<i>The Road to Transition is my story, which was forty days in the telling and fifty-five years in the living; that is, if you can call existing living. It still amazes me how much you can lose without actually realizing it. Each lost piece takes on the worth exceeding that of the finest of golden treasures. I know because in the telling of this story, I discovered that.</i></div>

Let me first start out so you the reader understand, I’m not transgender myself, I do support the rights of those LGBTQ and Transgender community and the movement to further rights. To say I fully understand every thing a transgender person goes through would be a lie, I don’t think anyone can. Just as no one can understand what anyone like yourself, yes you, the reader go through on a day to day basis and then dismiss it and say it’s not challenging.<br />
<br />
We can not through stones, or compare. We can come close, to an understanding here in these pages of “The Road To Transition" by Bree Record. To me though as I read it, it almost felt like a violation. Reading into someone’s personal diary without there knowledge or permission, but I did have it! It’s a book, a published book! Just as the author states in her introduction she didn’t change any of the pages, kept the pages as original from the diary leading up to her gender reassignment surgery. 40 days to be exact. Bree was candid, raw, and true. Added enough, so you got a look behind the curtain behind the mental anguish, loneliness, solidarity, being scared, the confusion, even excitement of it all.<br />
<br />
This is a book for all. A book for someone in same shoes as Bree, about to go through reassignment surgery or looking for someone who understands what it’s like to walk in similar shoes. I say “similar" because we all walk are own path but share a “similar” story at times. And those who don’t even fit In the category and just curious, want know more, know someone, or just want to know Bree story. This is book for Transgender men and woman and teens to the allies, non-transgender person just interested and the LGBTQ community. It’s a wonderful book. Take in mind since it has a diary vibe it’s a little oddly written, some chapters very short, but it’s authentic. That’s what this reviewer genuinely feels once she got to the end.<br />

The rich life of a woman committed to a professional vision ahead of its time, filled with glamour, excitement and adventure, is truly remarkable. Narrated in her own words, this is the story of such a woman, Eva Maze, who, from the time she left Romania as a teenager in 1939, dreamed of being a ballet dancer, and through a series a circumstances, became instead one of the most successful theatrical impresarios in Europe – with a career spanning more than 40 years. </i></span></div>

Set against key historical events of the 20th century, including the building of the Berlin Wall, the massacre at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games, as well as the rise and fall of Pan American Airlines, Maze’s fascinating past is brought to life through a combination of serious commentary and amusing anecdotes about the risks and rewards of the business side of theater and dance, some of the personalities who were part of those worlds from the 1940s to the 1990s, her own motivation for being an impresario, and her personal life. Her narration is supported by more than 250 captivating historical and modern images going back to her birth in 1922. </div>

Today almost everything you read, watch on television or in the movies has a superhero in it, or someone saving the day. Don't get me wrong I love my superheroes, it's one thing I look forward to at night to relax and unwind. It's rare to read about the real life superheroes, and that's what I want to share with you in this review, her name is Eva Maze. No, she can't fly, she doesn't have a magic lasso, but she has accomplished so much that most of us would envy. Its little hard to fathom <span style="font-size: 13.696px;">how incredible she is. <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

Eva had to overcome life's worst villains, one was scarlet fever back in 1929 in Romania as a young child and a doctor was fortunate to have cured her, but her dreams of being a ballerina came to a halt. She learned many languages, and later in life she put them to good use. Her family moved to the United States in Brooklyn, New York which saved them from the terror of the holocaust! Who knows if it wasn't for Eva's passion to see the worlds fair would they of wound up moving somewhere else in Europe?<br />

<br />
As time passed, Eva married but also continued her passion for the ballet and other type of dances, she was taught by many professional Russian ballet teachers. Eva did all of this plus she got her college education. Her passion was the performing arts and she did very well performing around the globe.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13.696px;">
With her own family and being involved with so much, seeing the triumphs and the downfall as the world spinning and time on its axis, Eva has seen history and has been a part of it. I was wrong when I said Eva did not have super powers. Eva has a magic lasso, her brain lassoed in all the knowledge and passion that she could reel in and she put it to good use. Eva's enthusiasm for living for all she could was her super power, she followed her dream to the end. She is Wonder a Woman.</div>

<i><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: left;">The second millennium saw the spread and consolidation of Christianity in Britain. One means by which the Normans tightened their grip on Britain after 1066 was by the construction of magnificent cathedrals, thereby demonstrating their intention to remain here. In his earlier book – England’s Cathedrals by Train – Murray Naylor explained how these hallowed buildings could be reached by train, relating their history and their principal features. His book invited readers to discover how the Normans and Victorians helped to shape our lives, either in constructing cathedrals or inventing railways. </span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: left;">England’s Great Historic Churches is the logical follow on to this book. Travelling across England it selects thirty-two of our ancient churches, relating their history and identifying those aspects which a visitor might overlook. His journeys include the great medieval abbeys at Tewkesbury, Selby and Hexham; the less well known priories at Cartmel and Great Malvern and other grand churches severely reduced after the Dissolution of Henry VIII’s reign, notably at Bridlington and Christchurch. He visits a church at Chesterfield where the spire leans at a crooked angle and goes to Boston, where the church - known as the Stump – was a starting point for many who emigrated to America in the 17th Century. Pride of place goes to Beverley Minster. In parallel he offers further observations on how railways have developed since the early 1800s and their future</span></i></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: left;"><i>A former professional soldier, Murray Naylor has long been fascinated by railways, including how they originated and how they have today been developed into a vital communication service. In recent years he has cultivated a similar interest in some of Britain’s medieval churches, in particular our great Anglican cathedrals and works as a volunteer guide at York Minster. He lives in North Yorkshire and has travelled widely to fulfil these two interests.</i></span></div>

After sorting fact from fiction, he not only identifies the Celtic prince who gave rise to the legend of Arthur, but reveals his family background, 6th century inscribed stones bearing his name and those of his contemporaries; locations of his courts, battle sites such as Badon Llongborth and Camlann; the identity of his enemies, the ancient Isle of Avalon and his final resting place.</span></i></span></div>

How many of you, like me, as a kid ever <span style="font-size: 13.696px;">dreamed of a place called Camelot, a King called Arthur, the round table and its knights. Or</span><span style="font-size: 13.696px;"> played</span><span style="font-size: 13.696px;"> pretend. As a kid maybe you were a </span><span style="font-size: 13.696px;"> knight fighting for Camelot and the Round Table. I know when Merlin was on television I watched every episode ofis it, of course that was</span><span style="font-size: 13.696px;"> a nonfiction tale of Arthur, but who didn't love it? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.696px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 13.696px;">King Aurthur was portrayed in many different forms in many nonfiction books and television. The legend of Aurthur pulling the sword out of the stone is legend, but who he really? Did h</span><span style="font-size: 13.696px;">e ever exist? Sure the History Channel did its research on the legend of King Aurthur, but they didn't really have the answers either. The legend of King Aurthur is known world wide, Chris Barber had done years of research with many of his colleagues helping him to find the answer. It took years for them to research if England really had a King name Aurthur, or was there a King that went by a different name and somebody wrote about him under a false name? I know I would really like to know so I can stop watching all these documentaries on King Aurthur and they don't know any more than the first minute of the program!</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This book is based on facts of research, dates, Roman soldiers, manuscripts dating back to the ninth-century and earlier. Statements of Aurthur leading his troops into battle, some say he was something less. This book entitles different publications of comments of King Aurthur, also his name was spelled in many different ways, no one knew which was the correct one. Chris goes back to when Britain had fought the Romans and not to mention many other battles. They suggested in King Authurs error there were about twelve battles, there are some historians who have negative views on the subject.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am not going to tell you what they discovered, if they did uncover the real King Aurthur or not, you will have to read the book. This book is a little complicated for some to sit down and enjoy, but if that is your preference then this is the book for you. This book “King Aurthur” has a lot of interconnected parts, many dates and complex names for some to get through. This book is composed of various diverse opinions related to King Aurthur, Chris and his team did a wonderful job of completing a exhausting and tremendous research to find out the facts if there truly is a King name Aurthur. </div>

