…Ever so slowly, Gloria backed off and then reapplied the pressure of the arm lock, until the definitive click was felt once more. Kansoto had to have felt the click this time. Although, immobilized and defenseless, she was still challenging Gloria, challenging her with her only remaining weapon. If Gloria wanted to win the World's title, then she had to take it. The match became a game of nerve. Kansoto appeared willing to risk a potentially career-ending injury to salvage some sense of honor in her defeat. What was Gloria willing to risk to secure the win?

Fulfilling the Promise by John T. Kneebone,Eugene P. Trani Pdf
Founded in Richmond in 1968, Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) began with a mission to build a university to serve a city emerging from the era of urban crisis--desegregation, white flight, political conflict, and economic decline. The product of the merger of the Medical College of Virginia and the Richmond Professional Institute combined into one, state-mandated institution, the two were able to embrace their mission and work together productively. In Fulfilling the Promise, John Kneebone and Eugene Trani tell the intriguing story of VCU and the context in which the university was forged and eventually thrived. Although VCU's history is necessarily unique, Kneebone and Trani show how the issues shaping it are common to many urban institutions, from engaging with two-party politics in Virginia and African American political leadership in Richmond, to fraught neighborhood relations, the complexities of providing public health care at an academic health center, and an increasingly diverse student body. As a result, Fulfilling the Promise offers far more than a stale institutional saga. Rather, this definitive history of one urban state university illuminates the past and future of American public higher education in the post-1960s era.
This is a true story of how an opportunity can completely change a life. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to buy school supplies for impoverished children in Cambodia. The youngest son of an impoverished rice-farming family in Cambodia, Chamroeun Pen shares his extraordinary story as part of a promise he made with the US Embassy in 2008. It begins with his early life in Cambodia, a country that still bears the scars of the genocide known as the Killing Fields, where most of the educated population was slaughtered between the years 1975 and 1979. This left the younger generation struggling to receive adequate schooling, and the majority of students, including Chamroeun, knew almost nothing about the world beyond their borders. Teachers doled out cruel punishments, there were threats by gang members, along with continual lack of school supplies. Against all odds, Chamroeun was granted an opportunity to study in the US at the age of thirteen. But he had to adapt to the American way of life and overcome adversity as his journey progressed. Torn by problems in his families in both the US and Cambodia, he often wished he could just quit and return home. Yet, his father's dream of having at least one of his eight children finish school propelled him forward. Chamroeun's perseverance is a stirring message of hope. With this book, he wants to encourage youth, not just in Cambodia, but also around the world, to never give up in the pursuit of an education.
Beyond Earth Day by Gaylord Nelson,Susan M. Campbell,Paul A. Wozniak Pdf
Gaylord Nelson’s legacy is known and respected throughout the world. He was a founding father of the modern environmental movement and creator of one of the most influential public awareness campaigns ever undertaken on behalf of global environmental stewardship: Earth Day. Nelson died in 2005, but his message in this book is still timely and urgent, delivered with the same eloquence with which he articulated the nation’s environmental ills throughout the decades. He details the planet’s most critical concerns—from species and habitat losses to global climate change and population growth. In outlining strategies for planetary health, Nelson inspires citizens to reassert environmentalism as a national priority. Included in this reprint is a new preface by Gaylord Nelson’s daughter, Tia Nelson.
Driving Quality in Informatics: Fulfilling the Promise by K.L. Courtney,A. Kuo,O. Shabestari Pdf
Although the data in healthcare comes from and relates to patients, it has generally been the clinician and not the patient who has been seen as the end-user of health information or health information technology. This seems set to change though, as the evolution of new online tools and mobile applications has led to the growth of a grass-roots effort from patients to change their role and involvement in their own health management. This book presents papers from the Information Technology and Communications in Health conference, ITCH 2015, held in Victoria, Canada, in February 2015. The theme of this conference is patient-centered care, and not only were contributors asked to consider the role and voice of the patient, but patients themselves were invited to contribute papers describing their experiences in healthcare and their use of their own data. The papers included here reflect not only informatics innovations in the field, but also explore how to involve patients in the design process, implementation and long-term use of health information systems, and will be of interest to researchers, health practitioners and patients alike.
