The fifth quarter / by Dawson, Mike,1975-author.(CARDINAL)557488;
Lori Block and her best friend Sophia are dedicated to their Fourth-Grade basketball team, despite being relegated to the 5th quarter, an extra period before the real game starts, where the not-so-good kids play, and the points don't count. That doesn't matter to Lori though, because basketball is a place where working hard and getting better gives her hints of self-confidence. At school, she is awkward and unsure, and at home Lori's parents are consumed by her mother's bid for local government. With athletic promise and a dogged determination to keep improving, Lori pursues her passion while navigating awkward social dynamics, her own expectations and her first overnight away from home. Can she find her confidence in school, at home, and on the court?GN210LAccelerated Reader AR

The securitarian personality : what really motivates Trump's base and why it matters for the post-Trump era / by Hibbing, John R.,author.(CARDINAL)164071;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 243-266) and index.Barefoot over burning coals -- Scared, resentful, destitute hillbillies? -- Authoritarians who dislike authority? -- The phorgotten phenotype -- The Trump venerator next door -- Better secure than submissive -- The many faces of Trump veneration -- Politics and life after Trump."This book identifies the core motivations of Donald Trump's strongest supporters. Previous research suggests that Trump's followers are authoritarians or even fascists-individuals who are comfortable only when a powerful person is controlling their livesand providing direction and certainty in the process. This book advances and empirically supports the thesis that what Trump's base craves is not authority but rather a specific form of security. The disposition of Trump's strongest supporters leads themto strive for security in the face of threats from members of out groups and they define out-groups broadly to include welfare cheats, unpatriotic athletes, norm violators, non-English speakers, people who subscribe to a non-majority religion, people notof the majority racial group, people who do not follow prevalent national customs, and certainly people from other countries. Fervent Trump supporters' primary purpose in life is to protect themselves, their families, and their larger cultural group fromthese outsider threats. A similar motivation is present in subpopulations around the world as can be seen in the Brexit vote in the U.K as well as the success of nativist candidates around the globe. By detailing these desires, this book makes it possible to understand a political movement that many people find baffling and frustrating, which in turn could make it easier for Trump's base and those who stridently oppose Trump to communicate with each other"--

I should have been a statistic -- Truth hurts -- The impossible task -- Taking souls -- Armored mind -- It's not about a trophy -- The most powerful weapon -- Talent not required -- Uncommon amongst uncommon -- The empowerment of failure -- What if?"For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare. Poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a U.S. Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events, inspiring Outside magazine to name him 'The Fittest (Real) Man in America.'. In Can't Hurt Me, he shares his astonishing life story and reveals that most of us tap into only 40% of our capabilities. Goggins calls this The 40% Rule, and his story illuminates a path that anyone can follow to push past pain, demolish fear, and reach their full potential"--Publisher's description.
