading his book.” — Danny Aiello, Academy Award nominated actor and singer
“I want to congratulate Pete on this book. He has never been afraid to share the ups and down of his life. His story has both inspired and motivated me.” — Justin Tuck, NFL All-Pro
“Confessions of a Former Wall Street Whiz Kid is an absolute must for your spiritual library! Peter Grandich and his remarkable journey offer a powerful warning to those who put their trust in material things as well as great hope and inspiration for those trying to balance life’s true priorities. This book will challenge you personally, make you think, and hopefully, set you on the path to true freedom and fulfillment.” — Drew Mariani, Nationally-Syndicated Radio Host and award winning director
“Talk about a real knockout, my friend Peter Grandich has twice battled depression and has come out on top. His book deserves heavyweight recognition for his courage and willingness to share how he battled what life has thrown at him. Even during the darkest days, his priority has always been to help others.” — “Gentleman” Gerry Cooney, Former Heavyweight Boxer
“Peter Grandich’s story is truly a story of transformation, inspiration, and encouragement! Peter just doesn’t talk the talk; he walks the walk each day being brought closer to God, surrendering his will to His… a ‘Divine Ex-Change.’” — Lee Rouson, Two-time Super Bowl Champion NY Giant
“In the world of finance, where far too often people speak in platitudes, Peter Grandich delivers a concise, intelligent, and at time humorous look at the markets. Peter may ruffle a few feathers, but his expertise should not be ignored. I was a fan long before I was his friend, but I am happy to be both at this point in my life!” — Guy Adami, CNBC-TV Contributor
“It has been my pleasure to have known Peter Grandich now for thirty years or more and treasure him as a friend. Over the years I have come to enjoy his intelligence and wit, and appreciate his advice on financial matters. Most of all I am truly inspired by his ardent faith, his extraordinary generosity, his compassion for those who have met misfortune in their lives. I welcome this book that will illustrate these and so many more attributes of Peter’s makeup. However, let me make it clear that self praise is not the motive for his writing. Rather, he is driven to share in yet another way the many blessings that have come his way—even through the down times—and offer hope to those who may have been smitten by the hardships of life. It is my fervent hope and prayer that this book will indeed achieve these ends for the many.” — Very Rev. Brendan Williams, V.F.
“I have never asked Peter for his financial expertise, and he may be a Wall Street Whiz Kid, but his greatest gift to me was his friendship.” — Ray Lucas, Former NFL Quarterback
“I have known Peter Grandich for over 25 years. I have personally witnessed Peter’s strong religious, ethical and moral resolve in both his writings and in his life. Over the years, although the markets have witnessed change creating financial impacts upon Peter in both directions, Peter never vacillated from his inherent basic precepts of reverence for God, respect for family and unselfish generosity of time, money and influence dedicated toward the social good of his community.
“Thirty years ago, I attended an investment club meeting chaired by Peter. I was impressed and hired him as a broker for my securities firm. He excelled beyond my wildest dreams to the point he is now the guru to athletes and business CEO’s while enjoying a great walk with The Lord . I am honored to call him my friend. Well done, Peter.” — Bob Knapp
“I read his book and I saw the real Peter Grandich on every page. Although Peter is very visible in his professional life, he is an unassuming and humble man who is non-judgmental, easy to speak with and simply a ‘regular guy’. You would never know that he is an internationally-known, well-respected market commentator.” — Leonard Gray
“Peter Grandich came into my life at just the right time for me in 2008 as my real estate business was tottering and I needed “something else.” I read his most recent ” The Grandich Letter” at that time and literally collapsed at my desk, exhausted, though it was only about 10 pages. The reason was that I felt in my heart that this was the first time I had really heard truth spoken; I realized that I had been deceived my whole life as to how the world operates and that I needed to meet this man and learn more. I reached out to Pete; he was very gracious toward me and we quickly became great friends. Peter showed me a whole other industry, a fresh outlook and more importantly, a way to prepare for a time of reckoning that is quickly approaching.
Pete allowed me to read the final draft of “Confessions of a Former Wall Street Whiz Kid” before publishing. In it, I found him to be as candid as always. There is real hope for the informed and the diligent; thanks to Peter Grandich, I am both. You will know just what I mean when you read the book. Love you, Pete!” — Joseph Spano


Evansville’s historic 110-year-old library received some much needed renovation after years of fundraising and planning efforts were finally approved. The addition will modernize the building and provides more rooms for programming, teen space, conferences and other community needs.
The project began with asbestos abatement and demolition of the old post office that sat abandoned on the adjacent lot. This was to serve as the space for future expansion for the library. Demolition of the post office resulted in extensive unexpected soil engineering, as the remains for a church were found under the foundation of the post office. Poor soil and the material debris were removed and suitable soils were brought in. Pylons were driven into the ground to support the new foundation and basement of the library.
