No one goes through life unscathed. We all go through crisis; some more than others. Most of us have issues and challenges, and there is no one magic bullet or cure to all of them. Individual mentality and spiritually can help us handle what one is going through. So I thought about it and took my mentor's advice and started to write down what I did to overcome with adversity and how I continue to press4ward and finish strong

Ask anyone what it means to fulfill life''s destiny, and the answer they will give will almost always be, "You choose to make your own destiny." I did mention the word almost. When you are a spirited four-year-old boy with high aspirations whose Christian namesake was that of a coldhearted pimp, most would agree that your destiny was set on a predetermined course. Terry Christopher Carney was born into a legacy of male hustlers, gangbangers, and criminal masterminds, all of whom conveniently resided in the same household. When destiny''s odds are stacked highly against you, one must ask oneself, "Is there really such a thing as the universe giving you a choice?"This book is a living reflection of one boy whose destiny took him down a harsh yet poignant path to manhood. Life can be a dream for some, but for Terry, it was a challenge.

In this unique poetry book, you will get the opportunity to explore the art in language. The author, Naleen Chand Lachan, has presented unique poems written in Hindi using the English alphabet to allow the reader to be able to read the poems in Hindi as well as an English version of the poem. This is an attempt to bridge the gap between the emotional content from the Hindi poems since there are expressions and words in the Hindi language that have more depth in emotional context for which words do not exist in English language. Unlike some of the poetry books which translate the poems from a foreign language to English and lose the emotional connection and context to the original poem in the original language, we will not lose that emotional connection in this book. This book explores the depths of human emotions from love, confusion, fear, hate, downfall, rebirth, growth in character, and wisdom. This book is vital for anyone to read during the COVID-19 pandemic and the riots to see that we all are human and we all have human emotions. This book was created to help people with day-to-day struggles and life experiences as well as for someone who appreciates language as an art that is capable of seeing the beauty behind the Hindi language and being able to understand it in English as well in poetic form. We hope that from this book, the reader can take away something meaningful in some way from one or all the poems written by Naleen Chand Lachan.

At the park, Mike took Jenny into one of the dugouts beside the ball field. Here, for the first time she let him touch her. As the evening grew dark, they half sat and half lay on the bench in the dugout just kind of making out. Suddenly Jenny jumped to her feet."e;Shit, Mike, who's that?"e; she let out in a loud whisper.Mike stood just in time to see a man disappear into the tree line behind the ball field."e;Shit, Mike, that's that man. He was just standing there, watching us."e;"e;C'mon, Jen, let's get out of here."e;They ran through the park, adjusting their clothes on the way. Mike looked back several times as they ran. The stranger was gone. They stopped on the sidewalk outside the park."e;Holy shit, Jen, how long was he standing there?"e;"e;I don't know. Let's just get outta here. I'm scared."e;"e;Hell, me too holy shit."e;"e;We should call the police."e;"e;Yeah right, and tell them we were making out in the dugout. Let's just get outta here."e;Mike and Jenny walked away from the park, hand in hand, both looking back often. They stopped behind the Laundromat.After a kiss and a hug, Mike headed down the alley. Jenny felt her heart pound as she rounded the side of the Laundromat. She stared down the street for any signs of a strange man, ran across, and in the front door of her house.

As a direct result of an accidental electrocution while working on the 220 AC shore power system aboard his boat, Captain Leo Walton had an event which changed his life forever.Not only did the powerful electricity catapult him physically threw the air twelve feet, it entered his left hand using his own nerves as a conduit to enter his brain causing a severe traumatic brain injury.In less than a second, he fell into unconsciousness and began a journey that he did not choose or volunteer. For a period of three weeks, alone, he cycled in and out of consciousness, not realizing that the damage to his brain and the left side of his body would demand of him to relearn how to speak, to walk, to read, to feel, and literally to be lost struggling to find himself.As he recovered, having been a successful marine forensics investigator, he became obsessed with his own recovery. Learning quickly how fast it is today in the factory of medicine that exists in America, he found himself on six prescription medications, some psychotic in nature to replace the chemical compounds his crippled pineal and pituitary glands could no longer provide.Suffering the losses of business, marriage, and the ability to care and provide for himself, he fell into cycles of anger and despair to the point of a well-planned and luckily uncompleted suicide.Having developed significant physical, emotional, and psychological symptoms, he learned of a renegade bio-electric energy known by the ancients as a sudden Kundalini awakening that he determined was the cause of his suffering.Without any great success with modern western medicine, he became an explorer of alternative methods and found himself investigating many ancient methods of healing such as yoga, reiki, qi gong, and meditation, which in time, sungazing became his primary focus.This volume details three experiments taken from Captain Leo's personal and detailed journals about his two sungazing experiments requiring nineteen months and three hundred forty-four days, totaling an incredible a hundred fifty-three hours of staring naked-eyed at the sun, gaining the superhuman ability to stare at the sun for forty-five minutes duration. Now convinced his theories were correct, as a result of his sungazing experiments and information he learned from a thorough investigation of Nikola Tesla's life and habits, this led him to duplicate Tesla's habits and participate once more in an experiment to see how long he could go without eating food and remain alive and healthy. This led to a tenacious ninety days living as a breatharian to prove his beliefs.Learn why Captain Leo affectionately named this The Book of Miracles.

