Margaret Thatcher’s instructions were concise and clear. "Devote whatever resources are necessary to find this document."
In 1982 a single page from an old ship's logbook holds the solution for Margaret Thatcher's desire to regain the Falklands without bloodshed. After opening the safety box of his deceased uncle, John Wingate encounters red-haired Vanessa Grieves while searching in the vaults of an Argentinean whaling company for a logbook and the secrets it holds.
Vanessa, seeking her own agenda, starts John looking for more that just an old ship when the Falklands Conflict is triggered by the junta’s interest in Leith Harbour.
From the streets of Buenos Aires to the abandoned whaling stations of South Georgia, John and Vanessa are pursued by Argentineans whose personal interests are endangered by the discovery of the logbook's secret.
Caught in Port Stanley during the closing days of the conflict, they cross paths with the Argentine Special Forces who are privy to the real reason the 1939 Battle of the River Plate was fought. [more]

Spells are one of many ritual activities that many Wiccans engage in. Not all Wiccans cast spells; they are a matter of personal preference.
Spells can be designed to attempt to either harm or help others. Thus, there are both evil spells and healing spells. The same magickal processes are used for both.
Before performing a spell, Wiccans carefully think through all the possible repercussions of a spell to make certain that it does not have a manipulative component. Wiccans believe that spells alter the course of the universe and are not to be entered lightly without thoroughly considering all of its possible effects.
There are probably as many types and designs of Wiccan spells as there are Wiccans:
Some spells are very simple, consisting of only a few phrases and actions.
The spell may complex and may involve a full Wiccan ritual, including casting a circle, invocation of deities, statement of purpose, working of the spell, meditation, thanking the deities, and closing the circle. [more]

In Presenting The Following Pages To The Public, Without The Trace Of
An Excellent Scholar Or Eloquent Orator, I Fully Realize My Inability
To Compete With Writers Of The Nineteenth Century. With This
Incompetency In View, I Have Hesitated And Delayed Until Three-Score
And Thirteen Years Are Closing Over Me. Yet As I Am Still Spared To
Toil On A Little Longer In The Great Field So White To Harvest,
Praying The Lord Of The Harvest To Arm And Send Forth More Laborers,
Because They Are Too Few, I Ask An Indulgent Public To Allow My Deep
And Abiding Sympathies For The Oppressed And Sorrowing Of Every
Nation, Class, Or Color, To Plead My Excuse For Sending Forth Simple,
Unvarnished Facts And Experiences, Hoping They May Increase An
Aspiration For The Active Doing, Instead Of Saying What Ought To Be
Done, With Excusing Self For Want Of Ability, When It Is To Be Found
In Him Who Is Saying, "My Grace Is Sufficient For Thee, For My
Strength Is Perfect In Weakness." [more]

H. Rider Haggard
Montezuma's Daughter
- Fiction
- English
- 152845 Words
- Ages 18 and up

This is a remarkable story in the classic mould of H Rider Haggard's best works which can be enjoyed at many levels. As a straight adventure yarn it carries the reader on a historical roller-coaster ride through 16th Century England, Spain, and Mexico at the time of the Spanish Conquest. Rider Haggard wrote Montezuma's Daughter immediately after the death of his beloved son, Jack. It was a blow from which he never recovered and the deep grief and depression he suffered colours this tale of ancient mexico with a dark despair which is not inappropriate to an account of the last days of the Aztec Empire. But this does not make Montezuma's Daughter a gloomy book. Far from it. Rider Haggard was a deeply (if unconventional) religious man and his hopes and aspirations for mankind shine through the darkness to illumine the pages of this book with his wonderful spiritual philosophy which is perhaps his greatest legacy to his readers. The closing chapters on the fall of the Aztec capital of Tenoctitlan under the relentless assault of Cortez are profoundly moving. In short, Montezuma's Daughter is a most moving and well-written fictional history of the fall of Mexico interwoven with a passionate love story and enough action to keep the most jaded reader on the edge of their seat, whilst those who value the deeper aspects of Rider Haggard's narratives as much as the story-telling will not be disappointed.

Protect your blog content
There are a few different ways you can protect your blog content.
1. Disable text selection on your blog
This is the first and most essential step to discourage direct copying of your content.
Users of the Blogger platform can disable text selection from their blogs by manually installing some JavaScript code before the closing tag in the HTML of their blog.
WordPress users can add this feature by installing the wpcopyprotect plugin.
2. Watermark your images
It’s important to watermark all the original images you’ve created for use on your blog. A watermark proves that you are the owner of the copyright to all those images. Moreover, watermarks discourage others from using your photos and illustrations on their blog, since they’d have your blog’s name all over theirs!
Although there are many watermarking utilities available on the internet, I generally prefer to use Windows Live Writer’s inbuilt watermark plugin. Note that if you’re using photos from any other outside source on the web (like Flickr or Picasa), it’s up to you to take a notice of their licenses before reusing them—otherwise you might find yourself guilty of ripping someone else’s content!

The Data of Ethics

Herbert Spencer (27 April 1820 – 8 December 1903) was an English philosopher, biologist, anthropologist, sociologist, and prominent classical liberal political theorist of the Victorian era.
Spencer developed an all-embracing conception of evolution as the progressive development of the physical world, biological organisms, the human mind, and human culture and societies. He was "an enthusiastic exponent of evolution" and even "wrote about evolution before Darwin did."[1] As a polymath, he contributed to a wide range of subjects, including ethics, religion, anthropology, economics, political theory, philosophy, literature, biology, sociology, and psychology. During his lifetime he achieved tremendous authority, mainly in English-speaking academia. "The only other English philosopher to have achieved anything like such widespread popularity was Bertrand Russell, and that was in the 20th century."[2] Spencer was "the single most famous European intellectual in the closing decades of the nineteenth century"[3][4] but his influence declined sharply after 1900; "Who now reads Spencer?" asked Talcott Parsons in 1937.[5] [more]

But being the only witness to the horrendous murders has placed her in the spotlight and on the radar of some dangerous people. While she runs from a truth she can scarcely believe, Sara meets him.
