Your gut is astonishingly clever. It contains millions of neurons - as many as you would find in the brain of a cat - and is home to the microbiome, trillions of microbes that influence your mood, your immune system, and even your appetite.

In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Mosley takes us on a revelatory journey through the gut, showing how junk food and overuse of antibiotics have wiped out many good gut bacteria, leading to a modern plague of allergies, food intolerances, and obesity.

Drawing from the latest cutting-edge research, Dr. Mosley provides scientifically proven ways to control your cravings, boost your mood, and lose weight by encouraging a more diverse microbiome and increasing the good bacteria that keep you healthy.

Packed with delicious, healing recipes, meal plans, checklists, and tips, The Clever Guts Diet includes all the tools you need to transform your gut and your health, for life.

The true story of how a middle-class Black girl from Minneapolis became one of the single biggest threats to the United States banking system.

Tanya Smith fancied herself a folk hero, a kind of Robin Hood, using her powers of persuasion to buck the system and help the poor and needy.

It started innocently enough, with calls to celebrities' houses with her teenage twin sister. Soon, Tanya realised she could convince utility companies to amend the balances of her friends and neighbours, clearing their overdue electricity bills with a single phone call. Eventually, as she tested the limits and realized she could get past any gatekeeper, she began to understand the power of money and what it could do.

Over the years, Tanya 'confiscated' some $40 million in cash and commodities from US banks, using hacked wire transfers. It didn't take long before the FBI was on her tail. But when interviewing her, they made clear that they were using her to get to the person actually running things - clearly, she wasn't smart enough to do this on her own (Black people she was told, rob people, they don't hack computers).

Thus began a cat and mouse game with the authorities that would drive her to unthinkable limits, breaking the hearts of her parents and putting Tanya's life in jeopardy before finally sending her to Federal prison (where she escaped twice) with the longest sentence ever given for a white-collar crime.

Meet Daisy De Melker, who 'lovingly' prepared a flask of strychnine-laced coffee for her son. She is very different from Najwa Petersen, who carefully planned a 'house robbery' to eliminate her musician husband. Chané van Heerden placed her victim's facial skin in the freezer for preservation, yet Phoenix Racing Cloud Theron wished to dispose of her mother's body before it was even cold. And Dina Rodrigues? She 'wouldn't harm a fly' - but then went and organised a hit on a baby.

Women are not paragons of virtue who cannot commit murder. Nor are they always insane when they do deliberately cause death. And the women with 'blood on their hands' are not homogeneous.

In Blood on Her Hands, award-winning journalist Tanya Farber investigates the lives, minds and motivations of some of South Africa's most notorious female murders, from the poisonous nurse Daisy de Melker, to the privileged but deeply disturbed Najwa Petersen, to the mysterious Joey Haarhoff, who died before revealing the fate of her victims. Written in a style lighter than the subject matter might suggest, Blood on Her Hands will keep you reading until late at night.

Longlisted for the 2018 Scotiabank Giller Prize Winner of the 2019 Indigenous Voices Award for Published Prose in English Fact can be as strange as fiction. It can also be as dark, as violent, as rapturous. In the end, there may be no difference between them. An Inuk girl grows up in Nunavut, Canada, in the 1970s. She knows joy, and friendship, and parents' love. She knows boredom, and listlessness, and bullying. She knows the tedium of the everyday world, and the raw, amoral power of the ice and sky, the seductive energy of the animal world. She knows the ravages of alcohol, and violence at the hands of those she should be able to trust. She sees the spirits that surround her, and the immense power that dwarfs all of us. When she becomes pregnant, she must navigate all this. In this acclaimed debut novel – haunting, brooding, exhilarating, and tender all at once – Tanya Tagaq explores the grittiest features of a small Arctic town and the electrifying proximity of the worlds of animals and of myth.

Tanya Smith fancied herself a folk hero, a kind of Robin Hood, using her powers of persuasion to buck the system and help the poor and needy. It started innocently enough, with calls to celebrities' houses alongside her teenage twin sister. Soon, Tanya Smith realised she could convince utility companies to amend the balances of her friends and neighbours, clearing elderly relatives' overdue electricity bills with a single phone call. Eventually, as she tested the limits and realized she could get past any gatekeeper, this superpower, as she came to think of it, morphed into something else: she wanted access to the actual money herself. By the time she was 18, Tanya had 'confiscated' some $40 million in cash and commodities from US banks, using hacked wire transfers. It didn't take long before the FBI was on her tail. But when interviewing her, they made clear that they were using her to get to the person actually running things - clearly, she wasn't smart enough to do this on her own (Blacks, she was told, rob people, they don't hack computers). Thus began a cat and mouse game with the authorities that would drive her to unthinkable limits, breaking the hearts of her parents, putting Tanya's life in jeopardy, and costing her custody of two children before finally sending her to Federal prison (where she escaped twice) with the longest sentence ever given for a white-collar crime. In the spirit of true crime narratives like Catch Me If You Can, Molly's Game, and Ben Mezrich's Bringing Down the House, SHEER CRAZY NERVE is a gripping caper, but it's also the deeply personal journey of a young Black woman finding her way in a world that underestimated her brilliance. For fans of movies like Hustlers and The Bling Ring, SHEER CRAZY NERVE is a high-stakes, gritty tale of wild financial misdeeds.

