"With uncommon insight, Landon delineates how to deal with and
overcome this spirit, enduing readers with courage to do so. May
king-like champions arise and may the works of the evil one be
destroyed." John Paul Jackson Streams Ministries International
Jezebel is made for war. She is ready to fight. Are you? The spirit
of Jezebel has risen to power in our culture and infiltrated the
Church. Her witchcraft has wreaked mass spiritual carnage through
fear, manipulation, intimidation, and domination carried out by
those who fall under her spell-even those in leadership. Her
wickedness has wounded and scarred countless believers, leaving
them fearful, depressed, defeated, sick, and confused. Because of
Jezebel, some have lost hope and aborted God's call on their lives.
Her assault will continue until all of God's people are dead or
defeated. Jezebel's bloodlust for death and destruction will only
be stopped when met with spiritual violence. God's people must rise
up in the power of the Holy Spirit to expose the spirit of Jezebel
and her evil plans, gain authority, and war against her
victoriously. Jezebel: The Witch Is Back, will: Expose over 40 of
Jezebel's diabolical characteristics and behaviors Reveal familiar
spirits Jezebel has aligned herself with to deceive, kill, and
destroy Identify key weapons and strategies the spirit of Jezebel
uses to war against God's people, and the weapons and strategies we
must use to oppose her Jezebel: The Witch Is Back will equip and
empower you to wage spiritual warfare aggressively, live in
spiritual victory, and experience God's limitless love and joy as
you walk boldly in the call of God on your life. Landon Schott is

Many designers, from jewellers to architects, use folding
techniques to make three-dimensional forms from two-dimensional
sheets of fabric, cardboard, plastic, metal and other materials.
This unique handbook explains key folding techniques, such as
pleated surfaces, curved folding and crumpling. It has been updated
with a new chapter covering some lesser-known techniques,
suggesting yet more creative possibilities. The techniques are
accompanied by clear step-by-step drawings, specially commissioned
photography and ten new instructional videos.
Whilst enterprise technology departments have been steadily
building their information and knowledge management portfolios, the
Internet has generated new sets of tools and capabilities which
provide opportunities and challenges for improving and enriching
knowledge work. This book fills the gap between strategy and
technology by focussing upon the functional capabilities of Web 2.0
in corporate environments and matching these to specific types of
information requirement and behaviour. It takes a resource based
view of the firm: why and how can the knowledge capabilities and
information assets of organisations be better leveraged using Web
2.0 tools?
Identifying the underlying benefits requires the use of frameworks
beyond profitability and cost control. Some of these perspectives
are not in the usual business vocabulary, but when applied,
demonstrate the role that can be played by Web 2.0, how to manage
towards these and how to assess success. Transactive memory
systems, social uncertainty, identity theory, network dynamics,
complexity theory, organisational memory and the demographics of
inter- generational change are not part of normal business parlance
but can be used to clarify Web 2.0 application and potentiality.

This book addresses the social and organisational dynamics which
underlie recent technological and work developments within
organisations. often referred to as 'virtual working'. It seeks to
go beyond a mere description of this new work phenomenon in order
to provide more rigorous ways of analysing and understanding the
issues raised. In addition to providing accounts of developments
such as web-based enterprises and virtual teams, each contributor
focuses on the empolyment of information technology to transcend
the boundaries between and within organisations, and the
consequences this has for social and organisationaL relations.
Between 1991 and 2002, Sierra Leone was wracked by a devastating
civil war and the complete collapse of state institutions. Since
then, however, the UK's contribution to post-war reconstruction has
been widely held up as an example of successful stabilisation and
state-building - particularly of the country's security and justice
institutions. Securing Sierra Leone, 1997-2013 examines how the
process of state-building through security-sector reform developed
in Sierra Leone, and the impact of this experience on international
conceptualisations of such reform as well as on international
interventions more broadly. The study is the most detailed of its
kind, based on a comprehensive analysis of UK engagement in Sierra
Leone between 1997 and 2013, including a host of first-hand
accounts from key local and international actors. This monograph
shows why the UK intervention in Sierra Leone has been a relative
success. However, it also questions the sustainability of
state-building efforts that are driven by concepts of the liberal
state. In Sierra Leone, critical challenges remain, not least in
the combination of a particular vision of what a state should look
like and the unrealistic expectations of progress on the part of
the international community.
Pride in prejudice offers a concise introduction to extreme right
cultures in Britain today, exploring the origins of this complex
movement and the numerous groups and activists that make up
Britain's contemporary extreme right. Showcasing the latest
research, Pride in prejudice demonstrates that the movement has a
long history in Britain. Jackson evaluates successes and failures
in policy responses to the extreme right, and identifies the
on-going risks posed by lone-actor terrorism. In order to tackle
the extreme right, Jackson argues, we must not only make ourselves
aware of the changing ways the movement operates, but we must
understand how the extreme right legitimises its perspectives in
mainstream discourses that can implicitly and explicitly support
its racist and extremist views. -- .

First published in 1999, this is the first of two books based on
papers given at the conference organised by the Centre for Property
Law at Reading in March 1998 under the title 'Contemporary Issues
in Property Law'. Speakers represented jurisdictions from around
the world. Their subjects ranged from the theoretical and
jurisprudential to the severely practical. No one who attended the
conference - or subsequently reads the papers in this and the
following book, Property Law: Current Issues and Debates - can
believe in the picture of property law as archetypical, dry as
dust, black letter, law. Questions of human rights, changes in
social structures, technological developments are all shown to have
their impact on property law, calling for careful analysis of the
present law and practical proposals for reforms to reflect new
developments.

For the first time since the debate on "virtual working" started,
this book addresses the social and organizational dynamics that
underlie the new ways of working. In addition to providing accounts
of developments such as Web-based enterprises and virtual teams,
the book focuses on the issues raised when information technology
is employed to transcend boundaries between and within
organizations. Issues include: managing knowledge and
organizational learning in dispersed networks; understanding how
team roles and processes are affected by virtual working; managing
the innovation process towards virtual forms; and maintaining
commitment and managing culture in virtual work arrangements. The
book offers insights and perspectives on the dynamics presented by
these emerging forms of work, and so could aid in understanding and
managing them.

Introducing techniques for making pop-ups from one sheet of card,
the third title in this series on paper engineering takes folding
techniques into the third dimension. Each chapter introduces a new
technical idea and shows how that technique can be adapted in many
different ways, or combined with techniques from earlier chapters.
These 3-D techniques can be incorporated into any design where
typography and/or illustration are used, including mail-shots,
personal publicity, invitations, business cards and greetings
cards. With their emphasis on surface design over complex cutting,
the pop-ups have an instant appeal for designers. Following the
elegant, easy-to-follow style of Paul Jackson's other titles for
Laurence King, Cut and Fold Techniques for Pop-Up Designs is an
essential resource for marketing professionals and design students.
