I plotted our sun's course through space to discover that our sun was born in the constellation Orion. After the planets were formed Earth was covered with a five-mile-thick coating of ice one billion years. We eventually drifted near the Sirius multiple star system and little Sirius B (1.5 solar masses) grabbed hold of our sun putting it in orbit around Sirius A. During the rein of the dinosaurs the atmospheric pressure was around 30 pounds per square inch. Now it is 14.5 pounds per square inch. Before our sun was captured by the Sirius system earth had an atmosphere of 750 pounds per square inch. Such an atmosphere extended 2,500 miles above the planet. There was no way sunlight could thaw out mile-deep ice over the oceans. It took the power of a white dwarf to get life started. Our sun does not have enough power to keep us out of the ice ages otherwise we wouldn't have them!Cosmological Ice Ages Solved: the greatest mysteries of all time! Where was our sun born? What took Earth out of a billion year ice age? What made all the coal, oil and limestone? How did Earth get a 20.8% oxygen atmosphere? Where did the energy come from to make all the coal, oil and limestone? Who, what, when and why was the moon brought into orbit around Earth?By Henry Kroll 384 pages 8.5 by 11; quality trade paperback (soft cover); Catalog #08-0164; ISBN 1-4251-7062-5; US$31.35, C$31.35, EUR21.42, £16.19About the BookI plotted our sun's course through space to discover that our sun was born in the constellation Orion. After the planets were formed Earth was covered with a five-mile-thick coating of ice one billion years with an atmospheric pressure of over 750-pounds per square inch. Sunlight could not penetrate such an atmosphere extending 2,500-miles above the planet. We eventually drifted near the Sirius multiple star-system. Little Sirius B (1.5 solar masses) grabbed hold of our sun putting it in orbit around Sirius A.Earth has lost 98% of its atmosphere (AKA radiation shield). Our sun does not have enough power to keep us out of the ice ages. The additional light and heat from Sirius star system that melted the ice caps and got life started in the oceans. Over time the 750 PSI carbon dioxide atmosphere was laid down as coal, oil and limestone using photosynthesis and light from Sirius A and B. Dinosaurs couldn't live in today's atmosphere because their lungs were too small. 65-million years ago the atmosphere was 30 to 60 PSI. Earth has lost 98% of its atmosphere. It is now 14.5 pounds per square inch. We have a limited time to get our act together and get off the planet to seed life in other biospheres. www.GuardDogBooks.com Wholesale orders (20 or more): www.Trafford.comwww.AlaskaPublishing.comAlso: www.Amazon.comwww.AmazonUK.comwww.Barns&Noble.com www.GuardDogBooks.com www.AlaskaPublishin.com

Canada currently has the fairest and most comprehensive charter of rights and freedoms in the world. It is the most important set of laws in Canada, as it overrides all other Canadian laws, including all municipal and provincial statutes. And, the charter was intentionally designed to be difficult to change. With this charter, truthful, proven and demonstrable harm just occur before punishment may be legally imposed (demonstrable justification). This is similar to the charter's guaranteed right of liberty (doing non-harmful actions). A law that has the potential of convicting a person who has not really done anything wrong offends the principles of fundamental justice; and such a law violates a person's right to liberty, under section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Each person is the proper guardian of their own health, whether bodily, or mental and spiritual. The right most valued by civilized man is the right to be let alone. Specific charter rights also apply to arrest, detention, and bail requirements.

Nuestros peces fluviales es fundamentalmente una obra de lectura temática. A pesar de los términos científicos que se leen en ella --- incluye un glosario que los aclara --- no está ni mucho menos dirigida a los especialistas en la materia; sino al lector medio de cualquier edad comprendida entre la adolescencia y la madurez.En cierto sentido, este libro viene a llenar parte del vacío informativo que en los últimos dos decenios han estado creando las Guías de los peces de Europa y de España, publicaciones extranjeras admirables en todos los conceptos pero en las que --- quizás por falta de espacio --- se representan muy pocas de nuestras especies y se da de ellas una descripción excesivamente sintetizada.La primera parte de nuestro libro reúne artículos no extensos en los cuales secomentan aspectos variados v. gr. el estado actual de la hidrosfera, los nombresde nuestros ríos principales y sus afluentes, y la clasificación sistemática de los peces; haciéndose también un resumen de la ictiología del pasado, con mención de nombres de ictiólogos hist-ricos. Contraviniendo la existente costumbre de dedicar en libros de este estilo unas páginas a la pesca deportiva de río, no hemos redactado ni un solo párrafo con semejante objetivo, por considerarlo en esta ocasión innecesario.En la segunda parte o Rudimentos de ictiología se incluyen conocimientoselementales de morfología y estructura interna de los vertebrados acuáticos,comentándose también los caracteres esenciales y el funcionamiento fisiológico de sus principales órganos. La tercera parte trata de la descripción e ilustración de las especies de nuestra fauna ictiológica continental, formando un catálogo que es la parte más voluminosa del libro. Cada artículo de pez comentado en detalle incluye una ficha con nombres científicos y vulgares de la especie.

Such was life at The Ranch. It was situated on Groom Lake, nearly 100 miles northwest of "Lost Wages," Nevada. In the early sixties I arrived there as Hamilton Standard's engineering representative, covering our products on the top-secret plane, the A-12.The plane was designed, built and concealed by Kelly Johnson and his team of top aerospace engineers at a facility inside Lockheed. Kelly named the building, the "Skunk Works."To test fly the airplane, they needed a large secure site. That was where I ran into John Gardner. I later discovered that John was Kelly's thermodynamics and heat transfer expert. Very few Hamilton Standard personnel were cleared for the program, and those were sworn to absolute secrecy...