Empaths are highly sensitive and feel other people’s energies and emotions as if they were their own. Uniquely intuitive and hyper-perceptive, empaths are also more sensitive to collective energy, the energy of spaces, and in some cases even physical stimuli like noise. Interacting with the world so intimately is a blessing, yet it also means your relationship strategies as an empath—not just regarding romantic love, but in all areas—must be navigated thoughtfully. Romantic partners, friends, coworkers, and family members all present opportunities for uncommonly close connections, though empaths might fall into rescuing, codependency, or people-pleasing as unhealthy relationship coping skills.   Instead, learn to: * More mindfully choose between feeling with others or staying in your own energy and emotions. * Support loved ones from a place of healthy detachment and discernment. * Be more assertive about getting your needs and desires met. * Protect and nourish your sensitive system. * Understand and maximize your intuition. * Nurture your relationships to create more healing intimacy. * Engage with collective energy in an empowered way to be of service and live with more purpose.   Author and professional intuitive Tanya Carroll Richardson has worked with thousands of empath clients from all over the world. Here she presents a guide to relationships of all kinds with empaths and sensitives specifically in mind, complete with quizzes, interactive exercises, and helpful mantras that make this book a valuable resource for connecting with yourself as well as creating more fulfilling interactions with others. 

One day Mia and her mum are walking home to their new house when they find a dolls' house on the side of the road. It looks sad with its broken shutters and peeling paint, but Mia falls in love and takes it home to fix it up. The next morning a little boy is looking at the dolls' house on Mia's porch. Soon more and more children arrive, and they spend the long summer days playing together. Just one child does not join in, and nothing Mia does can persuade him to overcome his shyness. Then, one night, there is a terrible storm and the dolls' house is damaged. Mia learns that kindness can come from the most unexpected places.

Forest Whitaker and Orlando Bloom star in this crime thriller written and directed by Jérôme Salle. When South African policemen Ali Sokhela and Brian Epkeen (Whitaker and Bloom) are tasked to investigate the murder of a young girl who has been brutally beaten to death on a Cape Town beach, they discover that there is far more to the story than they ever could have imagined. As they find themselves digging deeper into the dangerous territory of underground pharmaceutical companies, Ali and Brian, along with their colleague Dan Fletcher (Conrad Kemp), set about trying to take on some of the biggest names in South African crime.

Triple bill of horror movies. 'Hiding' (2012) stars Ana Villafañe as a young woman attempting to begin a new life following the brutal murder of her parents. Taken into the care of a witness protection programme, a new identity is established for Jo (Villafañe) in Montana and she leaves her home in New York and her past life behind. Unfortunately, when a man known as Mr Ostrog (Dean Armstrong) appears and begins to take an interest in her, Jo could be forgiven for thinking that the protection programme has failed to keep her identity safe from the man she is due to testify against. In 'The Victim' (2011) Annie (Jennifer Blanc)'s camping trip with her friend, Mary (Danielle Harris), goes disastrously wrong when Mary is savagely attacked and Annie witnesses her murder. As she flees through the woods from pursuers Harrison (Ryan Honey) and Cooger (Denny Kirkwood), Annie comes across a small cabin inhabited by the loner Kyle (Michael Biehn), but will he help her or hinder her? 'Beneath the Dark' (2010) is a psychological thriller from first-time director Chad Feehan. Driving through the Mojave Desert on their way to the wedding of an old college friend, Paul and Adrienne (Josh Stewart and Jamie-Lynn Sigler) stop for the night at Roy's Motel. Confronted by a surreal atmosphere and their equally strange hosts, Frank and Sandy (Chris Browning and Angela Featherstone), Paul begins to feel uneasy about his new surroundings and wonders what lies in store for them.

Die bundel bevat elf nuutgeskrewe dramas met tieners se smagting na aanvaarding as sentrale tema. Jong volwassenes se soeke na hul eie identiteit is ook van belang. Kanya Viljoen se toneelstuk is die titelstuk van hierdie versameling tekste.

