After surviving kidnapping and sustained abuse at the hands of a deranged psychotic ex-boyfriend, Life has returned to a semblance of normality for wealthy entrepreneur Natasha Curland and her family. Despite the physical damage she has sustained, the love of her Husband Neil and the needs of her two young children have helped her to close off the horror of the past and concentrate on the future. Unfortunately for the Curland family, Natasha and Neil's risqu , somewhat seedy past see's their future inextricably linked with the machinations of powerful nations, greedy corporations, and political kingmakers. When a terrorist bomb narrowly misses destroying her entire family, Natasha must search within herself to find the answer why influential people want her dead. Natasha's own wealthy connections in the United States will not be able to help her this time for fear of deadly reprisals; however the Curland's luck changes when they meet a member of the Israeli Secret Service. Adiel Zeev furnishes them with crucial intelligence and agrees to join them in a struggle against a mutual foe. The Curland's have a few weapons in their arsenal. On top of their considerable self-made wealth, Neil is ex British Forces, he is also a lifelong 'biker', giving him access to a worldwide network of willing and able 'brothers' whose loyalty cannot be bought and sold. The darkest of situations are frequently lifted by the natural humor of the 'Brothers in arms' with the 'graveyard' banter between members of the biker fraternity sometimes unexpected, inappropriate, but always appreciated. In a desperate attempt to keep Natasha alive, the group breaks off into two, one traveling to Bahrain as an expeditionary force with a mission to locate and apprehend the mastermind behind the plot, the other; consisting of Neil, Natasha, and the Mossad Captain Adiel Zeev travel to the country of Natasha's birth; Italy, in an attempt to locate the 'smoking gun' that links the innocent girl to a ruthless narcissistic terrorist chief. Once again they find themselves calling on the incredible 'biker bond' in an attempt to secure safe passage across the Alps from southern France into northern Italy. The beauty and tranquility of what is perhaps the most breath-taking scenery in Europe will be torn asunder when professional hit-men hired to kill Natasha come head to head with the group of 'outlaw' bikers, led by the charismatic Moss, an ex-SAS member, sworn to risk his own life for Natasha and Neil for no other reason than because he gave his word. Death and carnage line the route which Natasha takes on her road to discover the secret behind her importance, the reason why she must die. With the evidence secured, the three must find a way to re-join the main group and present the evidence to people with the power to use it. The enemy is determined and globally entrenched, but the bikers are clever, and possess a feral cunning which the enemy completely underestimates. Not content to be a passenger in her own life anymore, Natasha seizes the initiative, and reveals a strength and determination hitherto unseen by her peers. When the action migrates to the foothills of the Pakistani Himalayas, expect carnage on a biblical scale as cultures and countries, princes and peasants collide in a convoluted struggle towards Natasha's final retribution.
Priests Without People

Priests Without People

Nicholas P. Cafardi

Ross House Press
2018
nidottu
Priests Without People is a novel about cardinals, bishops, pastors, seminarians, lay people, and, yes, even popes trying to find their way to salvation in the turmoil resulting from the Second Vatican Council in the Catholic Church. It's the 1960's, and strange things are happening as priests, people and prelates try to come to terms with the changes the Council has set in motion. The authority of bishops and pastors has been reduced, and young priests, seminarians, nuns and lay people are speaking their minds. It is a brave new ecclesiastical world of confusion-and sometimes chaos-in which the only clear voice is that of the Lord. But is anyone listening? And if so, where do they go with what they think they've heard? Review: To read "Priests Without People" by Nicholas Cafardi is that rare reading pleasure: the assurance of being held securely in the hands of a master storyteller. Cafardi earns our trust by being a truth teller. In unadorned, elegant language, he reveals the quiet inner lives of religious men from boyhood bedeviled by sin, througth the volcanic male struggle to touch, on to old age devoid of earthly solace. His characters breathe the same air we do. Adding to the dramatic tension throughout are the spiritual high stakes felt from start to finish in this often funny and fun story of American parish priests who find themselves in the presence of the Pope. Written with an insider's authority, we travel to Rome and participate in its centrality to Christ's presence on earth. This necessary novel belongs in every believer's library. --Arthur Giron, author of "Edith Stein", "St. Francis in Egypt" and co-author of the Broadway epic "Amazing Grace".
Industrial Gas Flaring Practices

Industrial Gas Flaring Practices

Nicholas P. Cheremisinoff

John Wiley Sons Inc
2013
sidottu
With the consequences of the world's gas flaring practices only just beginning to be understood or even studied, this volume is the first in decades to tackle a very difficult hot-button issue for our time that could significantly reduce CO2 emissions and their affect on global warming. When properly used and maintained, flare gas systems can be a safe and reliable technology for system protection and in controlling emissions stemming from emergency releases. However, when misused and/or not carefully maintained, flaring operations can be a significant source of toxic emissions that adversely impact on air quality. Further to this, there are often misconceptions and misrepresentations on flaring efficiencies. This has led to under reporting of releases of toxins within communities. Flares are widely used throughout the oil refining and petrochemical industries to manage waste gases and as a means of safety control of over pressurization of process units. Both industry and environmental statutes concerning the regulation of flares characterize flaring as a safe practice that is capable of controlling air emissions to a high level of efficiency. But flaring operations are conducted far more frequently than systems were originally intended to operate, and aging refineries and petrochemical plants have given low priority to the critical maintenance and replacement of flare system components. The consequences have been far greater emissions than are generally reported along with serious accidents that have caused loss of lives and extensive damages to facility infrastructure and community property. This volume is intended as a technical reference for refineries and chemical plants. The information contained herein is the result of reviewing the general literature of flaring options and technologies, reviewing industry and U.S. EPA-published studies, and examining some of the practices of certain refinery operations where information has been accessible.
Dust Explosion and Fire Prevention Handbook

