With her ex-husband imprisoned for embezzlement, the pampered Virginia Fleetman relocates to an inherited mountainside property expecting to live in a newly-finished vacation home. Instead she finds a half-finished foundation with the builder Drew Tippet and her twelve-year-old daughter Cody living inside. Drew has been planning a new life too, but after the checks stopped coming, she is forced to make the basement a refuge. When Virginia orders Drew and her daughter out, a cascade of life-altering events inextricably binds them together. Cody's visions and premonitions, after nearly drowning, make her wonder if anyone, including her own mother, believes her. Drew, with a broken back and ankle--and a worsening dependence on pain medication--struggles to forgive herself. Above all, if they're to have a home before winter, all three must work together to build a house atop the foundation. Tiny House, Big Mountain is a coming-of-age novel set in the fictional town of Brookway, Vermont where magical realism is woven with betrayal, addiction, and recovery through the bonds of friendship, family, and community.

The Divine Human is the human nature made divine. It is the destiny of all of humanity. The human nature, when made divine by regeneration is the corporeal sensual aspect of the self raised to the spiritual perspective of the higher-self. The intellectual aspect of the mind becomes spiritually regenerated, and then the will begins to feel divine. Our intellectual nature when made spiritual, is termed the "church." It represents our ability to will spiritual love to others as mutual-love.The goal of the Divine Human is a celestial "church," when humanity begins to feel loved. This is accomplished by the expansion of the spiritual "church" when it takes on the additional affection of charity, and the sensation of conjugial love gets implanted into the will. The experience is like Cosmic Consciousness or when the intellect gets absorbed into the One Mind. Yet, it is not until the will gets united to the One Body do we begin to feel divine. This experience is like a Samadhi realization when all sense of time and space gets removed from our memory as we unite as One.The entire process is humankind's destiny as the Age of Aquarius comes into being. We are all transformed while we sleep, and everyone both good and evil get purified as a result. Innocence gets restored to the affection of love, and the world begins to reflect the spiritual plane resulting in peace on earth, as the oneness of the Divine Human.

The Phaistós disc is the oldest literary work of "Europe"The complexity of the hieroglyphic representation on the Phaistós disc reveals an extremely refined cultural and artistic quality. In the writer's opinion, it is of fundamental importance as indeed it represents the oldest European literary expression. It conveys a message that has come to us from the depths of time, from the beginnings of Western culture and marks the boundary between a before and an after, between prehistory and history. The search for Ariadne's thread in the quest to understand the meaning of what is transcribed there is therefore an imperative historical and cultural necessityThis research was able to demonstrate how the hieroglyphic sequence of the Phaistós disc unfolds in a linear direction along the path of the spirals, starting from the centre towards the periphery, that is, from left to right; to end finally with the line marked with five stylus dots. The current vulgate on the right-to-left writing direction, from the outside towards the centre of the disc, deduced from 2 or 5 overlappings, is definitively overcome by two details never considered up to now: 1) the deformation of some signs, caused by the punching of the sign on their right; 2) the retouching-scratch of the intersection line between A XIV and A XIII, with the series of parallel scratch interrupted by the countersinking of the five dots, placed on the presumed opening line, which the photographic enlargement reveals instead to be the text closing line.In March 2018, by means of photographic enlargements, the author finally discovers on the Phaistós' disc a detail never considered by anyone, which proves in an incontrovertible way the direction of writing from left to right, from the centre to the periphery of the disc. Further and significant confirmations of the right-handed direction of writing are the word corrections, constantly retouched on the right end of the same.To this is added a detail hitherto never noticed by anyone:the combination of a two-factor system regarding the oblique strokeand the hypothesis of Minoan verses and strophes: a) ternarysetting of the phrases/verses (sections) constituting a strophe,b) cadence of the oblique stroke coinciding with the initial part to theleft of these sections (verses and strophes).

