The Emmy Award-winning legal journalist and co-host of The View Sunny Hostin chronicles her journey from growing up in a South Bronx housing project to becoming an assistant U.S. attorney and journalist in this powerful memoir that offers an intimate and unique look at identity, intolerance, and injustice. “What are you?” has followed Sunny Hostin from the beginning of her story, as she grew up half Puerto Rican and half African-American raised by teenage parents in the South Bronx. Escaping poverty and the turbulence of her early life through hard work, a bit of luck and earning academic scholarships to college and law school, Sunny immersed herself in the workings of the criminal justice system. In Washington, D.C., Sunny became a federal prosecutor, soon parlaying her wealth of knowledge of the legal system into a successful career as a legal journalist. She was one of the first national reporters to cover Trayvon Martin’s death—which her producers erroneously labeled “just a local story.” Today, an inescapable voice from the top echelons of news and entertainment, Sunny uses her platform to advocate for social justice and give a voice to the marginalized. In her signature no-holds-barred, straight-up style, Sunny opens up and shares her intimate struggles with fertility and personal turmoil, and reflects on the high-stakes cases and stories she worked on as a prosecutor and during her time at CNN, Fox News, ABC and The View. Timely, poignant, and moving, I Am These Truths is the story of a woman living between two worlds, and learning to bridge them together to fight for what’s right.

New York Times Bestseller! The View cohost and New York Times bestselling author Sunny Hostin dazzles with this brilliant novel about a life-changing summer along the beaches of Martha's Vineyard. Welcome to Oak Bluffs, the most exclusive Black beach community in the country. Known for its gingerbread Victorian-style houses and modern architectural marvels, this picturesque town hugging the sea is a mecca for the crème de la crème of Black society—where Michelle and Barack Obama vacation and Meghan Markle has shopped for a house for her mom. Black people have lived in this pretty slip of the Vineyard since the 1600s and began buying property in the 1800s, making this posh town the embodiment of “old money.” Thirty years ago, Amelia Vaux Tanner and her husband built a house high on the bluffs, a cottage they named Chateau Laveau. For decades, “Ama” played host to American presidents, Wall Street titans, and cultural icons. But her favorite guests have always been her three “goddaughters:” Esperanza “Perry” Soto, a beautiful, talented Afro-Latina lawyer with Ama’s strong, yet guarded personality; Olivia Jones, a gifted Wall Street analyst with Ama’s brilliant, logical mind; and Billie Hayden, a gifted marine biologist and rule-breaker with Ama’s courageous free spirit. Growing up, these three goddaughters from different backgrounds came together each summer at Chateau Laveau. As adults, the cottage is a place this trio of successful yet very different women go to escape, to slow down from their hectic lives, share private time with Ama, and enjoy the gorgeous weather, cool water, and stunning views Oak Bluffs offers. This summer on the Bluffs, however, will be different. An era is ending: Ama, now nearing seventy-one, is moving to the south of France to reunite with her college sweetheart. She has invited Perry, Olivia, and Billie to spend one last golden summer together with her the way they did when they were kids. And when fall comes, she is going to give the house to one of them. Each of the women wants the house desperately. Each is grappling with a secret she fears will hurt her and her chances. By the end of summer, old ties will fray, new bonds will be created, and these three found sisters will discover they aren’t the only ones with something to hide. Ama has a few secrets of her own. What she has to give them is far more than property. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, she will tell these surrogate daughters she fiercely loves and protects everything they never knew they needed to know.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The View cohost and three-time Emmy Award winner Sunny Hostin spirits readers away to the warm beaches of Sag Harbor in this instant New York Times bestseller, the second novel in her acclaimed Summer series. In a hidden enclave in Sag Harbor, affectionately known as SANS—Sag Harbor Hills, Azurest, and Nineveh—there’s a close-knit community of African American elites who escape the city and enjoy the beautiful warm weather and beaches at their vacation homes. Since the 1930s, very few have known about this Historically Black Beachfront Community in this part of the Hamptons on Long Island, and the residents like it that way. That is, until real estate developers discover the hidden gem. And now, the residents must fight for the soul of this HBBC. Against the odds, Olivia Jones has blazed her own enviable career path and built her name in the finance world. But hidden behind the veneer of her success, there is a gaping hole. Mourning both the loss and the betrayal of Omar, a surrogate father to her and her two godsisters, Olivia is driven to solve the mystery of what happened to her biological father, a police officer unjustly killed when she was a little girl. Untethered from her life in New York City, Olivia moves to a summer home in Sag Harbor and begins forging a new community out in this HBBC. Friendships blossom with Kara, an ambitious art curator; and Whitney, the wife of an ex-basketball player and current president of the Sag Harbor Homeowners Association; and a sexy new neighbor and single father, Garrett, who makes her reconsider her engagement with Anderson. She also takes to a kind, older gentleman named Mr. Whittingham, but soon discovers he too is not without his own troubles. As the summer stretches on, each relationship teaches her more about who she really is. Though not without cost, Olivia’s search for her authentic identity in the secret history of her family of origin and her fight to preserve her new Black utopia, will lead her to redefine the meaning of love, friendship, community, and family—and restore her faith in herself, her relationships, and her chosen path.

