    Peter Marins, the lead singer and longtime boss of the trendy and exceedingly popular band Moonspank, decided to end his decades-old association with the group. He was directed to this decision after meeting with legendary Hollywood talent agent Abaddon Mammon, who guaranteed the mop-haired singer unparalleled notoriety, definitive success and iconic, rock-star status, but only if he disassociated himself from the group and went solo. Endorsing the superstar manager''s directives, Peter''s name was changed to Satin, after which incredible achievement resulted. Satin''s career was undoubtedly on the fast track due to the boundless talents of his much-revered envoy. However, there was a unique, disturbing obstacle stemming from his meteoric rise to fame and fortune that the heart-throb singer needed to conquer. Following each of his performances, Satin had the eerie feeling that some unknown, unseen presence was there backstage with him in his dressing room, watching him. Was it trying to harm him or caution him? Or was he just being paranoid? With the assistance of his recent acquaintance, Savannah Davis, the couple embarked on an arduous and unconventional journey to reveal the mystery surrounding this invisible foe. What they ultimately discovered was far more intense than what they bargained for. It could cost them their lives.

    'A Conversation With Corporal Nym' is a work of fiction depicting a conversation between an American journalist and a British veteran on the origins and causes of World War II.  The conversation delves into questions concerning western governments' police organizations, military, and office holders as honoring their oaths of office as well as the real political ambitions and goals of political parties.  Are western governments no more than police states which are run by a Craft's 'Good Old Boys' Gang'?  Are Human and Civil Rights really guaranteed?  Does each and every Individual Citizen of a western state enjoy Civil Rights as set forth in their nation's Constitution?  Do Individuals enjoy the Rights declared by the U.N.'s Universal Declaration of Human Rights or must they submit themselves to or 'initiate' into a craft's cult, gang, party, or union in order to prosper?  Are Individual Citizen's Civil Rights guaranteed in the United States?  Do police officers and police organizations honor their oaths of office and protect the individual without bias?  Is the Individual guaranteed protection of his person along with criminal investigations of reported crimes?  Is the Individual guaranteed the state's pursuing criminal prosecution of those who have committed crimes against him when he contacts the local police, the F.B.I., or the D.O.J.?  Is the Individual guaranteed his Right to the Pursuit of His Own Happiness, the conducting of business, his Right to privacy, and security of his person and personal property?  Is the Individual free to establish relationships with females and enjoy a family?  Is the Individual guaranteed his Parental Rights?  Are specific families and genetic lines controlled and targeted for either success or death by a secret Craft political party?  Are all Americans equal or are entertainers, media, media personnel, and members of the police and bar associations assured protection from criminal investigation and prosecution? Are the modern media and entertainment industries of western states no more than state propaganda ministries?The author of this work of fiction has been the victim of continuing various real crimes.  This work was written even while the victim of such crimes.  Several many entertainers are involved in the crimes.  There are at this time several court cases being pursued involving several of the perpetrators and which are themselves the subject of crimes.  The author's biography and the naming of perpetrators and of witnesses as well as the events of and description of the crimes were not the subject of this fiction.  Another work of nonfiction describing such will hopefully be published to the public if the author is permitted to live to do so.  The author has placed a plea for legal aid in the author's information page. The author is in desperate need of a reliable law firm in order to pursue court actions available to him, to attempt to secure his person against further crimes, and to guaranty his Civil Rights.

  • - A Definitive Guide to the Challenges and Opportunities of Engineering
    av Pe Heflin
    179,-

    This is a book expressly created to provide an aspiring engineering student with information and insight to understand and consider the challenges and opportunities that an engineering education and career presents. The author, an accomplished and widely experienced Certified Professional Engineer, offers significant and rationalized inside views of the journey from college applicant to a satisfying and successful career in engineering.Many high-school grads ponder the question of what they actually want to do with their lives. Many have already developed a general idea of what career path they think they would like to follow, but lack any in-depth understanding of what that selection will actually entail. This is particularly true of the many professions that require a specialty college degree. This book provides a unique experience-based introduction to, and unusual exploration of, the science and art of Engineering from college through career. It begins with the exploration of exactly what “Engineering” actually is, by definition and by practice. It invites the aspiring engineer to explore the opportunities and challenges encountered in the journey from high school graduate through an engineering career. Recognizing that many young people are heavily influenced and drawn to engineering by the perceived glamour of movies, books, TV dramas, news media, etc., and by relatives and friends, the author invites the reader to explore his or her own motivations and deeply rooted interests and curiosities. He recommends a careful self-analysis that might disclose a relatively shallow attraction that might not survive after exposure to the concentrated and technical studies and laboratory work that comprise the basics of an engineering education. The consequent first-year drop-out rate in engineering and/or transfer to other majors is quite impressive. Assuming the reader’s confirmation of motivation and suitability for engineering, the author provides an introduction to, and partial listing of, the many specialty fields of engineering.  He explains the inherent differences that compel each specialty to focus the junior and senior years of in-depth college study on those unique goals, requirements and “tools”. Accordingly, he urges an early reconsideration of his selected specialty. A review of the defined path that transitions from the first several years’ study of generalized basic engineering sciences, to the specific and unique studies required in the final years of that specialty. Having walked the reader through some definition of his/her readiness and degree objectives, the author looks back on a 65 year career, and presents his personal experiences and perspectives on matters and events that can impact or interrupt earning an engineering education and subsequent career. He offers his lessons-learned in a rich and satisfying experience. He cites his personal poorly-selected short-lived initial post-graduate employment, to a position as a novice draftsman in the Machinery Design Department of a major shipbuilding corporation, and, ultimately, to promotion to Director of Engineering Services.  After retirement, he and a uniquely qualified Naval Architect formed an independent consulting company that offered services across a wide range of technical and management issues that further broadened his experiences well beyond design and manufacturing. Along the way, he accumulated a wealth of guidance from highly qualified tradesmen, engineering and design managers, contract and program managers, attorneys, and corporate executives, who contributed to a satisfying and successful career that he happily passes on in this volume.

