Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times Bestseller A bestselling book that is inspiring the nation: “We have written here about terrible things that we never wanted to think about again . . . Now we want the world to know: we survived, we are free, we love life.” Two women kidnapped by infamous Cleveland school-bus driver Ariel Castro share the stories of their abductions, captivity, and dramatic escape On May 6, 2013, Amanda Berry made headlines around the world when she fled a Cleveland home and called 911, saying: “Help me, I’m Amanda Berry. . . . I’ve been kidnapped, and I’ve been missing for ten years.” A horrifying story rapidly unfolded. Ariel Castro, a local school bus driver, had separately lured Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight to his home, where he kept them chained. In the decade that followed, the three were raped, psychologically abused, and threatened with death. Berry had a daughter—Jocelyn—by their captor. Drawing upon their recollections and the diary kept by Amanda Berry, Berry and Gina DeJesus describe a tale of unimaginable torment, and Pulitzer Prize–winning Washington Post reporters Mary Jordan and Kevin Sullivan interweave the events within Castro’s house with original reporting on efforts to find the missing girls. The full story behind the headlines—including details never previously released on Castro’s life and motivations—Hope is a harrowing yet inspiring chronicle of two women whose courage, ingenuity, and resourcefulness ultimately delivered them back to their lives and families.

At least, that what it feels like until a hot night with a beautiful stranger who seems oddly familiar—a stranger he can't forget. Megan Bradley loves working at her parents' bar.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The London Regional Committee warns that preparations for the 2011 Census risk a repeat of the difficulties of the 2001 Census, where the population of several London boroughs was seriously undercounted. The acknowledged undercounting of London's population in the 2001 Census continues to have an effect on the funding provided to London's boroughs for the services they are expected to provide for the capital's population. The report welcomes improvements which have been made to arrangements for the conduct of the 2011 Census and acknowledges that substantial lessons have been learned from the 2001 exercise. However, the MPs raise concerns that these preparations will not be enough to boost the number of census forms delivered, completed and collected in the capital to acceptable response levels. The Committee callS on the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to address potential problems with recruitment of skilled enumerators with the local knowledge required to ensure the successful delivery and collection of as many Census forms as possible. The MPs also recommend that ONS discusses with London boroughs the methods it proposes to use to calculate final Census figures and estimate missing returns, in order to share expertise on the particular population profiles in each borough.

Book excerpt: Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers at night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms, and the autumn moon is bright . And indeed, this tale began in the fall, when the autumn moon was bright. Michelle Baker comes to the border town of Brownsville, Texas with her family. Left alone to watch the house while her parents are in Mexico, she begins to feel a great sense of isolation in a place where she has no friends or relatives, no one to call on, and more importantly, no one to notice if she should be missing . In September, she begins the fall at college. Being new to the area and alien to the culture which is 90% Hispanic, she's reluctant to make friends until she meets Raul. His crisp, unaccented English and cool manner attract her at first, quickly developing into kindred feelings as Raul shares many secrets. Michelle has a natural gift for being able to communicate with the spirit world, and reveals this to Raul in their initial conversation. In return Raul unveils to Michelle that he believes himself to be a werewolf. Michelle passes off his werewolf' story as eccentricity, as well as some sort of morbidity having to do with the death of his father, in which he recites his grief about continuously throughout his phrases. Later that evening, Raul invites her to The Blue House, the place where his father died. Carelessly leaving with him that night, Michelle finds herself in a fearful situation: Raul drives her to the country side of Brownsville, to the small community of San Pedro where the run down farm house stands in the darkness, illuminated only by the dim security lamp off to the side of the yard, otherwise, swallowed in a most eerie manner by the shadows of mesquite trees. Once inside the house, Michelle finds herself amidst unworldly memories of living there. She feels an instant connection to the house as one would feel to someone they'd once known, even though she'd just arrived. Raul drugs and seduces her, delivering a painful bite. She begins to fear him and really feel that he is a werewolf. He fills her head with his lycanthropic desires and ideas, intensifying her fears. It isn't long before Michelle begins to have nightmares that she, too, is a werewolf. The feelings of familiarity with the blue house become more intense, and when Michelle goes uninvited to the house, Raul becomes furious, feeling she had uncovered many secrets about him and his family. He had already been badly scorned by a previous lover who was then engaged to his best friend he was not about to be burned once again. He begins dark rituals of magic to try and end Michelle's life, and when black magic fails, he literally tries to kill her on several foiled attempts. To Raul's dismay, Michelle has an eye for his friend who'd broken up his former relationship, and soon after she turns away from him, Michelle begins seeing Cecilio, further fueling an already raging fire of hate. The memories keep coming to Michelle, and she begins to see a stranger in her dreams associated with these recollections the stranger is Raul's father, who is accompanied in the spirit world by his father, Pancho, and an Indian shaman, Don Chonito. She learns that the later two where always at his side in life, as well. Michelle wants to tell Raul about the dreams of his father, and the memories in spite of the fact that he is attempting to murder her. But the spirit of Raul's father, who calls himself Melo, warns her not to. Michelle discusses her problems with Raul with a classmate, Patrick a far out, Wicca, gothic, vampire fellow. He understands and introduces her to a woman he is acquainted with who helps people with spiritual problems...a curandera named Trudy Van Frank. Michelle is seeks refuge in the woman's house both from her alonness, as well as safety from Raul, who becomes above and beyond reproach. But to Michelle's misfortune, Trudy was once Raul's father's girlfriend. Naturally, she sides with Raul behind Michelle's back. Melo wa

