Every American feeling anxious, concerned, and frightened about the COVID pandemic will benefit from reading Pandemic Blunder: Fauci and Public Health Blocked Early Home COVID Treatment. This book will help everyone protect their health by becoming better informed about medicines for preventing and curing the COVID infection. Pandemic Blunder is the first book to explain in detail how and why the federal government failed to do what medicine has always done: promote and support the earliest medical treatment that people can use in their home. Missing from current government actions is the early home/outpatient treatment for COVID that keeps people out of hospitals. The result was a pandemic blunder of massive proportions.Pandemic Blunder contains considerable medical information and data to support a number of proven safe, cheap generic medicines and protocols that knock out the coronavirus when given early. Read about the pioneering, courageous doctors who have been using innovative approaches to prevent their COVID patients from needing hospital care and facing death. The book includes many expert opinions from doctors who support the view that 70 to 80 percent of COVID deaths - many hundreds of thousands - could have been prevented. Don't be victimized by disinformation and propaganda from mainstream media. Learn how corrupt forces are aiming to make billions of dollars from expensive medicines and vaccines, and how hundreds of thousands of deaths could have-and should have-been prevented!Dr. Joel S. Hirschhorn has decades of experience working on health issues and is a member of the two medical organizations most active in advocating for early home COVID treatment, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, and America's Frontline Doctors. He wrote Pandemic Blunder to stop the blundering. It is not too late. We can prevent more deaths from COVID.

When Joan Ringelheim began to write, she had no intention of becoming personal. Since she is a philosopher by training, she kept thinking solely of intellectual essays. Then she read Mary Karr's The Art of Memoir and realized that the ideas about which she wanted to write were not separate from the experiences in her life and that she had to be transparent about what they meant. She could no longer keep the personal and intellectual separated as she had meant to do. The six essays in this book cover the parts of her life that were crucial in her struggle to meet the strange and the familiar: music and the piano, teaching, the Holocaust and women in the Holocaust, oral history, a trip to Sarajevo after the siege, and breast cancer.

In the first edition of this book, I began by saying that my purpose was not to write a typical municipal history. That still stands. Too often such studies are little more than exercises in boosterism. Instead, I wanted this account to be critical. Most people think the word means something negative or censorious, but it doesn't have to. In my estimation, the preferred synonymous for being critical are evaluating, explaining, interpreting, and expounding. This necessarily entails revealing both the light and the darkness in researching the history of Stockton or any other subject for that matter. In her new history of the United States, We Hold These Truths (2018), Harvard historian Jill Lepore insists that history is "not merely a form of memory but also a form of investigation, to be disputed, like philosophy, its premises questioned, its evidence examined, its arguments countered." She goes on to say that history requires "subjecting the past to skepticism, to look to beginnings and not to justify ends, but to question them-with evidence." The task of the historian is therefore not to be deferential and compliant but to be curious and skeptical. I try to be so in this revised edition.To be frank, I have still found more disreputable persons and disquieting events in the city's past than I had expected to. It was if, as I wrote earlier, I walked into a dense forest, came upon a moss-covered log, and kicked it over for no apparent reason, only to find numerous bugs, worms, spiders, centipedes, and other crawling critters underneath. I suppose that all cities have a seamy side to their history (friends from elsewhere have assured me of that) and that Stockton is not exceptional in that regard. In any event, I have decided not to conceal any of the city's numerous scandals, pathologies, shady characters, and missed opportunities. This is even more the case in this second edition than in the first. Responding to my commitment to reveal both the light and darkness in Stockton's history, a Stocktonian who read the new preface rightly reminded me, "As most natives of Stockton we know this city is not perfect. But we are diverse, critical of ourselves and still love what we see. No one or nowhere is perfect."In this new version I have more fully examined the mental illness of Charles M. Weber, the founder of the city of Stockton. In assessing his psychological problems, I have drawn material from a provocative paper written in 2011 by Russell Livingston, a docent at the San Joaquin County Historical Museum in Lodi on "A Forensic Analysis and Etiological Speculation Concerning the Behavior of Charles Weber." I have also included a new section on the tragic and mysterious death of his son, Thomas Jefferson Weber, from a total nervous collapse or something even worse. The historical record changes over time, as we ask new questions of the past in light of pressing current concerns. Historians call this process revisionism. In the first edition of this book, I devoted a significant section to the Great Influenza of 1918-1919. However, given the dimensions and repercussions of the current Covid-19 pandemic, I have more than tripled the size of my earlier treatment of the so-called Spanish Flu to see if we can learn valuable lessons from that earlier catastrophe, which killed more than 50 million people around the world. In general, I have explored in greater detail in this new version the impact of various diseases such as malaria, yellow fever, cholera, and typhoid on the history of Stockton and its leaders and its people.

