EJFS Episode 3: War of Storms (Elite Justice Force Squad Series)

By: Michael J. Beasley

In the year 2025, four months following the cataclysmic events of Episode Two, a rogue search & recovery operation is carried out by a select faction of Shadow State operatives known as the Storm Renegades commando units. Their objective: locate and retrieve the hidden EJFS strong box, containing a fragment of Vritra’s remains buried at sea. The EJFS founder and chief commander, Khali Mehta Sherpa, remains missing after being captured and imprisoned somewhere in Siberia, Russia. The last person to see Khali was his adoptive son, Singh Puneet Sherpa (a.k.a. Leon Evans), who was contacted by impeached and convicted ex-POTUS Kenneth Hill in a threatening phone call, ending with Singh receiving a media message showing Khali strung, bound, and gagged inside a cargo ship named the Siberia King while en route to Belfast, Northern Ireland. Star EJFS Agent Abhu Dhuval Sandeep (a.k.a. Caleb Porter), now entering his second year since his enlistment into the superagency, supports his grieving best friend as they aim to facilitate the rescue of Khali. Little did they know that Khali is the catalyst to bring about world destruction and extinction to pave the way for the elite tier of society to live a post-apocalyptic life of paradise. Will Abhu, Singh, and the rest of the EJFS find and save Khali and the world before it’s too late? ------ The story opens with a new rogue group of commandos on a search & recovery operation to locate and retrieve the strongbox containing Vritra's relic with assistance from naval officers in the Arctic Ocean. The strongbox containing the lost fragmented vestige was buried at sea to prevent another dragon apocalypse from imperiling the Earth. Newly inaugurated President Wes Grisham and his cabinet work to avert crises involving the EJFS and numerous foreign nationals based in the UK and Russia. Unbeknownst to the Grisham administration, a mole operative was in their midst and awaited the signal to strike at the most opportune moment. ------ The compromised US Secretary of State, Pamela Harsh, routinely abused her authority for personal and political gain. As a rogue government official aligned with what's remaining of The Shadow State, she reformed new factions of the US military by seeking the assistance of Gordon Crowley, a British national leading the Storm Renegades. The nefarious malefactors work with multiple bad actors to subvert the EJFS on all fronts. The decimated Shadow State faction has been continually operating secretly in a plot to bring back Vritra and use ex-POTUS Kenneth Hill's political prisoner, Khali Mehta Sherpa, as the catalyst for the War of Storms endgame. ------ Impeached and convicted ex-POTUS Kenneth Hill remains exiled at his private London estate during the height of the War of Storms operations. Hill's lust for revenge plagued his mind and influenced his decision-making. Working overseas via encrypted messaging correspondence, Kenneth Hill seeks the assistance of the former Counterintelligence Response Bureau, James Wade Matthews, while under house arrest in his New York apartment. The Elite Justice Force Squad's intent to bring all the malefactors to face true justice and to get Khali safely home and back with the EJFS was the top priority of the superagency. ------ The grand conclusion of the original EJFS trilogy has arrived as Abhu and his best friend, Singh, lead the charge to locate and rescue Khali after his capture and imprisonment four months prior. Together, they encounter multiple obstacles to liberate the EJFS founder. With the deck stacked against the duo, will Abhu and Singh overcome impossible odds to save Khali and avert world catastrophe again? ------ The journey spans Atlanta, Norfolk, New York City, Belfast, Dublin, London, Moscow, Oblastnaya, Siberia, and Amsterdam.

By: Michael J. Beasley

In 2024, fourteen months following the apocalyptic events of Episode One, a new global threat begins to rear its ugly head. While encased inside a dragon-shaped amulet necklace once belonging to the late Ravan, Vritra's remains have changed hands in a newfound alliance between two Cold War-era foe nations. A former biotech engineer for the fallen Final Wave terrorist organization Anastasia Zima establishes a foreign asset to her handler, POTUS Kenneth Hill, in their partnership with an elusive, seditious cabal named The Shadow State. Their objective is to form a new world order with Vritra's remains coupled with geoengineering experiments at the hands of a technological, evil mastermind, Jagmohan Gyan, based in New York City plot to topple the free world ahead of the imminent 2024 Presidential Election imperiling the nation and the entire planet.

Alongside his best friend and fellow stellar agent, Singh Puneet Sherpa, they both must work together with the entire EJFS to put a stop to the Shadow State before they attempt to accomplish their terrible goal. The race against time continues as the superagency encounters many dangers and obstacles in their quest to retain integrity, honesty, and justice in the political season while doing their best to protect humanity.

