＜p＞Pillars of Society is a critical social drama by Henrik Ibsen that explores themes of hypocrisy, social structure, and the corrupting influence of power and wealth. The play focuses on the character of Karsten Bernick, a wealthy and influential shipbuilder in a small Norwegian town, who is regarded as a pillar of society. However, beneath his respectable exterior, Bernick harbors dark secrets, including his past involvement in a financial scandal and his use of deceit to protect his social standing.The plot centers around the return of a figure from Bernick’s past, Johan T?nnesen, who has been living in exile after taking the blame for the scandal that Bernick caused. Johan’s return forces the characters to confront the lies they’ve built their lives upon. As Johan exposes the truth, the stability of Bernick’s carefully constructed world begins to unravel. The play explores the moral compromises people make to uphold their social positions and the psychological toll of living a life built on lies and deception.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Anti-American Terrorism: From Eisenhower to Trump ー A Chronicle of the Threat and Response Volume III ー The Clinton Administration【電子書籍】[ Dennis A Pluchinsky ]

＜p＞A major international security concern that surfaced in the post-World War II period was the emergence and evolution of international terrorism. The dominant theme in the evolution of this threat has been anti-American terrorism. No other country has had its overseas interests subjected to the same level, lethality, diversity, and geographic scope of international terrorist activity as the United States. This five-volume work chronicles the development of this threat through 12 U.S. presidential administrations over a 70-year period. It assesses the terrorist threat in the U.S. and overseas and how the government responded. The expansion of the field of terrorism in academia, think tanks, institutes, and the private sector over this period is also addressed.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Volumes I and II covered the Eisenhower through to the George H.W. Bush administrations. This volume documents the terrorist threat faced by the Clinton administration (1993?2000) and how it responded. It was during this administration that Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda emerged as major terrorism actors and the planning and preparation for the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks took place. The 1993 World Trade Center bombing, 1993 Battle of Mogadishu, 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, 1996 Khobar Towers bombing, 1998 bombings of the U.S. Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, and 2000 bombing of the USS Cole missile destroyer also occurred during this period. Importantly, this book is the first to address in detail a plan ー neglected by the media and suppressed by the U.S. government ー to kill President Clinton during a visit to Manila in November 1996, in which al Qaeda was suspected. Executive orders, presidential decision directives, domestic legislation, international treaties, special counterterrorism units, terrorist renditions, presidential findings, public diplomacy, and counterterrorism actions are also examined.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Contents:＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜ul＞ ＜li＞ ＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞The Internal Threat:＜/strong＞＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜ul＞ ＜li＞Foreign Spillover Terrorism and Foreign Incursion Terrorism＜/li＞ ＜li＞Domestic Terrorism＜/li＞ ＜li＞Right-Wing Terrorism and Extremism, the Unabomber, Etc.＜/li＞ ＜/ul＞ ＜/li＞ ＜li＞ ＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞The Overseas Threat:＜/strong＞＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜ul＞ ＜li＞Left-Wing Terrorism in Western Europe＜/li＞ ＜li＞Left-Wing Terrorist Groups in Latin America, Ethnonational Terrorism, and Anti-American Protests＜/li＞ ＜li＞Palestinian Secular Terrorism, State-Sponsored Terrorism, and Terrorists' Utilization of Suicide＜/li＞ ＜li＞The Overseas Threat: Islamic Revolutionary Terrorism＜/li＞ ＜/ul＞ ＜/li＞ ＜li＞ ＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞The Evolution of Al Qaeda as an Overseas Threat:＜/strong＞＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜ul＞ ＜li＞The Overseas Threat: The Evolution of Al Qaeda ー A Key Decadal Development, Part I＜/li＞ ＜li＞The Overseas Threat: The Evolution of Al Qaeda ー A Key Decadal Development, Part II＜/li＞ ＜li＞The Bojinka Planes Plot＜/li＞ ＜li＞Al Qaeda's Plots against President Clinton＜/li＞ ＜li＞Bombings and Embassy Attacks between 1995 and 1998＜/li＞ ＜li＞Plots and Bombings during the Year 2000＜/li＞ ＜/ul＞ ＜/li＞ ＜li＞ ＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞The