    When Nashville identified its first case of coronavirus in March 2020, the city was between Public Health Department directors and as unprepared as the rest of the world for what was to come. Dr. Alex Jahangir, a trauma surgeon acting at that time as chair of the Metro Nashville Board of Health, unexpectedly found himself head of the city's COVID-19 Task Force and responsible for leading it through uncharted waters. 
     
     
     
    What followed was a year of unprecedented challenge and scrutiny. Jahangir, who immigrated to the United States from Iran at age six, grew up in Nashville. He thought he knew the city well. But the pandemic laid bare ethnic, racial, and cultural tensions that daily threatened to derail what should have been a collective effort to keep residents healthy and safe. 
     
     
     
    Hot Spot is Jahangir's narrative of the first year of COVID, derived from his op notes (the journal-like entries surgeons often keep following operations) and expanded to include his personal reflections and a glimpse into the inner sanctums of city and state governance in crisis.

    DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
    This is a summary, & it does not accompany the official 
    In 'Elon Musk' by Walter Isaacson, the book explores the complex and fascinating life of Elon Musk, the visionary entrepreneur. From his troubled childhood in South Africa, where he faced both physical and emotional challenges, to his rise as the richest man on earth in 2022, Musk's journey is one of resilience and ambition. 
    Musk's father, an engineer with a charismatic yet rogue personality, left a lasting impact on his psyche. This influence shaped Musk into a tough and vulnerable individual, marked by mood swings, a high tolerance for risk, a penchant for drama, an unwavering sense of purpose, and an intense, sometimes callous, drive. 
    Isaacson, who spent two years closely shadowing Musk, presents an inside story filled with triumphs and turmoil. The book raises thought-provoking questions about whether the demons that have driven Musk are also the driving forces behind innovation and progress. It offers a revealing glimpse into the life of one of the most influential and enigmatic figures of our time.

    In this long-overdue celebration of Black women’s resilience and unheralded strength, the revered, trailblazing White House correspondent reflects on “The Year That Changed Everything”—2020—and African-American women’s unprecedented role in upholding democracy. 
    “I am keenly aware that everyone and everything has a story,” April D. Ryan acknowledges. “Also, I have always marveled at Black women and how we work to move mountains and are never really thanked or recognized.” In Black Women Will Save the World, she melds these two truths, creating an inspiring and heart-tugging portrait of one of the momentous years in America, 2020—when America elected its first Black woman Vice President—and celebrates the tenacity, power, and impact of Black women across America. 
    From the beginning of the nation to today, Black women have transformed their pain into progress and have been at the frontlines of the nation’s political, social, and economic struggles. These “Sheroes” as Ryan calls them, include current political leaders such as Maxine Waters, Valerie Jarrett, and Kamala Harris; Brittany Packnett Cunningham, LaTosha Brown, and other activists; and artists like Regina King. Combining profiles and in-depth interviews with these influential movers and shakers and many more, Ryan explores the challenges Black women endure, and how the lessons they’ve learned can help us shape our own stories. Ryan also chronicles her personal journey from working-class Baltimore to the elite echelons of journalism and speaks out about the hurdles she faced in becoming one of the most well-connected members of the Washington press corps—while raising two daughters as a single mother in the aftermath of a messy divorce. 
    It is time for everyone to acknowledge Black women’s unrivaled contributions to America. Yet our democracy remains in peril, and their work is far from done. Black Women Will Save the World presents a vital kaleidoscopic look at women of different ages and from diverse backgrounds who devote their lives to making the world a better place—even if that means stepping out of their “place.”

    The rise of financial scams has become a significant concern in today’s increasingly interconnected world. As technology advances and digital platforms become more integrated into our daily lives, scammers have found new ways to deceive individuals, businesses, and even governments. The ability to access information at our fingertips has made us more vulnerable to various types of fraud, ranging from phishing emails and fake investments to elaborate Ponzi schemes. With the sheer volume of scams being reported worldwide, it’s no longer just a matter of financial loss—it’s also about the emotional and psychological toll these scams take on their victims. 
      
    Understanding scams is critical not only for safeguarding your finances but also for protecting your peace of mind. As a society, we are more connected than ever, making it easier for scammers to exploit trust and manipulate personal relationships. Whether it’s through fraudulent phone calls, emails, or social media platforms, the perpetrators of these crimes are constantly adapting, finding new ways to appear legitimate and convincing. For many victims, the experience is not just about losing money; it’s about the violation of trust and the sense of betrayal that comes from being deceived. 
      
    The growing impact of financial scams on society is undeniable. They leave lasting consequences that extend far beyond the immediate monetary losses. Scams are not only affecting individuals but are also putting pressure on financial institutions, law enforcement, and regulators. In many cases, scams have become so sophisticated that even the most cautious and informed individuals can fall prey to them. The emotional damage and trauma caused by financial scams are significant and often linger long after the financial recovery is complete.

    The Widow Chose Red? - My...

    “She stood at his service wearing red. Not in defiance, not in denial – but in love. Because grief is not just sorrow; it is the bold echo of a love that never fades. And red is not just a color – it is the flame of the Holy Spirit and the fire that refuses to be extinguished.” 
    When Rachel Kerr Schneider lost her husband, the world expected her to mourn in black – to withdraw, to disappear into sorrow. But she made a different choice. She wore red. Not because she wasn’t grieving, but because love – real love – is too vibrant, too deep, too enduring to be cloaked in darkness. And because red, the color of fire, is the color of the Holy Spirit – the every-present force that carried her through the valley of grief and into a future she never imagined. 
    This is not just a memoir about loss – it is a story of resilience, faith, and the bold, sometimes unexpected ways we learn to live again. For anyone who has ever faced heartbreak and wondered if joy was still possible, The Widow Chose Red is a testament to the truth that even in sorrow, life still shines – and the Spirit still burns. 
    “Rachel has a quiet strength that’s hard to describe but impossible to miss. Even when life dealt her the hardest blow imaginable, she walked through it with faith and dignity that inspired everyone around her. 
    “This book is more than a story about loss—it’s about love, faith, and resilience.”
