There have been many thrilling and memorable sports rivalries. But none has ever combined such drama and excitement over such an extended period of time and against such a gripping background as the Cold War hockey rivalry between Canada and Russia (known at that time as the Soviet Union or USSR). For decades Canada had reigned unchallenged as the dominant country at the sport-and the pride that came with knowing that their beloved national game was one thing at which they were unquestionably the world's best was a major part of the self-image and esteem of nearly all Canadians. Until suddenly, an interloper appeared that was like no other competitor Canada had ever met. It was a far-off country that lacked advanced equipment and facilities, had only recently taken up the sport, and had even brazenly decided not (as other countries had done) to learn the game as mere pupils of the Canadian masters. Rather, largely through the genius of one remarkable leader, this newcomer would blaze its own trail, audaciously inventing an entirely new style of play, along with a unique approach to skills development and physical conditioning that led to a breathtakingly exciting and effective spectacle that even the game's creators had never conceived. Finally-and perhaps most significantly-this new competitor represented a political system that was openly hostile to the freedom and values taken for granted in the West, and openly proclaimed its superiority, predicting that it would one day spread throughout and dominate the world. Thus, to Canadians, overcoming this unexpected threat became not only a matter of national honor-but also a crusade for the Free World. This newcomer was Russia (the USSR)-and the seeming life-and-death struggle that ensued for four decades is an unbelievable tale that became the greatest sports drama ever known. Here is the never-before told full story of this historic confrontation told from both sides from the people who lived it, and from what was being reported as the events were happening.

My book is about changing the course of how we as people are raised and how to deal with secrets in our families. Generational curses in our families. I talk about the different things that can occur throughout our lives and the impact that it can have on the decisions that we make toward our future. I started off by changing my people, places, and things. I started reading the Bible to myself and my children every night for a year. I joined a local church and rededicated my life back to Christ. I got baptized, and I started to build a relationship with my Creator. I will never give up on Him again, as He never gave up on me, nor will He ever give up on you! If it had not been for God saving me, I wouldn't be here today to tell my story/testimony. I need for my sisters and brothers in Christ to know, just because we go through some terrible things in life doesn't mean we can't be saved. This is my story, but God gets all the glory!God saw that I was worth saving because He had a plan for me, and He has a plan for you! God will show up and show out for His children. So let's make Jesus famous, for He alone is our Creator!PrayerFather God, I thank You for You being You. I thank You for loving me unconditionally. Father in heaven, I ask You to continue to heal and deliver each and every one of us from the strongholds the devil tries to have on us and to break all generational curses that try to come upon us. In Jesus's name,Amen. (John 10:10, Romans 3:23-24, 2 Corinthians 12:8-9, Lamentations 3:22-24)"e;Nothing can be healed if you keep it covered up."e;

The last thing I ever wanted to do was write this book. But as you will see, my life is not entirely my own. I have been working on this book for almost twenty years. But I have been stalling publishing it because it could cost me my anonymity, privacy, and quiet country life. I have everything to lose by publishing this book, but it is so much bigger than myself. I was first shown this book when I was thirteen years old and told that it was the story of my life that was written before I was born. Now as the last task of my life, I must leave a copy of it behind. This book uses the events of my life to explain our relationship with the spirit world. But you are more than welcome to come to your own conclusions about the facts of my life. It would be hard for even me to believe what has happened to me if I haven't been living through it. All I can do is guarantee that everything in this book is true. After forty years of listening to my spirit guides' teachings, they have used science to explain the true meaning of life. They communicate in a form of pure reality that may be difficult for some people to comprehend until you think about every word they say. All I ask is that you remember I am only the messenger, so please don't direct your negative energy toward me. Thanks.