Response:＜/strong＞＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜ul＞ ＜li＞Approaches of the President and the National Security Team＜/li＞ ＜li＞Terrorism Rises as a National Security Concern and US Counterterrorism Policy＜/li＞ ＜li＞Offensive Counterterrorism Operations, Executive Orders, and Presidential Decision Directives＜/li＞ ＜li＞Presidential Findings and Memoranda of Notification＜/li＞ ＜li＞National Security Strategy Papers, Domestic Legislation, and International Protocols and Conventions＜/li＞ ＜li＞Government Counterterrorism Units, Part I: The Department of Justice and the FBI＜/li＞ ＜li＞Government Counterterrorism Units, Part II: The State Department and the CIA＜/li＞ ＜li＞Government Counterterrorism Units, Part III: CIA Counterterrorist Center, the National Security Agency and the Department of Defense＜/li＞ ＜li＞Use of Private Contractors and Public Diplomacy＜/li＞ ＜li＞Federal Intelligence and Counterterrorism Budgets＜/li＞ ＜li＞Treatment of Terrorists and the Field of Terrorism Analysis and Studies＜/li＞ ＜li＞Controversial Counterterrorism Actions, Part I＜/li＞ ＜li＞Controversial Counterterrorism Actions, Part II＜/li＞ ＜li＞Threat Assessment and Apportion of Blame for the 9/11 Attacks＜/li＞ ＜li＞Summary: Threats and Responses＜/li＞ ＜li＞Findings and Key Observations＜/li＞ ＜/ul＞ ＜/li＞ ＜li＞ ＜p＞Appendices＜/p＞ ＜/li＞ ＜/ul＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Readership:＜/strong＞ This book is suitable for academics and professionals involved in government, think tanks, the military, policymaking, and law enforcement, as well as a general readership interested in history and terrorism.＜br /＞ 'Dennis Pluchinsky has made a thorough, deep analysis of jihadist terrorism that makes an invaluable contribution to our understanding of al Qaeda. His five-volume study of anti-American terrorism in the U.S. and overseas from the Eisenhower through Trump administrations will be a strong foundation for future historians to build on.' - Peter Bergen Journalist, National Security Analyst for CNN, and Author of The Rise and Fall of Osama bin Laden; Manhunt: The Ten-Year Search for bin Laden from 9/11 to Abbottabad; The Osama bin Laden I Know; and Holy War, Inc.＜/p＞ ＜p＞'As the Assistant Secretary of State for Diplomatic Security from 1998?2002 it was my good fortune to have Mr. Pluchinsky as one of my key advisers on international terrorism. His advice and counsel during that period were invaluable. Painstakingly researched and evaluated, Volume III, like his previous works, precisely demonstrates the challenges of evaluating and piecing together volumes of intelligence and, for the sake of intelligence users, separating out the rumors, improbable schemes, and outright disinformation.' - David G CarpenterFormer Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Diplomatic Security, U.S. Department of State＜/p＞ ＜p＞'Dennis Pluchinsky has produced perhaps the best historical account to date of the early al Qaeda and the Clinton Administration's response to it. Pluchinsky goes the extra mile to verify and investigate events and information, and exercises sound judgment in separating the wheat from the chaff. Readers can rely on this account.' - Cindy StorerJohns Hopkins University and Former Senior Terrorism Analyst, CIA＜/p＞ ＜p＞'Extensive, insightful, and well-researched. I am gratified that Pluchinsky chronicled an important but relatively unknown terrorist attempt on President Clinton in Manila in November 1996. Detecting and extensively investigating this incident is testament to Pluchinsky's research skills. Volume III continues the excellent work Pluchinsky demonstrated in Volumes I and II. It is a valuable contribution to the field of terrorism and a constructive gift to future historians.' - Lewis C MerlettiFormer Director of the United States Secret Service＜/p＞ ＜p＞'Counterterrorism is not as straightforward as the word suggests. The United States cannot simply pursue the opposite of what terrorists do and be successful. In this latest installment of his ambitious five-volume examination of anti-American terrorism, Dennis Pluchinsky takes on the crucial period when 'terrorist' became a household word in the United States after 9/11. A true expert in the field long before this event, Dennis was one of my first mentors. His study of US counterterrorism during the rise of al-Qa'ida and the aftermath of 9/11, arguably one of the most contentious and emotional periods of American history, provides us with a critical opportunity to learn and improve. And if that does not persuade you, only someone committed to the mission rather than proving his point would dedicate all four meticulously studied volumes to the victims of anti-American terrorism. That is public service.' - Gina BennettFormer Analyst, CIA Counterterrorism Center and author of National Security Mom＜/p＞ ＜p＞'Over the course of his career with the Department of State, Dennis Pluchinsky