    Told against and woven into the backdrop of U.S. history, Broken Bloodline animates the trials and tribulations Italian immigrants as depicted by the fictitious Scallaci Family experienced in pursuit of the elusive American dream. Although the Scallaci journey began in 1893 during the mass European immigration, our plot encompasses: mounting uncertainties of the early 1900s, persecutions suffered amidst the 1910s, decadences embodied during the1920s, deprivations endured throughout the 1930s, brutalities inflicted within the bellicose 1940s, ascensions achieved during the booming 1950s and tumult  born of the 1960s. Broken Bloodline is narrated by anti-hero protagonist, eighteen-year-old Pasquale Patsy Scallaci as he recounts the Scallaci family odyssey as conveyed to him by his paternal grandfather, Pasquale. As the storyline unfolds, we are offered a bird’s eye view of Patsy’s transition from the uncertainties of youth to the confidence of manhood achieved and life-direction realized as vitalized via classic coming-of-age novels “Stand by Me” and “The Outsiders”. Patsy is an “every man”, at a crossroads between immaturity and maturity, caught at the nexus of adolescence and adulthood. His journey will be familiar to readers of classics “Catcher in the Rye” and “A tree grows in Brooklyn”. His final destination will tear at your heart and leave you yearning for more! This book opens during the summer of 1969, but fluidly traverses through the 20th Century and culminates back in ‘69. Patsy’s story begins in the Bronx., but storyline venues seamlessly transition to Italy, New York City, Viet Nam, the Adirondacks in upstate NY, France, Germany etc. Our narrative provides an insider’s perspective into the joys and difficulties of cultural integration. This primary can best be described as a blend of two novels, “The Godfather II “and “Once Upon a Time in America.” There are nine primary characters, Patsy, his father Vincenzo, grandfather, Pasquale, great uncle, Natale, his love interest, Laura, his “uncle” Johnny Muller, Johnny’s older brother, Dr. Carl, and Otto, caretaker of the Muller country Estate, and Jack Nulty, the NYPD detective. Vincenzo, the father-figure, Natale and Pasquale embody and vitalize the saga of U.S. history as seen through the eyes of immigrants. An assorted ensemble of supporting personalities brings intrigue, amusement, and excitement to the storyline. Secondarily, an underlying “whodunnit" subplot unveils a tale of serial murder, intrigue, and resurrection from the abyss of an uncertainty shrouded in mystery to the jubilance of recognizing a self-worth built upon the backbone of ancestry, buttressed by the foundation of family loyalty. It is the trail of the Broken Bloodline.  This substory text presents as an amalgam of two novels,” The Boys from Brazil” and “Then There Were None”.

    The turmoil that we see in the Catholic Church today begins to unravel in an idyllic Polish Catholic Church in Detroit, Michigan in the 1950’s. A priest’s body found hanging in a church belfry appears to be an apparent suicide but evolves into an investigation of suicide, accident, or possibly murder.Father John Paziek, a battle-hardened World War II former chaplain is the assistant pastor at Saint Francis Church.  As he assists the police into what happened, he seeks help from an unlikely source – Calvin Teasley, the operator of a blind pig in the black ghetto of Detroit.Father John is also solicited by the Detroit Archdiocesan Bishop to seek out other priestly problems in the Church. Conflict with the Bishop’s goals to protect the Church clashes with Father John’s goals of protecting any possible victims. A baroque painting in the Bishop’s study takes on a symbol representing the story and the conflict in the Catholic Church.

The intent is to create a desire for delving into God's word and studying it and memorizing scripture to be able to draw upon at any time, so that God's word would be in your heart and mind.

  • - Using Objects to Find Joy in Writing
    av Karen Tischhauser
    345,-

    If I want to get good writing from students, any students, I need to give them an object-something they can touch or hold or see. There is something almost magical about writing when a physical object is involved. Some of the best writing I have received from students has come from peanuts, acorns, shoes, stones, sticks, keys, boxes, or pictures. As writers, we need to engage our senses to make our writing real. Something happens when multiple parts of the brain engage in the writing process. Depth occurs. True creativity emerges. Writing, its joy and fun and wonder, simply happens.I hope to equip you with a few things that have provided fun and joy in writing in my classroom, prompts that have consistently resulted in writing-worth-reading. In most cases, these prompts require a number of objects, so planning ahead is encouraged. I hope that I can help you and your students find joy in this complex process, because writing is work. Then, once the joy is found, you and your students can put this newfound love of words into different forms for different purposes.
