Book excerpt: Helene Fischer is a professional killer who arrives in West Cumbria with instructions to shoot dead 12 people. She has two specific targets, the other ten are chosen at random. Accompanying Helene is Nasseem Ahmed, a computer hacker who is peculiarly averse to the sight of blood. The final shooting takes place at a kart circuit near Rowrah is clearly an example of world class marksmanship. Such precision convinces police that they are dealing with professionals. Henceforth, it all turns into a car-crash in more ways than one as investigations spread out to three different countries. Who has organised the hits? Could it be the high flying financier Sir Robin Coleridge-Smythe, or perhaps Jose Luis Gonzaleze, an American racing car boss? Both have strong links to one of the victims. TV Presenter Fiona Dunne asks some searching questions that eventually lead to a libel trial in the Royal Courts of Justice. However, it is Detective Sergeant Lisa Robb who finally arrives at the answer and her conclusions will shock many readers.

Download or read book Unmasking the Deception of Dysfunction written by James J. Teuton and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James compiled "Unmasking the Deception of Dysfunction" as the Holy Spirit began to reveal to him the depth of dysfunction. In this project he takes the reader on a thought-provoking journey through the hills and valleys of one's personal life. As time went on he began to see how dysfunction affects people across all areas including government, education, military, ministry, family, and the work place. This revelation gave him, as it were, a moving screen showing how the ball of dysfunction rolls along from childhood into adulthood and the role of leadership. The current book "Unmasking the Deception of Dysfunction" goes into a much different direction by pointing out how dysfunctional deception is so wide spread that it knows no limitations and thwarts the boundaries into the leadership arena. James' goal, as a writer, in his signature writing style, has become one of having the reader examine him or herself by purposefully-placed questions throughout the book. It is his desire that by using the tools revealed herein a person is challenged to become more complete in his/her leadership role.

Download or read book Self Deception Unmasked written by Alfred R. Mele and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-deception raises complex questions about the nature of belief and the structure of the human mind. In this book, Alfred Mele addresses four of the most critical of these questions: What is it to deceive oneself? How do we deceive ourselves? Why do we deceive ourselves? Is self-deception really possible? Drawing on cutting-edge empirical research on everyday reasoning and biases, Mele takes issue with commonplace attempts to equate the processes of self-deception with those of stereotypical interpersonal deception. Such attempts, he demonstrates, are fundamentally misguided, particularly in the assumption that self-deception is intentional. In their place, Mele proposes a compelling, empirically informed account of the motivational causes of biased beliefs. At the heart of this theory is an appreciation of how emotion and motivation may, without our knowing it, bias our assessment of evidence for beliefs. Highlighting motivation and emotion, Mele develops a pair of approaches for explaining the two forms of self-deception: the "straight" form, in which we believe what we want to be true, and the "twisted" form, in which we believe what we wish to be false. Underlying Mele's work is an abiding interest in understanding and explaining the behavior of real human beings. The result is a comprehensive, elegant, empirically grounded theory of everyday self-deception that should engage philosophers and social scientists alike.

Download or read book Discern False Prophets written by Kenneth Kanu and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is so much confusion today concerning who is a true prophet and who is a false prophet. God has not kept us in dark on any issue of life. The working of miracles and performing signs and wonders have been seen as a prove that someone is a prophet, but Jesus said in Matt 24:24 that false prophets will rise and will perform many signs and wonders that if care is not taken, even the elects will be deceived. If signs and wonders, miracles are not the yardstick to measure who is a true prophet then the big question is, HOW DO WE KNOW WHO IS A FALSE PROPHET? The author in this book reveals step by step guide on how to know who is a false prophet.

Download or read book On the Value of Money written by Paulo Casaca and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-20 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emphasis is given to the Slutsky Matrix and its associated income and substitution effects, since this is the only existing analytical tool designed to solve the question. This device is shown to be grossly erroneous. I did prove (Casaca, 2020) that the solution present in manuals and taught in economics courses is erroneous. I confirmed the original neo-classic founding father's perception that the problem lies in our inability to keep track of the changing value of money. Other than proving how wrong or useless the elucidations found afterwards are, I could not however find a solution to the problem. That is, I could not prove whether it is possible to track the changing value of money and, if it is, how to achieve this in a meaningful way - or, conversely, to prove the problem has no viable solution.Knowledge on the variation of the value of money is necessary for all the procedures that rely on the separation between 'real' and 'nominal' values - that is, virtually all economic accounting systems. This means that the most revered indicators of economic activity such as 'inflation' or 'economic growth' (GDP variation) are built on erroneous premises and lack any real and objective basis. Simply speaking, this means that the building structure of modern economics is dependent on the possibility of knowing the value of money, or at the very least the patterns of variation of the value of money. The fact that neither goals were attained saps the related scientific basis. This work will end with a discussion of possible venues for a scientific approach to the science of money, side by side with the science of markets.

