Book Description
The Special Investigator team of Matt Diamond and Natasha Cutter had returned to their new offi ce in Beverly Hills California and were going over a large list of potential clients when one caught their eye. They had received a call from Ms. Gloria Goldstein regarding the murder of her parents and the theft of a large twenty-carat light pink diamond from their jewelry store. The police had been of little help and she was most anxious for them to investigate the tragedy. Although the event began in Beverly Hills, the location changed quickly to Johannesburg South Africa and meant that the globe traveling team would once more return to the same country where they had been in their previous case. The hunt for the theft of the diamond and the murder of Benjamin and Rebecca Goldstein had to begin at the original source, the antique studio of Martin Clause in Johannesburg. He was the fi rst one to purchase, what he later called The Empress diamond, from a local black man, for $500,000 and sold it to the Goldsteins for a solid $1,000,000 a few days later. The Empress was the largest light pink diamond ever found in the world and was a chance fi ne in Tanzania. Although vastly under-priced and could be worth millions more, the only place it could demand its real value was in the United States and the Goldsteins were the way to get it to the American market. Entering into the theft and murders were three former American Special Forces veterans and their mission was the pursuit of the Empress. At the same time, there was a sinister fi gure behind all of this with a code name of THE RED FOX that would pay any cost to obtain the Empress. His interest in the Empress was to obtain it for a billionaire, Sir Fredrick Marsh, who wanted it as a birthday gift for his wife. It was now up to Matt Diamond and Natasha Cutter to follow the trail of the Deadly Diamond. A trail that would include the deaths of several others and a diamond that many would believe was cursed. The intrigue of who has it now is an exciting trip and the surprise ending will get the reader out of his seat with the strange twist of faith.

The Deadly Life of Logistics
Author: Deborah Cowen
Publisher: U of Minnesota Press
ISBN: 1452943192
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
In a world in which global trade is at risk, where warehouses and airports, shipping lanes and seaports try to guard against the likes of Al Qaeda and Somali pirates, and natural disaster can disrupt the flow of goods, even our “stuff” has a political life. The high stakes of logistics are not surprising, Deborah Cowen reveals, if we understand its genesis in war. In The Deadly Life of Logistics, Cowen traces the art and science of logistics over the last sixty years, from the battlefield to the boardroom and back again. Focusing on choke points such as national borders, zones of piracy, blockades, and cities, she tracks contemporary efforts to keep goods circulating and brings to light the collective violence these efforts produce. She investigates how the old military art of logistics played a critical role in the making of the global economic order—not simply the globalization of production, but the invention of the supply chain and the reorganization of national economies into transnational systems. While reshaping the world of production and distribution, logistics is also actively reconfiguring global maps of security and citizenship, a phenomenon Cowen charts through the rise of supply chain security, with its challenge to long-standing notions of state sovereignty and border management. Though the object of corporate and governmental logistical efforts is commodity supply, The Deadly Life of Logistics demonstrates that they are deeply political—and, considered in the context of the long history of logistics, deeply indebted to the practice of war.

All Their Graves Are Occupied! His Tomb Is Empty!
Author: James Dove
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595199275
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 430
Book Description
It will simplify & expedite your search for God! The author is a relatively new Christian who has spent time acquiring life-changing information about Christianity. A new Christian usually takes the time to research that which they doubted for most of their lives, to verify it. They have a “show me” attitude and do not “take my word for it” from anyone. Thus they accept only researched information backed up with documented facts and established evidence. Knowledge gained from contemporary Christian scholars, the Bible and really revealing common sense have been used to at the least evoke emotions and a desire to learn more, and at the most for the reader to gain salvation using information that can be researched by looking for it in just about any history book, this book, or from the Bible itself. This book has no agenda nor desire to offend anyone’s beliefs, but rather verifying our belief through research. This was done to verify for the author, his family and anyone else that is searching for God. God is one, not a combination of many religions that contradict each other. God is not associated with contradictions or deceit, and there is just one religion with a living founder thus one religion is true while frankly the rest aren’t. This should bother no one that is after finding the real God and it should not matter which of the religions He truly resides in. Just that He resides. Mankind should simply be concerned with who God is, not being the person who has the right religion. The “right” religion is where God resides, not where we want Him to reside. This book will show that the evidence for the location and identity of God are extremely simple, and easy to find.

Killer Diseases of Women
Author: Prem K. Bhandari
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1450226566
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
Millions of women die each year needlessly and prematurely when a majority of them can be saved through knowledge of various deadly diseases. In spite of the world class healthcare system in the United States, about thirty-five million women suffer from serious digestive problems and about 120,000 die, about twelve million get hospitalized, and about one million women are disabled yearly in the United States. These digestive diseases are intestinal hernias (mostly inguinal), liver diseases including cirrhosis, constipation, diverticulosis, gallbladder diseases, gastritis, esophageal disorders, hemorrhoids, infectious diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, etc. Killer diseases just don't appear suddenly and cause pain, suffering, and eventual death, instead, they develop over time with specific symptoms. Learning to recognize the symptoms of killer diseases can either eliminate them or postpone their debilitating effects for several decades or more by taking remedial measures. Knowledge of various diseases is crucial to recognizing the associated symptoms, and it enables women to deal with the medical community in a manner which is advantageous and beneficial to women. Today women need to manage their own wellbeing through knowledge and meaningful remedial measures. Learning about various diseases, symptoms, and prevention will minimize their dependency on the medical community.

Natural Killer T-cells
Author: Nathan V. Fournier
Publisher: Nova Publishers
ISBN: 9781604562873
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
Natural killer T (NKT) cells are a heterogeneous group of T cells that share properties of both T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. Many of these cells recognize the non-polymorphic CD1d molecule, an antigen-presenting molecule that binds self- and foreign lipids and glycolipids. Upon activation, NK T cells are able to produce large quantities of interferon-gamma, IL-4, and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, as well as multiple other cytokines and chemokines (such as IL-2 and TNF-alpha). NKT cells seem to be essential for several aspects of immunity because their dysfunction or deficiency has been shown to lead to the development of autoimmune diseases (such as diabetes or atherosclerosis) and cancers. NKT cells have recently been implicated in the disease progression of human asthma. The clinical potential of NKT cells lies in the rapid release of cytokines (such as IL-2, IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, and IL-4) that promote or suppress different immune responses.
