Yet there are many unanswered questions related to the psychological treatment and interventions developed for those who have served in the Armed Forces as well as the reduction and prevention of the completion of suicide in this community. The current statistics state that twenty-two veterans a day die from suicide (Department of Veterans Affairs 2017). This body of work is dedicated to the impact that war can pose on those who have served in the Armed Forces and aims to shine a light on the impact that moral injury can pose.

Anyone who has dated on the internet knows it doesn't come with an instruction manual. If it did, there would be some better behavior while trying to present oneself as likable. Stephanie Baswell became a regular on the internet dating scene after pressing the reset button on her life. She started over in a new state, and her hilarious journey lifts the veil on the lack of humility and desperate behavior that comes with cyber searching for a potential match.

Stephanie Baswell, a.k.a. Spazwell or Spaz for short, was excited about trying to navigate a new life in Tennessee her way. She's funny, unpredictable, geographically challenged, animated, and terrible at making decisions. All those characteristics combined make up her genuine charm and unique personality. She's the life of the party, a great friend to many, and an enemy of none (who are worth mentioning). She also holds a forgotten old record for the longest keg stand in a college she still owes money to. While that may be impressive to some, it was not setting her dating life up for success. As she sailed through this experiment, she left a few dates on the side of the road both literally and figuratively, and she was always just one mustard-eating redneck away from another relationship misfire. This story takes you through the scenic route of internet dating and the many different culture shocks that come with flipping your life upside down.

He found many forgotten blessings spread all throughout his years that led to particular advantages compared to many others he knows, such as dancing, singing, love of music, artistry, reading, writing, strong imagination, hard work, and a generous, friendly nature. Appreciation for designs of all kinds led to the collecting of just about everything. Cars, boats, wood, iron, metal--you name it, he collected it. His parents taught him to organize well so he could find what he was looking for quickly and easily.Good looks, good health, good fitness are all essential for a good life. His parents taught him everything from refinishing furniture to the importance of going to church, to painting a truck. His father taught him the appreciation of boats. He has a collection of wooden boats now, and people say it is the largest and nicest collection in the entire country. For eight months now, he has studied his life to write this book, and the life he has lived is just amazing. Now Howard is looking forward to sharing the stories of his life with all his readers in hopes to capture your imagination of what his life was really like.

This book is from the view of a coach, trainer, and an umpire. There is a lot of work to be done on how youth sports are handled. It seems we have lost the real reason we have our kids get involved--for the fun of it. The fun has been replaced with stress and the pressure to be perfect. This book has opinions and examples of what can be learned from sports. Maybe a parent or a coach see themselves in the book, good or bad. And maybe, one step at a time, we can start to change the culture in youth sports.It is a different world that the kids have to deal with today. Peer pressure, academic pressure, family pressure, and self-imposed pressure. The one place that should be a safe haven is whatever sport they choose to play and have fun. But, sometimes, adults take that away.The chapters in this book relate in some way to most all of us. "Why Stress Them Out" (mistakes do happen at all levels, and it is okay); "Be a Teacher First" (if you are a good teacher, coaching becomes easier); "This Is Their Time" (adults' actions should not take away from the kids' joy); "Learn from the Game" (respect, commitment, work ethic, passion, fair competition); "Help Them Succeed" (don't ask them to do what they are not ready for); "Let Them Be Their Best" (today's best might not be the same as yesterday's best, but it was their best today). Ability is what you are capable of; motivation determines what you do; attitude determines how you will do it.

The idea behind Cooking beyond Measure is to simplify cooking in a whole. Less ingredients lessen time and preparation. Ultimately, you'll have more time with family and loved ones. I absolutely enjoy being in my kitchen. My oldest granddaughter, Elle, says I spend most of the day in there. Honestly, I choose to be there. It is truly my sanctuary, my peace, and my space for time to think, create, and strategize what's next (whether it be laundry, homework, etc.).Cooking was a God-given gift to me; it truly came naturally since before I was a teenager. Good food, love, and fellowship is what we all need more of in this life. My advice is to always taste your food while preparing. If it doesn't taste good to you, it won't taste good to them!--Chef Sylvia
