  The Murder Business - How the...

  Media and law enforcement work at cross-purposes. Law enforcement wants to solve a case as fast as possible and put the guilty behind bars. The media wants a case to drag on as long as humanly possible and do all they can to extricate every last bit of drama—drop by bloody drop—in order to hold the attention of the millions of viewers who have gotten hooked. Law enforcement must abide by rules. The media make their own rules, or break them, or find loopholes to work around them. If people knew how it's done—how the media seduce, buy, bribe, and corrupt, like an inevitable, malignant cancer on a murder investigation—they might be too sickened to buy the next ticket to the carnival. But as Mark Fuhrman relates in The Murder Business, a heinous crime can produce many victims, and high-profile murders can hurt innocent people who get burned by the spotlight, whether or not they sought it out themselves. This searing indictment of the media shows how the criminal justice system can be manipulated by money, power, politics, fame—and all too often, ratings.

  Torn apart by war. Reunited through faith. 
  In this remarkable true story of the Holocaust, we follow David Goldberger from the concentration camps of Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen, back to Budapest where his wife, Aurelia, and infant son are hiding under false Christian identities. 
  By the time he is liberated by the allies, Goldberger weighs a skeletal sixty-five pounds and is told to wait for the Slovakian legion to rescue him. With the threat of typhus looming, Goldberger instead escapes with a group of men to Hannover. There, he is given two pieces of wool cloth-the key to rebuilding his future as he searches for his wife and child. 
  Drawn from survivor testimony, personal conversations, and archival documents, and vividly brought to life by Goldberger's son Joe Gold, Two Pieces of Cloth bears witness to the horrors of the Holocaust, while serving as a testament to the power and resilience of the human spirit.

  In this short and simple guide, you will learn more about the qualities of a gifted person. These attributes typically already show in a man or woman’s childhood, and the developmental stages in which they grow. 
  When you want to understand your highly intelligent child, it’s easy to brush off the problems that come with it, such as overexcitement, sensitiveness, and being picky or easily bored. These things all come with such intelligence, which is based on a neuroscientific approach to the high-speed thinkers among us. When you go through this book, you’ll get a better grasp of what giftedness consists of, why it’s so important to allow them free play, or how to calm their fears when their strong imagination triggers all kinds of irrational or highly detailed fantasies in the dark. 
  On top of that, this book will cover topics that involve social skills for introverted kids, information about different types of schools you can send your gifted child to, and what to look for. 
  All in all, this is a book you cannot miss if you have a gifted child or gifted children. With a personality like that, there are certain things you need to learn more about. So don’t wait and start reading or listening now.
