Collection of Poetry, a new book by Jacob Mashburn, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Jacob Mashburn’s Collection of Poetry draws inspiration from author’s personal experiences and struggles with OCD and depression. The lines of his freshman poetic collection touch upon the rawness of the darkest and most difficult times in life. The poems are an account of childhood memories and follow along often confusing paths into adulthood, along a dark and uncertain road we all must follow. As much as Collection of Poetry examines the shadows of the human mind, it also inspires hope. Prayer and faith may be tested, but they will help in the darkest moments.

About the Author
Collection of Poetry is Jacob Mashburn’s first published work. He served in the military for over eight years. As a disabled veteran, writing serves a therapeutic purpose in helping him manage and purge obsessive thoughts.

Mashburn currently resides in Buffalo, New York with his wife and two children. He is a member of the LDS church.

Collection of Poetry is a 66-page paperback with a retail price of $11.00. The ISBN is 978-1-4809-4763-4. It was published by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Are We Winning or Are We Losing?, a new book by Rev. Ernest Gillespie III, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Born in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1954, the same year as the Brown v. Board of Ed decision, Rev. Ernest Gillespie III has witnessed its unintentionally disastrous effects firsthand. In Are We Winning or Are We Losing? he asks whether or not desegregation was really a win: with it came the busing programs that destroyed Black communities and helped shepherd the Black youth away from the church. “The worst thing that can destroy a nation of people is when the people forget the past and how important the past was for them,” Rev. Gillespie writes. This book looks at that past and wonders: Are We Winning or Are We Losing?

About the Author
Rev. Ernest Gillespie III is the founder of the Youth for Youth Community Coalition, a mentoring program for troubled teens. Rev. Gillespie was called to ministry at a young age, preaching to family and friends at the age of ten. In 1982, he became senior pastor of Pearly Gate Church in Memphis. His professional history includes positions at the United States Post Office, the Memphis Public School System, and the Shelby County Sheriff’s deputy reserve unit. He has been married to his wife, Betty, for forty-five years, and they have two daughters, Kendra and Katrice.

Are We Winning or Are We Losing? is a 48-page paperback with a retail price of $10.00. The ISBN is 978-1-4809-3891-5. It was published by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

ROANOKE, VA, January 17, 2018 – The Women’s March on Roanoke is pleased to announce that Danielle Belton, a prominent voice of black feminism and managing editor of The Root, will be the keynote speaker on January 20, 2018, in Elmwood Park. The event will take place from 11 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. and the theme is “Hear Our Vote.”

Danielle Belton came to prominence with her popular blog, The Black Snob, an insightful and often biting commentary on pop culture, the media, politics, gender, and race. The blog has won numerous awards, and she has appeared on several “bloggers to watch” lists, including Clutch Magazine and Black Enterprise. She has been published in Time Magazine, The New York Times, The Observer (UK), The Daily Beast, Essence Magazine, The Associated Press, and The American Prospect, and has made appearances on CNN, MSNBC, NPR, PBS, Good Morning America, HLN, ABC’s Nightline and Al Jazeera English. Belton has also spoken at Yale University, Harvard University, and Howard University on race, policy, and identity.

Belton is a powerful voice in today’s conversations about race, politics, and gender. Danielle Belton was coined “a cultural Rosetta Stone for a racially bewildered country” by Cintra Wilson, author of Colors Insulting to Nature. In 2012, Belton wrote about Trayvon Martin on her blog, where she sharply reflected on her own childhood as a black girl under a racist system. In her current managerial role at The Root, Ms. Belton states, “It’s our job to take the dark places and cast light.”

This is the second year for the Women’s March in Roanoke, Virginia. Other speakers include: Afira DeVries, Linda Perriello, Republican Women for Progress, Djuna Osborne, Amnoni Myers, Rebecca Wood, Christine Ristaino, Carolyn Reilly, Yolanda Puyana, Karenne Wood, Melissa Kelly and local youth representing the future of the movement.

