Outside the facility, the peace laws must be observed. For a hundred and fifty points, you can spend an hour with a designated scapegoat. No one outside will ever know what you do there. You are encouraged to shout, to complain, to cry, if it will help to calm you. For two hundred points, you may strike them. They will never strike back. Abrasions, heavy bruising, first degree burns, are five hundred. The scapegoats will endure it and they will never name you or your... needs. A few thousand if your rage requires you to break a bone. Scapegoats are not law-abiding like you. They deserve it.

N65 was designed to give the US and its allies the upper hand by decimating its enemies' young and intelligent citizens, leaving only those with fewer neurons—the elderly, the limited, the psychotic—behind.

Evelyn Amdur, a hospice social worker, began to write these stories midway through her career, collaborating with her daughter, Shelley. Many traditional cultures have a custom of "death songs", which rest on the idea that at one's last moment, one somehow sums up the essence of one's life in a phrase or a song. Woven into these stories are instructions on how to die well, not only in what spirit we face death itself, but also through instructions on what is necessary to prepare our families, to ready our estates, and to manage all the players who may be involved in our deaths.

It is with great pleasure that we are able to retell the stories, first published as Forty Delicious Years, of 40 varied travelers who have Murni and Murni's Warung in common. We initially compiled these recollections in 2014 on the 40th anniversary of Murni's opening of Murni's Warung in Ubud, Bali, the first international-style restaurant in Ubud. We have renamed this volume So Many Delicious Years and Murni has added a number of recipes. We are pleased to mention that Forty Delicious Years won the prestigious Gourmand Award in 2019.

Set in the autumn of 1973, The Mongrel is a lean, dark adventure, not only of things that go bump in the night, but of things with sharp teeth and sharper claws.

This rendition of my encounters is a simple, pared-down telling of every paranormal encounter I have ever had - all 40+ years' worth. Since I'm extremely private, putting myself out there is not easy for me. As far as proper grammar goes, please bear with me. I’m a simple Southern girl from the USA, and the way I speak and write might not be proper, but it is me. I did work with an editor to make it more intelligible, but I was reticent about having my Southerners' style removed entirely. My prose may not sound correct at times, but that’s just who I am.

When a nuclear missile is launched from somewhere in the east - North Korea or China - communications from other parts of the earth ceased. Thirty years later, civilization still struggles to become redefined. A new society has formed with new rules. Those that follow the rules can hope for a few years of comfort.

Can this family survive the truth? Closure should have come swiftly with the funeral and nailing of the casket, but instead of finding peace, the old man’s death reopened old wounds left to fester for decades. Sahar Abdulaziz’s haunting women’s contemporary fiction novel, As One Door Closes, is a stark and dramatic testament to the devastation that comes with hiding sexual abuse, and protecting the "secret" rather than the victim. Will five very different women finally heal the damage, bring closure, and bury the secrets they have been forced to carry and protect?

Your loved one’s Dementia impairs her ability to think, reason, and remember. Patients no longer recognize reality and often engage in difficult, irrational, and sometimes dangerous behavior.
