The Time Regulation Institute

Book Description

Old Istanbul aristocrats, Turkish teashops, imperial diamonds, and great and humble mosques are juxtaposed with the almost non-descriptive portrayals of neighborhood friendships, family relations, and local public figures who could be found in any city in Turkey or, perhaps, any Eastern setting where the old way of life adopts new and Western counterparts. Ahmet H. Tanpinar's portrayal of modern, post-Ottoman Turkey weaves a theater of the absurd, suggestively representative of the early days of the young Republic. This translation is introduced by an essay by the late Berna Moran, a leading Turkish literary critic.

Customer Reviews:

Great Job.......2002-11-20

Ahmet Hamdi Tanpinar is the greatest and most trustworthy critic of the early stages of modern Turkish literature. There is absolutely no question about the fact that every book/idea that Tanpinar came up with had the most profound influence on the people (poets/authors/intellectuals etc)who came after him. The 'Time Regulation Institute' (Saatleri Ayarlama Enstitüsü)is, most certainly, one of his greatest masterpieces. Many thanks to the publisher and the translator. Excellent job!

Speaks of the heart and soul of a nation.......2002-07-06

The Time Regulation Institute by Ahmet Hamdi Tapinar offers the reader a truly fascinating and engaging narrative set in post-Ottoman Turkey. Ably translated into English by Ender Gurol, The Time Regulation Institute deals with the juxtaposition of opposites: wealthy aristocrats and family people working as hard as they can to scrape by, the old way of life against the influx of modern Western culture, and parallels between the days of the yore and the young Republic. At times absurd, yet always engaging, The Time Regulation Institute is a picturesque and recommended read that speaks of the heart and soul of a nation.

Description:
An emergency diesel generator (EDG) is the ultimate electric power supply source for the operation of emergency engineered safety features when a nuclear power plant experiences a loss of off-site power (LOOP). If a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) with a simultaneous LOOP occurs, the EDG should be in the state of a full power within 10s, which is a prescribed regulatory requirement in the technical specifications (TS) of the Optimized Power Reactor-1000 (OPR-1000). Recently, the US nuclear regulatory commission (NRC) has been preparing a new risk-informed emergency core cooling system (ECCS) rule called 10 CFR 50.46. The new rule redefines the size for the design basis LOCA and it relaxes some of the requirements such as the single failure criteria, simultaneous LOOP, and the methods of analysis. The revision of the ECCS rule will provide flexibility for plant changes if the plant risks are checked and balanced with the specified criteria. The present study performed a quantitative analysis of the plant risk impact due to the EDG starting time extension given that the new rule will be applied to OPR-1000. The thermal-hydraulic analysis and OPR-1000 probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) model were combined to estimate the whole plant risk impact. Also, sensitivity analyses were implemented for the important uncertainty parameters.

Sometimes love is stronger than death. . .

Security agent Dante Moran can't afford the luxury of love-in his line of work, emotions can get you killed. Besides, he's never recovered from the pain of losing his high school sweetheart to a serial rapist and killer. As far as Dante is concerned, his heart died the day he identified her body.

But when he's hired to protect Tessa Westbrook's young daughter from a kidnapper, Dante is shocked to feel his long-buried emotions rise to the surface. Tessa stirs something in him that he hasn't felt since he was a kid. . .something that makes him think she could become more than a client. But Tessa's past is full of secrets. . .and with a killer on the loose, Dante must decide if she's worth dying for--or a reason to live.

Customer Reviews:

Started off great but went downhill from there.......2005-03-18

This book had a great start - good suspense, good writing. But the further I got, the more predictable it became, and the worse the writing got. I had the ending figured out before I was even close to halfway through the book. And the writing was so forced, with way too many details, and awkward lines like "He gave her an inquisitive look." Ms. Barton broke the cardinal writer's rule of 'show, don't tell,' several times over in this book. I don't know if all her books are like this, or if this was the exception, but it'll be awhile before I give her another try.

Great Mystery & Love Story.......2005-02-16

Even though the outcome was predictable, I loved this book. It's amazing what true love and passion can accomplish. I liked the ending especially after the main characters suffered so much and for so many years. Once again, Beverly Barton has written an excellent, kick-ass novel that will keep you coming back for more!

Held my interest.......2005-01-15

Dante and Tessa were a tortured pair. I liked the interaction between the two of them and her daughter.