Kevin Fodor has gone by many "on air names" in his nearly 50 year broadcasting career. Currently on air at WHIO AM-FM/WHKO-FM and WZLR-FM in Dayton, Ohio, but has worked in large and small towns in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. He has also been heard doing shows or interviews on stations in Florida, Georgia and other states, and has even been a contributing reporter to radio news networks such as ABC Radio, Fox News Radio, The National Black Network, the BBC and others. He is also a broadcast educator, working at the International College of Broadcasting in Dayton, Ohio where he is a substitute radio instructor, has built and programs an internet radio station (Radio ICB) which broadcasts to the world and runs and programs a low powered FM operation at Indian Lake, Ohio. And here's what people who know him, say about him: I first met Kevin Fodor 50 years ago when, as a high school student, he came out to nightly remote broadcasts I was hosting for WAVI Radio. He has gone from voluntarily helping set up and tear down broadcast equipment back then to over-achieving almost every goal he would have had back then. Kevin has done it all, while leading, mentoring and inspiring many, many others. His wisdom and creative brilliance are all on display in these pages. I know you'll love getting to know my friend, Kevin Fodor thanks to this enlightening and inspiring book. -Jaye Albright, Retired Broadcasting Consultant for Albright, O'Malley and Brenner Broadcasting Consultants. Kevin is one of the best friends a radio transmitter ever had...and one of the best weapons a radio programmer can have in his arsenal. He not only KNOWS but LOVES the business of radio and always shows up with 100% to give (no matter what the task) to get the job done. I don't believe there's a job inside a radio station that Kevin hasn't tackled in his long radio career - whether or not he actually held a particular job title. That alone should make this an interesting read. He's dedicated to a fault because he is passionate about the business. I'm positive that somewhere there's a marriage certificate that proves he's been married to radio all these years. -Former "in the trenches" co-worker and occasional boss - Rob Ellis, Vice President/Owner AQ Productions. Rowdy (Kevin Fodor) is part of a rare species of broadcasters. He grew up enchanted by legendary Top 40 stations like CKLW, then went on to build a successful radio career for himself and has survived by being versatile enough to handle diverse formats on multiple stations. Can't wait to read this book! -Bob Moody, former Country Programming Format Leader for Nationwide Communications and former on air talent at CKLW/Detroit-Windsor (known as "The Big 8"). Working "in the radio biz" for 43 plus years, I've had the pleasure to cross paths and work with Kevin many times. The one word that comes to mind is "versatility". He truly is a "jack of all trades" when it comes to radio. Even in his role as a broadcast instructor, Kevin brings a depth of experience and perspective that is priceless. -Tommy Collins, Radio Department Head, International College of Broadcasting; Dayton, Ohio. Kevin's long career in Broadcasting created some great stories that anyone who has ever worked in radio can relate to. Kevin has been part of broadcasting dynasties in Ohio and has a unique perspective unlike any other. -Nick Roberts, Radio Vice President and Marketing Director for Cox Media Group, Dayton, Ohio.

Have you ever thought about the love of God? The Holy Bible teaches us about the love of God as the motivator for His actions. At What Cost? examines the love of God and how He gave His son Jesus to die for the sins of the world. This book addresses the cost paid by our Lord for the great gifts given to humanity. Bishop Eric A. Lambert, Jr., has served the body of Christ as a pastor for over thirty years. He wrote At What Cost? A Gripping Examination of the Price for Redemption to dig deep into the heart of God to try to understand why He reaches out to us so often. Based in Scripture, At What Cost? is a discovery of why the Lord loves us, why the Lord opens His heart, and the pain He feels when His children do not respond to His love. What did it cost the Lord to do the things He did for us? At What Cost? helps readers think about the price the Lord paid to have a fruitful relationship with His children. As we learn more about the heart of God, we should no longer take God's gifts for granted.