Scenario Selling: Technology and the Future of Professional Selling is a book about professional selling - what salespeople do with and for customers - and how it's changing due to advances in technology. Since 1997 sales-technology expert Patrick Sullivan and psychologist Dr. David Lazenby have studied how technology has historically altered successful sales tools and methods. This book is the result of that research. Readers will gain an understanding of the changes required for salespeople and the selling profession to survive and thrive in the Digital Age.The development and widespread use of Digital-Age technologies has resulted in and continues to introduce significant changes in the way people live, work, learn, buy, and sell. Will technology eliminate the need for salespeople?Within these pages you'll discover why today's Digital-Age technologies may well replace many salespeople; and be introduced to perhaps the only sales method and toolset that will make salespeople irreplaceable: ScenarioSellingSM.ScenarioSelling isn't a new sales technique...it's a new sales process. It represents the first major change in sales process since consultative selling was introduced over 40 years ago. ScenarioSelling provides the logic and framework for a whole new way of selling - a model that will surpass the current paradigm of consultative selling in productivity, personal touch, and professionalism.ScenarioSelling explains the knowledge, skills, and tools required for just-in-time (fast) professional selling. It results in a significant reduction in the time required for complex decisions and sales, which can be reduced to hours rather than weeks or months while dramatically improving the customer's sales or service experience.Are you willing to be influenced to improve the way that you sell? If not, don't read this book. Those who understand this system will create more value for their customers, provide a better customer experience, build stronger customer relationships, gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace, and thrive. Those who don't may lose out to competitors who will.

Boys of the Clouds tells the fascinating stories, in their own words, of over seventy veterans of the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion during the Second World War. The Battalion, part of the British 6th Airborne Division, was among the very first Allied soldiers to land on French soil on June 6, 1944. Despite a widely scattered drop, they managed to take and hold all their objectives on D-Day, and continued to hold off German counter attacks through that fateful summer.After suffering heavy losses in Normandy, the unit returned to England in September 1944 to refit and train for the next airborne operation. This training was interrupted when they were hastily sent to defend against the German offensive in the Ardennes, commonly known as the Battle of the Bulge. They were the only Canadian unit to take part in this action. After the threat had passed, and the German offensive halted, they once again returned to England to prepare for the next drop.This finally came on March 24, 1945 when the Allies were able to cross the Rhine in a massive combined airborne and river crossing operation, the largest the world has ever seen. Success came quickly on the drop zone and within three days, they embarked on a hectic journey that would take them from the Rhine River all the way to Wismar on the Baltic Sea by May 2nd, where they linked up with Russian forces. This historic meeting signified the end of the war in Europe.The Battalion then had the honour of being the first Canadian unit to return to Canada as a complete group. They landed in Halifax to a tumultuous welcome and were awarded the key to the city.Follow their arduous and often hilarious journey and discover why they joined up, what the parachute training was like, especially their first jump, what it was like jumping into action for the first time in Normandy, the conditions in the Ardennes, crossing the Rhine and the fateful trek to Wismar to end the war. It's all here, in their own words.

Volume III of the Reagan Revolution series recounts the president's successful defeat of the Soviet drive for global hegemony--for strategic weaons superiority, political domination of the Eurasian landmass, and decisive leverage over world oil. In volumes I and II of this study I analyzed the president's decisions to jettison the failed strategy of detente and seek victory in the Cold War. In broadening the nation's economic base to sustain a more powerful military capability, he confronted the Soviet military challenge. Simultaneously, he worked to rebuild the Western Alliance, which had disintegrated during the detente years.In this volume I show how Reagan foiled the Soviet drive for strategic weapons superiority with a complex, high technology weapons buildup and a surprise shift to strategic defense, inaugurating a fundmental change in the national security equation. He neutralized the Soviet attempt to dominate the Eurasian landmass with the SS-20 missile by deploying the Pershing II/cruise missile package to Western Europe. And he blocked the Soviet drive to shift Iran into its orbit thereby preserving the secure flow of oil to the west and opening the door to an improvement of reltions with Iran.Recognizing that the Soviet Union was overextended, fueling revolutionary movements on four continents and deeply mired in Afghanistan, the president raised the costs of competition for the Soviet economy already laboring under the heavy burden large-scale military expenditures. He worked for reduced energy prices, reducing Soviet hard-currency earnings, while at the same time blocking the transfer of high technology upon which the Soviet Union depended to remain competitive with the United States. By the middle of 1984 the Soviet leadership concluded that its strategy had failed and would have to be changed.

"I Remember" - a commonly used phrase followed by memories of the author, her parents and grandparents relating to life in the mining communities of the North East of England.The author writes:I feel very fortunate that I had the privilege of growing up in a close family, and as a result have many memories and photographs, both my own and those of my parents and grandparents.I am not an author/storyteller in the accepted sense of the word; I never got higher than a C for my English compositions.

Singular-Meaning Lexicon and Handbook of the Greek New Testament is divided into two distinct sections. The Lexicon first gives a singular meaning for every NT Greek word. Next, the meaning is discovered by analysis of every occurrence of that wordin the NT. Meanings are sifted until a singular meaning is found thatadapts in every location of that word. This would be as near as a humancould get to the meaning that was in the one mind of God, who is theauthor. The Handbook includes a treatment on the rare subject of thescriptural history of language. The Grammar section is an attempt toadapt the NT Greek grammar so that it is consistent. Issues like thepassive meaning given to the middle voice, imperatival force put on theparticipial verb forms etc. are discussed.
