Even though more than 2.5 million people have received hip replacement surgery, when a professional athlete undergoes surgery, their dreams and career can be changed in an instant. Imagine hearing that you’d never be able to compete again, or in Darla Davies' case, dance professionally. For competitive ballroom dancer and national champion Darla Davies, these words from a top orthopedic surgeon crushed her spirit, her livelihood, and her dreams for athletic victory. To her credit, Darla wasn’t standing still for any of that talk. Darla’s journey to recover from degenerative joint disease with hip replacement surgery plus heal not only her physical body but also psychologically prep herself for a grueling journey back to the dance floor is chronicled in Who Said I’d Never Dance Again? A Journey from Hip Replacement Surgery to Athletic Victory. (Morgan James Publishing; March 5, 2019; Trade Paperback; $17.95). More than a memoir from a champion athlete, this book is a positive plan for finding the best doctor for your needs. Plus, Darla explains how to understand fully about the diagnosis, process, surgery, physical recovery, and the secrets of sports psychology behind a dramatic recovery that leads back to an active life.

In the pages of her book, Darla Davies shares her exciting life as a top competitive ballroom dancer and the physical toll it takes on her athletic body. In addition, she shares the early warning signs she experienced in her late forties that her hips were deteriorating and the type of pain and leg weakness she endured in her early fifties that finally convinced her that it was time to seek medical help. Darla tells of her first doctor appointment and the devastating news that she’d never be able to do competitive dance again. Faced with surgery and uncertainty, she could have given up, but instead Darla chose to fight for her passion, her hip, and her championship title.

Everyone is trying to crack the code for how to effectively manage and work alongside Millennials.

The world’s largest generation, they will make up 75% of the workforce by 2030. In The Millennial

Whisperer (February 12 th , Morgan James Publishing), 38-year-old ad executive Chris Tuff provides

practical strategies that are real-world tested and research-based in order to engage and retain

Millennial workers. He shows companies how to improve culture and morale while increasing

profitability.

The youngest to make partner at the century-old advertising agency, 22squared, Tuff understands what

makes Millennials tick in the work force and offers ways to bridge gaps in communication between

Millennials and the rest of the workforce. An “out-of-the-box” thinker, Tuff encourages employers to

create an environment that fosters creativity and comfort between employees and managers, including:

 Managers following and commenting on employees’ social media

 Supporting the entrepreneurial spirit of Millennials and showing approval for–and even offering

advice on–their “side-hustle”

 Encouraging employees to pursue passion projects, such as giving them “time off” to volunteer

for a cause that they support

 Rather than give a straight-out bonus to employees, instead buy them something personal like

concert tickets to one’s favorite group

Chris is available to speak about the following topics:

 How many Millennial myths are inaccurate, leading to misunderstandings and mismanagement

 Motivating and incentivizing young workers

 Building a corporate culture in which Millennials can thrive

 Identifying, training, and empowering leaders to get the most out of Millennials at their

companies

 Establishing effective rewards system (at lower costs than existing ones)

 Designing career track options that motivate Millennials and keep top performers from leaving

"In the post-#MeToo era, Joe Biden’s strange lack of personal boundaries, particularly around women, no longer appears so innocuous—the sort of cringey, old-man quirk worthy of jokey slideshows and late-night compilation videos.

(The Daily Show famously produced a segment on Biden’s proclivity for invading women’s personal space entitled “The Audacity of Grope.”) So perhaps it was only a matter of time, with Biden contemplating another run for president, that a fresh allegation of unwanted touching would prompt a ferocious, Twitter-wide reassessment of the beloved former vice president."

Potential 2020 Democratic hopeful Pete Buttigieg, the openly gay mayor of South Bend, Indiana, delivered a pointed message for Vice President Mike Pence on Sunday, telling him to raise his objections with the gay community with God.

Buttigieg, in a speech at LGBTQ Victory Fund National Champagne Brunch in Washington, D.C., referenced the vice president's less-than-welcoming attitude toward members of the LGBTQ community when discussing his marriage to his husband Chasten. He called marriage equality a moral issue, saying his marriage of two years has made him a "better human being."

"My marriage to Chasten has made me a better man and yes, Mr. Vice President, it has moved me closer to God," said Buttigieg, a devout Episcopalian.

"The White House said Thursday that Democratic efforts to obtain President Donald Trump’s tax records are “political games.”

A House committee chairman formally asked the IRS Wednesday to provide six years of Trump’s personal tax returns and the returns for some of his businesses as Democrats try to shed light on his complex financial dealings and potential conflicts of interest.

The request by Massachusetts Rep. Richard Neal, who heads the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, is the first such demand for a sitting president’s tax information in 45 years. The unprecedented move is likely to set off a huge legal battle between Democrats controlling the House and the Trump administration.

Neal made the request Wednesday in a letter to IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig, asking for Trump’s personal and business returns for 2013 through 2018. He asked for the documents in seven days, setting an April 10 deadline."
