About the Author
Yvan Kaprielian was born and raised in Paris, France with an Armenian Heritage and moved to the United States in 1988. After graduating High School in 1991, with a privilege of having a father in the business, Yvan decided to venture into the Diamond and Jewelry Industry. He grasped the opportunity to learn and capture the secrets of the trade. At the age of 17 he started selling diamonds, engagement and anniversary jewelry, colored gemstones, and fine watches. He seized every moment to examine and study every diamond that was in his sight. Reading gem books, trade publications and taking courses on diamonds became routine. In 1993, he completed his first Diamond Course from GIA, Gemological Institute of America. This was the inception of the destined relationship between Yvan and diamonds.
His desire to acquire more knowledge on diamonds increasing dramatically. In 1994, Yvan decided to leave the retail world and open a factory in the heart of the Diamond District in New York City. This lead to excelling in designing, diamond setting, all aspects of bench work, polishing and diamond/gemstone wholesaling. Whilst developing the art of jewelry manufacturing he discovered his innate talent and true passion – Diamonds. Yvan’s theory was that there is a story behind every piece of jewelry, especially with diamonds. He realized that wearing jewelry is a form of art that expresses each individual’s personality. He thrives when he matches a magnificent piece of jewelry with someone, as a new story is born.
After earring his Graduate Gemology degree from GIA, he asked himself: “Could there be more to diamonds than just a financial and social status symbol? What if there was a story before the story?”. That’s when obsession started knocking on the door of his mind. He started digging deeper and deeper in the mine of his Soul searching for answers and seeking to understand. The day he was ready and truly decided to open this door there stood a teacher. A teacher named Master Choa Kok Sui. He became his guiding light in the obscure and lonely path of self-discovery. Devotion, purification, meditation, self-study and helping others became the new routine.
As his questions were answered, new questions arose. Today, after twenty-six years in the diamond industry and sixteen years of self-discovery, self-analysis, inner reflection and meditation Yvan came to the conclusion that there definitely is an undeniable parallel between diamonds and humans. Since this discovery, fueled by his new passion, Yvan’s mission is to share this realization, this message with the world. -

Can You Have Justice without Empathy?
Engage principled thinking grounded in empathy to support a corporate Code of Ethics
Otto B. Toews, Ph.D.
About the Book
When I conducted an informal survey of middle to old-age folks representing a range of professionals and tradespeople on the question, Can you have justice without empathy? most answered, “NO! You cannot have justice without empathy.” A few said, “I don’t know.”
How might CEOs answer this question? Does it matter? My informal survey suggests that the public would say YES, it does matter.
CAN YOU HAVE JUSTICE WITHOUT EMPATHY? outlines how empathy can and must serve as a foundation for exercising principled thinking to resolve conflicts in pursuit of justice. Both emotional intelligence (empathy) and cognitive intelligence (principled thinking) are needed to resolve conflicts.
This book is written for students in business colleges and corporate management teams to enhance their ability to make just and fair decisions. Hypothetical conflict scenarios and conversation challenge users to work through conflicts that arise in companies.
About the Author
Dr. Otto Toews had a primary commitment to education throughout his career, though it took different forms from classroom teacher, principal, assistant superintendent, and teaching university graduate students. This was followed by the development of educational software with Apple, courseware for Microsoft, and the development of a website on grammar and writing resources for students in remote villages in Malaysia and China.
In his Ph. D., he developed a framework for exercising discretion to pursue justice in administration which became the framework for his book, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN THINK?
His wife, Joan McCreath, was actively engaged in many of his initiatives including the focus on empathy in this book.

Telos, Dreams, and our Continuing Human Evolution
Marley Shen-Cecilio
About the Book
We humans are still continuing to evolve into higher beings, through the actions and nurturance of our dreams and instincts. I know this to be true because as partly described in this book, I underwent the stages of these processes in the past 34 years, and still continuing. This book differentiates the Telosmor spirit from our consciousness or mind. Describes how the incorrect teachings of intellectuals since the Age of Englightenment (past 400 years) caused our human condition to deteriorate. Gives a real life example of how our evolution actually begins and the general kinds of unusual phenomena a person will undergo. Differentiates the kundalini, chakra, and other psychic energies from the Telos or spirit. Gives examples of how it feels to be “touched” by the Telos. Gives brief biography and gist of Carl Jung’s Paradigm of Individuation.About the Author
Marley Sheng-Cecilio is a Filipina. Her father was from Macao, China; her mother was from the Philippines. Her thesis from an M.A. in Literature was published in Kinaadman (Wisdom), a journal published by a consortium of Jesuit universities in Southern Philippines. This non-fiction is her first book.

