The action takes place in Paris during the reign of King Louis XIV of France. The city is under siege by what is presumed to be an organized band of thieves whose members rob citizens of costly jewelry in their homes or on the street.

The murder victims are mostly wealthy lovers who are on their way to meet their mistresses with gifts of fine jewelry.

Henry IV, Part 1
Henry IV, Part 1
William Shakespeare
¥40.79
A history play by William Shakespeare, depicting a span of history that begins with Hotspur's battle at Homildon in Northumberland against the Douglas late in 1402, and ends with the defeat of the rebels at Shrewsbury in the middle of 1403. From the start it has been an extremely popular play both with the public and critics. Henry Bolingbroke—now King Henry IV—is having an unquiet reign. His personal disquiet at the murder of his predecessor Richard II would be solved by a crusade to the Holy Land, but broils on his borders with Scotland and Wales prevent that. Moreover, he is increasingly at odds with the Percy family, who helped him to his throne, and Edmund Mortimer, the Earl of March, Richard II's chosen heir.

Read on your PC, Mac, smart phone, tablet or Kindle device.?What is really going on in our body during prolonged full fasting, when the body does not receive any food: no protein, no fat, no carbohydrates, only water in unlimited quantities. Thanks to Paul Bragg, now we talk about fasting in no other way as about a "miracle". "Both weight loss and cleansing and in addition health improvement of body and soul – all this can be given to you by fasting, an ancient method of self-healing of the body granted to us by nature," it follows from the flow of health improving literature on this subject. However, those who have already tried fasting for themselves, note the very ambiguous results from the use of this "miraculous" remedy. After a trustworthy weight loss, the weight very quickly returns not only to the initial value, but almost always increases, which will be discussed in details later. But the saddest syndrome the fasting persons can face at the stage of so-called ketoacidosis. When with the general blue-green color of face, a disgusting smell of acetone comes from the mouth, the head breaks of the pain, urine resembles the slop, and the other unpleasant symptoms occur that in books on fasting are seen exclusively as testimony of beginning of the process of "cleansing". "All this dirt" – the authors of books on therapeutic fasting repeat insistently – "is the residues and toxins that have accumulated in your body, bones and fat, and just "wait" when you start an "integrated" cleansing by means of starvation and other methods of healing the body". In other words, they try to convince us that these mythical endless "toxins" hid somewhere in "back streets" of our "intoxicated" body PRIOR the start of the cleansing fasting.?Here Is A Preview Of What You'll Learn... ·On the Sources of Energy During Fasting ·Factors That Increase Blood Sugar Level ·How the Nerve Cells Can Receive Energy on the Second or Third Day of Fasting? ·Some "Anti-Miracles" of Fasting ·Diet is a Direct Way to Cellulite ·Diet or What Should Be Done to Prevent Fat Accumulation ·Much, much more!

After the festive dinner with its eight courses and its endless conversation, Olga Mihalovna, whose husband’s name-day was being celebrated, went out into the garden. The duty of smiling and talking incessantly, the clatter of the crockery, the stupidity of the servants, the long intervals between the courses, and the stays she had put on to conceal her condition from the visitors, wearied her to exhaustion. She longed to get away from the house, to sit in the shade and rest her heart with thoughts of the baby which was to be born to her in another two months.