Then the angel said to me, "Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb!" And he added, "These are the true words of God." Revelation 19:9 NIV We have all sinned and despite all our efforts, we have all failed to save ourselves, remove the stains of our guilt, ease our burdens, and heal our pain. Despite all our efforts, we have not defeated death. In fact, we cannot of ourselves forgive our own sins or take away our guilt and shame. Jesus Christ offers this invitation: "Come to me all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28 NLT. That rest is Shabbat, also known as the Sabbath. The Sabbath is the most misunderstood word, commandment, day, provision, and gift of God. Christ's mission was clearing the guilt and forgiving sinners. His was a mission of reconciliation, Mercy, and Grace from the very beginning as the Sabbath promotes. Christ affirmed his authority by aligning himself with the Sabbath in this bold claim. "If you had known what these words mean, 'I will have mercy not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the innocent. For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath." Matthew 12:7-8 NIVThis is God's invitation for all to come and experience what so many including Sabbatarians have been missing or misunderstood regarding the significance of the Sabbath in helping us to recognize and fully appreciated God's great love for all. A day has been set aside for you to "...realize that the Sabbath is the Lord's gift to you, and you are Invited to know and experience it.

Iowa FEDs: Practical Iowa Residential and Mobile Home Eviction Law provides guidance to Iowa magistrates, attorneys, landlords and tenants in navigating the maze of FED law and proceedings. It is both a treatise on the law of forcible entry and detainer and a practical guide to defending and prosecuting residential and mobile home evictions. Iowa FEDs gives a basic overview of each topic, as well as numerous detailed checklists, then gives detailed explanations with copious citations to statute and precedent and includes magistrate and district court rulings, example orders and sample lease language. Iowa FEDs discusses the proper parties for FEDs, both for the plaintiff and defendant and discusses the processes necessary for the eviction of tenants, licensees, subtenants and squatters. Service and notice, which are the most frequent grounds for dismissal of FEDs, are carefully explained. All of the different types of FEDs are covered in detail, including unpaid rent, holdover, lease/statute violation, clear and present danger, licensee (Bernet v Rogers), squatter as well as tenant FEDs, mortgage foreclosure, land contract and tax deeds. Iowa FEDs gives extensive coverage of 562B FEDs for mobile home lots and gives a complete explanation of mobile home abandonment and disposal. Not a rule book, Iowa FEDs aims to give not only a topical discussion of the applicable statutes and precedent, but also to provide the conceptual tools necessary to resolve any legal question, whether routine or of first impression, that arises in any FED action in an efficient, just and practical manner for the court and litigants. Christopher S Warnock has been an attorney since 1990 and a member of the Iowa Bar since 2008. He specializes in landlord tenant law and has been counsel in many major Iowa landlord tenant cases.

The Great Wars brought fire from the skies and genetic manipulation to the masses in the name of preservation. Many decades have passed and the radiation fused with the mutagens in the veins of the survivors so that their offspring began to develop strange abilities. Species of animals and even plants gained intelligence and either joined forces with others in an effort to survive in this harsh new world, or became the threats that others feared. Rummaging for ancient technological weapons and gear is a dangerous task, but without these devices the odds of survival are slim. Find yourself a band of like-minded individuals and work together to stay alive!Simple Apocalypse is a game of survival in a post-apocalyptic future world where you can play as a Legacy Human descended from the people who managed to make it into underground fallout shelters, or play a humanoid who's genetic makeup somehow managed to get blended with an animal. You could also play as an Insectoid, more bug than human, or an animal or plant that's had its evolution advanced to human equivalence. Simple Apocalypse uses the Simple Sixes Revised rules set, a mechanic that uses 2d6 plus skill and other modifiers against a target number.

Our actions and reactions in life come from the core of who we are - our heart. It drives us every day, either towards good or bad. We can't deny or hide who we are. God is after our heart. He wants our heart to depend on Him and desire His truth. We all need to ask ourselves:- How willing am I to allow God to transform my heart?- Am I willing to let go of any blockers that stand in the way of God's transformation in me?If we are willing to change, then we will be open to see the role of our heart in a new way. As we understand God's relationship to our heart, we are able to grow and to live out the destiny that He has for us.

During World War Two, there was a Commando craze that swept the country. It was during this time period that every segment of society appeared to be receiving Commando "type" training. Individuals from the Boy Scouts to War Workers to members of Law Enforcement were receiving it on some level. This book is an examination of how individuals trained in those methods may have utilized that training for nefarious purposes during the postwar era. What has been looked at in some detail is how "Kill or Be Killed" became "Killing is my Business". What is also discussed is how individuals such as S. R. Linck, who taught these unarmed defense tactics, did their part in making sure that the populace had some knowledge of how to defend themselves if the country ever came under attack by Nazis or the Japanese.
