Functionality is the key driver of eBook adoption. There are many benefits in using eBooks -- you can search 200 pages in a few seconds, you can carry a thousand books in a lightweight laptop; eBooks are typically cheaper than printed books, you can buy an eBook any time of the night or day and have it almost immediately, and so on.

But the functionality of the reading platform is another matter. There is a convoluted chain of interdependencies that falls between the time when the consumer forms the desire to buy an eBook and their finally being able to settle down and read their eBook. Support issues can arise at almost every link in this chain. And they do. Each technical hoop that a consumer has to jump through represents a disincentive for coming back again.

Publishers have operated a very successful and orderly economic model for about 500 years now. The expected adoption of eBooks hasn't helped this transition. Publishers are very busy managing the exigencies of their business, in a climate of shrinking margins and fierce competition. To ask them to divert scarce internal resources into a new business model -- a model that carries a heightened risk of -- is not trivial.

The process of acquiring a book (and getting the thing to work once you've downloaded it) can be daunting. The Microsoft solution does not currently handle images and tables well. These design elements are critical in publishing professional and educational books. The downloading process needs to be simplified. The reading platforms have to be stable. As the range grows and the buying and reading experiences improve, the low-cost channel will come into its own.

Great News!! Six Cities and a State in the USA Declare 2nd August 2023 as Global Forgiveness Day, commemorating Revered Dada Vaswani’s Birthday.

New Jersey, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/04/2023 -- A powerful wave of forgiveness and compassion swept through New York City as Mayor Eric Adams officially proclaimed August 2nd, 2023, as "Global Forgiveness Day." The historic proclamation, by official decree, recognizes the significance of this day in promoting love, peace, and healing among individuals and communities worldwide.

Distinguished leaders and representatives from the State of New York, the City of New York, and the towns of East Brunswick, Closter, Edison, Secaucus, and Guttenberg, New Jersey, all united and joined Mayor Eric Adams in proclaiming this day as the Global Forgiveness Day, celebrating the life and teachings of visionary spiritual luminary Revered Dada J.P. Vaswani. The esteemed spiritual leader's birthday served as the perfect occasion to commemorate Global Forgiveness Day and embrace forgiveness as a powerful catalyst for positive change. Senators Bob Menendez and Cory Booker were deeply touched by the occasion and sent special messages of compassion and love to all.

As part of the celebrations, an event was organized at the Consulate of India, New York, on August 2nd, to proclaim "Global Forgiveness Day." Joining this event were Jennifer Rajkumar, New York State Representative and Assembly Woman, Mayor of Closter, John C. Glidden, Jr., Dilip Chauhan, Deputy Commissioner NYC Mayor's Office for International Affairs, Consul General Randhir Jaiswal, Jagdish Sehwani, Jonathan Granoff, and several participants, dignitaries, and prominent personalities from New York City, who paid homage to the visionary spiritual luminary, Dada J.P. Vaswani, whose teachings have inspired the Global Forgiveness Day movement.

The core team of Dada J.P. Vaswani's mission in New Jersey, led by Eddie Datwani, Chairman, Ashok Lalwani, CEO, Chandru Mahtani, Treasurer, and all the board and committee members, were gratefully overjoyed by these proclamations, which highlight the commitment of these cities and the state to foster understanding and empathy in a world that craves healing and unity. Global Forgiveness Day aims to inspire acts of forgiveness, love, and kindness, nurturing an environment of compassion and hope for everyone, and creating a more inclusive world.

A profound message on the power of fostering a habit of forgiveness on a day-to-day basis by Dada J.P. Vaswani and a guided visualization-based meditation by Didi Krishna Kumari along with deeply moving live santoor (meditative musical instrument) by Vinay Desai, a student of Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma, was played at this event in New York, taking everyone to that calm state within. The event proceedings commenced with the rendering of the national anthems of India and USA, probably for the first time ever on Santoor. The entire audience rose in respect while Vinay played his instrument. Everyone observed "A Moment of Calm" with silence, practicing forgiveness, and reflecting on its significance in their personal and collective journeys. The Moment of Calm resonated with similar sessions held in numerous cities worldwide, including Pune in India, the headquarters of the Sadhu Vaswani Mission, where millions united in the message of forgiveness and reconciliation.

The movement is receiving widespread acclaim, attracting collaborations with esteemed organizations dedicated to peace and forgiveness. Partnerships with Greater Good of the University of California, Berkeley, CCARE of Stanford University, Project Forgive, Unify, Worldwide Forgiveness Alliance, The Path of Forgiveness, Infinite Love, The Love Foundation, Pardon International, Project Happiness, and Choose Love Movement continue to strengthen the global network of peace advocates.

Revered Dada Vaswani's profound statement, "Hearts at peace will create world peace," continues to resonate with people worldwide, inspiring them to embrace forgiveness as a path to lasting peace and understanding. His legacy of love and compassion continues to touch hearts across the globe. The teachings of Dada Vaswani resonated with prominent personalities, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, H.H. Dalai Lama, H.H. Pope John Paul II, Mother Teresa, Acharya Dr. Lokesh Muni, H.H. Pope Francis, Sheikh Abdul Aziz Bukhari, Grand Mufti of Syria, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Swami Chidanand Saraswati, and many others, who have embraced the transformative power of forgiveness.

"Love is seeing God in the person next to us, and meditation is seeing God within us." - Revered Dada J.P. Vaswani

"Global Forgiveness Day" and "A Moment of Calm" have now become a symbol of collective responsibility, inspiring individuals to contribute to a more compassionate and loving world. As the event concluded in NYC, the spirit of forgiveness lives on, encouraging everyone to integrate forgiveness into their daily lives and foster personal growth.

Join the global movement and experience the profound impact of forgiveness. By practicing forgiveness, we sow the seeds of love and compassion, nurturing a more peaceful and harmonious society.

Austin, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/30/2023 -- MyEListing.com, a free commercial real estate listing and data platform, recently published a report illustrating a state-by-state comparative analysis of homelessness in the United States.

