This series is dedicated to those who have suffered abuse at the hand of someone who was supposed to love them and care for them. Often this means a family member. Not always though. We know that abuse is abuse, no matter where it comes from or what kind of abuse it is. Not just child abuse, abuse from domestic violence, abuse from siblings, relatives, father or mother, a family friend, or a complete stranger. Abuse can destroy. Abuse can color a person's world so drastically that life as they once knew it is forever changed. Our stories join the many that are already published, as we feel that together, our voices are meant to be heard. Our purpose is to provide encouragement and inspiration to those still in abusive situations, as well as those who are just now taking steps to walk away. Walking away takes a great deal of courage. It is scary and full of uncertainties. It is often said that it takes much more courage to walk away than it does to stay, simply because staying is familiar. Walking away is walking into the unknown. Even more than courage, is the determined decision to do what it takes to heal, to recover from the pain, the devastation to the body, the mind, the self-esteem is where these stories come to light. In each of these stories, a decision was made. As you will read in the pages of this book, the stories are as many, and as varied as the courageous women that chose to write and share them. They come from many different walks of life, even from different countries. Some are young, some are older. One story is of a 92-year-old woman who told her story for the very first time. There is one that shares a poem, her story of vicious and evil cyber-attacks that almost cost her life was not safe enough to share at this time. Healing is a process. It does not happen overnight, and often there are triggers that will take us by surprise and set us back a bit. This is normal. To have had the opportunity to get to know each of these women has been humbling and evoked deep respect for them and the journey they have chosen to be on. Many of the women that were in book one in this series, gained such courage from find speaking up and being heard that they are now actively helping others to take a stand. Today's world has a lot of publicity about these topics. It is not meant to get attention, nor, to have others feel sorry for us. These stories are shared to inspire others and to bring about sorely needed change in our world. We want to change the tide and create awareness that abuse is unacceptable. If you are reading this book today, we hope you will reach out for help if you are in need of help. We encourage you to reach out to any one of us for support. The beauty of this is that YOU ARE NOT ALONE
This book provides a rigorous, comprehensive introduction to the finite Markov chain imbedding technique for studying the distributions of runs and patterns from a unified and intuitive viewpoint, away from the lines of traditional combinatorics. The central theme of this approach is to properly imbed the random variables of interest into the framework of a finite Markov chain, and the resulting representations of the underlying distributions are compact and very amenable to further study of associated properties. The concept of finite Markov chain imbedding is systematically developed, and its utility is illustrated through practical applications to a variety of fields, including the reliability of engineering systems, hypothesis testing, quality control, and continuity measurement in the health care sector.

They provide clear and concise informed content about where women historically have been socialized to be, the impact of economic trends in the US and globally on gender roles, and provide insight on how women can take a seat at their table, if they so desire. Today in the United States and in the developing world, women are better off than ever. We stand on the shoulders of the women who came before us, women who had to fight for the rights that we take for granted and do not always exercise.One truth remains though, men still govern most of the countries in the world. Of the 195 independent countries, only 17 are led by women.Even though women are over 50 percent of the college graduates and make up of overall population in the United States, the percentage of women entrepreneurs (only 5%), in corporate and board leadership and elected congressional officials is not comparable with our gender counterpart.Proportion of seats held by women in national parliament in 2014, was 19.4% (genderstats.un.org)Leveling the gender disparity on the playground, is now possible, when assets, resources, and innovation is leveraged to deconstruct beliefs about leadership, work, love, and play.

A century has passed since the Great War was fought. This is a never before published, first hand account, written and compiled by my great grandfather, Paul L. Compton. His narrative brings events to life from a perspective of one who was actually there. Beginning with training at camp Hancock, Georgia, he carries you through the voyage to Europe, the war, and then the return home to the welcoming parades. Not only does his writing bring the events of the war to life, but his personality adds some lightheartedness and humor to an otherwise difficult topic. It's an enjoyable read, making you feel as if you are by his side and participating, as he retells the events. The reader is left with a sense of being there, as well as making a friendship connection with Paul Compton himself. Included near the end of the book are his poetic reflections and ponderings about various memorials, monuments, and life. These further illustrate the man Paul Compton was. This was a very enjoyable project to work on and caused me to want to know more about WW1. This would make a great gift for anyone. Order copies today for yourself and friends & family.

""Why do we have to learn this?"" For as long as there have been students, teachers have been answering this question, but we haven't always answered it very well--for our students or for ourselves. We sometimes forget that everything we teach, whether ""sacred"" or ""secular,"" has value because it is part of God's truth, and integrating that truth across the curriculum is what makes an education Christian. This book from a father-and-daughter team of seasoned Christian educators offers a comprehensive, biblically based presentation of integration. Its goal is to help readers view all aspects of the curriculum within the framework of God's story as told from Genesis to Revelation. By organizing subject areas under five broad categories--nature, people, communication, beauty, and ultimate issues--the authors demonstrate that each subject area flows from the biblical story. Each chapter concludes with a summary of the truths presented, a set of teacher tips, and a list of additional resources.