With these mini-biographies of twenty agents of various nationalities (including members of the DGSE, KGB, CIA, MI6 and Mossad), Patrick Pesnot and 'Mr X' bring the reader as close as possible into the world of espionage, though a panorama of intelligence history.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: left;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: left;" /><span style="color: #111111; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: left;">Among the best known of these agents, the reader will find Aldrich Ames, an American accused of spying for the KGB; Eli Cohen, the Israeli spy best known for his espionage work in Syria and Klaus Fuchs, the German-born British agent who helped the USSR to manufacture its atomic bomb in 1949.</span></i></span></span></div>

Wow! This book is CRAZY good! There’s information that was collected to tell “ALL” about doubles lives of spies, the names , the countries that they conspired with. Patrick Pesnot starts off introducing the main spies of the ‘Cambridge Five’, traitors provided prodigious patronage to the Soviets. They betrayed the Queen of England, the Americans, and Germany, just to name a few countries. </div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13.696px; text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13.696px; text-align: start;">
Just like the movies they had cool codenames, for instance: codename: ‘Otto’, <span style="font-size: 13.696px;">The ‘Little Father’, the ‘Undertaker’, ‘Hawk’, just to give you a idea of who you will meet inside, but you have to read the book to discover who they are and how close they were aiding the president of the United States. There’s names that you will recognize, Roosevelt, Margaret Thatcher, Nixon, what important role did he have to play? This is a story of espionage, spies turning each other over, and also being disloyal to both sides. You’ll see how the Soviets took care of traitors of espionage, there were spies that crossed over because of their expensive living styles, or also being blackmailed because of their homosexuality. When an agent wanted out, it's not so easy to quit because you know too much, the lifestyle of a double agent of the Soviets. What do you do, you know you have to give something up for your life, it's sad what they gave up.</span></div>

If you enjoy a book that takes little effort to read, then this isn't the book for you. There are ‘endnotes’, you must pay close attention to the names and places and dates for there might be a small number by it and for the definition you would have to refer to the ‘endnotes’. </div>

With what's going on with the world today in the news, is our own government spying on us? How different spying has become since World War ll read this book and see how they did it then and how long it took them to get caught.</div>

<i><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><i style="background-color: transparent;">Her story is one of the most remarkable and endearing of the war, as this young woman, serving as a ferry pilot with the Air Transport Auxiliary, transported aircraft for the RAF, including fast fighter planes and huge four-engine bombers. On one occasion Mary delivered a Wellington bomber to an airfield, and as she climbed out of the aircraft the RAF ground crew ran over to her and demanded to know where the pilot was! Mary said simply: ‘I am the pilot!’ Unconvinced the men searched the aircraft before they realized a young woman had indeed flown the bomber all by herself. </i></span></i></div>

The matter of war never goes away. When you think of war what comes to your mind? Men flying planes to their destination to bomb their target. That's the only word we heard through history was how the men bravely fought heroically, but what about the unknown heroine. We heard about the women taking over the men's position in the factory's and building ships, working as engineers, to name a few. How many know about women Ferry Pilots flying aircrafts to their needed destinations for the ATA during war time?<br />
<br />
This is a story about a brave woman that was born in Oxfordshire and grew up always yearning to fly like the birds in the sky. She finally got her chance to fly like a “bird” at Whitney Airfield. Her name is Mary Wilkins. As you read forward, Mary Ellis (Wilkins) relives her life as a young child and her desire to reach the sky and about the other women that had historically achieved greatness in flying. From the first women flyer to the women that had worked and accomplished the rights for women. those that flew militant aircraft fighters, also the women that Mary knew and had lost in a harrowing event. Mary's story of flying takes us through the good times flying aircrafts from her first Spitfire which was her favorite, it gave her pleasures flying high than any other plane.<br />
<br />
Mary supplies photographs of time long ago when she was the happiest standing with flying colleagues, and tells about her hit and miss of flying from the first time she enters the cockpit to the time she hangs up her propellers. Her life story was the need for flying so was it such a shock) that she thrived for speed, which is why she got into car racing, which shouldn't be a surprise. I'm not going to reveal anymore about Mary's life adventures, so if you enjoy the thrill of speed and soaring in the air I would recommend you read this book of this woman who really had lived.<br />

<b><u>Book Description:</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Promises, a work of historical fiction inspired by the life of the author’s paternal great-grandfather, chronicles the lives of two boys the same age who grow up together. More than friends, they are buddies, constant companions, confidants, and accessories in everything they do. Joining the Confederate Army together in March of 1862 and engaging in and surviving some of the most catastrophic battles of the Civil War, the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg changed their lives forever. In the words of the author, “Starting with the first sentence, I want my readers to be drawn into the saga and be connected to the uniqueness of its personalities, their circumstances, and their surroundings.” We feel the author succeeded in putting into words the spirit and strength of those who lived in rustic, agricultural surroundings between 1840 and 1940. Their lives were unbelievably difficult and demanding, yet they endured and flourished. </i></div>

<br />
This novel tells a story before and after the civil war about the adventure of a boy that grew up to see life from the 1840-1940. Promises takes you back to the 19th century and shows you the simple life and hardship of living to the average life of two families. This is well written and I highly enjoyed it. I recommend this book to those who enjoy a story that has adventure, romance, devotion, drama and more! Have fun reading! I dare you not to be drawn in!<br />

Ardyce Durhuuim lives in South Texas and is retired after spending many years of her life in careers ranging from teacher to big rig truck driver to minimum-wage employee at a plant nursery. Even though she’s supposed to be retired, Ardyce stays busy working on her ninety-year-old house as a “shade tree” carpenter, plumber, and electrician. Durham also tries to keep the yard looking like someone lives there who cares about the way the place looks. When someone asks her if she’s retired, she replies, “Not really. I’m self-employed.” Ardyce is a widow with three children, three grandchildren, six dogs, and a cat.</div>

