Ammunition, Demystified is Hatcher's Notebook for the twenty-first century. It's a soft technical document intended for small caliber ammunition design and production engineers, as well as more advanced shooters and reloaders who want a more in-depth understanding of how guns and ammunition work and interact with one another. There is very little that is truly simple about small arms ammunition due to the enormous stresses to which the bullet and cartridge case structures are subjected during the firing process and the nonlinear material properties of these ammunition components. Ammunition Demystified untangles these interactions and will help put you on the path of increased understanding of a simple yet complex topic. This book encapsulates the technical knowledge acquired on bullets, cartridge cases, barrels, and ammunition testing over a career spanning four decades. It is a useful reference for shooters, reloaders, and ammo guys to assist them when they troubleshoot the mechanical and dispersion performance of their firearms and ammunition.

Ammunition Demystified topics covered are

* cartridge cases and case-chamber interaction

* propellants and interior ballistics

* projectile design, aerodynamics, and stability

* trajectory, dispersion, accuracy

* barrel: manufacture, fatigue life

* ammunition: pressure and velocity testing, and load development

This is the story of Major James Capers, Jr. (USMC Ret.) Jim was born to a family of sharecroppers in South Carolina who escaped to Baltimore, Maryland in the dead of night to escape the days of Jim Crow laws for a better life. Joining the Marines fresh out of high school, Jim had no idea that he was paving the road for future Marines, black and white alike. The first African-American Marine to receive a battlefield commission as a member of 3rd Force Recon, a new special forces unit designed specifically for the war in Vietnam; the first African-American Marine officer used on a Marine recruitment poster; co-leader of the first special forces team to attempt the rescue of American and allied POW's held in a North Vietnamese prison; a leader in Team Broadminded, whose missions were so secret, their military records from Vietnam were not declassified until 2006; nominated for the Medal of Honor; inducted into the Commando Hall of Honor for special forces; awarded the Bronze and the Silver Stars. This book is about a man who is a true American hero, though he denies the notion.

Fast-forward fifteen years, and Angela Bennett finds herself in the same hometown, working at the same law firm, for the same boss who owns half the neighborhood and takes zero accountability. Angela buried her past and refused to let it resurface until a ghost of the man she once loved was standing in front of her.

This book is just a basic outline of tools, knowledge, and tricks to succeed as Steve Harvey stated, I want you to learn how to fail and win anyway because failure cometh.

I did not learn to invest because, as Blacks, we were taught to go to school/good education, get a good job, and put your money in the bank. Well, that advice, as good as it seems, will not help you retire well.

Off road enthusiasts of all ages will be able to relate to the sights, sounds, and feel of rumbling, roaring, metallic chip-chirping and bam-bashing through rocky, mud-tastic, forest trails! Read the words out loud and experience the sensations of an exciting adventure!

At a certain point in my life I became fed up with the Equine industry, I didn't like the way people treated horses, I didn't like the way people talked about horses and I didn't like the way people looked at horses.

In despair and heart broke over the loss of my first love I gradually came to see horses in a new and different light, they became a canvas for me, there movement a form of art and the work I put in a practice of art, an expression of self.

This book strives to be a clinical discussion of art and art theory in the same vein as it's name sake, the classic treaties by Xenophon.

I do not expect the reader to finish this book and start up a career as a colt starter, yet I hope the reader finishes this book and and finds themselves compelled to study the lines of there horse, drawn to observe the movement of the eye and ear, staggered by the dimensional depth of each foot fall.

Were I to wake and find myself in some strange land that had no horses I would first find myself a pen and pencil and draw myself a horse to look at.

My prayer is that teens and adults will read this small book and remember to put their phone down and appreciate the activities and people who make their life joyful.

The primary appeal that Boil the Frog will have, for most people grabbing it off the shelf or off the internet, will be the step-by-step guide on how to lose the weight you want to lose. However, this book will actually surprise you about how it dives deep into the very depths of your mind to find where you got lost and show you how to come back, even from addiction.

It will show you how to find who you were before the world told you different and about why you behave a certain way, but most importantly, it will show you how you can fix it. Boil the Frog shows you how to strip all that away and become the person you were supposed to be, to be the best version of yourself.

Take this book home for the weight loss, it really can help you with that, but keep it as a guide for life in general and pay it forward. Help others as it helped you, share your success, and together we can all become the best versions of ourselves.

This book is for those who want a comprehensive approach to both life and leadership. It highlights key principles and practices to deal with the hectic, interconnected, and demanding world we live in.

The first principle is seeking balance. Pursuit of a professional career at the expense of everything and everyone else, can lead to a shallow victory. Fighting for this balance requires a plan, introducing efficiencies, and becoming a corporate athlete.

