LOS ANGELES – November 9, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Treading Yesterday LLC announces that  ‘NOT A TAME LION’ has won the Best of Festival award presented at the Arlington International Film Festival, in addition to winning the Festival Favorite and Director’s Choice Awards during the Cinema Diverse Palm Springs LGBTQ+ Film Festival.

NOT A TAME LION, the Documentary Feature, recounts the life and works of John Boswell, the Yale Professor who read and translated 14 ancient and modern languages, became a Yale Professor by age 30 and was granted full access to the highly classified and restricted Vatican archives from which he researched four award-winning books, making him a world-renowned expert in Medieval History and Linguistics. John Boswell was also openly gay without apology in an era that was neither tolerant nor accepting. NOT A TAME LION offers first-hand accounts of Boswell’s closest friends, students, colleagues and family members as they recount his life, his works and his final days during which he feverishly worked to complete SAME-SEX UNIONS IN MEDIEVAL EUROPE, a book that changed the trajectory of the Marriage Equality debate, all while privately battling the debilitating effects of AIDS, which led to his death on Dec. 24, 1994, at the age of 47.  

The significance of winning the top award at the Arlington International Film Festival is remarkable, considering the quality of films and given that several in competition won honors at Sundance, Berlin, Cannes, and Toronto. This was not lost on the filmmakers, who expressed their thanks to the festival organizers for championing their film as well as to the Family and Friends of John Boswell who participated in the film’s creation, among them, Patricia Boswell, John’s younger sister who accompanied the filmmakers during the festival that is held annually just outside of Boston.  According to Craig Bettendorf, the film’s director, it’s the authenticity of NOT A TAME LION that is resonating with festival juries and viewers alike, as they experience the story of a person who influenced society to such a great degree but who few remember in 2022. 

Treading Yesterday LLC focuses on the creation of LGBTQ+ stories, including its original series, TREADING YESTERDAY which is now streaming on Tubi and on Dekkoo.

NOT A TAME LION is written and directed by Craig Bettendorf, produced and narrated by Kai Morgan, represented by Alex Nohe of Blood Sweat Honey and distributed by Indie Rights Movies, with an estimated release during the first half of 2023.

COON RAPIDS, Minn. – November 9, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Fulton Books author Coretha Davenport, a proud mother, grandmother, and child of God who works as a program manager for Opportunity Partners, has completed her most recent book “Dreams and Nightmares”: a gripping and impactful autobiographical tale that follows the challenges experienced by the author throughout her entire life from childhood to adulthood and how she managed to survive it all.

“[My] spiritual faith is stronger than ever,” writes Davenport. “At least three times a week, [I am] either engaged in Bible class, church service, or a spiritual women’s group. What encouraged [me] to write was the thought that [I] could hopefully inspire others to come out of the darkness and take a stand in the light. There are a lot of young girls who have been scarred in life from either sexual or physical abuse and who need to know that they, too, can speak out and tell their story.

“[I] once was scarred, but now by the grace of God, [I’m] healed. [I have] learned to make peace with [my] past and forgive those who have afflicted pain in any kind of way toward [me]. … The cycle has to come to an end, so why not break that cycle today.”

Published by Fulton Books, Coretha Davenport’s book is a mesmerizing story that explores how one can use their past hardships to encourage growth and healing in the present through a strong faith in God. Stirring and thought-provoking, Davenport shares her tale in the hopes of helping others in a similar situation make their way towards God’s healing graces and find a fresh start.

Readers who wish to experience this captivating work can purchase “Dreams and Nightmares” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes & Noble.

CLEVELAND – November 9, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Fulton Books author Rahmatu Annoh RN, ND., a registered nurse and naturopathic doctor originally from Ghana, has completed his most recent book “How I Did It: Natural Health Mouth and Teeth Cleaning Whitens, Stops Crowding, Stops Pain, Sensitivity, and No More Loose Teeth”: a powerful and inspiring journey undertaken by the author to find a natural way of healing her teeth after advanced dentistry failed to help her.

“There is a natural cure for everything,” writes Annoh. “Most supposed chronic conditions are chronic because the management of the condition is wrong to begin with, and so it is labeled chronic as long as the underlining problem is not addressed. Most people are taking medications that are killing them slowly, and they are happy with their doctor because he is doing the best he can.

