  • - A Narrative on Political Egotism, the Politics of Narcissism, Character Assassination and Egocentrism, and the Decay of Democracy
    av Austin Whitman
    285,-

    The U.S. Constitution says the country’s vice president and cabinet can declare the president unfit to discharge the powers and duties of his office. It’s an extreme measure that’s never been used before—and Nolan Doldrums just might force this historical move.Nolan Doldrums. A boastful, egotistical oil magnate, political novice…and newly elected president of the United States. This narcissistic bully has set the country on a fiery path: fights about race relations, immigration, battles with the press and other constitutional fights are raising tensions that are fracturing the country and tearing apart both the Doldrums’ administration and his own party.PolitEGO: A Narrative on Political Egotism, the Politics of Narcissism, Character Assassination and Egocentrism, and the Decay of Democracy is fiction, yet it is also a social and political commentary. Written by Austin Whitman, who has worked in state government and in Washington, DC, PolitEGO is the terrifying, yet, timely narrative of how a Machiavellian leader can bring the U.S. to the brink of war, civil conflict, and economic crisis.

  • - America Battles Against Cold Fusion with the Milky Way Federation
    av Dennis Freestone
    275,-

    In the "Key Lime Wars," Soren Kierkegaard, the son and grandson of the famous philosopher of the same name, is pitted against the American National Security State in the battle to install Milky Way Federation supplied Cold Fusion reactors on a global basis the help the Earth to avert the impending global warming crisis. The United States bitterly opposes Cold Fusion: if adopted, global oil profits would disappear and the dominance of the U.S.  in the world economy with it.Soren is an outlier. A human from the Milky Way Federation whose family has long lived here. With the aid of MWF technology, he runs a key lime export business. The earthly key lime is favored throughout the MWF as uniquely suited to the exotic beverages favored throughout the MWF. In recent years, because of unique aspects of Earth culture, mainly the sport of baseball and affection for modern be-bop jazz, MWF tourists have been drawn in large numbers to earth, to jazz festivals and major league baseball. MWF tourists are (almost) indistinguishable from the local Earth population. The tourists come to Earth on the "Bump," a faster than light portal. But recently the Bump has presented health problems and the MWF has suspended its use. For that reason, the outliers are fleeing the planet and only Soren is left to implement the humanitarian Cold Fusion assistance project.Reluctantly, Soren takes on the job, mainly out of loyalty to his philosopher father. His effort is immediately complicated by the participation of his militant (communist) girl friend, Miko Matsunaga. With Miko as his rambunctious ally, it seems doubtful Soren will ever be able to succeed with the global installation of Cold Fusion., In fact, almost immediately, Miko is captured by American forces.The battle is drawn. Miko must be saved; Cold Fusion has to go forward. But at what dire cost to Soren and Miko?

