They say Luigi always ran barefoot. And they speak of his greatest challenge--the race nobody thought he could win, not even Luigi himself. Maybe it's urban legend, or maybe the true events have acquired added luster in Dan Paley's memory. After all, a story this amazing couldn't possibly be true, could it? Suffused with nostalgia for soft summer evenings in a city neighborhood, with kids playing in the street, neighbors visiting, twilight seeming like it would never end.... A tall tale that kids will never tire of. Aaron Boyd's colorful illustrations vividly recreate an urban Philadelphia street and its houses, shops, and memorable people. Fountas & Pinnell Level M
But one day while making deliveries, they collided on a street corner. Rubio’s cheeses and Julienne’s fruits flew skyward and fell on their heads, creating spontaneous juicy pairings that they couldn’t help but taste. The forbidden combinations were out of this world. Nothing could ever be the same. Fortunately for Rubio and Julienne, their forbidden adventures end more happily than Romeo and Juliette’s, though not before our heroes overcome a few obstacles and accidents, one of which prompts a mortified Rubio to exclaim, “What cheese through yonder window breaks?” A backmatter menu of child friendly delicious fruit-cheese combinations augments the story.

The story of how a Catholic nun became one of the twentieth century's most significant artists and activists is brought to life in a colorful picture book biography. "To be fully alive is to work for the common good." --Corita Kent Frances Kent always loved making things. When she joined the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, she took the name Corita--meaning little heart--and devoted her life to what mattered most to her: art and religion. As an art teacher, Sister Corita emphasized practice and process over the final product and taught her students to experiment and break the rules. As a religious person, she turned her faith into concrete action and spoke out about the injustices she saw in the world. In the height of post-war consumerist culture, Corita, a contemporary of Andy Warhol, turned advertising on its head and wrote a new kind of scripture. Complimented by Victoria Tentler-Krylov's vibrant illustrations that--like Corita's work--incorporate typography and ads, author Dan Paley paints a portrait of the little-known but immensely influential pop-art nun whose messages are just as relevant today as they were in years past.

The bane of this century is processed food, transfats, and saccharides. Obesity, cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's, ADHD in children, and so many other ailments are plaguing humanity today. To counter the ill effects of the present age, a variety of diets are in vogue. This book is going to take an in-depth look at a trending new age diet - The Paleo Diet. The Paleo Diet is believed to be the diet followed by our ancestors in the Stone Age. It primarily consists of meat, fish, fruits, berries, and tubers, sans the dairy products, cereals and the processed food. It was Dr. Boyd Eaton's paper "Paleolithic Nutrition: A Consideration of its Nature and Current Implications" that brought to the fore the health implications of this caveman diet to modern society. I have referred to stalwarts like Dr. Loren Cordain, who has contributed significantly in the field of evolution and diet. This book will attempt to give you an understanding of following a food plan that ensures that your body is not ingesting and digesting food that is laden with carcinogenic additives and preservatives. This book attempts to provide a brief introduction to Paleo diet before plunging into the strengths of the various Paleo ingredients. In the course of the book you will be surprised to find that several delectable dishes can be made from Paleo ingredients. I will also briefly touch on how exercise and Paleo diet can go hand in hand and how muscle building is so possible when following this caveman diet. Hopefully, on this journey you can become an ardent Paleo follower and progress towards a fitter, healthier and happier you.
First Edition: LukivPress (Victoria, BC), 2021. An excerpt yellow leaves, in trees by the sea-w i g g l i n g The author Dan Lukiv is a poet, novelist, columnist, short story and article writer, and independent education researcher (hermeneutic phenomenology).