My problem was Dante was way too obsessed after such a long time. And Tessa needed to leave home, get her own place and fend for herself.

I must say this was much better than the last two in the series!

fabulous romantic suspense .......2004-10-27

In Colby, Texas, seventeen years old Amy Smith waits at night by herself for her boyfriend Dante Moran to arrive to take her home from her job at the Dairy Dip. However, Dante is held up at college and so is running late. Someone attacks Amy, but by the time Dante arrives his girlfriend is gone. No body was ever recovered.

Seventeen years later, Dante leaves the FBI to take a job with the Dundee Agency, experts on personal security. When the Governor and two State senators from Mississippi ask Dundee to find a runaway, they assign Dante to lead the investigation. Dante is stunned as sixteen year old Leslie looks just like Amy did. He visits influential billionaire G.W. Westbrook and his daughter Tessa to start the inquiries into finding the seemingly happy Leslie. Dante thinks Tessa remotely looks like his Amy. Still, as Dante and Tessa fall in love, she admits that she cannot remember her first seventeen years of life. More to the point is that he must find a teen in trouble, who ran away because she learned that her father was a state-executed rapist, a truth hidden by her beloved mother and grandfather.

Best selling author Beverly Barton furbishes readers with a fabulous romantic suspense starring two wonderful protagonists and a fantastic support cast. The story line follows mostly the investigative efforts of the hero, but also shines a light on runaway teens. The support cast is a strong group that hopefully will lead to Dundee sequels especially two other agents on the verge of war between them.

Wow. Just Wow...........2004-11-27

As an avid reader of anything about Tim McVeigh,I waited a long time for this book to come out.I was not disappointed. This book is amazing and it has such an emotional impact on me that I have to let months go by in between readings of it.This book gives you a vivid, real picture of the last two years of Tim's life. It reports a day to day account of the last 2 weeks of his life before he was sadly executed.While Tim haters would probably enjoy it,I was heartbroken as such a bright young man was put to death among the hatred of so many.
The best thing about this book is that it colorfully illustrates Tim as a person. A human being , not a monster. A good person in spite of his actions.This writing also painfully illustrates another side of the death penalty from a side most people don't see or care about-the condemned persons family and friends and makes an eloquent case for why their shouldn't be a death penalty in this country at all.

A completely different account of the bombing is reported here and it will blow your mind. I believe most of it to be the truth , but I still have a hard time fully grasping it all and it has not fully sunken in .If this is all true the implications are amazing, beyond the scope of what most of us can imagine and is NOTHING like the official story.
Supposedly all this came from McVeigh in a deal worked out with the authors that they would not publish it until after the "official" version of his life and death{American Terrorist} that he wanted out there hit the stands and therefore after he was executed.
I feel that we need to hear what the 2 authors of this book have to say.
I am guessing that not many people outside of folks who have a hard core interest in Tim/the bombing or victim's families will pay much attention to this book because it was written by 2 death row inmates and people have a prejudice against taking inmates seriously. But ask yourself-what really do 2 guys on death row have to gain from this other than getting out what they feel to be the truth? Guys on death row keep little if any money from something like this because of laws that stop them from doing so. And since the book hasn't gotten much attention that I've seen,fame wouldn't be the motivation either.
Finally, this book took almost 3 years to write and the authors claim hats because it took that long to verify Tim's claims from outside independent sources and they were able to substantiate 95% of the information Tim gave them.In closing if you ever wondered about the official story of the bombing or Tim as a real person, not the villainous caricature you saw on TV, then you owe it to yourself to read this book.

Definately worth reading........2004-04-17

One of the more interesting books dealing with Mcveigh. Gives a feel for what type of person Mcveigh really was while taking a look at the inner workings of federal death row. I only wish it had a better publisher because it was filled with spelling errors and bad editing which slightly butchered the work of these two authors. And the price is a little steep. But the information is worth the price... Another piece of the puzzle.

Book Description

Whether for cosmetic purposes or for an athletic edge, steroid use among teens is growing. Parents are often blind to the threat; kids see it as an expedient means to a more "buff" body or better athletic performance. But steroids not only harbor a host of side effects, they also are often a gateway drug. A recovered steroid abuser himself, Jeff Rutstein shares the story of his descent into use and the uphill battle he faced with recovery. Rutstein's graphic tale is an effective backdrop to the real lessons of the book: the reasons why kids turn to steroids; signs of steroid abuse; a handle on dealing with the topic for parents; an honest explanation of the dangers of steroid abuse for kids.