  • - Some Key Concepts and Practices
    av Alois (Al) F Kertz
    493,99

    Looking for a technical but practical science-based book on Dairy Calf and Heifer Feeding and Management? Are you a field person such as a nutritionist or veterinarian or calf/heifer specialist, a commercial dairy or calf/heifer operation, a student, or dairy scientist? Al Kertz has spent 46 years doing calf and heifer research, making on-farm visits and evaluations, conducting dairy training of employees, interacting with scientists and technical people, publishing 17 scientific articles in this area, reading and studying the scientific literature, and writing articles since 2001 for Feedstuffs (>110) and Hoard's Dairyman (> 59). After periodic requests to publish a book in this area and with the approval of Feedstuffs, this book has been compiled by amalgamating, organizing, and editing many Feedstuffs' articles into a book with 9 chapters encompassing an Introduction and USA Demographics, Colostrum, Milk Replacers, Calf Starters, Water, Post-weaned Transition Month, Heifers, Other Management Issues, and Evaluations. The focus of the book is on some key concepts and practices, and it can serve as a technical reference for a variety of people. While its focus is on the USA, Kertz has spent nearly 20 years doing consulting work in over 20 countries where he finds the science and applications similar, albeit in the metric system. Alois (Al) F. Kertz grew up on a small Missouri dairy farm. He earned B.S. and M. S. degrees in dairy husbandry and nutrition from the University of Missouri under the tutelage of John Campbell before completing 2 years of US Army active duty as a research Nutrition Officer, and then managing food supply for military operations in Thailand. At Cornell University, his major professor was J. T. (Tom) Reid with a Ph. D. thesis project on growth and development of cattle. That became a great platform for understanding and working with calves, heifers, dry cows, and lactating cows and their bodily changes and metabolism. In 1973, he began employment under the direction of J.P. Everett, Jr. at Ralston Purina Company. He became another mentor from whom Al began to learn about calves and heifers. The basis for this book are the many Feedstuffs columns which he has written-many of which are excerpted and edited into this book; the Young Calf Model from the 2001 Dairy NRC publication for which he was a reviewer; and the 100-year review in the December 2017 Journal of Dairy Science on Calf Nutrition and Management made possible only through the major work by 5 co-authors: Mark Hill, Jim Quigley, Jud Heinrichs, Jim Linn, and Jim Drackley. In addition, there were the on-going grounding and understanding of practical applications provided by visiting, reviewing, and developing recommendations for many dairy operations in the U.S. and in many other countries as well. These visits often provided insights into how science could meet application. That became an on-going learning process for if the science was not applicable, then maybe we did not understand the science, or how to apply it. This book is designed to be a handy reference for field people and students, and as a reference for scientists in their teaching and research to understand concepts and how they are applied to feeding and managing dairy calves and heifers.

    "Not since Elmore Leonard's seminal Get Shorty has a book so brilliantly skewered all things Los Angeles than Tom Sawyer's Cross Purposes.  One of the creative forces behind Murder She Wrote, Sawyer plays it all for fun in this masterfully wry, sardonic parody of a world you literally have to experience to believe.  The result is comic farce of Hiaasen-esque proportions, populated by all manner of rogues, ruffians, and refugees from a modern-day Damon Runyon opus.  Zany, sidesplitting fun!" ~ Jon Land -- Bestselling author of The Tenth Circle & Strong Rain Falling“Incredible – a really great thriller, and a hoot to read! You’ll see the characters, and laugh yourself silly. I love it!” ~ Erskine Rogers – Erskine Overnight Talk Radio“Magnum P.I., Inspector Clouseau, Rockford, Mike Hammer and Barnaby Jones: Mix them all together in a blender and you won’t even come close so you better add a touch of Maxwell Smart to try and equal Barney Moon.

With over 70 bodies buried on the 2,800 acre farm and dozens of others scattered around the country, the body count was extreme. But with murder, comes the ghostly remains of the dead. Faced with angry spirits and buckets full of body parts brought up by their plow, the farm’s new owners contacted S.P.O.O.K.S Paranormal team for help.

