It's the year 2060. The leaders from two planets, Topia and Damog
are fighting over the control of the people from Earth. When one of
Adonai's astronauts, Fiendman had tried to overthrow Adonai and
become the dictator of Topia, Adonai excommunicated him and his
followers to the planet Damog. Fiendman promises to destroy the
Earth so he sends bombs and creates an immune deficiency disease
that makes many people sick. As an incentive to get the people to
move to Damog, he tells them the planet is beautiful and sends
space ships to them for a free trip to Damog. Many are afraid and
take the space ship to get away from Earth. Adonai knows Damog is
not what it appears, and sends astronauts to Earth to warn the
people about going there. They do not listen, so he sends a special
astronaut, Leirbag, to create a child with his DNA with an Earth
woman. This child would create immunity to the disease and people
will see miracles. The baby, Joshua David is born to a woman named
Mary Beth and her husband Joe. When he grows up, he does many
miracles, and people are amazed. Joe convinces people to sign a
contract to go to Topia with Adonai's promise he would take care of
them. The Earth is about to be destroyed, so Adonai sends the space
ships he promised and people go Topia. When the Earth is blown into
outer space in tiny pieces, it creates a vacuum and Topia fills the
space creating a new Earth with no sickness or trouble

A focused investigation of Whistler's watercolors that introduces
readers to a rarely seen aspect of the artist's creative output In
the 1880s, James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) reinvented himself
through the medium of watercolor. At the time, excellence in
watercolor was most often associated with British artists, and most
notably with the work of J. M. W. Turner (1775-1851). Whistler's
embrace of watercolor allowed the expatriate artist to present
himself as an heir to the great Turner, while at the same time
creating easily portable works that could supply an American market
and, the artist hoped, help secure his art-historical legacy in his
home country. Indeed, it was the American Gilded Age industrialist
Charles Lang Freer who would amass the largest collection of
Whistler's watercolors, eventually bequeathing them to the
Smithsonian in 1906. This publication is the first systematic study
of Freer's amazing treasure trove of more than 50 watercolors by
Whistler and includes figures, landscapes, nocturnes, and
interiors. Providing both an art-historical context that looks into
the contemporary reception of the works, as well as rigorous
scientific analysis of Whistler's materials and techniques, this
volume offers a groundbreaking look into an overlooked segment of
the celebrated artist's oeuvre.
The members of the Domestic Workers United (DWU)
organization-immigrant women of color employed as nannies,
caregivers, and housekeepers in New York City-formed to fight for
dignity and respect and to "bring meaningful change" to their work.
Alana Lee Glaser examines the process of how these domestic workers
organized against precarity, isolation, and exploitation to help
pass the 2010 New York State Domestic Worker Bill of Rights, the
first labor law in the United States protecting in-home workers.
Solidarity & Care examines the political mobilization of
diverse care workers who joined together and supported one another
through education, protests, lobbying, and storytelling. Domestic
work activists used narrative and emotional appeals to build a
coalition of religious communities, employers of domestic workers,
labor union members, and politicians to first pass and then to
enforce the new law. Through oral history interviews, as well as
ethnographic observation during DWU meetings and protest actions,
Glaser chronicles how these women fought (and continue to fight) to
improve working conditions. She also illustrates how they endure
racism, punitive immigration laws, on-the-job indignities, and
unemployment that can result in eviction and food insecurity. The
lessons from Solidarity & Care along with the DWU's
precedent-setting legislative success have applications to workers
across industries. All royalties will go directly to the Domestic
Workers United