FULFILLING OUR PART IN GOD'S PROMISES 2Peter 1:1-11 by James Tarter Pdf
2Peter 1:8-11 promises that by increasingly doing verses 5-7, we shall receive great promises: being useful and fruitful in knowing Jesus, never stumbling, and being abundantly supplied the entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Verse 4 adds that we become partakers of the divine nature. Clearly we should understand the meaning and content of this little Scripture.
Dr. Paul K. S Kim believes that the human desire to live a fulfilling life on earth is one of the universal phenomena of all ages. This quest is not, he says, just a dream or fantasy in our mind; it can become a reality. In the Bible, God reveals that no person is born with the fulfilling life but that anyone can reach this life through faith in God. This faith in God is the channel for them to achieve the fulfilling life. As God provides eternal life in Christ, so also in Christ God makes possible the fulfilling life. Paul Kim guides believers to this blessed state-the fulfilling life in Christ. Dr. Paul K.S. Kim, a native of Korea, immigrated to the U.S. in 1967. He served in the U.S. Army and an Army Reserve Chaplain. Kim holds Master degrees from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary from which he received the 2004 Distinguished Alumni Award. He served as the National Alumni President and currently serves as the National Adviser to City Alumni Fellowship. He earned the Doctor of Ministry degree from Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary. He and his wife were the first couple to receive the Alumni Achievement Award. He served as a trustee of the International Mission Board, as State Convention President of the Baptist Convention of New England, and has traveled to over seventy countries. Kim has written Biblical Principles for Church Planting and Practical Church Planting for Growth. Kim lives with his wife, the former Rebekah Lee, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where Kim serves as the founding pastor of Berkland Baptist Church.
A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy by Katherine Harvey Pdf
In recent years, the geopolitical rivalry between Saudi Arabia and Iran has dominated the headlines. Many have charted the polarization between a Saudi-led Sunni camp and an Iranian-led Shia one, assuming that a predominantly Shia state like Iraq would automatically ally with Iran. In this compelling account, Katherine Harvey tells a different story: Iraq's alignment with Iran was not a foregone conclusion. Rather, Saudi efforts to undermine Iran have paradoxically empowered it. Harvey investigates why the Saudis refused to engage with Iraq's post-2003 Shia-led government, despite continual outreach by Iraq's new leaders and considerable pressure from the United States. She finds that certain deeply ingrained assumptions predisposed Saudi leaders to see a Shia-led Iraq as naturally beholden to Iran: the view that Iran is inherently expansionist, and the belief that Arab Shia tend to be loyal to it. This outlook was simplistic, even downright inaccurate; and, in refusing to engage, the Saudis created a self-fulfilling prophecy. As Harvey demonstrates, members of Iraq's new government initially sought to establish a positive relationship with Saudi Arabia, and to pursue a course independent from Iran. But, isolated and rejected by Saudi King Abdullah, Iraq ultimately had nowhere else to turn.
A Treatise on the Law of Negotiable Instruments by John Warwick Daniel Pdf
"Including bills of exchange ; promissory notes ; negotiable bonds and coupons ; checks ; bank notes ; certificates of deposit ; certificates of stock ; bills of credit ; bills of lading ; guaranties ; letters of credit ; and circular notes."--T.p.
In focusing exclusively on the book of Exodus and its constant allusions in the New Testament, this new collection of studies seeks both to increase knowledge of the textual transmission of Exodus in the first century, and to encourage further methodological reflection on the use of Scripture vs. scriptural traditions as employed by ancient authors. First exploring the role of Exodus within Judaism in the Second Temple Period, the contributors then reflect upon the rhetorical impact of Exodus citations and allusions in the New Testament. By taking the reader from the Four Gospels through the Pauline and Disputed Letters and Hebrews, and all the way to Revelation itself, this volume demonstrates both the unity and the diversity of appeals to Exodus traditions in Jewish and Christian literature within the Second Temple Period.