The story begins in the late-night hours in New York City on one rainy November night. An artifact buyer named Judson Clayborn from Upper Manhattan seeks out vital information regarding the whereabouts of the ancient necklace containing Vritra's dormant energy after Vritra was defeated in the previous year by both EJFS Agents Abhu and Singh. He meets with a darkly-clad individual who has the information Clayborn is seeking. Soon enough, he falls into a trap set by The Shadow State to capture the expeditor to reprogram him into a Shadow State powerhouse operative to carry out a series of missions to accelerate the Shadow State's hostile takeover of the world, forming a New World Order. ------ EJFS Agents Abhu and Singh form romantic relationships with fellow agents Durga and Gangi, respectively.

His second-in-command, Raj, backs him up as they deploy teams to various locations in Europe to capture the Shadow State leader and secure the necklace of Vritra. The effort encounters difficulty as an evil tech giant, Jagmohan Gyan, geoengineers a monstrous hurricane to impact the nation before Election Day. Can Abhu, Singh, and the rest of the EJFS expose and prevent the Shadow State from toppling the free world? ------ The journey spans the globe in multiple locations, including Atlanta, Georgia; New York; Washington D.C.; Hungary; Switzerland; Poland, and Belgium.

Education and Modernity in Colonial Punjab

Khalsa College, the Sikh Tradition and the Webs of Knowledge, 1880-1947

By: Michael Philipp Brunner

This book explores the localisation of modernity in late colonial India. As a case study, it focuses on the hitherto untold colonial history of Khalsa College, Amritsar, a pioneering and highly influential educational institution founded in the British Indian province of Punjab in 1892 by the religious minority community of the Sikhs. Addressing topics such as politics, religion, rural development, militarism or physical education, the study shows how Sikh educationalists and activists made use of and ‘localised’ communal, imperial, national and transnational discourses and knowledge. Their modernist visions and schemes transcended both imperialist and mainstream nationalist frameworks and networks. In its quest to educate the modern Sikh – scientific, practical, disciplined and physically fit – the college navigated between very local and global claims, opportunities and contingencies, mirroring modernity’s ambivalent simultaneity of universalism and particularism.

EJFS Episode 1: Vritra's Rebirth

By: Michael J. Beasley

In the year 2023: Caleb Porter, 22, lives in a modest apartment building and down on his luck while searching for his calling in life. He was forced to move to the cramped living space after a shady politician spearheaded a budget proposal to increase taxes in the city dramatically. Hoping to escape his quandary, Caleb dreamed of enlisting in the US Military. However, his lack of physical development prevented his ambition from becoming a reality. Until one September day, he was offered a role with a new secret agency comprised of undercover superhuman super-agents posing as taxi drivers, stealthily correcting corruption, tyranny, and terrorism worldwide. Soon, Caleb is swept in a whirlwind of events that lead to a bizarre chain of events that lead to a significant geopolitical struggle and a cataclysmic world event threatening humanity's survival. ------ Using highly-advanced technology, the EJFS can build their recruits into superhuman brutes with various capabilities ranging from powerful wind breath to other forms of weather manipulation and control. The EJFS network possesses a massive presence worldwide, monitoring all levels of the chain of power in each region and locality within its scope across the globe. ------ Caleb, a.k.a. Abhu Dhuval Sandeep (Caleb's alternate persona), and his trainer, Agent Singh Puneet Sherpa, embark on an epic chase, attempting to avert an impending global calamity from occurring. Together, they soon form a long-lasting friendship after a perilous situation takes shape, separating Singh and the star agent from protecting his new best friend. Khali, the chief commander of the EJFS, operates and manages the super-agency in which he formed. Serving alongside his second-in-command (Agent Raj Ajith Kalidas) is well-respected among his subordinates. The mission to prevent Vritra's rebirth faces complications as two moles within the agency, working for the rival Final Wave terrorist organization, plan their betrayal of the EJFS to rejoin Final Wave in its bid to conquer the world with Vritra seizing control of Planet Earth. Will the EJFS succeed in stopping the apocalypse, or will their efforts come up short? ------ The journey spans the globe from Atlanta, Georgia to Dubai, UAE, and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Berlin, Germany, and Siberia, Russia.