Ashland, OR (01/17/2018) – Massif, a world-leader in flame resistant, high-end, technical apparel for the U.S. military has received NAVAIR (Naval Air Systems Command) approval for their new and revolutionary 2-Piece Flight Suit. Years in the making, Massif, a Pacific Northwest company located in Ashland, Oregon, designed their innovative 2-Piece Flight Suit from direct user feedback across multiple branches and platforms.

Armed with this invaluable user input, the Massif team set out to enhance the capabilities of the modern aviator and aircrewman with original design features unique to Massif garments. Intent on dispelling the age-old notion that the Flight Suit must be a standard one-piece, Massif’s designers came up with an athletic style garment, built from Burlington’s Sigma 4 Star™ fabric; certain to set the Flight Suit trend for decades to come.

Charles Sexton, Massif’s Government Sales and Business Development Manager, who worked with NAVAIR towards the approval had this to say about the recent Flight Suit news: “We owe this approval to our loyal customers within aviation, who demanded innovation of an outdated legacy item. Through years of detailed collaboration, we’ve revolutionized both functionality and performance with our new 2-Piece Flight Suit with the sole purpose of enhancing future mission capabilities of our U.S. Military aircrews.”

With flash fire events a potential concern on any jacket and pant separation, Massif engineered and patented a groundbreaking attachment system to connect the jacket to the pant. Neither the jacket nor pant has to be worn with the other in terms of sizing. Massif felt it important to allow mixing and matching of sizes for a better custom fit. This ingenious design allows flexibility and movement between the jacket and pant while still aiding coverage in flash events. The result is a more user-friendly, agile garment that allows men and women to handle their demanding jobs in comfort without sacrificing safety and performance.

To further ensure Massif’s technologically advanced garment met all the needs of the U.S. Military’s athletes-in-the-sky they designed the garment to mitigate heat-stress and enhance quick-drying capabilities by utilizing mesh-lined pocket configurations, yet more features of excellence and attention to safety that Massif is known for.

“We are honored to be able to support such an amazing customer. This approval affirms the dedication of the Massif team to continuously improve and innovate advanced gear that protects those who protect us each and every day.” Said Darci Knobel, V.P. of Sales at Massif.

Incorporating ergonomically designed seam placement, zippered lower legs on the pants for easier donning and doffing, durable ripstop FR fabric, and a modern, athletic fit, Massif left nothing untouched when revolutionizing the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps Flight Suit.

Finally, the Flight Suit, available in both Men’s and Women’s sizing, is one hundred percent Berry Compliant.

Philadelphia, January 16, 2017 – Patients expect their doctors to know the latest medical guidelines, like when they need a mammogram. New research indicates that physicians who participate in MOC, a lifelong learning and assessment program, screen women appropriately for breast cancer, potentially saving lives every year.

Researchers from the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) conducted a novel study focused on female Medicare beneficiaries 65 and older – a population with low screening rates. They found:

Patients who saw internists certified after the MOC program was in place were 2.8 percent more likely to have annual breast cancer screenings and 1.7 percent more likely to have biennial screenings than similar internists not subject to the program requirements.
After the MOC program began, associations with the MOC program requirements and mammography screening tripled among woman who had not been screened at the two-year baseline period and therefore may have benefited the most from increased screening. (They were 8.5 percent more likely to get annual screenings and 6.4 percent more likely to get biennial screenings.)

“One of the most interesting findings was that several patients who had not been screened for breast cancer for a while did undergo a mammogram after the MOC program was in place,” said lead author Bradley M. Gray, PhD, ABIM Senior Health Services Researcher. “This could indicate that ongoing certification gives doctors an opportunity to learn or review guidelines and update the care they provide.”

Dr. Gray and colleagues noted that ABIM certifies 45 percent of all adult primary care physicians, so the program has the potential to impact cancer screenings for a large population of women. Authors also noted that other factors could influence physician adherence to mammography guidelines, so further research is needed to understand how MOC might impact the quality of care that patients receive.
