Book Description
Are we on the cusp of détente with Iran? Conventional wisdom certainly seems to believe so. Since the start of diplomacy between the Islamic Republic and the P5+1 powers (the United States, France, England, Russia, China, Germany) in November 2013, hopes have been running high for a historic reconciliation of Iran’s clerical regime with the West. Yet there is ample reason for skepticism that the United States and its allies can truly curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions by diplomatic means. Moreover, the West’s current focus on Iran’s nuclear program is deeply dangerous insofar as it fails to recognize—let alone address—Iran’s other international activities or its foreign policy aims. Those objectives are global, and they continue to grow in scope and menace. In this sobering book, Ilan Berman illuminates the multiple dimensions of the Iranian threat and exposes the perils of lodging confidence in diplomacy with the Islamic Republic.

upgrade transitive verb 1) to raise the quality of; 2) to replace something with a more useful version or alternative DO YOU WANT SOMETHING BETTER THAN WHAT YOU HAVE? In a relatively short amount of time, you can learn to upgrade every area of your life. But here’s the thing about upgrades: It’s not always about going from bad to good. It’s usually about going from good to even better. We understand this in our daily lives. When cell phones came out, it was revolutionary. But when smartphones came out … well, we all had to have one. We upgraded. If you’re flying somewhere, and they offer a free upgrade to first class, do you refuse? No way! You’ll still arrive at your destination at the same time, but you’ll have traveled in style. One time, my sister and her husband gave my wife and me one of those fancy coffee machines that makes cappuccino, espresso, and a dozen other drinks. I threw my old one-cup coffee machine away. Why? Because an upgrade is always better. What if you could upgrade every aspect of your life? Your thoughts, words, actions, family, work, friends, and even yourself? I’m here to tell you that you can. Don’t settle for second-rate. Ditch the landline, fly first class, and drink great coffee! Whatever shape your life is in, it can get better. And you can have it all for the low, low price of nothing. It’s free. There’s just one catch. You have to give up the old one. Just like you have to give up your seat in coach to fly first class, you have to leave where you’re at now to move up to a better place. The good news is that it’s not complicated. The steps are simple, proven, and straight from an ancient book of wisdom. I am just going to help you walk through them so you can make that glorious exchange and start enjoying the perks immediately. Get ready. It’s time to UPGRADE.

Nikki's Journals
Author: Morris Mason Heldt
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1462815189
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
A group of struggling young screenwriters, in 1947 Hollywood, befriend an older Academy Award winning writer. They study the art of writing and begin to see a promising future when one of the group is murdered. Unhappy with the police investigation they begin to examine the evidence themselves. First, they must answer the question of why would anyone want two dead bodies to act the role of one person. As the talented, young, Hollywood hopeful screenwriters search for their answer, they are confronted with the backdrop of creeping Communism in the film industry. It is a time in our history when a congressional committee, headed by an ambitious, and calculating young United States Senator, searched for Hollywood Communists. And, unless you had a major studio supporting you, you were considered a suspect. When the young screenwriters begin questioning people they quickly find they are making enemies, and the name-calling begins. The story twists with plot turns, as the young writers try to figure out who killed their friend. Was it because she was a Communist, or was going to expose several? As their journey becomes harder they discover a truth about moral conviction with themselves. The surprising ending leads one to believe, regardless of what you know, or whom you know, that we are seldom the image we project. The majority of us will fight to survive and it is only our inner moral compass that prevents us from devouring one another. The characters in Nikki´s Journals are a reflection of most of us . . . and most people can fine one of them to identify with.
