You know already, that every third, or even every other man shares your problem? But the real question is - do you in fact have an issue like that, or do you just think about it too much? Ejaculation disorders can present themselves in lifelong form, which means they occur from the moment of sexual initiation, or might be acquired, for example as a result of masturbatory activity. Obviously, by masturbating, you seek to a fast unload of the sexual tension and by this you create a physiological mechanism of ejaculation within you. During intercourse you cannot control it, because your organism already remembers a certain behavioral pattern, and does what you tough it to. That's an example of negative training.

Thanks to this guidebook, you are able to correctly diagnose the type of problem you are having... if you actually do have it. If so, you can resolve your premature ejaculation trouble completely anonymously. In most cases it is not necessary to consult a sexologist and the guidelines from this handbook will be enough, to get you to control your ejaculation and consciously prolong the intercourse.

The "Heavenly Citizens" series serves as a tool to help the Christian understand not only what the Bible teaches us, but also how to study the Bible. Explaining what the Bible teaches is like giving someone a fish to eat. Teaching him how to study the Bible is like teaching someone how to fish so he can feed himself. Both approaches are essential to developing spiritual maturity."Matthew" is the seventh volume in the "Heavenly Citizens" series. Matthew, a Jew, was hated as a tax collector for the Roman imperialists. This didn't stop Messiah Jesus from calling Matthew to be one of His disciples and even an apostle! Jesus was good at doing unconventional things like that. In this book we make note of a good many suchlike surprises on Jesus' part. Did you know that Jesus' ancestors included some unsavory sorts? Did you know that the religious bigwigs of Jesus' day considered Him to be of questionable character?Don't miss out on those details and much more. Enter through the front book cover and begin your trek through 1st Century Israel. Roman soldiers line the roads and avenues, fig trees are plentiful, and a gorgeous view of the Sea of Galilee and numerous fishermen make for a relaxing view. Jesus is a fantastic story teller. We know His stories as "parables", and He has not a few to tell in this book. Oh, and interpreting them is exciting too!Before we exit through the back cover though, we will have to pass a hill known as "The Skull" and mourn over three crosses and the outrageous injustice done there. Not to fret though. Three days later a sealed tomb is unsealed, only to discover that a dead body is no longer in it. Truth be told, the dead body is no longer dead! Wow!The approach for "Matthew" and for every volume in the "Heavenly Citizens" series is to teach the student the meaning of Scripture. We also teach him or her how to study the Bible on his/her own. We do this in two ways: we provide a few rules by which to govern our Bible study, and we demonstrate by example how to study the Bible. Experience is an outstanding teacher. We practice in our books the rules for Bible study. By walking through the Bible with us, the reader experiences firsthand what our method of study is like.We believe the student will come out of our studies with both an understanding of the Bible and the ability to truthfully understand the Bible on his/her own. The path lies before you. Walk through the gate and join the journey with us! And may the blessings of the Lord Jesus Christ be yours in abundance.

My closest friend was lost to heart attack years ago. This book describes feelings that accompanied that experience. The demise of the aged is sad but expected. The death of a peer is often a blind side experience. Imagine how much worse that is for the emotionally volatile young who have no life experience to prepare them for the ultimate insult, death of a loved one. This book is certainly not a panacea for grief, it merely tries to explain to a child that life will continue, much differently, but it will continue and it is so important to persevere.

The scariest thing about serial killers is that they are actual people. Tiago Henrique Gomes da Rocha is among Brazil's most prolific serial killers. This is his story. Look at how far a human can go into the depth of heinous crimes.For Brazil, Tiago Henrique Gomes da Rocha is the monster in the deceptive mask, the handsome man with the suave persona that fooled so many. He is a good-looking young man, 6'4" with brown hair and brown eyes, who is considered a decent person by those who know him. Although he was a quiet child, and he kept to himself even in adulthood, he had all the physical qualities that women find attractive. Unfortunately, this fact undoubtedly helped him become the most murderous serial killer the city of Goiânia, in Brazil, had ever known.As a security guard, he was a man trained and paid to protect people. Yet, by the time he was 29, Gomes da Rocha had murdered some 39 people and committed at least 90 armed robberies. His demeanor and lifestyle aroused no suspicions, and his nightmare rampage lasted four years before he was finally caught.His good looks and unassuming personality were not the only reason he got away with his crimes for so long. His murder victims were random; his modus operandi fluctuated between stabbing, shooting, and choking; and his favored outfit made identifying him difficult. Dressed all in black, wearing a black helmet and riding a black motorcycle with stolen license plates, he easily avoided identification, and he never hinted that he could possibly have a dark side to anyone who knew him.Scroll back up and order your copy now!

