School and My Bully Experience : Frank Joseph Minichetti
Three (3) million students are bullied each year! Have you or someone you know ever been bullied?
If “YES”, School and My Bully Experience, a new anti-bullying book, is the perfect read for anyone in need of guidance.
School and My Bully Experience, a new book about combating bullying by author Frank Joseph Minichetti, blends delightful stories with helpful tips for middle schoolers and young adults who may feel like they are alone or afraid and are in need of help.
In this tale inspired by the author’s personal experience, thirteen-year-old Joseph Minnow, a good-natured and timid boy, is picked on by two mean-spirited classmates Butch Barotti and Xavier Steele, alias Xman.
He also has an unexpected bully—his eighth-grade teacher, the dreaded Sister Superior, who has earned herself the not-so-secret nickname, TNT. Just when Joseph thinks he’s escaped them by graduating eighth grade, he faces new challenges in high school. There is a new wave of bullies, and not all of them have a happy ending.
School and My Bully Experience strikes the right balance of acknowledging bullying as a serious subject in the book’s good-humored stories. The quirky characteristics of the people that are part of Joseph’s journey will resonate with young readers going through a similar experience.
The book addresses important topics such as “Why People Bully” and “What To Do If You Become a Victim.” The combination of Joseph’s moving journey coupled with detailed help for those being bullied is what makes School and My Bully Experience entertaining, informative, and unique amongst books written on this subject.
School and My Bully Experience is a chapter book written for ages 9-13, and for the young at heart who want to help themselves or someone they know rise above the personal struggle of being bullied.

The Golden Toilet : Steve Brown
The last thing you need to invest in is yet another website rebuild. In fact, that fancy website of yours is nothing more than a beautiful, brand new, solid-gold toilet.
If you’re not convinced, at least be honest: how much have you spent on your website, thinking that this time you’ll get the right design that will send the value of your business skyrocketing? It didn’t move the needle, did it? That’s because your website is The Golden Toilet, and you’ve flushed far too much money into it without a clear plan for growth.
Let’s get real: in the same way that every house needs a toilet, we only need a website so that we have a place to do our business. But a website alone isn’t enough. It takes other complementary systems to create the holistic experience that customers expect (and reward).
In this no-nonsense growth primer, Steve Brown delivers the inspiration and clarity you need to build the proper pipelines that will actually grow your business while your competitors continue to gild and rebuild their most utilitarian asset.
Many business owners waste their money on flashy marketing tactics that don’t provide a real ROI.
The Golden Toilet transforms proven marketing principles into simple, practical tools entrepreneurs can use to connect with customers, build their online presence, and grow their business.

Mickey Mantle’s Last Home Run : Steven A. Falco
TJ and Jonathan are teenage friends and teammates on the JV baseball team. Like many young people growing up in America in the late sixties, they have heroes. For TJ, who is white, it is Mickey Mantle, the aging star of the New York Yankees. For Jonathan, who is black, it is Martin Luther King Jr., the leader of the civil rights movement. Unfortunately, 1968 is a bad year for heroes and—America.
Their friendship is strained to the breaking point when Martin Luther King Jr. is assassinated. Jonathan, who is devastated by the murder, blames all white people, TJ included. TJ then has to struggle through the challenges of the JV baseball season in his racially-torn town, without the support of his friend. Is there anything that can repair their broken bond? Would it take still another American tragedy?
Combining the heartbreak and hilarity of teenage life in that tumultuous year, this coming-of-age novel provides a perspective from which to understand the racial issues that still prevail in our country to this day. In doing so, Mickey Mantle’s Last Home Run appeals not only to young adult readers but also to their baby-boomer parents and grandparents.

MIRI: The Story : Viorel Valcu
A science-fiction novelette exploring a post-apocalyptic scenario within a cosmic environment.
Set in the early 2000s the first part introduces the main hero, during a day of his life, unlike any other. Opening up in a familiar context while detailing some of his friends as well as the common routines of a stereotypical workplace, his reality is thoroughly shaken by noon, thrust into a world that exists on the other side of the law.
Barely escaping his captors, Moe is treated by the Police in a less comforting way and succeeds in breaking free yet again. Since the entire story is devoid of his thoughts, or maybe the narrator is shockingly unprofessional, the main hero gets hooked onto more daring escapes from places he chose to be in, himself.
It is somewhere along the way that he meets an unusual friend, partly to blame for his future failures, who helps him out eventually to become better at, surviving the day. Trying to figure out the causes of his misfortunes and also clear his name, they roam the city, meet people and, escape.
But everything goes wrong until he wakes up in a spaceship. Oh wait: that’s much worse, because he doesn’t remember anything of the last … 150 years.

What’s Wrong With My Body Now? : Jill Wolff
My discoveries and insights may help if you, or someone you care about, has a hyperactive immune system, allergies or IBS, or an illness resulting from abuse. Lifelong Autoimmune reactions made me feel like I always had some degree of the flu, along with its overall achy pain and fatigue. Doctors wouldn’t help me because it was much easier for them to say that “it’s just in your head.”
Since a magic pill wasn’t available, I found tools that I could use to actively manage the reactions’ effect on my life and to make this body as comfortable as is possible. The book includes chapters about Autoimmune and allergic reactions, using food as medicine for IBS, essential oils, cold therapy, medical marijuana, PTSD, and dog allergies. It also has a Resources chapter with links to supplemental information and personal stories from people with similar experiences.
Our technology is impressive, but it’s making the planet toxic for our bodies. My immune reactions have included a mini-stroke and a heart arrhythmia episode with a near-death experience, which is described in the book. As we are all exposed to higher levels of chemical toxicity, those of us with sensitive immune systems are experiencing illnesses that could be a harbinger for people with healthy bodies.
