Barack Obama created history by being the first African American President of United States; something which no one could achieve before. He laid the biggest milestone in the journey-path of African Americans, who began it in 1619 as slaves. After that it was a tireless and difficult journey towards excellence, and winning their rights. Barack proved what he announced, “Yes we can.” This slogan became a wave of Obama-mania across the United States, and a new hope surging through the nation. This book records every step of the journey of Barack Obama, right from his childhood. This book has been widely appreciated and recommended for reading in American schools, as an authentic source of modern history.

An additional section of this book records the history of the other 43 Presidents of United States. The need of this collector’s item does not get over with time; it is a book which should be in every American home, due to its timeless relevance. It remains as important 10 years later, as it is today.

“Kladno Tales” (Kladenske Povidky) is a collection of short essays taken from the views and experiences of an American high school English teacher living in the town of Kladno, a former industrial town located 20km from Prague in the Czech Republic.

He writes about local people and places as well as about his teaching experience and his relationships with the students. Kladno Tales is very entertaining light reading which gives the reader an idea of what it’s like for a man to integrate into a foreign society, become accepted as a local and after some time feel more at home in the foreign society than in the one in which he grew up.

The book is a “how to” create a community-wide awareness from a multi-cultural, interdenominational, holistic, and theological perspective for at-risk and troubled youth(s). It is based on my experiences as a Christian educator, youth counselor and pastor. Through personal witness of African-American youths, I have experienced first-hand and swallowed the bitter pill of poverty, violence, victimization and homicide.

African-American youth(s) are statistically the greatest perpetrators of crime in the communities, and the lowest academic achievers. It is my hope to create a greater community-wide awareness at a time when society will see black youth(s) beyond the playing field and look for the real role models in their respective communities such as; teachers, pastors, mothers, fathers, and grandparents. In my book, I will place greater emphasis on the role of parenting and education in influencing youth(s) to partake in activities which will hone their abilities and create positive outlooks on life. The active involvement of various organizations, schools and individuals could hasten the achievement of these goals; for unity leads to revolutionary reform.

Interpersonal violence has a dramatic impact on the health of American youth(s). Homicides, the salient and easily measured impact, account for one of every five deaths among youths, ages fifteen to twenty-four and 58 per cent of deaths among black males fifteen to nineteen. From 1985 through 1990, firearm homicide rates increased 141 per cent for all fifteen-to-nineteen year olds and nearly tripled among black males in this age group.

Positive Adolescent Choices Training (P.A.C.T.) designed specifically for African-American male and female adolescents, applies cognitive training methods in small group settings in six skill areas. Elementary school teachers (preferably), select students for participation based on social skill deficiencies, problems with aggressive behavior, or history of victimization. Training is provided twice a week in fifty minute sessions for half of the school year. PACT volunteers will facilitate the training and are aided by a high-quality video tape that demonstrates the skills in realistic situations.

Cutting edge Science on Time, Space, and Physics

Space has a speed limit! What is it? What causes it? How does it work? What is time? What causes it? What affects it? How does it work? Could there be other dimensions, and if so, are they anything like we would know or understand? What is a black hole and what happens there? Are atoms forever? Or do they too die? What propels light? Does it travel forever?

Layman Science is part one of a three part book. This will be the public’s first glimpse at a lifelong work!!!

The purpose of this book is to help you spend less time memorizing all the details you will need to do well on the CCS (Computer-based Case Simulations) questions in your exam. This exam requires significant time, energy and concentration, and the mnemonics provided in this book will allow you to remember all the steps for managing a patient’s care in an emergency room, inpatient or office setting so that you can answer questions quickly and accurately—saving your precious time and energy by helping you better manage the examination experience.

Efficiency is key to a successful examination experience, so familiarity with the USMLE CD software will be crucial. Know the normal values and their cut-off points for the most widely used lab tests and don’t type everything out in the ordering window. Inputting the first 3 to 5 letters will bring up matching terms for you to select. You can also use abbreviations, like TSH and CXR instead of thyroid stimulating hormones and chest X-ray as another way to save time when answering questions.

There may be a few cases on the exam that you have never encountered, but don’t panic; just follow the steps and manage the patient in the appropriate setting (the office or emergency room)—ordering labs, imaging and meds as you go. If you handle the patients appropriately you will be fine, even if your final diagnosis is not correct or it seems that the patient’s condition deteriorates.

The CSS portion of the exam is more about memorization than being a good doctor. Memorization of the steps you must follow to treat each patient in each case is of primary importance. The methods I have described in this book will help you master these steps so that you can execute them efficiently and, paired with diligent practice using the software provided by the USMLE, will contribute greatly to your success on the CCS questions.

Have you ever thought you were the only good driver left? That everyone else is an idiot? That there should be drive-through vending machines on the freeway? If you have, you’re not alone! This book will show conclusive proof that most people should not have a drivers’ license, a car, or breathing privileges.

Seriously, though, this is a good book for beginning drivers, or those from foreign lands, or all women, or youth, or old people. Yes, anyone can benefit from my years of observing bad drivers, especially me... if I can get you to purchase multiple copies!

Road Games will show you how to properly maneuver on the road, with sections on etiquette, types of drivers, and advanced driving techniques that will make you the ultimate know-it-all, and give you that feeling of superiority whenever you get behind the wheel!

To an American public opinion, anchored in the belief that Islam is all Arab, “Understanding Islam - The Persian Imprint” demonstrates it to be off the mark.

The truth is that Iran (the Persia of old) fractured Islam’s identity twice: causing it to be non Arab, first; and provoking its schism later.

Further, the World identifies Islamic Men of Science, and their stellar achievements, as Arab whereas, in fact, they were all Persian and Turkomen.

Memorized Multiplication Tables Replaced

Written In KEEP IT SIMPLE Format

The objective of Mitchell’s Elementary Arithmetic is to provide a self-teaching book for third thru fifth grades that will enable everyone to learn and apply Elementary Arithmetic. Mitchell’s Elementary Arithmetic features Addition and Subtraction of Positive and Negative Numbers. Multiplication and Division features Plus Adder, Doubler Adder and Doubler Subtracter replacing the use of Memorized Multiplication Tables using Addition and Subtraction.

Elementary Arithmetic is the most basic kind of mathematics. Elementary Arithmetic involves the operations of:

A. Addition, Addends or Terms = Sum or Summation
B. Subtraction, Minuend Minus Subtrahend = Difference
C. Multiplication, Multiplicand Times Multiplier = Product
D. Division, Dividend Divided By Divisor = Quotient
