Book 3: Family The undead rose. Nations collapsed. Some people survived. Three months after escaping from London, Bill discovers the true extent of the global war that followed the outbreak. Most of the world has been destroyed, but though ruined farmland and abandoned cities are filled with zombies, there are other survivors and there is a safe haven, so he is told, in a small village on the Irish coast. When he is told of the sanctuary awaiting them, he also discovers that the scientist who created the virus escaped from New York. In order for any of them to ever truly be safe, Bill will have to discover the truth behind the outbreak and finally choose between his old family and his new one. This is the third volume of his journal. Zombies vs The Living Dead The outbreak began in New York. Within days it had spread throughout the world. Nowhere is safe from the undead. As anarchy and civil war took grip across the globe, Britain was quarantined. The press was nationalised, martial law, curfews and rationing were implemented. It wasn't enough. An evacuation was planned. The inland towns and cities of the United Kingdom were to be evacuated to defensive enclaves being built around the coast, the Scottish Highlands, and in the Irish Republic. For George Tull and the other residents of the Waverly-Price Retirement Home, walking to the coast is not an option. Abandoned by the staff, they wait for rescue. It doesn't come. When George leaves the illusory security of The Home and ventures into the nearby village, he finds it deserted. But he is not alone, his unhappy retirement is broken by the undead. George is left with a terrible choice; stay and fight to save the people he loathes, or leave and abandon the woman he has come to love.

What if you awoke one morning, and it was like waking up into another life as if you had entered the most horrifying dream and were surrounded by people you didn't know but knew you? How would you feel about it, and what would you do? That was the beginning of the terrifying life of Detective David Neal of the Chicago Police Department when he had awakened to find the beginning of the most gut-wrenchingly horrifying murders now occurring in his city anyone had ever heard of, in which the only thing that could help him navigate through that new life was the love of a woman he'd met named Sadie Phillips. As David ran around the car trying to make his way across the street, he slipped on the ice and fell into the melting snow. He must have hit his head on the cold hard ground beneath the snow. "Damn," David said feeling dazed yet scrambling to his feet. Shaking his head, he proceeded to the alley. The woman was still there hanging out of the window screaming and pointing to the ground. "There is a dog down there killing a man" she screamed. "Please help him, please help him somebody, please help him."David didn't see any traces of a dog as he entered the alley. What he did see was the most gruesome sight he'd ever encountered. Blood and pieces of human flesh were everywhere.Never Die On A Cold Night is the first book I've written of a series which I will publish soon. I hope you find the novels as intriguing as it was for me to write them.

Kings live and rule with the certainty that one day their powers and riches will be passed down to a royal successor. King Solomon realized that handing his son the vast wealth and power he had accrued without adequately preparing him for the responsibilities of Kingship would be insufficient. After all, the glorious achievements associated with his reign were not accidental, co-incidental, or the product of luck. These achievements were the product of seeking, studying, learning and applying God's wisdom over a lifetime. The Book of Proverbs was intended to be a central repository of wise leadership principles, to demonstrate the source of every possible achievement: God's wisdom. Are you content with simply passing on money and property to those who follow you, or are you determined to pass down The Source of a royal heritage?Are you a Child of the King of Kings? Then you should already know that Jesus is God's wisdom personified. Use the Book of Proverbs to get to know Him in a deeper way, and to access the True Source of all achievement. WISDOM'S ROYAL HERITAGE is a verse by verse commentary on the Book of Proverbs. Its sole purpose is to replicate Solomon's approach.

