Synopsis

Scissors Cut Clean explores the fascinating history and design evolution of scissors, transforming our understanding of this seemingly simple cutting tool. From ancient Egypt, where early scissor-like tools emerged around 1500 BCE, to modern surgical and industrial applications, the book traces how necessity and ingenuity shaped their form and function. Early scissors were not pivot-based but resembled tweezers; the invention of the pivot was a pivotal moment, enabling greater control and cutting force. The book progresses chronologically, beginning with archaeological evidence of the earliest forms and moving through the Roman Empire, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance, highlighting regional variations and manufacturing techniques. Readers will discover how scissor design reflects broader technological and societal progress. The book shows how scissors are a microcosm of tool evolution, influencing industries from textile production to hairdressing, and emphasizing the human element in design.

    Too often, all oppressed people in America are lumped together under the moniker people of color, as if each group's experience under the yoke of systemic racism has the same economic and social repercussions. But the American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS) hold a unique claim to economic and reparative justice: for ADOS, after all, is the only group whose ancestors were forcibly brought to America, enslaved, built much of the wealth of the country, yet continue to be specifically excluded from the same social, political, and economic rights of other Americans. To that end, Rev. Dr. Kevin W. Cosby lays out the first theology of the ADOS movement, turning the traditional lens of Black liberation theology from Moses leading escaped Hebrew slaves in Exodus to other biblical leaders like Solomon, Daniel, and Nehemiah. 
     
     
     
    In the stories of Nehemiah and other biblical leaders, Cosby finds inspiration on how to rebuild Black America including the necessity of government reparations for ADOS. Cosby calls all Americans to move from a place of relative nonengagement and detachment to a place of active support of ADOS's efforts for justice and healing.

    Social media has become an inseparable part of modern life. What started as a way to connect with friends and share moments has evolved into a global phenomenon that influences how we think, feel, and behave. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter are no longer just tools for communication—they are powerful forces shaping our identities, relationships, and daily habits. While social media offers many benefits, including instant access to information, networking opportunities, and entertainment, its darker side often goes unnoticed. The reality is that millions of people around the world are unknowingly trapped in an endless cycle of scrolling, liking, and seeking validation.  
      
    The term "social media addiction" might sound extreme, but it is a growing concern among psychologists, neuroscientists, and everyday users who find themselves unable to put their phones down. Unlike traditional addictions to substances like alcohol or drugs, social media addiction operates in a subtler yet equally powerful way. It hijacks the brain’s reward system, triggering dopamine releases that keep users engaged for hours on end. Every notification, like, or comment acts as a small hit of pleasure, reinforcing compulsive behavior. Over time, this leads to dependency, making it difficult for individuals to disconnect even when they recognize the negative impact on their mental health, relationships, and productivity.  
      
    This book explores the shocking truth about social media addiction, diving deep into the science behind it, its effects on our well-being, and what we can do to regain control. From the psychological tricks used by tech companies to keep us engaged to the rising concerns about mental health, self-esteem, and attention spans, each chapter sheds light on an issue that affects people of all ages.

    Three Hot & Steamy First Time MM Gay Experiences. 
      
    PSA: These stories contain man on man seduction, palms on shafts, mouths on heads, self-man-pleasure, and sweet, sweet first time back door lovin’. Sometimes – double occupancy is a must. 
      
    Jacked By My Friends: 
    Straight guys don’t get hand jobs from other men, right. 
    That’s what Jay thought, too. The boys are back together and headed to an island resort to catch some big waves — no ladies allowed. Jay is going to throw it all to the wind — he’s ready for his first time experience with the boys. 
    But, now there’s two of them: Can he take them both at once? Can his mouth and rear hold up to the pressure? 
    Seduced by My Frat Brother: 
    Wayne had been fighting his attractions to other men for some time now. But, can he hold up against a deliberate seduction? 
    The rest of his frat brothers are away with the football team. It’s just him and Saul – and Saul makes his intentions known. There is one straight man in the frat house that Saul wants to convert. 
    What man can resist beer paired with roses? 
      
    Stiff Ride: 
    I knew I was in the wrong bar in the wrong part of town. 
    I didn’t care. Curiosity is what made me want to feel a man inside me for the first time, but that it was something much stronger that had me parked outside this biker’s bar tonight. I didn’t belong here with my expensive loafers and hair gel, but the deep throated rumble of that bike as he turned the corner? No, I didn’t care if I didn’t belong. 
    His tight shirt clung to his body. His chaps kept my eyes glued to that perfectly outlined package. Oh yeah, I wasn’t just curious. I knew what would happen when I walked into that bar… at least I thought I did. I can tell you right now, I didn’t think I’d be pinned to the pool table. 
    Am I really ready for my first time to be a rough, hard ride?

    Jewish festivals hold deep spiritual, historical, and cultural significance, shaping the rhythm of Jewish life throughout the year. These celebrations serve as a connection between past and present, uniting Jewish communities across the world through shared rituals, prayers, and traditions. Each festival carries its own unique themes, but all emphasize the importance of faith, remembrance, and community. 
    The Jewish calendar follows a lunar system, which means festival dates shift each year in relation to the Gregorian calendar. Despite these variations, the observance of these holidays remains steadfast, passed down through generations as a way of preserving Jewish identity and values. Many festivals commemorate pivotal moments in Jewish history, such as the Exodus from Egypt, the rededication of the Holy Temple, and the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. Others focus on agricultural cycles, linking modern Jewish life to ancient traditions of gratitude and sustenance. 
    At the heart of every Jewish festival lies a deeper meaning beyond the rituals. Festivals often revolve around themes of renewal, redemption, and divine connection. For example, Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is a time of introspection and new beginnings, while Yom Kippur calls for atonement and spiritual purification. Passover celebrates the liberation of the Israelites from slavery, reinforcing the value of freedom and justice. Hanukkah, though a minor festival in religious significance, highlights resilience and faith through the story of the Maccabees.
