    Christian and other nurses in the hostile modern and increasingly secular age may feel helpless in an environment that created the Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP) and continues to foster end of life 'care' through sedation and dehydration. The book aims to enlighten both health professionals and the public alike to their rights of conscience and knowledge of the needs of vulnerable patients whether related to ethical care or guidance and the law which can affect them. Indifference to patients'needs and suffering may be injurious to nurses' health all of whom have a conscience. This must be respected, protected and used as a guide to truly care for the patient's benefit, reqardless of laws and professional pathways which may prove harmful to many vunerable patients. The questioning nurse on ethical issues and dilemmas needs consideration, respect and support when attempting to act as the patient advocate. Managers at all levels need to be aware of the concerns of front line nurses and to be mindful that recruitment and retention are both equally important factors for the quality of patient care and nurse morale and work satisfaction. The NHS was a wonderful creation which is only as good as its staff at all levels. Its managers and government ministers must remember that the more authority invested in them, the more the accountability and transparency expected by both health professionals, their patients and the public.

    'When Glass Breaks' is the heart-rending story of Ben Lindenheim, who became separated from his older brother during the Kindertransport, and who lived a life of heroism, trauma, adventure, love, denial, illness, family, failure and lies, but always in the hope of one day being reunited with his brother.Only at the end, does the reader discover the novel is narrated by Helen Painter, as she seeks to piece together fragments of her father's past, most of which he tried to conceal from his family. She knew only that he had a war pension due to a shrapnel injury - he had a scar; that he fought with the Royal Norfolk regiment - or so he said; that he was an army boxing champion - impossible to check out; that he spent a couple of years in South Africa - which may have been true as there were two African-language books on the bookshelves at home; that he was educated at Winchester - but he knew no Latin or Greek; that his family were killed in the Blitz, with one brother dying in North Africa, and which may have included a baby son - something his post-stroke lability let slip; and that he was Jewish - which she knew from her own DNA test, taken long after he died. Nothing much checked out and the family history searches revealed no mention of the surname before his marriage certificate. So, she filled in the blanks, and gave him a past, one which would honour the father with whom she had shared a difficult relationship, largely, she came to acknowledge, due to the psychological scars he bore.¿Anyone who has read 'En Passant' will have become acquainted with Saul Lindenheim, a minor character who has lived for many years with the guilt of being separated from his brother Ben during the Kindertransport and the hope of one day being reunited. 'When Glass Breaks' is the story of Ben's life.

    Tigers, Mountains and Pagodasthe story of a special and adventurous life At the end of 1923 Stanley Robins passed out of Sandhurst as a prize-winning cadet. He was commissioned into the North Staffordshire regiment, at the time based in British India. Stanley was "thrilled" at this posting as he saw army service in India as the gateway to a "special and adventurous life"; and so it turned out to be.In India Stanley became an expert and highly knowledgeable big game hunter, especially of tigers, including man-eaters and gained a deep affinity with the Indian Jungle and its wildlife. He became a lifelong friend of Jim Corbett; the greatest of the big game hunters. Like Jim he was to be an advocate for wildlife conservation and condemned post World War II hunting methods, especially in Africa.Army postings sent Stanley to the dangerous and volatile North-West Frontier, where "no man's life was safe". He was decorated for gallantry in one of the hardest fought operations on the Frontier. Despite the dangers of nearly constant action against the war-like border tribes he gained a deep knowledge of its people, the country and the culture.Whenever military postings allowed he was keen to visit and learn about the India that had put a "spell" on him; its varied peoples, culture and history and to visit the areas of India rarely seen by most Europeans.As international tensions grew in the late 1930s Stanley was transferred to what became the 14h Army in Burma, playing a vital part in the Allied fighting withdrawal from the "Land of Pagodas" and was decorated for his distinguished service. He was the last man out of Rangoon and the first through the Taukkyan Roadblock, by which the Japanese army hoped to trap Allied forces in Burma, in their lightning campaign.During the Allied liberation of Burma Stanley was personally selected by General Slim, commander of the 14th Army, to ensure effective, critical and growing logistical support for Allied forces, US, Chinese and British, in their advance against the JapaneseAt Indian independence Stanley's actions and decisions on that day prevented what might have been a massacre of Europeans and loyal Indian Army soldiers at Nagpur.

Enjoy and get ready to go on a whirlwind, remember this book was not only written for you, but it was made for you!

    90 SECONDS TO MIDNIGHTOn January 23rd 2023 'The Doomsday Clock' used by atomic Scientists to evaluate how far our world is from nuclear destruction was moved forwards to '90 seconds to midnight' which indicates that mankind has again entered a time period of unprecedented danger.In the 1970's NASA's Pioneer satellites discovered a new planetary body in the far regions of our solar system using its infrared equipment. NASA growing concerned about how this planet would affect our world sent out another infrared satellite named IRAS in 1983 to scan the universe in infrared. Its 10 month mission re-discovered the planetary body called Planet 10 or X in Roman numerals. This Planet is already having a disastrous effect on the earth due to its huge size and gravitational pull but can only be seen by cryogenically cooled equipment.Not only is the Earth under threat from this intruder Planet, NASA is tracking a number of near earth objects, the highest threat coming from the asteroid Apophis which will either skim past the earth on Friday 13th April 2029 or crash into us creating a series of near extinction events.Realising that people would need an explanation on why severe earth changes were happening The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was formed in 1988 to provide a false but believable narrative and gain the time needed for alternative power structures to take shape. These are; The Bilderburg Group, The World Economic Forum, The United Nations and the World Health Organisation who are now positioning themselves to become a future government-in waiting dominating our own democratically elected national governments when these catastrophic events play out.This world government will be controlled by a man the bible calls the Antichrist who will run a new financial system based on Central Bank Digital Currencies. This system will go global by 2030 and will replace all cash and card transactions. No-one will be able to buy or sell without his evil mark. Just before this system in fully operational Christian believers will be caught up to meet Christ in the air in an event called 'The Rapture' just before a terrible time on earth lasting seven years called ' The Great Tribulation' begins.This Book will also look at how the Vaccine injured are being completely ignored.

