The day her little sister was born, Aqueea was confronted with the question “Who am I?” It haunts her until she discovers that she is a product of American slave practices. She credits the spirit of her ancestor for driving her to find the answer to her youthful question, “Who am I?”

The book sets forth the ideation that America’s dark history has created the foundation for The Third Emancipation: A New People – A New Clan.

It enhances the abilities to optimize clients’ investments to achieve their goals while minimizing investment volatility. The program contains sections dedicated to behavioral finance, working with small business owners, and succession/exit planning.

Martin Monica, candidate for Santa Clara County Sheriff, is a retired San Jose police officer and a former police chief, currently serving the community by teaching school in an underserved community. He brings to policing, his values of safety, fairness, compassion, and accountability. Monica is a progressive with perspective, with an eye toward treating vulnerable citizens with compassion while recognizing that lawbreakers—no matter their status, background, or position— deserve consequences and citizens deserve protection from them.

Martin Monica’s law enforcement career highlights include:
Breaking a massive child pornography ring, protecting kids and punishing those who would harm them
Getting dismissed as Parlier, California Police Chief for bucking the system by prosecuting a police officer for child molestation of migrant children
Using intelligence, skills, and diplomacy first, and force only when necessary.
Working in collaboration with fellow officers, earning high ratings in peer respect
Key participation in the elimination of a sex trafficking ring in Santa Clara County

Martin Monica supports:
The use of body cameras on officers to promote transparency, with cameras that cannot be turned off at will by officers
Humane treatment of inmates and mental health training for officers,
Instituting education for inmates, because research shows that education reduces repeat offending
Sheriff leadership to create opportunities for deputies to work closely with community members, staying in touch, building relationships so that they can prevent small problems from becoming big ones, and deal with the big problems as quickly and justly as possible.

When elected, Martin Monica will:
Promote an instant savings of $2M by utilizing existing police training rather than training deputies separately. Not only will this save money, it will promote a collaborative partnership and familiarity between the departments and the officers that serve
Work toward culture change to protect arrestees who suffer with mental illness or dementia to prevent incidents like Michael Tyree and Vladimir Matyssik
Institute a citizen review board to examine police incidents of violence and citizen complaints to remove the politics from policing
Support good officers doing good work and use all of his powers to make sure that officer misconduct is not tolerated by culture or by leadership

As an example of what Martin Monica wants to prevent, he is joined by Michael Lazarin.

Lazarin is a family rights advocate who endured the suicide of his teenaged daughter, Audrie Pott, after she was sexually assaulted and bullied at Saratoga High School in 2012. Lazarin seeks to speak on behalf of his daughter and all sons and daughters unjustly denied access to their fathers, mothers and extended families. His current efforts are focused on changing existing California family laws, Family Code Section 7611, and the two-year statute of limitations to obtain an Order for Blood tests set forth in Family Code Section 7540. By changing these laws parental and family alienation is no longer sanctioned by the courts. He is working hard to have a proposed reform, called the Equal Shared Parenting Law, in California 2019.

The Adventure Park at Nashville, a new combination tree-top climbing and zip line experience, is set to open in the West Meade area at 801 Percy Warner Blvd in Nashville on June 9, 2018. Located on about five acres of forest on the grounds of the Gordon JCC, it will be the largest attraction of its kind in the Nashville area.

– Fun for Kids, Teens, Adults & Groups – Different Ages & Abilities – The Park will feature a selection of 12 different color-coded “aerial trails” that include both zip lines and challenge bridges between tree platforms. Climbers proceed from tree to tree across these various bridges and zip lines. The trails are graded, according to challenge difficulty, from those suitable for three-year-old children at about two feet off the ground, to advanced trails for the more athletic at 50 feet off the ground, with a wide selection of intermediate trails to choose from. Non-climbing family and friends are admitted free of charge to share the experience from the ground, at the picnic tables and benches provided.

Starting with opening day June 9, The Adventure Park at Nashville’s regular summer hours, from June 9 – Sept 4, will be Mon-Fri: 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM, Sat, Sun/Holidays: 9:00AM – 10:00 PM. The Park will revise its hours for the fall season afterwards.

The Adventure Park at Nashville is designed, built and operated by the Outdoor Venture Group, LLC, (Outdoor Ventures) which currently operates five other Adventure Parks nationally, in Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, and Virginia. The company brought the modern Swiss style Adventure Park to the United States in 2008.

The Park’s friendly staff is available to answer questions and assist from the moment customers arrive to the moment they conclude their climb and return home with satisfied “I did it!” smiles.

The Adventure Park is not one single aerial treetop trail but a variety of different, color-coded aerial trails of differing challenge levels—beginner through expert—that climbers choose from depending on their age or climbing experience. There are trails suitable for kids, teens, adults and groups. These trails consist of platforms installed in the trees and connected by various configurations of cable, wood and rope to form “crossings” of different kinds including the ever-popular zip lines. Climbers wear harnesses which are doubly secured to safety cables using the Park’s “always locked on” system of interlocking safety clips. Before venturing onto the trails climbers receive an interactive orientation and practice session.

Going for Balm in Gilead, a new book by Mazs M. Yebbus, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Samuel was born in an African village, where the ancestors used to depend on natural indicators to predict the start of seasonal rains. Lately, the indicators had become unreliable, and when the community failed to predict the onset of rains, crops failed, and the threat of famine loomed large on the horizon. Samuel was blamed because he had passed on information about the rains, which turned out to be wrong. Assisted by an enigmatic village pastor, Samuel escaped to the city before society could exact its retribution. Enticed by the prospects of better income abroad, Samuel crossed the Mediterranean Sea illegally, to settle in Gilead in Europe. Unfortunately, life in Gilead did not turn out as he had envisaged. This book chronicles Samuel’s struggle to achieve success. It tells the story of how he had to straddle two parallel worlds of existence, and the ultimate discovery that because he had become exotic in both worlds, ‘home’ was nowhere. This is Samuel’s story of how he ultimately discovers that the secret of success lay in self-reconciliation, and that at the heart of this, was the definition of ‘home.’

About the Author
