Don't Feed The Ducks: It Makes Them Dependent by R.S. Rood

Don't Feed the Ducks is a charming children's tale about the dangers of feeding ducks on the pond, as the ducks grow too dependent and forget how to fend for themselves!

This delightful story recounts what actually happened in Ashland, Oregon, when the townspeople fed and spoiled the ducks on the pond in the park, not understanding that their acts of love and kindness were indeed harmful. What was the amazing solution to this terrible problem?"

Don't Feed the Ducks is a wonderful metaphor for all of God's animals and people, teaching children everywhere that true love requires us to help keep them free and self-reliant as they were created to be, rather than... dependent.

The story of a whistle blower and millions in government grants..."Cover-Up!: COLLUSION IN THE HALLS OF ACADEMIA - SECOND EDITION" by Helene Z. Hill, PhD

This is a story about scientific fraud and one woman's attempt to set the record straight.

In March 2001, post-doctoral fellow Dr. Marek Lenarczyk reported to Professor Helene Z. Hill that he had found that post-doctoral fellow Dr. Anupam Bishayee had set up an experiment involving cultured mammalian cells that were contaminated with bacteria or mold. Drs Hill and Lenarczyk believed that the lab chief, Dr. Roger Howell, had great faith in Dr. Bishayee and would not believe them if they reported their observations to him at that time. They thus determined to follow the progress of the experiment to its end knowing that it could not produce reliable results. This fateful decision would set in motion twelve years of investigations by the University's Campus Committee on Research Integrity - three sittings, the US Public Health Service's Office of Research Integrity-two sittings, a qui tam Federal law suit charging violation of the False Claims Act, followed by 6 depositions by members of the department of Radiology of the NJ Medical School, 3 depositions by expert witnesses: 2 for the prosecution and one for the defense, a ruling by by the Federal District Court that there had been no violation of the False Claims Act because defendant Principle Investigator Howell had not known at the time that he filed the grant application that some of the data, produced by Bishayee, were false. Finally, a ruling for the defendants by the US Court of Appeals for the third Circuit in Philadelphia brought an end to the court case. Hill and expert witness Professor Joel Pitt now attempted to publish their findings of data fabrication and finally succeeded after 12 rejections.

Dr. Helene Z. Hill is a graduate of Smith College and received a PhD in biology from Brandeis University in 1964. She was a post-doctoral fellow at Harvard and the University of Colorado Medical Schools, and she rose through the ranks from assistant to full professor at the Medical Schools of the University of Colorado; Washington University in St. Louis; Marshall University, Huntington, West Virginia; and the New JerseyMedical School, in Newark, New Jersey. Dr. Hill has co-authored more than eighty scientific publications and was awarded the Smith College Medal in 1997. Dr. Hill retired in December 2016 and is Professor Emerita, at Rutgers-The State University of New Jersey. Dr Hill has written Hidden Data: The Blind Eye of Science CreateSpace 2016 and co-wrote with Amy Waters Yarsinske Cover-Up: Collusion in the Halls of Academia. The Crying Window: Memoir of a Woman Scientist Looking for Truth will be published in the summer

BEFORE and AFTER ISRAEL'S 9/11: Aftermath of the October 7 Catastrophe, and Rays of Hope by Helen Birnbaum

A timely narrative that chronicles the amicable bridges between Jews and Muslims that existed before the October 7 disaster, and the connections that continue to grow since this date.

A brief description is given of the October 7 (2023) attacks against Israeli civilians by terrorists from Gaza. These attacks were exceptionally brutal and triggered the vicious Israel-Gaza war. At first, world opinion sympathized with the Israeli victims, but this rapidly shifted to support for the terrorists, who had initiated the conflict. Despite the growing anti-Israel protests in the West, Arab voices began to speak up for Israel, both locally and worldwide. They warn the West about the underlying agenda of radical Islam whose first ‘port of call’ is Israel.

The repercussions and revelations of October 7 are discussed in the book, but the main focus is on the rapport between Jews and Muslims, two Peoples who are traditionally perceived as enemies.

Born and bred in South Africa.

Studied Biology. Lecturer and researcher at the university in Johannesburg before moving to Israel. Worked for twenty years in the chemical industry, specializing in the safe handling and use of pesticides and other hazardous chemicals.

The author’s first book (Healthy Body, Peaceful Mind, Awakened Spirit) focuses on holistic healing techniques, and our need to recognize and honor the body-mind-spirit continuum that makes up every human being.

More recently, her attention was captured by reports in the media about the many beneficial contacts occurring across the Jewish-Muslim ethnic divide. She noticed that the follow-up on such reports was negligible, while the headlines that screamed “violence” took center stage.

Then October 7 happened.

The October 7 terrorist attacks could have destroyed the potential for peaceful coexistence between Jews and Muslims in Israel and worldwide. However, amidst the tragedies of war, the author uncovered benevolent events that were bringing people together across the religious chasm. Thus the “good news” narrative continued, highlighting the sparks of hope manifesting as Muslims (and others) coming forth and speaking up for Israel.

The author believes that mutual respect and understanding are essential for overcoming the antipathy between these two peoples who have been at loggerheads for centuries despite sharing a common ancestry and displaying many common attributes.
