The book is a telling of the work-a-day dreary lives of Americans: wards of the state, small-time money-grubbers, high school pranksters, simpleton geniuses--the ones nullified and canceled by their culture, society, and country--the ones affected by the political climates of the day only wanting to achieve some form of happiness and stability in their lives. They search for it in the various corners and niches their society has left for them and discover the interesting surprises that lay there. It is a Chronicle of American Life and the surveys and Scams that go along with it.In Kirk Andersen's second book, he has written what he feels are slices of American Life. Stories that portray normal people and their experiences in Modern America. The stories could be looked upon as social justice literature but are really just a narrative of the way things are or could be.

If God prompts you to do something, He will provide the means to do it.The story of radio station KHOF-FM in Southern California is a good example.The pastor of a small church was prompted to start a Christian radio station, something unheard of and seemingly impossible in those days.There was no money available at the time to do such a thing. God provided what was needed including providing the writer of this book and his training and experience.There were many serious moments on the air but also many funny and interesting occasions behind the scenes and off the air. This book relates both of these sides of the story of this historic station and the author's experience as a part of it.

After failing to solve a prolonged case involving an untraceable serial killer, prominent FBI agent Lee Wong resigned himself from office and went into isolated depression, firmly believing that his glory days were over. Roughly half a decade later, he received a call from his former coworker and close friend who proposed a case that would promise redemption. Reluctant at first, Lee accepted the job with the slight hope of turning his stagnant life around. His hope was answered when he entered the crime scene; however, his new meaning in life was far from his expectations.

Our country was founded by the people, for the people, yet the people have no say so in how the country is run. We put our lives in the hands of complete strangers. We are more divided than ever. Someone has to try to unite everyone. Not just one type of person but all Americans that are here now and those to come. That is what this country is about, or at least supposed to be. We have lost our focus as a country when instead we should be focused on the people of this beautiful country. Nobody can control what family they are born into but you can control the person you become. Until we rise above the hate and stupidity, together, we are in trouble.

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.

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.

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.

Being islanders, they naturally became seafarers, moving from dugouts to hide boats and evermore efficient vessels.

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.
