It is the Civil War and Colonel Michael Baker rules Fort Harmer. The old Fort, on the Delaware River a few miles south of Philadelphia, has been converted into a prison to hold captured Confederate soldiers. Baker is the commandant of Fort Harmer; he and his assistant, Major Jonathan Kelly, have turned the prison into their personal kingdom. Their tentacles reach far beyond Fort Harmer through a vast network of bribes, intimidation, murder, and corruption. But even Colonel Baker eventually goes too far and draws the attention of the War Department. In the summer of 1864, Secretary of War Edwin Stanton sends U.S. Army Major Thomas Lamond to Fort Harmer with orders to destroy Baker's corrupt empire. Lamond, a combat veteran battling demons of his own, arrives at Fort Harmer and finds himself overmatched by Baker and Kelly. Still, with the help of a Confederate sergeant being held prisoner, Lamond sets about bringing down Baker, Kelly, and their prison fortress in the swamps of the Delaware River.

Research and national statistics reveal gender disparities among many health care and helping professions, including in the occupational therapy field (American Occupational Therapy Association [AOTA], 2015a; Bureau of Labor Statistics [BLS], 2018; Maxim & Rice, 2018). Key literature supports the need for a comprehensive, recruitment program targeting an underrepresented, male population in an effort to achieve gender balance in occupational therapy. Based on evidence, a male recruitment program, URePro (Undergraduate Recruitment Equality Program), was created and proposed to a group of stakeholders as part of a capstone project for Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions in efforts to narrow the gender gap and advance the occupational therapy profession. Feedback and reflections from the stakeholders further supported the constructs of URePro. Future implications to increase gender diversity in occupational therapy are discussed. Stimulating motivations to mitigate contextual barriers relating to gender disparity and building upon the foundation of URePro can be a driving force leading to gender balance in the occupational therapy profession.

Der neue große historische Roman von Andrew Miller - "Millers Schreiben ist eine Quelle des Staunens und der Freude." Hilary MantelIn einer Februarnacht 1809, zur Zeit der Napoleonischen Kriege, kehrt John Lacroix halb tot von einem Feldzug bei La Coruña nach England zurück. Er glaubt, das Schlimmste gesehen zu haben, was Menschen einander antun können. Allmählich gewinnt Lacroix seine Gesundheit zurück. Um auch seinen Seelenfrieden wiederzugewinnen, macht er sich auf den Weg zu den Hebriden, jedoch ohne zu wissen, dass ihm zwei Männer nach dem Leben trachten. Nicht nur er, auch die Frau, in die er sich verliebt, ist in äußerster Gefahr."Die Korrektur der Vergangenheit" ist ein atemberaubender historischer Roman, ein vielschichtig fesselndes Historiengemälde, geschrieben in einer klaren, leuchtenden Prosa.

Williamson College of the Trades was founded in 1888 by Quaker businessman and philanthropist Isaiah V. Williamson, whose objective was to provide financially disadvantaged young men with a useful trade. Located in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, the school accepted its first students in the fall of 1891. Then, as now, the young men received free room, board, and tuition while dividing their day between the classroom and the shop. In 2015, the institution changed its name from Williamson Free School of Mechanical Trades to Williamson College of the Trades, but its mission has never changed. Students still live on campus for free and are required to report for morning inspection, attend daily chapel service, and maintain a professional appearance at all times. Williamson has remained relevant in a changing world while still maintaining its core values of faith, integrity, diligence, excellence, and service. Despite changing times, Williamson College of the Trades has stayed true to those values and Isaiah V. Williamson s legacy."

Clem Glass was a successful photojournalist, firm in the belief that photographs could capture truth and beauty. Until he went to Africa and witnessed the aftermath of a genocidal massacre. Clem returns to London with his faith in human nature shattered and his life derailed. Nothing-work, love, sex-can rouse his interest and no other outlook can restore his faith. The one person Clem is able to connect with is his sister, who has made her own sudden retreat from reality into the shadows of mental illness, and he finds some peace nursing her back to health in rural Somerset. Then news arrives that offers him the chance to confront the source of his nightmares. In The Optimists, Miller explores the perilously thin line between self-delusion and optimism.

