Murdered Midas by Charlotte Gray Pdf

A Globe and Mail Top 100 Book of the Year In this “engrossing must-read” by “Canada’s most accomplished popular historian” (Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine), the glittering life and brutal murder of Sir Harry Oakes is newly investigated. Murdered Midas is “superior true-crime writing” (The Globe and Mail). On an island paradise in 1943, Sir Harry Oakes, gold-mining tycoon, philanthropist and one of the richest men in the British Empire, is murdered. The news of his death surges across the English-speaking world, from London, the Imperial centre, to the remote Canadian mining town of Kirkland Lake in the Northern Ontario bush. The murder becomes celebrated as the crime of the century. The layers of mystery deepen as the involvement of Count Alfred de Marigny, Oakes’s son-in-law, comes into question. Also suspicious are the odd machinations of the governor of the Bahamas, the former King Edward VIII. But despite a sensational trial, no murderer is convicted. Rumours about Oakes’s missing fortune are unrelenting, and fascination with the story has persisted for decades. Award-winning biographer and popular historian Charlotte Gray explores the life of the man behind the scandal—from his early, hardscrabble days during the massive mineral rush in Northern Ontario, to the fabulous fortune he reaped from his own gold mine, to his grandiose gestures of philanthropy. And Gray brings fresh eyes to the bungled investigation and shocking trial on the remote colonial island, proposing an overlooked suspect in this long cold case. Murdered Midas is the story of the man behind the newspaper headlines, a man both admired and reviled who, despite great wealth and public standing, never experienced justice.

Midas by Syed Zayyan Ahmed Pdf

It all started on a night like tonight, the grey hounds were wailing at the moon while coreless summer winds blew hot. I was down the very stretch of the Siberian reserve when I heard a heart piercing loud scream. I ran towards the voice with my flash light and sound nothing but a long trail of blood. I went closer to take a look and found that the blood trail was fresh. I knew something was wrong. Suddenly, piercing the pure silence was a humongous roar. It was the roar of the tiger.

Midas by Mary Shelley Pdf

The master of mythological retellings strikes again. Mary Shelley’s ‘Midas’ (1922) is a mythological verse drama originally written for children. It is considered to be the romantic and lyrical counterpart to ‘Proserpine’ (1832). The play tells the story of King Midas, whose touch turned everything to gold, and the musical competition between the Greek God’s, Apollo and Pan. The mighty King Midas must judge the winner of the contest but faces the wrath of a God for his decision. Mary Shelley provided the blank verse while her husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley, wrote the lyrical poems. Their combined talents create a classic retelling of an ancient Greek myth. Fans of Madeline Miller's 'Circe', Jennifer Saint's 'Ariadne' will enjoy this master at work. Mary Shelley (1797–1851) earned her place in the pantheon of British novelists with her ground-breaking Gothic novel ‘Frankenstein’ (1818). Considered one of the first true works of science-fiction, the book became an instant bestseller. But she was far from a one-hit-wonder, producing a host of other novels, including 'Valperga', 'Perkin Warbeck' and 'The Last Man'. Most were not well received in her lifetime, though, only being fully appreciated from the 1960s. She moved in a circle of famed 19th-century writers and philosophers. She was married to the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley and spent time with Lord Byron. Her mother was the philosopher and feminist activist Mary Wollstonecraft and her father was the political philosopher William Godwin. Mary Shelley’s work has been adapted for TV, stage and film on many occasions, with Boris Karloff famously playing Frankenstein’s monster on screen in 1933. Other adaptations include ‘Mary Shelley's Frankenstein’ (1994) starring Kenneth Branagh and Robert De Niro and ‘Viktor Frankenstein’ (2015) starring Daniel Radcliffe and James McAvoy. Most recently, Elle Fanning portrayed Mary in Haifaa Al-Mansour’s film ‘Mary Shelley’ from 2017.

MIDAS Technical Analysis by Andrew Coles,David Hawkins Pdf

This book provides a new, powerful twist to MIDAS technical analysis, a trading method developed by the late Paul Levine. The authors show how to employ MIDAS in trading, from recognizing set ups to identifying price targets. The book explains the basics of MIDAS before demonstrating how to apply it in different time frames. Further, it extrapolates how MIDAS can be used with other more conventional indicators, such as DeMark or moving averages. In addition to introducing new indicators that the authors have created, the book also supplies new computer codes.

Midas Living with a Bird in the Hood by Donita Kordonowy Pdf

Midas is an African gray parrot that was rescued in 2007. After posting some of our conversations on social media, many friends fell in love with the "cantankerous" old bird whose ability to be part of the conversation. He may be the cause of frustration one day but smiling about it the next because we live in the hood; we don't know what he is going to request or, should I say, demand at any given time. He has stopped us from arguing and made us laugh, left us wondering where he heard that from (as if we didn't know) and kept us in constant awe at his many phrases. There will only be one time when we cry because of Midas, which also means that the house will be very quiet. I hope that time doesn't happen for a very long time.

The Taint of Midas by Anne Zouroudi Pdf

Gabrilis Kaloyeros is a bee-keeper on the beautiful Greek island of Arcadia. The ruined Temple of Apollo has been in his care for decades, and he has worked to protect it. But when crooked developers take over the island and the value of the land soars, he is persuaded through unscrupulous means to sign away his interest. Hours later he meets a violent, lonely death. When detective Hermes Diaktoros finds his friend's battered body by a dusty roadside, the police quickly name him the prime suspect. But with rapacious developers threatening Arcadia's most ancient sites, many stand to gain from Gabrilis's death. Hermes resolves to avenge his old friend and find the true culprit, but his methods are, as ever, unorthodox. As in The Messenger of Athens, Anne Zouroudi tells a spellbinding mystery set in an enchanted place, where the myths of the ancient past intersect with the realities of contemporary life, with deadly results.

An Introduction to the Mine Inspection Data Analysis System (MIDAS) by Winthrop F. Watts Pdf

This report describes the Mine Inspection Data Analysis System (MIDAS) developed by the Bureau of Mines to analyze the records of industrial hygiene samples collected by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) in metal and nonmetal mines. MIDAS is the first system capable of sorting, editing, analyzing, and reporting these data. It is also the first system designed to be used by a number of Government agencies. At present the system contains 225,000 personal and area samples for 61 contaminants in 45 industries. The records date from 1974 to early 1980, and MSHA plans to provide yearly updates to the system. This report presents preliminary analyses of dust exposures and discusses the potential uses and limitations of these data. Analysis of the dust data for 1978 and 1979 showed that bagging had the highest percentage of dust overexposure. Morn than 40 pct of the 1,536 respirable quartz dust, total nuisance dust, and total silica dust samples exceeded the MSHA exposure limit. Other dusty occupations are ranked according to their percentage of overexposure.