How many people can say they had really lived life? Bill Morgenstein, “The Crazy Life Of A Kid From Brooklyn,” is a good example of not giving up on life. He wrote his memoir growing up in Brooklyn and fulfilling his dreams.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
Bill Morgenstein has enthusiasm towards life and it's no wonder he has succeeded, even through tough times when he lost everything he had. He had the savvy to keep punching his way forward and relied on his experience to get him back on top. Bills intelligence and the love for life is why he had succeeded, I think for anyone who enjoys reading about success stories this is well-written and interesting. His journey through life and the present times, the humorous stories and the sad happenings that lead to his down fall. I recommend you read his journey and his wonderful travels. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<i>Its a book that will have you sitting there saying really? That cant be. You have to be kidding me, how is that possible? To the very end where all you have to say is "wow" and "respect". </i>Its a literary journey you wont regret</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Xerxes, the Great King of Persia invades Greece in 480 B.C. at the head of a massive army. Three hundred Spartans and King Leonidas die heroically blocking the Persian advance at the pass of Thermopylae. The Persians are poised to conquer all of Greece. The only one standing in their way is a woman – Gorgo, Queen of Sparta. Though history has relegated her role to that of a bystander, what if she played a central role in the Greek resistance to the Persian invasion. What if she kept her true role a secret in order to play it more effectively? What if she was hiding other secrets too – dark secrets of murder and vengeance? What if the only person who truly appreciated her genius was an enemy prisoner whom she has vowed to kill? What if after their victory, the Greeks started to turn on each other? What if, eventually, Gorgo had to choose between the security of Sparta and safety of her son? And what if the only one who could find a way out is the same prisoner who had once fought against the Spartans?</i></div>

The Queen of Sparta: by T.S. Chaudhry is a story of Gorgo, the Queen of Spartan. It is a historical fiction novel based on facts, information known, and what could of been. Since there is no definitive proof of what exact role she played, this was a great book to read of Queen Gorgo and role in history. What if she had a much bigger role to play than was ever documented or ever known? As known throughout history and in the novel Queen of Sparta by T.S. Chaudhry, Queen Gorgo definitely was a strong woman who had an influence of the ones around her.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I did enjoy reading the history of Sparta and the wars that was fought. I'm glad to see that the names were kept as they were kept as they appeared through out history, in their original form. I think this book was well written and enhance Gorgos wisdom and no doubt the cleverness she portrays. Even though the story and history was changed to show other possibilities and challenges Queen Gorogos would have to face it still showed how strong of a woman she really was and how she was not afraid to challenge those around her. With the role she played through this story I found this book to be quite enjoyable.<br />
<br />
This is a book for a true fan of history and who respects the authentic approach the author takes to perserving historical accuracy within names and facts that he does weave through out. This by no means is a leisure read, if you are looking for something light than thisbis not it. If you are looking for something more heavily delved into war, action, a blast to the past to Ancient Greece and the spartans, this is for you. This novel is light on the story which is common for historical fiction novels. I do recommend it to those who love history with a twist and for the love of Ancient Greek names.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Who'd </i><i>have thought a bright, but fairly ordinary young man from middle class America who got just above average grades, dated the same girl throughout high school and went to church most Sundays, would grow up to eventually head a very secretive band of brave individuals-both men and women-who regularly put their lives on the line because they wanted to protect the rest of you. Yet </i><i>that's </i>what we did, often sacrificing our personal lives (four marriages for me, all in the book) and our health (countless broken bones, major surgeries, even death) to do it.</div>

Meanwhile you’re just going to have to call me “Papa” like everyone else around the globe has through most of those wildly unpredictable and dangerous years.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
As I read the book Code Name: Papa it was hard to put down from the start. Usually books have a hard time catching the readers eye and definitely ones attention. Well this isn't the case for this book by John Murray. His memoir gives a insight into his life. His life was ultimately crazy, not only his personal life was upside down but he also was fighting a war people were protesting. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
John Murray introduces us to a wonderful band of people from the beginning of the book to the end. As friendship and colleagues over the years either betrayed his trust or mysteriously vanished to have died of "natural causes". He tells of contacts all over the country that he can turn to when he was in trouble and their loyalty to help him when in need. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
This book is not for the faint hearted, it's a story of an undercover agent, and his experiences through his eyes. The book has death, revenge, and more death. This book was extremely hard to put down, I enjoyed reading it from start to finish. It gives one shivers to even think what the life John Murray and his friends and colleagues had given up. They gave up a chance at a “normal” life so we the average citizen could go about our day to day lives as we see fit. This agent went through intense operations, recruitments and bone chilling assignments. I for one am thankful for “Papa” and colleagues for the selflessness dedication protecting our country. This is a must read book with desecration advisement for young readers. This is a book I highly recommend. Now go out and read!</div>

<i><b>JOHN MURRAY</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>A Vietnam vet, John Murray, later known as "Papa," has spent the majority of his adult life working as an undercover agent for the U.S., Canadian and various European governments. During this time, he rose from agent to the head of US Operations.</i></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>John was raised in the South by his grandfather who taught him at an early age how to survive by hunting and fishing, which all served him well for his future. He firmly believes that if he had not had the guidance of his grandfather and others who influenced his life that he never would have survived the ordeals that he did.</i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>John, who enjoyed a very average American childhood, always wanted to be a ‘normal’ husband and father, but you'll eventually understand why that was impossible. </i></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Papa and his crew’s bore the responsibility of taking care of much of the world’s evil – evil that could never have come to the public’s attention.</i></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Now retired, he and his wife are living in a small rural Western town. As ‘normal’ as he tries to live, he will always be haunted by the visions of what he saw and what he tried to prevent or rectify.</i></div>

<i><b>SHARON MURRAY</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Sharon is a retired business executive who has lived in many parts of the US and in Asia. Happily married to John for over five years, she had no idea about his work until she experienced his nightmares about the past. After discussions about how she might help John, he asked Sharon to help him write his memoirs just as something to leave behind, unpublished. After several years of working on them, Sharon convinced John it was a story worth telling to the world. Working on this project has helped John start to face some of the things he experienced while trying to be a good guy in a world gone awry.</i></div>

<i><b>ADDITIONAL INFO:</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>We chose to work with the wonderful people at Archway Publishing after several other publishers we knew expressed concern about our safety and theirs surrounding the publishing of this book. For this reason, we are using pseudonyms instead of our real names to protect us, our families, the agents in this book, as well as their families who are unaware of the actual work John's crew did. We've also changed a few locations, but not all. We expect that some of our European readers may recognize some of the missions we covered in the book, especially readers in the UK (Code Name:Papa). </i></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>This book is for those who believe they know all they need to know about the criminal justice system — the system that keeps us safe from criminals; the system that protects its good, law-abiding citizens. Told in two sections, the first a first-person perspective of a victim’s husband, American Justice is a true story that provides an up close and personal look at the American justice system and how easy it is to become a victim of the system. The focus within this book is more than the victims’ stories — it is a crucial and critical examination of how things can go very wrong, especially when one does not adequately understand the laws that are supposed to protect them. Paul Brakke and his wife Carol believed that obeying the law and telling the truth was good enough. They believed that truth would indeed prevail. They were wrong. Paul and Carol Brakke’s nightmare began when some local kids falsely accused Carol of trying to run one of them over. The kids didn’t like her interfering with their play at a dangerous intersection. Based on this false accusation and additional lies by neighbors who wanted to get the Brakkes out of the neighborhood, Carol was subjected to psychological warfare, which included an involuntary commitment to a psych ward, two psychological evaluations, exile from her home, delays in setting a trial date, and the threat of a 16-year jail term. These circumstances forced the Brakkes to agree to move out of their home to another community as part of a plea bargain in which all charges relating to aggravated assault were dropped. This book describes Carol and Paul’s harrowing experience, followed by Paul’s discussion of problems in the criminal justice system and recommendations on what to do to resolve those problems. As the second section of this book points out, much can go wrong in legal cases. As such, it is vital to educate yourself about the U.S. criminal justice system to prevent becoming a victim and to improve the system to make ours a better country and a more just society.</i></span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is a book about the criminal justice system going awry for two people with professional careers. The first part of the book is about the wife’s terrible experience with the neighbors and their children that made their playground in the road by their home. The unpleasantness of being harass by spiteful neighbors and by their unruly children that the parents turn a blind eye to is not a story that is more common than you think. Stories I’ve been told of people that lie in court, to office officials and you being the only one thinking telling the truth will bring you justice. Wrong! </span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Unfortunately the courts and the officers that are trying to keep the peace can only do their best by trying to examine the evidence, witness testimonies , ans reconsteuction of events hoping to coming up with a remince of what took place or did not. In the end only to come up with the best conclusion that they can and it turns out you’re the one that gets the raw end of the deal. No one said the process was following proof, but you can only.hope honeaty will prevail. It's a horrible situation to be in especially when you feel that justice has abandon you and put you through the mill. It drags you out, puts a toll on both the husband and wife emotionally and physically. Strain is put upon you both then it leads to stress in the marriage. For people to think you would maliciously hurt their children creates more stress, knowing you are a better person than their saying. It seems to me that if the parent of the child that was struck with the car and they had believed honestly that it was done maliciously the question I have is why did they settle with a deal that the Brakkes move and they drop the charges. Weird right? If was them and that was my child that was struck on purpose or even by accident I would want justice. Right for the jugular! The Brakkes were screwed no matter what because it was them against the neighbors, and in Justice they go by the number of “witnesses.”</span></div>