Wendell Blackowl ha passato tutta la sua vita gareggiando nelle arene del Working cow, dove lavorare a stretto contatto con cowboy sudati tutto il giorno non poteva che animare i suoi sogni bagnati. Anche se privatamente era venuto a patti con la sua sessualità, pubblicamente, Dell si era dovuto costruire una facciata. Quando la sua amata cavalla, Buttermilk, muore, Dell si ritrova come sospeso, così decide di tirarsi su e di fare ciò che aveva sempre voluto fare... aprire un locale vegetariano, eco friendly. Pace Avila, critico musicale molto conosciuto, è stato trascinato a Austin dai tour della musica dal vivo. Quando alcuni amici lo invitano a provare una nuova esperienza culinaria, seppur riluttante, Pace accetta. Tutto pur di rimandare la scadenza dell'articolo che deve pubblicare su un quotidiano nazionale. Non è interessato al cibo vegetariano, né tantomeno a un locale che si chiama Buttermilk cafè, ma nell'attimo stesso in cui i suoi occhi si posano sul bellissimo cowboy, chef del locale, le cose sembrano prendere un'altra piega. Quando Pace, gay dichiarato, entra nel suo locale e nella sua vita, Dell realizza di essere stanco di vivere nella menzogna, e di stare da solo. Quando Madre Natura decide di gettare una tempesta senza precedenti sulla cittadina di Austin, le acque fangose minacciano di spazzare via tutto ciò per cui Dell ha lavorato così duramente, ma con un uomo come Pace al suo fianco, realizza che l'amore può davvero conquistare tutto.
English novelist, historian and science writer Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) abandoned teaching and launched his literary career with a series of highly successful science-fiction novels. The Time Machine was the first of a number of these imaginative literary inventions. First published in 1895, the novel follows the adventures of a hypothetical Time Traveller who journeys into the future to find that humanity has evolved into two races: the peaceful Eloi - vegetarians who tire easily - and the carnivorous, predatory Morlocks.After narrowly escaping from the Morlocks, the Time Traveller undertakes another journey even further into the future where he finds the earth growing bitterly cold as the heat and energy of the sun wane. Horrified, he returns to the present, but soon departs again on his final journey.While the novel is underpinned with both Darwinian and Marxist theory and offers fascinating food for thought about the world of the future, it also succeeds as an exciting blend of adventure and pseudo-scientific romance. Sure to delight lovers of the fantastic and bizarre, The Time Machine is a book that belongs on the shelf of every science-fiction fan.

"La Stasi usaba a menudo un método que era realmente diabólico. Se llamaba Zersetzung, y se describe en otra pauta. La palabra es difícil de traducir porque significa originalmente "biodegradación". Pero en realidad, es una descripción bastante precisa. El objetivo era destruir secretamente la confianza en sí misma de la gente, por ejemplo dañando su reputación, organizando fracasos en su trabajo y destruyendo sus relaciones personales. Teniendo esto en cuenta, Alemania Oriental era una dictadura muy moderna. La Stasi no intentó arrestar a todos los disidentes. Prefería paralizarlos, y podía hacerlo porque tenía acceso a tanta información personal y a tantas instituciones". Hubertus Knabe, historiador alemán. La historia de Alemania Oriental estuvo estrechamente ligada al desarrollo de sus servicios de seguridad, concretamente de la Stasi. En una época de países totalitarios dominados por agencias estatales represivas, la Stasi se destacaba por su tamaño y por la amplitud y profundidad de su vigilancia. Películas como Das Leben der Anderen ("La vida de los otros") encapsulaban actitudes y concepciones posteriores a la unificación, tanto de la vida en Alemania Oriental como de las actividades de la Stasi. A pesar de su notoriedad, el legado de la Stasi es cuestionado en la Alemania moderna. Los antiguos alemanes occidentales, y los occidentales en general, alinean estrechamente el estado de Alemania Oriental y la Stasi, enmarcando un "estado de la Stasi". Los de la antigua Alemania Oriental, sin embargo, resienten las actitudes condescendientes y la fusión de ambas instituciones, prefiriendo centrarse en los elementos sociales del Estado de Alemania Oriental. Uwe Spiekermann, del Instituto Histórico Alemán, expone sucintamente las impresiones de muchos al considerar la Alemania Oriental y su cultura de vigilancia: "En retrospectiva, la Stasi se ha convertido en un símbolo para la RDA [Alemania Oriental]". El Servicio de Seguridad del Estado de Alemania Oriental, o Staatssicherheitsdienst en alemán (abreviado como Stasi) se fundó en 1950. Se pretendía que fuera el "escudo y la espada" del Estado y vigiló de cerca a gran parte de la población durante los próximos 40 años. Algunas de las cifras son sorprendentes. A finales de los años ochenta, la Stasi tenía archivos de seis millones de habitantes de un total de 18 millones. Cuando se abrieron los archivos de la Stasi en los años 90, se descubrieron archivos que se extendían a lo largo de 178 kilómetros. A lo largo de la existencia de Alemania Oriental, hasta dos millones de personas actuaron como espías, y 90.000 personas trabajaron en el Ministerio, por no hablar de los numerosos informantes "no oficiales". Alemania Oriental también contaba con un temido servicio de inteligencia extranjero de sus servicios de inteligencia, el HV A (Hauptverwaltung A o departamento central), que demostró ser experto en infiltrarse en la sociedad de Alemania Occidental y llevar a cabo operaciones en muchos otros países. Pero, ¿por qué se formó la Stasi y cómo resultó ser tan eficaz? La respuesta a estas preguntas requiere el entendimiento de las circunstancias únicas en las que se formó Alemania Oriental, así como la política en Alemania al final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y el comienzo de la Guerra Fría. La Stasi: Historia y Legado de la Agencia de Policía Secreta de Alemania Oriental examina la historia de una de las agencias más notorias de la historia. Junto con fotos que representan a gente importante, lugares y eventos, usted aprenderá sobre la Stasi como nunca antes.
