Who are you really? Is your life ruled by fear, or is love the motor of your existence?Recognize your authentic self and decide who you want to be. These questions will confront you with ways of seeing your life that you may not have fully considered. By sweating your way through them, you will see the emotions behind the beliefs that motivate your sense of self, your relationships, the way you handle money, your ability to make or refuse a connection to a purpose greater than yourself. But like a trip to the desert, by exploring a new, uncluttered, terrain, they will sweat something out of you as you find your way towards the oasis.

It's a blustery December day in Springfield Massachusetts. The year - 1891. James Naismith, age 29 is a rare combination of violent rugby player and Presbyterian minister. He has his dream job as an athletic coach at the Y.M.C.A. but his boss threatens to fire him if he doesn't come up with a game to be played between the football and baseball seasons. Determined not to fail, he prays in earnest and through logic and elimination invents "a New Game" - Basketball. A few days later he sees a pretty Southern lady who just happened to invent the first football helmet and they fall in love. He keeps his job and gets the girl all in the same week! They marry and have children. In 1905, the family moves to Lawrence, Kansas so Naismith can head the Kansas University Athletic Department. There he meets Phog Allen, a superb basketball coach with a foghorn voice. Phog starts a campaign to put basketball into the Olympics. As Naismith mentors many students (among them African- American John McLendon, who later becomes the Father of Basketball Integration), he wonders who would even want to go to the Olympics. Now, it's the Depression. 1932 to be exact, and Joe Fortenberry at 21 years old, wants to play in the Olympics more than anything. Phog Allen protege, Gene Johnson, discovers Joe and hires him to play for the Globe Refiners with the goal of going to the Hitler Olympics in 1936. In preparation, at a Madison Square Garden game in 1936, the world sees the fast break, the zone press and for the first time Joe Fortenberry unveils his own invention - the Slam Dunk! The Refiners join with the Hollywood Universals and they become the first U.S.A. Olympic basketball team. After much controversy and many obstacles, they arrive in Berlin to win. However, the rules are changed, the ball is a balloon beach ball and the game is going to be played outdoors in rainy weather! Their uniforms are stolen and other countries want to eliminate all players over 6'2". Still America perseveres. In the thrilling last game, it's pouring rain and even though the court is a mudpit, America wins 19-8 with Joe as the high scorer. The next day is sunny and beautiful for the awards ceremony. Naismith presents the first Olympic Gold Medal for Basketball to the U.S.A. team. "The happiest day of my life". Indeed, James Naismith made "the world a little better than he found it".

Profits benefit the Rotary International Foundation & the Fairfield Suisun Rotary Foundation.Just across the eastern hills from Napa Valley sits the bountiful Suisun Valley. It adjoins the robust and diverse city of Fairfield. While less prosperous than its neighbor, it balances by huge community involvement and commitment to protect and nurture its population, especially youth. It is here where three precious, and someday very well known, babies are born within hours of one another - Katie Gonzalez, Taylor Turner and Leon Phillips. As teenagers, they meet in a serendipitous way and over time, become unlikely but lifelong friends. Katie is a first generation American, from a loving and hardworking Hispanic family. Growing up, even with the high expectations from her mother and her Rotary mentor, attorney Betty Lam, all were eclipsed once fifteen year old Katie discovered her passion. With extraordinary determination and God given talent, her debate skills became unsurpassed, particularly on the topic of senseless gun violence. Seared by personal experiences and those of close friends, she could and would, go "toe to toe" with anyone on the importance of sensible gun laws. She will become a life force on the cause.Loss of his mother from gun violence followed by foster care disasters, threatens to break Taylor's spirit and future. With a thread of hope, a worn teddy bear and an unwavering social worker, can the black ten year old child open his heart yet again? The red front door opens to him and Taylor recognizes the tall blue-eyed man who is smiling warmly before him...his hero from a trauma months before. Stability and love, along with homemade chocolate chip cookies, await him inside with fireman, Tom, and his wife, Jenny. Will this lead to the life his community hopes for him?Leon is tall and lanky with distinctive red hair, like his dad's. At twelve, he had a jump shot that made the high school basketball coach salivate. Emotionally fragile, he is making progress towards a stable life thanks to a caring father, his doting grandma and PAL (local Police Activities League) where he learns to box. The Phillips Gun Range, still owned by his grandma, is where he learns to shoot...and he loves the feel of a gun, even more than his basketball. Then it happens. His world crumbles. His community rallies, as do his friends. But, will it be enough to save him - to save those who are the cause of his tragedy?All three characters are bound together by devastation caused by needless gun violence. How does a community, service groups like Rotary, public entities, non-profits succeed- all with earnest goals to help people, to keep them safe - when there is an endless number of guns flowing into the hands of anyone who wants them? The point of the book is a grandmother's desperate effort to humanize and yes, make it personal to all who profit from the scourge of assault rifles in the hands of vulnerable people.

