Sinopsis

Vitamin K Functions explores the importance of this fat-soluble vitamin, highlighting its critical roles in blood coagulation, bone metabolism, and cardiovascular health. This book emphasizes that vitamin K's impact extends far beyond blood clotting, influencing overall well-being.

 
Intriguingly, the book sheds light on how vitamin K deficiency can increase the risk of osteoporosis and arterial calcification, conditions many are unaware are linked to this essential nutrient.

 
The book begins with the chemistry of vitamin K and its different forms, such as K1 (phylloquinone) and K2 (menaquinone), before delving into its biochemical mechanisms. By exploring how vitamin K influences blood clotting, the book provides a foundation for understanding its contribution to bone and cardiovascular health, including inhibiting arterial calcification via matrix Gla protein (MGP).

 
Ultimately, it discusses dietary sources, recommended intakes, and clinical implications, offering a comprehensive look at Vitamin K's role in nutrition science and health fitness.

The Catalog of Great Ideas by...

Michael Mathiesen

It hit me the other day after publishing my one hundredth book on Amazon that I had authored enough books that I could easily publish a catalog of my favorites..  
I checked and I'm the only author on Amazon today who can boast a catalog of all his greatest hits. I'm not bragging, nor do I expect to win the Nobel Prize for any of these great ideas, but that's not because they are not worthy of the great award, but because I have as yet to make any of them become household words or ideas. I hope your reading of this catalog will change all that and propel at least one of them up to the bight spotlight of nationally known and/or generally accepted ideas made from pure genius.

Tech Startups - Building and...

Craig Dames

The foundation of every successful tech startup lies in adopting the right mindset—one that embraces uncertainty, thrives under pressure, and is relentlessly focused on solving real problems. Unlike traditional business models that may prioritize structure and predictability, startups demand a different kind of thinking: bold, experimental, and deeply resilient. The startup mindset is not just about launching a product; it’s about challenging the status quo and envisioning a better way of doing things.
At the heart of this mindset is the willingness to take risks. Entrepreneurs must accept that failure is not just a possibility—it’s often a necessary step toward success. Embracing risk doesn’t mean acting recklessly, but rather being comfortable making decisions without having all the answers. It means testing assumptions, learning quickly from setbacks, and moving forward with renewed insight. The ability to pivot when something isn’t working is a hallmark of great startup founders.
Equally important is cultivating a culture that thrives on problem-solving. Tech startups are often born out of frustration with how something works—or doesn’t work—in the world. Founders who succeed are those who remain obsessed with their customers’ pain points and are constantly looking for innovative ways to address them. This requires curiosity, empathy, and a drive to keep iterating until a solution clicks. It also involves surrounding oneself with a team that shares this passion and can offer diverse perspectives on how to improve and evolve.

The Jupiter Sun - The Greatest...

Michael Mathiesen

This book was inspired by my previous work of Science Fiction in: 'The Book To End All Books'. At the climactic conclusion of that book, I realized that we didn't have the 1,000 years I gave humankind to create a 2nd sun in the sky. We would be extinct by then and long buried in the debris of our own destruction.
So, I decided to put all the speculative knowledge that I had learned from my science fiction novel into use in this book in hopes that perhaps humanity would be wise enough to give it a try. We can do this. We can ignite Jupiter and create a 2nd sun. And, I also answer the question - Why would we do this?
Humanity has some major challenges to its continued existence that are caused by our technology. But now we have the opportunity to use our advanced space and rocket technology and our laser Fusion Reactor technology to combine them into a major project for the world to take on.
We can use our current knowledge of nuclear fusion and space travel to send a team to create a station on the four moons of Jupiter and shoot high energy red laser beams into the hydrogen core of Jupiter to ignite the gas giant into a 2nd sun in our sky. Don't worry - Jupiter is five times further away from us than our present sun, so it would not create any significant amounts of additional heat. It's also 1,000 times smaller than our 1st sun, so again, we have nothing to fear from increased heat. BUT, we would gain twice as much FREE AND SUSTAINABLE SOLAR ENERGY from another sun and this could be utilized by both the Earth and Mars to save our species.
