Florence

By: Jason A. Clark,Craig P. Della Penna

In 1852, the community that began as Broughton's Meadow officially became the Village of Florence. This small, New England community prospered with the rise of the silk industry and its businesses, such as the Northampton Silk Company, the Nonotuck Silk Company, and Corticelli Silk Mills. Local mills and factories manufactured goods that were shipped around the world while local shops and storefronts continued to grow and change the face of the village. The population expanded due to the success of companies like the Florence Casket Company and Florence Savings, which created more jobs. By the turn of the 20th century, Florence was well established with over 3,500 residents. The community had several churches, a modern schoolhouse, the Lilly Library, a thriving business center, and its own trolley line, which ran to and from Northampton. Florence provides a look at the residents, businesses, and organizations that came to shape the life of this community.

The Scaberrain Recueil

Book I: Dark Revolutions

By: Jason Bowen

Jeb Renquist and Rade Rennix are two completely different people. Jeb is a disgruntled professor at a local university on Earth, drinking away his problems, butting heads with other staff members, and having unprofessional relationships with some of his students. Jeb is all alone in an unbearable existence and wants to end it all. Rade, on the other hand, is a top-notch pilot on a planet called Scaberrain. He is well-respected by his colleagues, loved by his adoptive father and brother, and in love with an incredible woman. His life seems almost perfect, and he could not be happier. So why do they have such vivid dreams about each other? Rade is found unconscious after disappearing for months, but he has no memory of what happened to him before his capture by the Bektarrians. His boss is skeptical, his father is worried, and his girlfriend is just happy he's alive. Rade once again tries to prove his abilities and loyalty, but his CO has doubts. To make matters worse, a memory retrieval process ends up with more questions than answers. Rade pushes everything else to the back of his mind and throws himself into his work and personal life. Rade and his squadron are selected to work with an elite group of fighters to embark on a top-secret operation. While on the mission, Rade is notified of a devastating attack on his home base. Life will never be the same for anyone. Follow Rade as he fights the monstrous Bektarrians, rekindles his romance with Slace, the love of his life, and tries to live up to the high expectations as the Black Shock.

Mixed Martial Arts and the Law

Disputes, Suits and Legal Issues

By: Jason J. Cruz

Barbaric. Savage. Violent. Words often used by critics to describe the sport of mixed martial arts. To this can be added lucrative, popular and flourishing. MMA has seen astronomical growth since the 2000s, spurred on by its biggest promotion, the Ultimate Fighting Championships (UFC). Along the way, legal issues have plagued the sport. This book provides an overview of the most important cases and controversies arising both inside and outside of the cage--antitrust suits by fighters against promoters, fighters suing other fighters, drug testing, contractual issues, and the need for federal regulation.

Reconsidering Intellectual Disability

Reconsidering Intellectual Disability

L'Arche, Medical Ethics, and Christian Friendship

By: Jason Reimer Greig

Drawing on the controversial case of “Ashley X,” a girl with severe developmental disabilities who received interventionist medical treatment to limit her growth and keep her body forever small—a procedure now known as the “Ashley Treatment”—Reconsidering Intellectual Disability explores important questions at the intersection of disability theory, Christian moral theology, and bioethics. What are the biomedical boundaries of acceptable treatment for those not able to give informed consent? Who gets to decide when a patient cannot communicate their desires and needs? Should we accept the dominance of a form of medicine that identifies those with intellectual impairments as pathological objects in need of the normalizing bodily manipulations of technological medicine? In a critical exploration of contemporary disability theory, Jason Reimer Greig contends that L'Arche, a federation of faith communities made up of people with and without intellectual disabilities, provides an alternative response to the predominant bioethical worldview that sees disability as a problem to be solved. Reconsidering Intellectual Disability shows how a focus on Christian theological tradition’s moral thinking and practice of friendship with God offers a way to free not only people with intellectual disabilities but all people from the objectifying gaze of modern medicine. L'Arche draws inspiration from Jesus's solidarity with the "least of these" and a commitment to Christian friendship that sees people with profound cognitive disabilities not as anomalous objects of pity but as fellow friends of God. This vital act of social recognition opens the way to understanding the disabled not as objects to be fixed but as teachers whose lives can transform others and open a new way of being human.

Adaptive Compensation of Nonlinear Actuators for Flight Control Applications

By: Dipankar Deb,Jason Burkholder,Gang Tao

This book provides a basic understanding of adaptive control and its applications in Flight control. It discusses the designing of an adaptive feedback control system and analyzes this for flight control of linear and nonlinear aircraft models using synthetic jet actuators. It also discusses control methodologies and the application of control techniques which will help practicing flight control and active flow control researchers. It also covers modelling and control designs which will also benefit researchers from the background of fluid mechanics and health management of actuation systems. The unique feature of this book is characterization of synthetic jet actuator nonlinearities over a wide range of angles of attack, an adaptive compensation scheme for such nonlinearities, and a systematic framework for feedback control of aircraft dynamics with synthetic jet actuators.