Dan Davin, Rhodes scholar, for many years Academic Publisher at the Clarendon Press in Oxford, and one of New Zealand's acknowledged masters of the short story, was born in Invercargill in 1914. The Gorse Blooms Pale gathers together twenty-six stories and a selection of poems reflecting his experiences while growing up in an Irish-New Zealand farming family in Southland. Comic, haunting, poetic, profound and lyrical, the stories have a regional flavour quite unlike any other body of work in New Zealand literature. They insightfully capture the character of an idiosyncratic rural community, its post-British social relationships and tribulations, with a flair equal to such other New Zealand writers as Sargeson, Frame, Middleton or Marshall. When The Gorse Blooms Pale is a rare treasure in the landscape of twentieth-century New Zealand literature.
City Slickers Need Not ApplyDan McClintock swapped out his cushy corporate job in Dallas for a rundown spread in Rascal, Texas-banking everything on making his dream of running a dude ranch come true. Too bad he's in over his head until one cute, petite cowgirl shows up to apply for a position as a ranch hand. Tough-as-nails, farrier Raleigh Travers is tired of being turned down for jobs because she's young, female and decidedly height challenged. She's got a kid brother to feed and she needs work and she's not about to take "no" for answer. But what she doesn't count on is the sexy cowboy who agrees to give her a chance...and his heart.
As you get to know DAN the character of the early American woman will become evident. She grew up in a time after the Civil War that required women to carry responsibility and knowledge to manage survival for herself and those she loved. DAN is a story of commitment and raw determination to overcome whatever obstacle that had to be eliminated. Because of her deep love for those who had been buffeted about through each day of their lives, most every problem became a mere circumstance for her to solve, because she had the ability to do whatever was required.
Dan thinks he wants to be a rancher; his father wants him to enroll in a university. He has been granted a year's stay at his godparents' Wyoming ranch to learn what ranching involves. He came to stay with them in early summer. Now he must go thru a winter in the high country, a test even for those from New York state. Receiving a horse of his own -a young pinto that he names Toby- he finds additional complications: Toby may be blind, he needs training, and his ownership is in question. There are times when work must be done, Dan learns, at a ranch or anywhere, even if a person is tired. He appreciates the beauty of nature and also learns more of its difficulties. During a time of being snowed-in when he is alone, Dan must draw on his own resourcefulness. A thread running thru this story is Dan's belief in a God to sustain him. This subject is written so that those of various faiths can relate to it without feeling pressured or excluded..

Whether they’re on the baseball field or in Nate’s basement devouring the newest issue of their favorite comic book, Dan and Nate are always talking. Until they’re not. After an accident at baseball practice, Nate’s fallen into a coma. And if Dan ever wants to talk to Nate again, he’s got to take a page out of his hero Captain Nexus’s book, and do whatever it takes to save the day.

Ge, formerly translated as "mask" or "masquerade," appears among the Dan people of Côte d'Ivoire as a dancing and musical embodiment of their social ideals and religious beliefs. In Dan Ge Performance, Daniel B. Reed sets out to discover what resides at the core of Ge. He finds that Ge is defined as part of a religious system, a form of entertainment, an industry, a political tool, an instrument of justice, and a form of resistance—and it can take on multiple roles simultaneously. He sees genu (pl.) dancing the latest dance steps, co-opting popular music, and acting in concert with Ivorian authorities to combat sorcery. Not only are the bounds of traditional performance stretched, but Ge performance becomes a strategy for helping the Dan to establish individual and community identity in a world that is becoming more religiously and ethnically diverse. Readers interested in all aspects of expressive culture in West Africa will find fascinating material in this rich and penetrating book.

It presents a hundred works to showcase an artistic career trajectory that has been both broad-ranging and consistent over four decades. Jane Livingston sets Rizzie’s work in context with an introduction that traces his artistic influences and production from his formative years in Egypt, Jordan, Jamaica, India, and Texas to his mature work created in New York. An extensive interview between Rizzie and editor Terrie Sultan further explores his artistic journey and creative philosophy, while Mark Smith highlights Rizzie’s development and importance as a printmaker. Praising Rizzie’s achievements across painting, collage, and printmaking, as well as the innovative ways in which he often blends these media, Smith proclaims that Rizzie’s art “is ‘decorative’ in the very best way, in that it possesses a timeless beauty. And it is, above all, authentically his own.”
