The circus was in town and they had a new clown. Tackey QJohn was dominating the center ring of the Barnum and Gates Interstellar Circus now touring the fringes of the Milky Way spiral arm. It was the opening of the Greatest Show in the Galaxy and some idiot was trying to ruin his walk on. QJohn had just walked into the spotlight in his show master's tailed jacket, multi-colored Afro, red nose, and ultra-tall top hat when another clown stepped up onto the ring row, pulled out a gun, and fired at Tacque Q. Fortunately Trixsey had seen the assassin, raced Pegasus in the air acrossed the ring, lassoed the killer clown from above, and spoiled his aim. QJohn felt a sting in his left biceps, but had enough sense to pulled the long barreled prop gun from his right-side clamp holster, aimed at the killer clown, and pulled the trigger. There was an massive explosion of smoke and sound as QJohn stumbled backwards across the ring and landed on his bottom. The crowd roared in laughter and applauded as the remaining clowns rushed in to the ring and into their acts. Above the laughter, the voice of a child ran out, "Look, Mama! He's bleeding.

Evangelizing the Scientist

Good News

By: Dr. Marvin C. McMaster

Science without religion is lame, Religion without science is blind. - Albert Einstein Science offers wonderful tools to investigate the world, but the world of the Spirit defies rigorous study. Christianity offers hope for the future and salvation after our death. How does a scientist accept something that cannot be studied with the techniques of his training? How do we unite these apparently incompatible views of the world around us into a single system of living? Science and Religion are both based on belief in something. Science believes in cause and effect, that there is logic to the things that happen in the world. Christianity believes that God created the world and he has a plan for what happens in it. Atheism and agnosticism leaves us bankrupt as we approach the end of life. Blaise Pascal said that belief in God offers such great benefits, that religious non-belief is not a viable way of life. Einstein refused to believe that that the world operates on chance; he said that God does not shoot craps. Ministers work with scientists that seek logical answers for the teachings of the church. The purpose of this book is to explain how scientific method works and why it lacks the tools to investigate spiritual events and concepts. It explains the path that one scientist followed to find a belief in God and his plan for our life and hope for the future.

Buying and Selling Laboratory Instruments

A Practical Consulting Guide

By: Marvin C. McMaster

A time-tested, systematic approach to the buying and selling of complex research instruments Searching for the best laboratory instruments and systems can be a daunting and expensive task. A poorly selected instrument can dramatically affect results produced and indirectly affect research papers, the quality of student training, and an investigator's chances for advancement. Buying and Selling Laboratory Instruments offers the valuable insights of an analytical chemist and consultant with over four decades of experience in locating instruments based upon both need and price. It helps all decision makers find the best equipment, service, and support while avoiding the brand-loyalty bias of sales representatives so you can fully meet your laboratory's requirements. The first section of the book guides buyers through the hurdles of funding, purchasing, and acquiring best-fit instruments at the least-expensive price. It explains how to find vendors that support their customers with both knowledgeable service and application support. Also offered is guidance on adapting your existing instruments to new applications, integrating new equipment, and what to do with instruments that can no longer serve in research mode. The second section explains the sales process in detail. This is provided both as a warning against manipulative sales reps and as a guide to making the sale a win-win process for you and your vendor. It also shows you how to select a knowledgeable technical guru to help determine the exact system configuration you need and where to find the best price for it. Added bonuses are summary figures of buying sequence and sales tools and an appendix containing frequently asked questions and memory aids. Buying and Selling Laboratory Instruments is for people directly involved in selecting and buying instruments for operational laboratories, from the principle investigator to the person actually delegated with investigating and selecting the system to be acquired. Sales representatives; laboratory managers; universities; pharmaceutical, biotech, and forensic research firms; corporate laboratories; graduate and postdoctoral students; and principle investigators will not want to be without this indispensible guide.

The Angel Shema

The Final Report on the Covenant

By: Dr. Marvin C. McMaster

This book is a fictionalized report by the Angel of the Covenant with the Jews of the five Temples, of someone who walked or fell in each, and the back-ground story of what was going on behind the scene. It is the story of Salmon, the 4th great-grandfather of David the King who walked in the Tent Tabernacle and spied on Jericho, of Jeremiah the prophet who survived the fall of Solomon's Temple, of the Disciple Thomas who walked in Herod's Temple with Jesus and looked into the face of a man raised from death, of AP reporter Roger Tancred, who confronted the anti-christ in the third Temple at the second coming of Jesus, and of the Angel Shema in the Heavenly Temple when Satan and one-third of the angelic Host fell. The epilog is Jeremiel's, the angel of the books, story of the Day of Judgment in the Valley of Jehoshaphat where angel and humankind all get sorted out.
