With the national election two months away, Anthony N. English announces publication of the first edition of ''How to Vote with Purpose, Passion and Power.''

Anthony English became interested in politics on November 22, 1963 when he was sworn in as a US citizen at almost the exact time John F. Kennedy was assassinated and has, unlike almost 50% of the electorate, voted in every election since that time.

The question is "are voters stupid, gullible or they just don't care?" Quoting Theodore Roosevelt, "We in America do not have government by the majority; we have government by the majority of those who participate." English's thesis is "your one vote counts." One more vote per precinct would have elected Richard Nixon instead of John F. Kennedy.

Bernie Davis picked up the game of golf, but hated picking up so many clubs during a round on the links. He saw other golfers spending too much time walking back to the cart for another club, and it bothered him to put clubs on the wet ground where it might even be forgotten. Davis set out to improve not just his game, but the process of playing the game. He invented a device to make golf less frustrating. Hence, the Caddy Sack--an all purpose, one-pound bag that solved all kinds of golf problems.

One day Tina, a 36 year-old mother of three noticed a quarter-sized bald spot just above her daughter's right ear. A few days later she saw her child pull out a number of eyelashes. Their pediatrician assured Tina that children often do things that seem strange to adults but Tina felt tremendous despair. It turned out that Tina has been doing the same thing to herself since the age of nine. Tina joined a new online trichotillomania program to learn how to stop her own hair pulling and help her child.

Up to 17 million Americans struggle with Trichotillomania, a great majority of whom are female. Many are compulsively driven to pull their hair out for hours each day. As a result, a great number of hair pulling women suffer in silent shame, living a painful lie and hiding their torment even from loved ones. To date, there is neither a medical cure to stop hair pulling, nor a clear scientific understanding of its causes. However, Abby Rohrer has discovered practical answers to why so many begin to pull their hair out and go on to become long-term, even life-long hair pullers. Trichotillomania is a one of the top reasons for hair loss in women.