Next, your ability to overcome all the filters that exist between you and the truth is dependent upon building relationships at all levels of the organization and demonstrating you really do care about your people.

Finally, you need an operating model that has a clear definition of winning and focuses the organization on the few things that will make the biggest difference.

Underlying these principles is leading your organization with a heightened level of discipline leading to habits allowing you to both lead and inspire others.

The authors share examples on how these practices apply at all times and across various situations including in times of adversity. The time to start preparing for the eventual curveball of life is not when it is leaving the pitcher's hand; it begins with how you live and lead each and every day.

Brett is intense. Intense as a youth piecing together the world. Intense as an undersized point guard, middle child, and student. Intense as a professional poker player, manager, and problem solver. But most notably, intense as an unaware manic mind set free in the world. Crossover: A Look inside a Manic Mind is a personal memoir detailing the evolution of psychotic thoughts and how they influenced Brett's behavior during the three manic episodes that spanned the past decade of his life. Through basketball, poker, and work, Crossover offers a firsthand account of how the world looks and feels as a person with Bipolar I from childhood traits to adult expression. Brett's recall of these incidents is so detailed because he has a rare condition called hypermnesia, an unusually enhanced, vivid, and precise memory. His perspective sheds light on the progression of bipolar disorder and will enhance your ability to learn and empathize with those affected by the illness. Suicide among people with bipolar disorder is thirty times higher than the general population, yet the cause and prevention remain a mystery. Brett's story is educational and inspiring for anyone who suffers from or has been affected by mental illness. It is a must read for medical professionals, therapists, students, and teachers.

Pittsburgh in Your Pot! is the second cookbook in my Pittsburgh journey of food and of the city I love. It is filled with over 180 recipes and stories that define the city, its people, and its culture. Pittsburgh is a city founded and formed by hardworking immigrant families. It is a city that is proud to say that all people were and are always welcome. As the city evolved over the past several hundred years, so did its cuisine. The ethnic food brought to Pittsburgh became a part of who we are. It defines our lives, celebrates our family times, and honors our traditions.

As in my first book, Pittsburgh on Your Plate! these recipes have been handed down from generation to generation and gathered over the years from my family, my husband's family, and many close friends. Most were written in worn notebooks and on recipe cards or scraps of paper stuck in cookbooks, all kept so dear. Many of the recipes were from my mom, my grandma Mary (who was a numbers-running bookie and packed pickles in a pickle factory), and her sister, my great-aunt Julie (Zia Zia). Pittsburgh in Your Pot! includes a very special section dedicated to our grandmas and their stories and recipes. It contains heartwarming life stories and offers some of the very best recipes handed down to us.

Pittsburgh in Your Pot! offers stories and essays about the history of Pittsburgh as well as the ethnic lore, amusing anecdotes, and family stories that will warm your heart and bring a smile--a book that, through its stories and recipes, will allow you to embrace what it is to be a part of this wonderful, unique black-and-gold Yinzer city of Pittsburgh!

Pittsburgh in Your Pot! is waiting for you to enjoy the food world of our hometown. Yinz know...that city where the three rivers meet dahntahn and them Stillers play!

There are worldwide concerns that the planet is on the brink of extinction, but just how close are we to the end? Is there a prophetic significance of Brexit for example? What about climate change? Since the earth was created thousands of years ago, why was there no concern of a global extinction before now? What is it about now, that worries climatologists and meteorologists, and for that matter, epidemiologists, and virologists? Is there a prophetic significance in the timing of the Covid19 pandemic, or the rise in global social unrests like BLM? Did the Bible prophets foresee the rise of Silicon Valley, the explosion of Artificial Intelligence or the break-neck speed in information technology? If so, what is their prophetic utility in decoding the timetable for the end? How does the combination of science and eschatology help us to appreciate our proximity to the brink? This shocking revelation answers the question, 'Is God Still Coming?'

Never before has there been a real discovery where all the physical characteristics of a proposed location matched Plato's description of Atlantis. Not even the original Santorini hypothesis could sufficiently meet the given criteria.

After years of extensive research, in conjunction with new archeological evidence, and with the aid of satellite technology, Christos A. Djonis credibly reveals that Plato based his story of Atlantis on a real prehistoric setting, now beneath 400 feet of water. We now have a real discovery where all the physical characteristics, along with Plato's given chronology, flawlessly match, and they are precisely in the exact order as Plato depicted. Moreover, DNA and archaeological evidence of an advanced Neolithic civilization occupying the prehistoric submerged island, at around 9600 BC, further confirm a perfect case scenario.

Finally, a study that gives a logical and well-supported documentation for the existence of Plato's Atlantis! I was totally enthralled with this exciting piece of history...
