Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The working world of air traffic controllers is filled with extreme pressure and stress, and for women controllers, sexual harassment. It is an atmosphere author Samantha Sims was caught in during her more than twenty years as an air traffic controller at an air route traffic control center in Miami, Florida, from 1990 to 2014. In CQ, CQ My Last Transmission, she tells her story. From her growing up years being bullied, to serving in the Navy, to her twenty-year career with the FAA, this memoir narrates Sims life story. She tells how she could no longer endure the pervasive abuse handed out by male controllers and how she decided to stand up to the bullies and blow the whistle about what was happening on the job. CQ, CQ My Last Transmission discusses how Sims survived the toxic environment to get her story out in the open. When the nondisclosure clause was missing from her out-of-court settlement with the FAA, she forced the secrets to be divulged. She shares her journal so others still caught in the system can get the relief they deserve.

Contacted that evening by a coworker and advised to seek help from Dr. Beecham to re-earn her medical certification to return to work, she was blindsided by what the Psychologist said to her in their first meeting, As he shook her hand Dr. Beecham said, ”It is a pleasure to meet the infamous Samantha Sims. Do you ever feel paranoid at work?” “Yes,” she replied. “Well, don’t ever lose that feeling. I can’t give you names, dates, times or places, but they have beat the crap out of you in there.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the nature of causation? How is causation linked with explanation? And can there be an adequate theory of explanation?

Part 1 of this book explores Hume's views on causation, theories of singular causation, and counterfactual and mechanistic approaches. Part 2 considers the regularity view of laws and laws as relations among universals, as well as recent alternative approaches to laws. Part 3 examines the issues arising from deductive-nomological explanation, statistical explanation, the explanation of laws and the metaphysics of explanation.

Download or read book Menace From the Past written by James Alan Anderson and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2023-07-27 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it possible to ever truly escape one’s past? For thirteen-year-old Matthew and his girlfriend Melissa, who are finally free from the dominance of a repressive religious cult, the Philadelphia Brethren, the answer seems to be no. Even though they are now members of loving adoptive families, the teens still have to deal with some troublesome lingering issues from their past lives. Melissa harbours a deep resentment towards her fanatically religious former parents for depriving her of a happy and carefree childhood. They had subjected her to years of mental and physical abuse, social isolation, and denial of personal freedoms. Matthew struggles with anxious thoughts about the safety of his loved ones and is having frightful nightmares about his demented ex-stepmother Vivian. To make matters worse, their otherwise idyllic 1960s Saskatchewan community is put on edge following attempts on both Melissa’s life and another innocent young person. Matthew’s graphic nightmares begin to overwhelm him as they resurrect painful memories of his troubled past, a past that he is desperately trying to forget. Matthew also believes that a few of those nightmares could actually be real-life excursions into horrific alternate realities where the familiar concepts of time and space become disjointed and incomprehensible. Menace From the Past is the fifth book in the Threefold Cord series that follows the story of the adopted sons in the Adamson family who are all religious cult “refugees” and it is the first in the series to be narrated by Matthew. A bonus supplement is also featured, Camp Purgatory, where Matthew recounts the last few weeks of his former life in the Philadelphia Brethren church when he and his best friend Danny were subjected to intensive religious indoctrination at a summer youth camp.