<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">No matter where people live there will always be somebody that has it out for you or a child that will push your buttons. The only thing they came out with is experience with spiteful people, liars to get their way. In today's society get out your cell phone and record the event. Third party witness. Put cameras up around your house in case of vandalism. Don't be shy that's the way society is now, it's all over television everyone does it. Why? Because so many people been there, different scenarios, common thread, video evidence prove your case or show there is more than one story. Many wish it could be different but for every case like the Brakkes, to keep a dialog going and questions asked, have evidentiary proof that speaks to the ladder. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 14px;">Paul Brakke, son of Eastern European immigrant parents-his father a Nobel laureate scientist-and recipient of eight prestigious R01 grants from the National Institutes of Health, was born and raised in New York City. Brakke worked in scientific research in Seattle, Los Angeles, Nashville, and Galves</span><span class="_dgc" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; display: inline; font-size: 14px; max-height: 999999px;">ton, where he spent 22 years-the bulk of his scientific career and as a professor. He was a largely successful scientist with many publications when his life was turned upside down when his wife was accused of aggravated assault. His book, American Justice?, is that story, along with his critique of the criminal justice system.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14.9906px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Some time ago, dogs became as interwoven in the American culture as baseball, apple pie and the Fourth of July. In fact, in most households, the dogs have even trumped evolution itself and jumped straight to being four legged humans where they are adorned with human names, designer outfits and fed diets that would confound even the best nutritionist. In most cases, we've granted them our human intelligence and our sacred human emotions as well. They are no longer dogs to us, they're family! Yet, for all that man has done to carve the wolf from the wild to create a surrogate human, today's dog is still a wolf at heart and the accompanying instincts borne from such ancestry defines how the dog approaches its world.</i></span></span></div>

This is a book about the inner wolf of our domestic family companion. The author shares his views on how we pass our human behavior onto our family pets and we should not to over look the wolf in our dog. Bailey talks a lot about the behavior of the dog that is passed down from the wolf no matter how much the DNA is broken. He also expeessed even when creating a new breed with the experimentation of cross breeding, the wolf, its instincts will always be there no matter what.</div>

Bailey explains the instinct that drives a dog to do the little things that annoy us, such as digging, barking, and blatantly ignoring all calls for to come when called. I agree with what he has shared with us, and I'm sure you will as well if you pick up a copy yourself. You'll be sitting there like "yeah, my dog does that" or "wow, that actually makes sense why he/she does that", even the "yup that is true/makes sense." I do especially agree with Brian about the bribery. I found in my own personal experience with my own dog, trying to make him come with treats doesn't work. He's not stupid, far from it, he is actually quite cunning and associates treats with being tricked to come when he doesn't want to be caught. So employed another method. When I want him to come when I call, no bribery, no tricks, I just want him to know when he comes he is better off. It's a give take, I let him do a round the yard sniffing, exploring but when it down to.coming in, there is no getting loud, just a call no louder than my speaking voice. It may take a few tries, a little more stress, but he knows when he comes he gets the attention he is looking for and also go to let bis inner wolf sore. As well Knowing when he listens makes me happy, makes him happier to.</div>

I have a miniature pincher, who I briefly discussed above, he's eighteen inches high, two years old and his name is Cujio. It's ok, laugh, everybody does, but he knows his inner wolf. He’s the most lovable and loyal companion there is, and the most fashionable. Big or small, in the end it comes not down to the dog, but you. You did not get stuck with a bad dog or a good dog, it's all about you! Wether it's a pit bull or a chihuahua, give them love and rules but also let them experience their inner wolf, they will love you to the end and make a great companion. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
I recommend this book for those who love their pets and want to understand why they do what they do. When you see you pet doing something he shouldn’t and all you want to do is ask, “what the hell are you thinking!?” Read this book, then you’ll know.</div>

Hope you and your furry companion enjoy!<br />

<i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Raised in Fairbanks, Alaska, Bryan Bailey grew to appreciate the wildness of the land and its abundant wildlife. In particular, he developed a fondness for the gray wolves that roamed the vast mountain ranges and forests near his home. Under the guidance of a Special Forces Survival Instructor, he spent years studying the social interactions of wolves in their packs and discovered that, beyond obvious physical similarities, there were also behavioral similarities between the wolves and the sled dogs that were his family's pets. </span></i></div>

<i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i style="background-color: transparent;">Bryan has traveled to over thirty countries in Europe, Africa, the jungles of southeast Asia and the remote regions above the arctic circle in his pursuit of learning the behaviors of hyenas, lions, tigers and the gray wolf, with an emphasis on how instinct, passed from the gray wolf, has affected the behavior of our domestic dogs.</i></span></i></div>

<i style="background-color: transparent;">Bryan is currently busy writing his second book, "The Hammer - Understanding Canine Aggression." He hopes the book will educate readers about the most dominant tool in the wolf and dog's bag of survival equipment - Aggression (The Hammer). This tool has allowed for ingestion, digestion, reproduction and survival by wolves for thousands of years in a very hostile and competitive world and it was passed to our dogs. Its use by our dogs is often misinterpreted and misunderstood and this has led to an increase in avoidable attacks to dog owners and their children.</i></div>

