This book is a cautionary tale. A modern democracy is a fragile thing. Laws must be balanced with freedoms. Corruption and greed must be controlled, without infringing on the rights of individuals to earn a living. Sometimes ideologies clash. Sometimes people and political parties cheat. Sometimes the people pay.

2016 was one of the worst years ever in the United States of America. And not just as it relates to the presidential election. The whole process brought forth the sheer ugliness that mankind has to offer. Hidden biases were exposed. As were the shameless ways campaigns conducted their operations. The Republican National Committee was caught red-handed supporting its favored candidates over an outsider. Democrats gloated gleefully, but not for long. Just weeks later the Democratic National Committee was busted for doing exactly the same thing. Heads rolled. Fingers were pointed. Lies were told. And then it got even uglier. All semblance of civility was thrown out the window. The name calling commenced. Mud-slinging led to all-out slander. And grown men and women began behaving like four-year olds to adoring crowds. Who apparently liked it. The country was almost evenly divided. And whichever side was losing at any given time claimed the country was walking straight off a cliff. These are dark days for the United States of America. She has lost her status as the greatest country on earth. She's now ridiculed instead of admired, and her best days are behind her. She's tottering on the brink of bankruptcy and making more and more enemies by the day. Enemies who are toying with the idea of demanding payment on their loans. Enemies who have the capability of collapsing the almighty dollar with the stroke of a pen. It's just a matter of time. Perhaps years. Or perhaps days. Whenever it does happen, the dollar will be worthless. And the once-mighty United States of America will fall like a house of cards. Only those who make preparations beforehand have a chance of survival. You've seen the prepper shows on all the cable channels. They prepare for a variety of catastrophes, from electromagnetic pulses to nuclear fallout. Few of them prepare for economic collapse. And let's face it. In the state the United States is now in, that's the only realistic scenario. In fact, it's not only a realistic scenario. It's inevitable. It's just a matter of time. We need to prepare, and the sooner the better. But let's face it. Most of these shows center around multi-millionaires who have the money to purchase an old missile silo in the prairies of North Dakota somewhere. Or the guy who has a 400 acre ranch in Colorado. Or the guy with so much money in the bank that he can build a house with four foot-thick reinforced walls and bullet and bomb-proof windows. Or the guy who thinks he can just buy his way out of trouble, and hoards half a million dollars worth of gold bouillon to trade for water and bullets and food, and whatever else he needs. I don't know about you guys, but I don't have millions of dollars to buy an old missile silo, or to hoard gold. I've never even been on a 400 acre ranch, and I couldn't even make a down payment on a bullet and bomb-proof house. Me, I'm just an ordinary guy. I live in the suburbs. In a housing development, in a regular house. And I'm just guessing now, but I'll bet most of you are more like me than you are like the missile silo guy. And that's the purpose behind this book. I've been prepping for years. I've experimented with food preparation and storage, various low cost security methods, and various ways to help my family survive whatever ugliness is coming our way. I can help you with things like sanitizing your water supplies safely, without wasting big money on fancy filtration systems. How to build an outhouse for around a hundred dollars. How to protect your back yard from prowlers without any fancy alarm systems. How to hide in plain sight. And a bunch of other things that'll help you survive when the cities go black and the rest of the world starts to panic.

The Frog Who Would A Wooing Go Charles Bennett [Zhingoora Books]

This book offers a wide-ranging description and analysis of recent developments and current trends in health policy with regard to cancer drug safety. The book opens with an overview of pharmacovigilance for cancer blockbuster drugs, covering both general considerations and efforts to develop a structured framework for the identification and reporting of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). A number of important examples of serious ADRs to hematology and oncology drugs are then reviewed, with evaluation of the lessons learned and the policy implications of the ensuing legal cases and their settlements. Further, the difficulty of reporting such blockbuster side effects in the medical literature is explored in an empirical study. Significant advances have been achieved in analytic methods for the identification of ADRs, and here there is a particular focus on the value of optimal discriminant analysis. Finally, the impacts on pharmacovigilance and drug safety of the huge fines paid under the U.S. False Claims Act relating to the defrauding of governmental programs also receive careful attention - these fines are playing an important role in changing the landscape for pharmaceutical safety.

With a career that spanned from the silent era to the 1990s, British screenwriter Charles Bennett (1899--1995) lived an extraordinary life. His experiences as an actor, director, playwright, film and television writer, and novelist in both England and Hollywood left him with many amusing anecdotes, opinions about his craft, and impressions of the many famous people he knew. Among other things, Bennett was a decorated WWI hero, an eminent Shakespearean actor, and an Allied spy and propagandist during WWII, but he is best remembered for his commercially and critically acclaimed collaborations with directors Sir Alfred Hitchcock and Cecil B. DeMille.The fruitful partnership began after Hitchcock adapted Bennett's play Blackmail (1929) as the first British sound film. Their partnership produced six thrillers: The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934), The 39 Steps (1935), Sabotage (1936), Secret Agent (1936), Young and Innocent (1937), and Foreign Correspondent (1940). In this witty and intriguing book, Bennett discusses how their collaboration created such famous motifs as the "e;wrong man accused"e; device and the MacGuffin. He also takes readers behind the scenes with the Master of Suspense, offering his thoughts on the director's work, sense of humor, and personal life.Featuring an introduction and additional biographical material from Bennett's son, editor John Charles Bennett, Hitchcock's Partner in Suspense is a richly detailed narrative of a remarkable yet often-overlooked figure in film history.