The report found that, since 2019, approximately 40% of homeless individuals in the US are entirely unsheltered; the percentage of homeless individuals living in emergency shelters has increased by 1%; and the percentage of homeless individuals using transitional housing has decreased by 19%.

According to the report, more homeless live in places not meant for housing, such as cars, streets, or other public places.

"The total homelessness rate has remained relatively unchanged, with a .03% increase from 2019 to 2022," says the report. "However, the increase in unsheltered individuals and the decrease in transitional housing usage underscores the urgent need for comprehensive, coordinated solutions to address homelessness in the United States."

As of 2022, 11% of US homeless are living in transitional housing, 49% in emergency shelters, and 40% without shelter, with 89% of the homeless using emergency shelters or living without any shelter; the general trend in American homelessness seems to be moving towards a deeper state of isolation instead of assimilation.

The report also found that men are more likely to be homeless than women and that one in every five homeless individuals is severely mentally ill. Additionally, it found that one in every six homeless individuals suffers from chronic substance abuse, and one in every twelve is a victim of domestic violence.

"The data on homelessness in the United States in 2022 highlights the urgent need for comprehensive, coordinated solutions to this complex issue," reads the report. "This includes partnerships between government agencies, non-profit organizations, faith communities, and other stakeholders, as well as meaningful engagement with individuals and families experiencing homelessness."

Freebird Publishers Leads the Way for Prisoners Seeking Mandatory Release

North Dighton, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/09/2023 -- In the wake of the Mandatory Release of state prisoners, Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall files suit to obstruct the prisoner's early release. Likewise, Alabama Governor Kay Ivey goes on record that she continues to stand for public safety. This political stance by elected officials is common among all the states around the country. They are strong on the pro-prison stance but continually obstruct state-sponsored rehabilitation. Thus, our elected officials continue to convict the poor rather than fight the poverty that leads to crime. Freebird Publishers ( https://www.freebirdpublishers.com/product-page/2254-pro-se-guide-to-winning-federal-relief ) does and continues to stand for American Prisoners in need of help. They provide information that helps prisoners find rehabilitation and early release from state and federal prisons. This is best exemplified by their distribution of books by the nationally known author Raymond E. Lumsden.

In Mr. Lumsden's line of books, prisoners will find many ways to fight for early release from prison in state and federal courts. His books consist of:

The Habeas Corpus Manual
This book is written specifically for the pro se inmate. Within its pages lay the information, process, and instructions for obtaining relief in a state habeas corpus.

From the initial investigation through filing a writ of habeas corpus, prisoners are provided effective forms, motions, and detailed instructions specific to state-level habeas corpus.

Armed with this book, relief is only a few pages away if done properly and effectively. Any pro se inmate serious about post-conviction relief should order a copy. Even if not incarcerated or are not an inmate and looking to overturn a conviction, sentence, etc., this is the book needed.

§ 2254 Pro Se Guide to Winning Federal Relief

Designed to teach and assist pro se prisoners, and the public, in post-conviction proceedings. This extremely easy-to-use tutorial is packed full of sample motions, letters, forms, and pleadings that will assist in advancing one's rights in federal court. It's a must-have for anyone attempting to do so pro se.

Logically written in layman's terms for easy comprehension and strategically outlined and organized, this book allows people to absorb and easily follow the complicated and twisted path that is the federal court system.

This is an invaluable tool and resource for any pro se user who hopes to achieve relief in their federal post-conviction habeas corpus. Herein is everything you will ever need to know, at your fingertips for use and application, in a federal habeas corpus.

The Pro Se Guide to Legal Research & Writing
This easy-to-follow and understand guide provides everyone with the tools necessary to obtain relief from legal issues.

Clear, concise, and direct legal writing is essential for inmates.
Prison "writ-writers" use opaque, jargon-filled writing, which only further alienates those reading it. In this manner, relief is hard-pressed to obtain, if at all.

This book, created for inmates, is the most practical and effective manual available for pro se use.
Every inmate should own a copy and many already do.

The Pro Se Section 1983 Manual

This book is an invaluable and indispensable resource for the pro se inmate seeking to protect their constitutional rights in prison and obtain reform. Comprehensive, precise, and layman guidance provides pro se inmates with information regarding:

" Conditions of Confinement
" Civil Rights in Prison
" Due Process
" How to Litigate
" Legal Research
" Preparing Legal Documents

Written by an inmate for inmates, the Pro Se Section 1983 manual is an authoritative, organized, and easy-to-understand manual designed to bring results and relief. Every inmate wishing to protect their civil rights should have a copy. There is no other book like this one related to Section 1983.

Freebird Publishers Brings Rehabilitation Through Literacy

North Dighton, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/07/2023 -- Freebird Publishers ( https://www.freebirdpublishers.com/single-post/freebird-publishers-recognized-as-the-leader-in-prisoner-publications ) brings rehabilitation to our country's prisoners by teaching them to be something greater than they have ever been. They have and continue to educate prisoners, who are at their lowest level, to be everything that they could have never become. Freebird Publishers accomplishes this task by providing educational materials to inmates who wish to be more and to live a crime-free life upon release. They have gone as far as to transform prisoners who were high-school dropouts into best-selling authors.

One such success story is that of Kelly Patrick Riggs. He is the Freebird Publishers best-selling author who is responsible for writing books such as the Post-Conviction Relief series and How to Write Your Own Check, a book that details how he became what he is today. And most importantly how anyone who can write a text message can follow in his footsteps. His story goes beyond becoming a nationally known author, he also teaches how to achieve financial freedom through writing. Kelly Patrick Riggs is also the author of Under Seal, the first of what he intends to be many fiction novels.

As illustrated in How to Write Your Own Check, Kelly Patrick Riggs failed high school English twice. He dropped out of high school to join the United States Army and hated to read or write anything. Upon his release from the Army, he lived a relatively unremarkable life and later ended up in prison where the staff of Freebird Publishers found him. Mr. Riggs had a gift of learning that was cultivated by the staff of Freebird Publishers and over time their interaction transformed Mr. Riggs with rehabilitation. Today Mr. Riggs Writes for prisoners, lawyers, and Freebird Publishers.

Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States, once wrote, "the measure of a society is how it treats the weakest members." This is indeed the mantra of Freebird Publishers. They not only transform prisoners who wish to be more, but they also provide much-needed services to those who do not know yet what they want to become. Prison is a time of transformation and even though our system of correction fails to provide change, Freebird Publishers reaches out to all incarcerated Americans in hope of changing the future of our society.

Prisoners Who Maintain Relationships with Outside Friends More Likely to Succeed

North Dighton, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/13/2022 -- Prisoners who maintain healthy relationships with friends and family on the outside are more likely to succeed in life on the outside. It's no secret that prisons provide little to no support structure for inmates who are soon to be released. This is where www.Penacon.com (https://penacon.com/blog/pen-pals-make-huge-difference-in-criminal-justice-reform-2) is set apart from other organizations.

It is the common consensus that prison time makes monsters out of everyone they claim they are helping. One good example is that of the Alabama state prison system where an inmate is more likely to be murdered than to be rehabilitated. This phenomenon is believed to be caused by the isolation that is suffered when a human being is locked away like an animal. The suffering begins by requiring prisoners to eat food that is not fit for human consumption. They are then deprived of their voice and credibility to do anything about abusive conditions. The next most debilitating condition is depriving the prisoner of outside contact with humanity. In many cases, depriving a prisoner of communication with friends and family is used as a punishment for trivial infractions like not being quiet enough during the count.

Incarceration has an undeniable negative impact on relationships with friends and family and prisoners need outside connections to thrive. Physical separation, denial of communication, and prison policies operate to weaken relationships and isolate prisoners over time. A lack of a support network often results in increased behavioral issues during a given term of incarceration and increased recidivism rates after release.

Penacon.com is committed to assisting prisoners with maintaining outside contact with friends and family. They are aware that changing the life course of an inmate starts on the first day of incarceration and is essential to the sound rehabilitation of any individual who is locked away. It is also important for friends and family to help prisoners with developing a support circle that the prisoner can rely on upon release.

This is why Penacon.com has made it easier than ever for friends and family members of inmates to sign them up on their web-based pen pal system. Once an inmate is signed up and loaded on the pen pal system, they can start receiving letters from potential new friends almost immediately. An inmate who has many pen pals writing to them poses a reduced burden on the family members who support them.

Well-informed family and friends of American prisoners know the value of signing their loved one up on a well-managed web-based pen pal system.

For more information about signing up an incarcerated loved one, visit www.Penacon.com.

About Penacon
Penacon (https://www.Penacon.com) is based in North Dighton, Massachusetts (MA). Their goal is to help those within the incarcerated community to gain friendships, make romantic connections, and reach for a brighter tomorrow. They bring caring people from all over the world to the prisoners who need a positive influence. Whether people are looking for a new friend, the love of their life, or a positive and supportive mentor, this is the right place to come.

For its in-home work, Cardinal provides one-on-one Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy with a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) supervising the case and working closely with parents to develop a treatment plan for each child. A Registered Behavior Technician implements the treatment plan from day to day, all with the ultimate goal of promoting independence and fostering communication, social, and life skills for children with an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis.

BCBA James Noga said he's excited to be part of the journey to bring Cardinal's evidence-based therapy approach and strong legacy of success to Arizona.

"A need has been identified for compassionate care for both the individuals with a diagnosis and the families of those individuals," Noga said. "We aim to provide the necessary tools to individuals and families so that success may be found. We are going to strive to be a leader in the Arizona market in both our quality of care as well as our training of staff."

Noga said Cardinal's focus on high-quality training for staff means its experts can offer children individualized programs and care that reinforce positive behaviors and isolate negative behaviors.

The Cardinal Center is already recognized for its work, dedication, and professionalism in North Carolina, where it operates a clinic in Cary and serves children in several communities across the state, including Durham, Raleigh, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, High Point, Apex, and Wake Forest.

While the work continues to find a physical location for Cardinal's forthcoming Arizona clinic, which will provide a space for social groups as well as more comprehensive care for those children who need it, Noga said the center is looking to collaborate with primary care physicians as well as occupational and physical therapists, speech-language pathologists and other Arizona specialists to make a lasting positive mark on children.

"We hope that you choose us to provide compassionate care to your loved one," Noga said.

About The Cardinal Center for Behavior Analysis

Seeing a need for high-quality, customized autism therapy, The Cardinal Center for Behavior Analysis has established a unique program where children with autism can learn in a positive place. Cardinal's vision is to create a unique setting, including one-on-one and group Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, to improve the lives of children and families with children on the spectrum. Cardinal uses ABA in an engaging way that helps children adapt to new environments and learn to thrive independently.

Los Angeles, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/27/2022 -- In early October, Connor Byers, a student at The University of Southern California, launched his company Performance Gum, a caffeinated energy gum targeted at athletes for peak performance. Byers hopes to provide a way for athletes of all levels (and non-athletes too) to bring energy on the go, for whatever the situation calls for. The brand has taken off after Byers ran a fully-funded Kickstarter campaign this past summer.

"It's amazing to see all the uses people have found for it," Byers said. "I've heard from people who use it as an instant boost to stay alert while driving, something to fit in their pocket while going out for the night, or to achieve their best performance while working out."

The company states that the gum's main advantages over coffee are its convenience and speed of delivery. While a cup of coffee can take up to 20 minutes to deliver caffeine, Performance Gum's caffeine is received almost immediately through sensors under the tongue. A pack can also easily fit in your pocket to bring in almost any situation, whether that's a bike race or a night out on the town. It's been used by athletes at all levels, across the major sports leagues of America.

Byers has big plans for the brand, with partnerships with USC organizations and NIL deals with many student-athletes. "I want to bring in the community with this product," he said. "There are so many talented individuals at USC, I think it's the perfect place to launch a product like this."

