When Mike Anthony moved to New York City to become an actor, he'd imagined being under the bright lights of Broadway, living a life full of fame and fortune. Instead, he took a job not on stage for a Broadway show, but behind its bar, and found a life full of meaning. In Life At Hamilton, Mike takes us along on his journey, recounting his extraordinary experiences as Hamilton: An American Musical rocketed into Broadway history, from its unparalleled opening night, through the 2016 election, to its COVID-19 intermission. On display along the way are Mike's heartfelt and often humorous encounters with the show's patrons, including some of the most famous celebrities in the world, and its biggest (and littlest) Hamilfans. Mike's story is a testament to the potent power of theater to connect, to inspire, and to heal. For as long as there have been people, they have put on plays. Life At Hamilton reminds us why.
In the last fifteen years or so, scientists have discovered some remarkable new facts about the human brain and mind. The first is that the brain is continually changing and growing new connections. Even more remarkably, these new connections can be influenced simply by thinking in a certain way! In other words, you can change your own brain just by learning to think differently. This has profound implications for changing your life and changing your personality. The second is that psychologists at Harvard and other Universities have recently discovered that the mind actually operates as a kind of time machine, processing information from the future as well as the past. You have a "Future Memory" which gives you access to the future in the same way that "memory" gives you access to the past! This is a truly astonishing discovery. It means that when you decide to change your life, in any way, you can get information from this new future which will show you what to do to make this new future a physical reality in your life. This book describes techniques for using these new discoveries to create a new life for yourself. This information is really the "secret of success" which successful men and women have spontaneously discovered and which science has now proven. "Mind, Time and Power!" describes a new psychology for the 21st century, based on the work of Albert Einstein and incorporating these newest discoveries. This new model of consciousness allows us to do things which would be impossible with the current psychological model. We can change our past, develop new talents and abilities and attract our goals and dreams seemingly like magic. As Anthony explains in "Mind, Time and Power!," these new discoveries in cognitive psychology show not only how the law of attraction works but also how each of us can develop it.
This revised, updated edition provides a comprehensive and rigorous description of the application of Hamilton’s principle to continuous media. To introduce terminology and initial concepts, it begins with what is called the first problem of the calculus of variations. For both historical and pedagogical reasons, it first discusses the application of the principle to systems of particles, including conservative and non-conservative systems and systems with constraints. The foundations of mechanics of continua are introduced in the context of inner product spaces. With this basis, the application of Hamilton’s principle to the classical theories of fluid and solid mechanics are covered. Then recent developments are described, including materials with microstructure, mixtures, and continua with singular surfaces.

Anthony won’t go willingly, though, and people across the city step forward to make sure he’s not taken.

Where Did Our Love Go?, an anthology of essays written by many major public figures and celebrities, will explore the substantive issues related to marital problem in the African-American community. From the "my baby's mama" syndrome to the more serious implications of what a generation of single-parent households will mean to future generations, this comprehensive collection will provide an in-depth discourse on the trends and issues that have caused the problematic behaviors within African-American relationships to persist with little sign of relief. The book will consist of a total of 40 essays divided equally into 4 lifestyle categories (single, married, divorced, and widowed), to present a wide cross section of perspectives on this subject. Marriage plays an essential role in maintaining the vitality and character of a community, so it is deeply unsettling for many African Americans to find that the value of this institution has lost its allure. While marriage among African Americans has always fallen below the average of other population segments, the gap today has grown so pronounced that the subject has sparked an intense national dialogue. A 2006 Washington Post article, “Is Marriage for White People,” created waves of controversy on the issue. In 2010, Nightline dedicated an entire broadcast to this growing crisis. The marriage gap in Black America has become such an open secret that it’s now the source of endless bad jokes and prime time reality shows. The statistics even back this up, as according to the U.S. Census, 43.3% of black men and 41.9% of black women in America have never been married, and the rate of decline is nearly twice the national average. Marriage is a rite of passage that is fundamental to every culture, which underscores the tremendous need for an active dialogue to take place that will lay a foundation for discovery. With essays from 50 Cent, Viola Davis, Jabari Asim, Darnell Williams, Faith Evans, Mara Brock Akil, and more, Where Did Our Love Go? will ignite the fight for that conversation to begin.
