A different kind of superhero story... After emerging unscathed from the house fire that killed his father, Ed Stoneman had recurring dreams about rescuing himself as a boy, sitting amongst the flames, unburnt. The dream stopped once he became a firefighter, later earning the nickname of "Dodge" by surviving a lethal flashover fire. Dodge embraced his supernatural imperviousness to the heat of fire by going in when no one should, breaking the rules of rescue because he had to, because he could. With the Wyoming steppe becoming increasingly arid and fires igniting every few days, his 'talent' is needed now more than ever.On his 50th birthday, Dodge dreams of the boy not on fire for the first time in over 30 years. Chalking it up to stress, he thinks nothing of it. With retirement from active fire duty in his near future, he's depressed and aimless. Other than firefighting, what purpose does he have? Twice divorced and childless, believing himself to be infertile in exchange for his superpower of unknown origin, he has no one to confide in but his cat, and he daydreams of walking into a wildfire just to see if he'd finally burn. But when he answers an emergency call about a local house fire, renewed purpose greets him in the flames, making him question everything he once believed.

This book is a compilation of 13 articles about American society. They were written from Dec. 2022 to November 2023 and published on my website. The subject matter is mostly a critical analysis of our modern American society, focusing on technology, social mores, values, Christian faith, being honest and truthful, and thinking for ourselves in the midst of the brainwashed masses.Essentially, this is social commentary from a conservative Protestant Christian who doesn't think technology is helping our society progress overall. Despite the criticism, there is still a strong patriotic theme and a willingness to stick in there and fight it out until the end.

This is a complete guide for those who are interested in starting up their own small lawn care business or for those who have one and want some helpful tips. With eight chapters and many sub chapters, this book deals with this seemingly simple topic holistically and in-depth. My hope is to give readers some helpful tips and guide them along so they can smoothly get a small lawn care business up and running successfully. This will allow them to escape working for someone else while making more money and having more flexibility in their lives. One chapter is devoted to telling you what this business is really like, so interested people can get a feel if it's something they want to pursue. Also, there's a chapter that talks about off-season ideas for work, which may help those who are already working the business too. All-together, this is the culmination of my four years of experience with having three different successful lawn care businesses. The third business I'm still working. Although I'm not an expert at gardening or landscaping, I've been able to replace the "real jobs" out there with something better. If you're interested in starting a small lawn care business, want some help getting it started the right way, and want to make sure you have success, then you can't go wrong with this complete guide for starting your small lawn care business book.

С "Вторжением мутантных медуз" испанский писатель Франсиско Ангуло подписал захватывающую антиутопию, напоминающую великие часы научной фантастики в стиле Жюля Верна. Однако за своим футуристическим фасадом эта работа скрывает философское размышление поразительной глубины.С первых страниц читатель погружается в апокалиптическую вселенную, где вторжение мутантных медуз угрожает самому существованию человечества. По мере развития сюжета эпический размах повествования возрастает по мере усиления таинственности. Откуда взялись эти существа, поднявшиеся со дна океана? Какой смертельный вирус они распространяют?С виртуозным владением саспенсом автор выдает информацию по каплям, обеспечивая захватывающий темп от начала до конца. Каждый новый поворот событий приносит свою долю сюрпризов в этом зловеще продуманном катастрофическом сценарии.Но за лихорадочным аспектом повествования маячит тревожное размышление о судьбе нашей цивилизации. Потому что это вторжение из морских глубин - всего лишь аллегория опасностей, подстерегающих человечество, будь то глобальное потепление, пандемии или саморазрушительное безумие людей.Таким образом, писатель проницательно зондирует величие и ничтожество человеческой природы. Что происходит с нашими ценностями, когда мы прижаты к стене? Способны ли мы пожертвовать личными интересами ради общего блага? Столько головокружительных вопросов, заданных с очаровательной проницательностью.В формальном плане эта антиутопия впечатляет своим повествовательным мастерством. Сюжет построен с восхитительной эффективностью, каждый новый элемент внося свой вклад в безупречно выстроенную драматическую эскалацию.Таинственность, окружающая происхождение мутантных медуз и распространение вируса, раскрывается с выдающимся владением саспенса. Каждое откровение порождает новые вопросы, держа читателя в напряжении до самых последних страниц.Характеристика персонажей не отстает. Их сложные отношения, сотканные из противоречий и контрастирующей лояльности, помогают придать плоть этому человечеству в кризисе. Что касается героев, они демонстрируют одновременно правдоподобную и захватыв

Creating Harmonious Relationships: a Practical Guide to the Power of True Empathy Revised Edition is empowering in a heartfelt way. It teaches the reader how to communicate wisely and effectively with other people. The basic technique is easy to grasp, and it is taught in a step-by step manner. It teaches how to listen in a way that invites the other person to open up and disclose what is really bothering them while also encouraging them to cast what might be their negative complaint into a positive hope. This is the use of "true empathy." It is particularly useful in defusing an argument when emotions are running high. "True empathy" involves first acknowledging the other person's feeling state, as in "Are you upset because...?" This guess shows concern for the other person's feeling state and invites their correction. They might say, "I'm angry at you because you've only been criticizing my idea." Then you guess at what their positive hope might be that is behind their feeling criticized. You might reply, "So you're angry because what you really want is some positive support." Then they will supply what their hope is, in this case probably involving some kind of help. Then their emotional energy is defused. Hopes are a key concept in interpersonal communication. We are all motivated to get our hopes met. Hopes are such things as to be heard and understood, to be accepted. These are connection hopes. We also have freedom hopes such as to express our creativity and to be treated with honesty. Hopes are positive needs that can be met without infringing on someone else. They are at the heart of effective conflict resolution. This method of communicating is the culmination of techniques that have been practiced and refined over many decades. Thousands of people have learned and benefited from the first edition of Creating Harmonious Relationships: a Practical Guide to the Power of True Empathy.The book was sold out and the Revised Edition came out in January 2024.