You can currently find Performance Gum on Amazon, or in select retail locations across Southern California.

Marketing Expert Clint White Launches Debut Book

New York City, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/16/2022 -- "The perfect book for the aspiring entrepreneur, or any small business." — Robert Grede, Best-Selling Author of Naked Marketing: The Bare Essentials

With over 30 years in the business of marketing, Clint White has a simple message for entrepreneurs: you are not a brand and that is a good thing.

Before you start your business, before you spend a dime on marketing or hire another brand strategist, you need to consider something: You don't have a brand. Everyone from aspiring entrepreneurs to seasoned business titans believes in the power of branding. But the truth is, most businesses, nonprofits, charities, and social movements aren't brands. They are tattoos.

Ben Bilbrough, Founder and CEO of Addy.co, says, "Clint White's refreshing new take on growth marketing is so smart. This book resets expectations on brand-building and instead offers marketers realistic, actionable tactics to drive results. Tattoos, Not Brands is an enjoyable read as well as a reference book every ambitious organization and dynamic small business should keep handy."

Unlike market-driven brands, tattoos are mission-driven. And if you have a tattoo, approaching marketing from a brand mindset will prove–inevitably–unsuccessful. Drawing upon research, psychology, and decades of experience, Tattoos, Not Brands: An Entrepreneur's Guide to Smart Marketing and Business Building offers an innovative approach to marketing.

Avenue Magazine calls Tattoos, Not Brands a "must-read for anyone who is looking to grow a business, organization, or movement. Full of smart practical guidance that reverberates universally—from luxury goods to social impact and everything in between."

For author Clint White, listening to audiobooks has been his favorite way to consume and learn from books. Entrepreneurs are notorious for having an active, busy schedule, so having an audiobook format for Tattoos, Not Brands was an absolute must.

"I am particularly excited about the audiobook, as this is the way I personally engage with content," says White. "Producing it together with voice artist Mike Bratton and Bobby Dunaway of Indigo River Publishing was a true pleasure; hearing the prose that I have spent the past 10 years developing delivered in that format gave me additional confidence that the Tattoos concept will speak directly to so many business builders that are in the growth stage."

White's publishing debut Tattoos, Not Brands is available on Amazon, Audible, and major book retailers.

About The Author: Clint White has 30 years of experience with marketing, often in extremely challenging circumstances. In addition to his role as a marketing consultant, he's a teacher, advisor, investor, writer and business-builder who leads campaign strategies for innovative, dynamic businesses and nonprofit social impact organizations. Recognized as a Crain's New York Business Top Entrepreneur, he was also presented with a Communication Arts Award of Excellence, several Tellys, a Leadership Award for driving social change through media at the Social Impact Summit at the United Nations. In addition, he also served as an advisor to the Obama White House Office of Public Engagement on Social Impact Media.

Archaeologist Joel Klenck reports that within Noah’s Ark on greater Mount Ararat, explorers retrieved a calf-skin parchment from Area A1, Locus 14, in an archaeological context from the Late Epipaleolithic Period (13,100 and 9,600 BC), exhibiting Paleo-Hebrew letters and numbers.

Lighthouse Point, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/30/2022 -- Harvard University educated archaeologist, current president of the applied archaeology firm, PRC, Inc., and non-profit Ararat Conservation, Inc., and former maritime executive, Joel Klenck, reports that within the rediscovered Noah's Ark a calf-skin parchment was found in a context dating between 13,100 and 9,600 BC. The parchment exhibits Paleo-Hebrew letters, numbers, and grammar. Moreover, the characters reflect the writings of four individuals, most likely Noah, Shem, Ham, Japheth, or their wives, as noted in Genesis 6:10 and the Qur'an.

Klenck confirms, "Noah's Ark is the greatest archaeological site in history. The Ark is in the southern gorge of greater Mount Ararat, 158 meters in length, in two general areas, within ten smaller locations, 3,900 to 4,700 meters in elevation, currently exhibiting 14 archaeological features, and accessed by tunnels 4 to 11 meters beneath the surface. The vessel dates to the Late Epipaleolithic Period (13,100-9,600 BC).

Noah's Ark offers life or death to the Turkish Republic. Noah's Ark will provide at least $38 billion dollars annually to the Turkish Republic via religious tourism because the Ark is lauded by Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. The Noah's Ark Codex is priceless and supports the views of the three Abrahamic faiths that the Semitic language group includes the earliest language. The nearest city, Dogubayazit, could soon rival Mecca, Medina, Jerusalem, and Rome. If the central government of Turkey does not protect Noah's Ark, the PKK, a violent Marxist terrorist organization, renown for killing women and children, will the discover the vessel, exchange its looted codex and artifacts for armaments, and spread Stone Age pandemics from tons of thawing animal feces in the Ark, bringing harm to Turkish civilians."

The prehistoric maritime barge exhibits angled hulls, thousands of cages, frozen animal dung on midden floors, sloping ramps, three decks, ballasts, cargo holds, nautical carpentry using stone adzes, and the interior and exterior of the vessel covered with pitch. Inside the Ark there is no pottery, but a Late Stone Age (13,100-9,600 BC) assemblage featuring stone tools and containers, vegetal baskets, textiles, cords, bone and wood artifacts, a prehistoric diet of chickpea, bitter vetch, pea, and cereal grains in various stages of domestication.

Conversely, near entrances leading inside the Ark, later cultures constructed small areas of worship, with unique artifact placements, showing veneration for thousands of years with pottery types from the Pottery Neolithic (7,000-5,800 BC) through Medieval periods (AD 700-1375), filled with the residue of wine, milk, and seeds. Also, stone figures, from the Sumerian Early Dynastic Period (2,900-2,334 BC), were found in these small worship areas.

Akkadian seals from 2,300 BC portray the Ark on greater Mount Ararat and Hittite tablets from 1,300 BC mention Noah. The structure matches descriptions of Noah's Ark by the Patriarch Moses in Genesis, renown scholars Berossus and Josephus, and Islam's Prophet Muhammed throughout the Quran.

