Most people initially had high hopes for health reform. There
clearly are problems that must be fixed. The president had promised
that if reform passed, everyone would be able to get health
insurance, costs would go down, and we would be able to keep both
our doctors and our coverage. And we were told that reform would
even cut the deficit and make Medicare stronger.
But the law that actually passed became a Rube Goldberg
contraption that can't possibly work and that fails to meet its
promises--and it will make many problems worse. Officials say it
will leave at least 23 million people uninsured, it is already
making health insurance more expensive, and it threatens major
changes to the coverage that tens of millions of Americans have
today. Seniors are frightened that its cuts to future Medicare
spending will jeopardize their care, and taxpayers see a flood of
red ink far into the future.
ObamaCare is leaving a comet tail of broken promises as it
steamrolls its way through our economy and into our lives. What
happened? How could there possibly be such a big gap between
promise and reality?
In Why ObamaCare is Wrong for America, the authors--who work for
four different conservative think tanks and have led the fight to
educate the American people about the impact of ObamaCare--explain
exactly what the law stipulates and how the law will affect each of
us: as patients, as employees, as taxpayers, and as citizens. They
also lay out a plan for reforming the law so we can get health care
right. Finally, the authors share concrete steps each of us can
take to put the breaks on ObamaCare.
This easy-to-use tool provides an observation checklist which
enables staff to identify behavioural patterns in children with
social and emotional difficulties, analyse the underlying emotional
difficulties and establish what kind of help and support the
children need. Behavioural responses are categorised within clearly
outlined topics, including: * behaviour and relationship with peers
* attachment behaviours * emotional state in the classroom *
attitude to attendance Checklists and diagrams identify different
'styles' of relating, to help school staff to respond appropriately
to the individual needs of each child. A range of handouts include
activities designed to provide emotional support, to focus and
regulate behaviour and enable the child to develop important social
and emotional skills. Suitable for use with children aged 11+, this
tool will be an invaluable resource for teachers, teaching
assistants, learning support staff, school counsellors and
educational psychologists.
From whirlwind romance to gaslighting campaign: this is truth far
stranger than fiction. When Mary met Will Jordan online, she was a
single mother who'd given up trying to find Mr Right. And yet here
he suddenly was: articulate and attractive, with a fascinating
background. Soon they were in love, and when he proposed after a
month it seemed recklessly romantic. Caught up in a whirlwind, Mary
accepted that Will's work often took him away from home, out of
contact. She was his rock, supporting him emotionally when a
misunderstanding led to criminal charges, and even selling
everything when blackmailers threatened to kidnap their children.
Together, they took on the world. And then one day the phone rang,
and a woman introduced herself as 'the other Mrs Jordan'... In this
raw account of deception on a grand scale, Mary Turner Thomson
recounts what happened after she discovered every word he'd said,
from the very first moment, was a lie. This is her painful,
humiliating truth-but she tells it for one reason: she too was once
a strong, independent woman who would have read all this and
thought It could never happen to me... Revised edition: Previously
published as The Bigamist: the true story of a husband's ultimate
betrayal, this edition of The Bigamist includes editorial
revisions.
In 2006, Mary Turner Thomson's world shattered when she discovered
her husband Will was a bigamist, con man and convicted sex
offender. Unbeknownst to her, this would be the start of a bold new
chapter in her life, fighting to protect other women from his
heartless gaslighting campaigns-and putting a stop to his endless
deception. Mary thought her story would end with the revelation
that Will in fact had several families-and numerous children. But
when she discovered that he had continued to prey on new victims,
she vowed to turn his betrayal into a force for good. On her
mission to protect these women and others, Mary also learned more
about the psychopathy behind Will's duplicitous behaviour. Teaming
up with his newest fiancee in the US, Mary attempts to put an end
to Will's devastating activities. But will she and her fellow
victims succeed in their ultimate goal: to bring down Will Jordan
forever? Mary Turner Thomson began telling her story in her first
book, The Bigamist. Now, in The Psychopath, she delves deeper into
Will's betrayal, telling an entirely new story of how she moved on,
and helped others do the same.
