Fairy tales and magic are usually restricted to the realm of fantasy, but this all changes, when an archaeological dig unearths things that would have been better left buried. Ancient artifacts created millennia's ago by aliens, restores some magic to the world, as two disparate sorcerers, begin to wield power that could twist all the preconceived laws of nature.Adopting the name of a Hebrew High Priest of those ancient times, one of these sorcerers seeks ascendancy and power, and allies himself with moguls of great wealth in an attempt at world domination. His antagonist is an unsuspecting young man, who struggles with this inheritance, and a budding confrontation evolves into a battle of guile and innovation, as the other growing colossus of evil is fearfully challenged by this reluctant and telepathic twenty-first century magician.Such power comes with both a price and a purpose, but neither man is cognizant of the magnitude of what is now being slowly enacted, from plans formulated thousands of years ago. The mastery of time and space were the skills of the ancient aliens, and now their plan is slowly and intricately unfolding, and hopefully unleashing events that will eventually prevent the impending chaos that threatens two universes.

"If I build it, they will come." The fantasy of every new entrepreneur. The reality is that great products and services are built on feedback and being in front of the right audience. Too many new businesses are building an idea into a product and then searching for the right audience. This is especially true in the bootstrap-your-way-to- bankruptcy model in the author, coach, and speaker world. Pitchslapped is a unique look at how to assess your audience, get feedback, and build your products to meet audience needs instead of building a product and finding your audience later. A feedback loop and relationship building is the best way to build sustainable products and services. Forget the digital world, consumers are tired of clicking and not building relationships. They want to purchase high- ticket programs from real people, with real expertise, that get real results. If you are an entrepreneur who is struggling to sell your products and services, it is time to stop pitching and start building relationships that provide the listening necessary to build and deliver great products in a way that your audience understands. Stop relying on clicks and social proof and start relying on "Pocketbook Proof".This book is designed to walk you through a process that creates connection with an audience that you can test and from whom you can get feedback. Most people have been indoctrinated into a process that asks them to build social proof and invest in coaching programs to attain skills without really understanding who their ideal audience is and how to effectively connect with them. Social proof is not the way to run a business. You are looking for pocketbook proof, which means that you need to intimately know and understand your ideal consumer. Who are they, where are they, and why do they purchase?This process is a shift from guessing about pain points, benefits, and who to connect with to following patterns of engagement, having real conversations, and getting feedback that leads to higher conversion and sales closing. By taking a fresh look at your consumer and marketing, you will create more meaningful connections with the right clients and replicate those results into a sustainable business.

All great writers in history were smokers but now smoking had been banned globally effective New Year's Day 2009. The Act of Cessation was launched during the transition between the Bush and Obama administrations with dire implications because of the rampant rumor of Obama being a closet-smoker.

The other is his secret life as the last smoker on earth. Facilitated by nicotine stimulation, the protagonist is on a mission to return literature to society as a closet-smoker, writing the great American novel in his surreptitious sojourns to the underground. If apprehended by the anti-tobacco police he will be incarcerated in a place called the Midnight Express and never heard from again.

The Lockdown Papers is a miscellany of satire, reflection and analysis of Irish life over five decades from academic and columnist John Dillon. When Ireland went into lockdown in March 2020, the author availed of the down time provided to compile a selection of his social and political essays, ranging from his first interview with Kenya's Jomo Kenyatta in 1963 to his take on the Greek financial crisis in 2012.Mainly taken from the pages of national newspapers for which he wrote over five decades, it also contains more philosophical reflections and personal essays that deliver a singular and often mischievous view of life that makes this compendium both thought provoking and amusing.A plum read for anybody stuck in 2021's extended Covid lockdown, the author looks back at former dark times in Ireland and gives the reader a fair few laughs along the way. In it, you'll read his irreverent thoughts on GUBU, the various Tribunals, the Right to Life, fatherly bishops and many more issues that fired Irish passions in the eighties and nineties. John Dillon is Regius Professor of Greek (Emeritus) in Trinity College Dublin. Prior to that, after graduating from Oxford, he spent some years in Ethiopia, and was a member of the Classics Department of the University of California, Berkeley until 1980. His chief area of interest is the philosophy of Plato and the tradition deriving from him, but he has always had an interest in more popular forms of writing as well, together with a weakness for practical politics. He has penned and edited many academic books, more about which can be found on his website. His most recent book is a second edition of his literary novel, The Scent of Eucalyptus, published in 2019 by 451 Editions. This is his first book of essays.

My story does not claim to be history, but in every important historical detail it is absolutely faithful to the records of the times as I have found them. Every word of the debate in Congress, every word of Marbois, Livingston, Decr s, Napoleon, and his two brothers on the subject of the Louisiana Cession is verbatim from the most authentic accounts. I am indebted for the historical part of my story to Gayarr 's "History of Louisiana," to Martin's "History of Louisiana," to James K. Hosmer's "History of the Louisiana Purchase," to Lucien Bonaparte's "Memoirs," to numerous lives of Napoleon, Jefferson, Talleyrand, and others, and particularly to Marbois himself, whose account of the negotiations on the subject of the cession is preserved in his own handwriting in the St. Louis Mercantile Library.
