Losing a beloved pet was traumatic for JD Pickens and his daughter Sarah. What made matters worse was when Sarah took a liking to a boy, one Pickens didn't know. Pickens wasn't ready for Sarah to date because he feared losing his little girl's heart. It created a chasm in their father-daughter relationship. When Sarah and her boyfriend witnessed a dog beaten and tossed in a truck, they followed it until the truck turned onto a dirt road. Sarah had called the incident to Deputy Billy Thompson and asked him to run the license plate. Billy agreed but asked her not to follow the truck, and they decided not to follow it. The rift between Pickens and Sarah widened when Pickens solicited the boyfriend's help locating the dirt road without telling Sarah. He agreed even though it got him in trouble with Sarah. After he pointed out the road, Billy contacted a member of his drone club and had her launch a drone to do aerial surveillance of the road. The aerial surveillance revealed a compound with trucks and cages at the end of the road. Using the drone, Pickens and his team descended upon the compound only to discover the trucks were gone and the cages were empty, except for one. That cage had a malnourished dog chained up with no food or water and left to perish. With animal control as part of Pickens's team, animal control rushed the dog to the shelter. Pickens hoped the dog would survive and he might adopt it. Unfortunately, the dog died, which angered Pickens. After Sarah's boyfriend took her fishing, Pickens attempted to bridge the chasm between them by offering to take her fishing, but Sarah thought Pickens was trying to drive a wedge between her and her boyfriend. Pickens assured Sarah he was only trying to bridge the gap between them, and Sarah eventually relented and agreed to go. The event ended up being a relationship mender, but Pickens kept a secret from Sarah. Ultimately, the secret was revealed when they visited Pickens's parents, creating another rift between Pickens and Sarah. With the help of Pickens's mother, Pickens escaped Sarah's wrath, and their bond remained intact. Angry over the death of the emaciated dog, Pickens vowed to track down the men who caged it along with other dogs at the compound. Billy came up with the name of one of the men, thanks to prints from the compound. But Pickens still couldn't locate where the men were hiding, but a stroke of luck led Pickens to a remote farmhouse. After Sarah mentioned that she and her boyfriend were going on a helicopter ride, Pickens asked her to get the pilot's name, so he could enlist the help of the pilot to descend upon the farmhouse and arrest the dognappers. Sarah agreed, and Pickens contacted the pilot and paid for his service by flying Pickens and a small team to the farmhouse. Once again, Pickens was days too late and found the dognappers dead, but a fingerprint left at the scene revealed another name, but it became difficult to locate the person. Although Pickens was disappointed about the dead bodies, they happened upon a female dog and her litter. The dogs were taken to the shelter and cared for, and the veterinarian discovered a chip in the mother. Pickens attempted to locate its owner. Unfortunately, he found the owner dead in his trailer. Pickens decided he'd take the dogs if no one wanted. First, he had to locate any relatives of their former owner. Pickens discovered a son-in-law of the dogs' former owner, but he didn't want the dogs, so they became available for adoption. Pickens still had to locate the killer, but it proved difficult, as though he was a ghost. A twenty-year-old mug shot of the man led to Amy contacting the Jacksonville law enforcement agencies, but they were no help, and the case went cold.

Why This Book? Why Now?The control of the earth's climate, including the temperature of the earth's surface and near earth atmosphere, is a complex, intricate, and beautiful system of interactions between a number of forces. These controlling factors, their interactions, and the rate and extent of those interactions, are all variables which contribute to the control of the earth's climate, including its surface temperature.I first became aware of the "Theory of Global Warming" in the late 1980's when I first found the document: (Hansen, J.E., and S. Lebedeff, 1987: Global trends of measured surface air temperature. J. Geophys. Res., 92;13345-13372). As a fruit grower during my youth; A professional horticultural researcher who had worked on different methods of frost control in fruit crops, and in basic research in those areas as well as related subjects; I was acutely aware of the greenhouse effect, its causes, and importance in the control of earth's surface temperature. The temperature of plant tissues, under various climatic circumstances has been something that has intrigued me and been a subject of my research for over 50 years.The small, but significant, increase in the earth's surface temperature, over the last 110 years has been attributed to slight increases in the concentration of carbon dioxide, methane, and other minor greenhouse gasses. The danger to the world's societies, of our present course, the result of attributing all the warming of earth's surface to the greenhouse impact of these minor greenhouse gasses, is real and alarming. If we utilize most of our available resources in limiting or decreasing the concentration of these minor greenhouse gasses, we will not have the resources required to deal with the real impacts of the major forces behind the warming of earth's surface, should they continue or increase. In this work you will be exposed to the truth about the flaws and fails of the global warming/climate change theory. You will read about, and see peer reviewed research that establishes the impacts of:A. The three forces which have increased the intensity of the sunlight reaching and warming the earth's surface.B. The role of the LaNina/ElNino cycle and the North Atlantic Oscillation in causing a major portion of the ice volume loss in, and warming of, the Arctic.C. The role of increasing levels of heat from the earth's core in causing significant ice volume and extent losses, across the Arctic and Antarctic.D. Changes in the amount of water vapor, liquid and ice in the atmosphere over long periods of time, and this forces contribution to changes in climatic patterns and earth's surface temperature.You will also be exposed to the climatic impacts of the increasing aerosol concentration in the atmosphere. The above listed causes of changes in the earth's surface temperature have all been mistakenly attributed to the greenhouse effect of the minor greenhouse gasses because of the basic Fatal Fails of the "Global Warming/Climate Change Theory". These Fatal Fails are identified and discussed in this work.