Is God an Obstacle to Science
Ghassan K. Sayegh
About the Book
The backbone of this book is what God asserted in his Holy Bible:
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge» (Hos 4:6), and to offset this fact, the believer should read the Bible so that he/she may sincerely say: «Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my way» (Psa 119:105), since, «The heart of the prudent gets knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge» (Pro 18:15). This book proves beyond any shadow of doubt that what scientists harangue with is 100% compatible with the words of the Almighty God.
About the Author
On the outside as much as on the inside, I am a whole person, a one person, a human phenomenon, an individualistic blend and mixture of East and West cultures, in which God’s creative handy-work has manifested in the most artistic and nifty fashion. I am also blessed by being called one of the Living God’s Children in Jesus Christ.
However, «Me, Myself and I» had a lifelong meeting and we unanimously agreed to disagree. Thus, together or separately, we may laugh or cry; we may engage or disengage; we may compete or idle; we may create or destroy. We may seem acting classically and dependently, yet we portray an epicurean, schizoid and schizophrenic triune that continually sways and oscillates, often adopting dimensions of abulia, amentia and amnesia. Together, they confirm my oneness and wholesomeness, yet, separately and alternatively, they subject my world to natural extremes of heaven and hell.
Being a Spirit, Soul and Body, my triune «Me, Myself and I» takes turns in pushing the limits of my creativity by exciting my mind, soul and taste. The arid terrain of my unliterary line of breadwinning work and business is devoid of literary scope and span but properly represents the «Me» of the triune, while the literary world of poetry, prose and sketching are forever exclusively the tenets of «Myself». «Me» and «Myself» are the mirrors through which the «I» shines, and collectively known as: Ghassan K. Sayegh.
All my books, researches, poetry and sketches are published on my huge website: www.gsayeg.com and they are in three languages: Arabic, English & French.

About the Book
The Journey of Womanhood is a non-fiction novel about a woman named Rita who left her home in Nigeria to the United States in a bid to have a better understanding of the struggle of womanhood and the fight against cultural norms and the limitations they impose on women.

Theodore Roosevelt’s Arizona Boys
Marty F. Feess
About the Book
Theodore Roosevelt reinvented the presidency for the twentieth century with his use of the “bully pulpit” and his emphasis on the “square deal.” In so doing he enlivened American politics and made the federal government relevant for the common man. This was nowhere more true than in the southwest which had provided his famous Rough Riders. A great many former Rough Riders gained political appointment in Arizona after Roosevelt became president. This book is about the unique relationship between Roosevelt and his Rough Riders in Arizona and how Arizona politics and Roosevelt’s administration and career were affected. Many of the characters are colorful and these true stories are rich in hope, humor, and humanity.About the Author
Marty F. Feess taught history in Arizona high schools and community colleges for twenty years. He received his Ph.D. in history from Northern Arizona University in 1999. He is now retired and living in Sun City, Arizona with his wife, Karen. He has written four books. -
Pharmacy in Bondage
Dr. Patrick Ojo
About the Book
We have specialists catering to every aspect of our life except the poison that we pump into our body as drugs; all specialists are in control of their destiny except pharmacists, who are treated like children in their supposed area of jurisdiction; pharmacists are overeducated, underutilized and marginalized medical practitioners; drugs are chemicals and chemicals are poisons. The drugs we pump into our body at dawn can send us to our grave at dusk instead of ameliorating our condition. It is in light of these facts that this book was written to buttress the plight of pharmacists, pharmacy profession and the need to liberate the profession from bondage for the benefit of mankind. The book depicts an accurate historical account of pharmacy, its bondage, subservience, topsy-turvy fame, service to humanity and awesome contribution to the healthcare system of US/World. It also elaborates the history and shortcomings of other branches of medicine. Dean Grossman of LIU School of Pharmacy, Drug Topics survey of drug manufacturing company executives, research studies in the book, study upon study, and others vindicated clinical pharmacists as drug experts or the most knowledgeable medical practitioners about drugs/medications in the medical field yet they have to obtain permission for drug usage from other branches of medicine that do not know as much about the profession as the practitioners. Something must be inherently wrong in a system that relegates or subjugates the best at the altar of tradition and societal indoctrination. These issues contained in the book were evident everywhere during my tour of the six habitable continents off the world (China and India in Asia, Nigeria in Africa, Australia, UK and France in Europe, Brazil in South America and US in North America). Pharmacy/pharmacist is a branch of medicine and not an errand boy of medicine.

YOU
Vane Lashua
About the Book
For the past 50-some years I have been threatening to write a book. I’ve written poetry, political essays, lettersto-the-editor and stories about my life. Some of these are included here. Originally I wanted the title to be “Accidental Tourist” until I found that there is a play and movie by that title. Because I’ve often found life events and direction somewhat random, it came to me as a good description. Then, because of a need for a new title, “You” emerged. As a young teen, I read the prologue poem by Auden from a Look magazine page. At first reading, it assigns life’s negative influences to another. As I “matured”, I came to realize that my “Overfamiliar Dense companion” is me — each of ours. I preserved and reflect often on that original page.About the Author
Working in a family print shop as I grew up led to my career, first in education and then to publishing and dramatic technology development — with R.R. Donnelley, Readers Digest, and Sothebys over 50 years. While working at Columbia University for 5 years “at the turn of the century”, I became fascinated with geothermal energy technology and have since attended conferences and visited geothermal energy sites. (http://thnktnk.net/drill.html) is a paper I wrote on the subject. Presently I am involved in several community organizations (Library, Park, Arts, Downtown, Bird Sanctuary) in my hometown where I moved five years ago from New York. I live there with my fiancée whom I re-met at our 50th high school reunion. We have enjoyed Europe, China and US0 travels together. -