Armenians hid Noah's Ark since 247 BC and improved its concealment to support Armenian independence. When this revolution failed, the leader of the Armenian Church, Mkrtich Khrimian (1820-1907), issued orders to further conceal the Ark, a secret insured by Stalinist purges, which impacted Armenian history, causing a range of emotions. Klenck battles a group with ties to the PKK, who denigrate and destroy Noah's Ark, a prehistoric shrine for Islam, Christianity, and Judaism.

The archaeologist notes: "The Codex rebuffs modern linguistic views that the earliest languages emerged from an amalgam of populations distributed throughout the globe. Instead, the presence of the Ark on Mount Ararat, and its Paleo-Hebrew manuscript, supports claims by the Patriarch Moses, Jesus Christ, and Islam's Prophet Muhammed that the Semitic language group includes the first language on earth, which survived the catastrophic global flood.

Notable scholars such as Abraham Ibn Ezra (AD 1089-1167) opined the initial chapters of Genesis were memorized by each generation from Adam to Moses. 'Toledot' are first mentioned in Genesis 2:5 and continue, for example, in Genesis 5:1, 6:9, 10:1, 10:32, and 11:10. Ibn Ezra theorized that Toledot, which means 'account' or 'generations,' were used as segments so early descendants would memorize key Biblical accounts from creation, through the Flood, to the Exodus from Egypt. With the Codex evidencing a written language, Paleo-Hebrew, before the Flood, at the end of the Pleistocene and Late Stone Age, Ibn Ezra's claims about memorization should be revised. In lieu of the Noah's Ark Codex, Toledot represented written documents that were compiled by Moses in his writing of the Pentateuch, from Genesis to Deuteronomy.

The context where the Codex was found was in Area A1, Locus 14, a small enclave within the second deck of the vessel, that was used to heat food and water. The manuscript was found in a small hidden niche, behind partially cut, vertically placed, cypress beams which formed the walls of the installation. In Locus 14, the precursors of ceramic containers were found, where Noah and his family placed wood containers, covered with clay mud, and heated them in the Ark. These containers elucidate the origins of ceramics manufacturing, where it was assumed that pottery developed from gypsum and burnt lime containers or White Ware (Vaiselles Blanches).

Now, due to Noah's Ark, archaeologists must contend with a simpler model for the origins of pottery: Stone Age populations fashioned wood containers, covered them with clay, and heated them over fires. Eventually, humans eliminated the wood containers and focused on solely clay containers that were hardened via heat, thus providing the genesis of ceramic manufacturing.

There are several different types of handwriting in the Codex, from the heavy blocky writing of one individual to the lighter gracile characters of an editor which corrects a misspelling, the Paleo-Hebrew word for 'life.'

The Noah's Ark Codex is written on specially prepared parchment known as klaf or vellum, made from the skin of kosher animals such as a calf. The cover of the Codex measures 14.67 cm in length and 10.59 cm in width. Both the cover and three bindings are made of soft leather. The Codex comprises seven (7) pages of thin klaf, with disintegrating edges, measuring 9.75 cm in length and 7.53 cm in width.

Vellum has much collagen. When water in paint impacts the parchment's surface, the collagen melts, forming grooves in the klaf and raised surfaces for the paint. Vellum is affected by the environment, especially humidity. The context where the Codex was found was in Locus 14, Area A1, the most elevated and best preserved section of the Ark. Locus 14 is surrounded by four larger structures and ultimately the vessel's hull. The interior and exterior of these structures are covered by layers of pitch or bitumen and resin. Area A1 has an elevation above 4000 meters on greater Mount Ararat and is buried under eight (8) meters of glacial ice and lithic material, with no humidity. Much of the paint of the Codex has faded. What remains are the grooved striations caused by the melting of the collagen when the paint was initially applied in the Late Epipaleolithic Period (13,100-9,600 BC).

The Codex is written right to left, similar to modern Hebrew and Arabic, and from top to bottom. The pages are mostly adhered together. Somewhat tragically, the discoverers of the manuscript pried apart two sections of the manuscript exposing pages 2, 3, 4, and 5. For pages 2 and 4, impressions of the collagen striations in the vellum are discernable but portray reverse images. Hence, at this point, scholars can discern the reverse of pages 2 and 4, and front of pages 3 and 5. The Paleo-Hebrew characters evidence a range of clarity from bold, deeply incised letters to faint striations. Multi-spectral and x-ray imaging is needed to discern more verbiage and symbols from the Codex.

The Codex also shows the first evidence for illumination, where three images: Mount Ararat, the mountain range immediately south of Ararat, and a camel are covered with gold powder mixed with either gum arabic or egg, a layer known as shell gold. Lastly, the Codex portrays two 5-candle menorahs without bases under greater Mount Ararat.

There is a belief among Kurdish populations, living near greater Mount Ararat, that Noah's Ark contains gold. This belief is correct. The illumination on the Codex was made from gold powder somewhere within the vessel. The Ark is in a remote location, on the highest mountain in the Near East, distant from sources of gold. Also, the Codex reveals imagery, such as the low northern summit behind the southern plateau, present only at the end of the Epipaleolithic Period, around 9,600 BC, before volcanism increased the elevation and altered the morphology of the Mountain's north side.

Also, the Codex suggests there might be other klaf manuscripts inside Noah's Ark. The authors of the Codex do not fully utilize the space of the vellum pages and instead treat the manuscript as a literary exercise featuring Paleo-Hebrew word plays, brief expressions, and descriptions of the illuminated images. Also, the manuscript mentions aspects about Noah and the Flood described in Genesis and the Qur'an but does not match phrases in either document. As such, I believe other manuscripts, such as 'Toledot' sections noted in the Bible and discussed by Ibn Ezra are still hidden in the vessel."