Have you ever thought about what it would look like to take care of your body with God, His way and for His glory? Our bodies do matter. The problem is that so often we make our bodies the main thing when they are simply meant to help us do the main thing, which is to love God and love others.For so long I took care of my body as though I was the owner of it rather than as the steward of it. I got stuck in either idolizing my body or neglecting it all together. My health was a tangled mess and the enemy tried to convince me it was hopeless. But God gently drew near to me and whispered, "I can untangle it if you let Me." I let Him and He did. Are you ready to let Him? Are you ready to learn and live His way?This book is for:- The friend who obsesses about their body, neglects it, or is anywhere in between!- The friend who is ready to surrender this area of their life to Christ.- The friend who wants to be both strong in their spirit and healthy in body.- The friend who feels they've been given a "problem body," so why bother?- The friend who wants to learn how to steward their health with God, His way and for His glory.Friend, you can steward your body with joy, peace and as an extension of your worship. I am cheering you on as you say "yes" to discovering why God's way is not only greater but is ultimately the Way.

In this book, Dr. Davis discusses how leaders experience many failures over their careers and create false narratives about themselves. Because of this narrative that has been formed on the inside, it becomes very difficult for leaders to create and maintain a positive school or office climate. Through personal reflections and concrete examples from his 32 years in public education, Dr. Davis shares his research on 15 leadership characteristics that promote psychological safety in the workplace. When leaders demonstrate these characteristics on a regular basis, they are modeling leadership maturity - a phrase coined by Dr. Davis as a leader who understands that every action impacts the culture of the people they lead. Leadership maturity is ultimately about modeling a comfort for your purpose rather than a validation of your title.

I used to think I would never be able to run a marathon as 26.2 miles was an impossible distance. When I envisioned marathon runners, they were a separate category of humans. Occasionally though, just for a moment, I would imagine how great it would feel to cross that finish line. What an accomplishment! Just as quickly as the thought entered, I would laugh and shake it out. Nope, not possible.Just like that, it went into storage; a place in the back of my mind I call the impossible box because once a dream was closed inside I wouldn't even try. It would sit there next to the other things I thought I could never do or the goals I would accomplish someday. Can you relate? If you do, this book is for you. Not just inspirational, it explains methodologies to enact behavior changes to help you dream big, set goals, and follow through. By the time you get to the end of this book you will have the tools and motivation you need to succeed.Throw out your impossible box. Take the steps that will move you in the direction you want to go and don't stop until you get there.

Editorial cartoonist Paul Jamiol's fifth book of political cartoons focuses on the hope that Biden brings after all the pandemic falsehoods, the bogus election lies, the attempted coup by a clear loser, and the vile hatred swirling around Trump's last year in office. Jamiol records, with his pen, visually and vigorously, the changes that came about from 2020-2022 with a selection of over 200 cartoons from that period.Jamiol doggedly stands for the truth and hates revisionists. "While there are many who continue to deceive and stand alongside ruthless dictators and charlatans, I believe truth and justice must prevail and must continue for our kids and their future." His previous books were about taking to task those who do everything in their power to revise the truth on serious events and issues that affect all Americans. This collection of his editorial cartoons stays on that same pathway.This book isn't meant to change minds or perceptions. It will lay out Jamiol's views on the world around us and you will be engrossed by his imagination, passion, fearlessness, and integrity. It targets readers interested in politics, issues, a cartoonist's take on the world, or who are just curious about our changing political landscape. Visual commentary can highlight an issue more clearly than the written word.

As a citizen of the world, I shared in the upheaval of the Covid-19 pandemic. More to the point, I watched my young grandson as he went through the many changes that were thrust on us all. Back in 2020 when the lockdowns began, Matrim was four years old. I soon realized, that he was just as sad, confused and scared as the rest of us, but unlike us, he lacked the words to describe what his feelings were and where they came from. It was then that I wrote a poem called "STUPID COVID". The poem has now been turned into a book whose purpose is to allow parents and young children to start conversations about the different feelings brought on by the pandemic. Then, most importantly, we learn how we can regain some control over our lives by following healthy habits such as proper hand washing and masking when necessary, as well as the role of vaccines in freeing us from the grip of STUPID COVID.

On November 4, 2018, the women in a "football moms'" slumber party in Cumming, Georgia woke up to a traumatizing sight: Their friend, Tamla Horsford, lay dead in the backyard, her body covered in scrapes and bruises.The first autopsy reported that Tamla had fallen from the balcony and broken her neck. The women had been drinking all night, making Tamla's death seem like a case-closed accident. But the family disagreed and requested an independent autopsy.It's been revealed that not all the details were reported to the public: There weren't only women at the party, there were four men, too. The medical examiner from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, while originally claiming the broken neck was the fatal injury, has now recanted this statement. The lead investigator on the case even referred to himself as "racist cracker bastard murder covering up land."Search for the Truth brings to light all the disturbing statements of the partygoers, Tamla's family, and her friends, and the terrifying storm of racism and miscalculations (purposeful or accidental) that led to Tamla's death. Written by Michelle Graves, a close friend of Tamla, and filled with alarming new details, this is a story of what happens when a black woman, a loving wife, mother of five, and true friend, falls victim to the racism of South-and how this has let a killer get away with taking a life.
