New Book Released That Addresses Bullying...or Does It?

If you like great characters, suspense and the unbelievable mixed with reality - You need to read Lincoln Nabb and the Bully's Father.

2012-10-04

DELAWARE, OH, October 04, 2012 (Press-News.org) Author Timothy W. Hall has a fascinating book entitled, Lincoln Nabb and the Bully's Father available through Amazon.com. It is the first in a new trilogy about kids who bully smaller kids. Or is it?

Mr. Hall's book spends the first few chapters telling us how Lincoln Nabb is bullied in school by Arnold Jester and his side-kick, Stanley. Because Lincoln is small for his age, he has been an easy target for Jester for five years, beginning in elementary school and continuing on to high school.

Lincoln also feels judged negatively by his favorite teacher, criticized by his father, and outshined by his older brother Tommy. Lincoln's only friends are Laney, who has a crush on him and who tries to protect him from Jester, and Kyle, who is more afraid of the bully than Lincoln is!

A devotee of fantasy comic books, Lincoln spends much of his time in the classroom, daydreaming about meeting and defeating mean, vicious killer aliens.

Full of surprising twists and turns, Lincoln's story is not what the reader thinks it is after the first pages. There is a mysterious secret held by the last person Lincoln would ever suspect.

Hall's blog is as fascinating as his book and may...or may not...give us an insight to the direction this great little book takes.

Mr. Hall is sponsoring a contest for his readers, which can be entered through his blog. Every person who reads and reviews this book on Amazon.com will be entered into a drawing for a $50.00 Amazon gift card! The winner will be selected on November 30, 2012 and notified via email.

Read the book. You won't be able to "put it down".

Sticky paper offers cheap, easy solution for paper-based diagnostics

2012-10-03

A current focus in global health research is to make medical tests that are not just cheap but virtually free.

A University of Washington bioengineer recently developed a way to make regular paper stick to medically interesting molecules. The work produced a chemical trick to make paper-based diagnostics using plain paper, the kind found at office supply stores around the world. ...

Sea urchin's spiny strength revealed

2012-10-03

Sydney, Australia - For the first time, a team of Australian engineers has modelled the microscopic mechanics of a sea urchin's spine, gaining insight into how these unusual creatures withstand impacts in their aquatic environment. The skeleton of the purple-spined sea urchin (Centrostephanus rodgersii), found in tidal waters along the coast of New South Wales, has many long spines extending from its core. These spiky features are used for walking, sensing their environment, and for protection against predators and rough surf. The long hollow spines are made from a ...