Inquieta recordar que un paisaje terrorífico muy semejante al que se vivió en Londres el 7 de julio de 2005 apareció descrito hace casi un siglo por Joseph Conrad en El agente secreto. Esto podría significar dos cosas: una, que los artistas se adelantan, a veces fatalmente, a su tiempo, y otra, que la humanidad no avanza, sino da vueltas sobre sí misma, fiel a sus miserias. Al final, lo que Conrad vio en la absurda actividad terrorista fue a una "humanidad siempre tan trágicamente dispuesta a la autodestrucción".

This is an annotated edition of the popular bilingual (English and Japanese) story about the struggles and triumph of a young fisherman in old Japan. This edition includes more than a dozen photographs by noted photographer Levi Sim, showing author and magician Richard Hatch performing the ancient Japanese feat of "Nankin Tamasudare" in which bamboo sticks are manipulated into figures, which inspired the creation of this story. The artwork was inspired by the art of the great Japanese master Hokusai. Richard Hatch, the author, is a professional magician and co-founder of the Hatch Academy of Magic and Music. He includes his telling of this tale, illustrated with the mysterious tamasudare mat, in many performances, often accompanied by his wife, violinist Rosemary Kimura Hatch. András Balogh, the illustrator, is a children's book designer and digital painter living in Székesfehérvár, Hungary. He studied at the Free School of Fine Arts in Kecskemét where he received a strong foundation in the arts, visual creativity and traditional painting. Since 2003 he has been an invited member of the government of Bács Kiskun's country painter camp and is a full member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI). Yukishige Kadoya, the translator from English into Japanese, is a freelance translator and writer based in Nagoya, Japan. He is also a performing magician and a scholar of magic. He often serves as the interpreter for the many major foreign magicians who lecture and perform in Japan. He has written several books, including Tokyo-do Shuppan Publishing's best-selling "Eigo de Pera-Pera Magic (Let's perform magic in English)". Children's Bookwatch, Vol. 23, no. 2 (February 2013): ""Taro-San the Fisherman and the Weeping Willow Tree" is a beautiful, traditionally illustrated, bilingual children's tale written in Japanese and translated into English for children age 8 and up. Taro-San grew up as a boy sitting on a river bank under a weeping willow tree, fishing all day long. He wanted nothing more than to be a professional fisherman. However, when Taro-San is finally able to buy a boat and cast out to sea to fish, his nets come up empty for two weeks in a row! He decides to make a special pilgrimage to a sacred Shinto shrine. When he arrived at the beautiful O-Torii gate to the harbor of the sacred shrine, he enjoyed seeing the beauty of the setting. Taro-San crossed on a bridge to approach a special well, like a wishing well, where he respectfully wrote his wish to become a successful fisherman on a piece of parchment, dropped it into the well, and struck a bell three times to summon his ancestors to hear the request he made of them. A rainbow cheers and heartens him as he leaves the shrine. Soon he meets an old man who is a successful fisherman and asks him for his secrets for success. Here Taro-San discovers he has omitted an important step in his venture: He has not chosen a name for his boat. With the guidance of the old man, Taro-San chooses just the right name and paints it on the boat in Kanji characters. After that, Taro -San is so successful with his fishing that he can barely sail his catch home each day. What was the name he chose, the name that enchanted the fish so they came to the boat willingly to be caught? Of course, it was the Weeping Willow Tree. "Taro-San the Fisherman and the Weeping Willow Tree" is presented in both English and Japanese, beautifully illustrated with a traditional appearing style of delicately tinted paintings by Hungarian artist Andras Balogh. The story of "Taro-San the Fisherman and the Weeping Willow Tree" was inspired by a traditional storytelling art called "Nankin Tamasudare," in which a bamboo mat is used to represent many different figures in the story. For a visually stunning, multi-cultural reading-storytelling experience, "Taro-San the Fisherman and the Weeping Willow Tree" is an exquisite choice for juvenile audiences age 7 and up."

The past is just a heartbeat away.Right from the start she knew it wasn't about love.As the youngest daughter of a wealthy family in medieval England, Lady Jane of Acton has been betrothed to Ged Twyfford, the son of the Earl of Roseworth, since she was a baby. A dynastic marriage such as theirs is about power and property, not love but even so Jane desperately yearns for her husband's approval. But Ged's rare visits to her bed are for the sole purpose of producing an heir, and she's even failed at that.

Mostly in ruins now, the castle is a shell of what it was when he was still a mortal but Ged is determined to make Roseworth his home again. Maybe this is what he's been missing, maybe he needs a place to belong at last.When a woman emerges from the lake beside his castle, looking and sounding a lot like the wife he lost over five centuries ago, Ged assumes she's a witch out to dupe him. But what if she is who she claims to be? Ged finally realizes just what he had, and just how precious to him was the wife he betrayed all those hundreds of years ago. Do they really have a second chance or is it just too late to start over?