    Without doubt, our country has some of the most beautiful scenery and best places to visit in Europe. The Yorkshire Dales and moors, Wales, and the stunningly beautiful Scotland amongst them. More and more people are also beginning to realise that one of the best ways to see this beauty is by travelling in a motorhome. There is nothing better than to find a nice spot on Dartmoor and camp up for a few days, with a stream running nearby, the country sounds of sheep, wild deer and cattle grazing feet away, or to book at one of the many hundreds of pretty resorts around the country. All from a self-contained home on wheels, with all facilities onboard! The only problem historically is that a lot of the local councils didn't want us camping on their patch. Fortunately the tide is turning; with more people buying motorhomes now, more councils are accommodating us. With solar panels and all facilities onboard, why pay hundreds of pounds to sit on a patch of grass when we can park right by the beach? There are many pleasant and attractive places around the country; unlike France they don't all have welcoming Aires, but they are slowly coming around to it.My book covers just a few of these little gems around the country from Cornwall to Kent, from Kent up to Hadrian's Wall. From Pembrokeshire in Wales to the Lake District... seek and explore!

It begins in the small town of La Garenne home to the Ducs of Garenne and their ancestors for more than six hundred years. La Garenne was a place where nothing much ever happened. Even the French Revolution had passed by the town. That is until the suspicious death of a national hero, a man from the town known to all and the subsequent death of his mentor the Duc de Garenne. There was also the unexplained disappearance of a famous hunting dog, Hugo Hound once owned by both of these men.Then the nation was gripped by the news that a patrol of gendarmes from La Garenne had "vanished off the face of the earth" at least according to their local commandant. A young officer was dispatched from Paris to investigate and discovered that all these events had a common link, the dog, Hugo Hound. To his bewilderment, his orders are changed by the Head of Gendarmerie in Paris. He must now also find Hugo Hound. He finds himself protecting not only Hugo but Hugo's companions including talking bears and lions!He also meets once again Catherine, whom he had helped rescue from the chaotic aftermath of Waterloo. She and her cousin are far more involved with his task than he could ever have imagined. On a voyage across France to the safety of the Pyrenees, once home to these special beings, he and his charges are pursued by evil in the form of a Werewolf, once the leader of the 'lost patrol' and the renegade son of the late Duc de Garenne, brother to Catherine.

    This book is a diverse read offering chapters covering multiple subjects, but all linked into the same theme. It explores many of the things we have been misinformed about in mainstream media, education and religion. A chapter by chapter in depth look at various subjects that challenge what we think we know. It ultimately proposes an alternative way of thinking, and assessing what we have all been informed of through different platforms. The book explores the author and some of the key things that have affected his life, guiding him to this point now where he wants to share some of his experiences. This includes his love of spirituality and the guidance that has been provided to him throughout his life. It's an often-humorous story with honest snippets from youth through to adulthood. It explores all the good and bad aspects of the human experience and his acceptance that it is all part of the journey. The second chapter covers our recent technological boom. This explores the authors thoughts on how we have progressed so quickly over the last 100 years with a thought-provoking challenge as an explanation. A look at our history and all the many holes in what we have been informed about through education and religion, that frankly do not hold up now with science- throwing curve balls into our previous understanding of our past. The chapter covers such things as structural anomalies around the world, our true origins and the various differing species of humanity that have occupied this planet, and many more issues the author has found through his investigations. Through Government disclosure and personal accounts, the next chapter looks at the subject of 'are we alone in this universe'? Starting way back in history and finishing right up to date it looks at the overwhelming evidence that would suggest we are not alone, from witness reports, abduction cases to crop circles. This chapter provides some compelling and fact-based evidence to support the authors ideas. Following on from the previous chapter the author looks at our planet and its place in the universe, covering the mind-boggling numbers that are attached to the incredible size of the known universe, and our tiny insignificant place within it. It further highlights the facts presented in the previous chapter that discusses are we truly alone in a universe that is difficult to comprehend with its true and enormous size. Moving away from historical information the author comes right up to date with a chapter about the modern world. He questions that have we really got it right? , and has life truly improved with all the stress and mental health issues being highlighted these days. An example being emails. Emails were meant to make life quicker and easier, yet in reality they have had a negative effect. Regardless of whether you work in an office or a building site, you have to factor into your daily life time to look at and respond to emails. It's something twenty-five years ago did not exist, but the world still worked, giving us something else to factor into what is not enough time in most people's day. It was