Adam Starks P.H.D for him the writing seems cathartic, therapeutic, but it’s a real life story of perseverance, hard work, an not allowing society to dictate where you go in life based on social and economic status. Yes I know, it sounds like another one of those stories but you will have to trust me when I say, this story will act as a inspiration to many who feel the odds are stacked against them.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Broken Child Mended Man by Adam Starks is more than “Once was and now is…”, this is what separates his story from the rest. Yes it starts off sounding like another story of someone who had a “ruff time and became successful, the end” but it’s much, much more than that. Its not autobiography that is written like a how to manual for success either. It’s a autobiography that feels real. Feels genuine from word to word. Packed with emotion and details into each chapter you feel you are experiencing the highs the lows, heart reaching pain of abandonment, and the anger and resentment of having to go through the system, and the hopes and dreams of wanting more, know you deserve, and wanting better. And with each day crossing the threshold to school, you wonder what it would be like if people really only knew.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
As you read Adam Starks autobiography for many it will be a eye opener, they will get a glimpse into the other side of how life could have been for themselves if they did not have a constant support system or caring parents in their lives. For Stark he did not just prove society wrong, he proved those who stacked the odds against him, he also proved to those around him that it's possible and you do not have to let others dictate what you become. Stark accomplished more than most people do in a lifetime. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
This autobiography Would be a wonderful book in English classes when teaching nonfiction literature, a book guidance counselors can recommend to their students, a perfect book for high school students, for students and young people who feel the odds are stacked against them. Broken Child Mended Man is a inspirational story for those who feel their lifestyle, surroundings, means they don’t have a chance in furthering themselves.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
As well, I tip my hat to the author, praise for opening up so much about his life. The way he grew up, the harsh conditions, the reality of how bad it was. To the author for sharing so much and allowing ones self to be exposed and vulnerable, open, and share with all to read.<br />
<br />
The author, Adam Starks P.H.D is a testament and living proof that your surroundings and the way you grow up does not dictate or have to dictate what you become. We may not feel we deserve more but that's because others say so trying to put you down. You are the judge and jury and what you want, what you are willing to strive to, is successful waiting.<br />

A Long Walk With Sally: A Grieving Father’s Golf Journey Back To Life by David Clark Jr. Is about exactly as the title states and more. It’s a fathers journey, it’s a grief , loneliness, a whole in the heart that can’t be filled, a pain that will never go away but can eventually find solace and a courage to overcome the worst thing that can be possibly thrown at you. A loss of a loved one. He was not alone in his Grieving but this is a fathers journey to overcome what seems impossible.</div>

The author puts it all out there for the readers, with extreme courage shared a very vulnerable time in his life, he put it all out there for the world to see, for people to judge, this is a piece of writing that was not only for the readers but for the author himself in his road to healing. </div>

A whole that can never really be filled…but a quest for peace is what was needed. It didn’t happen overnight but over 10 years, 30p golf courses, various terrains and layouts and difficulty. An exploration around the British Isles, this may seem unconventional to some, but there is not a right or a wrong way when overcoming a loss. Sure we all know the stages of grief, denial, anger, but the last is so important, expectance, but no one can tell you how to get their. We are all different and this was David’s way. It didn’t just end on the golf course, his loss, his family’s loss, became a book. It’s book that showcases a fathers love, his grief and hardships, a honest and honorable memory to his daughter. May the message live on and help many more that may read this book.</div>

For loss may be universal but grieving is unique to the indivualI recommended this book to those who loved and lost, may they find solace in helping words written here in this book, because it’s a story that will show you the understanding, walk with you through the ups and down but most importantly show you there is still room for rembering and solace. I applaud the courage and the strength it took David to write this book and share his story. May others find solace within these pages.</div>

Manual For The Soul: Beginner’s Guide; Awaken to Your Enlightenment in Millennium 2.1 by Jordan Finneseth, I guess you can call it just that a guide to your enlightenment or a manual to your soul, I would call it more of a refresher on What You Already Know. A reminder where you want to be, a helpful guide on how to get there as if you were talking to a good friend.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
“In the age of superheroes and Harry Potter, the thing on everyone’s minds is bringing magic back into the world. <br />
….the only way to do that is to clear the fog of ignorance and gain a little awareness….With that awareness comes enlightenment, and with enlightenment comes magic. The way to begin to do this is to stop focusing on the distraction of separation and move forward with our fellow explorers and consciously evolve together (MFTS).”</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Some call it enlightenment others call it that “Ah Ha” moment, that moment when you realize there is something even bigger than yourself out there, there is more to be discovered out there, outside of your small Rural Township. A whole nother life yet to be lived, a chance at whole new opportunities that have yet to be taken, risk yet to be made, to be matched, changes to be made, unity yet to be formed. A whole nother world out there yet to be matched because we yet to open are selves up to the possibility, to the opportunity. We have yet to open are mind to the Flux of new changes coming in waves and the awareness to change happening on a grander scale.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Manual For The Soul: Beginner’s Guide; Awaken to Your Enlightenment in Millennium 2.1 is a book to help one to harness and encourage one to become the person they may want to be. A path to create change and be the change you want to see. It’s exactly that as it sounds a self help book and what you take from it is what you put into it.</div>

<i>Like many in the Millennial generation, I pursued higher education directly after high school, obtaining a bachelors and master’s degree in clinical/counseling psychology. During that time, I was also on my own journey of self discovery which really took off when I began meditating and developing myself spiritually. I studied numerous ancient and modern traditions and texts and came to the conclusion that each path was a person who once tried to describe their Enlightenment.</i></div>

<i>After working as a therapist for a few years, I focused on healing the body and obtained an associate’s degree in Medical Massage. Since that time I’ve studied various healing traditions – physical, mental, and energetic – to become an all-around healer and Spiritual Development Coach.</i></div>

<i>After investigating the best way to help people heal from anything, I’ve determined (as stated by many people before me) that the best way to heal another is to teach them to heal themselves. Our minds, bodies, and the energy that infuses them are capable of extraordinary things, we just need to learn to harness that capability.</i></div>

<b><u>Book Description :</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i>This is the first book in The Empire series, books about various unusual Roman Emperors. The second book, Augustus, will be out later this year.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i>This one is a story, a true story which I always think are the best of stories. A Story of Ancient Rome. An Adventure Story, perhaps?</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i>It is a story of two protagonists, Julius Caesar and Marcus Cato. They represented two opposing philosophies, both dedicated to the same end, the recovery of the health of the Roman Republic which was in their day unwell. Both men were fighters, Caesar on the battlefield where he was arguably the greatest tactician ever and certainly of his times, and plucked many a victory from the jaws of defeat. Cato fought in the Senate. There he opposed Caesar and everything he stood for. It wouldn't have needed much, a different decision by Caesar on crossing the Rubicon for example, to have made Cato pre-eminent in history and Caesar just a byword. This is their story.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i>The book takes the form of alternating chapters written by each of the two protagonists. The action covers a wide geographical range, from North Africa in the south to England in the north, from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to Greece in the east.</i> </div>

<b>From Brian Igoe: A sample chapter, Chapter 1 which is about Cato, can be read on my website, at </b>http://www.caesarcato.org/extract1.html</div>

<br />
Caesar and Cato are two forces in history during the rise of the Roman Empire that had different views how things should be but wanted one thing similarly, the succession of the Roman Republic. With any story you read there is a debate on type of person Cato really was, but this story is to try to go through a sequence of events and territories to give you their story. With anything in history the farther back you travel or the less you know, those areas are feathered in and a conclusion comes from what you know is not yet offered and a byline is created connecting you to the history that has already been forged and well known and documented.<br />
<br />
With any good historical fiction like Caesar and Cato –The Road To Empire, take what we know of the time, the people, the political system and their tactics and we get to learn about the people and what drove them to do what they did. Why they chose the sides they chose. Was Cato as honest as some thought In the way he lead his men or was he just as corrupt as the rest. Was Caesar worth noting more in history for his actions, and how did they influence history as we know it.<br />
<br />
You can continue the debate, learn more about the men who rose and fell. When it comes to Roman History ini still a lot of questions, but here is another, none the less to add to the books for historical fiction lovers and history buffs alike.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.25px;"><i>When Gretchen Swartwout died suddenly in 2006, Her husband of 54 years, Chuck, was not quite ready to call it quits. He combined his deep Christian faith with his decades of experience as an engineer and creative problem solver to produce this "common sense" analytical exploration of the idea of heaven and a life a er death. From interpreting scripture to testing the work of "mediums," this book explores the afterlife in a way it's never been done before.</i></span></div>

