Deadly Intersections by Joseph Wilson Pdf

Twelve years ago, Kirsten Petersen left her troubled past behind her when she moved away from her sleepy hometown of Harmony, Ontario. Now a detective for the Ontario Provincial Police, she is reassigned to Harmony, and her first assignment takes her undercover to a strip club to investigate a shady real estate deal. Her target, Alex McKay, is a slippery local developer who has created a new lakeside neighbourhood, New Eden, with questionable financial backing. When McKay’s accountant is found murdered, Kirsten and her new partner, Sergeant Jane Walden, with the help of a local journalist, discover corruption, government conspiracies, a complex scheme that involves dumping biohazards by the nearby Wyandot First Nation Reserve, and a dangerous stranger who might be behind it all. Together, Kirsten and her team race against the clock to solve the mysteries plaguing their town before the body count gets any higher.

The Deadly Intersections of COVID-19 by Sunera Thobani Pdf

This pioneering book demonstrates the disproportionate impact of state responses to COVID-19 on racially marginalized communities. Written by women and queer people of colour academics and activists, the book analyses pandemic lockdowns, border controls, vaccine trials, income support and access to healthcare across eight countries in North America, Asia, Australasia and Europe, to reveal the inequities within, and between countries. Putting intersectionality and economic justice at the heart of their frameworks, the authors call for collective action to end the pandemic and transform global inequities. Contributing to debates around the effects of COVID-19 – as well as racial capitalism and neoliberal globalization at large – this research is invaluable in informing future policy.

You Bet Your Life: Your Guide to Deadly Risk by Sheila Buff,Joe Buff Pdf

The gritty and granular truth behind the wagers we make with our lives every single day—and, if we’re unlucky, just once in a lifetime. What are your chances of living through the next 24 hours? This week? This month? This decade? Will your job kill you? Your car kill you? Your spouse kill you? Will your own bad habits kill you? Or will a rogue asteroid just kill us all? Each time you lay your head on the pillow at night or set your feet on the floor come morning, you bet your life. Exactly what odds do you face 24/7? You Bet Your Life applies to you, the individual, the analytical approach insurance companies use to calculate risk: actuarial science. The result is a comprehensive, encyclopedic, real world assessment of more than 1,000 of the risks we take every day of our all-too-finite lives, from boarding an airplane to tempting a shark attack by dipping a toe in the ocean. You Bet Your Life is introduced by an authoritative essay explaining how professional actuaries calculate risk and how less objective entities—in government, finance, science, technology, and religion—apply their own competing calculi of risk and reward.

Streetfight by Janette Sadik-Khan,Seth Solomonow Pdf

An empowering road map for rethinking, reinvigorating, and redesigning our cities, from a pioneer in the movement for safer, more livable streets As New York City's transportation commissioner, Janette Sadik-Khan managed the seemingly impossible and transformed the streets of one of the world's greatest, toughest cities into dynamic spaces safe for pedestrians and bikers. Her approach was dramatic and effective: Simply painting a part of the street to make it into a plaza or bus lane not only made the street safer, but it also lessened congestion and increased foot traffic, which improved the bottom line of businesses. Real-life experience confirmed that if you know how to read the street, you can make it function better by not totally reconstructing it but by reallocating the space that's already there. Breaking the street into its component parts, Streetfight demonstrates, with step-by-step visuals, how to rewrite the underlying "source code" of a street, with pointers on how to add protected bike paths, improve crosswalk space, and provide visual cues to reduce speeding. Achieving such a radical overhaul wasn't easy, and Streetfight pulls back the curtain on the battles Sadik-Khan won to make her approach work. She includes examples of how this new way to read the streets has already made its way around the world, from pocket parks in Mexico City and Los Angeles to more pedestrian-friendly streets in Auckland and Buenos Aires, and innovative bike-lane designs and plazas in Austin, Indianapolis, and San Francisco. Many are inspired by the changes taking place in New York City and are based on the same techniques. Streetfight deconstructs, reassembles, and reinvents the street, inviting readers to see it in ways they never imagined.

