Mail fraud and wire fraud are among the most common white-collar cases prosecuted by the US government. Barely a day goes by without a mail fraud or wire fraud case appearing in the newspaper or on television news. The headlines are sensational: "e;Businessman Defrauds Clients of Millions of Dollars"e; or "e;Local Church Members Defrauded of Millions,"e; but what exactly are mail fraud and wire fraud?This book examines these two related statutes to help laymen understand what these statutes are and, just as importantly, what they are not. It goes behind the headlines to examine the arcane language of the laws and uses hypothetical real-world examples to make the statutes understandable to everyone. It explains concepts like "e;a scheme or artifice to defraud"e; or "e;an intent to defraud"e; so that the reader can truly understand what the media is reporting.These two statutes also present traps for the unwary. Not every business deal that fails to work out is a fraud. Not every inaccurate statement made in a business setting is a "e;fraud."e; There are innocent mistakes. Understanding the difference between a crime and a bad idea is important to understand when the statutes should be applied and when they should not. Chapter after chapter, this book shines a light on these important distinctions.The information provided in this book does not, and is not intended to, constitute legal advice; instead, all information, content, and materials are provided for general informational purposes only.

Was humanity cursed after 9/11?These are trying times for many people. Quality of life seems to be on an accelerating downward slide that began on September 11, 2001. It is as if an unknown hand were tracing downward strokes on a cosmic touchscreen.Some would say the hand would be divine. Others, demonic. Still, others would blame witchcraft and black magic. Environmentalists might define the hand as humanity's own. Scientists would rule themselves out and deny that any science could be mad. Not so fast, inventors might say. No one knows what innovations lie ahead or what unforeseen discoveries have not yet been made.Perhaps the guilty fingers are not fingers at all but the claws of a malevolent beast that haunts civilization and draws its power from a curse conjured from the bowels of the unknown.In this work of imagination, all things are possible.

Drawing from a deep well of Indian and Afghan knowledge, Nasiri has compiled a capitulating story of his father's escape from Afghanistan at age twelve in 1929 to India while Nadir Shah usurped Kabul throne from Habibullah Kalakani. Kalakani was illiterate and the only Tajik Amir in the history of Afghanistan. Nasiri's grandfather, Malik Zaman Nasiri of Farza, Kohdaman, was a supporter of Kalakani and was executed by Nadir Shah along with Kalakani after he lost the throne, following a nine-month hiatus.Nasiri writes a gripping story of his father suddenly waking up in the middle of the night, bullets and bombs flying all over. As if a stone was hurled at the sleeping birds' nest, they all had to fly in the dark night, ironically guided by the light of the cracking bullets and shattering of cannon fire.In 1980, walking in his father's footsteps after almost fifty years, Nasiri goes on to narrate the story of his retreat from Afghanistan to save his life and that of his young wife and eighteen-month-old son from the clutches of Marxist regime of Kabul, who overthrew the ruling republic of Mohammad Daoud in a bloody coupe in April 1978. It was an age of tumult, Nasiri writes. Nasiri lands in India with the desire and urgency to migrate to the safe haven of the United States, his lifelong dream and subject of his dissertation when graduating from master's at Aligarh University IndiaNasiri has written his story as an outsider looking in Afghanistan's social and political upheavals. He returned to his fatherland, fulfilling his dad's desire to start a new life in his land in 1971. He was back in India in 1980.

A woman struggled to find the answer as to why her parents excluded her from the family because she was told that they did not want her to disgrace them if she became pregnant while unmarried. The parents chose their second daughter and not her other four siblings to be excluded from the family. She was emancipated to a man who was a total stranger to them. After she was married and had no children for twelve years, they still excluded her and instructed her siblings' children not to have anything to do with her children because of where they were born. The parents could not control this married daughter, so they talked down to and disowned her and her family. Many adversities came her way, but the blessing outweighed them all because God put other people in place to fill her needs and keep her uplifted. Her husband had multiple college degrees, and her sons were college-educated. This is a journey of a woman who showed you how she lived her best life when odds said otherwise. She maintained respect for her wedding vows and showed how to keep her husband head of household through adversity. She taught her children respect, hard work, and how to successfully, when one thing fails, try another until you find peace and happiness. She kept the mindset of being a leader and not a follower to maintain her best life through adversity. She was determined to prove to herself that she could survive this life and make her own world of peace and happiness.

For many years, Jeffrey Demitrack searched for a meaningful and fulfilling relationship and, most of all, hoped that one day he would find a significant other who understood and unconditionally accepted his struggles with epilepsy. People have their insecurities, and relationships already are hard without throwing seizures into the mix, so his search has been a challenging one. When first diagnosed with epilepsy at ten years old, he knew that society believed many negative stigmas about the terrible illness. This would surely be an obstacle when communicating about epilepsy to dates and potential partners. The stress of relationships, the anxiety of illness, and the impact of seizures on mood and behavior all played a part in making his interactions tough and, many times, traumatic. Significant others and dates got to witness some of his worst seizure moments. The seizures often came with blood and scars and sometimes got nasty. This is a story that gives insights about overcoming pain and suffering from a brutal and relentless disorder but, at the same time, explores the complexities of intimacy, foreplay, conflict, and the overall process of maturing to be a better lover in a relationship. He details the traumas of epilepsy and the passions of love but, at the same time, explains the confusion and darkness one might find oneself in with such losses of consciousness.

Their wandering brought them into contact with new minerals and food sources to supply the growing population. The biggest discovery, however, was that Oagoons were not the only people in the world. The aggressive Moogites eventually coexisted with the Oagoons on a new island. Until over centuries, the volcano and the Moogites forced the latter-day Oagoon leader Igon to choose whether to fight, become subservient, or to find another alternative.

In the year of our Lord, 1722, Queen Sarafina Bellerose ruled the kingdom with two fists of iron, a step ahead of King Cole Victor XIX. Truth is said, the king allowed her all power. It amused him to witness her torturing his many beautiful mistresses. Fact of the matter is, the queen did not cleave beauty in her face, but she clenched in her hand the king's heart, and she sat on his throne.Behold, then there is Lady Mia Stonebrook, and she will scheme with the devil for her chance to beguile the king, who easily falls prey for many beautiful lady seductive games, and he has had many. The most powerful royal lords and ladies in the kingdom made epic mistakes by misjudging Lady Mia, most so Queen Sarafina.The royals and the creme de la creme attended many luxurious parties. They dressed in the most extravagant attire to sit together at the most lavish suppers. They reside in gorgeous castles, great houses, country villas, and chateaus, scheming against one another, committing deadly treason, repulsive incest, shocking adultery, distasteful family hatred, and horrifying murder committed in a very sinful, still godly manner, weaved in this story with a surprising twist.