Download or read book Two Worlds written by Berlinda Ivin and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-03-18 with total page 663 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There arent too many humans who go through their daily lives aware that there are two worlds here, the human existence and the Demons. Demon are everywhere, some even live amongst humans. There are only two species that are made, Vampire and Lamiahaem, the others, Jorgenhan, Changelings, Sirens, Casanovas, Witches and Warlocks are born or hatched, and they have normal life cycles. Magic plays a big part in our world, there are many humans who find that they can make things happen without being able to explain these happenings, the ones that are strong are generally found and recruited into our world, by the Guard. We had visited with many of these Witches and Warlocks. One family in particular always stood out, the Howard family. Their magic was powerful; nothing had ever measured up to them in all of my years. The matriarch of the family, decided not to join us, she stayed in the human world. Her granddaughters though we would watch from a distance. The Guard are soldiers for the Elders. There are seven Elders, in each sector, and there are three sectors, that keep the world covered. The reason there are seven is to ensure that all main Demons are represented. It is very rare that they ever get together, it has only happened once in my lifetime and that was in the very beginning when they first came to be. The Elders are our law; they are the ones who stop all unnecessary murders/slaughter being done to humans by our kind. They keep harmony. There is only one punishment, imprisonment followed by death. In our sector the lead Elder is my maker, my father, Elder Thomas Carter, he is a Lamiahaem. Lamiahaem are very passionate Demons, if we were not part of the Guard we would be living peacefully in our large family groups. Our species are not naturally aggressive, we have had to learn to adapt to a violent world. We are made and we make our partners, these are always humans that have magical gifts. When we meet that partner it is for life, this is natural for us. It is hard to explain the magnetic pull that you have when you first meet your mate; this love is also experienced by the human. There is only one mate for you, if that is denied you will recover and eventually meet another, but it can take some time. I have been Lamiahaem since 1554, my name is Simon. My father Thomas Carter lost his mate in a fight with vampire before he made me. He still cannot explain why he felt the need to change me, only to say that he noticed my gift of being able to feel illness and injuries and to know how to heal. Father believed that I would be useful to his world. We were in Newcastle in 1635, I was with the Guard. There were Renegade Vampire feeding off humans that had the plague, it appeared their affected blood was something like a drug to them. Even though these humans were going to die, we were still there to stop them from being slaughtered. That was when I seen the woman who would later become my wife, Julie, she had shoulder length light brown hair and sad brown eyes, the feelings I had were instant. Her eyes haunted me every second from the moment I seen her. It wasnt just sexual desire it was a desire to look after her, to be there for her, to never leave her. There were obstacles that I had to overcome, but in 1637, I made her my wife. After she was changed we discovered that Julie could sense feelings. My life now had purpose, she was everything, and she felt the same for me. Together we worked at healing both Demons and Humans. Normally that is where it would stop, we change our mate, but Julie and I were different. In 1665, the plague had hit London. The Vampire returned and so did the Guard. Julie had noticed a young man who was angry, lonely and deeply upset with himself. His family became ill with the plague, Julie and I nursed them until their eventual deaths. The young man, Jonathon became more emotional and was on a path of self destruction, he had an ability that he

Download or read book Trauma Journalism written by Mark H. Massé and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-10-06 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of journalists in covering trauma and tragedy isn't new. Witnessing acts of violence, destruction and terror has long been the professional responsibility of countless print and broadcast reporters and photographers. But what is new is a growing awareness of the emotional consequences of such coverage on the victims, their families and loved ones, their communities, and on the journalists whose job it is to tell these stories. Trauma Journalism personalizes this movement with in-depth profiles of reporters, researchers and trauma experts engaged in an international effort to transform how the media work under the most difficult of conditions. Through biographical sketches concerning several significant traumatic events (Oklahoma City bombing, Columbine school tragedy, 9/11, Iraq War, the South Asian tsunami, Hurricane Katrina), students and working reporters will gain insights into the critical components of contemporary journalism practices affecting news judgment, news gathering techniques, as well as legal and ethical issues. Trauma Journalism calls for the creation - through ongoing education - of a culture of caring among journalists worldwide.