The Bathrobe Millionaire

Confessions of an Unemployable Job-Hopper Who Made a Fortune Without Work, Risk, Or Khakis

By: Jason Yelowitz

The role of instant millionaire is an elusive status often written and fantasized about but rarely achieved. In The Bathrobe Millionaire, author Jason Yelowitz tells his personal story of how he got rich overnight and realized his dream of swapping the corporate life for one of financial and emotional freedom. Peppered with humor, this memoir provides insights into the hazards and rewards of start-up businesses. Yelowitz shares his mistakes as an entrepreneur and the lessons learned, and he reveals his secret to financial success. He dispenses counterintuitive advice about what it takes to earn a lot of money and demonstrates these essential points: You shouldn't fall in love with your own business idea. Work and pay don't need to be derived from the same activity. It's best not to tell people about the business you're starting. Every start-up business should have a stop loss. It's better to start a business with less money rather than more. The concept of quit early, quit often makes sense. You should start a business alone, even if you need a partner. In The Bathrobe Millionaire, Yelowitz proves that the laws of business sometimes defy gravity.

City of a Million Dreams

City of a Million Dreams

A History of New Orleans at Year 300

By: Jason Berry

In 2015, the beautiful jazz funeral in New Orleans for composer Allen Toussaint coincided with a debate over removing four Confederate monuments. Mayor Mitch Landrieu led the ceremony, attended by living legends of jazz, music aficionados, politicians, and everyday people. The scene captured the history and culture of the city in microcosm--a city legendary for its noisy, complicated, tradition-rich splendor. In City of a Million Dreams, Jason Berry delivers a character-driven history of New Orleans at its tricentennial. Chronicling cycles of invention, struggle, death, and rebirth, Berry reveals the city's survival as a triumph of diversity, its map-of-the-world neighborhoods marked by resilience despite hurricanes, epidemics, fires, and floods. Berry orchestrates a parade of vibrant personalities, from the founder Bienville, a warrior emblazoned with snake tattoos; to Governor William C. C. Claiborne, General Andrew Jackson, and Pere Antoine, an influential priest and secret agent of the Inquisition; Sister Gertrude Morgan, a street evangelist and visionary artist of the 1960s; and Michael White, the famous clarinetist who remade his life after losing everything in Hurricane Katrina. The textured profiles of this extraordinary cast furnish a dramatic narrative of the beloved city, famous the world over for mysterious rituals as people dance when they bury their dead.

The Mound Builder Myth

Fake History and the Hunt for a "Lost White Race"

By: Jason Colavito

Say you found that a few dozen people, operating at the highest levels of society, conspired to create a false ancient history of the American continent to promote a religious, white-supremacist agenda in the service of supposedly patriotic ideals. Would you call it fake news? In nineteenth-century America, this was in fact a powerful truth that shaped Manifest Destiny. The Mound Builder Myth is the first book to chronicle the attempt to recast the Native American burial mounds as the work of a lost white race of “true” native Americans. Thomas Jefferson’s pioneering archaeology concluded that the earthen mounds were the work of Native Americans. In the 1894 report of the Bureau of American Ethnology, Cyrus Thomas concurred, drawing on two decades of research. But in the century in between, the lie took hold, with Presidents Andrew Jackson, William Henry Harrison, and Abraham Lincoln adding their approval and the Mormon Church among those benefiting. Jason Colavito traces this monumental deception from the farthest reaches of the frontier to the halls of Congress, mapping a century-long conspiracy to fabricate and promote a false ancient history—and enumerating its devastating consequences for contemporary Native people. Built upon primary sources and first-person accounts, the story that The Mound Builder Myth tells is a forgotten chapter of American history—but one that reads like the Da Vinci Code as it plays out at the upper reaches of government, religion, and science. And as far-fetched as it now might seem that a lost white race once ruled prehistoric America, the damage done by this “ancient” myth has clear echoes in today’s arguments over white nationalism, multiculturalism, “alternative facts,” and the role of science and the control of knowledge in public life.

Nights of Fury

By: Jason Fury

Homo! Queer! Fag! Freak! Pervert! I heard the names. I looked at my enemies. I yawned. Little did my tormentors know I was long immuned to being singled out for violent verbal and physical abuse. My mother had conditioned me well. This monster began her reign of terror over me when I was only three. Yet, she and the thugs that followed were dismayed to discover that here was one flamboyant freak who didn't crumble or hide away in a closet. By my freshman year in college in l962, I was already married to the handsome, college rebel, Billy Dragon. He was the first of a long line of sexy, complex, straight men who would make my life heaven and hell for the next fifty years. Strippers, convicts, preachers, priests, Wall Street moguls and wrestlers. I knew them all until September 11, 2001. On that date, I watched the love of my life, Police Officer Devereaux, race into the Twin Towers where he perished before my eyes.
