VANI HARI - THE FOOD BABE WAY Mar 26 2015 6:30 pm. Hari has courageously put the heat on big food companies, getting them to disclose and remove toxic ingredients from many of the products we enjoy and encouraging us to live a clean, organic, healthy lifestyle away from the processed world. Did you know that your typical fast food French fries contain a chemical used in Silly Putty, or that your favorite fruit may have been sprayed heavily with pesticides that could be triggering your body to store fat? The sheer composition of today’s food is making us gain weight, feel sick, and age before our time. Vani Hari now hands us the tools to cut out hidden food toxins, lose weight, and get healthy in just 21 days! In THE FOOD BABE WAY, Hari outlines where danger lurks in our food, explains how to decode food labels, and offers advice on what we should eat and how to shop organic without draining our wallets. With easy-to-follow meal plans, shopping lists, and mouthwatering recipes, Hari’s simple, practical, and accessible plan will have us losing weight—without counting calories. Along the way, Hari shares her own story of how she lost weight and rid herself of the problems that had dogged her since she was a child, including eczema and allergies, and how she has become one of the nation’s most influential food activists. The 21 positive, lasting habits you will develop to create major change in your life include: • Drinking lemon water in the morning with a sprinkle of cayenne pepper on top: This will jump-start your metabolism as well as cleanse your body of toxins. • Supplementing with 10 Superhero Foods that provide your body with a high ratio of nutrition to calories, making them the most nutritionally dense foods available. Ideas include: kimchi and yogurt; raw cacao, goji berries, chia seeds, spirulina, quinoa, and sprouts. • Detoxing from added sugar by learning how to read food labels and only purchasing products that use organic, unprocessed sweeteners instead of lab-made additives. Vani Hari’s THE FOOD BABE WAY will empower you to change your food, change your body, and change the world. About the Author: Vani Hari is a food activist and the creator of foodbabe.com. In her work, Hari has influenced how food giants like Kraft, Subway, Chipotle, Chick-fil-A, and Starbucks create their products, steering them toward more healthful policies. She lives in North Carolina and travels around the world to speak about health and food awareness.

CHARLES COBB JR. - THIS NONVIOLENT STUFF'LL GET YOU KILLED Mar 30 2015 8:00 pm. Visiting Martin Luther King Jr. at the peak of the Montgomery, Alabama bus boycott, journalist William Worthy almost sat on a loaded pistol. “Just for self defense,” King assured him. It was not the only weapon King kept for such a purpose; one of his advisors remembered the reverend’s Montgomery, Alabama home as “an arsenal.” Like King, many ostensibly “nonviolent” civil rights activists embraced their constitutional right to selfprotection—yet this crucial dimension of the Afro-American freedom struggle has been long ignored by history. In This Nonviolent Stuff’ll Get You Killed, civil rights scholar Charles E. Cobb Jr. describes the vital role that armed self-defense played in the survival and liberation of black communities in America during the Southern Freedom Movement of the 1960s.

In the Deep South, blacks often safeguarded themselves and their loved ones from white supremacist violence by bearing—and, when necessary, using—firearms. In much the same way, Cobb shows, nonviolent civil rights workers received critical support from black gun owners in the regions where they worked. Whether patrolling their neighborhoods, garrisoning their homes, or firing back at attackers, these courageous men and women and the weapons they carried were crucial to the movement’s success. Giving voice to the World War II veterans, rural activists, volunteer security guards, and self-defense groups who took up arms to defend their lives and liberties, This Nonviolent Stuff’ll Get You Killed lays bare the paradoxical relationship between the nonviolent civil rights struggle and the Second Amendment. Drawing on his firsthand experiences in the civil rights movement and interviews with fellow participants, Cobb provides a controversial examination of the crucial place of firearms in the fight for American freedom. About the Author: Charles E. Cobb, Jr. is a visiting professor of Africana Studies at Brown University. He is a distinguished journalist and former member of National Geographic Magazine's editorial staff. He currently is Senior Writer and Diplomatic Correspondent for AllAfrica.com, the leading online provider of news from and about Africa. From 1962-1967 he served as a field secretary for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in Mississippi. He began his journalism career in 1974 as a reporter for WHUR Radio in Washington, D.C. In 1976 he joined the staff of National Public Radio as a foreign affairs reporter, bringing to that network its first regular coverage of Africa. From 1985 to 1997, Cobb was a National Geographic staff member, traveling the globe to write stories on places from Eritrea to Russia's Kuril Islands. He is also the coauthor, with civil rights organizer and educator Robert P. Moses, of Radical Equations, Civil Rights from Mississippi to the Algebra Project. His latest book published in January 2008 is On the Road to Freedom, a Guided Tour of the Civil Rights Trail. On July 24, 2008 the National Association of Black Journalists honored Cobb’s work by inducting him into their Hall of Fame.