Klenck concludes: "This precious Codex, like so much of the artifacts and architecture in Noah's Ark, must be controlled by the central government of Turkey. Now, priceless artifacts from Noah's Ark, lauded by the Muslim Prophet Muhammed, Jesus Christ, and the Patriarch Moses, which represent the dawn of civilization and the origin of the Neolithic Period, are being looted and damaged with limited supervision by Turkish archaeological authorities. This destruction of the Ark and its artifacts is a catastrophe."

Reading is The Number One Contribution to Prisoner Rehabilitation.

North Dighton, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/22/2022 -- Freebird Publishers Recognized as The Leader in Prisoner Publications

Reading is The Number One Contribution to Prisoner Rehabilitation

Freebird Publishers (https://www.freebirdpublishers.com/our-publications) continues to strive to fight recidivism through prisoner education. The Bureau of Justice Statistics studies have found high rates of recidivism among released prisoners. One study, which tracked 404,638 prisoners in 30 states after their release from prison, found that about 2/3 (67.8%) of released prisoners were rearrested within 3 years of release and more than 3/4 (76.6%) were rearrested within 5 years. More than half (56.7%) of these rearrests were in the first year after release. However, there is a 43% reduction in recidivism rates for those prisoners who participate in prison education programs.

In light of these shocking statistics, Freebird Publishers continually finds new ways to distribute books to inmates. Their books cover a wide range of subjects from cooking to legal education. One of the most important subject to prisoners around the country is Post Conviction Relief. Freebird Publishers has as a featured set of books, the Post-Conviction Relief series by Kelly Patrick Riggs. This set of books has educated many prisoners as Post-Conviction paralegals. With this skill prisoners, upon release, can secure semiprofessional employment once released. This set of books, among the many other legal books distributed by Freebird Publishers, consists of:

Post-Conviction Relief: Secrets Exposed;

Post-Conviction Relief: The Appeal;

Post-Conviction Relief: Advancing Your Claim;

Post-Conviction Relief: Winning Claims;

Post-Conviction Relief: C.O.A in The Supreme Court;

Post-Conviction Relief: Second Last Chance.

Americans who have loved ones in prison would do very well to invest in their future so they may also help in the fight against recidivism.

Invaluable Service Furthers Student Sense of Community and Purpose in Wake of Fatal Fire.

New York, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/18/2022 -- On January 9, a devastating fire erupted in a Bronx apartment building. Kyle Hassell, a Senior Childcare Worker and Vocational Counselor, led a donation effort among staff and students at the Summit School at Nyack.

The fire in the Bronx left thousands at risk as hundreds of firefighters responded within just two minutes of the call. The fire killed 17 people and injured 63, exhausting NYC Emergency Responders of energy and resources and leaving hundreds of families homeless going into the coldest months of the year. A firefighter and friend told Kyle the news, and he immediately responded by emailing the staff at Summit School to coordinate a donation drive.

Invaluable Lessons With Kyle Hassell

Normally, Kyle had been taking students to a local plumbing facility for vocational training. This time, he was recruiting students to take supplies to a donation center. As Kyle and the students packed into their van and rode back to school, a message about Fat Joe's Bronx Fire Fundraiser aired on New York's Hot 97. Students said the announcement helped them realize the gravity of the situation and their impact. Recognizable faces in the community stood together to help the unfortunate folks reeling in the aftermath of disaster. For Kyle, a proud New Yorker and Harlem native, the lesson was simple: "In times of strife, you have to put your needs to the side to help other people."

Kyle's job as a Vocational Counselor at Summit School is to show students the opportunities they have for growth and success in adulthood. The Summit School is particularly designed for students with learning difficulties and, as such, an important facet of their program is to inform students of the opportunities available to them and guide them that the right education and work ethic will get them where they want to be. According to Kyle, this can be an uphill battle:

"The problem is getting the kids to take advantage of the opportunities. With our population, a lot of kids will say 'I wanna do it' but they have emotional problems, anxiety…"

While the real challenge is getting kids to follow through on their goals, Kyle believes that showing students their opportunities and introducing them to individuals and organizations (college, vocational training) is one way to instill a sense of drive. The Summit School student body's recent philanthropic efforts in the Bronx and beyond are bolstering students' sense of drive and helping them to overcome the aforementioned personal hurdles. Whether Kyle is introducing students to a career or taking them out to help the community, he aims to teach a valuable lesson on every trip and show students it's not as hard as it seems to find success and make a difference.

The Summit School at Nyack's mission is to provide a unified yet individualized and thoughtful approach to therapeutic, academic, and recreational programming. Students receive specialized instruction, guidance, and encouragement to build on their strengths and realize their potential. In our community, all students define and achieve personal success as they embrace their own promising future.

Corte Madera, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/07/2021 -- The SAT Myth, that being that the SAT test is essentially uncoachable and a person cannot significantly raise their SAT test score by taking a prep course, began being promulgated by the SAT's owner, College Board, at least as early as 1965 and continued to be promulgated by College Board at least as late as 2015:

"increases in scores on the SAT that may result from coaching are negligible." - College Board (1965)

"The evidence collected leads us to conclude that intensive drill for the SAT, either on its verbal or its mathematical part, is at best likely to yield insignificant increases in scores." - College Board (1965)

"Unfortunately, by the time most students begin to worry about admission tests, it's too late to do much about the results. Preparation should begin well before the letters S-A-T or A-C-T are even mentioned." - College Board (2001)

"Some students simply have modest abilities in the areas being tested. Their test scores probably won't improve if they take a special preparation course. In fact, scores might even go down." - College Board (2001)

"Fact: SAT Coaching Schools' Programs Yield Modest Score Gains: ... While studies have provided slightly different estimates, on average, the effect of coaching on the math section is between 10–20 points, and between 5–10 points for the verbal section (15 to 30 points in total)." - College Board (2015)

Research recently published in November 2019 titled "Calculating SAT Test Prep Course Return on Investment: A Reanalysis of the Systematic Scientific Literature Review" proved the SAT Myth to be patently false. All scientific studies on the effectiveness of SAT test preparation courses were analyzed to find SAT prep's true effectiveness (the average point change per hour). The scientific studies complete with both known average point change and known average course length (complete scientific studies) yielded an average gain of 3.29 points per hour with the independent complete scientific studies yielding an average gain of 6.42 points per hour and the College Board/ETS complete scientific studies yielding an average gain of 2.84 points per hour.

