Everyone has secrets. Some of them may kill you. When a Delaware
real estate mogul is murdered, newspaper journalist Brian Wilder
wants the scoop on the killing, including the meaning behind the
mysterious loaf of bread left with the corpse. Reverend Candice
Miller, called to minister to the grieving family, quickly realizes
that the killer has adopted the symbolism of sin eating, a
Victorian-era religious ritual, as a calling card. Is it the work
of a religious fanatic set to punish people for their missteps, or
something even more sinister? As more victims fall, Brian and
Candice follow a trail of deceit and blackmail, hoping to discover
the identity of the killer—and praying that their own sins won't
catch the killer's attention.
In these highly competitive times, there is little room for firms
that are content to remain as they've always been. Global
competition, commoditisation, legal outsourcing and pressure from
clients to cut costs have created a sense of urgency within law
firms to better understand their own businesses. This has
implications for the way law firms view and use their resources,
expertise and human capital. A commitment to innovation opens doors
for law firms to better align themselves with client needs and
encourages the development of new tools and service offerings to
assist with on-going business needs. But what does innovation
really mean in a law firm context? In what ways can an undeniably
traditional industry demonstrate innovation? How do individual law
firms show what innovation means to them? Law Firm Innovation:
Insights and Practice not only answers these questions, but
provides an overview of innovation options and practices in a
changing legal marketplace. This guide offers practical advice for
firms that are looking to become more innovative in the way they
work, and it provides first-hand examples of innovation in practice
within the legal industry. This guide will enable you to: Gain
insight into innovation in the legal market from experts and
practitioners from around the world. Review several practical
frameworks, designed to help law firms introduce innovation as a
core business activity. Learn from case studies on some of the most
innovative legal service providers and the ground-breaking
approaches already being taken. You can use these to benchmark your
innovative approaches. Hear from these authors: Richard Hinwood,

Who Serve Teens A little resilience goes a long way.... Peel back
the cheerful facade that parents present, and you'll find that many
are worried about their teens. Mood swings, impulsiveness, poor
judgment, and other problems peak in these years. Add stressors

demands, and time-consuming athletic commitments . . . and it's no
surprise that today's teenagers rank as the most anxious in 50
years. Parents long to help, but how? Based on a career counseling
kids and their parents, psychologist Michael Bradley locates the
most powerful protective trait: resilience. Teens with this crucial
quality know how to handle difficulty, overcome obstacles, and
bounce back from setbacks. Packed with insights from neuroscience
and psychology, real-life case studies, and a dose of humor,
Crazy-Stressed sheds light on the teen brain and offers a wealth of
resiliency-boosting strategies. In it, Dr. Bradley reveals: What
kids these days are really going through * Ways to strengthen the
seven skills every teen needs to survive and thrive *
What-to-do-when suggestions for common behavior, school, and social
issues * Tactics for coping with conflict, teaching consequences,
improving communication, staying connected, and more It's not easy
being a teen-and it's certainly not easy parenting one. Always
frank and often funny, Crazy-Stressed will become your go-to guide
. . . and your kids may even thank you for it.
New York defense attorney Neil Brewster has everything he's ever
wanted: an expensive Manhattan apartment, a gorgeous fiance, a
forthcoming partnership in his law firm, and a reputation for
winning even the most hopeless cases. His utter ruthlessness and
bullying--both in and out of the courtroom--are legendary, and have
been since his childhood. With a new high profile court case
looming, a camping reunion with his old high school cronies becomes
just the distraction he needs. But Neil's weekend plunges into
disarray when he's confronted with the sins of his past. After
learning about the suicide of the boy he bullied relentlessly as a
teenager, Neil is tormented by ghostly voices and apparitions. His
shrewd mind, whose preeminence has been vital to his success,
begins to crumble as the hauntings become more harrowing and
deadly. Frantic, Neil descends into a frenzied search for answers,
only to discover that things aren't always what they seem.

