Detective Inspector Benedict Paige's investigations lead to a 25-year-old called Colin. The murder weapon is recovered from Colin's garden, and, under questioning, he confesses to killing Gayle. The problem is that Colin has the mental age of a seven-year-old, casting doubt on his ability to comprehend the severity of his actions and his culpability. Colin's older brother, Roger, has his own problems with the police. Wanted for dealing with stolen goods, is he manipulating his vulnerable sibling? DI Paige discovers Roger and Gayle had been lovers. This family is clearly implicated. As a teacher, Gayle had her enemies, and it soon becomes clear that there were several individuals who had reasons to want Gayle dead. She'd lied, blackmailed and used people. Had her past caught up with her? As DI Paige delves deeper, he finds a toxic mix of bitterness, revenge and jealousy lurking beneath the surface.

Download or read book Requiem for Camelot written by Alan E Diehl and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-07-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While conspiracy theories continue to swirl around the death of "America's Prince," many people dismiss the tragedy as another manifestation of the "Kennedy Curse." This expose explains how the cause of his crash was actually bureaucratic machinations that prevented him from getting critical training. The FAA developed training to reduce judgment errors made by neophyte pilots like Kennedy. But when the author blew the whistle on the Agency's top officials lying to Congress, they canceled this program. Kennedy and thousands of other pilots and passengers would subsequently die. This is the inside story of the icon's tragic death and how official malfeasance continues to threaten everyone who flies. The author wrote an NTSB recommendation that dramatically improved airline safety. However, general aviation crashes continued unabated, so the FAA had him develop a similar program for non-professional pilots. He became a whistleblower when he discovered major safety issues at the FAA and later at the Pentagon... He was assigned to a Congressionally mandated air carrier analysis system. He now describes how lessons learned from that project should be applied to the current Boeing crisis.

Download or read book Internationalism or Extinction written by Noam Chomsky and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-27 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his new book, Noam Chomsky writes cogently about the threats to planetary survival that are of growing alarm today. The prospect of human extinction emerged after World War II, the dawn of a new era scientists now term the Anthropocene. Chomsky uniquely traces the duality of existential threats from nuclear weapons and from climate change—including how the concerns emerged and evolved, and how the threats can interact with one another. The introduction and accompanying interviews place these dual threats in a framework of unprecedented corporate global power which has overtaken nation states’ ability to control the future and preserve the planet. Chomsky argues for the urgency of international climate and arms agreements, showing how global popular movements are mobilizing to force governments to meet this unprecedented challenge to civilization’s survival.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God once declared everything in the world “very good.” Can you imagine it? A Vision of Hope for a Broken World Shalom is what God declared. Shalom is what the Kingdom of God looks like. Shalom is when all people have enough. It’s when families are healed. It’s when churches, schools, and public policies protect human dignity. Shalom is when the image of God is recognized in every single human. Shalom is our calling as followers of Jesus’s gospel. It is the vision God set forth in the Garden and the restoration God desires for every relationship. What can we do to bring shalom to our nations, our communities, and our souls? Through a careful exploration of biblical text, particularly the first three chapters of Genesis, Lisa Sharon Harper shows us what “very good” can look like today, even after the Fall. Because despite our anxious minds, despite division and threats of violence, God’s vision remains: Wholeness for a hurting world. Peace for a fearful soul. Shalom.

Download or read book The Life of Mikey written by Michael K. Willis and published by . This book was released on 2017-07 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In his new memoir about coming of age in rural Appalachia, Michael K. Willis examines the changing culture and ever-present history of his childhood home in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Michael "Mikey" K. Willis spent his most impressionable years in southern Appalachia. In his eye-opening new memoir, he perfectly captures the local culture of 1960s rural North Carolina. Willis's memoir shows both the unique heritage of the region and his personal struggles as a young man growing up in an abusive family. The mountains of North Carolina serve as a deterrent to outsiders, but the locals embrace the beautiful scenery and rugged isolation. This isolation serves to make Mikey's life a living hell. Even in the wild beauty of the mountains, he can't escape the violent actions of his parents. If his father isn't missing, he is beating young Mikey. But his neighbors know Mikey's father only as the pastor of the local Baptist church. As Willis explores this early-childhood trauma, he also chronicles his encounters with southern gospel music, baptisms, and revival meetings."--Publisher's description.

