The Process of Elimination

Ten Little Indians / And Then There Were None

There is a classic murder mystery story known as "the locked room mystery". Someone is found murdered in a room locked from the inside. No one could have left the room! How did it happen? In this story the locked room is an island where no one can enter or leave. The ten people on this island are murdered one by one. An old nursery rhyme of "ten little Indians" provides a blueprint for the mysterious deaths. Logically, the last survivor would be the presumed murderer, by the process of elimination. But what if this assumption was wrong? It may not sound rational but this story makes it appear so.

Ten people are invited or hired to visit Indian Island off the coast of Devon. After a good meal there is a recorded voice that accuses them of murder. The visitors begin dying off in the manner of that nursery rhyme. After searching the island they realize the murderer is one of the guests! Knowing this does not prevent more deaths. This story keeps your interest until the very end. Scotland Yard cannot figure out the solution until a message was found in a bottle at sea. The movie version modified and enhanced this story. No plan is ever perfect because of the many things that can happen.

This is an example of the classic English murder mystery. The murder exists to provide an intellectual puzzle to entertain the reader. The participants are mostly the middle-class, not average people. The scene is in a large house owned by a rich man. Raymond Chandler pointed out the differences in his essay "The Simple Art of Murder". Most murders occur because of lust or greed, to get it or to keep it. Chandler commented on the highly artificial murder plots which multiply clues that experienced detectives would see through. I found a clue in Chapter IX (but I had seen the movie decades ago).

Chapter XI references one locked room mystery in America. An old gentleman and his wife were killed with an axe. The maid couldn't have done it; the respectable middle-aged daughter was acquitted. No other explanation was ever found. Who killed them? [Arnold Brown's book explains it was done by someone who was kept hidden.]

I'm still working on my decluttering; but found the book very helpful in framing a game plan to start the overwhelming process of discarding and organizing. This book is for those who get overwhelmed by the task that they are frozen into inaction (like me, ugh!). Just have to commit to putting in the time to do it every weekend, for me. First step is to DISCARD (clothes, books, papers, misc, then lastly sentimental stuff). [Side note: OMG, I actually went a little too aggressive with my discarding that I mistakenly discarded/donated a relatively-new bedding sheet set that I thought was old. Oh well, someone who needs it will benefit from it.] Second step is to store stuff. She writes, "The secret to maintaining an uncluttered room is to pursue ultimate simplicity in storage so that you can tell at a glance how much you have." Google or YouTube KonMari for how to fold clothes - it's pretty nifty. I'm actually starting to get the hang of it, LOL. Note: The entire process may take six months, she says, but it sounds like a realistic goal.

The word "quit" often has a negative connoation and is often associated with giving up. In this book, Geri Scazzero does an effective job of how to quit the right things in order to live in freedom. A lot of what she has to say is contrary to the popular belief that DOING is our purpose in life. She brings the reader back to BEING, from which doing can become much more fruitful and restorative. I recommend this book to anyone who feels that they have been sucked into the lies that frenzy and busy-ness have created in our society. Take some time to read this book slowly - the tendency will be to go through it quickly - but if you take each chapter and soak in the concepts, it will do you a mountain of good.

This book is great! I'm trying to start eliminating trigger foods from my diet, and this book is a great start. It outlines a reasonable schedule for elimination and challenges, and has a great yes/no food chart. It also has good recipes with normal ingredients. However, it would be impossible to live off of these recipes for the whole elimination/challenge process, you will need to find other recipes/get creative to supplement your diet.

This book is a work of art.  It speaks of a return to the ancient Jewish tradition of establishing a Hebrew Burial Society or Chevra Kadisha to bury individuals of the Jewish Faith.  It is a simple act of purifying and washing the body of the deceased, chanting prayers and using a simple plain pine box for a casket and then conveying it to the burial place for interment.  It is very unfortunate that funeral homes through industrial lobbying have had laws enacted whereby one can only legally bury a deceased person by hiring a licensed funeral director.  That required practice by law violates the freedom of religion rights of the Jewish people.  A great book which will become a classic.

The 10-Day Skin Brushing Detox: The easy, natural plan to look great, feel amazing, & eliminate cellulite

Being certified in aromatherapy, having knowledge of the Vodder Lymphatic Drainage Technique and having been in the health field for many years, I can tell you that this book makes perfect sense. Skin brushing itself, brings with it a wealth of benefits and done in the way the author suggests adds greater benefits in the progression of  lymphatic stimulation. The author incorporates the need for adequate hydration and deep breathing as well as appropriate essential oils to make the process spa-lishous! Well done. Highly recommended.

I have spent my life trying to make a home tidy. I am 67 years old so no short amount of time.  This book and this method are FINALLY the answer. I have completed the clothing portion and got rid of many bags of trash and taken a lot to Goodwill.  Very happy with the results. Moving on to the books now.  Can't wait to complete the process.

Very good book! Tidying up is more than just getting rid of stuff, it's about letting go of things that no longer serve us. Many times we cling to things because of the memories. We are not getting rid of the memories, just the stuff. Tidying up is a great book for planning and executing a plan to scale down and let go. It can be quite a daunting task with years of accumulation. This book will be your bible to liberation. Easy read.

If nothing else this is a great book that teaches you how to create more time in your life. Some of the ideas are a bit extreme for some but make complete sense. It's about elimination. It's about creating more time for the things that you want to enjoy and getting the most out of life. It rips apart the status quo and gets at the truth of the matter. People think they have to do things but they choose to do them. How do you want to choose to live your life? You may thing you know but read this book to truely find out! Excellent Read!

This book explains what happens in Canada when a family unit disintegrates, especially when there are children involved.

Justice Brownstone's theory is that when people break up, they must adopt a mature approach of dealing with their former partners, especially when children are involved.  However, he also addresses the topics of finances in a number of chapters, which describe how you can try to resolve your conflicts without going to court.  He has a chapter on alternatives to litigation.  He describes when going to court is necessary.  There are also details about lawyers, what you should look for, and why they are very important in their role.
Especially close to his heart is the chapter on custody and access disputes.  He talks about the importance of joint custody as a concept.

I'm still working through it, still in chapter 12, doing all the exercises, little by little. It takes a long time to do it right, but it's such a good process to purge things that are on the way to have a good life! If you really want to do this well, it's impossible to do one chapter a day - some of the exercises require remembering a good amount of facts and things to be purged. I have reccommended this book to all my friends. Although I'm still on chapter 12, it's amazing how much dots I have connected, how much it has been revelaed to me, how much I'm getting more concious about the patterns in my love life. It has been transformational.

This book really is life-changing.  I am in the midst of the process and though I am a very organized person, I am getting rid of a LOT of stuff. And it feels great.  There is something about this book, though it is not exactly mainstream thought, that has made it easy for me to let go of things I have NEVER been able to let go of before.  I have a long way to go to complete my entire home, but I am excited by the process.  The results are nothing short of amazing.  I even find I "treat" my belongings differently.  I would highly recommend this book!

this book is very important since it explains in detail how electrolysis works versus laser procedure.i spent a lot of money for laser treatment and it did not work well. most of the removed hair came back. i am glad ronni kolotkin wrote this book. her long term experience and success in her business shows that this is the only way for permanent hair removal. i wish there would be more professionals like her in germany as well.

Excellent step by step police procedures  .... As a retired cop......if I hadn't researched further I would have the author had just come out of homicide