In the Community RONALD FENSTER - D.A.S.P.O. Mar 31 2015 8:00 pm. Based on the exploits of 1st Lt. Ron Fenster, D.A.S.P.O is a breakthrough novel that recounts the misadventures of an unhinged troop of US Army photographers and filmmakers during the height of the Vietnam War. Reviewers have compared D.A.S.P.O. to M.A.S.H. and Catch-22 in its treatment of “the wacky side of war fiction.” It’s a “hilarious send-up,” based on Fenster’s actual experiences in 1971 Saigon. Enthusiastic readers have posted comments on Amazon saying it’s “both funny and disturbing,” that the novel contains “humor, irony, and real truth,” that it’s “a wild ride.” In Saigon, D.A.S.P.O troops lived off-base…in a downtown villa complete with servants, air conditioning, and a rooftop patio for their pot-laden parties. Second, they generally wore civilian clothes and traveled on diplomatic passports that allowed them complete access to anywhere they wanted to go. Third, their film assignments often required them to go outside the military Table of Organization – way outside – to finagle the materials and transport they needed to “get the shot.” Think Milo Minderbinder in Catch-22. From “The Dance of the Body Bags” to “Mortuary Cosmetology,” D.A.S.P.O film and photo units traveled throughout the country to complete their assigned projects – and also film pretty much whatever they wanted to. None of them were career soldiers…they were frustrated Fellinis, each one with warped visions of someday walking the red carpet and expressing their heartfelt gratitude to the Academy. From the story of the Girl with One Green Leg to the baby-selling Mamasan to the exposure of the corrupt, drug-dealing Colonel Xoan, each chapter of D.A.S.P.O offers the reader stories that are both hilarious and heartbreaking. Yes it’s funny, and yes, it’s unhinged and outrageous. But it was still a war, and D.A.S.P.O personnel had plenty of chances to experience both the hilarity and horror of the Vietnam era. About the Author: Ronald Fenster Grew up in Miami Beach and was educated at the University of Florida and Syracuse University. He joined the Army as a Lieutenant and was first stationed at the Army Pictorial Center. Later he was assigned to The Department of the Army Special Photographic Office and sent to a DASPO unit in Hawaii. For the next two years he directed film assignments all over SE Asia, The Pacific, and Korea. His first novel, D*A*S*P*O is quickly becoming the M*A*S*H of the Vietnam War. It is a work of fiction based on facts relating to the corruption and drug culture of that era.

ERIK LARSON - DEAD WAKE - Coral Gables Congregational Church – RSVP REQUIRED - Please RSVP HERE. On May 1, 1915, with WWI entering its tenth month, a luxury ocean liner as richly appointed as an English country house sailed out of New York, bound for Liverpool, carrying a record number of children and infants. The passengers were surprisingly at ease, even though Germany had declared the seas around Britain to be a war zone. For months, German U-boats had brought terror to the North Atlantic. But the Lusitania was one of the era’s great transatlantic “Greyhounds”—the fastest liner then in service—and her captain, William Thomas Turner, placed tremendous faith in the gentlemanly strictures of warfare that for a century had kept civilian ships safe from attack. Germany, however, was determined to change the rules of the game, and Walther Schwieger, the captain of Unterseeboot-20, was happy to oblige. Meanwhile, an ultra-secret British intelligence unit tracked Schwieger’s U-boat, but told no one. As U-20 and the Lusitania made their way toward Liverpool, an array of forces both grand and achingly small—hubris, a chance fog, a closely guarded secret, and more—all converged to produce one of the great disasters of history. It is a story that many of us think we know but don’t, and Erik Larson tells it thrillingly, switching between hunter and hunted while painting a larger portrait of America at the height of the Progressive Era. Full of glamour and suspense, Dead Wake brings to life a cast of evocative characters, from famed Boston bookseller Charles Lauriat to pioneering female architect Theodate Pope to President Woodrow Wilson, a man lost to grief, dreading the widening war but also captivated by the prospect of new love. Gripping and important, Dead Wake captures the sheer drama and emotional power of a disaster whose intimate details and true meaning have long been obscured by history. About the Author: Erik Larson is a writer, journalist and novelist. Nominated for a Pulitzer prize for investigative journalism on The Wall Street Journal, he has taught non-fiction writing at San Francisco State and Johns Hopkins.
