The Empire of the Good and the holders of the Sword of Justice and Freedom (EGaSOJAF) continue to expand their great Empire by annexing competing galaxies, including Chuprin galaxy. Spiritual chaos existed in Chuprin, as most spirits sought some form of sanctuary, considering Chuprin had no reigning deity. A mysterious love affair develops between the human Sénye and the Jaroslaw Orosházi, which came from the Laurentius galaxy in a distant quadrant of the universe. The Empire requests that some Saints prepare of Chronicle of the history of Emsky, so that the million other galaxies under their throne may learn about Emsky. The Nógrád ask Orosházi, a non-human if she will help Sénye prepare this report. The throne gives them visions that they can witness the long history of Emsky, considered primitive. These visions show them the seven stones of the ages, with the first six stones destroyed from a wide range of disasters. To prevent the same ending for the seventh stone, the Power Spirits draw humanoids from distinct parts of the universe, allowing each of the continents to have a distinctive human basis, and hopefully be able to withstand the challenges of time. Orosházi discovers she was the mother of the Nógrád during a previous life. Upon completion of the Chronicle, the Empire awards them with a wedding ceremony by their greatest throne, the Master's throne.

Featuring cuneiform documents newly translated into English, The Raging Torrent: Second Updated and Expanded Edition by Mordechai Cogan, Ph.D, is a comprehensive collection of royal inscriptions and chronographic texts from Assyria and Babylonia. Covering a period of just over three hundred years during the first half of the 1st millennium BCE, The Raging Torrent tells the story of the military encounters between the Mesopotamian empires and the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, which led in most cases to their submission and ultimate downfall. Many of the texts relate to events described in the Hebrew Bible, while others provide information about affairs that were unknown until their rediscovery in modern times. All the texts have been newly translated from the original cuneiform documents and are accompanied by a consecutive commentary and select bibliography. Illustrative material--maps and photographs of relevant artifacts--provide additional accessibility to the sources of this intriguing period in the history of the ancient Near East.

Insulin-like growth factors are ubiquitously expressed and are crucial for growth and function of almost all cells. Together with their binding proteins and receptors, they form a widely studied biological system involving many proteins and characterized by complex interactions. In addition to its significance in growth and development, the insulin-like growth factor system also has important roles in a wide variety of pathological states. This has led to interest in the therapeutic potential of insulin-like growth factors and their binding proteins as candidate drug targets. This comprehensive book contains current information on both basic science and clinical aspects of IGFs and their regulatory proteins, with emphasis on their relevance to cancer.