You start to ask when did it happen? When did growing up mean throwing belief out the window cause science said so. When did it happen? When things started to change for the better or worse? Then who? Who would it be to come into your life to make you see things differently? Then who? Who would it be that even being away from for a few hours without them seems a life time? Then who? Who was the one that when it happened you lost yourself, lost a piece of yourself. Now let’s change the channel….TO, You Don’t Die-You Just Change Channels! By Chuck Swartwout.<br />
<br />
You Don’t Die-You Just Change Channels by Chuck Swartwout takes a “common sense” approach to explaining why there is more to life than death and the existence of the almighty, capital HIM. The author takes a more conversational approach to his book, making the reader feel as if they are discussing the topics within with the author himself. Without being bogged down with complicated word use and technical garble it’s a breath of fresh air. Your introduced to the author in the beginning, with explanation for each and every decision that went into the book, from the book cover, to the inspiration for a non-fiction novel, it’s approach and more. The intention is not to sell his beliefs or push them on the reader but to share another point view backing it up with examples dotted out through history. A book that may be religious or not, you can believe in it or choose not to, either way you can still enjoy the subject matter. Why? because no matter what you are never told what to think, how to feel, you are told just what he has learned and how there is so much more out there to learn still about the living, the dead, the afterlife.<br />
<br />
You will find the book is more a matter of opinion, reflections, and how others see the after life such as different religion and ethnicity, and cultures. One of the examples comes from the author’s granddaughter who is in the Peace Corp. No matter your point of view on the subject you cannot help but contemplate and form your own theories, if it’s for or against. No matter what you feel about the author’s “credentials” for the topic, you cannot deny he has solid and valid points such as communication which is a multivariate understanding.<br />
<br />
As well, like most people, the author chose to write about what he believes and what he knows about. Motivated to finally publish his work after a loss, it was also the authors way of coping, grieving, and honoring memories of his beloved wife. Those who have lost someone, anyone, close or somewhere in between, you find along the way being able to relate to his views, and along the way finding yourself finding comfort between the pages.<br />
<br />
He once also employed similar methods, Houdini went to look for answers to the after life after the loss of someone he deeply cared about, his mother. He went and looked to those who claimed they were able to speak to those who hung in between the veil, to find a truth amongst the frauds. Seeking answers to where one might go after death, if there was a sense of existence, and if there was a life after death. For Houdini, he may have never found the answers he sought out for, but after reading You Don’t Die-You Just Change Channels by Chuck Swartwout shows just cause science is yet to prove does not mean the possibility doesn't exist.<br />

Or maybe you’re experiencing a change in life and you’re not quit sure how to handle it. Well Gary Szenderski is the author of ‘Szen Szone’, a self-help book, or also a guide to help with the quality of life.

<i>Daryl Wein discovered he was among the millions of patients with type 2 diabetes while studying to become a Physician Assistant. That's when he found out that, despite type 2 diabetes making up the vast majority of cases, most of the reading material he could find was geared toward patients with type 1 diabetes. Type 2 Diabetes The Owner's Manual is his way of fixing that. This handbook is an easy-to-read guide on how to manage your blood sugar primarily through diet. It is written clearly and concisely, explaining the difference between the two diseases in a way that is easy to grasp. You don't have to be a health professional to understand the book. Wein includes concrete examples of what to eat and what to avoid. He talks about the importance of exercise and provides information about medicines in a way that the layman can comprehend without needing to know medical terminology.<br />
Diabetes is a life-long disease that affects the way your body handles glucose, a kind of sugar, in your blood.</i></div>

Most people with the condition have type 2. There are about 27 million people in the U.S. with it. Another 86 million have prediabetes: Their blood glucose is not normal, but not high enough to be diabetes yet.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
While certain things make getting diabetes more likely, they won't give you the disease. But the more that apply to you, risk factors such as family history being over the ago of 40, poor dieting, not watching what you eat, etc. the higher your chances of getting it are. Some of those things are not your fault and are out-of your control, for example age is out of your control, its just the normal process of life. So the key is to focus on the things you can control, because the more you know about what you have and are aware and we’ll informed about what you have, the better prepared you will be in the long hall. This will allow you to have more opportunities to be in control of your Type 2 Diabetes not your Type 2 Diabetes being in control of you. </div>

Into today’s society with everything just at quick drive to a local convenient store, gas station, quick lunches on the go and a lot of take out or not eating a well balanced meal, home cooked cause you are constantly on the go….it’s easy to let your own health fall between the cracks. It all starts with a healthy, properly portioned meal and knowing what can lower your chances for the disease. Even if you do all of it right does not mean you won’t get it but it lowers the risk. In the end it falls down to being proactive, educate yourself and be sure to ask questions.

This is where the author and his book steps in, Type 2 Diabetes-The Owner Manual by author and a family practice Physician Assistant, Daryl Wein. Daryl Wein once diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes thought it was all over for him, it ran in the family so he knew he had a chance of getting it….but also remembered what I his grandfather endured. With guidance and research he learned more than the doctors had time to sit and tell. A way to manage it better, since so many resources are geared towards Type 1, they are not as effective for Type 2 suffers.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
As Daryl Wein puts it, Type 2 Diabetes suffers, you don’t have true diabetes that is Type 1. For those with what doctors commonly referred to Type 2 Diabetes is really what Wein so cleverly puts it, “Carbosis”. What is “Carbosis”, simply enough means you have problems with carbohydrates. Having such issues, especially long term elevated blood sugars has consequences for other parts of the body. It has gradual but irreversible damage to the eyes, kidneys, nerves and the entire circulatory system. As Wein puts it there are ways for one to be in control of their carbosis with out the use of medication, now this may not be the best method for all, but you should always be aware of all your options. Now the best option for those who suffer from high blood sugar is avoid carbohydrates, for many with Carbosis cutting out carbs will joy only help you lower your blood sugar buy also lose weight which also is a issue for anyone who has carbosis or type 2 diabetes, but even if you don’t it will put you at risk. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
We are always faced with the nagging question of “What is good for me?” Well in all reality how are you supposed to know when everyday what was once good for you becomes in media spectrum not so good. You think you are eating right by eating fruits, using natural not processed sugar but with the consumption of so much of one thing natural or not, the old saying comes in ….to much of a good thing. You know the rest. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Daryl Wein offers you insight into a disease that many suffer from. He offers advice, tips and more of a look into Type 2 Diabetes or Carbosis. Within the book there is a Q&A answers to questions many of us have and some you may not have yet thought to ask. He shows you Type 2 or Carbosis does not have to mean the end, does not mean you have to make life altering decisions or miss out on things in life. For those recently diagnosed, have pre-carbosis/diabetes, this is a book to read. Things your doctor may not cover with you, things you can do to manage it, lower your blood pressure and lose weight. It all starts with eliminating foods and drinks your body can not process or break down. A wonderful book I would recommend to any who struggles with weight loss, high blood pressure or at risk or is pre-diabetic/pre-carbosis. This book is full of information to help you better yourself and that makes it alone worth check into.</div>

Hong Kong – It chronicles the vagaries of Hong Kong since 1980 to 2014, if you want to know about Hong Kong, it is the right book that will make you feel like you were actually there throughout those testing years.

