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. -

The Great Kickin’ Dog
Kenneth Crutchfield
About the Book
Ex musician, assembly line worker and alcoholic, John Coleman Sr. is a man with deferred and shattered dreams. Living in a Chicago housing project during the 60’s he is a father raising his eight-member family; four girls, two musical prodigy boys and a mentally unstable wife, in a drug, gang and gun infested environment among households with absent dads. During a competitive time of young musical prodigies, he fights for a pathway out of the projects through his talented sons. On a quest to find a way out, he drags his gifted boys on a whirlwind journey of hope, from talent shows to south side Blues clubs and observes their reputation growing with each performance. But along with the journey to see his boys “get great”, is his ongoing struggle with alcohol, his wife’s neurotic behavior and the fortified barrier of resentment from his jealous daughters all brought on by a family history of mental illness. Not only does John Coleman Sr. have to contend with the inner turmoil of his family, but a family tragedy shakes him to the core and threatens the sanctity of his high-spirited loved ones. The ‘GREAT’ Kickin’ Dog is a Black experience during a turbulent time of civil rights in the 6o’s and free spirits of the 70’s embedded in the cradle of Chicago’s segregation. It is a coming-of-age saga of passion, perseverance and the courage to rise above; a compelling story of hope and the question of fate. -

I Can Do This
Laura Mae Murphy
About the Book
This book, these Stories, were intended to be used by anyone who has the ability to help these individuals fit in wherever they go. If teachers could use these stories to introduce the problem and possibly the solution to the students prior to the introduction of the student with special needs or problems, there wouldn’t be so much apathy in the world.In using animals instead of names, there is no chance of anyone misunderstanding and transferring any of these topics onto anyone specific.
I’ve tried to cover as many issues as I could: communication, deafness, blindness, birth defects, epilepsy, amputees, etc. But the most important goal is acceptance. There could be role playing (i.e., someone could be the cow or the beaver or the iguana). Interaction could play an important role in getting the message across.
About the Author
Laura Mae (Lewis, Murphy) was born in Philadelphia as number two of nine children. She and her family moved twenty-three times in seventeen years, and she often went to three schools a year. Each move brought challenges, trying to catch up academically while trying to fit in socially.Deafness runs in her family and she is raising a mentally challenged daughter, Dawn Rene, who has right temporal lobe epilepsy and is bipolar. At forty-five, she functions at a 4.6 level but her biggest handicap is that she looks normal and everyone expects her to be normal. She becomes flustered and sometimes doesn’t understand why they don’t understand.

The Influence Of Rome
Buddhism, Christian and Islam
Htay Lwin Oo
About the Book
In this book- As of my experience, most of my fellow worshippers or believers who think themselves as they are going the right path on the religion but other not. As they cherish the people so much, they don’t want them going the wrong way or swerving to the wrong path that could lead to hell. So, they are trying to persuade the people to join their path or to participate them in their inner circle of faiths. But on the other hand, I think, they date not to review themselves whether their own beliefs accord with their Religious Books or not. While I was studying some religious books, I found that some of our beliefs came from Ancient Rome myths. I wonder how Roman ideas influenced itself within the faiths of Buddhism, Christianity and Islam. And I happened to know how Apollo had made a place within Buddhist faith and practice, how the belief “Son of God” came from Rome and overwhelmed Christianity and, how Roman myths have affected the Islamic belief that “woman can deliver a child, without biometric father”.About the Author
I have thoroughly studied about religions especially Buddhism, Christian and Islam since 1984. I approached many religious places and devout persons, and I thoroughly study what are the illogical myths and what are the real teachings from the main Books (Pitakat, Bible and Koran). And I feel that religion, under the effect of myth, has deprived our new generations of real religion that dignifies the human being to attain a tranquil mind and intellectual power. I myself put my belief in Islamic faith. But I want to be a pure Muslim among the lover for Human Rights, mutual understanding each other in the multi culture globe, and peace. I wish the innocents to get the free thought mind and free from myths and anecdotes or accustomed tradition that hostile on right to think. I was trying to publish my manuscripts in my native country, Burma also known as Myanmar, but there is no right to express under military regime, and I fled to Thailand in 1998. There, I had been detained because of my political opinion. I was allowed to resettle in United States in 2004. Now I live in Utica, New York. -

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.