Die tekste wys onder meer hoe tieners as helde en gewilde mense deur hul medemens gesien wil word. Ongelukkig moet daar ook struikelblokke wees wat die reis na volwassenheid bemoeilik. Fanie Viljoen beskryf hierdie drome en smagting as 'n "reis na nêrens" in die eerste drama in hierdie bundel. In "Reënblom" word vertel van die Namamense, wat smag na reën, en weer kan lag en sing omdat 'n kind vir die ouer mense uitkoms gee met water vir almal. Ook in "Is jy al wakker?" is dit die jonger mense wat daarin slaag om die ouer garde uit die groef van hulle verlede te laat losbreek.

Om teen treine te skree, is 'n uitsonderlike bundel vir elke leerder om te besit en aan te wend vir leesgenot, verhoogoptredes en kunswedstryde.

Essays on aspects of early drama, including in this volume a focus on the Towneley plays. Editors: Sarah Carpenter, Pamela M. King, Meg Twycross, Greg Walker. Medieval English Theatre is the premier journal in early theatre studies. Its name belies its wide range of interest: it publishes articles on theatreand pageantry from across the British Isles up to the opening of the London playhouses and the suppression of the civic mystery cycles, and also includes contributions on European and Latin drama, together with analyses of modernsurvivals or equivalents, and of research productions of medieval plays. This volume includes essays on spectatorship, audience reception and records of early drama, especially in Scotland, besides engaging with the current interest in the Towneley Plays and the history of its manuscript.

Published to mark the 400th anniversary of the book's original publication, this facsimile edition faithfully reproduces one of the finest copies held in the British Library collections. The significance of the First Folio cannot be underestimated. It is the only contemporary source of eighteen of Shakespeare's plays. Without it, performances of such popular plays as The Tempest, Twelfth Night and Macbeth would not be possible. Changes and corrections were made during the long printing process. Small alterations were also made to the (now iconic) portrait of Shakespeare created by Martin Droeshout for the title page. As a result, no two surviving copies of the First Folio are identical and few are complete. Of the 750 copies that were originally published, some 200 exist today. The British Library has five copies, one of which is complete, and it is this copy that is presented with an introductory booklet by curators Adrian S Edwards and Tanya Kirk.

In her spare, stark style, Annie Ernaux documents the desires and indignities of a human heart ensnared in an all-consuming passion. Blurring the line between fact and fiction, she attempts to plot the emotional and physical course of her two-year relationship with a married man where every word, event, and person either provides a connection with her beloved or is subject to her cold indifference. With courage and exactitude, Ernaux seeks the truth behind an existence lived, for a time, entirely for someone else.

Koester/Cherish is ? selfkoesterboek vir die voos van hart en siel, vir dié wat besef die lewe kán beter wees sonder ? adrenalien rush en dat koester nodig is vir elke dag se uitdagings. Die boek is tweetalig. Koester is iets waarvan Tanya haarself ontneem het, en om dit weer op die ouderdom van 55 te begin doen, was vreesaanjaend, maar iets wat sy met ope arms verwelkom. En nog ? groter lugtigheid is die teken van jou siel, nie net mooi prentjies maak nie, maar die neersit van die eerlikste sketse ooit wat jou binneste wys. Sulke sketse sal jy in Koester/Cherish vind. Dr ST Potgieter sê in die Voorwoord van hierdie boek: “Dit bring onderdrukte emosies na die oppervlak en help jou daarmee deel. Tanya toon die uitsonderlike begaafdheid om met tekenkuns én woorde ? boodskap aan lesers te bring. Maar nog meer as dit, sy doen dit op ’n besonder kreatiewe wyse deur buite die grense te beweeg van boksies waarin ons elke dag gedruk word. Dit bring raad, praktiese wenke en terapie byeen. Deur die terapie van skryf én inkleur kan jy weer lag, speel, dink, vrede en vryheid kry. In Koester/Cherish is Tanya op haar beste: kreatief, bevrydend, skitterend. Cherish/Koester is a self cherish book for the fragile of heart and soul, for those who realise that to cherish oneself is not a once off adrenaline rush but an everyday exercise. This is a bilingual text Tanya withheld cherish from herself, and to start this very important new approach at the age of 55 is a scary thought, but a life changer that she welcomes with everything she has. The biggest challenge of this book was not to sketch pretty pictures but to put her thoughts on paper in the most honest way possible, sketches which give insight into her life journey, life challenges, life lessons and daily epiphanies According to dr ST Potgieter, a well known psychologist, Colouring brings suppressed emotions to the surface, and helps you deal with them Tanya has the unique ability to combine her art and words to bring her message across She has a creative way of moving away from any of the boxes into which society tries to fit us This creativity brings practical, workable advice and therapy together in the most enjoyable manner Through the therapy of colouring in and writing, one discovers the value of laughter, calm and peace and the freedom of no rules (when picking up a colouring pencil) which brings a bit of relief from every day s woes In Cherish/Koester Tanya is at her very best: creative, liberating, brilliant.
