Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Sergeant Al Ramon and Officer Luis Mendez know that policing New York City essentially means managing chaos. The volume of radio calls for police service makes it virtually impossible to patrol and enforce the law for every infraction of state penal law. Beneath the city, policing is even more challenging. Officers patrolling Transit Manhattan South face the same hazards as street crime cops, but the tunnels and trains make it much more difficult to affect an apprehension; the transit systems provides criminals with an elaborate labyrinth that help them elude to police.When Sergeant Ramon is ordered to tighten discipline and improve the transit cops' performance through the N.Y.P.D's tickets and arrests quotas, he faces a tough decision: motivate 'activity' or lose his job due to department budget cuts.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - God often chooses ordinary people to perform extraordinary feats. He causes the humble to be exalted while bringing the proud to their knees. He blesses the poor while stripping wealth from the wicked. The weak become strong while the strength of the mighty crumbles. God has always astounded mankind with miraculous intervention and displays of omnipotent power. Using scripture and human insight, I have tried to paint a verbal protrait of some of the people God used in biblical times. Some were people who rejected Jesus in spite of His best efforts to save them. Some had great influence and authority. Others were ordinary people with weaknesses, fears and doubts who accepted God's call and persevered with a strength born of faith. They were people who were touched by Heaven, people just like you and me.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Perhaps you thought it was fantasy. Perhaps you thought it was a ruse. Perhaps you thought it was the actions of an immature heart and love that had yet to be 'educated' by reality. Wrong! Actually your first answer was right. Now you have to be unschooled and learn love all over again, and you might want to start here at that foundation of love. But you forgot, after all it only lasted a couple of seconds, a couple of days and then that place that those eyes took you disappeared like a mirage. You no longer have what it takes to graduate to love's stage seven. Don't worry, Illuminations will take you back.If infatuation is oft the cornerstone with which we set the foundation of love, why do we throw away that foundation when we build the school of our convictions as to what love is But remember when we thought a love was perfect and we thought that love was supreme Remember when we thought love would find ourselves in a perfect plot and we could reside there forever Remember when love was the most beautiful thing in existence and so was our love Might I ask, what is wrong with that And if there is nothing wrong with that, why isn't it considered right If the school of love in which the world learns fails, and we are unable to graduate to love's better vision. If indeed, we fail to take our love to a higher grade, perhaps we aught to find a better school. Love instinctively knows better, and the new foundation upon which love will be reschooled goes back to our original convictions when we thought love was perfect, that love was supreme, that love would deliver and that love is perfect.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - It's not what you think. You may have heard Casanova's legend, but have you heard his heart Could you read between the lines of the playwright who wrote the play Casanova and why he assumes that role of his character given the power of Cupid's bow and arrow But he is just like you and I. After all, we all use the power of the bow and arrow in some form, whether through beauty, power, or wit. And we use that power to some extent to shapes love's stage.

But unfortunately there are desires and motivations which we know not of, and nor do we know where they are from. In fact, we just don't know ourselves. If you were given all the power of the bow and arrow, how would you act Is there any guarantee that your aim would be any better than the blind whims of Cupid Especially in a world where love loves to hide, mask itself in indifference and most of all, act. We will quickly learn that the real story is what is happening behind the stage, under the stage, in the earth deep below the stage, over the stage, behind the pen, inside the heart, in the heavens, and in that place so distant and so far back-a place called home. This is a story dictated by characters with no roles, stars with no spoken parts, no cameos, and no love shared at all. Something happened that moved Casanova's heart. It moved the characters on the stage, and it is about to move the heavens. It seems today that the earth is shaking and the ground is moving, and it is getting more frequent. You had better check your foundations like Casanova did. If our house is unsteady, perhaps we might want to check here, and it might just heal the world.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Probably the only reason I became a licensee was that it was one of the few jobs we had heard our father talk about as children. All the local news came from the village pub, in the village nearly ten miles away, where my father would cycle at the end of each month when he received his salary cheque. We lived at the end of the world on the edge of a cliff, and the five of us were known collectively as the lighthouse children.Life Behind Bars relates the years following my return to Ireland at the age of twenty-one. Living a life behind bars was in total contrast to my childhood and early teens. After a short time working behind a bar in Dublin I was off again, to answer an advertisement for bar staff in Jersey, the larger of the Channel Islands.In Jersey I met my wife-to-be, who was a nurse in the Island hospital. Her name was Susan Teed. We married in March, 1969, exactly ten years after my compulsory exit from my world of lighthouses and raging seas. We settled in Guernsey, her island home, where I pursued my quest to be a publican and Susan carried on with her career in nursing at the local hospital.In the subsequent years we had three beautiful daughters named Michelle, Gaynor, and Laura. For the next twenty or so years we worked very hard bringing up our girls. My wife worked the night shift at the hospital and I worked days repairing electric domestic appliances, and worked in bars and restaurants on my wife's nights off.During this time I trained hard to fulfil my dream should the opportunity arise.I became head steward at the Guernsey Yacht Club and later the tenant of a pub called the Prince of Wales, by which time I had a good basic knowledge of the business side of being a landlordIn 1987 I left Guernsey on my own to take up what at the time seemed like the chance of a lifetime; a position in Hertfordshire as a pub manager for a large brewery. Once I had settled in I sent for my wife and children, but my eldest girl Michelle, who already had secured a job in the news media, stayed behind to fulfil the ambition she had held since she was a little girl.It wasn't long before my dream of being a licensee started to turn into a nightmare, as my training as a publican did not address drugs. I'm not sure whether it was my naivety or arrogance that made me believe I could turn a beautiful local pub back to what it used to be-I had deluded myself into thinking I'd be able to alter something that was shuffling for a space in the pub leisure business. By the time I became aware of the problem, it had already taken a firm grip on the recreation clientele in the UK.My first job was to convince those who used my establishment and were involved in the drug trade that it was not my policy to judge them, but to uphold the law as far as drug use inside my pub was concerned, and I made it clear that it was also my family home. But saying that, it wasn't all doom and gloom; out of my pig headedness regarding the drugs issue there came a minuscule amount of respect for me and my family and we enjoyed the company of some lovely people-people who appreciated what we were doing for their local. They enjoyed Susan's good food and the free entertainment. They at least seemed to be oblivious to the dark shadow that hung over us.At weekends my youngest daughter would help me to collect glasses, and if she saw anything that smelt remotely like a joint she would say loudly, 'If my dad sees you smoking that he'll do a mental.' And the reply would sometimes be'Don't get your knickers in a twist, Laura, we're going outside.'.…
