A guide for Hamilton wristwatch collectors to identify watches made between 1917 and 1969.

The site of Eden in relation to Israel was obtained while studying the Jewish seventh-day sabbath, and it falls on the International Date Line. This convergence is astonishing and led to my biblical and historical dig into our past. I found out that the International Date Line is not an arbitrary decision, it comes from all of us in all our sites around the world, it comes from a shared beginning. It makes sense that it would come from the beginning according to the origin account of the Bible, we all have a common ancestor, Adam, who was taught by God the days of the week to remember to keep the sabbath holy for communion with the creator and that this tradition of the week was passed down to all descendants of Adam. Like all other traditions that remain with us since their beginning, this shared tradition of the week has the effect of providing us the site of Eden, corroborated by the sabbath in relation to Israel. Thanks to the Sabbath still kept by the Jews to this day we have learned the significance of the International Date Line. Many efforts have been made to identify the site of Eden, the most popular based on the merging of rivers, but that is incompetent after the flood event mentioned in the Bible. Rivers will not help us identify the site of Eden because of the flood, they could not think of a better way, but the Sabbath does reveal the site of Eden, when understood correctly, it turns out that the Jews have not understood the Sabbath and neither has anyone else. To discover something no one has understood before is exciting and of course I want to share it. In this book I will explain the mesmerizing way the sabbath and the tradition of keeping count of days by all of us around the world since the beginning corroborate each other to give us the site of Eden.

A New York Times Bestseller & the Basis for the Hit Showtime Docuseries Murder in the Bayou is a New York Times bestselling chronicle of a high-stakes investigation into the murders of eight women in a troubled Southern parish that is “part murder case, part corruption exposé, and part Louisiana noir” (New York magazine). Between 2005 and 2009, the bodies of eight women were discovered in Jennings, Louisiana, a bayou town of 10,000 in the Jefferson Davis parish. The women came to be known as the Jeff Davis 8, and local law enforcement officials were quick to pursue a serial killer theory, stirring a wave of panic across Jennings’ class-divided neighborhoods. The Jeff Davis 8 had been among society’s most vulnerable—impoverished, abused, and mired with mental illness. They engaged in sex work as a means of survival. And their underworld activity frequently occurred at a decrepit motel called the Boudreaux Inn. As the cases went unsolved, the community began to look inward. Rumors of police corruption and evidence tampering, of collusion between street and shield, cast the serial killer theory into doubt. But what was really going on in the humid rooms of the Boudreaux Inn? Why were crimes going unsolved and police officers being indicted? What had the eight women known? And could anything be done do stop the bloodshed? Mixing muckraking research and immersive journalism over the course of a five-year investigation, Ethan Brown reviewed thousands of pages of previously unseen homicide files to posit what happened during each woman’s final hours delivering a true crime tale that is “mesmerizing” (Rolling Stone) and “explosive” (Huffington Post). “Brown is a man on a mission...he gives the victims more respectful attention than they probably got in real life” (The New York Times). “A must-read for true-crime fans” (Publishers Weekly, starred review), with a new afterword, Murder in the Bayou is the story of an American town buckling under the dark forces of poverty, race, and class division—and a lightning rod for justice for the daughters it lost.
