H. Leslie Moody and Frances Johnson Moody never owned the company outright, but their dreams shaped North Carolina's Hyalyn Porcelain, Inc. and drove it forward to the satisfaction of an emerging, increasingly modern post-World War II America. Hyalyn's reputation for high quality led to its association with top designers like Michael and Rosemary Lax, Eva Zeisel, Georges Briard, Charles Leslie Fordyce, Herbert Cohen, Erwin Kalla, and Esta Brodey. Before moving to North Carolina in 1945, ceramic engineer and designer Less Moody prepared to organize and operate Hyalyn Porcelain, Inc. From Zanesville's Mosaic Tile Company, Ohio State University's ceramics department, Love Field Pottery, Abingdon Pottery, San Jose Potteries, and Rookwood Pottery, he gained expertise in clay formulation, glaze chemistry, product design, plant operation, project planning, advertising, and employee management. With the aid of investors, his dream came true when, in 1946, Hyalyn's first lamp bases and flower containers emerged from the shop's tunnel kiln. Thoroughly documented and illustrated with 425 images, hyalyn: America's Finest Porcelain is a complete history of Hyalyn Porcelain, Inc., and its successors, Hyalyn Cosco, Hyalyn, Ltd., and Vanguard Studios.

Nona Mason loves her home, mostly because she's afraid to leave it. Living in a lighthouse on the coast of Alaska isn't all it's cracked up to be, especially for an author trying to write and publish her next book. Nona struggles with leaving her house even with someone else, and has people bring her groceries, and help her maintain the lighthouse like it should be. But when her attendant quits unexpectedly, she has to hire a new one: Jason King. Her new attendant does more than assist her around the house; Jason helps her overcome the fear she thought she would never have to face, and helps her gain back the humanity she thought she'd lost.

Couples' Therapy: A Do-It-Yourself Guide to a Better Relationship is written to help the many couples who struggle on their own to make their relationships a success. Drawing from her training as a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, her many years as a therapist, and her own personal experience as a woman, Dr. Compton takes you through a therapy hour just as if you were in a session with her. Although Couples' Therapy is meant primarily as an aid in dealing with everyday problems, it also can be used as an intermediary step for more serious problems. And if professional help is needed but not affordable or available, it can provide an opportunity to work on the problem yourself. If you, as a couple, are looking to "live happily ever after," Couples' Therapy is a good place to begin. Give it a try. You have little to lose and much to gain.

The 2007-2009 financial crisis focused attention on weaknesses in the U.S. regulatory structure, including the lack of an agency or mechanism responsible for monitoring and addressing risks across the financial system and a shortage of timely information to facilitate that oversight. In response to the crisis, Congress passed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) in July 2010, which provided a broad range of regulatory reforms. Among many other things, the act established the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) to monitor the stability of the U.S. financial system and take actions to mitigate risks that might destabilise the system. This book provides an overview of elements and assessments of the Financial Stability Oversight Council and Office of Financial Research with a focus on Frequently Asked Questions.
