Book excerpt: 2012 Sydney Taylor Award Honor Book, 2012 Skipping Stone Honor Book. Lauren Myracle, author of Shine, calls it "a powerful--and poignant--reminder that no person can live freely until all people can live freely." Blood Lie was the winner of the 2012 Simon Wiesenthal Once Upon a World Children's Book Award. September 22, 1928, Massena, New York. Jack Pool's sixteenth birthday. He's been restless lately, especially during this season of more-times-at-the-synagogue than you can shake a stick at. If it wasn't Rosh Hashanah, then it was Yom Kippur, and if it wasn't Yom Kippur, it was the Sabbath. But temple's good for some things. It gives him lots of time to daydream about a beautiful but inaccessible Gentile girl named Emaline. And if she isn't on his mind, then he's thinking about his music and imagining himself playing the cello with the New York Philharmonic. Yup, music is definitely his ticket out of this remote whistle-stop town--he doesn't want to be stuck here one more minute. But he doesn't realize exactly how stuck he is until Emaline's little sister Daisy goes missing and he and his family are accused of killing her for a blood sacrifice. Blood Lie was inspired by a real blood libel that took place when a small girl disappeared from Massena, New York, in 1928, and an innocent Jewish boy was called a murderer. "Vernick's novel is a scathing indictment of anti-Semitism--it is an important book that reminds us of the imperative need to remember lest we find ourselves repeating the horrors of the past." ;Booklist "Effectively mines layers of ignorance, fear, intolerance and manipulation." ;Kirkus Reviews Shirley Reva Vernick's interviews and feature articles have appeared in Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping, Ladies' Home Journal, and national newspapers. She also runs a popular storytelling website, storybee.org, which is used in schools and libraries all over the world. Shirley grew up in the town where the blood libel happened, as did her father, whose family was directly victimized by it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A standard blood test indicates how well the kidneys and liver are functioning, the potential for heart disease, and a host of other vital health markers.

In Your Blood Never Lies, best-selling author James LaValle clears up the mystery surrounding blood test results. In simple language, he explains all of the information found on these forms, making it understandable and accessible. This means that you can look at the results yourself and know the significance of each marker. Dr. LaValle even recommends the most effective conventional and complementary treatments for dealing with any problematic findings. Rounding out the book are the names of test markers that should be requested for a more complete physical picture. A blood test can reveal so much about your body, but only if you can interpret the results. Your Blood Never Lies provides the up-to-date information you need to take control of your health.
Download or read book Bad Blood written by John Carreyrou and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2018-05-21 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The gripping story of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos—one of the biggest corporate frauds in history—a tale of ambition and hubris set amid the bold promises of Silicon Valley, rigorously reported by the prize-winning journalist. With a new Afterword covering her trial and sentencing, bringing the story to a close. “Chilling ... Reads like a thriller ... Carreyrou tells [the Theranos story] virtually to perfection.” —The New York Times Book Review In 2014, Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes was widely seen as the next Steve Jobs: a brilliant Stanford dropout whose startup “unicorn” promised to revolutionize the medical industry with its breakthrough device, which performed the whole range of laboratory tests from a single drop of blood. Backed by investors such as Larry Ellison and Tim Draper, Theranos sold shares in a fundraising round that valued the company at more than $9 billion, putting Holmes’s worth at an estimated $4.5 billion. There was just one problem: The technology didn’t work. Erroneous results put patients in danger, leading to misdiagnoses and unnecessary treatments. All the while, Holmes and her partner, Sunny Balwani, worked to silence anyone who voiced misgivings—from journalists to their own employees.