In the constant state of chaos and uncertainty that President Trump delights in creating, one thing is certain, it would be disastrous if he serves another term. Everyone is worse off with Trump--women, men, all ethnicities, farmers, industrialists, steelworkers, coal miners--everyone, except Trump. It's time for change. Kelly Hyman, attorney, Democratic strategist, and popular speaker has created a practical, accessible, and enlightening quick reference guide to the top ten reasons to dump Trump in 2020, including: He lies about everything--immigration, air quality, the economy, the weather. He's worked tirelessly to undermine fundamental human rights. He believes he's "the chosen one," and as such, what's good for Trump is good for the country, if not the universe. He and his administration have sought to roll back key climate regulations at every turn. He withheld aid to Ukraine to compel them to investigate Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden. Trump doesn't follow or believe in the Rule of Law. He debases it with his cheating, lying, ignoring legal requests, and publicly denigrating judges. And while he may be impeached for his actions, he won't be convicted. Reading this book will heighten your awareness of the issues, help you become crystal clear about why Trump must not serve another term, and provide voting resources to get you--and others--to the polls to vote. Vote, vote, vote!

As the founder of the Holistic Counseling Center in Raynham and Plymouth Massachusetts, I talk with people every day who are struggling. A full ninety percent of the patients who seek out my services are so stressed it's taking a toll on their health--they're experiencing lack of sleep, irritability, anxiety, and even actual medical conditions such as cardiovascular illness, autoimmune diseases, infertility, digestive issues, diabetes, and migraines, I was inspired to pursue a career in holistic counseling after spending 10 days in the ICU with a perilously high heart rate of over 300 beats per minute while working in a stressful corporate job. When surgery and medication failed to stabilize my condition, I began to study and to treat myself with acupuncture, yoga, meditation, prayer, nutrition, and metaphysics. Your Body Knows How to Heal walks readers through the exact system I use to help the patients I see in my clinic. And I am living proof this works!

"Examines how we as a culture treat our elder citizens as they continue life's journey.

This book provides information on the nursing home industry from an insider's perspective, ... models of care, and the need for grassroots advocacy and a national conversation on how we care for our elder citizens"--

Unlike many individuals who enter medicine, it was not something I contemplated from the beginning. I wanted to be a scientist...until I became disillusioned with that enterprise. Currently I'm a physician executive recently retired. Following medical school, I trained in Internal Medicine and Emergency Medicine. It's the latter that I practiced clinically.Through an exploration of great thinkers and philosophers, coupled with my own interactions with patients and colleagues, I've come to understand that medicine is a social, moral, philosophical, and existential enterprise, of which science is only one aspect.I respect science, but don't worship it. Science is about facts that can be tested; philosophy and the humanities are about ideas that can be imagined, and stories that can be told. Through the presentation of philosophical and normative issues, elucidated through stories, my goal in writing this book is to inspire tomorrow's physicians, medical ethicists, and other healers and thinkers to reject the roles we've been assigned, become more authentic in our everyday lives, and transcend the inadequacy of science through imagination and improvisation.This is how the Soul of Medicine will be restored.

Electric power and the evolution of utilities fueled the growth of industrialization and the incredible innovation of the 20th century by allowing companies to focus on what they where best at rather than the generation and management of power. That’s exactly what’s happening today as an almost unimaginable abundance of data is moving into the cloud where it will fuel the revolution in artificial intelligence and machine learning. However, most people are still using an industrial age lens, built on the economics of scarcity, to view the opportunities that the cloud creates for a future of limitless data; it’s the equivalent of trying to compete using waterwheels to power a modern factory. The Bottomless Cloud challenges the scarcity-driven mindset by taking a hard look at how industrial age business models are failing us by regarding data as a commodity and a cost that needs to be constrained, rather than an near infinite resource that can be mined to build entirely new sources of value and insight. From Uber, to Nike, to Netflix, The Bottomless Cloud is defining the tenets of success in the 21st Century by changing the way we view data, from being a byproduct of business to a foundational driver of radically new business models. On the heels of his Amazon bestselling book Revealing The Invisible, 11 time author Tom Koulopoulos has teamed up with his long time colleague and serial entrepreneur David Friend to provide business leaders with a clear and straightforward understanding of the incredible power of the cloud and data abundance; it’s an entirely new way to think about the value and the role of data in building tomorrow’s enterprise.Written in a way that is easy to follow, The Bottomless Cloud provides a compelling vision of a future in which data abundance will alter nearly every aspect of how we live, work, and play.

Most books focus on specific illnesses or conditions such as survivors of stroke, head or spinal injuries, dementia and Alzheimer's, or parenting an or disabled child.

This book pinpoints the needs and strategies of this population.

You may think, with this book's title, it's about being calm and cool in the face of pressure. It's actually quite the opposite and more literal. My body actually stopped sweating. This was one of a variety of unusual health issues I faced, partially or wholly brought on by stress. And I had to learn how to get my body to sweat again naturally as no pill or prescription was going to help me. My solution to this and other issues were going to come from within. With people becoming more aware about stress and its incredible health impacts, many of us have found that we can pay a hefty price if we ignore or don't acknowledge it. And I believe it frequently goes undiagnosed in the medical community. This book is about my journey, one I think many of you can relate to. This is not about what I've overcome. It's about what I've learned in the hope it can help others. In this book I will share you with my journey and the key lessons I've learned along the way.