“The best that you can do does not mean it is the correct thing, and until you get the correct thing, you are wasting your time and money. We may not be able to prolong our life, but we will be able to prolong our comfort, so we need to include natural health practitioners in our health care.”

Annoh continues, “I hope this book helps a lot of people. The mouth is the beginning of the gastrointestinal tract, and so knowing how to take care of the mouth is the beginning of health, and wisdom for that matter, and so I say, to your good health.”

Published by Fulton Books, Rahmatu Annoh RN, ND.’s book is a personal and eye-opening account of how one can always take a natural approach with their health and fighting disease through proper oral healthcare. By sharing her story, Annoh hopes to show readers the endless possibilities to be found within homeopathic medication to help people break free from wasting their energy and money on modern medication that may not provide the outcomes they seek.

Readers who wish to experience this thought-provoking work can purchase “How I Did It: Natural Health Mouth and Teeth Cleaning Whitens, Stops Crowding, Stops Pain, Sensitivity, and No More Loose Teeth” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. – November 9, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Fulton Books author Mark Simmons, an Air Force veteran with a passion for the English language, has completed his first book “Another Night Before Christmas”: a whimsical yet sincere sequel to Clement Clarke Moore’s cherished poem, “A Visit from St. Nicholas.” 

“It has been nearly two centuries since the first publication of ‘A Visit from St. Nicholas’ by Clement Clarke Moore,” says author Mark Simmons. “Since my earliest memory of Christmas, like countless other folks, I have revisited the poem every year and have derived pleasure from each reading. It never gets old.”

Published by Fulton Books, Mark Simmons’s book takes place one year after the events portrayed in “A Visit from St. Nicholas.” This year, the story’s narrator finds jolly St. Nick asleep in the living room. He knows he must wake him as it is almost morning, but waking an elf is tricky business. Will the narrator be able to preserve Christmas magic by getting St. Nick back on his sleigh before sunrise?

Inspiration for “Another Night Before Christmas” struck during the pandemic. Every year, Simmons writes an annual Christmas letter to family and friends. Seeking a change of pace in 2020, he composed a sequel to Clement Clarke Moore’s beloved poem. Simmons was surprised by the wave of positive responses he received, some of which suggested he publish his story. He now shares his new take on the Christmas classic with an audience beyond his yearly mailing list.

Readers who wish to experience this delightful work can purchase “Another Night Before Christmas” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes & Noble.

When they got to the church, all the children lined up, smiling and greeting each other. Some of the children’s parents were there lined up and talking to each other.

When deciding on the perfect spot for a new trampoline, there are a few key considerations. Experts in the trampoline industry share the top factors to take into account.

CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand – November 9, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

According to the leading trampoline supplier in New Zealand, SpaceJump, when looking for the right place to put a new trampoline, it’s important to consider the available space. This will also help determine the ideal-sized trampoline. Here the experts share their tips for ensuring the perfect placement for endless hours of fun.

The experts do not recommend placing the trampoline too close to a wall or fence, advising at least 500mm clearance from any obstruction. If space allows, positioning the trampoline in the middle of the yard is a great option, giving plenty of space for jumping and fun. Whether in a corner or in the centre of the yard, choosing a spot that can be viewed from inside means parents can still see the kids while they are playing on the trampoline, says SpaceJump.

Utilising the shade of a tree is also recommended by SpaceJump, if possible, unless investing in a sunshade like The Eclipse, which is designed to keep the sun out. A tree or sunshade can provide protection from the sun and will also protect the trampoline in light rain, just ensure the tree is not hanging too low as this will hamper jumping. It is also important to consider windy areas in the backyard and find the most sheltered spot. 

While grass is the best surface for a trampoline as it will absorb impact, SpaceJump says the ground below a trampoline can also be covered with mulch, commercial sand or wood chips, which will provide a comparable effect. 

Many customers ask SpaceJump if they can put their new trampoline on concrete. The experts say it is not recommended as there is not enough stability and the repeated friction can damage the frame of the trampoline over time.

Experts in the industry, the SpaceJump team has crafted a trampoline fleet with the perfect balance of safety and fun, without compromising on gravity-defying bounce. To shop for the best trampoline New Zealand–wide, visit SpaceJump online today.