developed a well-deserved reputation within the intelligence and policy worlds for his incisive analysis and dedication to combatting the evolving international terrorism threat. But he was also a steadfast supporter of a multitude of governmental agencies which established counterterrorism training and educational programs for new hires, mid-level, and senior managers working the terrorism issue. His ability to provide practical advice and critically analyze conventional thinking on terrorism, particularly to the flood of new analysts after 9/11, was unparalleled within the Intelligence Community. Not a mere chronicler of current events, his presentations challenged analysts' mindsets and preconceptions, placing terrorist activities in a broader historical perspective. This talent is evident in this highly anticipated work so many years in the making. Anyone teaching a course on terrorism and US national security should have a complete set on his or her bookshelf.' - Dr Mark KauppiFormer Chief of Counterterrorism Training, Defense Intelligence Analysis Center＜/p＞ ＜p＞'Dennis Pluchinsky is one of America's top experts on terrorism and counterterrorism, able to blend the best of the scholarly and practitioner worlds. His expertise not only includes jihadist groups, but also the range of left-wing, ethnonationalist, and other terrorist groups and state sponsors that have long plagued the United States and its allies. Pluchinsky is ideally situated to assess how U.S. counterterrorism has evolved and the challenges which endure.' - Daniel BymanGeorgetown University and former member of the 9/11 Commission and the Joint 9/11 Inquiry staff, House and Senate Intelligence Committees＜/p＞ ＜p＞'Mr Pluchinsky has undertaken an impressive, difficult, and valuable task in writing a five画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Getting It Wrong Debunking the Greatest Myths in American Journalism【電子書籍】[ W. Joseph Campbell ]

＜p＞Many of American journalism’s best-known and most cherished stories are exaggerated, dubious, or apocryphal. They are media-driven myths, and they attribute to the news media and their practitioners far more power and influence than they truly exert. In ＜em＞Getting It Wrong＜/em＞, writer and scholar W. Joseph Campbell confronts and dismantles prominent media-driven myths, describing how they can feed stereotypes, distort understanding about the news media, and deflect blame from policymakers. Campbell debunks the notions that the ＜em＞Washington Post＜/em＞’s Watergate reporting brought down Richard M. Nixon’s corrupt presidency, that Walter Cronkite’s characterization of the Vietnam War in 1968 shifted public opinion against the conflict, and that William Randolph Hearst vowed to “furnish the war” against Spain in 1898. This expanded second edition includes a new preface and new chapters about the first Kennedy-Nixon debate in 1960, the haunting ＜em＞Napalm Girl＜/em＞ photograph of the Vietnam War, and bogus quotations driven by the Internet and social media.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Total Acceptance II Choosing Spirituality over Religion【電子書籍】[ Timothy Victor ]

＜p＞Total Acceptance II: Choosing Spirituality Over Religion is a new approach, to ancient wisdom - combination of Christianity, Tibetan Buddhism, Hatha Yoga, and Raja Yoga, the mental meditative branch of yoga. The concept of total acceptance does not condone inappropriate behavior. It does not encourage you to agree with what you disagree with. It is about connecting, accepting yourself, connecting to your intuition, others, and that which has given us life. Our God, the source of universal unconditional love. It has straight forward useable suggestions to use in your everyday life. It is the sunshine after a storm.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Your awareness is who you are and choosing spirituality over religion is a simple approach to increasing your awareness. This is done by introducing you to topics, that main stream society does not usually talk about. When you increase your awareness, new possibilities occur to you. You experience elevated thoughts and go through a spiritual makeover.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Why does Jesus ask in the new testament of the bible to be born again into a spiritual life? The word spiritual by definition means to connect. There is no intimidation in connecting, no wrath of God. Many of us do need to change and this change can more often come about when we are connected to the true loving nature of our creator. When we are introduced to our true identity. Raja Yoga believes that our true identity is not our nationality or religion or our career. It is that of an angelic soul no matter how flawed we are. Traditional religion tends to harp on our weakness, but spirituality encourages us to change by showing our strength through connecting. When we live an earthly mundane life, we do not live in the light of our angelic soul. Love they neighbor as thy self is Jesus telling us to start expressing love in ways we are not thinking of. A spiritual life is all about expressing love, also discussed in Total Acceptance II.