Modello is the true story from beginning to end of how Dr. Roger Mills and staff accomplished the "miracle" in the Modello and Homestead Gardens Housing Projects, applying the Three Principles/Health Realization approach based on a new spiritual psychology. Through extensive interviews with residents as well as Dr. Mills, his staff and other professionals, a very compelling and moving portrait is painted of how two low-income, inner-city housing projects replete with violence, crack, drug gangs, abuse, welfare dependency and hopelessness were completely turned around within two-and-a-half years. This book shows how people who lived in the most difficult circumstances were reached, came to find hope and changed their lives. "In all my years in prevention I have never seen this level of change in people!" It is a truly inspirational story. The lives of people on whom society has given up were completely turned around. At the same time it is a sociological study. It shows how a new and different inside-out, spiritual paradigm, which on the surface seems too simple and backwards to possibly work in such overwhelming conditions, can produce incredible results and create changes in people's lives that stand head and shoulders above the traditional outside-in paradigm for prevention, human services, social work, community development and education. It has vast implications for improving humanity's social ills.About the Author:Jack Pransky, Ph.D. is founder/director of the Center for Inside-Out Understanding. He authored the books, Somebody Should Have Told Us!: Simple Truths for Living Well, Parenting from the Heart, Prevention from the Inside-Out; Prevention: The Critical Need and co-authored Healthy Thinking/ Feeling/Doing from the Inside-Out prevention curriculum for middle school students.

Over the years since, Doug has reached out to other gay men coming to terms with their sexuality in mid-life, acting as peer counselor and coach.
Charlie Mullins, a divorced executive at a large company, falls in love with a woman who he initially doesn't know could destroy his entire career. Charlie is convinced that she is his true soul mate and will not give her up even though it would mean the loss of his job and career if it became public knowledge. The company he works for has military defense contracts and he would not be given a security clearance once his relationship to Gina was known. He will have to choose between the woman and his career. While he faces this choice, a couple of busybody housewives from the small town in which he was raised and still lives have taken to stalking him because of his secret relationship and their interest in marrying him off to a local woman. They feel threatened by his behavior, and their response threatens his ability to keep the relationship secret while he devises a plan to marry the woman of his dreams. If the relationship becomes known before Charlie is ready and has worked out his plan, all will be lost. About the Author: This is Jim Wygand's third book and his first novel. Jim is a business consultant who has worked in and with large corporations during his long and varied career. In his first novel, Jim has pitted parochial small town gossips against the desire for privacy of a native son and the inner workings and politics of a large multinational corporation. The admixture could prove disastrous to Charlie Mullins and his professional and personal plans.
Age was only an illusionary figure in Elleta Nolte's life, not to be taken seriously. She enrolled at age 71 as a freshman at a prestigious university from which six of her nine children graduated. At age 89, she earned a Degree in General Studies and graduated with her granddaughter Rebecca. Elleta is a writer of regional history, but this, her eighth book, is a departure from that norm, for at her graduation, many people of all ages said to her, "You need to tell people what you did and what they can do, that age can have a positive effect on their lives." Her book, Indeed You Can, is that telling, as she relates many of the humorous and profound details of her learning experience: "I greeted each day on campus as a new beginning-the best of the rest of my life. I felt forty of my years melt away when I set foot amid the rushing, bustling aura of the campus filled with the leaders of tomorrow. I wasn't a finished product; in my heart I was young again, anxious to test new ground and gain new knowledge." Elleta's offbeat sense of humor welcomed the campus comments: from her professor in her electronic media class who said, "I never knew I'd have a student older than radio," to the students who asked, "Why would you want to do that... What are you going to be when you grow up?" Elleta's words are for all ages in all roles of life. May they inspire you to use the strength and talents that are uniquely yours to enter a world of change in your routine, to not place your mind on hold, but place it on roam to set new goals and follow new paths, to add a little daring to your life, a few what ifs...what if I... Indeed you can. About the Author: Elleta Nolte is a writer of regional history in the forms of books, articles, and presentations and an advocate of learning. After the sixth of her nine children graduated from Texas Tech University, she enrolled as a freshman at age 71. She graduated with a Bachelor of General Studies in 2008 at the age of 89. Elleta lives in Lubbock, Texas and is mother of nine children and a multitude of grandchildren. She and her husband Quenton shared a love for 63 years until his death a year before her graduation. She is still learning and writing.
Charming young spanking enthusiast Amanda Sands begins her college education in Boston, but not before making a pilgrimage to Random Point, to surprise magazine publisher Hugo Sands with the fact of her existence. Completely disarmed by the engaging coed, Hugo not only helps Amanda get connected in the scene, but also verges on being a bad influence on the well-bred and willowy blonde. Laid siege to by the alpha males in her dorm, the intelligent Amanda knows what she likes and selects only those young men who seem likely to turn a girl over a knee. Playing at school with her classmates and at large in Boston and out on the cape with more seasoned dominant men, Amanda begins piling up enough spanking adventures to keep an extremely racy diary, which the reader will follow with interest. Amanda's friend Thalia develops a strong crush on Hugo that resolves itself in bad behavior all around and seriously impedes Hugo's campaign to win Laura Random's hand. Meanwhile, Amanda artfully pulls the strings of her most unlikely suitor, a gruff Harvard jock that suffers keenly at her whim until the day the tables turn. The tenth volume in the Shadow Lane series abounds in traditional over the knee spanking, luxurious fetishism, seductive repartee, virile sexuality and irrepressible romance. About the Author: In Random Point, everything is linked to spanking and this is true for the author of the Shadow Lane novels as well. Eve Howard has been writing and producing spanking erotica since the 1980's. Eve has written, directed and produced over 150 spanking videos. Female-friendly and designed to make people feel good, rather than guilty, about being into spanking, Eve suggests an irreverent alternative to the all or nothing B&D subculture portrayed in such beloved classics as The Story of O. Many spanking fans have discovered the real life spanking scene by following the same patterns of social networking as described in the Shadow Lane novels. And for almost twenty years, Eve's company Shadow Lane has been one of the primary social organs of the real life spanking scene. There are ten titles in the Shadow Lane series and Eve is currently working on a pictorial publication called Shadow Lane's Art of Spanking. She lives with her husband Tony Elka and their cats in Las Vegas.
