My conception towards life has been a fight since I was a child until now as an adult. Not born into money, or wealth as they say. I have tried to do a good job making a living for myself. Though I am an artist (painter), as you know, artists starve. I am a songwriter but that too in today''s age is very hard to accomplish. I have been a poetry writer since I was a child and I have been writing since the first grade. My dream is to have a gallery to teach art, songwriting, and poetry writing. I started a business called Chances of America. It is a non-profit for mental health. Please donate to Chances of America. We as United States citizens have to stick together with our family as well as our country. We, as humans, love our freedom.

Donors, leaders of nonprofits, and public policy makers usually have the best of intentions to serve society and improve social conditions. But often their solutions fall far short of what they want to accomplish and what is truly needed. Moreover, the answers they propose and fund often produce the opposite of what they want over time. We end up with temporary shelters that increase homelessness, drug busts that increase drug-related crime, or food aid that increases starvation. How do these unintended consequences come about and how can we avoid them? By applying conventional thinking to complex social problems, we often perpetuate the very problems we try so hard to solve, but it is possible to think differently, and get different results. Systems Thinking for Social Change enables readers to contribute more effectively to society by helping them understand what systems thinking is and why it is so important in their work. It also gives concrete guidance on how to incorporate systems thinking in problem solving, decision making, and strategic planning without becoming a technical expert. Systems thinking leader David Stroh walks readers through techniques he has used to help people improve their efforts to end homelessness, improve public health, strengthen education, design a system for early childhood development, protect child welfare, develop rural economies, facilitate the reentry of formerly incarcerated people into society, resolve identity-based conflicts, and more. The result is a highly readable, effective guide to understanding systems and using that knowledge to get the results you want.

A Zombie Apocalypse Saga on a massive scale and with a twist. The Antichrist is emerging into the land and upon the Great Metropolis sent by Belial and Satan. Its name is the Angel of the Abyss or Abaddon. Abaddon is a first tier demon and one of the Princes of Darkness. It is the Antichrist personified in the Book of Revelations by the Apostle Saint John. It is at war with the Demon Merihem another powerful denizen of Hell that was banished by Satan to live and to wreck havoc and untold destruction on humankind. Merihem is the Lord of Pestilence and Plague creating the Zombie Apocalypse, contagion and the viral affliction that threatens to extirpate the human race from the planet. Merihem was once, and still is, one of the all-powerful first tier demons. He was cast out of hell and heaven with only one way at Redemption. That was bringing forth the total destruction of ''man''. Of humankind. No matter what the cost. Merihem resided on Earth, for a time, bringing doom to all who stood in his way. His powers are those to cause pestilence and disease. He killed millions of innocents however Satan and Lucifer and Abaddon refused to take him back to Hell. One night while meditating, Merihem was attacked by the Archangels which included Michael, Raphael and Gabriel who were determined to stop him, no matter what. They failed. Now he lives on Earth once more and has, in this Saga full of horror, thrilling suspense, some romance and a cast of fanatical and ruthless human characters that struggle with the Zombification of their city and their land, created from out of a vast and malevolent Forest that covers and surrounds the capital City an Army of the Undead. The Walking Dead or Zombies that run amuck in their millions as the populace is decimated by the affliction. The only way to stop the Undead is by decapitation. Colonel Karl Laforce opens the dystopian horror by travelling to a remote University buried in the wilds of this dank and latently brooding Forest of Evil. He is on military furlough to advance his studies in the Law and falls in love with two beautiful and intoxicating women, Rachel and Sapphira. Then Juliette arrives having escaped from the metropolis and capital as she was once involved in the Ravachol Drug Cartel. A vast Criminal Organisation that virtually controls de facto a huge swathe of the city called the ''Iron Triangle'' that the authorities have been unable to control. As the Zombie infestation gathers momentum in the Forest these and other characters, namely, Balthasar Brandmayer who is Laforce''s best friend and military comrade in the city Defence Forces, stumble upon a vast and perniciously evil subterranean cave complex buried beneath the Forest that holds incalculable horror as to the imminent emergence of the Antichrist. The stage is set for Armageddon as Laforce, his two eye candy lovers, Brandmayer and a mysterious and ravishingly beautiful teenage girl by the name of Milena, all head back to the Great Metropolis to aid the new Government and ruler who is General Lorenz Ritter Von Stransky. They become embroiled not only in a fight to the death with the Zombie hordes but also in a coup d''etat that sees General Von Stransky overcome and brutally annihilate the Drug Cartels making him the new Chancellor of the Land which is set in the future. But it is too late as the Angel of the Abyss is about to emerge. Abaddon breaks free and unleashes its own army of Antichrist serpents or locusts that vex and chastise both the zombies and the human populace. The stage is set for the final Apocalyptic countdown to utter catastrophe as man fights zombie, zombie fights the Antichrist and Abaddon is determined to annihilate them all in an orgy of Wagnerian inspired destruction that would make the Twilight of the Gods, his Gotterdammerung, pale to insignificance as the loyal troops of the Great Metropolis fight to the last man, the last bullet and to their dying breath in unalterable and ruthless fanaticism.

This manual aims to provide an overview of the major land issues that may arise following a natural disaster which need to be considered and included in the decision-making processes associated with response, recovery and rehabilitation. The disasters included in this discussion are hydrometeorological disasters (such as floods, drought, tropical cyclones, storm surges and tornadoes) and geophysical disasters (such as earthquakes, tsunamis, avalanches and landslides). Most of these disasters are rapid onset and cause extensive loss of life, loss of livelihoods and damage to infrastructure. Drought, a slow-onset disaster, also is considered in these training materials because of its severe global impact and because there are particular land tenure issues associated with extended and recurrent droughts.--Publisher's description

Peter David, a creative force in television, and a best-selling author of comics and novels, has created a fantasy world sure to delight his legions of readers. The Damned World is home to twelve races, each of which has fought the others for survival for generations. What none of them knows is that they are all creatures of Earth, a world of legend. On Earth eleven of the twelve races were creatures of human myth or folklore. All live in awe of the all-powerful Overseer, whose authority none dare challenge. A new spirit has arisen among those sick of war and tired of living in fear. Some believe that it is possible for the races to become allies instead of adversaries. With this new spirit has come a time of possibility, of change. Jepp, a human woman and Karsen, a Bottom Feeder, have broken with tradition and cast their lots together. They seek the Orb of Light, with which they believe they can gain the power and release the Damned World from its chains of violence and ignorance. But they’re not alone, for everyone who knows about the Orb would kill to get it. If someone gets the Orb, things will change. These are, as the proverb warns, interesting times.