*Includes pictures *Chronicles the history of Ephesus and profiles its most famous buildings *Includes footnotes, online resources and a bibliography for further reading *Includes a table of contents "We shall never know what magnificence is, until this imperial city is laid bare to the sun." - Mark Twain "I have set eyes on the wall of lofty Babylon on which is a road for chariots, and the statue of Zeus by the Alpheus, and the hanging gardens, and the colossus of the Sun, and the huge labour of the high pyramids, and the vast tomb of Mausolus; but when I saw the house of Artemis that mounted to the clouds, those other marvels lost their brilliancy, and I said, 'Lo, apart from Olympus, the Sun never looked on aught so grand.'" - Antipater Although it is no longer quite as well remembered as it was thousands of years ago, one of the most important cities in the ancient world was Ephesus, a city that dates back nearly 3,000 years and can lay claim to the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Moreover, while Sparta and Athens were often the centers of power in ancient Greece, Ephesus, located in present-day Turkey on the coast of Ionia, was an instrumental part of the Ionian League, which wielded power for a substantial period of time before the Classical Era. Thanks to its strategic location, Ephesus was an important city no matter who was in control of the region. In fact, while many of its most famous buildings were completed by 500 BCE, the city flourished after it became part of Rome's domains, and the Romans respected the culture so much that they continued letting Ephesus use original coins. In turn, as the Western Roman Empire dissolved and the Eastern Roman Empire and Byzantine Empire maintained control in the area, Ephesus became an important religious center. In addition to a shrine inspired by the Virgin Mary, Ephesus was mentioned repeatedly in the Bible, including in the New Testament's Revelations, and St. Paul even wrote some of the epistles in Ephesus. Ironically, and unfortunately, it was Ephesus' role as an important place for early Christians that ensured the final destruction of its most famous feature: the Temple of Artemis. One of the oldest of the Wonders, construction began under King Croesus around 541 BCE, and it was constructed of marble in place of a previous structure that had been destroyed by a flood. The 3rd century Hellenic African scholar Callimachus of Cyrene believed the older structure had been built by the Amazons, but the original Temple of Artemis actually dated back to the late Greek Bronze Age around 1000 BCE. It may have been the first columned temple of its kind, but the site was not considered a Wonder of the World until after Croesus' version was built. A lot of information about the history of the Temple of Artemis remains unknown. It was built three times in all before its final destruction by the Goths in 262 CE, but the site's history thereafter is unclear before its rediscovery in 1869. It may have been repaired after the 3rd century CE, but this did not prevent it from being pillaged for building materials to construct Christian buildings in Constantinople a couple of centuries later. Early Christians resented the temple because of its cult and following, and stories in the New Testament survive of early saints praying to exorcise it, causing physical destruction, or being forbidden from entering the city due to citizens' fears of damage to the temple. These tales may reflect real-life instances of attempted arson or vandalism. Ancient Ephesus: The History and Legacy of One of Antiquity's Greatest Cities looks at the influential city and the way it flourished for centuries. Along with pictures depicting important people, places, and events, you will learn about Ephesus like never before.

En la vida, pensamos que todas las cosas estarán, esperarán, aparecerán...cuando las necesitemos; de hecho vamos a la cama asumiendo, que al día siguiente nos despertaremos sin inconvenientes...vivos, sanos, radiantes para iniciar la rutina.Perdemos la perspectiva y sacamos nuestros problemas de la realidad; ejemplo, un dolor de muela es agobiante y no trae ciertamente tranquilidad, pero comparado con otra persona herida de bala en un asalto callejero, resulta ser una tontería en cuanto a salud se refiere. Perder unos billetes en algún mal negocio o compra, no debe afligir mucho, cuando sabemos de otros que les desalojan de su hogar por incumplimiento de la hipoteca bancaria; un rayón en la puerta de su apreciado y querido vehículo, molesta, pero otros pierden la vida junto a su flamante automóvil por irresponsabilidad de un conductor ebrio.Ubicar nuestras vidas en tiempo y espacio, nuestros asuntos y dificultades en una dimensión justa y equilibrada, acercarse a todo aquello que racionalmente nos dé alegría y bienestar, alejarse de personas y asuntos que complican o agotan nuestras energías; es parte del camino que nos permitirá existir ajustado a lo real, aquello que ayudará a tomar decisiones y acciones racionales.La clave para superar algunas de las barreras que nos alejan de la felicidad, pasar tiempo haciendo las cosas que nos agradan y menos tiempo en aquellas incómodas, se explica en la dificultad de ver la realidad, irracionalizar nuestra objetividad.Pase a las páginas interiores y descubra la manera, de tomar ese camino para alcanzar su realidad.
