What Death Revealed: A Story of Virtue, Vice and Violence
by Jonathan LashIn a tale that spans two disparate worlds within one city, this gripping novel dives deep into the divide between the glistening capital of the Free World and its neglected districts, home to 700,000 citizens mostly of color. Eight years after the assassination of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. sparked riots that shattered the city&’s core, the scars of racial fury and systemic injustice remain as evident as ever.Amid this backdrop of crime and burnt-out neighborhoods, Jimmy McFarland, an earnest young District Attorney, stumbles upon evidence of corruption tied to a six-billion-dollar Metro subway project aimed at reconnecting the city&’s fractured communities. Though clearly a matter for the FBI, McFarland embarks on a rogue investigation. In doing so, he crosses paths with Larry Williams, a black police sergeant whose rough exterior belies his own complicated relationship with justice and morality.Walking a precarious line between courage and recklessness, McFarland and Williams form an uneasy alliance. Fueled by McFarland&’s idealistic pursuit of justice and Williams&’ pragmatic understanding of its rarity, the duo confronts a daunting array of racism, corruption, and murder. As they untangle a web of powerful players who thought they were untouchable, the question remains: Can they navigate the system&’s deep-rooted flaws to achieve some measure of justice?&“With characters that you won&’t forget, an important story that keeps pages turning fast, and gritty detail that says the author knows whereof he writes, Lash&’s novel is definitely not to be missed. If he can tell a tale this good, it is a mystery why he was spending time running a premier environmental organization and being an innovative college president. First rate.&”– Gus Speth, author of Let Your Tears Water the Earth and other books.&“Jonathan Lash has given us a perfectly written, perfectly paced, and completely absorbing inside view of how prosecutors and police actually solve crimes, all set in the turbulent days in Washington following Martin Luther King&’s assassination and Nixon&’s downfall. Lash&’s tale is one of justice triumphant against great political odds, a message that many a reader will welcome today.&”– Gary Milhollin, President, Wisconsin Project on Nuclear Arms Control.&“What a great read! Jonathan Lash uses his background as a white prosecutor in Chocolate City (Washington, DC) to weave an engrossing tale of murder, corruptions, racial conflict, and love. The Black DC cop and white AUSA who are the story&’s principal heroes will stay with you, and those familiar with DC will find a bonus in the varied references to landmark shops, restaurants, and venues in the District.&”– Florence Wagman Roisman, William F. Harvey Professor of Law at Indiana University.

At these dating websites I met some sociopaths, addicts, alcoholics and also some decent men sometimes in disharmonious timings in this dating journey. After being stolen from, surviving domestic violence, and also having some great learning dating adventures, I have come to arrive in this place. I am now thriving, being in oneness, in Yoga. This writing and art memoir are a result of this journey. I am sharing my story in the form of arts and writings inspired by the teachings of Vedanta and Buddhist teachings and values.

Policy Framing Issues in the World of COVID-19
by Beryl A. RadinThis book is a somewhat unusual depiction of a difficult policy issue. It transcends almost all boundaries because of its constant change and its movement across many different participants.It was found attached to a range of policy topics, methodologies and approaches. Some of these were familiar while others seemed new. Interest in this topic was exhibited across the globe and did not appear to be delivered along with a narrow political agenda.While researchers tended to re-examine classic public policy literatures (such as those dealing with implementation, federalism and budgeting) they did so by raising unusual issues. But this was not typical since analysts are likely to emphasize similarities rather than differences in settings.

Pam's Traveling Coat Collection
by Ann BlakelyI have been crushed into suitcases and backpacks. I&’ve been snowed on and sleeted on and windblown. I&’ve climbed to heights no self-respecting coat should ever have to endure. I&’ve ridden on subways, trains, and trolleys, flown in planes, and ridden in derelict taxis. I&’ve bumped along on a donkey. I have felt like I was flying in the back of a pickup truck tearing across desert flats and dunes. I&’ve waded into rivers and oceans and across streams on slippery rocks. I have even traveled on a Navy warship clear across the Pacific Ocean and helped steer it for just a little while. I&’ve petted elephants in the wild and watched a cheetah hunt his weekly meal. I&’ve climbed towers into what seemed to be the very clouds and crossed a bridge over a waterfall so tall and wide I couldn&’t see the end or the bottom of it. And more! It&’s been a lot for a coat to do! Join me in my travels!
