The art of fairy tales is to see the adventure in your imagination. Cat Tales teaches acceptance on your journey. It grabs a fable and shows the heart of understanding. When a parable is read, each story will give a lesson and a memory to kids one book at a time. As a child, I heard these tales from my parents. They told them to us sitting in our family room. Listening to the words being read, I'd imagined the characters and how I would feel if ever I was the same. I hope you enjoy the adventures as much as I did.

What does your child want to be when they grow up? A doctor? Engineer? A Pilot? Business Owner? Whatever their dreams are, they will need to solve lots of word problems on their journey to a career. The skills that they develop while solving those problems will be valuable in whatever career they choose. This book is a "two for the price of one" educational tool! Your student will develop their reading skills (analysis and comprehension) as well as the math skills needed to solve real-life problems. Many students have the mathematical skills needed to solve equations using basic arithmetic operations. The challenges that this book addresses are the strategies and skills needed to read, understand, and analyze a word problem and to then formulate a mathematical equation that accurately represents the problem. The word problems in this book are based on realistic situations in business, marketing, transportation, and healthcare to make them relevant to the student. This book is designed to be used with guidance from a parent or tutor as the student works from simpler arithmetic problems to more complex problems involving basic algebra and geometry for grades 1-10. There are four important strategies used to analyze and solve word problems: 1. Read carefully and slowly to understand the question. 2. Recognize and underline the key words and important numbers. 3. Recognize and disregard information that is not pertinent to solving the problem. 4. Identify the math operations needed to solve the problem. Section 2 of the book includes a step-by-step solution to each problem that students should use to check their strategies and their results. Section 3 lists the correct answers to each problem for quick reference.

I was nineteen when I prayed for guidance in the library. I found myself walking to the philosophy stacks where I saw a faded green clothbound tome published in 1901, Cosmic Consciousness by R. M. Bucke. I thank heaven every day for that invaluable work of faith.

Will she succumb to the turntables of the streets or make her way out of her depressing small city?

During the 1950s, the great migration from the South led many Black families to the city of Chicago. As African American families took up residency all around the city, the talent in the Chicago Public League's high schools took a huge leap. Many of the schools that were previously predominantly White became Black. Neighborhoods throughout the city changed as well. Many White families moved to suburban areas outside of Chicago.Since that time, basketball has created thousands of scholarship opportunities for Black student athletes, including myself. My version of the Top 100 Players of All Time will not only be similar to many but also different from what other writers would put together. The arguments about who belongs will always be present when the conversation centers on Chicago high school basketball.My story is something I hope will be educational and inspirational to others who take the path I took as an inner-city resident who put in the extra effort in the classroom, on the court, and in the community to find success. I am a student of the human condition, wielding the written craft to enrapture the mind much like an artist wields a brush. The pages are a blank canvas on which to draw from a talent heralded by many but matched only by an imagination that rises to the task and delivers positivity.

In these days, it is hard to remember a time more than a half-century ago when scientists were gods, honored and trusted both to defend and heal us, creating ultimate weapons as well as the polio vaccine. We took our shots because we trusted the experts. We trusted them to test atomic weapons, aboveground at first, because we weren't aware of cancers among the "downwinders" and knew that the US was in a weapons race. This book is the inside story of kiloton to megaton atomic weapons being exploded three hundred miles above the earth in secret programs that most people still don't know about, to see what would happen to communications and radar in an atomic war.Even in the very first atomic test, they were playing with unknown consequences at a time when the "computers" were women running Marchant mechanical calculators. It is also the story of these same scientists, beginning fifty years ago, turning their efforts toward making power from controlled fusion to get us away from dependence on oil and using their unique positions and knowledge to set up arms control agreements.Claude Phipps takes us on a very personal visit with two of the central characters, Dr. Ray Kidder and Nicolas Christofilos of the Livermore Labs, at the beginning of this change of direction. As he says, "It seemed to me that the closer someone's work was to nuclear weapons, the bigger the ego. Along with the big egos, scientific isolation, and tremendous power, which characterized the national defense establishment went tales of recklessness." But so did heroism. His point is that human gods have human foibles. We learn more about this aspect in the third chapter of this book.1

Following a mining disaster in March of 1962, the small coal town of Starksburg and the area population had to reshape their lives. The coal mine was sealed, and an entire town was left with little. So this is a story about the dispersion of people throughout the eastern United States.One person can make a tremendous difference in tragedy, and that person was Lucy Blackburn, a special teacher at the local high school. The book follows the resilience of a few families. It follows them as they deal with the aftermath of this tragedy. This book tells us about those people and includes some of the history of the mining and railroad industry in the southern mountains of the Appalachian region.The historical aspects of this book of fiction are approximations about the development of the coal industry, the railroad industry, period news, and the Vietnam conflict.Lucy Blackburn and her dad are self-appointed guidance counselors and mentors for some of the characters of the bituminous coal mining area around Bluefield, Virginia, and Bluefield, West Virginia, because the state line runs through the town, splitting it between the town limits.Some of the settings in the story are real, and some of the towns, cities, and counties names have been changed for literary purposes. Starksburg is not a real town on the West Virginia and Virginia border. In total, anything about the town of Starksburg is fiction.

I wrote this cookbook mostly out of necessity, as I drive a semi and I needed a way to cook in the truck to save money and time. During the pandemic, when everything got locked down, the truck stops closed the restaurants, which left truck drivers to eat in fast-food places. Being a diabetic, I knew I couldn't eat in those places, so that led me to design a cookbook for truck drivers to follow simple recipes that could be cooked in a semi. The recipes take only thirty minutes and taste good. As I started this cookbook, I was able to control my diabetes a lot better and lower my A1C. With this cookbook, I'm hoping that other drivers like me can benefit from the recipes that I have designed.

A year and a half of adventure, battle, love, and betrayal has all come down to this final encounter. The GM is playing epic music. The pizza is going cold, and you can hear a ceremonial slurp of soda before every dice roll. Your character was raised by a great wizard of a father and a priest-like sage of a mother. You grew up around books and magic, yet because you picked up a sword, spells have been forever blocked from your path. Why? Because your class just doesn't work that way. Too bad you can't use that life-saving scroll your party has kept in your bag all campaign.Time to throw off the shackles! Journeys: Role-Playing Game is designed to be balanced, filled with options, and yet nothing about your character's life choices prevents him from trying something new. In this system, the character's journey is truly yours. Your every action will determine how you grow. Want to cast magic? Everyone starts somewhere. It may blow up in your face, but you will have learned something about how to not make the magical mistake again. Want to be warrior? Then you better start picking up some steel and training with it over some poor monster's skull.The rules of Journeys provide your GM with a strong referee system to make the world solidly realistic yet open enough to be wildly fantastic. When you create your character, you may start as anything you can image. No combination of skills is beyond the light of the rules here. But choose carefully what you decide to specialize in, because changing your mind later will mean having to work from ground zero on up. Your journey starts here.
