Joseph Occhipinti is a native New Yorker where his desire to be involved in community service led him to a career in law enforcement. He graduated from Brooklyn College where he earned a BA degree. In January 1969, Joe joined the U.S. Army Reserves, where for six years he served as a Military Policeman. In March 1972, Joe was appointed as a Customs Patrol Officer where he was assigned to investigate international smuggling and organized crime. In 1976, Joe transferred to the INS as a Special Agent where he became one of the country’s foremost experts on ethnic organized crime. Joe worked deep undercover and infiltrated a drug cartel that led to one of the largest cocaine seizures at that time. In 1984, Joe became the youngest agent to be promoted to Chief of the NYC Anti-Smuggling Unit. In 1989, Joe initiated a multi-agency task force “Project Bodega” to investigate a drug cartel implicated in the murder of a NYPD officer. In retaliation, the cartel set-up Joe on fabricated civil rights allegations that led to his prosecution, conviction and imprisonment. However, due to public outrage, President George H.W. Bush granted Joe “Executive Clemency” on January 15, 1993 and on December 23, 2020, President Donald J. Trump granted him a “Full and Unconditional Pardon” with a personal apology for Joe’s injustice. In 1995, Joe established the National Police Defense Foundation, where he still volunteers as its Executive Director. Joe has been instrumental in exposing through national media many injustices against officers. He also established the congressionally recognized “Safe Cop” program that helps arrest and convict criminals who shoot at or kill an officer. Joe’s notoriety as a humanitarian is attributed to his “Operation Kids” program which arranges life-saving operations for children worldwide. Joe has been recognized for these efforts by the media, elected officials, state legislatures and foreign governments, including Pope Francis. Joe served on the executive board of several fraternal police organizations which included the Federal Agents PBA as President for 18 years. Today, Joe is considered one of the most decorated federal agents in the United States, credited with 3 Attorney General Awards and 78 commendations for meritorious service and valor. Joe resides in New Jersey with his wife, Angela of 50 years, 3 married daughters and 6 grandchildren.

Timber-framed buildings are a distinctive and treasured part of Britain's heritage, with such noteworthy examples as Little Moreton Hall, Anne Hathaway's Cottage and Lavenham Guildhall. The oldest are medieval but their numbers peaked in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, with a revival in the nineteenth. The majority of timber-framed buildings are houses, but wood was used in all kinds of other buildings, including shops, inns, churches, town halls and farm buildings. In this beautifully illustrated book, Richard Hayman outlines the history of timber-framed designs, and considers the techniques used in their construction, the regional variations in style that can be found, and how these buildings displayed social status. He also guides the reader in identifying structures now concealed behind later work and explores how these buildings have been treated in subsequent centuries.

Henry James Framed is a cultural history of Henry James as a work of art. Throughout his life, James demonstrated an abiding interest in--some would say an obsession with--the visual arts. In his most influential testaments about the art of fiction, James frequently invoked a deeply felt analogy between imaginative writing and painting. At a time when having a photographic carte de visite was an expected social commonplace, James detested the necessity of replenishing his supply or of distributing his autographed image to well-wishing friends and imploring readers. Yet for a man who set the highest premium on personal privacy, James seems to have had few reservations about serving as a model for artists in other media and sat for his portrait a remarkable number of twenty-four times. Surprisingly few James scholars have brought into primary focus those occasions when the author was not writing about art but instead became art himself, through the creative expression of another's talent. To better understand the twenty-four occasions he sat for others to represent him, Michael Anesko reconstructs the specific contexts for these works' coming into being, assesses James's relationships with his artists and patrons, documents his judgments concerning the objects produced, and, insofar as possible, traces the later provenance of each of them. James's long-established intimacy with the studio world deepened his understanding of the complex relationship between the artist and his sitter. James insisted above all that a portrait was a revelation of two realities: the man whom it was the artist's conscious effort to reveal and the artist, or interpreter, expressed in the very quality and temper of that effort. The product offered a double vision--the strongest dose of life that art could give, and the strongest dose of art that life could give.

It is interesting how the human body can begin as a single cell yet grow and progress into a 50-trillion-cell physical being. Each cell developed and differentiated into their respective place within the physical body of man. Like the Word of God was breathed through the writers of the Bible, so to God breathed into man life. Man was created by God for God. Fitly Framed Together: The Human Body will take the reader through an organized journey of the anatomy and physiology of the body yet, in an unpretentious way, combining engineering and anatomical features and illustrating how God uses the human body to glorify himself. The design and nature of the twelve organ systems are unique and indeed fitly framed together, just like the Bible. Following an introduction, Fitly Framed Together: The Human Body discusses how the body is intricately designed and organized. The text then takes us through a journey through the twelve organ systems, describing the working anatomy of each and relating them to scripture and how our body fits into God’s overall creation. Many drawings and illustrations are included. A major feature is a concordance of over five thousand body parts and their scriptural reference. Such topics of discussion include the following: In His Image Jesus—the Incarnate of God Organization of Molecules, Cells, Tissues, and Organ systems Support and Movement of the Skeletal and Muscular Systems Control by the Nervous and Endocrine Systems Maintenance by the Integument, Digestive, Urinary, Immune, Respiratory, and Cardiovascular Systems The Reproductive Systems of Males and Females Concordance The descriptions and accounts of the Bible are in harmony and in one accord. So, too, the human body is put together in physical harmony yet is also in spiritual harmony with God. Jesus was physical and is the cornerstone of Christian faith. The very nature of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is manifested in the human body and is illustrated in Fitly Framed Together: The Human Body. Although much anatomy and physiology of the human body is presented, Fitly Framed Together: The Human Body is not intended to be a textbook for academic study in the classroom. However, it can be a valued resource that can possibly help your understanding and acceptance as to the creation of man by God and his value to God. By the very nature of the anatomy and physiology of the human body, it must be fitly framed together.
