He was evil personified.In the Spring of 1997, a serial killer held Nashville, Tennessee in an icy grip of terror. In February, he murdered two employees at a Captain D's restaurant. In March, he struck a McDonalds just miles away, killing three people and maiming one. In April, he kidnapped and slaughtered two Baskin-Robbins employees.They called him "The Fast Food Killer" but his real name is Paul Dennis Reid, Jr. When he was caught and sentenced to seven death sentences, yet a new chapter began in the saga of one of the most heinous serial killers in our time, and the people whose lives he cut short.The victims were reduced to being called "the victims of Paul Reid." Until now. Here, for the first time, and with the approval of the family and friends, are the stories of those innocent, young people whose lives were ended far too soon. It is also the story of how a crime ripped a city apart.

From Hardship to Hope invites us to walk into the complexities of two women's parallel universes. It is a fictionalized, shared autobiography. Some of the moments and experiences come from the authors' lives. Some do not. Ruby Blue, a pregnant, homeless, Black teen is temporarily housed with Zoe, a White, olding widow, as Covid-19 disrupts their lives.Their daily pace slows and after a stormy start, Zoe and Ruby Blue begin to build trust, sharing increasingly insightful life experiences as they stay together. Zoe knows her world through books and travel. Ruby Blue knows her world through life on the streets.At the same time, the pandemic clouds the pace of life, the Black Lives Matter movement roils out of the unrest and the inequalities-laid bare by Covid-19-showcasing differences in job prospects, educational possibilities, housing opportunities, health care access, and societal transformation. Together, the women struggle with these realities.Over time, Zoe and Ruby Blue share their defining stories. And some secrets. They talk about family differences in favorite foods, hair styles, skin care, and history. (The women have the same last name, with different spellings.) Then, carefully, yet often bluntly, they compassionately move to discussing tough topics, each from her own background. Race. Age. Gender. Poverty. Healthcare. Pregnancy. Adoption. Protesting. Policing. Incarceration. Death. Trust. Love.

A family honors their ancestors and their heritage by cooking together.It is New Year's Day and Alix and Annabelle are excited to help their Grandma Cleo make a traditional soup to celebrate the occasion. As they gather up vegetables, Grandma Cleo explains why Soup Joumou is so important to the Haitians' celebration.Grandma tells the children, that long ago, before Haiti gained its independence from France, there were many slaves in Haiti. While the free were permitted to enjoy eating Soup Joumou, they forbid the slaves from eating it. Now, those of Haitian heritage honor their ancestors who fought for freedom and the slaves who hadn't been able to eat the traditional dish which has become a symbol of their independence.Alix and Annabelle, while saddened by this story, are thrilled to invite their neighbors in their celebration. They have a great idea to share the seeds of their grandmother's joumou so that all can plant and grow their very own joumou for their traditional New Year's Day celebrations.Complete with back of the book activities, this dual language, told in English and French Creole, story provides a wonderful opportunity for all families to learn about history and other cultures and also to promote gardening to encourage nutritious cooking, healthy eating, and food sustenance.All proceeds from book and coloring book sales will benefit CEEDS4Change, a non-profit organization whose mission is to raise awareness and educate to reduce food insecurities in underserved communities.

During the Cold War, an alliance between American scientists, pharmaceutical companies, and the US military pushed the medical establishment into ethically fraught territory. Doctors and scientists at prestigious institutions were pressured to produce medical advances to compete with the perceived threats coming from the Soviet Union. In Against Their Will, authors Allen Hornblum, Judith Newman, and Gregory Dober reveal the little-known history of unethical and dangerous medical experimentation on children in the United States. Through rare interviews and the personal correspondence of renowned medical investigators, they document how children - both normal and those termed "feebleminded" - from infants to teenagers, became human research subjects in terrifying experiments. They were drafted as "volunteers" to test vaccines, doused with ringworm, subjected to electric shock, and given lobotomies. They were also fed radioactive isotopes and exposed to chemical warfare agents.This groundbreaking book shows how institutional superintendents influenced by eugenics often turned these children over to scientific researchers without a second thought. Based on years of archival work and numerous interviews with both scientific researchers and former test subjects, this is a fascinating and disturbing look at the dark underbelly of American medical history.
The issues arising from coal washery operations, particularly concerning the air environment, demand a systematic examination through a suitable computer algorithm. This algorithm should be developed based on mathematical models to quantify the impact on the air environment system. Consequently, this study aims to design and implement a computer algorithm, utilizing an appropriate contaminant transport model, to predict environmental parameters in and around coal washery complexes. The study identifies significant sources within coal washery operations and examines the pollution scenario of various industrial complexes, as well as the environmental status of nearby rivers, streams, and townships. The developed computer algorithm for predicting the dispersion of air pollutants serves as a versatile tool to address environmental issues related to air pollution. It can be considered a universal model that, with the identification of air pollution sources and estimation of their emission rates using suitable statistical models, can be applied to predict air pollution for various industries.