This is the story no one should have to tell, about the nightmare no one wants to live, told by the parent no one wants to be. In May of 2005, Beth Holloway received the worst phone call a parent can imagine. Her beautiful daughter, Natalee, had disappeared without a trace in Aruba during her high school senior class trip. Two years later, for the first time, Beth Holloway steps forward in this astonishingly candid and inspirational memoir to tell of her harrowing ordeal and her never-ending belief in the power of faith that gave her hope against all odds. Natalee's senior class picture was splashed across the front pages of the country's newspapers and on television. Desperate for a clue as to her daughter's whereabouts, Beth and an army of faithful volunteers searched tirelessly for the missing eighteen-year-old. In their pursuit of Natalee, they encountered many roadblocks. As the horror stretched out, Beth stood on her foundation of faith, which at times was all she had to give her strength against a barrage of unbearable questions with no answers. Natalee's disappearance remains unsolved and her location unknown to this day. Beth's search continues.
The life we live has no duplicate; the desire to experience a meaningful and purposeful life can be an innate desire for many people. Our day-to-day existence on earth is not without challenges that unexpectedly come our way which sometimes we do or do not have control over. At every stage in our life, we are either making decisions or been told what to do. Both ways, the choices we make shape our character and attitude along the line and occasionally we are judged by these decisions. This book focuses on what friendship stands for, how friends can influence our decisions and vice versa. It highlights unique stages of friendship and how not to sustain a relationship that ought to end without provoking strife or anger because every relationship has a lifespan. It centers on how you can gain strength in weaknesses and maintaining positive posture in the midst of uncertainties derived from biblical principles.

This book subtitled The Chemistry of Initiation of Non-Ringed Compounds/Monomers is the second Volume [Vol. (II)] of the book titled The New Frontiers in Sciences, Engineering and the Arts. For a compound to undergo Initiation, it must be such that has what is called Activation center(s) wherein there are three kinds of many types. When such compounds are activated, they can be made to undergo either polymeric or chemical reactions. When made to undergo polymeric reactions, the compounds are said to be Addition monomers. It is only when the Initiation Step is favoured by the monomer using an Initiator, that the Propagation Step begins, just as when a child is born into our world, the child begins to grow. If the Initiation Step is not favoured, due to presence of what are called Transfer Species, then chemical reactions take place to give non-polymeric products under Equilibrium mechanism conditions. There are different kinds and types of Transfer Species. They are so important to the point where they indeed embrace the first law in Chemistry, that which has been called The law of Conservation of transfer of transfer species, almost analogous to the Conservation laws in Engineering. Based on this law, so many new concepts too countless to list were identified. How some compounds/monomers rearrange to give other compounds/monomers via different kinds of phenomena all new to Present-day Science, have been identified. So also, are the concepts of Resonance Stabilization which was thought to take place chargedly, something very impossible. There are also many monomers which Present-day Science activate chargedly, things all found to be impossible. Indeed, as has been said, all chemical reactions take place only radically, while only some polymeric reactions take place chargedly, in view of the types of mechanisms involved. Different families of compounds/monomers with activation centers, both known and unknown, olefinic and non-olefinic were considered, providing their chemical behaviours under different operating conditions, based on the New Science. Unlike what is known in Present-day Science, there are Males (called Electrophiles) and Females (called Nucleophiles) compounds/monomers; indeed, more of Females than Males. While Males carry at least two different types of Activation centers cumulatively or conjugatedly placed, Females carry one, two or more same types of activation centers. How these monomers all coming from different family trees favour the routes favoured by them have been shown, even to the point where some which could not be polymerized by Present-day Science, can now be polymerized. For the first time, one has shown what the Hydrocarbon family tree looks like. In view of the absence of hetero atoms in the tree, there are no Males for those that carry Activation centers. For the first time, Azo compounds including hydrocarbons have been renamed and reclassified. How they decompose when catalyzed and non-catalyzed, have begun to be shown. They are important, because from there one began to distinguish between surface and laboratory or industrial chemistry. For the first time, one showed how membranes can be obtained from chitins. So also, one has shown how the oxidation of ortho-xylene which Present-day Science thought was also combustion to give phthalic anhydride using vanadium pentoxide takes place. From all indications, a new science has emerged.