At a time when athletes and Hollywood hunks are setting the bar for performance and appearence ever higher with their own steroid use, parents, educators, counselors, anyone involved with the care and nurture of teens, and teens themselves, will find this important book both educational and inspiring.

Customer Reviews:

No basis whatsoever.......2007-02-04

They subtle linguistics of this book is deceitful in and of itself. "The Steroid Deceit" (?) What deceit is there? Steroids were put on a list of controlled substances in 1990- ((against the FDA's own recommendation!)) and yet, this book caters to one's fears which, lets not forget, have been formed by the often ill intentioned, bottom-line driven media. Why do you think, rather than excavating or pursuing more democratically just pursuits of media power - such as the reporting on key congressional votes, history, social injustice, national awareness - - we instead are fed soap operas and '60 minute specials' on the 'danger of these drugs'? It goes so far as to even be mentioned in Bush's State of the Union speech. Since when has it become fashionable to jump on the bandwagon with little to no research as to what these drugs are and how they are properly used by people, athletes, doctors, and men who know EXACTLY what they are doing. The moral rammifications that occur when one asks another to question their beliefs is, well, something that most people do not care to address. They live on in their dogmatic ways of life without questioning, without asking why, without being socratic about ones beliefs and instead feed those stereotypical, uninformed, views that only help to create more propoganda for this subject. They are drugs that doctors use just like any other, just like morphine, etc., any drug that is ABUSED rather than USED properly (and this goes for ANY drug, tylenol, aspirin, any drug!) can lead to effects that are not intended. Now I ask anyone that before you jump on this stereotypical, redundant, dogmatic approach to a subject that is already misunderstood by the mainstream media - be socratic - question - learn how these drugs are used safely, learn how when used properly they are very benefical and offer more positives than negatives ((why do you think doctors still use them on patients if this was not the case)) Also, there is absolutely no proof whatsoever, that these drugs have ever EVER resulted in anyones death! So please stop using that ploy. Cigarrettes kill thousands upon thousands each year!! and yet why does Bush not mention their danger in his state of the union speech? ... Please, the malign underworkings of this institutionalist faction are eroding the very bases of democractic fundamentalism in America today.

Garbage.......2006-10-05

Steroids are bad for developing teenagers. But They are beneficial to adults. They are beneficial for doctors and patients. If you are too immature to use them - you shouldn't. Blaming steroids instead of bad parenting is just pathetic. We are living in an age of science. Steroids are legal in just as many countries around the world. Yet, only in America are people 'dying' of them.

bunk.......2006-07-17

There is no basis to this book.. not science anyway.. Watch the HBO Real Sports video about steroids.. Yes for kids.. roids are very very bad. But this book just preys on fear.

In the USA these days.. find a way to scare people and you can make a buck.. LAME. Just say no and save your money.

The Steroid Deceit.......2006-05-29

Dear Jeff,
Four years ago on May 26, 2002, my son, Justin Henderson, passed away. He was addicted to anabolic steroids. He was an athtlete and a scholar. However, he started using steroids for body enhancement. He suffered most all the side effects you mention in your book. His depression led him to using other drugs. Steroids are a gateway drug. He had an enlarged heart and went into cardiac arrest while working at GNC.
Your book Steroid Deceit was very helpful to me because it clarified the fact that using steroids is addictive and can lead to death. I wished I had the facts that you present in your book when Justin was using steoids. I would have insisted that he go into rehab.
As most kids my son's age (22), they think nothing will happen to them. By reading your book, young boys and girls will get the knowledge they need to help them avoid or quit using steroids. I am very thankful to you for writing a book on the deception of using steroids. As you speak to young people through your book or in person, you will be the voice of those who lost their lives to steroids. My son and anyone else who lost his life will be a testimony to the message you give in your book.
Connie Erdlen, a grieving mom

Good message, but...........2006-05-21

Steroids really aren't that bad for you. It's the same thing as taking a safer birth control pill. Just a hormone.

It's nice that he wrote this book, and aimed it at a good market. But do your own research if you're thinking about taking a "dangerous" supplement.