Coping with Crisis:A Counsellor's Guide to the Restabilization Process
Coping with Crisis:A Counsellor's Guide to the Restabilization Process
Jim Burtles
¥65.99
In the wake of a catastrophic event, the witness may discover or experience unsettling emotions which can trigger subsequent behaviors. These reactions can lead to a number of consequences, some of which are unproductive. Restabilization is a practical means of addressing these reactions and the resultant issues. It is a four-step process of self-discovery guided, but not led, by a counselor; aimed at restoring someone's confidence and improving their capability to deal with life's problems. The person is encouraged, and enabled, to view the event as a learning experience with an opportunity to improve their performance in relation to unexpected problems. The four stages of the process are described in detail, together with examples of model sessions and rules of engagement which serve to ensure the effectiveness of the process. There are also some Communication Exercises designed to ensure unemotional but sympathetic communication between the counselor and their client. In addition, the Dark Serpent Dilemma and Technique offers a pragmatic way of approaching and solving the problems which life throws at all of us from time to time. Once the concept is understood it can be applied as a way of ensuring the optimum reaction to any significant event or situation. About the Author For several years, Jim Burtles was Principal Consultant with Safetynet PLC, where he taught business executives how to cope with, and plan for, minor emergencies, disasters and absolute catastrophes. Safetynet was a pioneering disaster recovery and business continuity company which specialized in dealing with business emergencies. Such events might range in scale from a faulty air-conditioning system to the aftermath of major earthquakes or terrorist attacks. The original concept of Safetynet was centered on the complex computer-based operations of the modern business. However, experience soon taught Safetynet's founders that the whole of the business environment had to be taken into account. Therefore, personnel problems and many other aspects needed to be taken into consideration. Jim acquired his expertise in disaster recovery and emergency management through direct exposure to dozens of real-life disasters, almost a hundred emergencies and countless problem situations. He also benefited from the indirect experience of many more, gained from talking to, and working with, victims of various crises. In his current role, as a Director of Total Continuity Management, he is now working with senior executives of international corporations and government departments to help them develop complete emergency response plans and processes which include appropriate counseling and training programs to cope with emergency Coping with Crisis is book #5 in the Explorations in Metapsychology Series from Loving Healing Press (www.LovingHealing.com)

7 Checklist Items for Success:A Guide to a Richer and More Successful Life
7 Checklist Items for Success:A Guide to a Richer and More Successful Life
Jean G Mathurin, M.D.
¥81.67
KIRKUS REVIEW A U.S. Navy physician shares his secrets for a more successful life in this self-help work. Mathurin conceived of his debut book when he realized how critical checklists are in the worlds of naval aviation and medicine. Itemized lists, he says, help avoid flight mishaps and operating room errors, so he wondered, “Why not apply this same concept to people’s lives to help them achieve their highest potential?” That epiphany resulted in this book—a kind of instruction manual for living that breaks achievement into seven “checklist items”: “Goals,” “Take Action,” “Courage to Consistently Commit,” “Value Resources,” “Investing in Yourself and Others,” “Giving Back,” and “Create a Legacy of Service to Others.” An introductory section helpfully explains each of the core concepts, in brief, and these same blocks of text are repeated at the beginning of each of seven chapters. The items themselves are unlikely to be new to most readers, as many of the ideas are common in self-help literature (such as “Have the courage to go the extra mile with everything that you do, each and every time”). But the presentation of the material feels more novel, as the overarching checklist concept isn’t taken literally; the book’s merit derives from the idea that one can systematically address several broad areas in the quest for a fuller life. At the very least, this notion gives the book a highly focused structure that makes it easy for readers to navigate.? Unsurprisingly, given the author’s military and medical background, there’s a sense of logic and precision to this book. Each chapter’s content is uniformly positive and always emphasizes proactivity, but it’s also clear that the book isn’t intended to highlight step-by-step procedure. Instead, it offers a wide-ranging, general discussion of each list item, using examples and personal anecdotes to illustrate specific points. To that end, Mathurin writes from a very personal perspective—sharing, for example, how he grew up in poverty in Haiti—and he explains with some eloquence how he used the principles that he lays out in his book to “transform [his] life from famine to abundance.” He writes with a great deal of insight, as well, offering not only accounts of his own experiences, but also the wisdom of others, such as investor Warren Buffett and the late self-help authors Zig Ziglar and Napoleon Hill. Mathurin’s style often takes an inspirational tone, as he exudes a sense of confidence in his approach to life: “Success,” writes Mathurin, “is only ten percent intention and ninety percent action.” About leading others, he writes, “always strive to be the leader you would want to follow; strive to be the calm voice in the midst of the chaos, and—while you are at it—strive to be the change that you want to see.” Finally, Mathurin stresses that you can “lay the path to your legacy by focusing on giving back the acts of kindness you have received along the way.”? A book of noble, sincere, and expressive advice for living.
