Bob Schlegel grew up on a struggling family farm, and like his entrepreneurial father, he took charge of his destiny by starting his own businesses—often more than one at a time. He and his wife Myrna partnered together in their early endeavors and raised a family of entrepreneurs. Their diverse startups included a chain of fifteen superior nursing and retirement centers, as well as the nation’s leading manufacturer of paving stones and landscaping materials. Though they faced substantial challenges and even near-bankruptcy, they persevered and built highly profitable enterprises with the help of “angels”—both earthly and heavenly. Bob shares his experiences—his failures as well as his successes—with the goal of inspiring others to start their own businesses.
Robert Schlegel weaves elements of deceit, treason, murder, combat and sexual content into a contemporary story involving the calculated theft of several tactical nuclear missle warheads from a Russian weapons depot. The weapons are to be ransomed to the highest bidder by a clandestine criminal organization. Thomas Slaton, a covert agent for a very private intelligence agency, with the cover of a wealthy Key West private investigator, is tasked to recover the weapons. Ironically, while this disaster is developing, Slaton's former sister-in-law heads to Key West for protection and to hide from her hunters. The very criminals who masterminded the nuclear weapons theft have targeted her for assassination on an unrelated event, which threatens their anominity. Utilizing the services of the Navy, Navy SEALS and Marine Corps Air, Slaton mounts a secret mission into Cuba where the weapons were sent. His time frame for the recovery is rather narrow. The leader of the criminal organization has threatened to detonate,one weapon near the Dry Tortugas to prove his insane resolve in obtaining the ransom.

During their lifetime, especially when growing and dividing, cells go through various steps of the cell cycle. Knowledge of the individual steps of the cell cycle will help us understand the development of a variety of diseases better, including cancer, and also to design new drugs against it. New techniques for studying the molecular basis of these processes have recently been developed and are described in detail in this manual. A glossary helps the reader to cope with the complex cell cycle terminology.