South Asia's Modern History

Thematic Perspectives

By: Michael Mann

This comprehensive history of modern South Asia explores the historical development of the Subcontinent from the beginning of the eighteenth century to the present day from local and regional, as opposed to European, perspectives. Michael Mann charts the role of emerging states within the Mughal Empire, the gradual British colonial expansion in the political setting of the Subcontinent and shows how the modern state formation usually associated with Western Europe can be seen in some regions of India, linking Europe and South Asia together as part of a shared world history. This book looks beyond the Subcontinent’s post-colonial history to consider the political, economic, social and cultural development of Pakistan and Bangladesh as well as Sri Lanka and Nepal, and to examine how these developments impacted the region’s citizens. South Asia’s Modern History begins with a general introduction which provides a geographical, environmental and historiographical overview. This is followed by thematic chapters which discuss Empire Building and State Formation, Agriculture and Agro-Economy, Silviculture and Scientific Forestry, Migration, Circulation and Diaspora, Industrialisation and Urbanisation and Knowledge, Science, Technology and Power, demonstrating common themes across the decades and centuries. This book will be perfect for all students of South Asian history.

The Devil's Redemption : 2 Volumes

A New History and Interpretation of Christian Universalism

By: Michael J. McClymond

2018 Book Award Winner, The Gospel Coalition (Academic Theology) A Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2019 Will all evil finally turn to good, or does some evil remain stubbornly opposed to God and God's goodness? Will even the devil be redeemed? Addressing a theological issue of perennial interest, this comprehensive book (in two volumes) surveys the history of Christian universalism from the second to the twenty-first century and offers an interpretation of how and why universalist belief arose. The author explores what the church has taught about universal salvation and hell and critiques universalism from a biblical, philosophical, and theological standpoint. He shows that the effort to extend grace to everyone undermines the principle of grace for anyone.

From Across the Pond

Book One: New Beginnings

By: Michael T. Bellinger

About the Book The instant attraction and love that Matthew Baldwin and Chloe Singh feel for each other during their first in-person meeting at the beginning of From Across the Pond fuels the rapid development of their relationship. The couple’s past romantic relationships with their friend Kelly Bonner, along with other temptations, add wrinkles and drama to their story. As all of these relationships develop, evolve, and become interconnected, they rub against the grain of societal and family norms, which creates drama and some suspense in the novel. It is hopeful that readers will be able to see folks of different skin colors and ethnicities, folks in the LGBTQ community, and folks in interracial relationships in a more favorable and positive light. It’s time to let go of the fear that breeds the mistrust and hate and to embrace one another as equal members of the human race. It’s time to recognize that regardless of skin color, ethnicity, religious affiliation, and sexual orientation, no matter how big or small the contribution, everyone has something positive to offer to society and civilization. About the Author Despite having been declared legally blind for the past twenty years, Michael T. Bellinger has a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting and a Master’s in Education. He has worked in public accounting as a CPA and in a parochial school as a volunteer classroom teacher, where he taught computers and technology to the K-thru-8 students. Michael enjoys listening to music and audiobooks, and his tastes in both are eclectic. He enjoys writing poetry when the inspiration hits him, and he is currently working on Book Five of the six-book series of From Across the Pond. Michael and his wife, Lisa, have been married for 31 years, and together they share two grown sons. They live in a small town in NJ.

MMR and Autism

What Parents Need to Know

By: Michael Fitzpatrick

The MMR controversy has been characterized by two one-sided discourses. In the medical world, the weight of opinion is overwhelmingly in favour of MMR. In the public world, the anti-MMR campaign has a much greater influence, centred on the fears of parents that the triple vaccine may cause autism in their children. Both professionals and parents struggle to cope with the anxieties this creates, but find it difficult to find a balanced account of the issues. In MMR and Autism Michael Fitzpatrick, a general practitioner who is also the parent of an autistic child, explains why he believes the anti-MMR campaign is misguided in a way that will reassure parents considering vaccination and also relieve the anxieties of parents of autistic children. At the same time, this informative book provides health care professionals and health studies students with an accessible overview of a contemporary health issue with significant policy implications.

