Shan Hai Jing-A Book Covered With Blood: The Story Of Developers Of The Catalog Of Human Population
In essence, this story is about how a certain person was searching his bookshelf for something to read and in the end found a book, which turned out to be the source, from which it is possible to obtain absolutely any kind of information about absolutely any person. Meaning, information to the smallest particulars and details about what his or her qualities of personality are, how he or she lives, what he or she really wants to achieve, what he or she hides, and much more. And, it does not matter, if the subject is some person, who lived in the distant past or lives in the present or someone, who will live in the future. Since, as it turned out later on, this literary monument is nothing other than the Catalog of human population. In other words, the encyclopedia of Homo sapiens; in essence, the same as encyclopedias, reference books for specialists, which contain complete information about representatives of a particular subspecies of animals, plants, etc.Although at some point, the course of this story turned banal: "bad guys" from security services, intelligence services, politics decided to not only use this source of knowledge for their dirty deeds, but also to appropriate it solely for their personal use. And, the way they tried to do this is also banal: by physically destroying the author of discovery of the Catalog of human population and all of his colleagues. However, the ending of this story makes it stand out from the category of ordinary spy stories. At least because the main characters of this story managed to survive not due to favorable concatenation of circumstances or someone's help, but thanks to that knowledge, which they discovered in the ancient text, which turned out to be the Catalog of human population.Of course, such an outcome upset and continues to upset not only the Russian special services, but also all those people in whose way developers of the Catalog of human population got. And, in this civilization, there are countless numbers of such people: from psychologists (who become no longer needed by anyone) to organizers of this civilization themselves. Since from the standpoint of the Catalog of human population-technogenic civilization without a human, which they lovingly built for many centuries, is simply trash, to put it mildly, and beneath all criticism. And, they themselves are also trash.However, regular people, who (thanks to the scientific discovery made by Andrey Davydov) got the source with answers to all of their questions and individual recipes, now no longer need to pay "experts on the human soul" for being shamelessly fooled. Therefore, whoever tries to kill developers of the Catalog of human population in the future must know that it is no longer possible, as they already became part of history of humanity. After all, at the current stage of development, a Homo sapiens has only one possibility to continue to live after death, to live through the ages: in the product that he/she created. And, those, who tried and continue to try to kill them, were nobodies and will remain nobodies, who one day will cease to exist without leaving a trace.As for organizers of this "civilization"-maybe instead of trying to find new recipes to destroy "excess billions" and trying to examine human potential using Neanderthal methods, it would be more reasonable not only to find out the recipe of how to make Homo sapiens a 100% controllable producer and consumer from the source (which, by the way, seems to have been left to humanity by creators of nature and a human on this planet), but also how to build a civilization without quotes? After all, it only seems to them that they are the main deceivers, while in reality they were fooled, and fooled majorly.
Shane's Harmony (with Caleb's Chance, Bonus Novella): Resolution Series, Books 3 and 4
SHANE'S HARMONY Some things you want to forget... Trapped in a nightmare after a college party her freshman year, only sheer determination got Sydney Baldwin through her sophomore year. But the effort of pretending she can lead a normal life in the place the nightmare began has finally proved too much. After her final exams, she packs her belongings, resolved to leave campus life behind forever. She's hoping for a fresh start, and being maid of honor at her best friend's wedding seems like the first step to moving beyond the darkness of her past. Some things you'll never be proud of... Growing up with a drug-addicted single mother taught Shane Dawson that it's the people you love most who hurt you the worst. He made some bad choices as a teenager, but now he's put his self-destructive behavior behind him. He's earning good money working as a tattoo artist at Resolution Ink, alongside his best friend. Still, he's careful to hide his loneliness by pretending to be the happy-go-lucky one of the bunch. People can't hurt you if you keep them at arm's length. Some burdens are easier if they're shared... After meeting the handsome, tattooed best man at her friend's wedding, feelings stir in Sydney she thought were dead forever. She sees through his carefree facade to recognize a kindred sadness, one that stares back at her when she looks in the mirror. The aftermath of betrayal. Shane can't stop thinking about Sydney. Even more than her beauty, it's the haunted look behind her eyes that touches something inside him. The walls he's spent years building around himself threaten to crumble, as Sydney leaves him vulnerable in ways he never expected. Will their tortured pasts pull them into the shadows and ruin their chance at happiness? Or will Shane and Sydney find the courage to reach for the hope of a brighter future together? CALEB'S CHANCE What a cliche, to fall in love with your brother's best friend... Growing up in a small Kentucky town, bright spots in Brenna Malone's childhood are rare. With her mother dealing with crippling depression and a completely disinterested father, Brenna and her brother, Hunter, fend for themselves, with the help of Hunter's best friend, Caleb. Over the years, Brenna and Caleb's feelings for each other blossom from friendship to more, something they both deny out of respect for Hunter. When tragedy takes Hunter from them forever, their only choice is to cling to each other. But as Brenna learned at an early age, the good times rarely last, and her father is capable of turning even the most beautiful things into heartache. Walking away from the one you love is the hardest thing you'll ever do... Six years ago, Caleb Hanson walked away from Brenna Malone, knowing it was the right thing to do, but leaving his heart firmly in her hands. And while his life has moved on, with a career as a successful tattoo artist at Resolution Ink and a solid group of friends who are more like family, he's never overcome his soul-deep loneliness. Intensely private, he's shared the whole truth about Brenna with no one... until the day she shows up without warning at Resolution, and he's given the chance to rediscover the girl he's loved since he was a boy. Love is always a risk... but for Brenna and Caleb the rewards could change their lives... if they're willing to take the chance.

Written by the Qadi (judge) of the Shari'a Court of Jerusalem and former director of the Shari'a Court system in Israel, this book offers a unique perspective on the religious law of Muslim minorities living in the West. Specifically, it explores the fiqh al-aqalliyyat doctrine of religious jurisprudence developed by modern Islamic jurists to resolve the challenges of maintaining cultural and religious identity in majority non-Muslim societies. The author examines possible applications across numerous cultural and geographical contexts, answering such questions as: what are the rules for assuming political and public roles, and should one deposit money that incurs interest? Building on a growing scholarship, this book aims to resolve points of view and facets of religious law that have been neglected by previous studies. Accessibly written, Shari'a in the Modern Era is designed to promote cross-cultural understanding among readers of all faiths.

Western analysts have long denigrated Islamic states as antagonistic, even antithetical, to the rule of law. Mark Fathi Massoud tells a different story: for nearly 150 years, the Somali people have embraced shari'a, commonly translated as Islamic law, in the struggle for national identity and human rights. Lawyers, community leaders, and activists throughout the Horn of Africa have invoked God to oppose colonialism, resist dictators, expel warlords, and to fight for gender equality - all critical steps on the path to the rule of law. Shari'a, Inshallah traces the most dramatic moments of legal change, political collapse, and reconstruction in Somalia and Somaliland. Massoud upends the conventional account of secular legal progress and demonstrates instead how faith in a higher power guides people toward the rule of law.