On August 2, 1990, Saddam Hussein launched an invasion of Kuwait that ransacked the country, killed scores of innocent people, and destroyed the country's petroleum infrastructure. Eventually bringing together an allied coalition to turn back Saddam's forces and free Kuwait. But how many people actually know the events occurring in Iraq in the year preceding the invasion from inside the ruling party?I worked as a civilian contractor for close to a year directly for the Revolutionary Command Council, leading a team of Western technicians to modernize banking in the country. On the day of the Kuwait invasion, I, along with hundreds of others were taken hostage as collateral by the Iraqi government. Fearing my own death as well as my immediate colleagues, I led an escape across two deserts five days later to safety in Jordan. I had no previous military training; only the sheer will not to perish as a result of the US government nor forfeit my life for corporate bosses who failed to intervene in any way to help us. This is the story of what I saw in the year preceding Desert Shield that you never heard nor read about, as well as events that followed at the conclusion of Desert Storm. What life was like for a then peace-loving people, the regime and how it operated, the betrayals, the "e;Super Gun"e;, Uday Hussein, the gassing of the Kurds at Halabja, the WMD and the destruction of this stockpile by the US military that caused Gulf War syndrome, and the after effects on our troops which the US government denied for years and years. Thousands and their offspring suffer from these results today and will for generations to come. I never returned to Iraq, but shortly after Desert Storm I did go to perform a similar assignment in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia while the oil wells were still on fire in the desert. There, I was also an "e;insider"e; to the workings of the government, the attempt to recover the stolen gold, the corruption in the ruling family, the hypocrisy of the country, and the plight of the Palestinian people working and living in the kingdom for backing Iraq in its war with the allies. Although I waited a quarter of a century to publish this book for fear of retribution for the material in it, I hope this story sheds light on a war and the destruction of a nation and its people that really did not have to be fought at all. I am still traumatized both mentally and physically from the experience and likely will be for the remainder of my natural life. Believe me, it's a lot easier to do in the movies, and it pays a whole lot better! But it also taught me a valuable life lesson: if you think time heals all wounds, it doesn't. That is why they call a scar a scar!

The Fall of an Angel tells about how the United States justice department uses the charge of conspiracy to put anyone they want into federal prison without any physical evidence at all. The United States is the only country in the world that charges its citizens with conspiracy. This book is a true story that illustrates how the government can breach plea agreements and get away with it. Billy Leland plead guilty, entering a plea agreement with the federal prosecutor. The plea agreement stated that the government would give Billy a ten-year prison sentence and leave his son alone. But when he got to the sentencing phase the judge sentenced Billy to a term of twenty-one years and five years of probation. Billy agreed to plead guilty to some crimes that he didn't commit because the prosecutor told Billy that if he didn't plead guilty to everything in the indictment that he was going to arrest Billy's twenty-two-year-old son. This book illustrates how the federal justice system coerces defendants into guilty pleas. About 97 percent of the federal defendants plead guilty because of this reason. Out of the 3 percent of the defendants that go to trial, only 1 percent win their cases. The Fall of an Angel will open your eyes to the federal justice system.

"e;What, Auntie, you promised you would stop with that stuff. Really!"e; Caroline said. "e;Oh, Caroline, relax, what are they going to do. I am eighty-four years old, and more than likely with my health, I'll only live another year or two, so why worry about it? The risk is not that great. Plus, you know we live in the wild, wild, Midwest, and slightly South. We have a reputation to uphold that we can make it no matter what! And honestly, who can live on social security? And you know those Wall Street thieves stole my savings! So I sell a little fruity tea and weed to keep dinner on the table. What's the big deal?"e; Star said with a crooked smile and hearty laugh. Betty looked over at Caroline, who rolled her eyes. Star pulled up in front of the fruity tea shack and they all got out to go in. Betty whistled. "e;Wow, this is a big shack. I had no idea it was an actual barn back here,"e; she said. Star nodded. "e;Girls, you are welcome to look inside, but I do appreciate discretion with what you will see inside. Not a word!"e; she said with big eyes and a soft voice. "e;Also, the back wall caved in a little from the tornado, so don't go to close to it,"e; Star said. Caroline and Betty nodded and felt nervous. They knew anything could be inside.

If you are a high school basketball coach, you are probably just like me. Most of my life I attended clinic after clinic listening to famous college coaches tell me about their programs. I purchased books and read as many philosophies as a young man could read. I watched so many hours of video. I knew offense and defense as good as any coach in my field but wasn't really getting the results I wanted. But then I realized my approach was totally wrong. I don't have the talent pool the college coaches have at all. Most of my players were home grown ordinary athletes straight from my own elementary schools. That's when I began to streamline my own personalized program. My program would fit my needs and the needs of my student athletes. It would not only make me happy, but it would keep me excited about the game of basketball. So, what did I do? I developed a book that could help the ordinary coach find his own philosophy. Inside you will find snippets that will not only keep you enthused about the game, but it will remind you of what is important in the day to day operations of your own program. Look inside and remind yourself why you love the great game of basketball.

