  Theodore Roosevelt Jr. (October 27, 1858 - January 6, 1919) was an American politician, statesman, soldier, conservationist, naturalist, historian, and writer who served as the 26th president of the United States from 1901 to 1909. He previously served as the 25th vice president under President William McKinley from March to September 1901 and as the 33rd governor of New York from 1899 to 1900. Assuming the presidency after McKinley's assassination, Roosevelt emerged as a leader of the Republican Party and became a driving force for anti-trust and Progressive policies.

  Viola MacMillan had it all: success, money, and respect. Influence, even. But in 1964, after three decades in the mining industry, one of the most fascinating women in Canadian business history was the central character in one of the country's most famous stock scandals. 
   
   
   
  MacMillan, who started out as a prospector in the '30s, had developed lucrative mines and put together big deals. But she still wanted "a major discovery." Early in July 1964, shares in Windfall Oil and Mines, a company she and her husband controlled, traded for around 56 cents. Then one day, the stock took off. In the absence of any information from the company about what it had found near Timmins on its claims, rumors and greed pushed the share price to a high of $5.70. MacMillan stayed quiet. Finally, after three weeks, Windfall admitted it had nothing. 
   
   
   
  So many small investors lost money when the stock crashed that the Ontario government appointed a royal commission to examine what had happened, which led to changes at the Ontario Securities Commission and the Toronto Stock Exchange. Although MacMillan spent a few weeks in prison, she later received a pardon and the Order of Canada.

  “Riddles of Destiny” is a gripping saga blending ancient spiritual wisdom with cutting-edge technology. At its heart are Siddhanta Sarma, a sun-worshipping priest, and Gorak Agora, a sage of the secretive Aghori sect. Together, they face a formidable enemy who manipulates both the spiritual and technological realms. 
  The tale begins when Ranganna, a disciple of Gorak Aghora, accidentally unlocks the gates of hell, setting off a catastrophic chain of events that spans continents. Meanwhile, Father Francis finds himself entangled in the schemes of Lucian Wrathborne, a mastermind controlling the deadly Brain Activity Transformer (BAT)—a device capable of altering human behaviour remotely. 
  Above it all, SANI, a hijacked stealth satellite, becomes Lucian's all-seeing eye, orchestrating chaos from space. As the world teeters on the edge, Sarma and Aghora must unravel Lucian’s web of deceit, uncovering deeper cosmic truths. 
  “Riddles of Destiny” masterfully combines elements of spiritual lore with advanced technology, creating a narrative that explores fate, resilience, and the quest for truth.

  Hard Aground brings together three intertwined stories documenting the US Navy's strategic and matériel evolution from the end of Civil War through the First World War. 
   
   
   
  The first story focuses on the reconstruction of the US Navy following the swift and near-total dismantling of the Union Navy infrastructure after the Civil War. Jampoler argues that the federal government discovered that the fleet requested by the navy, and paid for by Congress, was the wrong fleet. 
   
   
   
  The second story relates the short, tragic life of the USS Tennessee. The USS Tennessee was ordered on two unusual missions in the early months of the First World War, long before the United States formally entered the war. These little-known missions and the ship's shocking destruction in a storm surge in the Caribbean serve as the centerpiece of the story. 
   
   
   
  Jampoler rounds out this fascinating account with the story of how the USS Tennessee's destruction prompted fierce deliberations about the US Navy's operations and chains of command for the remainder of the First World War and the high-level political wrangling inside the Department of the Navy immediately after the war.
