Download or read book The Nfin8 Echo written by Ronnie Lee Graham and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2017-11-03 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stephen Crown’s father is dead, a victim of a prescription opioid overdose. It isn’t fair and it was way too easy. A slip on a rainy night, too much self-applied pressure to return to work, and too little understanding of the drugs he was given led to this. A son left without his father. But Stephen’s father taught him that words have power. “Words can hurt or they can heal,” he would say, “and when they echo truth, they have the most power.” Angry and filled with grief, Stephen refocuses his blog, Discussion Questions, from college humor to an exposé on the pharmaceutical industry. Soon he is asking questions and discovering facts that the industry would rather go unnoticed. When Annia Belmont publishes an article about Stephen, his blog starts trending, and the power brokers at NexChem Pharmaceuticals decide to teach him the price of speaking out against their practices. Their curriculum for Stephen includes hard-knocks courses in economics and biology—specifically, how the food chain works. Stephen, the small fish, stands his ground, and with the help of the hacker group N3RD, he begins to turn the tables. But will it be enough to win out against the power and finances backing NexChem? The Nfin8 Echo (an allegory of Saint Stephen) is a timely, contemporary thriller from a powerful new voice in fiction.

Download or read book Influenza Pandemic written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current H1N1 pandemic highlights the threat posed to our nation by an influenza pandemic. The previous administration's Homeland Security Council (HSC) issued the Implementation Plan for the National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza (Plan) in May 2006 to help address a pandemic. GAO was asked to (1) determine how the HSC and responsible federal agencies monitor the progress and completion of the Plan's action items; and (2) assess the extent to which selected action items have been completed. To do this, GAO interviewed officials from the HSC and the six federal agencies responsible for implementing most of the Plan, and analyzed a random sample of 60 action items. While this report does not assess the response efforts for the H1N1 pandemic, GAO continues to monitor the outbreak and the federal response. GAO makes recommendations to the HSC related to the Plan and any future updates, including developing a monitoring and reporting process for action items intended for nonfederal entities, identifying the types of information needed to carry out the response-related action items, and improving how completion is assessed.
Download or read book East Greek Pottery written by Robert Manuel Cook and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: East Greek Pottery provides a comprehensive survey of the pottery made by the Greek settlers along the western coast of Turkey. The various styles of decoration described cover the period from the eleventh century to the beginning of the fifth century B.C. Subsequently, competition from Athens pressed local potters into using very simple ornament. Chapters include analysis of Grey ware, relief ware and archaic East Greek containers (or trade) amphorae, a class of pottery which is now attracting attention for its contribution to the study of ancient economic history. East Greek pottery is a field that has been neglected, and much remains uncertain. Conjecture and fact have been clearly distinguished in this volume, and detailed references allow the evidence to be viewed and judged by the reader.