Dust Explosion and Fire Prevention Handbook

Nicholas P. Cheremisinoff

John Wiley Sons Inc
2014
sidottu
Up-to-date and thorough coverage of the causes, repercussions, and prevention of dust explosions and fires by one of the most well-respected environmental scientists and worker safety litigation specialists in the world This handy volume is a ready “go to” reference for the chemical engineer, plant manager, process engineer, or chemist working in industrial settings where dust explosions could be a concern, such as the process industries, coal industry, metal industry, and others. Though dust explosions have been around since the Earth first formed, and they have been studied and written about since the 1500s, they are still an ongoing concern and occur almost daily somewhere in the world, from bakeries to fertilizer plants. Dust explosions can have devastating consequences, and, recently, there have been new industrial standards and guidelines that reflect safer, more reasonable methods for dealing with materials to prevent dust explosions and resultant fires. This book not only presents these new developments for engineers and managers, it offers in-depth coverage of the subject, starting with a complete overview of dust—how it forms, when it is in danger of exploding, and how this risk can be mitigated—as well as a general overview of explosions and the environments that foster them. Dust Explosion and Fire Prevention Handbook covers individual industries, such as metal and coal; offers an appendix that outlines best practices for preventing dust explosions and fire and how these risks can be systematically mitigated by these implementations; and incorporates a handy glossary of terms for easy access, not only for the veteran engineer or chemist, but for the student or new hire. This ready reference is one of the most useful texts that an engineer or chemist could have at their side. With so many accidents still occurring in industry today, this must-have volume pinpoints the most common, sure-fire ways for engineers, scientists, and chemists working with these hazardous materials to go about their daily business safely, efficiently, and profitably, with no extraneous tables or theoretical treatises.
Hydraulic Fracturing Operations

Hydraulic Fracturing Operations

Nicholas P. Cheremisinoff; Anton Davletshin

John Wiley Sons Inc
2015
sidottu
Hydraulic fracturing, commonly referred to as “fracking,” is a technique used by the oil and gas industry to mine hydrocarbons trapped deep beneath the Earth’s surface. The principles underlying the technology are not new. Fracking was first applied at the commercial level in the United States as early as 1947, and over the decades it has been applied in various countries including Canada, the UK, and Russia. The author worked with engineering teams as early as the mid-1970s in evaluating ways to improve oil recovery from this practice. By and large fracking was not an economically competitive process and had limited applications until the early 2000s. Several factors altered the importance of this technology, among them being significant technological innovations in drilling practices with impressive high tech tools for exploration, well construction and integrity, and recovery along with discoveries of massive natural gas reserves in the United States and other parts of the world. These factors have catapulted the application of the technology to what is best described as the gold rush of the 21st century, with exploration and natural gas plays proceeding at a pace that seemingly is unrivaled by any historical industrial endeavor. But this level of activity has invoked widespread criticism from concerned citizens and environmental groups in almost every nation across the Globe. This outstanding new volume offers the industry a handbook of environmental management practices that can mitigate risks to the environment and, through best practices and current technologies, to conform to the current standards and regulations that are in place to provide the world with the energy it needs while avoiding environmental damage. For the new hire, veteran engineer, and student alike, this is a one-of-a-kind volume, a must-have for anyone working in hydraulic fracturing.

Perfluorinated Chemicals (PFCs)

Perfluorinated Chemicals (PFCs)

Nicholas P. Cheremisinoff

John Wiley Sons Inc
2017
sidottu
This new volume provides a timely study on the environmental challenges from a specific class of perfluorinated chemical compounds (PFCs) that are now being recognized as a worldwide health threat. Recent studies report that levels of classes of PFCs known as polyfluoroalkyl and perfluoroalkyl (PFASs) exceed federally recommended safety levels in public drinking-water supplies for 6 million people in the United States and that as many as 100 million people could be at risk from exposure to these chemicals. These chemicals occur globally in wildlife and humans. Both PFCAs and PFSAs have been produced for more than 50 years, but have only become of interest to regulators and environmentalists since the late 1990s. Recent advances in analytical methodology has enabled widespread detection in the environment and humans at trace levels. These toxic chemicals have been found in outdoor and indoor air, surface and drinking water, house dust, animal tissue, human blood serum, and human breast milk. Of great concern to communities is the presence of these compounds in a number of drinking water supplies in the U.S. and other countries. This new volume provides a timely explanation of the chemicals, provides a detailed review of the regulations both in the US and European Community, explains the health risk literature, and then explores in great detail available treatment technologies. The volume is a must for public water supply facilities, industrial operations that have historically used these chemicals and face legacy pollution issues, policy makers and the general public.