Race and Politics in an Island State

Fiji

Race and Politics in an Island State

By: Michael C. Howard

In 1987 -- first in May and again in September -- Fiji, which had often been regarded as a model for racial co-existence, surprised the rest of the world by staging not one but two coups. Most interpreters of the Fijian political scene saw the events as a result of tension between native Fijians and members of other ethnic groups. Michael Howard argues in this book that this interpretation is simplistic. Instead, he points out, the May coup was a strike against democratic government by elements associated with Fiji's traditional oligarchy seeking to hide behind a mask of populist communalism. Howard traces the evolution of Fijian politics from the precolonial chiefdoms, through the colonial era and into the postcolonial period, emphasizing the developments during the latter half of the 1980s. As a close and involved observer, he draws a convincing picture of the leading actors in contemporary Fijian politics and the motives guiding their actions. He describes how the ruling elite -- the Fijian chiefly families and their allies -- has maintained its power by manipulating communal or racially based sentiments and how the opposition has attempted to change the situation by creating political alignments based on social class. In the central part of the book Howard chronicles the rise of the Fiji Labour Party and its 1987 election victory over the ruling Alliance Party. He then discusses the short-lived regime of the Bavadra government and the events leading up to the May 1987 coup. Finally, he looks at events following the coup, as the oligarchy has sought to reimpose control in the face of popular opposition and internal division, discussing their implications for the social condition of Fiji, its international politics, and its internal ethnic relations. The book concludes with the death of Timoci Bavadra in late 1989. A perceptive case study of racial politics in the modern world and a significant new approach to the understanding of the dynamics of a non-western political system, Fiji: Race and Politics in an Island State provides a timely and comprehensive analysis of recent events in this important island state.

Historical Dictionary of Kenya

By: Michael Mwenda Kithinji

Kenya has a rich and complex history. Due to the vast discoveries of prehistoric archaeological remains, Kenya is one of the few places in the world with the largest and most complete record of human’s cultural development. Furthermore, the country’s strategic location astride the Indian Ocean and the East African littoral attracted numerous foreigners such as the Arabs, Persians, Portuguese, Americans, British, Chinese, French, and Germans. Additionally, immigrants from throughout Africa and beyond have settled in Kenya to escape conflict or political persecution, while others wanted an opportunity to begin a new life. As a result of being a gateway to the world, the country traditionally has been one of the most important business, cultural, diplomatic, and political centers in Africa. Still, Kenya, like many other countries throughout the world, has been plagued by an increasing array of complex economic, political, and social challenges. Historical Dictionary of Kenya, Fourth Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 500 cross-referenced entries on important personalities as well as aspects of the country’s politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Kenya.

Policing ‘Bengali Terrorism’ in India and the World

Imperial Intelligence and Revolutionary Nationalism, 1905-1939

By: Michael Silvestri

This book examines the development of imperial intelligence and policing directed against revolutionaries in the Indian province of Bengal from the first decade of the twentieth century through the beginning of the Second World War. Colonial anxieties about the 'Bengali terrorist' led to the growth of an extensive intelligence apparatus within Bengal. This intelligence expertise was in turn applied globally both to the policing of Bengali revolutionaries outside India and to other anticolonial movements which threatened the empire. The analytic framework of this study thus encompasses local events in one province of British India and the global experiences of both revolutionaries and intelligence agents. The focus is not only on the British intelligence officers who orchestrated the campaign against the revolutionaries, but also on their interactions with the Indian officers and informants who played a vital role in colonial intelligence work, as well as the perspectives of revolutionaries and their allies, ranging from elite anticolonial activists to subaltern maritime workers.

The Last Surgeon

By: Michael Palmer

The New York Times bestselling author and master of medical suspense delivers another shocker of a thriller filled with insider details and a terrifying psychopath Four murders. Three accidents. Two suicides. One left... THE LAST SURGEON Michael Palmer's latest novel pits a flawed doctor against a ruthless psychopath, who has made murder his art form. Dr. Nick Garrity, a vet suffering from PTSD—post traumatic stress disorder—spends his days and nights dispensing medical treatment from a mobile clinic to the homeless and disenfranchised in D.C. and Baltimore. In addition, he is constantly on the lookout for his war buddy Umberto Vasquez, who was plucked from the streets by the military four years ago for a secret mission and has not been seen since. Psych nurse Gillian Coates wants to find her sister's killer. She does not believe that Belle Coates, an ICU nurse, took her own life, even though every bit of evidence indicates that she did—every bit save one. Belle has left Gillian a subtle clue that connects her with Nick Garrity. Together, Nick and Gillian determine that one-by-one, each of those in the operating room for a fatally botched case is dying. Their discoveries pit them against genius Franz Koller--the highly-paid master of the "non-kill"—the art of murder that does not look like murder. As Doctor and nurse move closer to finding the terrifying secret behind these killings, Koller has been given a new directive: his mission will not be complete until Gillian Coates and Garrity, the last surgeon, are dead.