Who has not felt frustrated or sad at some time? Who has not experienced any situation that has caused confusion? In this school of learning that is life, I believe that none of us has escaped one or many of those circumstances. The important thing is to face each uncomfortable event that occurs to us in the best way to avoid being affected for a long time, subtracting the joy that motivates us to create, to smile, and to enjoy every occasion. Ignoring the inconvenience, we feel only the discomfort increases, and we are in danger of harboring destructive feelings. Sometimes just by changing the glass with which we look at an event, the perception of it changes. We train for the jobs we are going to do; however, we intend to face the world without even knowing ourselves. Only by knowing ourselves and taking responsibility for our actions we have the ability to live in harmony. In three chapters, you will find many of the reasons why you sometimes feel uncomfortable. You will also find how to solve many discomforts and how to fill your life and the ones who surround you with joy. Quién no ha sentido frustración o tristeza alguna vez? Quién no ha experimentado alguna situación que le haya causado confusión? En esta escuela de aprendizaje que es la vida, creo que ninguno hemos escapado a una o muchas de esas circunstancias. Lo importante es encarar cada evento incómodo de la mejor manera, para así evitar que nos afecte por un tiempo prolongado, restándonos la alegría que nos motiva a crear, sonreír y disfrutar cada ocasión.Ignorando lo que nos molesta, solo sentimos como la incomodidad crece y corremos el peligro de asentar sentimientos destructivos. A veces solo con cambiar el cristal con el que estamos mirando, la percepción varía.Nos entrenamos para los trabajos que vamos a ejecutar, sin embargo intentamos afrontar la vida sin ni siquiera conocernos. Solo conociéndonos y tomando responsabilidad de nuestras acciones, tenemos la capacidad de vivir en armonía. En tres capítulos encontrarás muchas de las razones por las cuales algunas veces te sientes incómodo. También encontrarás como resolver esas incomodidades y como llenar tu vida y la de quienes te rodean con alegría.

My desire to be of positive impact to my generation and to give back to the profession that has been of tremendous blessings to my career has inspired me to write this book ''Understanding International Trade Finance''. Of my twenty-eight years in banking, I have been remarkably involved in Trade Finance in the last twenty years and I have identified the knowledge gap that exists in this specialized area of financial services and global trade at large. This book is based on my practical experiences of the last eighteen years across different geographies that has culminated in writing of this book in your hand.One intriguing personal experience in this field was that of a friend that travelled abroad and bought a car at an ex-works price and thought he had made a good bargain until about six months of waiting for the car to arrive from abroad, but nothing turned up and he complained to me;I examined the documents and noticed that the invoice reads "ex-works." I told him that the price he paid for the car does not cover the cost of shipping the car and that it is his responsibility to arrange for this, then he realised it wasn''t really a good bargain after all.Are you a banker, importer, exporter, student, trade finance practitioner etc.? This book, ''Understanding International Trade Finance'' is a must-read book for you.I would like to specially express my profound gratitude to my family for their love and support in the course of writing this book.Also, my colleagues and friends for their encouragements in the actualization of this project.Above all, I am sincerely thankful to God for the grace, courage, and strength for in writing this book.

This a brief summary regarding my short children's story of What Made Gracie Smile. Firstly, this book was inspired to provoke those of whom are growing up as the younger generation evolves that their childhood friends who have left due to relocating and or unknown reasons that you are not alone. Gracie starts off as an adolescent of ten years old and discovers that her life will be changed forever after meeting her new best friend, Lisa. The setting takes place in Washington, DC, and concludes elsewhere after Gracie's parents relocated to another choice of residence. After relocating, Gracie has met many new friends one of which she becomes very comfortable with Matthew. There are three main characters: Lisa, Gracie, and Matthew. A word from the writer I wrote this short children's story because I went through a similar event in my childhood at age eleven, although Gracie had many differences compared to myself, we also have several similarities. I remember my mother saying when I was as young as Gracie that we were moving, I thought I would never see my best friend again. This book inspires the youth and young adolescents that although you have a close friend and as life goes on with the many changes of life, that if someone leaves that they are not truly gone. But all ages of readers are delighted to enjoy this short story and the main question is why did Gracie smile? What made her smile? Why did she smile? Why?