Chinese traditions – It covers the most important events of the Chinese calendar for one whole year such Lunar New year, Ching Ming, Tuen Ng, Mid-autumn, Chung Yeung, Ghost festival and many more. It also tries to depict other Chinese traditions in the society which are mostly celebrated throughout Hong Kong as public holidays. </span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 20.25px; text-align: left;" /><span style="font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 20.25px; text-align: left;">3. Chan Hong had been taking care of himself since he can remember, he lived at the Kam Tin village, and his drunkard father and his gambler mother were never around. Going to the nearby school was nothing more than a formality; he was all by his own during his entire childhood and it was some sort of a miracle itself that he could still survive all in one piece. Fate had send Uncle Seven as his savior, he survived through the cruelty of the mean society under Uncle Seven’s tutelage and everything he had learned in life, he did it from Uncle Seven. After his mother’s sudden death, he was kicked out of the house by his fake uncle, and was forced to find a place and solace at Uncle Seven’s house. After Uncle Seven died, his relatives kicked him out of that house again, and he had become a homeless right before his 18 birthday. After leaving Kam Tin, we wandered off to Tokwawan, did a dozen of oddly jobs to remain alive, and eventually fulfilled his dream of becoming a police officer at the ripe age of 25. </span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 20.25px; text-align: left;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 20.25px; text-align: left;" /><span style="font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 20.25px; text-align: left;">Eddie Ko was handsome, smart and snazzy; Tsang Adele was kind, elegant and astonishingly beautiful; and the pair was the only friends Chan Hong ever had in his entire school years. They met in the high school, they were always seen together and wherever they go, inside or outside school, they always went together. If Eddie was the prince of the group, Adele was the princess and Chan Hong was, well, more or less like their loyal guard. After high school, Eddie & Adele went back to the US for university, and didn’t come back again for quite a time. But when they came back, Adele returned first and Eddie subsequently followed, it changed everything and the humdrum life of Chan Hong never remained the same again. </span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 20.25px; text-align: left;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 20.25px; text-align: left;" /><span style="font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 20.25px; text-align: left;">What he did for the sake of his friends will melt your heart, the sacrifices he had given for the wellbeing of his love will pain your soul, and the sorrows he had to suffer through in life will just make you cry for days. It is a story of pure love, friendship and sacrifice; told in both simple and moving ways all at the same time; and intended to show people the other side of life than the materialistic one that we all have here in Hong Kong nowadays. </span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 20.25px; text-align: left;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 20.25px; text-align: left;" /><span style="font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 20.25px; text-align: left;">All in all, it is a book about Hong Kong, Chinese traditions and a tearjerker. </span></i></b></li>

<b><br /></b>
<b>OLD MEN DON’T CRY; A HONG TALE OF SORROW </b>by Tim I Gurung is a look at Hong Kong and China from a perspective of the “non-elite” , your “average joe”, the “hard and working to make a better life”, this is not a book about the embellishments from a media’s perspective, a tourist, a mainlander, the westerner. This is a story that showcases the history, traditions, the trials and tribulations of the people of a country, a island once but not to distant once considered and apart of the British colony.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
It is said a writer reveals more about themselves than they intend to or want to admit, it’s a reflection of oneself, write about what you know. A writer writes about what they know, pours there heart and soul into it, but still as you read the emotions they may say they realized when writing, others surface. Intentional or not, what helps to make a good story is incorporating what you know, feeling it and being apart of it. Tim I. Gurung did just that, wrote about what he knew, experienced, poured everything into it, but also shared not only his own struggles, happiness and hardships , but a countries, a Islands, and the struggle to make it a better place, a place you want to stay and raise your family. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
A change doesn’t happen overnight, but no one place is perfect and if we care to admit it or not, we take the good for granted forgetting the humble and the not so humble origins that make it that place. To stand strong speaks volumes for the human spirit, to keep enduring and hold your head up high even when things look bleak says a lot for the people, to stand United is what encourages growth, strength, and the willingness to see the good grow.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
As you read <b>OLD MEN DON’T CRY; A HONG TALE OF SORROW</b> by Tim I. Gurung, you flip through the pages, the story takes place through the people’s eyes, through Hong Kong. Secondly you see through the eyes of the narrator, as it blends and weaves together moving through time, through the years you’re there as Hong Kong grows, see how much China plays a role in celebrations and traditions that unfold. This is not meant to be the upbeat story, it’s not meant to reflect or regurgitate information you find in any modern and history book. This takes a more personal approach, visually breath taking, just the right amount of suspense to keep the reader moving forward, with just right amount of information about the place to fall not just not under a book about tradition and culture, but a book that’s more historical than fiction. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The author uses just enough fiction to help the reader move through a story heavily based on history, personal experiences and growth and separation. If you want to read a book that takes you through the “real Hong Kong” but don’t want something that reads like a textbook or a essay that just presents the facts, this is a book I would recommend to read. I recommended to you readers who like historical fiction, to the readers who want to learn more about other cultures and traditions, to the reader who is looking for a read that’s true to itself. To the writer who feels deeply for it and to that rounded reader looking for something that presents itself from a point of view that takes a more original approach. For the people to the people, not glazed over to make you feel better, but a true and honest approach to make you feel. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
For the reader keep a box of tissues if you do get emotional over the heartfelt books, and remember to never take anything for granted .</div>
<div dir="ltr">
It’s a must read. One I recommend. But one thing to take into consideration since it’s heavily weighed on facts and experience, to you the characters must come off one dimensional but it does not lack the substance.</div>

<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13.696px;">
Once Upon A Wish; True Inspirational Stories of Make A Wish Children by Rachelle Sparks with Make-A-Wish co-founder Frank Shankwitz invites you into a world through eight families. A world of challenging moments, their greatest fears, and their unbelievable triumphs.</div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13.696px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13.696px;">
What's striking, like any story fictional or not is the beginning, how it started. For Make-A-Wish, their beginning will leave you reaching for a tissue before you even get to the families stories…but it's worth it knowing even the ending, before they were Make-A-Wish, granting one child's ‘wish’ made him act like a 7 year old boy again. Laughing, running and hopping up and down again and most of all living. His mother happy to see her son just being a boy and to be joyous again.</div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13.696px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13.696px;">
I couldn’t do each and every child's story any great a due by reviewing it like it was just another book I came across on the shelves browsing or online.</div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13.696px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13.696px;">
So let this reviewer say it takes a lot to make one self take a closer look at your own life and your own health. I read these children stories…how, when we get older, teens, 20’s, 30’s etc., we just don’t handle the experiences that comes to ones health. Strong in many ways for what these families go through,you could call their strength and resolve stoic.</div>

