Equal: Women Reshape American LawAs late as 1967, men outnumbered women twenty to one in American law schools. With the loss of deferments from Vietnam, reluctant law schools began admitting women to avoid plummeting enrollments. As women entered, the law resisted. Judges would not hire women. Law firms asserted a right to discriminate against women. Judges permitted discrimination by employers against pregnant women. Courts viewed sexual harassment as, one judge said, "a game played

As late as 1967, men outnumbered women twenty to one in American law schools. With the loss of deferments from Vietnam, reluctant law schools began admitting women to avoid plummeting enrollments. As women entered, the law resisted. Judges would not hire women. Law firms asserted a right to discriminate against women. Judges permitted discrimination by employers against pregnant women. Courts viewed sexual harassment as, one judge said, "a game played by the male superiors." Violence against women seemed to exist beyond the law's comprehension.

In this landmark book, Fred Strebeigh shows how American law advanced, far and fast. He brings together legal evidence and personal histories to portray the work of concerned women and men to advance legal rights in America. Equal combines interviews with litigators, plaintiffs, and judges, including Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Catharine MacKinnon, along with research from private archives of attorneys who took cases to the Supreme Court, to narrate battles waged against high odds and pinnacles of legal power. Equal, in the words of Professor Suzanne A. Kim of Rutgers Law School, is a book for "anyone interested in how each individual can improve our society through compassion, drive, and creativity."

Not as effective
I don't find the chewable as effective as the ones that dissolve. These don't seem to give me the same relaxing quality.

A Year’s Supply in One Bottle, But 10mg is Potent
I picked this up mainly for the value factor. Getting 360 tablets in one bottle means I don't have to think about reordering for a very long time, which is convenient. The "fast dissolve" claim holds up well. You don't need water to take them; they break down quickly in your mouth without leaving a gritty residue. The berry flavor is decent—since it is naturally sweetened, it doesn't have that harsh chemical aftertaste that some sugar-free brands have, though it is slightly chalky compared to a gummy. The main thing to be aware of is the dosage. 10mg is a heavy dose if you are accustomed to the standard 3mg or 5mg tablets. It definitely works to put you out quickly, but I found that 10mg can be a bit overkill for a standard night. The nice thing about the tablet form (vs. a capsule) is that they are easy to snap in half if you want to taper down to a 5mg dose to avoid feeling groggy the next morning. If you have a high tolerance, this is a great bulk buy, but beginners should probably start with half.

A primal book on being a Leader and Being a Servant
Format: Kindle
I believe I would spend much hours, and perusing Greenleaf, its so simple and easy to grasp, yet profound and worthy of reflexion, action and again meditation one would find that Hesse's "Journey to the East" will projetc the light of another protagonist, then Journey itself, because its the Journey that brought the new enligment, the growth and change, everything that happens in it is relevant, indispensable and necessary, therefore it behooves us to read Greenleaf's Servant as Leader, many times over while we ourselves take this Servant Leadership Journey, with its help maybe we will discover a a new and magnificent way to better ourselves, and help others grow, develop their potential and become themselves Servant Leaders, there is a great need in todays world for this type of mindset, have you started your journey?? Grab this book, and follow along, you certainly will not regret i!

No other way
Format: Kindle
I found “servant-leadership” as the best way to lead by the simple fact that, despite or even in spite of being counter intuitive and a paradox in itself, it is what Jesus showed us as “the way” - Do you want to lead? Be the last. That’s leading.