Download or read book Who Do You Serve Who Do You Protect written by Maya Schenwar and published by Haymarket Books. This book was released on 2016-05-30 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays and reports examining the reality of police violence against Black and brown communities in America. What is the reality of policing in the United States? Do the police keep anyone safe and secure other than the very wealthy? How do recent police killings of young Black people in the United States fit into the historical and global context of anti-blackness? This collection of reports and essays (the first collaboration between Truthout and Haymarket Books) explores police violence against Black, brown, indigenous, and other marginalized communities, miscarriages of justice, and failures of token accountability and reform measures. It also makes a compelling and provocative argument against calling the police. Contributions cover a broad range of issues including the killing by police of Black men and women, police violence against Latino and indigenous communities, law enforcement’s treatment of pregnant people and those with mental illness, and the impact of racist police violence on parenting. There are also specific stories such as a Detroit police conspiracy to slap murder convictions on young Black men using police informant, and the failure of Chicago’s much-touted Independent Police Review Authority, the body supposedly responsible for investigating police misconduct. The title Who Do You Serve, Who Do You Protect? is no mere provocation: the book also explores alternatives for keeping communities safe. Contributors include William C. Anderson, Candice Bernd, Aaron Cantú, Thandi Chimurenga, Ejeris Dixon, Adam Hudson, Victoria Law, Mike Ludwig, Sarah Macaraeg, and Roberto Rodriguez. Praise for Who Do You Serve, Who Do You Protect? “With heartbreaking, glass-sharp prose, the book catalogs the abuse and destruction of Black, native, and trans bodies. And then, most importantly, it offers real-world solutions.” —Chicago Review of Books “A must-read for anyone seeking to understand American culture in the present day.” —Xica Nation “This brilliant collection of essays, written by activists, journalists, community organizers and survivors of state violence, urgently confronts the criminalization, police violence and anti-Black racism that is plaguing urban communities. It is one of the most important books to emerge about these critical issues: passionately written with a keen eye towards building a world free of the cruelty and violence of the carceral state.” —Beth Richie, author of Arrested Justice: Black Women, Violence, and America’s Prison Nation

Download or read book Regulating From the Inside written by Iris H-Y Chiu and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-05 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines a key aspect of the post-financial crisis reform package in the EU and UK-the ratcheting up of internal control in banks and financial institutions. The legal framework for internal controls is an important part of prudential regulation, and internal control also constitutes a form of internal gate-keeping for financial firms so that compliance with laws and regulations can be secured. This book argues that the legal framework for internal control, which is a form of meta-regulation, is susceptible to weaknesses, and such weaknesses are critically examined by adopting an interdisciplinary approach. The book discusses whether post-crisis reforms adequately address the weaknesses in regulating internal control and proposes an alternative strategy to enhance the 'governance' effectiveness of internal control.

Download or read book Hollywood Melodrama and the New Deal written by Anna Siomopoulos and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-04 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While many critics have analyzed the influence of the FDR administration on Hollywood films of the era, most of these studies have focused either on New Deal imagery or on studio interactions with the federal government. Neither type of study explores the relationship between film and the ideological principles underlying the New Deal. This book argues that the most important connections between the New Deal and Hollywood melodrama lie neither in the New Deal iconography of these films, nor in the politics of any one studio executive. Rather, the New Deal figures prominently in Hollywood melodramas of the Depression era because these films engage the political ideas underlying welfare state policies—ideas that extended the reach of government into the private realm. As the author shows, Hollywood melodramas interrogated New Deal principles of liberal empathy—consumer citizenship, the refeudalization of the state, and minimal economic redistribution—only to support welfare-state ideology in the end.