Ringed compounds are very unique in Nature, because the human skeletal foundation as will be seen in Vol VI), from the Head to the Toes are made of ringed compounds (the steroids). It is from the Chemistry of ringed compounds, one can see the Physics of Springs with respect to many concepts such as Strain Energies. There are rings which cannot be opened and there are others which can readily be opened. How rings are formed and opened are unknown to Chemists universally; but they think they know. The characters of rings, the conditions favoring their openings, expansions and reduction in size and formations, the manners by which rings are opened or closed, etc. have been clearly explained. Having covered virtually every type of rings, all the different types of resonance stabilization and molecular rearrangement phenomena and other phenomena present in these systems have begun to be fully identified. For the first time for example, how meta, ortho- and para-substitutions take place in benzene rings, 2-,5- positions or 3-,4- positions substitutions take place in pyrrole, furan and thiophene rings etc. have been clearly explained based on the types of resonance stabilization phenomena favored by them. After every chapter beginning from Vol (II), Rules of Chemistry were stated relating not only to the materials in that chapter, but also to the past and in fact the future. In the last chapter of Vol (III)B, all rules coming from The beginning of a New Dawn for Humanity and also from Vol (I), were stated. These rules are not just ordinary rules, but an embracement of how Nature operates. Amongst ringed compounds/monomers, there are Males (called Electrophiles) and Females (called Nucleophiles), based on the types of Activation centers carried by them Why some favor being used as monomers and others do not, have been clearly explained. Nucleophilic, electrophilic, radical-pushing and radical-pulling capacities of the compounds and their substituted groups (new) have been provided. Before understanding this Volume, Volumes (I) and (II) as well as The Beginning of a New Dawn for Humanity, must be read. This Volume will find most useful applications to the medical scientists, biochemists, chemical and other related disciplines, where little or nothing is indeed known about ringed compounds.

The only book available on liquid piston engines, covering the design, application, maintenance, troubleshooting, and advances in the technology. Whether used in irrigation, cooling nuclear reactors, pumping wastewater, or any number of other uses, the liquid piston engine is a much more efficient, effective, and "greener" choice than many other choices available to industry. Especially if being used in conjunction with solar panels, the liquid piston engine can be extremely cost-effective and has very few, if any, downsides or unwanted side effects. As industries all over the world become more environmentally conscious, the liquid piston engine will continue growing in popularity as a better choice, and its low implementation and operational costs will be attractive to end-users in developing countries. This is the only comprehensive, up-to-date text available on liquid piston engines. The first part focuses on the identification, design, construction and testing of the liquid piston engine, a simple, yet elegant, device which has the ability to pump water but which can be manufactured easily without any special tooling or exotic materials and which can be powered from either combustion of organic matter or directly from solar heating. It has been tested, and the authors recommend how it might be improved upon. The underlying theory of the device is also presented and discussed. The second part deals with the performance, troubleshooting, and maintenance of the engine. This volume is the only one of its kind, a groundbreaking examination of a fascinating and environmentally friendly technology which is useful in many industrial applications. It is a must-have for any engineer, manager, or technician working with pumps or engines.
