Located on the banks of the Chattahoochee, Columbus boasts a
historic past that runs as deep as the river itself. But peer
closely into the murkier parts of Columbus's history, and
frightening stories begin to emerge. Join author and ghost hunter
Faith Serafin for a chilling look into Columbus's haunted past.
There's the regal Springer Opera House, where ghosts creep in the
shadows of elaborate balconies. Visit the historic home of Columbus
native and blues legend Ma Rainey, where some say the songstress
can still be seen playing her original piano. Then there's the
Phantom of Eubanks Field, whose ghastly apparition tries to
frighten soldiers at Fort Benning. These terrifying tales, and
more, await in this collection of haunting stories.
Food is complicated. And our relationships with food and eating are all kinds of fucked up. It doesn't help that cultural messages about health, diet, body image, and weight are fatphobic and often medically dangerous.
Dr. Faith Harper, author of the bestselling Unfuck Your Brain and Unfuck Your Body, brings her trademark combination of science, humor, and real talk to help us work through our food, health, and body image issues and develop a healthier relationship with food so that it can fuel us and bring us pleasure.
She delves into the difference between eating disorders and disordered eating and the causes and consequences of both, breaks down the difference between various behaviors, tackles trauma and other co-occurring conditions, and provides compassionate and practical steps to improve your eating habits and repair your relationship with yourself.

People come to the guest house for fresh air and views across the
Atlantic. But if they're lucky, they might just leave with the
second chance they didn't know they needed... Esme has run the
guest house for as long as anyone in Ballycove can remember. But in
her declining years, her sight is failing, and when she has a fall
on the eve of the summer season, she is forced to take a back seat
for the first time in her life. From her chair in the entry hall,
not much passes Esme by. There's Cora, the wife visiting
indefinitely... without her husband; Niamh, the city professional
with a life-changing decision to make; and Phyllie, the grandmother
whose family is slipping away from her. Esme's guests provide the
colour that helps her keep her grip on the world. All of them have
something they want to escape – or to hold on to. But can Esme
help them find their way before the summer is over? From

Irish sea air. It will charm fans of Sheila O'Flanagan, Heidi Swain

"We're going to raise traders just like they raise turtles in
Singapore."
So trading guru Richard Dennis reportedly said to his long-time
friend William Eckhardt nearly 25 years ago. What started as a bet
about whether great traders were born or made became a legendary
trading experiment that, until now, has never been told in its
entirety.
"Way of the Turtle" reveals, for the first time, the reasons for
the success of the secretive trading system used by the group known
as the "Turtles." Top-earning Turtle Curtis Faith lays bare the
entire experiment, explaining how it was possible for Dennis and
Eckhardt to recruit 23 ordinary people from all walks of life and
train them to be extraordinary traders in just two weeks.
Only nineteen years old at the time-the youngest Turtle by
far-Faith traded the largest account, making more than $30 million
in just over four years. He takes you behind the scenes of the
Turtle selection process and behind closed doors where the Turtles
learned the lucrative trading strategies that enabled them to earn
an average return of over 80 percent per year and profits of more
than $100 million. You'll discover How the Turtles made money-the
principles that guided their trading and the step-by-step methods
they followed Why, even though they used the same approach, some
Turtles were more successful than others How to look beyond the
rules as the Turtles implemented them to find core strategies that
work for any tradable market How to apply the Turtle Way to your
own trades-and in your own life Ways to diversify your trading and
limit your exposure to risk
Offering his unique perspective on the experience, Faith
explains why the Turtle Way works in modern markets, and shares
hard-earned wisdom on taking risks, choosing your own path, and
learning from your mistakes.
People are dying, some running, some on their knees, what's going
on? Cars on fire beasts as big as trees, as I have never seen
anything like this. My heart is pounding the ground opens up, and
fire is all I see people are being forced into this pit. I'm trying
to hide, but I'm next to go in the hole. What if you died Tomorrow,
what if the world, as you knew, was ending Have you ever wondered
what happens when you die? Are you one of those people who say
there is no God? Do you even care? Have you ever wondered why bad
things happen to good people? Have you wondered why you struggle so
hard and the crooks have it so easy? In the book olive branch, we
have two couples who struggle with everyday life issues, such as
pornography, cheating, and mental abuse. While trying to live the
stories after the abuse, somehow the bible have come alive. Well,
in the book Olive Branch we explore these questions and more, we
find out how people overcome all things through the grace of God.

Spanning five continents, this cutting-edge book provides a
thorough international overview of equality, diversity and
inclusion at work. Analysing the demographics of the workplace and
the economic outcomes achieved by different segments of the
population, it offers readers a better understanding of diverse
work environments and how they are influenced by legislation and
populations. Grounded in theoretical and legal frameworks and
supported by primary and secondary research, the Research Handbook
highlights which dimensions of diversity and equality at work
should be addressed. Chapters cover topics such as gender
inequality and the underrepresentation of women in managerial
positions, non-discrimination employment legislation, the labour
participation of persons with disabilities and more. Focusing on
previously under-researched countries across the world, from Bosnia
and Herzegovina and Chile to Lebanon, Morocco, Singapore and
several others from the Global South, this Research Handbook offers
a fresh perspective on key issues within the workplace. This
Research Handbook will be key reading for academics and graduate
students in management, industrial relations, public policy and
sociology looking to develop their knowledge of equality, diversity
and inclusion in an organisational context and in under-researched
countries. It will also be of great benefit to policy makers and
employers in government, civil society and the private sector who
wish to increase diversity and improve their equality and inclusion
policies and practices in the workplace.

Tatting uses thread to weave intricate patterns in knotwork. This
idiosyncratic novel from 1957 by Faith Compton Mackenzie traces
patterns across the Cornish landscape in the style of David Garnett
and Sylvia Townsend Warner. It is 1909. Ariadne is a starving Irish
artist, existing on her memories of having once known Beardsley and
Wilde. In comes Laura Mallory to visit her, and discreetly goes to
the grocer to buy food and pay Ariadne’s bill. Laura has
recently married Guy, a poetwhom she had met only weeks before.
Relieved to not have to pay rent for the summer or have to finally
learn to cook, Guy and Laura travel to Cornwall on the invitation
of Father St John to come and stay at his vicarage. There is a
large Alsatian called Rex who wants only to roam the fields at
night, and there is a large farmer called Mr Williams who hides in
ditches rather than meet the ladies. Miss Josephine Want, a
domineering parishioner, is fuming at the unwanted visitors, and
then Guy and Laura invite Ariadne to Cornwall to paint a fresco and
be fed. The visit of the triumphantly parasitical artist causes
havoc.