The Ocean of Inquiry

The Ocean of Inquiry

Niscaldas and the Premodern Origins of Modern Hinduism

By: Michael S. Allen

Advaita Vedåanta is one of the best-known schools of Indian philosophy, but much of its history-a history closely interwoven with that of medieval and modern Hinduism-remains surprisingly unexplored. This book focuses on a single remarkable work and its place within that history: The Ocean of Inquiry, a vernacular compendium of Advaita Vedåanta by the North Indian monk Niâscaldåas (ca. 1791 - 1863). Though not well known today, Niâscaldåas's work was once referred to by Vivekananda (himself a key figure in the shaping of modern Hinduism) as the most influential book in India. The present book situates The Ocean of Inquiry as a representative of both a neglected genre (vernacular Vedåanta) and a neglected period (ca. 17th-19th centuries) in the history of Indian philosophy. It argues that the rise of Advaita Vedåanta to a position of prestige began well before the period of British rule in India, and that vernacular texts like The Ocean of Inquiry played an important role in popularizing Vedåantic teachings. It also offers a new appraisal of the period of late Advaita Vedåanta, arguing that it should not be seen as one of barren scholasticism. For thinkers like Niâscaldåas, intellectual "inquiry" (vicåara) was not an academic exercise but a spiritual practice-indeed, it was the central practice on the path to liberation. The book concludes by arguing that without understanding both vernacular Vedåanta and the scholasticism of the period, one cannot fully understand the emergence of modern Hinduism"--

Statemaking and Territory in South Asia

Lessons from the Anglo–Gorkha War (1814–1816)

By: Bernardo A. Michael

“Statemaking and Territory in South Asia: Lessons from the Anglo–Gorkha War (1814–1816)” seeks to understand how European colonization transformed the organization of territory in South Asia through an examination of the territorial disputes that underlay the Anglo–Gorkha War of 1814–1816 and subsequent efforts of the colonial state to reorder its territories. The volume argues that these disputes arose out of older tribute, taxation and property relationships that left their territories perpetually intermixed and with ill-defined boundaries. It also seeks to describe the long-drawn-out process of territorial reordering undertaken by the British in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that set the stage for the creation of a clearly defined geographical template for the modern state in South Asia.

Mechanisms of Atmospheric Oxidation of the Oxygenates

By: Jack Calvert,Abdelwahid Mellouki,John Orlando,Michael Pilling,Timothy Wallington

Prepared by an international team of eminent atmospheric scientists, Mechanisms of Atmospheric Oxidation of the Oxygenates is an authoritative source of information on the role of oxygenates in the chemistry of the atmosphere. The oxygenates, including the many different alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, acids, esters, and nitrogen-atom containing oxygenates, are of special interest today due to their increased use as alternative fuels and fuel additives. This book describes the physical properties of oxygenates, as well as the chemical and photochemical parameters that determine their reaction pathways in the atmosphere. Quantitative descriptions of the pathways of the oxygenates from release or formation in the atmosphere to final products are provided, as is a comprehensive review and evaluation of the extensive kinetic literature on the atmospheric chemistry of the different oxygenates and their many halogen-atom substituted analogues. This book will be of interest to modelers of atmospheric chemistry, environmental scientists and engineers, and air quality planning agencies as a useful input for development of realistic modules designed to simulate the atmospheric chemistry of the oxygenates, their major oxidation products, and their influence on ozone and other trace gases within the troposhere.

Border's Battlers

Border's Battlers

By: Michael Sexton

It's the 1986 tour of India, and Australian cricket is reeling from the loss of key players to retirement and rebel tours. Few give Australia a chance against a surging India, and even Allan Border doubts his ability to lead this team. What follows is one of the most titanic struggles in cricket history. Played in oppressive conditions, the first Test in Madras (now Chennai) swung like a pendulum. Tensions reached boiling point on and off the field. Dean Jones's 210 was one of the gutsiest Australian knocks ever, Greg Matthews bowled for most of the final day (in a jumper!) and Ray Bright took five wickets despite being seriously ill. The climactic and controversial final ball forced a tie for only the second time in Test history and set a course for Allan Border to remain as captain. In Border's Battlers, Michael Sexton details the momentous occasion when Australia drew a line in the dust of Madras, and drew inspiration from the fight. The team returned to Madras the next year to launch a winning World Cup campaign as rank outsiders and the seeds of a new golden age of Australian cricket were sown.