It is the summer of 1997. Alec Valentine is returning to England to care for his ailing mother, Alice, a task that only reinforces his deep sense of inadequacy. In San Francisco, his older brother Larry prepares to come home as well, preoccupied with an acting career that is sliding toward sleaze and a marriage that is faltering. In Paris, on the other hand, the Hungarian playwright Lászlo Lázár seems to have it all--critical acclaim, a loving boyfriend, and a close circle of friends--yet even he is haunted by guilt and tragedy. For each of them the time has come to assess the turns taken, the opportunities missed. And for each there will be one last chance to break free from the past and find redemption in a moment of clarity and courage. Andrew Miller has given us an intimate, compelling meditation that evokes an extraordinary range of emotions and insights--Oxygen lives and breathes beyond the final page.

Paris 1785: Der junge Ingenieur Jean-Baptiste Baratte erhält von höchster Stelle den Auftrag, den übel stinkenden Friedhof der Unschuldigen zu demolieren. Er engagiert einen Trupp hartgesottener Arbeiter aus Flandern, um die Skelette auszugraben und fortzuschaffen. Doch nicht nur Tod und Verwesung begegnen ihm. Auf dem Friedhof freundet sich Baratte mit dem weltgewandten Organisten einer leer stehenden Kirche an, durch den er Zugang zur zwielichtigen Schattenwelt von Paris erhält. Dort lernt er das Mädchen Héloïse kennen und verliebt sich in sie. Und auch ein Arzt, ein freundlicher Mann namens Guillotin, besucht die alten Ruhestätten auf der Suche nach anatomischen Studienobjekten. Während alledem künden bedrohliche Ereignisse von einer aufziehenden Gefahr.

True operational excellence is not about a method but a mindset . . . and a relentless pursuit of doing things better.

When we discuss accelerating top line growth and maximizing profitability, we often consider hiring more people, cutting expenses, or raising prices. What we should be doing is looking at different ways to effectively utilize what we already have. Rather than hiring new people, we need to improve the performance of our current employees. As an alternative to cutting costs, we need better invest the money we already spend. Instead of raising prices, identify ideal customers to market and sell to. This book will discuss strategies on how to do all of these things and more. The author provides 25 ways to accelerate revenue growth and increase profitability immediately, without making any new financial investments. That is the Unified Theory of Profitability. It means looking at the organization and finding ways to better leverage what already exists and focusing on the activities or changes that will provide optimal results. Readers will become experts on executing on these strategies. It can be done! Find the solutions that work, commit to implementing them and results will flourish.

4 Brothers (originally titled 1 Brother) is an excellent childhood memoir by Andrew Miller that has been cruelly sabotaged by his three brothers. It would have been a beautifully written, insightful and amusing account of growing up in Sydney through the 60's, 70's and 80's but instead has become a questionably written, argumentative, and occasionally vulgar piece which has somehow turned out to be wholly entertaining. Few memories are agreed upon, and many are strongly, if not hotly, debated. What is, superficially at least, a nostalgic and entertaining read, also turns out to be a valuable and penetrating look into character, birth order, parenting techniques, world views and obnoxious personalities - from four brothers who remember their childhood very differently, yet who at the same time remain the closest of friends and the loyalist of companions.

God loves his children, blesses his own, rewards those who serve him, tells us to ask and receive, and heals those who believe. Really? Then why on earth am I lying in a hospital bed with cancer? So This Is Suffering... is a first-hand, real-time account of a battle with cancer over a three month period. Told with candor, insight and humour, the author shares a world of needles and nausea, fear and fatigue, and hospitals and bad haircuts. But it turns out there was more to it all. Much more. For the experience also opened up a rich world of Biblical understanding, ministry opportunities and most of all the reality of joy in even the most desperate circumstances.

One Life, many moments. One life, three possible outcomes. One life, one shot. A Moment in Time takes you into the simple life of Tony MacKenzie and with him into the underbelly of Japanese society, the mayhem of international marriage, the absurdities of English education in Japan, illicit romance, desperate comradery, the yakuza, Korean spies, God, flatulent beagles, Japanese cowboys and finely cooked ribs. It's all here. There but for the grace of God goes Tony...

Mentoring is used in a wide range of situations in education: to assist learning; to help weaker students or those with specific learning needs or difficulties; to develop community or business links; to aid the inclusion of pupils otherwise at risk of exclusion; to develop ethnic links; and to enable students to benefit from the support of their peers, to name but a few.;The development and proliferation of mentoring and mentoring schemes in education over the last few years has been dramatic, and presents teachers, school managers and leaders, as well as mentors, with a challenge. This book presents mentors, plus anyone working with young people, with a guide to approaches to mentoring today. It looks at mentoring as a concept, how it is done well and how it can be made more effective.