    Midnight Concessions is a compelling read.  Inspired by the Edward Hopper painting “Nighthawks”, the novel introduces the reader to the four individuals captured within Hopper’s masterpiece and provides their histories.   Jay, Osvaldo, Stephanie and Thorpe all meet regularly in the early morning hours in Phillies Diner.  Each is running away from traumatic events of their past, hiding in plain city in the City.   Each patronizes the diner regularly and their stories are told through dozens of songs played on the old-fashioned jukebox in the diner.      Jay struggles with intense sadness over the loss of his wife, Lara, to cancer, a loss he has not been able to come to grips with even though five years has passed.  Through his musical selections, we learn their remarkable love story, a story Hollywood might have a hard time properly scripting given their improbable courtship.  Osvaldo, the sole employee of the diner during the overnight hours is the guardian of the diner. His mother’s instincts enabled him to flee his Sonoran homeland just before his entire family was killed by a drug cartel that his uncle had ripped off before disappearing.  Osvaldo lives in fear that the cartel is still seeking him to finish the job and is rapidly tiring of constantly living on the edge.  Stephanie is a complex character in that she is haunted by events which occurred during her formative years.  Stephanie’s self-exile to the City is the result of having been betrayed by every single person she loved in her life.  Now she lives an uncertain life realizing the only person she can really trust is herself.  Although Jay is mired in his grief, and Stephanie is shackled by her complete distrust of anyone other than herself, each is strangely drawn to the other.  For much of the book, this unusual attraction is told by their conscious and unconscious reactions to the songs played by the other.  Thorpe is fleeing from past crimes, fearful that someday his sordid past will catch up with him.  Thorpe unknowingly places the diner and its patrons in grave danger through a poorly thought out plan which would enable him to appear heroic during the course of a crime and thus wins Stephanie’s affection.Within the diner’s confines each of our damaged characters finds a sense of community and via the music of their lives that we are able to gain a complete picture of the person they were, are now, and strive to be.  Each ultimately comes to the conclusion that while you can run from the past, you cannot hide from it and we see their decisions to return to their past lives seeking some measure of redemption.   They fail to consider are the pitfalls awaiting them and the steep price that will be exacted of them for their harbored hopes and dreams.   Midnight Concessions is a story rich in human emotion.  It is a story of improbably love, crushing loss, sadness, anger, disgust, contempt, shame, fear and guilt.   It is a story of the triumph of the human spirit recognizing that in the midst of utter desolation, the possibility exists that through understanding and hope, joy can be found in the ashes of a life thought forever lost. The shocking ending is one that few readers will see coming!

  • - Racism, Sexism, Heightism, and Avoiding the Big Victim on Campus Club
    av Leslie Bingham
    239,-

    Do you hate discrimination, the victim mentality, identity politics, and Buzzfeed? Do you like the thought of everyone having equal rights, being treated equally, taking accountability for their lives, and seeing Buzzfeed destroyed? Then we should be best friends, and this book is for you!Heightism is the discrimination against short people (or, more specifically, short men), and is just as real as the other forms of discrimination you hear about daily, such as racism, sexism, or homophobia. But because we’re not a protected class under the law, it’s an injustice that society has been accepting of for far too long, and one most people haven’t even heard of yet.Short men face a wage gap that’s more severe than the gender wage gap. We’re also more at risk of mental health issues due to bullying and a lack of self-confidence, which could lead to higher rates of suicide when compared to other demographics. If you want to see what real systemic discrimination looks like, look no further than women’s unwillingness to date shorter men.Yes, I went there.Are you triggered yet?While the discrimination we endure is similar to that of those in the federally protected groups, we shouldn’t resort to the same pointless mindsets or tactics such as the victim mentality or identity politics that are so prevalent in society today. Playing the victim based on the color of your skin or the genitals you possess can get you some much wanted sympathy from certain segments of society, but it’s also one of the biggest factors helping keep our nation politically divided today.Besides, calling out racism or sexism where it simply doesn’t exist, just as societal influencers like NFL player Michael Bennett or tennis superstar Serena Williams does, cheapens real discrimination. Do you want short men to start calling out everyone for being a heightist when anything negative happens to them?Don’t worry, we won’t, because we’re better than that.This book, while it introduces you to heightism, is about rising above the victim mentality, identity politics, and the political pettiness and hatefulness that is getting worse year after year. It’s about changing yourself to change the world instead of demanding others to change to appease you. It’s about trying to find common ground by listening to others. It’s about realizing we’re all hypocrites, albeit well-meaning hypocrites, when it comes to fighting for what we believe in.Also, it’s about boycotting and destroying Buzzfeed.I’m fortunate to quote some of my favorite influencers in the book, such as Dave Rubin, Cassie Jaye, Condoleezza Rice, Christina Hoff Sommers, Ben Shapiro, and Darryl Davis. They stand up for what they believe in and don’t back down when controversy arises, yet they all remain respectful and keep an open mind to those they may disagree with. If you’re a fan of the Intellectual Dark Web (IDW), you’ll enjoy this book.While you won’t agree with everything I say, my hope is that we can all learn something from each other.Act accordingly.