It is the thesis of this book that John's hybrid Gospel synthesizes many of the leading theological ideas of Paul - most significantly, 1st Corinthians 15 - with the meta-structure of Matthew, combining many of the major features of the Synoptic template with John's unique, extended, explanatory "table talk" section - important pre-resurrectional talk between the apostles and Christ (chapters 13-17). In relation to Matthew's Gospel, Luke and Mark are parallel accounts which are sometimes complementary. John is a complementary account which is sometimes parallel. This book also attempts to show that 1st John is written shortly after John's Gospel, pushing much further out in support of Paul's controversial thesis concerning the relationship between faith and works, spelled out so forcefully in Romans, and that 2nd John confirms circumstantial evidence surrounding the production of John's Gospel and his first epistle - that John's audience has been the now neglected church of Corinth, and evinces a continuing interdependency between John and Paul. It is also maintained that 3rd John displays considerable evidence that Timothy is in consultation with Paul concerning John's attempt to salvage the church of Corinth and that 2nd Timothy was written in part to assist this project.It is also the thesis of the book that John, an antitype of Caleb, consciously steps into the gap of leadership due to Paul's imprisonment in order to encourage the people of Paul's diocese to abide in Christ. But in so doing, he becomes the catalyst for the theological awakening of Timothy, who is beginning to assume his role as heir to the Pauline Bishopric. This also, in turn, transforms Paul's thinking, and ultimately leads to the argument of Hebrews, which utterly destroys the theological battlements of Judaism, puts to flight the Judaizing party, and blows the trumpet to inaugurate a completely new, independent physical Church and a confident and restful spirituality in Christ which neither the law nor Pauline theology alone could give. Visions do not happen to men who have posted mind guards at every point through which they might enter. As John's work catalyzed Timothy's theology, which results in the writing of Hebrews (see "From Exodus to Eisodus" by the same author); Hebrews, in turn, fed back into the mind of John. Timothy is the first to come upon the rock of the New Covenant which has been laid in Zion in the 31st chapter of Jeremiah: Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel. Timothy then appears to fully open his mind to the typological theology of Matthew, and he is apparently stunned to find that the historiography of Israel can only be understood as a grand parable written for all nations by Christ himself. Under the influence of Timothy's argument in Hebrews, John would have then begun to see something far, far beyond his own comprehension. With renewed awareness of Jeremiah, he begins to understand that Egypt, Sodom and Babylon are themselves typological of death, spiritual seduction and bondage. As John opens his mind to the full implication of these ideas, it is flooded with the Apocalypse. With Paul and possibly with Timothy also dead, the Ephesian diocese of Paul falls to John. The seven letters of the Apocalypse begin with Ephesus.

