Download or read book Whittier written by Michael Garabedian and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2016-04-04 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Quaker colonists arrived in Southern California in 1887 to establish their "ideal city of dreams" between the San Gabriel River and the base of the Puente Hills, this land already had a storied past. It was once a place where native Tongvans gathered, the site of Spanish land grant holder Manuel Nieto's rancho, and home to the mansion of the last governor of Alta California, Pío Pico. Named by the early settlers after the abolitionist poet, "Ye Olde Friendly Towne of Whittier" grew from a small colony of Quaker pioneers to a bustling center for the production of citrus, walnuts, and avocados. After incorporation in 1898, Whittier also became a flourishing suburb connected to Los Angeles via the Pacific Electric trolley; the home of Whittier College, celebrated for its academics and the mascot Johnny Poet; and home to several notable Americans, including the 37th president of the United States.

Download or read book Discovering Omar written by Adolfo Silva Reyes and published by Editorial Alvi Books. This book was released on 2019-11-14 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «Discovering Omar is a novel that presents us, through its 14 chapters, that no dichotomy is arbitrary. This agile and entertaining novel shows us the life of Omar, an attractive Physical Education teacher who, despite having a fairly normal life (a good job, a girlfriend and a family), has a particular addiction: providing pleasure. Throughout the pages we are discovering a character who, at first, is sure who he is but, throughout the plot, he is filled with questions that undermine all his premises ».Based on the idea of Michel Foucault, specifically of his work "History of sexuality", that the mechanisms of power are directed to sex, body and life, "Discovering Omar", proposes in its plot, show how these Mechanisms act through the stereotype of masculinity, (and in a certain way of femeneity, the hairdresser as a scenario in this novel is a grandiloquent symbol of this constant) and in turn contradict the binarist schemes of sexuality. (The relationship between Omar Santibañez and Mateo Dabenne and the relationship between Eugenia and Alicia are symptomatic in this regard). From a diegetic narrator, with a partial mastery of the narrative planes, the story is built quickly and refinement creating an emotional atmosphere quite achieved throughout the novel. The macabre plan of the mother of the protagonist, Amanda Goic and the complicity of her friend and partner Yolanda Barrera allows the drama of the central character, Omar Santibañez to emerge in the very limits of the male identity. Situation of the mother who forced him to change the course of life, abandoned his commitment to marry Anriette and his labor camp as a physical education teacher in a Providencia high school. The same Discoteque Fausto, the place prohibited and interdicted for all, will be the scene where carnivally mother and son will be naked and faced with the deep reality of each one and where the mechanics of the simulation will finally cease for both. (Omar systematically denied his scort status in front of his mother). Both were finally victims of the same mechanics. The unconscious, the repression, the desire, the Oedipus, could also be pointed out in the conformation of the subject behind the character of Omar Sàntibañez, certain dialectical forms of power masked under oppressive love are also features of the protagonist's mother, but to reduce the reading of this novel under a psychocritical perspective is to deny it the aesthetic and structural value it possesses. It would also not be fair not to place our young author in the line of Chilean writers such as Pablo Simonetti, Carlos Iturra and Mauricio Wacquez. "Discovering Omar" is, in short, a novel that captures the attention of the reader, and a reinvindication of more than one gender literature, but at the same time is a criticism of historical conventions, parameters and male stereotypes imposed by a consumer society.

Book excerpt: The former White House pastry chef for Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama presents a healthy, delicious collection of dessert recipes. Treat sugar like salt. This is the mantra of Bill Yosses, a former White House pastry chef, and his secret to baking indulgent yet wholesome desserts that truly satisfy. After being tasked by First Lady Michelle Obama to create healthier treats for her family, he discovered that when he dialed back the sugar in his recipes, his desserts were not only healthier on paper, but they actually tasted better too.

From Kabocha Persimmon Pie and Matcha Green Tea Roll with Blackberry Pastry Cream, to Lemon Kaffir Semifreddo and Popped Quinoa Chocolate Cookies, Bill’s treats show us that desserts don’t have to be a source of penance to be exquisite and indulgent. Complete with a professional baker’s tricks of the trade to ensure your confections are as gorgeous as they are delicious, The Sweet Spot is a must-have for anyone looking to up their dessert game. Once you start baking Bill’s way, you’ll be able to have your cake…and eat it too!