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the concept of total acceptance emphasis is put on channeling love from our loving creator to us, expressing it to each other and back to creator. We are all familiar with Artificial Intelligence (AI). This circle of channeling love is supported by AI. If you Google the question "can humans nourish universal love" you may be surprised to know that the answer is yes! This is a profound endorsement of how our human participation can nourish universal love.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Traditional religion does tend to intimidate. The God of Jesus has unconditional love for us. There are consequences for our actions, known as karma, or universal justice. We learn by reflecting on our actions. There is never punishment as inferred by traditional religion. Total Acceptance II suggests putting the fear of God in us is exactly what we do not need. In Total Acceptance is a Tibetan Buddhism concept called the hero concept. It shares a way to live our lives. The hero in Total Acceptance II is you, the spiritual warrior, teaching you the weapons of understanding and greater awareness to defeat any low self-worth you may encounter in yourself or others. This arms you with unconditional love and a light hearted attitude, teaching you the ten absolute truths of total acceptance to help you judge less while not putting the blame chains on yourself or others. This results in you forgiving yourself and others.＜/p＞ ＜p＞There is also excellent relaxation technique anyone can do to reduce stress and anxiety along with several themed meditations to connect you to your intuition and your angelic soul. There is also a Total Acceptance I e-book which can be found on Amazon titled Choosing The Power of Love Over The Power of Ego. There is a thought provoking definition of ego with a valuable suggestion on how our self-worth is the key to it all. A simple accurate understanding of how ego influence us. The intention of Total Acceptance II is to bring you to a place of having inner peace, elevated self-worth, a sense of belonging, and a feeling of being complete.＜/p＞ ＜p＞About the Author＜/p＞ ＜p＞Author Timothy Victor has studied several belief systems, including those of ancient India, Tibetan Buddhism, raja-yoga, hatha yoga, and Christianity. Total Acceptance is a collage of these systems. After his years of studying, Timothy has reached the conclusion that there is the power of light and the power of darkness. We have a choice to express the power of love (light) or the power of ego (darkness) in our lives.＜br /＞ In spring of 2022, Timothy discovered a raja-yoga retreat in Haines Falls, New YorkーPeace Villageーa place where people are devoted to meditation and purity. Raja-yoga has a theory of the ego being a demon; they give it a name, “Maya.” They also believe we have an angelic, eternal soul.＜br /＞ Sigmund Freud was a pioneer in human behavior. His theory is the ego has a part with no sense of right or wrong. He called it “Id.” This Id is, in theory, a demon. Total Acceptance is written for those who see evil in the world yet want to express love in their life and contribute to the good in the world.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞An ambitious study of our obsession with complicity that shows how we can all become "good accomplices."＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Beyond Complicity＜/em＞ is a fascinating cultural diagnosis that identifies our obsession with complicity as a symptom of a deeply divided society. The questions surrounding what it means to be legally complicit are the same ones we may ask ourselves as we evaluate our own and others' responsibility for inherited and ongoing harms, such as racism, sexism, and climate change: What does it mean that someone "knew" they were contributing to wrongdoing? How much involvement must a person have in order to be complicit? At what point are we obligated to intervene?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Francine Banner ties together pop culture, politics, law, and social movements to provide a framework for thinking about what we know intuitively: that our society is defined by crisis, risk, and the quest to root out hazards at all costs. Engaging with legal cases, historical examples, and contemporary case studies, ＜em＞Beyond Complicity＜/em＞ unfolds the complex role that complicity plays in US law and society today, offering suggestions for how to shift focus away from blame and toward positive, lasting systemic change.