“What if the world we’re on is only one thread out of millions of threads in the rope of time?” The question the Outsider woman posed to him left Bardolph as confused as ever. He knew the Outsiders had appeared as if by magic many years before, during his great-grandfather’s reign, but he had never understood where they came from. He only knew they had changed Albion forever. Melissa York might have been grateful to her rescuer, who called himself King of Albion, but she saw no reason to let her gratitude influence her opinion of antiquated notions like monarchy and pagan religions. Let the Druids go back to their forests. She and her people were the best defense Albion had against the invaders. Bardolph knew better. All the people of Albion would need to work together or they would find themselves conquered again. Only this time instead of a Roman emperor, their tribute would be paid to one in faraway China. He only hoped the Outsiders were as clever and as powerful as rumor said they were, because Albion needed all the help it could get.

An immortal warrior. A secret from the grave. And a deadly enemy determined to destroy them both. Maya Bellegarde has spent her entire life searching for a way to break the curse hanging over her and her People, immortal warrior women forced to live in secret on the whim of a vengeful god. When an ancient symbol linked to the Seven Sisters, the progenitors of the People, is found in an unusual grave in a Swedish archaeological dig alongside a cache of rare documents, Maya volunteers to investigate it with James Terhune, a handsome archaic language expert. The attraction between Maya and James burns strong and bright, surprising them both. But when a mysterious thief raids the archaeological site, they must work together in a race against time to translate the documents before the People’s ancient enemy can interfere, threatening the lives of Maya and James’s families. James soon begins to suspect, however, that the secrets of the grave are minor compared to the secrets Maya holds, secrets that could hamper their burgeoning relationship and cripple the work they've undertaken. Can she learn to trust him before their common enemy strikes? Or has time hardened her heart to the love that could save them both and help them uncover the only hope her People have for redemption?

The Healing Power of Restorative Sleep - Learning More about Sleep and Meditation Practices and Introducing Yoga Nidra by Dueep Jyot Singh,John Davidson Pdf
Table of Contents Introduction “Sophrology” and Meditation Techniques Short “Power Naps” The Word Sound of “Om” Positive Determination – Sankalpa The Respiratory Cycle Count Waking up and Stretching The Cat’s Purr… Tips for Preventing Insomnia from Occurring The Benefits of Restorative Sleep and Yoga Nidra Conclusion Check out a few other Mendon Cottage Book Publications! Publisher Introduction This book is going to introduce you to a very interesting subject, especially for all of us who are chronic insomniacs. This is the power of restorative sleep, and you are going to get to know more about ways and means with which you can get your daily 10 hours of sleep every day, and uninterrupted. Along with this, you are going to learn more about yoga Nidra [sleep yoga] which is a technique of visualization as well as profound relaxation, quite similar to a light sleep. So you do not know whether you are sleeping lightly, or just relaxing in deep meditation. This women is practicing the ancient yogic pose of the “corpse.” The palms are touching the ground. It should not be done more than 30 - 45 minutes. Even today, meditation and yogic exercises are not done on a stone floor or a cement floor. They are always done with parts of your body touching mother earth. That is how it is supposed that the natural harmonious wavelengths of the earth and its vibrations can permeate through your being. But we use yoga mats or rugs or carpets on a stone floor. To each his own, especially when we do not want to allow the dew of the grass to give us a chill when we lie down in different relaxation positions on the grass. In olden times, of course, this relaxing was done with your skin bare, and flinging yourself on mother Earth and allowing her to heal you. We being civilized now are more inhibited and would not even think of such a thing, would we? I am not a Hindu. That is why anybody who thinks why my books are about yoga and they are religion concentric has been given some misguided information. The art of yoga existed in the Indian sub-continent 5000 years before the “Hindus” began following the religion of Hinduism. Yoga was practiced by the ancients, who followed a path of right living, which they called “Dharma”, or Faith. These ancients were the indigents, living in the Indian subcontinent who history now calls the Aryans and their books of right living were written in Sanskrit. These books are now revered all over the world, by the Hindus and by other intellectuals, as great founts of knowledge passed down by the wise ones before us.

He took out his pistol from its holster and without warning shot Sean twice in the stomach. Sean could feel his life draining out of him. Zamatev walked towards Sean. He took another drink from the bottle. When it was empty, he threw it into the dense bush. ‘This one is for blowing up my base Sergeant,’ he said and shot Sean again. Sean didn’t feel the bullet; his whole body was so numb that it didn’t signal any pain in his brain. ‘You see Sergeant, I know that it was you and your pig brother who was responsible for demolishing my base, only now I’m the one who is doing the demolishing.’ Zamatev got so carried away that he kept on squeezing the trigger. Mercifully Sean was dead before the clip was empty.
Monstrous Children and Childish Monsters by Markus P.J. Bohlmann,Sean Moreland Pdf
Perhaps because of the wisdom received from our Romantic forbears about the purity of the child, depictions of children as monsters have held a tremendous fascination for film audiences for decades. Numerous social factors have influenced the popularity and longevity of the monster-child trope but its appeal is also rooted in the dual concepts of the child-like (innocent, angelic) and the childish (selfish, mischievous). This collection of fresh essays discusses the representation of monstrous children in popular cinema since the 1950s, with a focus on the relationship between monstrosity and "childness," a term whose implications the contributors explore.
In a sweeping reinterpretation of the history of disfranchisement, Steve Suitts illuminates how a century of political conflicts in Alabama came to shape both some of America’s best achievements in voting rights and its continuing struggles over voter suppression. A War of Sections tells the unknown political history symbolized today by the annual pilgrimage of presidents and celebrities across the Edmund Pettus Bridge. It is the story of how that crucial, tragic day in Selma in 1965 was only the flashpoint of a much longer history of failures and successes involving conflicts not only between blacks and whites in Alabama but between white political factions warring in the state over voting rights. Suitts recasts the context and much of the content of disfranchisement in Alabama as an unremitting, decades-long sectional battle in white-only politics between the state’s rural Black Belt and north Alabama counties. He uncovers important Black and white heroes and villains who collectively shaped the arc of voting rights in Alabama and ultimately across the nation. A War of Sections offers a new understanding of the political dynamics of resistance and change through which a southern state’s long-standing democratic failures ironically provided motivation for and instruction to a reluctant nation regarding unmatched ways to advance universal voting. Along the way, the book introduces from this unheard past some prophetic voices that speak to the paramount issues of America’s commitment to the universal right to vote—then and now.
When Samuele Stocchino is two years old the village sage can already see a heart shaped like a wolf's head beating in his breast: the heart of a murderer. As a colonial soldier in Northern Africa, recruited from one subject land to subdue another, the sixteen-year-old Stocchino learns to kill before he has learned to love, and it is a skill he hones to perfection on the pitiless battlefields of the Corso Front in the Great War. Returning to Sardinia a hero to a pauper's welcome, he finds his family swindled and his sweetheart stolen away by the richest clan in the region, and from one first crime of passion a bitter feud is born. Stocchino terrorizes his wealthy neighbors and anyone who dares to till their land until, with Italy now firmly under Mussolini's boot, his elimination becomes Il Duce's priority. As he continues to elude capture, the seeds of myth are sown and the legend of Samuele Stocchino is forged. Shrouded by mystery and portent, Memory of the Abyss is a stirring fusion of myth, history and fiction, a daring re-imagining of the true story of a notorious Sardinian bandit and a deft excavation of the island's cultural roots by one of Italy's most gifted and celebrated writers.
