Orange Grove Goes to War is a vivid account of a little boy's experiences growing up in Los Angeles on the eve of World War II. As the book opens, young Gary introduces the reader to the colorful neighbors and relatives who form a motley but loving extended family at his small apartment complex on Orange Grove. Although his mother and father and absent, leading Gary to wonder if he's an orphan, his multiple surrogate parents - including a Hollywood director and his alcoholic brother, a B-movie dancer, a vibrant Cuban emigre and a faded Southern belle - ensure he's well fed, well dressed, and fully immersed in their escapades. Gary's carefree existence is shattered in December 1941 by the dramatic announcement of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Gary must assume responsibilities beyond his years as his family scrambles to support the war effort and contends with blackouts, rationing, and fears of invasion. Gary recounts the terrifying night of the Battle of Los Angeles, when residents believed enemy bombs were falling on their city.

By turns harrowing, humorous, and wistful, Orange Grove Goes to War is both a deeply personal memoir and an ode to the city of Los Angeles from an earlier time.

This book identifies how Serguei Choukline committed fraud in the process of applying for a foreign labor force, to work in Branson, Missouri. It identifies how Serguei and his co-conspirators then, once they arrived, misused, and abused the foreign laborers. They were threatened with beatings, arrests and deportation or actually beaten if they failed to comply with Serguei's instruction. Men and women placed in apartments and small hotel rooms together with 6 to 8 persons in one room with only 2 beds and then charged each of them exuberant amounts of rent for the room. We identify how he would retain their passports and travel documents charging them if they wanted to change jobs or leave his employment and much more. This book identifies how Serguei Choukline a citizen of Russia and a Resident Alien in the United States and his co-conspirators lied to the foreign labor force to persuade them to come to and work in the United States. How Serguei lied on the applications he filed with the State of Missouri to use a foreign labor force and then to the United States Department of Labor and to the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Department of Homeland Security in the applications he filed. The applications he filed on behalf of the foreign laborer to come to and enter the United States for the purposes of working for his fraudulent and fictitious companies and for managers that didn't exist.

Just two months after my 20th birthday, I was drafted into the US Army. Before my next birthday I arrived in the former Republic of South Vietnam; it was February 1969. I have been asked countless times over the last five decades: "What was Vietnam like?" For decades I could never give much of an answer. If one is to give an answer, one must first confront their past.Going Off The Beach is the account of a conscripted, "boots on the ground" soldier and his experiences in the US Army during the Vietnam War. These experiences included twelve months in Vietnam, serving in Binh Dinh Province. The book explores the contrasts between a peaceful tropical beach overlooking the vast Pacific Ocean with the monotony, drudgery and dangers of being a foot soldier in an unpopular war. It describes the endless struggle for survival while constantly dealing with the "inner conflicts" of the US Military fighting a war they were not even trying to win. And finding love in the midst of it all."What was Vietnam like?" It's the story of what happened to 20-year-old me. It's my story of love, war, and courage.

This book is somewhat unique. I am not the author although it was written through me . He is the author not me. Why I ended up being the one to be used by Him remains a complete baffling mystery. I am simply His humble steward in this process.Everyone living in America recognizes Home Depot. They are a staple. It is a poem containing 2,500 quatrains that contain life as a part time cashier in a small Home Depot store. It is not always easy reading but it has appeal and value for anyone willing to read it.What are the takeaways? For me the greatest takeaway is humility. The people portrayed in thsi writing are far superior to me. I am not worthy to be the proverbial gum on their shoe. Their trust and friendship provided me is more valuable than gold from Ophir. They live very difficult lives in an extraordinary manner. They never had a level playing filed. they must climb Mt Everest each day.There is humor, pathos and at times Upton Sinclair type muckraking all mixed into the writing. The work shows the good and the bad of life, work and in some ways America today.

In this Treatise on the Functional Pathology of the Musculoskeletal System (FPMSS), Dr Brooks presents a new paradigm for understanding the musculoskeletal system and a scientifically valid-reliable, semiquantifiable, and consistently interpretable-method for examining dysfunction thereof. This first volume presents the fundamentals of the paradigm and is designed for use by a primary care audience. While the paradigm is applicable to the wide variety of clinical conditions potentially amenable to manual medicine and related rehabilitative techniques, this first volume takes chronic, nonspecific musculoskeletal pain syndromes as its focus for application.The FPMSS paradigm complements orthopedic, rheumatologic, and neurologic understandings of the musculoskeletal system and contrasts with current models of manual medicine in several important respects:Understands the musculoskeletal system (MSS) as an integrated organ systemDiscriminates questions about physiology from questions about anatomyDiscriminates questions about pathology from questions about physiologyDifferentiates functional pathology from structural pathologyAppreciates principles of scientifically valid nomenclature for function and dysfunction of musculoskeletal structures as components of an integrated systemRecognizes dysfunction of the musculoskeletal system as inefficient functionShifts the emphasis of examination for dysfunction from malalignment of structure/posture to disturbance of systemic movementDiscriminates control of posture and movement from imbalance of available motionGrades available motion deficits using the criterion of proportionality-not merely symmetry-thus revealing otherwise unappreciated dysfunction and allowing for prioritization and profilingPrioritizes mobilization interventions according to specified, ranked criteriaProfiles an individual's motion phenotype based upon patterns of available motion deficits, thus providing "precision" biomechanical medicineUse of the FPMSS paradigm examination will reduce the incidence of false negative and false positive findings for MSS dysfunction-thus improving the effectiveness, safety, and efficiency of caring for those suffering from chronic musculoskeletal pain.