African-American Influencer, Justin Longor discovers the family secret that his grandmother once dated Donald J. Trump back in the 1970's. It then becomes Justin's imperative mission to interview and interrogate his grandmother to find out if this is why Mr. Trump has been such an asshole towards people of color, and Black women in particular. Their breakup would explain a whole helluva lot. Justin also seeks to heal the ill-will between the maternal and paternal sides of his family. Haitian and Gullah.

Mike Lucas was born in 1906 in a small coal mining town in northeastern Pennsylvania. His father was killed in a coal mining accident when he was seven years old. He lived with his mother and older brother Lukey that worked in the coal breaker for $2.80 a day, and he was the sole support of the family. When Mike was in second grade, he got a job after school at a shirt factory cleaning up. They Struggled for several years, when in 1918 the flu virus hit and killed over 700,000 people in the US. During the flu, Mike was a good Samaritan, helping the sick. He then quit school when he was 12 years old and went to work to help his mother pay the bills. When Mike was 13, he was working down in a mine shaft and the elevator operator took him and his boss up over the top of a 100-foot-high had frame. At the last second Mike leapt off and grabbed onto an upright beam and his boss fell to his death. Years later Mike was working in another mine that flooded with water, and five of his fellow minors drowned, Mike was the only one that survived. Several of the miners hung the rude arrogant mine boss that caused their death. For years after that, the boss's ghost could be seen along the road where he was hung. In the 1930s the Ku Klux Klan was very active, and Mike and his friends ran them out of town. During the depression all of the men were out of work, so they dug their own coal mine. The coal barons claimed they own the land and had their own police force shoot many the miners to run them off of the land. Mike and his brothers were the first ones to stand up to the coal and iron cops. Mike was one of the best boxers in the country and was scheduled for the heavyweight boxing championship of the world. he was known as iron Mike. In 1925 Mike played football for the Pottsville maroons, who won the first National Football League championship. Mike had his own coal mine and struck a vein of coal that was a gold mine. A greedy coal Baron that had several crooked politicians and a judge in bed with him, made a deal with the Department of mines, where they could go and steal Mike's coal. While Mike was working in the mines, he had several brushes with death.

If you have looked at others and secretly wished you were as comfortable in your skin as they appear to be in theirs. If you want to unmask, discover the real you, and live a life of purposeful meaning. This book is for you! Ephesians 5:14-17 (Amplified Bible) 14 For this reason He says, "Awake, sleeper, And arise from the dead, And Christ will shine [as dawn] upon you and give you light." 15 Therefore see that you walk carefully [living life with honor, purpose, and courage; shunning those who tolerate and enable evil], not as the unwise, but as wise [sensible, intelligent, discerning people], 16 [a]making the very most of your time [on earth, recognizing and taking advantage of each opportunity and using it with wisdom and diligence], because the days are [filled with] evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish and thoughtless, but understand and firmly grasp what the will of the Lord is.

