"Pharmakeia (far-mak-i-ah) Greek: the power of witchcraft/sorcery manifested in drug addiction.
Throughout history drugs were used with the specific intent of accessing the spirit realm. Today, unknown to most, dark spirits continue to patrol the perimeter seeking an entrance to the souls of all who partake of Pharmakeia.
College Freshman Joshua Mitchell's discovery of a shocking family secret creates a tremendous burden. Its weight proves too much for him to bear and the results are absolutely tragic. Meanwhile, his childhood friend, Ashley Wells has begun to feel she is losing a battle of her own, unable to let go of the pain of that fateful night. Both choose to fight past and present demons of addiction by dedicating their seemingly broken lives to helping others.
Behind it all, in the realm of the unseen, the Ruler of Darkness meets with demonic lords to discuss a threat to one of their greatest weapons. "Even as Pharmakeia reigns on many nations, there is an attempt to expose our campaign. We must offer our temptations with the greatest cunning. And remember the best lie is one told softly."

This book explores contemporary issues in respect of causes of action which operate to protect a plaintiff's economic interests. It examines the question from across the spectrum of private law. Focusing mainly on common law principles, it looks in particular at the treatment of such causes of action in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Singapore as well as other common law jurisdictions. Addressing both theoretical and doctrinal issues, this important book will appeal to both private law scholars and practitioners.

As recent developments have shown, supersymmetric quantum field theory and string theory are intimately related, with advances in one area often shedding light on the other. The organising ideas of most of these advances are the notion of duality and the physics of higher dimensional objects or p-branes. The topics covered in the present volume include duality in field theory, in particular in supersymmetric field theory and supergravity, and in string theory. The Seiberg-Witten theory and its recent developments are also covered in detail. A large fraction of the volume is devoted to the current state of the art in M-theory, in particular its underlying superalgebra as well as its connection with superstring and N = 2 strings. The physics of D-branes and its essential role in the beautiful computation of the black hole entropy is also carefully covered. Finally, the last two sets of lectures are devoted to the exciting matrix approach to non-perturbative string theory.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 27th International Conference on Computer Safety, Reliability, and Security, SAFECOMP 2008, held in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, in September 2008.

The 32 revised full papers presented together with 3 keynote papers and a panel session were carefully reviewed and selected from 115 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on software dependability, resilience, fault tolerance, security, safety cases, formal methods, dependability modelling, as well as security and dependability.

"Why is this moment happening in my life and what can I learn from it?" Michelle Douglas asked and answered this question almost every day for ten years, writing down one thing she learned each day from ages twenty-one to thirty-one. In these pages, she shares her experiences and learnings from the adventures that lie ahead for young adults-moving, working, loving, losing, quitting, building, and more, all while attempting to maintain a strong sense of self. Written for anyone just starting out or suddenly starting over, this field guide-part advice book, part journal-will help you discover the very important yet not-so-obvious lessons to be learned in your own life right now. Things like . . . the weakness isn't necessarily where the leak is surround yourself with people who are willing to lift while they climb you can't change the shape of a piece to force it into your puzzle don't go looking for love, go looking for things you love to do it's what you bring to the table, not how long you've been sitting at it Don't Wear Shoes You Can't Walk In equips twentysomethings (and beyond) with powerful tools to enrich their lives and take their next steps forward with confidence.

As people, business, and information cross borders, so too do legal disputes. Globalisation means that courts need to apply principles of private international law with increasing frequency. Thus, as the Law Society of New South Wales recognised in its 2017 report The Future of Law and Innovation in the Profession, knowledge of private international law is increasingly important to legal practice. In particular, it is essential to the modern practice of commercial law. This book considers key issues at the intersection of commercial law and private international law. The authors include judges, academics and practising lawyers, from Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and the United Kingdom. They bring a common law perspective to contemporary problems concerning the key issues in private international law: jurisdiction, choice of law, and recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. The book also addresses issues of evidence and procedure in cross-border litigation, and the impact of recent developments at the Hague Conference on Private International Law, including the Convention on Choice of Court Agreements on common law principles of private international law.

Jesus of Nazareth was condemned, tortured and cruelly killed by the Romans who occupied Judea in the First Century CE. The bodies of crucified victims were routinely thrown into common graves, or left to hang until the vultures and the dogs had done their work. Why is it that many people now believe Jesus was different, that he did not die, that his body was resurrected and taken to a placed called Heaven? Why was the dead body of a criminal permitted to be interred in a Jewish tomb? Why was the body not there a few days later? Was it ever there? Was it stolen and buried elsewhere? Did it survive death and return to life? The Q Fragments is an historical novel that tells what could have happened. The story begins when fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls turn up for sale on the antiquities black market in modern day Jerusalem. When translated, the fragments reveal information about Jesus of Nazareth and his life, and more importantly, that there is a secret about Jesus long hidden in the Israeli desert. A team is formed to unravel the mystery and find the secret. When they do, it will change Christianity forever. The Q Fragments then takes the reader to Judea in the First Century CE to recount the life and fate of the historical Jesus, a man who was not at all the person who is now described in scripture, the Gospels and other Christian writings. The Q Fragments is based on the canonical Gospels, gnostic manuscripts, textual criticism and modern research into the life of the historical Jesus of Nazareth. Through action, characters and dialog it shows how Jesus' life, death and the disappearance of his body could have been the origin of the fantastic and contradictory accounts present in Christian literature today.

Rev 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out; and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is New Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God; and I will write upon him my new name. Rev 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame and am set down with my father in His throne. Every Christian should familiarize themselves with these two scriptures; they are the key to survivability in God's kingdom. Many are struggling, and cannot move forward because they are still chained, and shackled by their past. But, God is saying in the above scriptures, you must live an overcomers' life in order to benefit from His Kingdom. I believe in God, he will do a miraculously work in your life, and turn around every bad situation for His glory as He did in Pastor James life. The adversity you may be facing is what the enemy meant to be thorn in your flesh but God will soon turn it into a rose. Proverbs 24:16 for a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again; but the wicked shall fall into mischief. May God richly bless each and every one of you.
