Author: Hendley, Nate, author. Published: 2021 Call Number: 364.15 HENDLEY Format: Regular print Summary: "The sensational true story of how a bank robber killed a man in a wild shootout, sparking a national debate around gun control and the death penalty. On July 24, 1964, twenty-four-year-old Matthew Kerry Smith disguised himself with a mask and a Beatle wig, hoisted a semi-automatic rifle, then held up a bank in North York, Ontario. The intelligent but troubled son of a businessman and mentally ill mother, Smith was a navy veteran with a young Indigenous wife and a hazy plan for violent revolution. Outside the bank, Smith was confronted by Jack Blanc, a former member of the Canadian and Israeli armies, who brandished a revolver. During a wild shootout, Blanc was killed, and Smith escaped -- only to become the object of the largest manhunt in the history of the Metropolitan Toronto Police Force. Dubbed "The Beatle Bandit," Smith was eventually captured, tried, and sentenced to hang. His murderous rampage had tragic consequences for multiple families and fuelled a national debate about the death penalty, gun control, and the insanity defence."--
Author: Mometrix Media LLC. Published: 2021 Call Number: 373.1262 Format: Books Summary: Presents two TABE practice tests and includes an answer key with in-depth explanations. TABE Practice Questions are the simplest way to prepare for the TABE test. Practice is an essential part of preparing for a test and improving a test taker's chance of success. The best way to practice taking a test is by going through lots of TABE practice questions. If someone has never taken a TABE practice test, then they are unprepared for the types of questions and answer choices that they will encounter on the official test. There is a tremendous advantage to someone taking the test who is already familiar with the questions and answer choices. Another advantage of taking TABE practice tests is that you can assess your performance and decide whether you need to study and practice more or if you're already prepared enough to achieve success on your test day. If you do well on TABE practice tests, then you know you're prepared. If you struggle on the practice test, then you know you still have more work to do. Our TABE Practice Questions give you the opportunity to test your knowledge on a set of questions. You could know everything that is going to be covered on the test but still perform poorly if you have not had a chance to practice. Repetition is a key to success and using TABE practice test questions allows you to reinforce your strengths and improve your weaknesses. Detailed answer explanations are also included for each question. It may sound obvious, but you have to know which questions you missed (and more importantly why you missed them) to be able to avoid making the same mistakes again when you take the real test. That's why our TABE Practice Questions include answer keys with detailed answer explanations. These in-depth answer explanations will allow you to better understand any TABE questions that were difficult for you or that you needed more help to understand.

Author: Willingham, Emily Jane, 1968- author. Published: 2020 Call Number: 591.46 Format: Books Summary: A wry look at what the astonishing world of animal penises can tell us about how we use our own. The fallacy sold to many of us is that the penis signals dominance and power. But this wry and penetrating book reveals that in fact nature did not shape the penis--or the human attached to it--to have the upper...hand. Phallacy looks closely at some of nature's more remarkable examples of penises and the many lessons to learn from them. In tracing how we ended up positioning our nondescript penis as a pulsing, awe-inspiring shaft of all masculinity and human dominance, Phallacy also shows what can we do to put that penis back where it belongs. Emphasizing our human capacities for impulse control, Phallacy ultimately challenges the toxic message that the penis makes the man and the man can't control himself. With instructive illustrations of unusual genitalia and tales of animal mating rituals that will make you particularly happy you are not a bedbug, Phallacy shows where humans fit on the continuum from fun to fatal phalli and why the human penis is an implement for intimacy, not intimidation.