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞On ＜em＞Forbes＜/em＞ list of "10 Books To Help You Foster A More Diverse And Inclusive Workplace"＜/strong＞＜br /＞ ＜strong＞How law, policy, and official state rhetoric have fueled the resurgence of Islamophobiaーwith a call to action on how to combat it.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞“I remember the four words that repeatedly scrolled across my mind after the first plane crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City. ‘Please don’t be Muslims, please don’t be Muslims.’ The four words I whispered to myself on 9/11 reverberated through the mind of every Muslim American that day and every day after.… Our fear, and the collective breath or brace for the hateful backlash that ensued, symbolize the existential tightrope that defines Muslim American identity today.”＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞The term “Islamophobia” may be fairly new, but irrational fear and hatred of Islam and Muslims is anything but. Though many speak of Islamophobia’s roots in racism, have we considered how anti-Muslim rhetoric is rooted in our legal system?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Using his unique lens as a critical race theorist and law professor, Khaled A. Beydoun captures the many ways in which law, policy, and official state rhetoric have fueled the frightening resurgence of Islamophobia in the United States. Beydoun charts its long and terrible history, from the plight of enslaved African Muslims in the antebellum South and the laws prohibiting Muslim immigrants from becoming citizens to the ways the war on terror assigns blame for any terrorist act to Islam and the myriad trials Muslim Americans face in the Trump era. He passionately argues that by failing to frame Islamophobia as a system of bigotry endorsed and emboldened by law and carried out by government actors, U.S. society ignores the injury it inflicts on both Muslims and non-Muslims. Through the stories of Muslim Americans who have experienced Islamophobia across various racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic lines, Beydoun shares how U.S. laws shatter lives, whether directly or inadvertently. And with an eye toward benefiting society as a whole, he recommends ways for Muslim Americans and their allies to build coalitions with other groups. Like no book before it, ＜em＞American Islamophobia＜/em＞ offers a robust and genuine portrait of Muslim America then and now.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞A heady, dark-hued Gothic gem of a debut novel: in nineteenth-century Bulgaria, a self-proclaimed vampire slayerーactually, a traveling con artistーjoins forces with a teenage girl to create a monster deadly enough to vanquish their own demons.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞We make monsters in order to destroy them. For thousands of years, we’ve named witches and burned them, suspected demons and exorcised them. When crops die and children fall ill, who better to blame than a monster?＜/p＞ ＜p＞In nineteenth-century Bulgaria,Yana rides from one desolate town to the next, staging grisly displays while the villagers sleep: animal corpses in the public square, eggs filled with blood in the chicken coop. She tells the stricken villagers stories of vampires that stalk the night. Then Yana eliminates the threat, and leaves seeds of hope in her wake.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The village of Koprivici, however, is plagued by exceptional illness and misfortune, its children rarely surviving infancy. There, Yana meets Anka: a headstrong orphan who the villagers blame for their curse. As Anka approaches womanhood, the village Captain is grooming her for marriage against her will. Anka is powerless against himーthat is, until Yana arrives. Together, the orphan and the vampire slayer hatch a plan: to conjure a monster so vile, it might provide cover for Anka to escape. But their plan quickly takes on a horrifying life of its own...＜/p＞ ＜p＞Inspired by Slavic folklore, ＜em＞She Made Herself a Monster＜/em＞concocts a clever mix ofwitchery, ghost stories, heresy, and deception to spin a feminist fable about agency and the power of collective action. It is a haunting and astoundingly cathartic tale of two women who will stop at nothing to take control of their fate.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞Trial by Trust＜/strong＞ is a raw and unapologetic memoir that tears open the stitched-up silence around coercive control, cultural oppression, and the twisted expectations placed on women in tightly wound religious communities. From a childhood marked by violence and guilt-tripping disguised as tradition, I was groomed to serve others before ever understanding myself. I was told what to wear, who to love, how to actーand most dangerously, who I was allowed to be.