Dangerous Intersections by Jay Dennis,Jim Henry Pdf

The church in the twenty-first century stands at several intersections-theologically, structurally, ideologically, and methodologically. Each faith community must decide its future. Each year, State Farm Insurance publishes the eleven most dangerous traffic intersections in America. Pastors Jay Dennis and Jim Henry have followed suit in Dangerous Intersections-naming the eleven most dangerous intersections for churches to navigate today. Their knowledge and advice is born from a spirit of experience and wisdom. Both men pastor large churches that are making a difference in their communities. They both share similar perspectives on leading a twentieth century church into the twenty-first century and dealing with a thoroughly postmodern twenty-first century paradigm. Dangerous Intersections is relevant to any church in any location seeking to be the body of Christ to the world.

A Legacy of Leadership by Clayton McClure Brooks Pdf

In A Legacy of Leadership, top scholars and journalists create a new framework for understanding the contributions governors have made to defining democracy and shaping American history. Structured chronologically, A Legacy of Leadership places governors in contrast and comparison with one another as well as within the context of their times to show how a century of dramatic developments—war and peace, depression and prosperity—led governors to rethink and expand their positions of leadership. The nine chapters of compelling new scholarship presented here connect the experiences of dynamic individual governors and the evolution of the gubernatorial office to the broader challenges the United States has faced throughout the turbulent twentieth century. Taken together, they demonstrate how interstate cooperation became essential as governors increasingly embraced national and international perspectives to promote their own states' competitiveness. Published for the centennial of the National Governors Association, A Legacy of Leadership is an eloquent demonstration of how, to a great extent, we live in a country that governors created.

The Intersection of Racism & Redemption by Wil Chevalier Pdf

The Intersection of Racism & Redemption powerfully reaffirms the truth of forgiveness and reconciliation as a means of restoring us to one another, because racism, after all, is a matter of the heart.

It is the author's hope that taking a journey with him though his experiences in the Jim Crow South will enlighten you to see through the misconceptions, inherited beliefs, and deep-ceded wounds that are at the root of the moral, social, and spiritual paralysis we know as racism. Open the book and let the author show you how he came to find a supernatural, liberating power and the freedom to think differently about himself and others.

Seeing Yourself in the Mirror of Marriage by James Dubbs Pdf

PLEASE NOTE: The initial printing of this book contains the following glitch. Pages 19 & 20 speak about an exercise involving 5 steps. The steps should read in the sequential order of 1,2,3,4,5 - instead of how the book printed the steps (1,2,1,2,3). Marriage doesn’t create problems, it reveals problems. The problems each spouse bring to a marriage will be the problems of the marriage. Solve yourself and you greatly enhance the odds of enjoying a fulfilling and lasting marriage. Whether a couple is attracted to each other because of looks, or personality, or other factors, it would stand to reason that wedded bliss would be the expected outcome. But that quite often is not the case: Even Captain and Tennille, a pop duo from my younger years, captured the nation’s attention by singing of their committed love in the song, “Love Will Keep Us Together,” yet ended up divorcing after thirty-nine years of marriage. Why did this duo, in addition to a myriad of others, fail in marriage? James Dubbs, who has been involved in ministry for more than fifty years as a youth and family pastor, has in his book uncovered why so many marriages fail. You’re invited to examine yourself to understand how you may be contributing unwittingly to damaging conflict in your relationship. Consider questions such as: • What does it mean, and how does a spouse “solve” oneself? • What conditions can overtake love and doom a marriage? • What part does the hidden power of contempt play in a broken marriage? • What actions must you take in seeking to prevent marital love from turning sour? Whether you’re thinking about getting married, struggling in a marriage, or simply want to do everything you can to ensure your love remains vibrant and strong, this book is steeped with wisdom from the Bible and life experience to help you achieve that end.