For many decades, the two most prominent prep companies have been Kaplan and the Princeton Review. Kaplan began as a 64 hour course in 1946 (a 3.5 month course) and Princeton Review is on the historical record as being a 64 hour course at least as early as 1992 (a 1.5 month course), if not beginning with its creation in 1981. The recent research reveals that a 64 hour course yields an average gain of 210.56 points per the analysis of all complete scientific studies and 410.88 points when only considering the independent complete scientific studies. Many of the US's most famous universities have since outlawed the SAT.

Nevertheless, the war on science persists, perpetuated by many of the US's most famous and most illegitimate universities who continue to use the SAT for admission. Not even the forces of the Universe itself have been enough to bring these organizations to heel. A sign of the times.

Children Newscasters Ages 6 and Up Teach Kids about the Taliban, Gay Rights.

Houston, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/28/2021 -- Annabel, a middle school student in the State of Washington just launched a news show for kids called 'Extinction Status.' Annabel wants "to change the world by spreading awareness of endangered species." Ryan, a teen in New Hampshire and the Founding Artistic Director of The Fletcher Family Theatre, is launching a show called Gen Z on Gen Z. In his words: 'Gen Z on Gen Z is an interactive, biweekly news show for middle and high schoolers focusing on current events that relate to the future of Gen Z.' His first episode tackles the age-old issue of school dress codes.

Annabel and Ryan are just two of about ten children who take the news seriously and are reaching out to their peers and beyond through a new season of LittleNewsEars.com, a streaming news for kids platform, to provoke change. Noopur, a middle school student in California, is soon launching a show about politics and the arts that she calls 'Numtium.' Each episode will feature an original song that teaches kids about current events; her first episode will put a spotlight onto The Taliban. Addelyn, a middle school student in Australia who describes herself as 'passionate about politics and hopes to make a difference,' has just launched a show that teaches kids what LGBTQ stands for and why it is wrong to discriminate against this community. Taylor, based in the UK, warns about the effects of climate change and will teach kids in October about the situation in Afghanistan. She writes, "I believe that Taylor's News, Facts, and Fun can help young learners because it teaches them real world things that are important to learn about. Taking young learners and creating them into young leaders!"

The vision of these children to change the world matches that of Dan Buck, curator of the news for kids on this website and assistant principal by day in Houston. Buck wants to bring what he calls 'kid journalism' back into schools. "In the 1970s and 1980s schools used to actively teach current events--I remember vividly learning about the Challenger disaster as it happened as a ten year-old. I've been in education as a teacher and school leader for almost twenty years and almost nobody--Robert Pondiscio is the only one I know of--cares about teaching kids about current events in a real way. The Newseum in DC is dead. Elizabeth Holmes is on trial for lying and five year-olds aren't learning about it in schools. What's more important than teaching kids the value of telling the truth?"

Not all the kids (or adult newscasters on the site) have political or paradigm-shifting topics. Jordyn, a 9 year-old in Chicago, has just launched a show for kids about fashion news. She hopes to teach kids the wonders of chokers in her first episode. Zoe, a young teen in Australia, teaches kids about 'what is hot and what is not' (Squishmallows: hot, unicorn onesies: not). Addie, a 6 year-old in Florida, gushes about sea turtles while emphasizing how important it is for kids to stay happy and feel good about themselves.

All of these children, of course, couldn't do what they do without the help of a trusted adult. But the whole group is united in the belief that you can never be too young to make a difference. Ryan says, 'My aim is to engage a young audience in topics that are going to affect their futures: the economy, the government, the environment, [and] human rights. We need a large and diverse group of powerful young voices to get involved so that we can create change in the future."

It might be working. A reporter from The Daily Beast has just reached out to LittleNewsEars.com to mentor one of the young journalists.

New York, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/20/2021 -- New York Fashion Week(NYFW) is back and more viral than ever. Fashion has proven time and again that it isn't immune to societal issues. This season as NYFW stomps out across the city, socially distancing itself from Spring Studios to Battery Park, Supermodels Unlimited Magazine(SU) is taking a moment to kneel down and lace up their ballet heels to remind us that not everything should return to normal. There are some injustices that need to end, and what better time to shine a light on these travesties than while the world is healing and learning from its missteps. SU feels every designer should be given a moment to shine, no matter their skin color, or neighborhood. "Diversity in fashion is a celebration of talents and design amongst a community of representation that allows every person to see someone like them have a big moment while showing strength in coming together, to display the beauty in all types of individuals. Diversity is key to true worldly influence and connection," says Jordan Kimball from The Bachelorette, & Bachelor in Paradise. "The stage should always mirror the audience."

SU is proudly focused on helping to provide resources, media support, and new opportunities through the SU - Diversity in Design Scholarship.

Joining Haynes are designers Kelly Dempsey from Project Runway, and Andrea Vasquez from Pinkapple Dresses. The show will feature a live street art installation that is painted live on the runway, by acclaimed graffiti street artist Lesn101, while the models use their fashions to speak out in their custom designs from Dempsey. Confirmed special guests included famed actor and musician Christian 'King' Combs, along with numerous celebrity models on the runway this season including: Kasey Cohen from Below Deck, and Laura Kirkpatrick from America's Next Top Model.

SU has curated a collective group of strong designer voices to inspire and motivate, encouraging this generation to stand up to social injustice and make choices that matter. "In a world that's rapidly changing, I think we need to stand together with love, respect and compassion. We hope to accomplish a show that signifies diversity and humanity while admiring the art, fashion and music that unite us as a community. I want our future generation to know that it's okay to be different. Being unique is cool. Let's put aside our judgements and turn our differences into a celebration," says Kimberly Clark, publisher and editor-in-chief of Supermodels Unlimited Magazine. "Let's spread this imperative message...diversity rocks!"

