The Hope of Glory Reflections on the Last Words of Jesus from the Cross
epub | 10.61 MB | English | Jon Meacham | 2020
Description: Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jon Meacham explores the seven last sayings of Jesus as recorded in the Gospels, combining rich historical and theological insights to reflect on the true heart of the Christian story.

A former vestryman of Trinity Church Wall Street and St. Thomas Church Fifth Avenue, Meacham delves into that intersection of faith and history in this meditation on the seven phrases Jesus spoke from the cross.
Beginning with "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do," and ending with "Father, into Thy hands I commend my spirit," Meacham captures for the reader how these words epitomize Jesus's message of love, not hate; grace, not rage; and, instead of vengeance, extraordinary mercy.

Description: A deeply reported look at the rise of home genetic testing and the seismic shock it has had on individual lives You swab your cheek or spit into a vial, then send it away to a lab somewhere.

The Map and the Territory Risk, Human Nature, and the Future of Forecasting (EPUB)
epub | 8.49 MB | English | Alan Greenspan
Description: Like all of us, though few so visibly, Alan Greenspan was forced by the financial crisis of 2008 to question some fundamental assumptions about risk management and economic forecasting. No one with any meaningful role in economic decision making in the world saw beforehand the storm for what it was. How had our models so utterly failed us?
To answer this question, Alan Greenspan embarked on a rigorous and far-reaching multiyear examination of how Homo economicus predicts the economic future, and how it can predict it better. Economic risk is a fact of life in every realm, from home to business to government at all levels. Whether we're conscious of it or not, we make wagers on the future virtually every day, one way or another. Very often, however, we're steering by out-of-date maps, when we're not driven by factors entirely beyond our conscious control.
The Map and the Territory is nothing less than an effort to update our forecasting conceptual grid...

The Privatization of Fraud Investigation Internal Investigations by Fraud Examiners
epub | 4.5 MB | Petter Gottschalk; | 2020
Description: This book discusses privatization of law enforcement in relation to suspected corporate crime and recommends guidelines for successful fraud examinations. There is a growing business for global auditing and local law firms to conduct internal investigations at client organizations when there is suspicion of white-collar misconduct and crime. This book reflects on the work by these private fraud examiners in terms of an evaluation of their investigation reports. The book brings an original theoretical and methodological approach to investigations of white-collar crime. It develops the theory of convenience as an explanation for motive, opportunity, and willingness to commit and conceal white-collar crime. This theory is then related to the case studies. Structured in such a way as to allow the reader to use the text as a nonsequential reference source or guide to a set of connected issues, the book illustrates the practice of privatization by cases and presents guidelines for successful fraud examination. As an investigation can lead to conviction and incarceration, this privatization of crime investigation feeds into the larger issue of privatization of policing.

The Warrior's Meditation The Best Kept Secret in Self Improvement, Cognitive Enhancement, and Stress Relief
epub | 641.93 KB | English | Richard L Haight
Description: Discover the original, instinctive, non-religious form of meditation that has been lost to the world. Richard L Haight, award-winning author of The Unbound Soul and master of four samurai arts, shares the best-kept secret in self-improvement, cognitive development, and stress relief, which he calls the Warrior's Meditation.
For people of all backgrounds, genders, and ages.
To get a picture of the Warrior's Meditation, imagine a battlefield scenario with a single Samurai stands surrounded by multiple opponents. A novice's attention would jump from opponent to opponent in an anxious attempt to defend himself. Such a strategy soon tires the warrior, who will be defeated. An expert warrior will spread his attention evenly in all directions but still experience anxiety as he mentally plans his strategy. His thought and anxiety may be his downfall if his opponents are truly skilled. A master's attention, like the expert's, is spread evenly, but he remains as calm as the surface of a still lake. With no predetermined idea of what his actions might be, his body takes the right action without a single thought.
You may wonder how the Samurai's experience bears any resemblance to your modern life. After all, no armies or assassins seem to be trying to attack you or your town. In one way, we modern people are not so different from the Samurai. With our busy lives, we don't have time to spend hours a day in meditation. Instead, we need a meditation that allo our actions in a high-pressure, fast-paced world to flow from a depth of awareness. The Warrior's Meditation helps you access and express from that depth naturally.
Surprisingly, a significant body scientific research verifies the benefits associated with regular meditation practice. Below are some of the benefits that one is likely to experience through daily meditation:
Boosts health through improved immune function, decreased cellular inflammation and pain.Boosts happiness by increasing positive emotion while decreasing anxiety, depression, and stress.Improves your ability to introspect, which provides a more holistic, grounded life perspective.Improves your social life as it increases emotional intelligence and compassion while reducing feelings of insecurity.Improves your brain by increasing grey matter in areas related to paying attention, positive emotions, emotional regulation, and self-control.Reduces emotional reactivity.Improves memory, creativity and abstract thinking.The Warrior's Meditation is unlike any meditation. This method is flexible in application, which allo it to blend with whatever your day has in store. Through short daily sessions, these benefits will open up to you through your active life. No longer do you need to retreat from life to meditate, for with the Warrior's Meditation, you can bring calm, clear awareness and vibrant life with you wherever you are. Eventually, you will fully embody meditation as a way of being, not just a doing.
Open your eyes to incredible new depths of awareness that help to bring out your greatest inner qualities - begin reading The Warrior's Meditation today!

The Year of Lear Shakespeare in 1606 [True EPUB]
epub | 46.05 MB | James Shapiro
Description: Preeminent Shakespeare scholar James Shapiro sho how the tumultuous events in England in 1606 affected Shakespeare and shaped the three great tragedies he wrote that year-King Lear, Macbeth, and Antony and Cleopatra.
In the years leading up to 1606, since the death of Queen Elizabeth and the arrival in England of her successor, King James of Scotland, Shakespeare's great productivity had ebbed, and it may have seemed to some that his prolific genius was a thing of the past. But that year, at age forty-two, he found his footing again, finishing a play he had begun the previous autumn-King Lear-then writing two other great tragedies, Macbeth and Antony and Cleopatra.
It was a memorable year in England as well-and a grim one, in the aftermath of a terrorist plot conceived by a small group of Catholic gentry that had been uncovered at the last hour. The foiled Gunpowder Plot would have blown up the...
