We Are in This Together to Survive! Just Do the Right Thing By: Dr. Donald Salem Following over four decades of research and study, it became clear what the real dangers are to our way of life. Anyone who has any stake in our precious society should read this. The first two volumes, We Are in This Together! and We are in This Together, Our Weaknesses Identified, laid the critical groundwork for a clear understanding of why we must strengthen our society for our children and our children’s children. Survival demands participation of many citizens who truly value the benefits of upward mobility, equality before the law, and of exceptionalism seen in the USA and Israel. This is not about perfection but evolution. There is a light at the end of this turbulent tunnel. But there is not an automatic light switch. We are responsible for turning on the light for everyone. In We Are in This Together to Survive! Just Do the Right Thing, Donald Salem uncovers the frozen thinking that has numbed and immobilized us.
A scandalously talented stage performer, a practiced seductress of both men and women, and the flamboyant author of some of the greatest works of twentieth-century literature, Colette was our first true superstar. Now, in Judith Thurman's Secrets of the Flesh, Colette at last has a biography worthy of her dazzling reputation. Having spent her childhood in the shadow of an overpowering mother, Colette escaped at age twenty into a turbulent marriage with the sexy, unscrupulous Willy--a literary charlatan who took credit for her bestselling Claudine novels. Weary of Willy's sexual domination, Colette pursued an extremely public lesbian love affair with a niece of Napoleon's. At forty, she gave ...
This dictionary contains data not only on the origins of French surnames in Québec and Acadia, a great many of which eventually spread to many parts of North America, but also on those which arrived in the United States directly from various French-speaking European and Caribbean countries. In addition to providing the etymology of the original surnames, it also lists the multifarious variants that have developed over the last four centuries. A unique feature of this work in comparison to other onomastics dictionaries is the inclusion of genealogical information on most of the Francophone migrants to this continent, something which has been rendered possible not only by the excellent record-keeping in French Canada since the very beginnings of the colony, but also through the explosion of such data on the internet in the last couple of decades. In sum, this dictionary serves the dual purpose of providing information on the meanings of French family names on the North American continent, as well as on the migrants who brought them there.
Gordie Tapp has been making audiences laugh for more than 60 years. Johnny Cash called him "the funniest" and Foster Brooks introduced him to President Ford as "the world's greatest story-teller." Born in London, Ontario, in 1922, he has been married to Helen for 62 years. They have four children. He graduated from Lorne Greene's Radio Arts Academy in Toronto in 1947 and helped launch a radio station in Niagara Falls. A radio pioneer, he switched from playing dance band music to country music - and never looked back. He started country music shows on television in Canada for the CBC in the late 1950s-early60s and then helped launch Hee Haw in the United States - a show that ran for more than 25 years with a weekly audience of more than 50 million - with his Cousin Clem character. Gordie loves to ride horses and Harleys and he was roller-blading until he was 82.