Download or read book Unmask Alice written by Rick Emerson and published by BenBella Books. This book was released on 2024-07-30 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Unmask Alice by Rick Emerson goes a long way to showing what investigative journalism could be in the right hands . . . this book is undeniably buzzworthy." —Portland Book Review "An absorbing and unnerving read . . . this book demands to be finished in one sitting." —Booklist "One of the must-read books of this century." —Gillian Flynn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Gone Girl Two teens. Two diaries. Two social panics. One incredible fraud. In 1971, Go Ask Alice reinvented the young adult genre with a blistering portrayal of sex, psychosis, and teenage self-destruction. The supposed diary of a middle-class addict, Go Ask Alice terrified adults and cemented LSD's fearsome reputation, fueling support for the War on Drugs. Five million copies later, Go Ask Alice remains a divisive bestseller, outraging censors and earning new fans, all of them drawn by the book's mythic premise: A Real Diary, by Anonymous. But Alice was only the beginning. In 1979, another diary rattled the culture, setting the stage for a national meltdown. The posthumous memoir of an alleged teenage Satanist, Jay's Journal merged with a frightening new crisis—adolescent suicide—to create a literal witch hunt, shattering countless lives and poisoning whole communities. In reality, Go Ask Alice and Jay's Journal came from the same dark place: Beatrice Sparks, a serial con artist who betrayed a grieving family, stole a dead boy's memory, and lied her way to the National Book Awards. Unmask Alice: LSD, Satanic Panic, and the Imposter Behind the World's Most Notorious Diaries is a true story of contagious deception. It stretches from Hollywood to Quantico, and passes through a tiny patch of Utah nicknamed "the fraud capital of America." It's the story of a doomed romance and a vengeful celebrity. Of a lazy press and a public mob. Of two suicidal teenagers, and their exploitation by a literary vampire. Unmask Alice . . . where truth is stranger than nonfiction.

Download or read book The T B Joshua I Know written by Hephzibah Bisola Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2017-04-12 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a compilation of a true-life accounts which took place in a Cult Community called The Synagogue, 'church' of all Nations, Ikotun-Egbe, Lagos, Nigeria; where the author was trapped through hypnotism, and brainwashing for over a decade with other devotees. She documented her journey into this community who use religious garb to cover their nefarious operation in other to lure the naive, vulnerable, gullible, and the innocent into occultism. She narrates how they lived, how they were systemic initiated into the dark world by deceit, and were terrorised to swear allegiance to secrecy. They also became instruments of deception in the hands of T. B. Joshua to deceive visitors to the Synagogue. Finally, her escape was a grand style of Jehovah where others lost their lives. This is purely to EDUCATE people and to give ALL THE GLORY back to God, for His Amazing Saving Grace, His constant Love and His abiding Presence. She said, "If I should denied the world this truth, I became a partaker of evil and Hellfire would have been my eternal abode. I am under obligation and indebted to share; I cannot keep it to myself; it burns in my bones. I will also like to use this as a means of restoring the souls of those who have fallen away due to this global deception of T.B. Joshua." This Book is a societal mirror for everyday people, it is saying that, each one of us has the ability to enter into relationship with God individually without depending on another man as a connector. Jesus Christ has made the way. This is to stand as a guide to the blind, as a warning to the gullible, and as a light to the simple; because what causes people to panic, and run helter skelter in search of an intermediary between them and their Creator is still prevalent in the world, such as sickness, affliction, trouble, confusion, disease, barrenness, joblessness, etcetera. What drives people to run from one prophet to another prophetess both false and genuine, which can cause them to eventually fall into error is still at large. Those things that pressurizes people daily, and can cause them to be knocking on the doors of prayer contractors and spiritual arrangers, intending to cut deals with 'God' if possible; rather than to go on their knees and be calling upon their Creator for Mercy and a turnaround is still thriving in the world today. Evil seems to run rampant everywhere. What we need is Peace in God and holding unto His Word. These agents of satan are only having breakthrough at your breakdown. Beware of miracle peddlers, Beware of false prophets, and Beware of false teachers, Jesus warned. This is their time, Run for your life!

Download or read book Unmasking Ravel written by Peter Kaminsky and published by University Rochester Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collection of critical and analytical scholarly essays on the music of Ravel by prominent scholars. Unmasking Ravel: New Perspectives on the Music fills a unique place in Ravel studies by combining critical interpretation and analytical focus. From the premiere of his works up to the present, Ravel has been associated with masks and the related notions of artifice and imposture. This has led scholars to perceive a lack of depth in his music and, consequently, to discourage investigation of his musical language. This volume balances and interweavesthese modes of inquiry. Part 1, "Orientations and Influences," illuminates the sometimes contradictory aesthetic, biographical, and literary strands comprising Ravel's artistry and our understanding of it. Part 2, "Analytical Case Studies," engages representative works from Ravel's major genres using a variety of methodologies, focusing on structural process and his complex relation to stylistic convention. Part 3, "Interdisciplinary Studies," integratesmusical analysis and art criticism, semiotics, and psychoanalysis in creating novel methodologies. Contributors include prominent scholars of Ravel's and fin-de-siècle music: Elliott Antokoletz, Gurminder Bhogal, Sigrun B. Heinzelmann, Volker Helbing, Steven Huebner, Peter Kaminsky, Barbara Kelly, David Korevaar, Daphne Leong, Michael Puri, and Lauri Suurpää. Peter Kaminsky is Professor of Music at the University of Connecticut, Storrs.
