Book excerpt: Miscreants, malcontents, degenerates, scoundrels. Sounds like a good time. And it was until the crew of the small smuggler ship Aurum found themselves in the clutches of an Imperial Admiral. Captain Osyen thought going back to prison was as bad as it could get. Turns out the Navy has a job for his team, one only they could pull off. Retrieve a mysterious and powerful artifact from the most dangerous sector of human-controlled space, rife with pirates and worse. Bring it back, and they'd have their slates wiped clean.

To make matters worse, a rogue Imperial officer seems dead set on ensuring they fail. ◆◆◆ ✯✯✯✯✯ -- "If Firefly had a meaner older brother, this would be it."

Download or read book The Gold House written by John Clarence and published by . This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 768 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gold House, The Lies, The Thefts proves that millions of dollars in gold were stolen from the Noss treasure shortly after 1958, thefts carried out with the knowledge of certain individuals in the military at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. These thefts were cloaked with a top-secret classification to mask the criminal nature of the military’s activities. This highly documented investigation provides overwhelming evidence that should be known to every American who cares about their country and the ideals upon which this nation was founded. The most highly documented account that gold was illegally removed from the Noss treasure occurred during the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend in November 1973 when 36.5 tons of gold was stolen from the treasure; evidence points to President Richard Nixon’s involvement. As startling as Nixon’s alleged connection to the mega-million-dollar theft was, so too was the elaborate cover-up in 1974 by Major General Arthur H. Sweeney, Jr., White Sands’ commanding general at the time. Evidence that the 1973 extraction occurred include: 1) An FBI document regarding the theft disclosed, “...two individuals at The First National Bank in Albuquerque were handling the sale of the gold and that Handy & Harman’s secondary refinery in El Monte, California, was handling the sale of the gold overseas.” 2) Warehouse receipts describing a large number of steel drums containing the stolen gold, backed up by an FBI report describing the contents of the drums as “ingots.” On four of the seventy-two steel drums the “Warehouse Receipt Holder” was “FIRST NATIONAL BANK IN ALBUQUERQUE.” 3) A series of nine money-laundering agreements used to convert the stolen gold and disguise its origin. 4) Evidence that a CIA operative was used as the courier to move the stolen gold out of the United States. 5) The involvement of top Nixon aide John Ehrlichman. 6) The cover-up of the theft by agent Herb Greathouse of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. These allegations are supported by a large number of letters, official government documents, affidavits, money-laundering agreements, and many interviews.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “No series since George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire has quite captured both palace intrigue and the way that tribal infighting and war hurt the vulnerable the most.” —Paste Magazine The final chapter in the bestselling, critically acclaimed Daevabad Trilogy, in which a con-woman and an idealistic djinn prince join forces to save a magical kingdom from a devastating civil war. Daevabad has fallen.

Download or read book The Lean Manager written by Freddy Ballé and published by Lean Enterprise Institute. This book was released on 2011-09-15 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking sequel to The Gold Mine, authors Michael and Freddy Ballé present a compelling story that teaches readers the most important lean lesson of all: how to transform themselves and their workers through the discipline of learning the lean system. The Lean Manager: A Novel of Lean Transformation reveals how individuals can go beyond the short-term gains from tools, and realize a deeper, sustainable path of improvement. Full of human moments that capture the excitement and drama of lean implementation, as well as clear explanations of how tools and systems go hand-in-hand, this book will teach and inspire every person working to make lean a reality in their organization today. This book will help you learn both the how of doing lean, as well as the why behind the tools, enabling you to become lean. Lean is the most important business model for competitive success today. Yet companies still struggle to sustain enduring and deep-rooted business success from their lean implementation efforts. The most important problem for these companies is becoming lean: how can they advance beyond realizing isolated gains from deploying lean tools, to fundamentally changing how they operate, think, and learn? In other words, how can companies learn to go beyond lean turnaround to achieve lean transformation? The Lean Manager: A Novel of Lean Transformation, by lean experts Michael and Freddy Ballé, addresses this critical problem. As we move from what Jim Womack, author, lean management authority, and LEI founder, calls “the era of lean tools to the era of lean management,” The Lean Manager gives companies a definitive guide for sustaining their ability to learn and improve operations and financial performance, while continually developing people. “The only way to become and stay lean is to produce lean managers,” says Womack. “Every isolated effort will recede—or fail—unless companies learn to use the lean process as a way of developing individual problem-solvers with the ownership, initiative, and know-how to solve problems, learn, and ultimately coach new individuals in this discipline. That’s why this book matters so much.” The Lean Manager, the sequel to the Ballé’s international bestselling business novel The Gold Mine, tells the compelling story of plant manager Andrew Ward as he goes through the challenging but rewarding journey to becoming a lean manager. Under the guidance of Phil Jenkinson (whose own lean journey was at the core of The Gold Mine), Ward learns to use a deep understanding of lean tools, as well as a technical know-how of his plant’s operations, to foster a lean attitude that sustains continuous improvement. Where The Gold Mine shows you how to introduce a complete lean system, The Lean Manager demonstrates how to sustain it. Ward moves beyond fluency with tools to changing his behavior as a manager and leader. He shifts from giving orders and answers to asking the right questions so people identify and address problems. He learns how to use tools to unleash the creativity and motivation of people, so they learn how to solve problems as well as coach and teach others to solve problems. Ward learns how to create lean managers. “I am excited and have hopes that this book will enlighten readers about what it really means to live a business transformation that puts customers first and does this through developing people,” said Jeffrey Liker, author of The Toyota Way and professor of Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan. “People who do the work have to improve the work. There are tools, but they are not tools for ‘improving the process.’ They are tools for making problems visible and for helping people think about how to solve those problems.”