Michael Bradley, best-selling author of over 20 critically
acclaimed books and a Holy Grail expert who served as a researcher
for "The Da Vinci Code" and National Treasure' movies is in fine
form with "Scripture". He slowly, masterfully builds tension to the
breaking point as he takes us deep into a clandestine world where
nothing is as it seems, a world controlled by dark forces
determined to keep the true origins of the world's major religions
forever concealed from prying eyes. The story: Still nursing wounds
from his last great adventure, Marc Rennsalaer finds his dreams of
a peaceful life are again swept aside as he becomes drawn into a
deadly game pitting his wits, survivalist gadgetry and trusty
Walther PPK against a determined and organised assault. This novel
continues the compelling exploration into secretive religious
organisations and hidden truths that began with "The Magdalene
Mandala".
Falmouth, situated on the beautiful River Fal, and with one of the
finest natural harbours in the world, developed and prospered to
become the base for the famous Packet Service between the
seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. It has a rich maritime
history with many interesting buildings including Arwenack Manor,
home to the infamous Killigrew family, who were responsible for the
early growth of the town. With the arrival of the railway, the town
soon developed a strong commercial interest with the Falmouth
Docks, founded in 1859, closely followed by the growth of tourism
that is still important to the town today. With excellent yachting
facilities, safe bathing beaches and a wealth of attractions, the
town offers a rich experience for its many visitors.
Six respected experts in the field of strength training and athlete
development have come together to create this comprehensive and
user-friendly guide to increasing female athletic performance.
Appropriate for the weekend athlete as well as the elite, this book
is free from the technical jargon that makes many serious training
books unpalatable to the average reader, including an entire
chapter that addresses the common questions that most women have
when entering the weight room or beginning a new sport.
Bradley is back! Michael Bradley, author of the critically
acclaimed 'Swords at Sunset' and other non-fiction books on the
Holy Grail (he was a researcher for The Da Vinci Code movie), has
now written his first novel since the 1970s, when 'Imprint' and
'The Mantouche Factor' together sold more than half-a-million
copies. Now the long fiction drought is over with the release of a
new novel: 'The Magdalene Mandala' draws on Bradley's enviable
reputation as a Holy Grail expert to lend authenticity to a plot
that twists and turns at a rapid pace, bringing together murder and
intrigue, political cover-ups, the Grail...and Mary Magdalene.
Added to this intoxicating literary mix are detailed descriptions
of ingenious low-tech survivalist devices.
'Mowed them down wholesale!' With these words, a judge summed up
the last great punitive massacre of Aboriginal people in Australia.
Coniston, Central Australia, 1928: the murder of an itinerant
prospector at this isolated station by local Warlpiri triggered a
series of police-led expeditions that ranged over vast areas for
two months, as the hunting parties shot down victims by the dozen.
The official death toll, declared by the whitewash federal inquiry
as being all in self-defence, was 31. The real number was certainly
multiples of that. Coniston has never before been fully researched
and recorded; with this book that absence in Australia's history is
now filled. As the last great mass killing in our country's
genocidal past but an event largely unremembered, it reminds us
that, without truth, there can be no reconciliation.
How Toronto FC rescued itself from misery, carved out a niche, and
became a true alternative franchise in North America's most crowded
sports market. From Toronto FC's inception, the club and their fans
did things their own way. When Danny Dichio scored the first goal
in franchise history, fans at BMO Field threw their seat cushions
onto the field in ecstasy. It looked as though TFC had a bright
future ahead of it, but what followed instead was eight seasons of
poor results, mismanagement, and misery. Still, TFC fans never
wavered, building the most unique atmosphere in Toronto sports.
When it seemed TFC was destined to become an afterthought in a city
crowded with teams, the club carved out a niche by creating a
winning culture unlike anything Toronto had ever seen, bringing a
championship to the city in 2017. Come on You Reds takes fans
behind the scenes, from the inception of TFC, through the team's
lowest years, and finally, to the story of how management arguably
built the best team in Major League Soccer history.
This is the final book in Michael Bradley's bestselling trilogy on
Holy Grail adventures in North America from 1398 to 1571,
completing the saga related in Holy Grail Across the Atlantic and
Grail Knights of North America (the author's research skills were
also put to good use in the movie The Da Vinci Code). In "Swords at
Sunset", Bradley draws on evidence from The Book of Mormon, plus
newly discovered artefacts from Lake Memphremagog and the Niagara
region. Bradley offers a convincing argument that communities of
Grail refugees -- who had fled the Inquisition in Europe -- were
established in Niagara and Vermont before being defeated by Native
tribes in 1571. "Swords at Sunset" also examines the origins of man
and the concept of the Holy Grail, offering a new and different
perspective of the Western religious history that has shaped so
much of the entire world's history. The book presents a
thought-provoking interpretation that will astonish and intrigue.
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Altere
Deutsche Literatur, Mediavistik, Note: 1,0, Bergische Universitat
Wuppertal, Veranstaltung: Erich Auerbachs "Mimesis," 9 Quellen im
Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Seit der Zeit der
Kirchenvater wird der Zusammenhang zwischen Altem und Neuem
Testament als Verhaltnis von Verheissung und Erfullung ausgelegt.
Das Geschehen von Ereignissen und das Auftreten von Personen des NT
sollen demnach bereits im AT angekundigt worden sein. Die
Verheissung wird in der christlichen Terminologie mit Typus
bezeichnet, die Erfullung des Angekundigten mit Antitypus. So ist
z. B. Adam der Typus Christi: Adam hatte Teil am Sundenfall und am
Ausgestossenwerden aus dem Paradies; Christus ist dann insofern der
Antitypus des Adam dessen Leben die Geburt Christi verheissen soll
und mit ihm die Erlosung von der menschlichen Erbsunde. Diese Form
der Bibelexegese wird als typologische Interpretation oder auch als
Figuraldeutung bezeichnet. Die figura als Auslegungsverfahren nimmt
zwar ihren Ursprung in der Bibelausdeutung, ist aber nicht auf sie
beschrankt. Gerade im Mittelalter pragte sie die Denkweise der
Menschen. Und so ist sie auch in der profanen mittelalterlichen
Literatur anzutreffen. Diese Arbeit untersucht die halbbiblische
Verwendung der figura am Beispiel eines Philippspruches Walthers
von der Vogelweide. In Kapitel 2 soll zunachst die figura exakt
bestimmt und ein anschliessender Umriss ihrer Verwendungsweise
gegeben werden (2.2). Dazu findet sich in 2.1 eine kurze
etymologische Geschichte des Wortes figura sowie seines
Bedeutungswandels hin zum Gegenstand christlich-mittelalterlicher
Weltdeutung. Kapitel 3 beschaftigt sich mit dem Textmaterial und
gibt eine geschichtliche Einfuhrung, die die das ausgewahlte
Gedicht umrankenden historischen Hintergrunde darstellt (3.1). Im
zweiten Teil des dritten Kapitels schliesslich wird das Gedicht
interpretiert und aufgezeigt wie es sich durch den typologische