My son, Mark Ostrander, was a vibrant and popular young man. In Osage, Iowa, high school, he was on the honor roll, and lettered in track, wrestling, and football. He was Homecoming King, loved to ski, and played drums in the Osage Precisionnaires Drum and Bugle Corp. He won many dance contests and went to Hollywood to compete on Deney Terrio's "Dance Fever" when he was just 18. In college, he was named to the North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC) Dean's List and named to the cast for the production of M-A-S-H. He danced in the Community Theatre Production of '"Oklahoma." In May, he graduated with honors from NIACC when he received his Associate Degree in Science. In October of the following year, he enrolled in the University of Iowa to pursue Dentistry. When Mark was 21, he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and his journey through life became a disaster at every turn. In and out of mental hospitals, he persevered and managed to pop back up with each setback. In 1988, at age 28, he graduated from Control Data Institute in Dallas, Texas, with a 96.1 GPA and received his Computer Technology degree. He had such high aspirations, but with every step forward there were always two steps back. At age 34, Mark was left disabled after he attempted to take his life. The 22 years that followed were filled with amazing determination and dedication by Mark, his family, and his friends as he recovered from his injuries. After spending many months in hospitals and rehabilitation facilities in Texas, his options for a place to live were reduced to nursing homes. Outrageous errors, oversights and neglect were widespread in the nursing homes where Mark resided. The absence of training among nursing home personnel was not unusual and the staff members' horrendous lack of judgment led to unsafe circumstances. Poor communication between administration and staff resulted in dangerous situations and unsanitary practices promoted the spread of disease. In order to prevent mistakes from being made and to avert negligent care, it was extremely important that I closely monitored Mark's stay in each nursing home. He was often exposed to illegal practices like "dumping," unwarranted discharge, and retaliation. I learned what to expect from the nursing homes and wasn't afraid to ask questions. Mark's phenomenal determination to succeed and my constant vigilance were important factors which helped Mark achieve many steps toward his recovery. Mark loved his music and his computer, and toward the end of his rehabilitation, he had made great strides in his physical and mental recovery, despite having had to tolerate the many nursing home nightmares.

For many, the term "family" refers to those with whom they share a blood relation. For others, close friends can also qualify. For Ryan Collins, who is in the midst of the biggest life change he's undergone as he begins his career as a teacher, his complicated relationship with his parents and lack of close friends that live in his area leave him a little lost. "Blood and Water", the first in a new series, follows the first few months of Ryan's first year as a teacher. He manages to make a few new friends, some of which become something of a family for him. However, after attempts from his parents to reconnect after some time away complicate things, he's left wondering if his recent happiness in his chosen family is worth risking by allowing his blood back into his life. Ryan's story, from start to finish, highlights struggles that many people deal with, including anxiety, depression, alcoholism, abuse, family problems, and others. As with everything, what happens to Ryan doesn't define who he is, but how he reacts to them, how he chooses to move forward, does.

She Flies is a novel about a young girl who decides to try for a place among the clouds. She wanted to fly. There were many hurdles to jump, hills to climb, obstacles to work around, and pitfalls or traps to either avoid or climb out of. It wasn't the easiest course to choose for a life's work, but it was worth it to be among the clouds. At times it felt like Don Quixote tilting at windmills, but Don Quixote reminds us of the importance of honor and the fight for right, even in the face of nay-sayers and those that don't believe. This is the story of a girl that would fly, working around the obstacles, striving for excellence, and ignoring all who didn't believe.

In 55 years of teaching in both high school and college, I've always wondered why American history is presented the way it is. History texts try to cover the big picture and students never get an understanding of our wars - how they are the eyes and memory of the veterans who fought the battles in the big campaigns described by their textbook. I went to a writing seminar conducted by the celebrated Civil War historian Shelby Foote and he was gracious as Southern gentlemen are who smoke pipes and drink coffee with total strangers who also are represented by a pipe and a gray beard. In a single sentence he gave me my direction, "Don't write a whole new history of the campaigns. In this day, concentrate on the personal memory of the men who fought the battles face to face." That statement became what guided me. I started what has become a cyber odyssey of historical archives for photos, letters, and personal reflections. Many friendly fingers of Civil War buffs pointed to dusty courthouses where letters were kept, and gradually I built up the details found in this book. I wrote it because of late we have demonized the Confederate cause because of slavery. There is no argument that the Civil War was over slavery. Slavery was part of the American-cloth since we declared our independence. The heart of the South was Agriculture. The heart of the North was mills, railroads and mechanization. One brother used slaves who were Black to work the fields; the other brother used children in the breaker chute and bobbin mill. Neither could be called a righteous undertaking. So when the expansion of slavery came to a head with appeals for new territories to join the Union and Lincoln's election to President the War was on. If we don't come to an understanding we are all brothers and sisters in this union, then all of our toil at reconciliation will have been for nothing, and the ideal of being one free nation under God will become only dust under our bare feet as me march to destroy what generations have fought to defend.