SU has put together an epic live music showdown that is not to be missed, and the secret celebrity performer will not disappoint. SU will conclude the showcase portion of the evening, with a formal check presentation for one lucky scholarship recipient, and a champagne reception from 8-9PM.

Los Angeles, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/17/2021 -- "This is not just a style guide; this is a lifestyle guide...Like a warm hug from a good friend, this book wraps you up into a world where you become the best version of yourself." - Emily Lauren Dick, Body Image Expert and Author of Body Positive: A Guide to Loving Your Body

After spending about two decades in the Fashion Industry, Laurie Brucker Amerikaner has been through it all! Dispelling style misconceptions, building her own business, and learning to love her unique self when she never felt like "the other girls." In her new book, You Are The Style! An Every Girl's Guide to Getting Dressed, Building Confidence, and Shining from the Inside Out, Laurie teaches women that creating a wardrobe you love begins with learning to love yourself—exactly as you are, no matter where you are in life.

In a recent television interview, Laurie talks about her experience writing the first draft of her book while pregnant and the body image challenges that came with this new chapter in her life: "I realized what I wrote in the book already was the answers to the things that I was really struggling with. And it was needing to get dressed, showing up for me, taking that time for me, the self-love for me, the body love, for the change you go through…The book became the medicine that helped me out of my post-partum state."

You Are The Style! teaches everything from how to shift your mindset when it comes to clothing, to how to find love and compassion for yourself and your body and how to be inspired by and in life. Pair that empowering knowledge with the technical tools of how to easily clean and organize your closet with care, build an outfit that feels effortlessly stylish, cultivate confidence in your own self-expression, and, most importantly, manifest your best life through the daily action of getting dressed.

Laurie hopes to empower women whether they are returning to the office or continue working from home, whether they've welcomed a new chapter in their life, or they are ready to embrace a fresh start, especially after the all the changes we have experienced in our lives over the last year. Your style is already within you, and your style can become your superpower.

San Fransisco, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/17/2021 -- "It is no exaggeration to call the identity of the Zodiac Killer the most maddening unsolved crime in American history...But it is also no exaggeration to say that Mike Rodelli's case stands above them all" - Tom Zoellner, Author and Former Reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle

In June 1999, Mike Rodelli had an idea that had never occurred to a generation of detectives in the San Francisco Bay Area, leading him on a twenty-year odyssey to prove the identity of the Zodiac Killer.

In the Shadow of Mt. Diablo: The Shocking True Identity of the Zodiac Killer, most recently featured in the San Francisco Chronicle by reporter Kevin Fagan, is filled with new information about the mystery.

Rodelli's book is currently receiving high ratings by readers, as well as tremendous editorial reviews by such true-crime luminaries as Dr. Cyril Wecht, the world-renowned former Medical Examiner of Allegheny County, PA; vaunted NYPD Homicide Detective Vernon Geberth, who is the author of the highly regarded police training textbook, Practical Homicide Investigation; and retired SFPD Homicide Insp., Vince Repetto, lead investigator on the Zodiac case for the Department in the 1990s and who personally lobbied the Chief of Police to read the report on Rodelli's suspect in 2012.

As an amateur detective, Rodelli was determined to prove that one of the wealthiest and most politically powerful entrepreneurs in San Francisco was also the city's most notorious serial killer. With fresh eyes, he provides readers with new information about this case, including a new perspective on the DNA in the Zodiac case and on behavioral profiling of the killer.

Vince Repetto, notes that, "Mr. Rodelli lays out a concise retelling of the Zodiac's murders, and the evidence associated with the crime scenes and the victims. He lures the reader along, with one circumstantial link after another, eventually pointing to [Rodelli's suspect] as the Zodiac murderer. Has Mike Rodelli solved the Zodiac murders? After reading his book many will believe he has."

Rodelli provides the reader with an objectively researched, fully documented book that is meticulously footnoted, and shows that, against all odds, he has solved a case many said would never yield its dark secrets.

To this day, ciphers of the Zodiac killer are being decoded, leading to more information that was unknown during the case. As new ciphers are cracked, the relevance of the famed Zodiac killer still remains, and will continue until all the clues are solved.

Mr. Rodelli's story has been covered in several articles in the San Francisco Chronicle, beginning with reporter Tom Zoellner's feature article in October 2000, followed by reporter Charlie Goodyear's April 2004 article and others. In addition, Rodelli was interviewed in May 2019 for a yet to be released, untitled documentary on the Zodiac case that is being Executive Produced by Oscar-winner Laura Poitras.

In The Shadow of Mt. Diablo: The Shocking True Identity of the Zodiac Killer is available now at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and anywhere that books are sold.

About Mike Rodelli
Mike Rodelli was born in Woodside, Queens, New York. In the 1960s he spent a good part of his youth playing sports in schoolyards. Rodelli holds a BA in biology from Montclair State University and a master's degree in biological oceanography from the University of Rhode Island.

Since 2000, Rodelli's research on the Zodiac has been covered in several articles in the San Francisco Chronicle. In 2002 he appeared on the ABC News program Primetime Thursday. In May 2018 his book, The Hunt for Zodiac: The Inconceivable Double Life of a Notorious Serial Killer, was the subject of an article in the Los Angeles Review of Books by Tom Zoellner, The Serial Killer as a Marketing Genius.

In addition, Rodelli was a contributor with screen credit on the acclaimed 2007 feature film, Zodiac, by David Fincher/Warner Brothers, which starred Robert Downey, Jr. and Jake Gyllenhaal.

Rodelli currently lives in Atlantic City, NJ. When not chasing serial killers, he is an avid New York Mets and Rangers fan. He enjoys tackling the Sunday New York Times crossword and occasionally declares victory over it. Rodelli also reads voraciously and eclectically and is working on two new true-crime books.
