As more and more states are becoming dependent on gambling revenue, we are opening the doors to novice gamblers and increasing the potential for existing gamblers to cross the line into illegal activities. Those who have never gambled before, or never engaged in any criminal activity are susceptible to the lure of gambling's promise of instant riches and escape from loneliness, stress, and boredom.

While European commerce in race was substantial, the colonial trade in ideas of race was highly profitable as well. Looking at official propaganda and commercial representations in France during the Third Republic, this book explores the way the French increased the value of their racial identity at home at the expense of their colonized brothers and sisters. The French did not create the identity-effacing stereotypes of Africans, Arabs, and Indochinese. Instead they refined or remolded these images, and as they did so they redefined and remolded their images of themselves. Focusing on world s fairs, colonial expositions, and mundane manufacturers trademarks, Races on Display shows not only the prevalence of racial stereotypes, but also how complex these representations prove to be."

An exposition of an elaborate 1928 distortion of key research data published in JAMA 13 years earlier; how it helped establish modern dentistry as the most destructive form of pseudo-science in the history of human health; and how it has insidiously corrupted the foundations of modern medicine.

Jack Stiles played the horses the way he played his women, and the women supported his habit. He often bragged that he'd never worked for more than a few weeks at a time.After deserting the Marines and heading for Canada he took on the persona of a poet where he learned that women were more than willing to provide support to a talented, struggling artist. It was in Canada that he began his lifelong challenge to use and abuse as many women as possible in his attempt to live life to the fullest.All of Jack's victims were smart, capable women. His final victim, Dr. Diedre Warren, was a successful psychologist. Jack stole her heart, her money, and nearly her life.

LEARN ABOUT THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF MOST "MYSTERIOUS" DISEASES Most so-called "mysterious" diseases are the result of secondary infections that have spread, through the bloodstream, from "oral foci" -- infections in and/or around teeth and tonsils. This has been proved beyond doubt through the combined efforts of a sizeable contingent of the best and brightest medical and dental minds of the Twentieth Century, and particularly established for all time through the monumental works of Edward C. Rosenow, M.D. (1875-1966). This volume is a tribute to Rosenow, his mentors and his associates. This work incorporates: reference to historical foundations and confirming works; concepts of focal infection and polymorphism; and so-called "autoimmune disease" and the AIDS-HIV controversy from a Rosenow perspective. "I am very concerned that the information you possess regarding Rosenow be protected and disseminated to all." ... "It has already helped me save a life." Christopher J. Hussar, D.O., D.D.S., 1997 ..". perchance it is safe to assume that the 'Rosenow heresy' may yet become the medical guide of the future." Walter L. Bierring, 87th AMA President in JAMA 111 (1938), 1626. "The monumental works of Rosenow have... thrown to earth the false theories of older medicine" C. H. Pierce, Journal-Lancet, Minneap., Aug. 1915, 414-9. "Rosenow's elaboration has been so extensive ... as to almost revolutionize former views concerning infection." William W. Duke, Oral Sepsis Mosby, St. Louis, 1918, 74.

auto (self) -hemo (blood) - therapy Learn why bloodletting reigned as the supreme therapy throughout the history of medicine, and how the mechanism of autohemotherapy may be at least partly responsible for its purported beneficial effects. View modern trends involving the use of bone-marrow and stem-cells, and how these "state-of-the-art" therapies intimately relate to autohemotherapy. Review the history of cancer therapy and the striking reliance on autogenous (self-generated) methods, and share in the wonder as to why the safest and surest approach -- the autogeneous one -- is not more widely used in medicine. Begin to comprehend how many forms of therapy may in actuality owe their effectiveness to the simple phenomenon of enabling the body to do what it must to some extent do every day in order to survive -- to heal itself.

This book is written for those who value collaborative inquiry, open-ended questions, and student-centered classroom discourse. Leading student-centered discussions is natural for some people and not-so-natural for others. The teacher's role is more than following a set protocol or asking a series of questions. Like much of teaching, leading a discussion falls somewhere between science, art, and magic as the facilitator faces a constant stream of decisions based on ever-changing student behavior. This book is a model for text-based discussions and provides a framework to make decisions that lead to student-centered conversations focused on the understanding of ideas. The book is divided into three sections. The first is for teachers new to student-centered discussions and describes the "science" of leading a discussion: the basic elements of student-centered, text-based discussions, and how to plan for them. The second delves into the "art" and "magic" of leading discussions and provides a framework for making decisions during discussions as the conversation develops. The third section offers a rich collection of strategies for problem-solving when discussions aren't going well and to guide the reader toward continuous improvement of facilitation skills. The book's decision-making framework stresses safety, authentic participation, challenge, and ownership, all of which will help teachers move from a basic level of understanding of discussion facilitation skills to a deepened understanding of the discussion process and the teacher's role within it.
