On a cool, spring day in 1897, Alfred Haney left his Williamston, Michigan home to earn a day's wage. He knew his wife's peculiar behavior had become more frequent, and he had planned on her seeing the town doctor, but she assured him she was feeling much better. They would go the following day instead. When he returned home later that day, he discovered a macabre murder so bizarre that it shook the entire community to its core. His mother's severed head was set on the dinner table, adorned with a knife and fork on either side. Lying nearby was the old woman's body, soaked in kerosene and set ablaze. Screaming, Alfred Haney ran from the house in search of the law, and while neighbors tried to extinguish the smoldering, beheaded corpse, Haney's wife, Martha, removed herself to the back yard and began digging wildly with her hands. Shortly after the discovery, a sheriff's deputy arrived, taking Martha into custody and lodging her in the local jail at the village hall. Ingham County Sheriff John Rehle, known as J. J. among his constituents, arrived by train and surveyed the carnage. He and his deputy discovered the murder weapon, an axe, hidden behind some boards under the rear stoop. Rehle organized a Coroner's Inquest that was held inside the house where the old woman's body lay. In an attempt to determine her state of mind at the time of the crime, local doctors interviewed the murderess. She told them she spoke frequently with her own dead mother, and her mother had told her to kill the old woman. Over the next several days, court hearings decided her ultimate fate. A panel of three doctors was commissioned to determine her sanity. In the end, there would be no prosecution. Deemed insane, she was sentenced to the Michigan Home for the Dangerous and Criminally Insane in Ionia. What made Martha Haney snap and behead her mother-in-law? Had she been insane from the beginning? Had domestic violence pervaded her short life? Or was it the e

Barbara and Herb Shapiro are a husband and wife team who own and operate a wealth management, financial planning and investment firm in Dedham, Massachusetts. They decided to write a practical guide to finance and money after divorce after seeing divorcing couples make the same mistakes and wrong assumptions over and over again. The Shapiros have written an eye opening expose of the financial disaster that results when a couple divorce. Two cannot live as cheaply as one after divorce. The divorce ends a financial partnership as well as a romantic relationship. One household becomes two and expenses double while income often stays the same. Their book is primarily aimed at the spouse who never paid any attention to the bills and family finances. They provide basic information on budgeting, savings, investments and financial planning and give readers the information they need to ask the right questions of their own lawyers and financial managers. This book brings a light touch and is sometimes laugh out loud funny as they describe the pitfalls and battles that cost divorcing couples' time and money such as the couple with $500 an hour lawyers who battled over an inexpensive mosquito zapper. The book includes helpful work sheets and charts based upon the materials used by probate courts in determining allocation of assets during divorces. The book also draws upon the expert opinions of experienced divorce lawyers, a probate court judge, counselors, psychologists and bankers with intimate understanding of the financial challenge of divorce. Herb and Barbara work from offices that are side by side and frequently call out to one another throughout the course of the work day. They do the same thing in this book bringing their different perspectives to issues such as children, the family home, retirement planning, the challenges involved when same sex couples divorce, and how to maximize assets to get a fresh start. Their opinions address many of the gender differences

The first half of THE LIFE OF CHRIST THROUGH POETRY AND OTHER POEMS is intensely spiritual. The first section follows Jesus Christ from his birth to his ascension. The second section, DIALOGS WITH GODMAN are personal prayers formed into poetry. The third section, OTHER POEMS are poems of this world. They are about everyday people doing everyday things. Some poems are autobiographical. The three sections together are a culmination of thirty years of writing poetry. I hope you enjoy the book. What follows is a selection from each section: BALLAD OF SOME MIRACLES OF GOD-MANThe Lord was walking down the road;Begged leper to be healed.The Lord healed him to ease his load;Leper laughed and squealed.The Centurion came and asked,For his servants' good health.Christ said, "Order be done, the task."Servant was healed with stealth.Then Peter's dear mother-in-law,Did have a high fever.The Lord healed her every flaw.Now, she's a believer.Next, God-Man expelled the possessed,And cured those afflicted.From all illnesses, he gave rest.Tell no one." he restricted. IN PRAISE OF THE GOD-MANLord, we start out the New Year with you.Bless us, as you always do.Protect us from all evil,And all forms of upheaval.Know that we praise your name,And keep the candle of our birth aflame. STATUS QUOWhen sadness penetrates the soul, the heart,And steals the joy of sensuous desire,And magic of sweet love turns bitter tart,And flustered lust is beaten to retire,Then lovers undertake to love no more.The idle fascination satisfied.The bodies, breasts, and darting eyes of whores,Were once the husbands, housewives, but they died.No more are eager, tender whispers heard.In bedrooms, lamentations take their place.The whole conception, love is but a word.These thoughts have proven; stated is my case.But nothing changes; lovers will still lust,And will continue till they turn to dust!I hope you enjoy th

I have known Riaz his whole life. He is from a large family and I have seen him grow up, seen his interactions with his siblings, and dealing with his family issues. Like many families, Riaz also faced his share of family politics, favoritism and schemes amongst the brothers and sisters. At first he dismissed the issues thinking to put the family first, but later when he found that they had also ignored him when making many decisions and also remained aloof during many special events, he decided to raise his voice, demanding his basic family rights, but was disappointed. He approached one of his senior siblings who he thought would listen to him with an unbiased opinion. Although his senior siblings tried to convince the others to be affectionate with each other and build up harmony, it fell on deaf ears. This attitude amongst the siblings was also shifting trust amongst the cousins. In this book I dig into some of Ritz's personal affairs to alert the second generation and to expose all those who were involved in their unfair dealings with each other. With this, the second generation can judge for themselves, for they are more talented and literate then their parents and I have full confidence they will adopt the right path.

The Latest and Best Bible Translation-Yours!The Latest and Best Bible Translation - Yours! is written for the person who wants the truth of the actual ancient Hebrew Scripture, upon which the "Old Testament" of Christianity is based - in its own words - even if such truth flies in the face of two millennia of traditional Biblical teachings. The Latest and Best Bible Translation -Yours! gives readers the first real look inside the Bible in more than 2,200 years! Similar books attempt only to teach "Biblical Hebrew". Ancient "translators" used the structure of the Hebrew and Greek languages in order to change the actual words of the Scripture. Rather than give the people direct access to the Deity of the Scripture, they wanted to be the ones who would tell the people what the Deity had to say. The Latest and Best Bible Translation - Yours! is the only book available that teaches the actual structure of the ancient Hebrew language and how the actual words of Scripture have been hijacked-giving the world, in effect, a parallel counterfeit Scripture that humanity has accepted at face value as genuine. This book gives access to the actual Hebrew Scripture-and, as well-access to the Deity who's Presence is interwoven throughout the actual narrative of its text.
