"The Heaven Maker and Other Gruesome Tales" is Edinburgh born Craig Herbertson's new horror collection. There has been a revival of the old style horror exemplified by the gory Pan Horror collections once commonplace in newsagents and train station kiosks throughout the UK. "The Heaven Maker", published in 1988, was one such story; at last it is once again in print along with some unseemly and dreadful companions.Also on the menu are stand alone excerpts from the critically acclaimed dark fantasy novel, "School: The Seventh Silence", followed by an aperitif of dark songs from Herbertson's extensive traditional repertoire. Bizarre philosophical discussions alternate with episodes of fantasy, horror... and occasional whimsy... The images and ideas come thick and fast. A very enjoyable read, perfect for lovers of fantasy that's a bit different.

Nearly 65% of dieters return to their pre-dieting weight within three years. Only 5% of people who lose weight on crash diets will keep the weight off. Most dieters will regain more weight than they lost. This is because most weight-loss programs, including surgery, do not work long-term In Lose Weight for Life you will learn...-the vital missing ingredient when diets and exercise alone aren't helping you lose weight or keep it off-nine unconscious behavior patterns that keep us fat-insights, tools, and mindsets to drop weight permanentlyIf you are ready to stop yo-yo dieting, love your body, and keep your weight off forever, you need this book

This book provides insight into an unconventional modality of imaging where several spectral images are captured by a single snapshot under multi-laser illumination, ensuring high-speed imaging within extremely narrow spectral bands. This method has three distinct advantages, if compared to common commercial multispectral imaging systems - considerably improved spectral selectivity (or colour sensitivity) of imaging, avoided motion artefacts in the spectral image sets, and simpler/faster image processing as integrals over the spectral bands of imaging are replaced by numbers of the fixed working wavelengths.The basic principles and progress in this field are reviewed, focusing on applications for human skin diagnostics and printed forgery detection. The designs of ten different lab-developed prototypes that implement this method are described, along with results of their laboratory, clinical and/or forensic tests. This research leads to the development of new equipment and protocols for better skin diagnostics and the advanced detection of money, document, and artwork forgeries.Chapter 1 explains the basics of spectral imaging, including the main principles of multispectral and hyperspectral imaging. Chapter 2 introduces the snapshot multi-spectral-line imaging (SMSLI) method, focusing on lasers as multi-wavelength illumination sources. Chapter 3 describes multi-laser illumination designs while Chapter 4 presents main specifications of the lab-assembled prototype devices implementing such designs. Results of the test measurements confirming applicability of the developed solutions for analysis/mapping of colour pigments in clinical diagnostics and forgery detection are discussed in Chapters 5 and 6, respectively.This will be a valuable reference for laser and imaging professionals, photonics researchers and engineers, clinicians (dermatologists, plastic surgeons, oncologists), forensic experts, and students of physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, and engineering.Key Features:· Reviews techniques and applications of narrowband spectral imaging using multi-laser illumination.· Presents ten different prototypes for implementing the multi-spectral-line imaging method.· Discusses applications of spectral line imaging for human skin diagnostics and forgery detection.
An interactive learning tool to be used by kids to teach and reinforce the safety protocol necessary to save kids and adult lives when an emergency should arise. This book is used along with the original book Kids To The Rescue to enforce a visual approach to learning the techniques.

When the author was a young girl, she experienced her father having mood swings and this created an unsettled environment for her to grow up in. She was anxious and very uncertain of her father and wondering which mood he would be in and this happened every day. But Janis noticed when she grew older she had not only anxiety but she was having mood swings as well. She went and got help and was put on medications and took a test that showed she was not only dealing with generalized anxiety disorder, but depression, depersonalization, borderline personality disorder, and unspecified bipolar disorder with psychosis. This made her wonder if her father suffered from some of the same mood disorders. Only a conversation with him

In order to provide the highest level of care to patients and clients, health professionals need a sound knowledge and understanding of healthcare ethics. Foundations of Healthcare Ethics: Theory to Practice focuses on the philosophical concepts underpinning contemporary ethical discourse for health professionals, and arms both students and professionals with the knowledge to tackle situations of moral uncertainty in clinical practice. Specially written to provide an in-depth study into the theoretical foundations of healthcare ethics, it covers a range of normative ethical theories, from virtue ethics to utilitarianism, while also investigating their application to contemporary issues in health care and society. It provides opportunities for self-directed learning, and presents questions and case studies to facilitate engagement and discussion. Foundations of Healthcare Ethics provides both students and professionals with an understanding of the philosophy governing healthcare ethics in order to help provide a better level of care to patients and clients.
Predatory Lending and the Destruction of the African-American Dream

Since the Great Recession of 2008, the racial wealth gap between black and white Americans has continued to widen. In Predatory Lending and the Destruction of the African-American Dream, Janis Sarra and Cheryl Wade detail the reasons for this failure by analyzing the economic exploitation of African Americans, with a focus on predatory practices in the home mortgage context. They also examine the failure of reform and litigation efforts ostensibly aimed at addressing this form of racial discrimination. This research, augmented by first-hand narratives, provides invaluable insight into the racial wealth gap by vividly illustrating the predation that targets African-American consumers and examining the intentionally obfuscating settlement terms of cases brought by the U.S. Department of Justice, States Attorneys, and municipalities. The authors conclude by offering structural, systemic changes to address predatory practices. This important work should be read by anyone seeking to understand racial inequality in the United States.

Partnering for Recovery in Mental Health is a practical guide for conducting person and family-centered recovery planning with individuals with serious mental illnesses and their families. It is derived from the authors’ extensive experience in articulating and implementing recovery-oriented practice and has been tested with roughly 3,000 providers who work in the field as well as with numerous post-graduate trainees in psychology, social work, nursing, and psychiatric rehabilitation. It has consistently received highly favorable evaluations from health care professionals as well as people in recovery from mental illness. This guide represents a new clinical approach to the planning and delivery of mental health care. It emerges from the mental health recovery movement, and has been developed in the process of the efforts to transform systems of care at the local, regional, and national levels to a recovery orientation. It will be an extremely useful tool for planning care within the context of current health care reform efforts and increasingly useful in the future, as systems of care become more person-centered. Consistent with other patient-centered care planning approaches, this book adapts this process specifically to meet the needs of persons with serious mental illnesses and their families. Partnering for Recovery in Mental Health is an invaluable guide for any person involved directly or indirectly in the provision, monitoring, evaluation, or use of community-based mental health care.