Buy this book! Learn to refocus the positive aspects of your type A personality for success. Don't let the title fool you. This is not about sitting back in a rocking chair after your first coronary event. Instead, this cardiologist who's as Type A as the rest of us explains how to know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em in dealing with personal, professional and day-to-day social hassles. A great chapter on self talk and how it can frustrate adult stress. And a great chapter with quizzes on dealing with stresses. Take the quizzes on separate sheets of paper, date them, share them or have your significant other take them the same way as well. Periodic readings of this book got me from my first MI through 15 years of middle age, an angioplasty, and my recent triple bypass. The physical predisposition to coronary problems was genetic. My successful adjustment to the stress factors was all from the book, discovered as part of my original coronary rehabilitation in 1985. Read this book. Lead a better life. Buy copies for friends! Enjoy!

Book Description

LIVING SACRIFICES addresses the call of God for each of us to live an important life. Our model is the resurrected Christ, who offered Himself as a living sacrifice. Following the general themes of chapter 12 of the New Testament book of Romans, Part 1 first takes in view the fullness of God's sacrificial mercy. In Part 2, the text illustrates the transformative capacity found only in cooperation with God's provision on our personal behalf. In Part 3, the text seeks to reveal the power and authority we have been granted to overcome evil with good LIVING SACRIFICES weaves together common sense prose, solid scriptural exposition, and candid personal testimony, with unique parables and anecdotes that illustrate the text. An original poem opens and sets the theme for each chapter. The author -- a visual artist, educator, college administrator, and a member of the Grammy Award-winning Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir -- seeks to offer his unique point of view so that those dying to live a more important life may capture a vision of a life worth giving.

Great read and study guide!.......2003-08-27

"Living Sacrifices" is dedicated to all those who struggle and sacrifice daily to give the best of themselves to the many they love . . . Life that is worth the giving! The author, James Haywood Rolling, Jr., has written this book as God's call to each of us to live an important life - a life destined for us by God. It follows the general themes of chapter 12 of Romans in the New Testament. Within its twelve chapters, Part 1 of the book views the fullness of God's sacrificial mercy; Part 2 shows God's provision for us; Part 3 reveals the power and authority we have to fight against evil. Our fight is against Satan's power over us. By putting on the armor of God vividly spelled out for us in the Bible and in this book, we can win the war.

The book is well written, easy to understand, and filled with wonderful scripture verses and thought-provoking parables and vignettes taken from the author's own life. He also opens each chapter with his own original poetry which is filled with deep emotion and stark reality. Each chapter ends with a special STOP AND THINK message that can be adapted to the reader's life to help live a life without self-importance, self-reliance, and self-indulgence â" A LIFE WORTH GIVING. Mr. Rolling has a command of the written word and writes in artistically vivid imagery as if he's painting his words upon a canvas. He opens his heart and his life to us and we can see his pain, his recovery, and his revelation. This is not another one of those dry, boring, 10-step, self-help books. This is the blossoming of a life once filled with "self" into one of God's ambassadors ready for a ministry. Mr. Rolling's spiritual gift as an artist is evident in his verbiage and writing style.

I recommend this book to all Christian readers interested in learning how to walk a closer walk with their Lord and Savior and to view their lives with their eyes turned away from themselves and back onto God. Despite the fact that the book is well written, there are, however, a few proofreading errors. I would have given this book four stars if it wasn't for these errors! If the reader can overlook these, this makes a great read and study guide for the Christian's daily life.

On Becoming Successful: A Practical and Spiritual Guide.......2003-05-25

"Living Sacrifices" is a practical, and spiritually lead guide on how to live a successful life. I highly recommend this book. It caused me to reflect on the fact that we all have the tendency to be concerned with our own achievement - almost to excess! This way of living leads to destruction as we distance ourselves from loved ones, family, community and ultimately our Creator. "Living Sacrifices" suggests that we cooperate, be humble and become unselfish according to basic principles found in the Christian Bible.

I will be able to share "Living Sacrifices" with my great aunt as well as my teenaged niece because the writing is beautifully direct and straight forward. The author, James Rolling, weaves personal reflection, poetry and biblical references in this text. I also thought I would order additional copies for my co-workers as holiday gifts. It is for anyone who wants to achieve their personal best and see a significant change for the better -ultimately in the eyes of the Creator.