One thing is the story is beautifully written. It also bring such poignant stories to life as if leaping off the pages. It reminds you how delicate life really is but how also One Wish can Create a Room full of Miracles.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.25px;"><i>Set the Storyworld to Random is about storytelling and modern audiences. You need to read this book if you have an interest in where new technology is taking storytelling. The book will help you understand the context of contemporary media and new storytelling methods: transmedia, interactive, multiplatform and storyworlds. "At the heart of almost all storytelling is the simple wish to pass something on. A feeling, a thought, a goal. This is a part of the secret tackled in this new book, 'Set the Storyworld to Random.' It's a valuable window into the intricacies that have helped to create hit media products and successful international campaigns across the globe, both big and small. The book's insights go further than that, questioning where technology leads the future of storytelling, and where traditional media businesses fall short of truly connecting with modern audiences. This is a book for the perceptive, and breaks down some of the most relevant and important questions media faces today. You will explore what the audience wants, and find yourself realising how it is possible to compete against the giants."</i></span><br />

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> Have you ever wondered if there is more to a name of a company how they coined their name? In many cases for me my answer is “no, why”? Well simply the answer is no. Why is that? Well if they got your attention , got you wondering “why did they choose that name?” Got you to visit their page? Then there are times the name makes you wonder is it based off a certain phrase or word. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> For example, Krishna Scotts name for his company. Bellyfeel. Quite fitting for his approach, and work in the finer points of social media, design, marketing, actually a book that's “tried and true.” Take a step back and look at what may have drawn you to a movie,a album cover, posters, politicians, the lengths they go to get your attention. It works for a reason. . It also draws off from human emotion, plays off memories, a situation or a popular item, idea or way of thinking to come to you across multiple platforms to become a successful piece.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">For transmedia way of thinking, everyone has their own definition, or how they think it works, while others may stick to a textbook explanation. No matter how you may define it, the book works on the ideals, concept, theories of it.Krishna Scott points out the finer points I would hope on some of the facts you should already know such as each generation. It's the ones who utilize their resources and pay attention to the changing times the trends, your new audience but don’t completely weigh out your previous generations, your original audience. Keep in mind your audience I absolutely agree with.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> There’s tips and tricks that can be helpful to you but also at the same time in “Transmedia” for someone unsure how to approach or actually start it’s a more of a what not to do with some concepts, not all that have worked. It's not a how to guide more of what one has seen and experienced, has seen what works and doesn’t as well as almost does. But what may work for one does not work for all, also good tip to remember.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Man His Father Was by Pat Leonard is a historical fiction novel based heavily more on history than fiction itself. This makes it forever more the fascinating read than the average historical fiction based novels that are loosely based on facts and heavy on fiction which makes people love it but what people love more than fiction is something that will take them on the journey through the past like they were actually there themselves. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Man His Father Was By Pat Leonard does just that. It takes you on a journey through the past, weaved with some light fiction you still you get to meet some quite famous people to some so-so famous such as Obadiah Holmes, John Winthrop Jr., Philip Carteret, Lewis Morris, Benjamin Franklin, Annis Boudinot Stockton, George Washington and both Aaron Burrs (Sr. & Jr.).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you are more heavy on the fiction than the history and looking more for a story, something that is more of a “light read”, this may not be your sort of story. This does not mean quality gets compromised, that’s not the case here at all. There is three different sections the book, each it’s own tale in its own right now at the same time these characters or people do have a connection even if not obvious one since each live in different part of time, each section narrated by a family member. This novel has been meticulously researched to be sure details were correct and details of the time period, 649, in Puritan Massachusetts through 1782 in Revolutionary Pennsylvania. This is the main focus of the story.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For those who dwell into the deep pool of history you will sure enjoy, but don't forget light on fiction does not mean not it does not have its roots within. The research of this story no matter what side you lean to more, you will surely be impressed with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The times may have changed but the story may be one many read, heard about many times over and over, but for each person and for each family, each time period it’s always different. Coming up from the bottom, to wealth. What will happen afterwards? Will the family maintain it, hold the same values, lose it all, keep the wealth that their family earned? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Will history repeat itself or tragedy place? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For fiction lovers, historical fiction lovers, it's light on the story end and heavier toward facts and history. It’s 447 pages, and enjoyable, educational, a read that will bring you back. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<p><span style="font-size: 11.000000pt; font-family: 'Arial'; font-weight: 700; font-style: italic">Riveting memoir, When All Balls Drop, ready to inspire
on big screen
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'Arial'; font-weight: 700">FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – January 20, 2015 –</span><span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'Arial'; font-style: italic">When All Balls
Drop: The Upside of Losing Everything </span><span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'ArialMT'">transitions its powerful story
of survival and life change to film. Author Heidi Siefkas has
partnered with Voyage Media in Los Angeles to adapt </span><span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'ArialMT'; color: rgb(10.196080%, 10.196080%, 10.196080%)">her story of
ultimate change and recovery into a screenplay, unveiling the
upside of losing everything via film.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'ArialMT'">Released in September 2014, </span><span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'Arial'; font-style: italic">When All Balls Drop </span><span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'ArialMT'">has received rave reviews for its raw, honest
account of an life-altering, traumatic accident in New York’s Hudson River Valley, suddenly
causing Siefkas to lose everything: health, love, and career. Siefkas’ chronicle of recovery and
triumph is full of hope and humor.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'ArialMT'">Siefkas says, “</span><span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'Arial'; font-style: italic">When All Balls Drop </span><span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'ArialMT'">is relatable. It touches on many painful themes from a freak
accident and the health care system to a failed marriage and career loss. Everyone connects to
one if not more of the elements; yet enjoys the sassy humor throughout. I feel this will be the case
in its film version as well.”
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'ArialMT'">Currently, Siefkas is finishing the sequel of </span><span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'Arial'; font-style: italic">When All Balls Drop</span><span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'ArialMT'">, writing from Kauai as well as
South Florida. The second book is expected to release later this year. Likewise, the film version
of </span><span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'Arial'; font-style: italic">When All Balls Drop </span><span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'ArialMT'">is slated for late 2015 to early 2016. </span><span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'ArialMT'; color: rgb(10.196080%, 10.196080%, 10.196080%)">To learn more about Heidi Siefkas

Suddenly, life as she knew it stopped. She lost her independence. She lost her career. She watched her marriage disintegrate as she confronted a trail of devastating lies about her husband's double life. She had lost all that mattered, but she was a survivor. She fought to restore her health, repair her broken heart, and rebuild herself. Along the way, she gained clarity about her core values, ultimately coming to a deeper understanding of what it means to have it all. Through down-to-earth, short vignettes, When All Balls Drop shows us how it's possible to look up in spite of pain, deceit, and loss. Heidi's memoir -- rich with hope and humor -- inspires anyone who's had to confront tragedy and reassess their life in the wake of life-altering events.</i></span></div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b><u><br></u></b></span></div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b><u><br></u></b></span></div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><div><div><b><u style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Book Review:</u></b></div><div><i>When All Balls Drop: The Upside of Losing Everything</i></div><div><i style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><u style="font-weight: bold;">By:</u> </i></div><div><b style="font-style: italic;">Review By: Brittany Perez (</b>Oh My Bookness<b style="font-style: italic;">)</b></div></div><div><b style="font-style: italic;">Bperezbookreviews@gmail.com</b></div><div><b style="font-style: italic;">May 24,2015</b></div></div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b><u><br></u></b></span></div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">A inspirational memoir like no other...just when everything is looking bleak, dark, and their is no coming back out of it there is...how to say...a light at the end of the tunnel.