*Includes pictures *Includes ancient accounts describing Assur and the Assyrians *Includes a bibliography for further reading "All who hear the news of your destruction clap their hands for joy. Did no one escape your endless cruelty?" - Nahum 3:19 In northern Iraq, on the banks of the Tigris River, lie the ruins of the ancient city of Assur. This was the first capital and the most important religious center of the Assyrian Empire. Underneath the cover of sand and soil are almost six meters of dense stratigraphic layers that reveal the passage of millennia. Known today as Qal'at Sherqat, and also as Kilah Shregat, the city dates back to the 3rd millennium BCE. In that time period, the Assyrian army became the largest yet seen, and their warriors were both the greatest and cruelest in the land. They conquered an empire from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean Sea; they despoiled the great city of Babylon, and they enslaved the tribes of Israel. Even the pharaoh of Egypt paid them tribute. No army had ever carried war so far. Indeed, Assur was the heart of one of antiquity's most infamous war machines. When scholars study the history of the ancient Near East, several wars that had extremely brutal consequences (at least by modern standards) often stand out. Forced removal of entire populations, sieges that decimated entire cities, and wanton destruction of property were all tactics used by the various peoples of the ancient Near East against each other, but the Assyrians were the first people to make war a science. When the Assyrians are mentioned, images of war and brutality are among the first that come to mind, despite the fact that their culture prospered for nearly 2,000 years. Like a number of ancient individuals and empires in that region, the negative perception of ancient Assyrian culture was passed down through Biblical accounts, and regardless of the accuracy of the Bible's depiction of certain events, the Assyrians clearly played the role of adversary for the Israelites. Indeed, Assyria (Biblical Shinar) and the Assyrian people played an important role in many books of the Old Testament and are first mentioned in the book of Genesis: "And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel and Erech, and Akkad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. Out of that land went forth Ashur and built Nineveh and the city Rehoboth and Kallah." (Gen. 10:10-11). Although the Biblical accounts of the Assyrians are among the most interesting and are often corroborated with other historical sources, the Assyrians were much more than just the enemies of the Israelites and brutal thugs. A historical survey of ancient Assyrian culture reveals that although they were the supreme warriors of their time, they were also excellent merchants, diplomats, and highly literate people who recorded their history and religious rituals and ideology in great detail. The Assyrians, like their other neighbors in Mesopotamia, were literate and developed their own dialect of the Akkadian language that they used to write tens of thousands of documents in the cuneiform script (Kuhrt 2010, 1:84). Although war played such a central role in Assyrian society, they were also active and prosperous traders, and trade was an essential part of Assur's growth from its earliest stages. Strangely, even during military campaigns, merchants from the city engaged in commercial interactions with the "enemy," for example with the Aramaeans during the campaigns of Adad Nirari II. As opposed to other cities in Mesopotamia, Assur's location meant that it was especially subjected to the influences of its many neighbors in southern Mesopotamia; Anatolia, Syria, the Zagros Mountains, and even from the barbarian tribes north of the Caucasus Mountains. Their presence can be seen today in the architecture and artifacts of the ruined city.
What do you do when you have struggled loyally for years beside your husband, living in financial hardship as you bring up your joint children virtually as a single mother, working toward the good times that you can see coming for all of you, only to discover that your husband is committing adultery and is planning to leave you?Worse, he aggressively denies his affair, denouncing you as crazy to your face and to everyone you know, while he schemes to walk off with everything you have worked so hard for as he is reborn into a new life with a star-struck younger woman, as pretty as you once were, who will enjoy everything you have invested in - your financial security, your home-life and even your children.Worse still, he is a notoriously hard-ball lawyer with every intention of crushing you in any way he can, of erasing you from his life, of reducing you to nothing, so that he can move on as if you never existed.Daniel T. Broderick III's relentless harassment of his discarded wife, Betty, made her increasingly crazy as he and his girlfriend - then second wife - Linda Kolkena Broderick piled on the pressure, until one day, on November 5, 1989, at her wits' end and believing herself to be acting in self-defense, she confronted them in the early hours of the morning and in a panic shot them both dead.A multitude of onlookers has absolved Betty for what she did. Many even admire her, especially if they have suffered similar fates to hers. One juror at her trial openly questioned why she had taken so long to kill Dan under such extreme provocation.Now, twenty-five years into a thirty-two year to life prison sentence for her second-degree murder of Dan and Linda Broderick, Betty has reluctantly decided to give her personal account of what led up to that fatal and fateful day, when all three of their futures came violently and abruptly to an end.
