  Mountain Laurels is the first published collection of poems written by Genevieve C. Sparks over many years in what she calls "the simple form of mountain colloquial." While some individual poems draw their meaning from a personal experience of the poet, "the basic thought of the book in its entirety is," she says, "the great inspiration derived from the love of nature. God placed the beauty of nature with especially natural grace in the wild and wonderful mountains of the Appalachian ranges." All of her poems speak the wonders of the Appalachian mountain world.

  Every sixty-nine seconds, someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Of the top ten killers, it is the only disease for which there is no cure or treatment. For most people, there is nothing that they can do to fight back. But one family is doing all they can.The DeMoe family has the most devastating form of the disease that there is: early onset Alzheimer's, an inherited genetic mutation that causes the disease in 100 percent of cases, and has a 50 percent chance of being passed onto the next generation. Of the six DeMoe children whose father had it, five have inherited the gene; the sixth, Karla, has inherited responsibility for all of them. But rather than give up in the face of such news, the DeMoes have agreed to spend their abbreviated years as part of a worldwide study that could utterly change the landscape of Alzheimer's research and offers the brightest hope for future treatments-and possibly a cure.Drawing from several years of in-depth research with this charming and upbeat family, journalist Niki Kapsambelis tells the story of Alzheimer's through the humanizing lens of these ordinary people made extraordinary by both their terrible circumstances and their bravery.

  Mandatory vaccines are nothing new, we all had to line up for polio shots, MMR shots, and a host of other vaccines before we were allowed to go to school, and with good reason. However, the Mandatory COVID shots and boosters do not fit into this category. They were not properly vetted, and we are now seeing many cases where they did more harm than good. 
  Viruses are living things that mutate and evolve by the hour, so the perfect vaccine to stop any virus is not even remotely possible. A bacteria can be stopped with an anti-biotic, but viruses need to simply run their course. Vaccines to not kill viruses, they introduce a weakened form of it to prepare the body's immune system to fight the pathogen should I ever enter the body. 
  Ultimately, it is your own immune system that will stop COVID, and not any variant vaccine. If the individual's immune system is compromised, the vaccine can actually do more harm that good. 
  Learn how the body responds to all bacteria and viruses, and how to prepare your self for any pathogen, and build stronger health in the process. The body hasn't changed much in the last 10,000 years, learn the basics and you may never get sick again.