From the Ground Up describes the journey of James Ghi fulfilling his childhood dream of becoming a firefighter. As a premature infant James was not expected to survive. As a child he was underweight, was bullied in school, survived the wrath of an abusive father and stepfather but managed to meet the rigors required to become a firefighter. At each stage of his life he had to adjust to many circumstances, building himself from the ground up. In June 2007 the Charleston Fire Department (South Carolina) suffered the largest loss of life since the events on 9/11 when nine firefighters perished battling a fire at the Sofa Super Store. James had read the various reports written after the fire, recognizing the need for better training in Charleston. His successful career with Fairfax County Fire and Rescue gave him the necessary skills; education and confidence to apply for and accept the position of Chief of Training for the City of Charleston Fire Department. Little did he know his efforts to bring the Charleston Fire Department to nationally recognized training standards would be resisted at all levels and never imagined the efforts Charleston personnel would take to discredit him. Even with the resistance, James was able to bring the Charleston Fire Department training to nationally recognized standards and meet many of the mandates in the various reports, building it From the Ground Up.

It may prove to be of some interest to Americans across the country to gain some insight into the complexities of living near the nation's capital. Every day, over three hundred thousand people commute from the suburbs of Washington, DC, to their jobs in the District or in Northern Virginia. The resulting traffic congestion is typical of any large city. The commuting methodology is not. To alleviate traffic, high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes are designated (HOV-3 for a total of three in the car, the driver picks up two slugs) to encourage commuters to leave their cars, ride with someone else, and gain the advantage of a less heavily traveled road. This is a diary of one of these slug pickup sites. This microcosm of society shows the mind-set of the worker bees in our nation's capital as they arrive at work. The game is played out with regularity. The players become familiar, yet nameless characters. They are the slugs of Tackett's Mill.

This book describes a mentoring relationship that began in 1999 between a forty-year-old, white, upper-class physician and an eight-year-old African American boy from the inner city. It is told in parallel; we each wrote our recollections without reading each other's. This was done so that neither of our writings would influence those of the other. In some cases, the memories actually differ or even conflict. This is exactly the point that the book hopes to convey. Due to our background and environments, we viewed the same events differently, sometimes creating very conflicting memories. This is central to the misunderstandings people often have with one another, as well as those that whole groups may have with one another. It is especially true of the divide that exists between our races today. We must try to see, to experience, and to feel something from a totally different perspective than our own. We hope this book encourages the reader to reexamine relationships between individuals and groups in their own lives from a new perspective, and experience the transformation that can result.

On winter days and nights in the city of Buffalo New York, things were relatively calm and peaceful. But when the United States was drawn into the global threat of World War 2, society became different. There was a buildup of military hardware, and citizens were forced to be on guard all over the country, and the Queen City was no exception. For a young boy who has just started high school, such events were the least of his concerns. Then one mild winter weekend, as he and his friends were enjoying a mischievous time being kids, something mysterious came about when a stranger came to town. Little did he know that getting his nose into somebody else's business could go from being fun to deadly!33

Gracias le doy a mi Dios y a nuestro senor Jesucristo por poner mi corazon al escribir este libro, el cual espero que ayude a todos mis hermanos que estan en Cristo, alrededor del mundo, los cuales padecen de diabetes o tienen diabetes. Si no sabias, como yo no lo sabia, en la decada de los ochenta, en el mundo habia 109 millones de personas con diabetes. Cuando salio la revista que publicaba estos numeros el 13 de junio del 2017, ya habia en el mundo 422 millones de personas con la diabetes en todo el mundo. Esto significa que esta subiendo durante cada decada, mas de 100 millones en todo el mundo. Antes le llamaban "e;El Asesino Silencioso"e;, pero ahora le llaman "e;La Nueva Epidemia Mundial"e;. Sabes por que le llaman "e;El Asesino Silencioso"e;? Porque no te duele nada, solo sientes mucha sed y ganas de orinar varias veces, de dia y de noche, junto a un calor que te hace sudar mucho en la noche mientras duermes.

Far from it.I have written it so that our younger generations will forsake mediocrity and debauchery and live a productive life.I have written it so that every man will have the wisdom to love his wife and children.I have written it so that every woman in this country will fight to live decently and not expect everything from her husband.About the title: The state of Burkina Faso demonstrated its recognition of Blanche with a medal in 2009. In my turn, I wrote this novel to also show our gratitude to her, hence the title. My gratification for you, Mother.

Mark's journey and battle with cancer at the young age of fifty-one came as a complete shock as you can imagine.

"e;I want to be healthy,"e; he said, ready for his golden years, but then suddenly, within just a few short months, everything fell apart! Progressing from no symptoms whatsoever to advanced stage-four non-Hodgkin Burkitt lymphoma in less than three months, Mark was in big, big trouble! He had been diagnosed with one of the most aggressive forms of cancer anyone can get, and so his battle to survive began with the help from his wife and over thirty doctors. Mark poses an interesting question in this book that asks you to reflect on your life, back to the first memories from your childhood. How do our choices in life and the consequences of those choices affect our life's path? Those decisions can ultimately determine our physical and mental health?