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But I broke away.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This story traces my journey through stolen girlhood, forbidden love, family betrayals, religious condemnation, and domestic violence that threatened to erase me. At fifteen, I ran away with a man almost twenty years olderーmy sister’s husbandーchasing a love that felt more real than anything I’d ever known. What followed was years of punishment, judgment, loss, and endurance. The family courts. The community whispers. The cold grip of survival.＜/p＞ ＜p＞And yet, ＜em＞Trial by Trust＜/em＞ isn’t just about breaking down. It’s about the slow, fiery resurrection that comes after. It’s about what happens when a woman has nothing left to lose and decides to rise anyway. I became a mother, fought for my sanity, fought for my children, and started rebuilding my life on my own terms. This isn’t a sob story. It’s a story of reclaiming breath, voice, body, and selfーpiece by aching piece.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Every chapter in this memoir burns with the need for changeーfor freedom from systems that blame the victim, that shame female desire, that excuse male violence. I wrote this because I know I’m not alone. I wrote this for the women still in the fire, still silenced, still told to stay small.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Trial by Trust＜/em＞ is my reckoning. It’s my roar in a world that told me to whisper.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞What to Expect in Book Two of ＜em＞Unfaithful Desires＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞A deeper, more intricate web of love, betrayal, and forbidden passion begins to unravel. When Janice discovers that Yolaine is now involved with another man-Aston-she confronts her friend, drawing painful parallels to Yolaine's former entanglement with Glen. That affair nearly destroyed Yolaine's marriage once before, and Janice fears history may be repeating itself. As accusations fly and old wounds are reopened, blame is laid bare. Janice pleads with Yolaine not to lose herself in yet another dangerous affair.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But Yolaine refuses to be swayed-neither by Janice's warnings nor society's judgment. She has lived a life marked by loyalty, commitment, and quiet sacrifice, only to be repaid with heartbreak, betrayal, and a crushing sense of worthlessness. No longer. This time, she chooses desire over duty. She clarifies to Janice that she will not walk away if Aston wants to be with her. She will no longer abandon her happiness to meet the expectations of others.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Yolaine confesses that what happened with Glen was a moment of weakness-a desperate need for comfort when Pierce, her husband, betrayed her trust. Though Pierce made amends and tried to be a better husband and father, it wasn't long before he slipped back into his old ways. And it was then that Yolaine realised she deserved more. A life where she is cared for, valued, and given the time and attention she had been denied for far too long.＜/p＞ ＜p＞She knows how to balance her life with her daughter. And if Pierce could destroy their marriage, take her for granted, and betray her unwavering loyalty after years of devotion, then choosing to live life on her terms is a decision she no longer feels guilty for making.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Janice still wants the best for Yolaine-even if they no longer see eye to eye.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As we delve deeper into the past in Entwined In Time - Part II, the whole story of Yolaine and Glen is laid bare-their forbidden affair, shared desires, and the regrets that haunt them both. Meanwhile, in the present, Desire Untamed - Part II explores Yolaine's consuming connection with Aston-the man torn between his priesthood and his undeniable craving for her. A man who may offer her the love she's always longed for... or break her in a way no one else ever has.＜/p＞ ＜p＞And where does Pierce fit into it all? Will he uncover the truth about her affair? And if he does, what will he do? Will he fight to regain Yolaine and repair the life he so carelessly shattered? Or will his sins and selfishness consume him before he ever has the chance?＜/p＞ ＜p＞In Unfaithful Desires: Book Two, the tension builds, and the stakes have never been higher. Love, lust, and loyalty collide in a battle none can outrun.＜/p＞ ＜p＞One decision. One moment. And everything will change.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The truth is coming-and when it does, it will leave nothing but destruction.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Yolaine looked forward to living boldly and provocatively, embracing life on her terms.

