Leadership isn't about perfection or authoritative control over someone; if no one wants to follow you, then you aren't a leader. Leadership is a privilege, it's empowering, and most importantly, it is a rewarding honour to watch those you coach, mentor and guide as they grow and develop into the best version of themselves.

One marriage ... a second chance at loveEight years ago their love was instantaneous, all-consuming and intense. Garret Banks had to have Amy Shaw the moment he met her, and no one thought the flame would ever go out.Now, they have everything they've ever wanted: great careers, a beautiful baby, and a rock-solid marriage. Or do they? Garret's high-stress architectural job is taking its toll. Amy's predicaments would be hilarious if they didn't make her want to cry. And to make matters worse, her ex is back in the picture, demanding answers about the wild passion she left behind - answers she isn't willing to give. Garret and Amy grab quick, dirty sex while they can, but in between mommy wars, annoying in-laws, sleep deprivation and fears of betrayal, their marriage is put to the test time and time again. Once they were sure love conquers all, but how far can one marriage bend before it snaps?

The moment I took him to bed, I knew I was in for one wild ride.In the past, I've only known how to do two things: run and start over.Justin has something I long for, I crave. Safety. He makes me feel cherished and believe for the first time in my life happily ever after is possible. He's won me over. He knows my past, and promises me a beautiful future.With a damaged heart so much like mine, I'm drawn to him like a moth to a flame. The connection between us so intense, I risk burning my wings just being near him.With him, I'm ready to embark on new adventures both in and out of the bedroom. But my damn lack of trust keeps rearing its ugly head and making me doubt what I shouldn't. Love takes two hearts to make it work, and my history and his secrets make me question whether he feels as strongly as I do.I don't want to run away from love, but he may leave me no choice. And if I do, there's no turning back.

At twenty-six I've had my fair share of drama. Well, drama is putting it mildly.My past is more checkered than a chessboard.I'm tired of being treated like I'm less than I'm worth. Like I'm dispensable.I want a man who knows what he wants-and that's me.From that very first handshake in the bar, I knew James was going to become an addiction.And like a true addict, the more of him I get, the more of him I need.His proposal of a no-strings, no future, no love arrangement sounds perfect. If he's as good between the sheets as he is at kissing, then sign me up.But before I know it, I'm in too deep and have fallen hard for this older man.However, James has secrets.Demons.His heart is surrounded by a ten-foot wall with barbed wire on top, and a crocodile-filled moat at the bottom.And Prince Charming won't put down his drawbridge to let me in.Fear digs its claws deep, telling me that my own tumultuous history and whatever haunts James are what keeps our happily ever after forever out of reach.

With thirty-five years of clinical experience as a Canadian family physician and a master's degree in bioethics, Barry explores the practice of medicine like a scientist studying a new-found species: Homo sapiens. Using countless anonymized clinical stories, he leads the reader through an exploration not only of the health care system but the human condition as well. Going right back to the big bang, he takes the reader on a search for how we got here, who we are now and where we might be heading as human beings attempting to care for one another in a complex world. Be warned: Barry breaks down a lot of barriers in his investigation of what makes us tick. Expect to be surprised, entertained, and challenged. And be prepared for outside-the-box thinking, where nothing is out of bounds, not even death. All profits of this book are being donated to individuals needing financial assistance to attend addiction rehabilitation facilities.

"Aspasia S. Bissas has achieved writing afresh about an angle of vampirism that sometimes is claimed to be over-written and over-read.... This is not just another book for the pile, or another 'fresh layer of frost' for a snowman-this is abominably good." -Callum Beesley, Vamped.org."It is the rare gem that makes me utterly devour a tome disregarding all other stimuli. Love Lies Bleeding is such a gem." -Andy Boylan, Taliesin Meets the Vampires. What happens when a predator loves its prey? Centuries-old Mara is dying a slow death when she meets Lee, a young man whose life has never belonged to him.

Will she make a devil's deal to save both their souls? With pasts like theirs, can they ever have a future?

Joe is an average Alberta oilfield worker who gets laid off and wonders what he will do next. He begins to question the system and why it is so unfair and starts to learn why. This is not a dramatic story, it is a tell-it-like-it-is, sometimes witty, sometimes angry explanation of his findings. Taking a look at the condition of our lives, we cannot all say with complete honesty that our existence is not full of crap. Crappy attitude, crappy lifestyle, crappy job, crappy outlook... we vent all that on social media ignoring the fact that social media could, and should, be a means of bringing the world closer together. It's our outlook and reactions to moment-to-moment events that shape who we are and how we develop as human beings and over the last couple of centuries, we have become a more miserable, opinionated, self-centred and entitled species who have lost the essential defining property of what it is to be human - humanity. A quality driven out of us by a relentless system that works to separate and control through fear and oppression. It may not be as obvious on the surface but when we look behind the curtain, we see the true face of our demise. Joe's Sh!t Life addresses this concern by offering a blunt and witty eye-opener to this disturbing reality, thoughts on why it happened and ideas on how we can shift our perspective back to the natural order of our true potential. We are all equally worth so much more, we are full of so much more - than crap. Why we chose to bury such value for the empty promise of fulfillment through disparagement of others is the true growing threat in civilization. How do we wipe it clean?

Altars goes beyond the myopic definition of the word and includes in the discourse the created or prevailing atmosphere in a place, home or church and the ingrain character traits a person. How these atmosphere influence the behavior and how to live triumphantly.

And when performed as directed, gives reliable results.Whether you're a seasoned therapist or a person who has never heard of muscle-testing, if you want to do some healing self-treatment in the privacy of your own home, this method will allow you to do just that, by teaching you how to muscle-test yourself accurately, in order for you to locate your negative weaknesses, and apply some simple TFT tapping protocols to strengthen those weaknesses - turning those chronic negative states into positive healthy states, for good."Self-Test Self-Treat" shows you how you can eliminate some of the worst thoughts and feelings of your life, and replace them with the most positive and freeing thoughts and feelings - which you may have often chosen to think and found yourself unable to retain.Once you know how to self-muscle-test accurately, you can use this method along with the TFT protocols provided in the book, to correct all sorts of negative states, as well as the ill-effects of past events that you might otherwise never get around to resolving - those stubborn issues that may not have been bad enough to get you to a therapist, or may not have been resolved by any of the methods you've already tried, and still need to be removed from an otherwise healthy thought field, once and for all. In fact, you can use this technique to clean up your entire thought field, if you like - strengthening yourself, and making yourself healthier and freer, at last.And after you've done that, you can use it for a host of other things too, like: testing your foods and supplements, testing yourself for toxins, correcting negative reactions, calming upset children, and helping others! The ability to self-muscle-test puts you back in the driver's seat and enables you to do healing change work with yourself, in private, until you get the result you actually want. You can do it!

Throughout history, Mexico has been greatly concerned about having a self-sufficient military free from a foreign dependency. This is partly due to Mexico's history, one of recurring invasions and foreign interventions. The Mexican military has established an impressive infrastructure to produce its weaponry to accomplish this. The army currently controls weaponry manufacturing and research; yet, during the last decade, the private sector has started to realize how profitable the defense industry can be. As these private corporations gain popularity, Mexican UAVs, firearms, and armored vehicles are making their way to international markets in Latin America, Asia, and even Europe, where Mexico has the potential to become a major defense and security industry manufactured. The Mexican War Factory showcases Mexico's most successful, innovative, and used firearms, armored vehicles, warships, UAVs, and aircraft built in Mexico and used throughout the 20th and 21st centuries.
