The Digital Departed
A fascinating exploration of the social meaning of digital death From blogs written by terminally ill authors to online notes left by those considering suicide, technology has become a medium for the dead and the dying to cope with the anxiety of death. Services like artificial intelligence chatbots, mind-uploading, and postmortem blog posts offer individuals the ability to cultivate their legacies in a bid for digital immortality. The Digital Departed explores the posthumous internet world from the perspective of both the living and the dead. Timothy Recuber traces how communication beyond death evolved over time. Historically, the methods of mourning have been characterized by unequal access to power and privilege. However, the internet offers more agency to the dead, allowing users accessibility and creativity in curating how they want to be remembered. Based on hundreds of blog posts, suicide notes, Twitter hashtags, and videos, Recuber examines the ways we die online, and the digital texts we leave behind. Combining these data with interviews, surveys, analysis of news coverage, and a historical overview of the relationship between death and communication technology going back to pre-history, The Digital Departed explains what it means to live and die on the internet today. In this thought-provoking and uniquely troubling work, Recuber shows that although we might pass away, our digital souls live on, online, in a kind of purgatory of their own.

Connecting Generations
Social isolation, loneliness, and suicide are conditions we often associate with the elderly. But in reality, these issues have sharply increased across younger generations. Baby Boomers, Gen X'ers, Millennials, and post-Millennials all report a declining number of friends and an increasing number of health issues associated with loneliness. Even more concerning, it appears that the younger the generation, the greater the feelings of disconnection. Regardless of age, it feels as though we're living through a period of ongoing disequilibrium because we're not able to adapt quickly enough to the social and technological changes swirling around us. These powerful changes have not only isolated individuals from their own peers but have contributed to becoming an age-segregated society. And yet we need fulfilling relationships with people our own age and across the generations to lead lives that are rich in meaning and purpose. Even in those rare communities where young and old live near each other, they lack organic settings that encourage intergenerational relationships. In addition, it isn't technology, but generational diversity that is our best tool for navigating the changes that affect so many aspects of our lives - whether it's work, entertainment, education, or family dynamics. We can't restore yesterday's model of community, where only those who were older transmitted wisdom downward to the generation below. But we can relearn how much members of different generations have to offer each other and recreate intergenerational communities for the 21st century where young, old, and everyone in between is equally valued for their perspectives, and where each generation views itself as having a stake in the other's success. Here, Hayim Herring focuses more deeply on how Baby Boomers, Gen Xers, and Millennials perceive one another and looks underneath the generational labels that compound isolation. He offers ways we can prepare current and future generations for a world in which ongoing interactions with people from multiple generations become the norm, and re-experience how enriching intergenerational relationships are personally and communally.
Treatises on Friendship and Old Age
MARCUS TULLIUS CICERO, the greatest of Roman orators and the chief master of Latin prose style, was born at Arpinum, Jan. 3, 106 B.C. His father, who was a man of property and belonged to the class of the "Knights," moved to Rome when Cicero was a child; and the future statesman received an elaborate education in rhetoric, law, and philosophy, studying and practising under some of the most noted teachers of the time. He began his career as an advocate at the age of twenty-five, and almost immediately came to be recognized not only as a man of brilliant talents but also as a courageous upholder of justice in the face of grave political danger. After two years of practice he left Rome to travel in Greece and Asia, taking all the opportunities that offered to study his art under distinguished masters. He returned to Rome greatly improved in health and in professional skill, and in 76 B. C. was elected to the office of quaestor. He was assigned to the province of Lilybaeum in Sicily, and the vigor and justice of his administration earned him the gratitude of the inhabitants. It was at their request that he undertook in 70 B. C. the Prosecution of Verres, who as Praetor had subjected the Sicilians to incredible extortion and oppression; and his successful conduct of this case, which ended in the conviction and banishment of Verres, may be said to have launched him on his political career. He became aedile in the same year, in 67 B.C. praetor, and in 64 B. C. was elected consul by a large majority. The most important event of the year of his consulship was the conspiracy of Catiline. This notorious criminal of patrician rank had conspired with a number of others, many of them young men of high birth but dissipated character, to seize the chief offices of the state, and to extricate themselves from the pecuniary and other difficulties that had resulted from their excesses, by the wholesale plunder of the city. The plot was unmasked by the vigilance of Cicero, five of the traitors were summarily executed, and in the overthrow of the army that had been gathered in their support Catiline himself perished. Cicero regarded himself as the savior of his country, and his country for the moment seemed to give grateful assent.

A Legal Adult
My 19-year-old niece Aly disappeared. Car, keys, cell phone, and laptop were abandoned at the airport. Law enforcement couldn't differentiate a legitimate trip from a nefarious abduction, because she was . . . a legal adult.On December 10, my presumably happy niece left the country with a person she'd met online but had never met in person. Multiple airline tickets to multiple destinations were purchased in her name. Airport security cameras outbound and inbound showed a third traveler.Multiple sources confirmed that Aly arrived in Canada, which narrowed our search to 3.8 million square miles with multiple points of entry.We learned that laws designed to protect young people will enable traffickers with almost unfettered permission to travel below the radar with 18- to 20-year-olds. Aly's young adult status created a barrier separating her from her parents, while deepening her relationship with a potential trafficker.Maneuvering the legal systems of two countries became as much a challenge as finding one 19-year-old in the entire country of Canada.A representative from one trafficking organization estimated that Aly might fetch $100,000. She looked much younger than 19, and customers of human traffickers are willing to pay more for a youthful appearance.Aly left a scar on her mother's heart that will never leave.(About the Author)This is Donna Stone's second book. "I'm reciting my interpretation of events in the hope that the parents of 18- to 21-year-olds will be aware. I am forever changed by the experience. I had no idea that traffickers invested in groomers on college (and high school) campuses for recruiting. The return on investment is so lucrative that traffickers pay groomers/other kids for years to slowly reel in a good catch."

Marriage
For centuries, marriage has been a very controversial subject. As society has progressed forward, unhappy and failed marriages no longer come as a surprise to the majority of the population. It seems that loving and lasting marriages have become the eighth wonder of the world. Young or old, rich or poor, people of every demographic have experienced divorce in marriages; so much so, we've begun to ask, "Is it even worth the trouble?" In Marriage: A Boomerang in God's Hand, Rachel Penns not only exposes how we've gotten away from the foundation of marriage, but she brings us back to the Creator to examine His original purpose for this relationship. Of all relationships that exist between mankind, God holds marriage between a man and woman in highest esteem. This is the only relationship that is comparable to the covenant between Christ and the Church. Originally intended to be a ministry course essay assignment on marriage, Penns's study and biblical research on the subject inspired her to evaluate her own past relationships, allowing her to grow in understanding and receive personal revelation on the topic. God's design for the marital relationship between a man and a woman beautifully parallels His intention for Christ and the Church. This book is written to encourage and enlighten those who also seek to grow in their understanding of God's design for marriage. Rachel Penns was born and raised in New Orleans, La. After Hurricane Katrina, she relocated to Baton Rouge, LA where she currently resides. She was ordained as a licensed minister in 2016 and has a passion for teaching spiritual foundation principles. She also enjoys serving in her local church and spending her free time with the elderly. She is the mother of four children; three sons and one daughter.