＜p＞＜em＞Hurtful Husband, Harmful Dad: Leaving is Complicated＜/em＞ is a cautionary self-help book which illustrates how it feels to be ensnared in an emotionally abusive relationship. From her own lived experience, author Elle Walks identifies the precursors to emotional abuse and details the complexities of safely escaping with her childrenーas a woman, she could stay with him; but as a mother, leaving was essential. Each informative chapter includes important takeaways, narratives of actual events, and lessons learned.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Readers will witness a woman’s difficult journey from devoted wife to helpless victimーand her ultimate transformation into a powerful advocate for herself and her children. ＜em＞Hurtful Husband, Harmful Dad＜/em＞ provides a first-hand account of the overwhelming feelings of guilt and shame, discovering the cycle of abuse, asking for change, setting boundaries, and weighing the risks of protecting herself and her children while in and out of the marriage.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Elle faced two major battles: first, to shield her children from the abusive parent and an unsupportive family court system, and second, to break free from a partner who wielded significant community influence, wealth, and determination to destroy her. She reveals how it feels to lose your health, question your sanity, and blame yourself while living in a constant fight-or-flight state.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Staying with her husband meant watching her children suffer and condemning them to a lifetime of abuse, first from their dad, and highly likely next from their partner.

She has worked as a sales representative, marketing consultant, marketing manager, university instructor, and engineering professional.＜/p＞ ＜p＞For twenty years, she was tethered to an emotionally abusive husband and compartmentalized her life, switching between being a valued professional and an emotionally abused woman. Her managers and colleagues were unaware of the dark secret she kept and the harsh realities of her home life. For years, she dreamed of escaping but feared for the safety of her children. Later, with her children’s well-being as her highest priority, she divorced and rebuilt her life.

＜p＞The church did not start off wanting to decline. No church planter ever thinks the church they pour their heart and soul into will close. So, what happened? It was a question Desmond Barrett asked walking into his new assignment. There is a stigma that an aging congregation is a dying congregation. If a pastor is asked to go to an aging church and buildings with a host of deferred maintenance, many will run in the other direction. Who would blame them? However, there are pastors who feel the call to serve the comeback church and who see hope in decline. Countless pastors before and since have asked, Is God done with the local church that has seen better days? If not, are you being called to a church that is seen as hopeless, but God sees as hope-filled? To pastors or laypersons in the church, the legacy church needs you. It needs your wisdom and support.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Health Insurance in the United States of America Austrian Perspectives on Interventionism before ObamaCare【電子書籍】[ ?ukasz Jasi?ski ]

＜p＞The U.S. health care system is dominated by private and public (governmental) insurance which makes it difficult for many Americans to imagine access to health care without it. The health care system in the USA is sometimes mistakenly referred to as market-based, partly because of the previous lack of compulsory insurance.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As this book shows, however, even before ObamaCare it was a system heavily influenced by the government. This short and accessible book demonstrates that governmental long-term interventionism in the American health insurance market has led to many contemporary serious problems, such as significant and uncontrolled increases in health care costs, rising health insurance prices, marginalization of direct payments, limited competition, and problems with uninsured Americans. Many observers wrongly blame the market for this state of affairs and demand more regulation, which further deteriorates the situation. The study is divided into two parts: an analysis of the history of interventions (and their effects) in the private health insurance market, and an analysis of the genesis and evolution of governmental Medicare and Medicaid insurance. Thus, the book constitutes a unique synthesis of Austrian theory of interventionism and the history of health insurance in the USA.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book is vital reading for health economists, managers, and policymakers, as well as those interested in the Austrian approach to economics.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Jesus F(orever) N(ow) Christ【電子書籍】[ P?draig Stand?n ]

＜p＞"Jesus F(orever) N(ow) Christ" was first published in the Irish language (Gaelic) by Cl? Iar-Chonnacht in An Spid?al in the West of Ireland as "MacD?, C? H?". Those rhyming words don't translate directly into English except as "Son Of God, Who Is He?". The answer to that question is "Jesus." The added words behind the letters "FN" reflect the sense in which for some people those words constitute an expletive for many people while for much of man-kind they are a blessing. As far as the author is concerns, he has loved Jesus since he was a child gathered around the local schoolmistress with other infants as she regaled them with Bible stories about such happenings as the raising of the widow's son from the dead or the wedding at Cana..