Download or read book Blood Doesn't Lie written by Nick Delgado and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-26 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most effective way to protect ourselves from infectious diseases or chronic degenerative diseases is to understand the concepts of proactive intervention, preventative medicine, and lifestyle support. We have a powerful, intelligent immune system that is designed to always withstand toxic microbial inundation.Medicine has evolved dramatically even compared with 20 years ago, but every new disease requires a new response. Infectious diseases can spread quickly to many patients, warns Tasuku Honjo, a Japanese physician-scientist, immunologist, and Nobel prize winner.Although normal bodily defense systems play a significant preventative role, they are not the only things needed to stop a virulent disease. We also have several white blood cells including the B-cells, T-cells, and natural killer cells, which can mount an incredible defense against any foreign invader. All these defenses are components of the immune system. The immune system is more extensive than the entire circulatory system. It includes our lymph glands and the antibodies that are transported not only by our blood circulation but also by the immune system's own lymph fluid transport system.Exposure to pathogens plays an important role in the building of a robust immune system. It allows our immune systems to build antibodies and other defenses to protect us. This is not to say we should go out of our way to try to get sick; actually quite the opposite: support your immune system with guidelines in this book and then let it do its job by living life to the fullest.Imagine you had an American football team that planned to play against the best defensive team in the league, but they showed up with no offensive linemen and without any protection for their quarterback and running backs. Even with the best quarterback in the league and fastest running backs, they could not last more than a few plays before the big defensive lineman (bacteria) and linebackers (viruses) swarmed all over the quarterback or running backs (brain, lungs, and immune system). Before long, the team would be weakened, fatigued, battered, and bruised to the point where they would lose the battle.The sick and elderly, those with chronic illnesses, and those with chronic fatigue can be likened to this football team; they do not have the immune defenses to fight pathogens. These high-risk people will benefit the most from the protocols laid out in this book, which include nutrification, detoxification, hormonal and herbal support, and power of the mind. This book wasn't written just for older people however, it was written for everyone.We in America rank 36th in the world in life expectancy and we have more sick days than many other countries. This reflects our toxic diets and sedentary, high-stress lifestyles, and it's time we took responsibility for our health and made better choices. My clients, my children, my 85-year-old mother, my staff, and I have all implemented these protocols for a superhero immune system with great success and now you can too! As the saying goes you either invest in your health now, or you will pay later. Spending a few extra dollars on healthy food and nutraceuticals could mean saving hundreds of thousands of dollars down the road on doctors, hospitals, and insurance premiums.In this book, you will learn safe, all-natural ways to optimize your immune system to reduce your risk of contracting pathogens and minimize symptoms if you do. You will also learn why people around the world are seeking more natural solutions and breakthrough treatment methods to support rapid healing. With the multifaceted approach outlined in this book, we can dramatically reduce the recovery time from infections; cut missed workdays in half and win the battle against infectious diseases!

Book excerpt: The first book in an epic new series about a princess hiding a dark secret and the con man she must trust to clear her name for her father's murder. In the Cyrilian Empire, Affinites are reviled. Their varied gifts to control the world around them are unnatural—dangerous. And Anastacya Mikhailov, the crown princess, has a terrifying secret. Her deadly Affinity to blood is her curse and the reason she has lived her life hidden behind palace walls. When Ana's father, the emperor, is murdered, her world is shattered. Framed as his killer, Ana must flee the palace to save her life. And to clear her name, she must find her father's murderer on her own. But the Cyrilia beyond the palace walls is far different from the one she thought she knew. Corruption rules the land, and a greater conspiracy is at work—one that threatens the very balance of her world. And there is only one person corrupt enough to help Ana get to its core: Ramson Quicktongue. A cunning crime lord of the Cyrilian underworld, Ramson has sinister plans—though he might have met his match in Ana. Because in this story, the princess might be the most dangerous player of all. “Cinematic storytelling at its best.”—Adrienne Young, New York Times bestselling author of Sky in the Deep and The Girl the Sea Gave Back “Zhao shines in the fast-paced and vivid combat scenes, which lend a cinematic quality that pulls readers in.”—The New York Times Book Review “Zhao is a master writer who weaves a powerful tale of loyalty, honor, and courage through a strong female protagonist. . . .

Book Synopsis A Tremor In The Blood by : David T. Lykken
Download or read book A Tremor In The Blood written by David T. Lykken and published by . This book was released on 1998-03-21 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author presents case histories of persons whose lives have been blighted by our uniquely American faith in the myth of the lie detector. Dr. Lykken also explains how to "beat" the machine, not only because it is unfair that spies and Mafia soldiers already know these techniques, but also because innocent persons have nearly a 50:50 chance of failing lie detector tests unless they use appropriate countermeasures. Many state courts in the U.S. still admit lie detector tests into evidence under certain conditions - a practice that ensures the conviction of more innocent people every year. Finally, Dr. Lykken reports on the results of recent surveys of informed scientific opinion about lie detection and presents another method of polygraphic interrogation that is designed to detect, not lies, but the presence of guilty knowledge. This method is scientifically credible and holds promise for future use in criminal investigation.
