HARI ini Encik Rahim pulang lebih awal daripada biasa. Hati Yana diasak perasaan ingin tahu. Kenapa papa pulang awal dari tempat kerja hari ni? “Hai... bang. Awal benar balik hari ni? Abang tak sihat ke?” tegur Puan Zuraidah. Encik Rahim tersenyum sambil menggeleng. “Idah, mana anak-anak?” Dia bertanya kepada Puan Zuraidah. “Ada kat dalam bilik,” jawab Puan Zuraidah dengan wajah kehairanan. “Haa… Yana, pergi panggil along dengan Rita,” arah Encik Rahim apabila terpandang Yana. “Kenapa, papa? Ada hal mustahak ke?” tanya Yana pula. “Hai budak ni... Papa suruh panggil, panggil ajelah... Jangan banyak soal pulak.” Encik Rahim mula meninggikan suara terhadap Yana.

This book was requested by my clients as a follow up of my book "The Interior Light - Activate your greatness" as a more detailed analysis of attraction, dating and relationships, in which I examine a fictional love story with comments and explanations. Once you open "The Pandora's box - The forbidden truth about dating and relationships" and read it, all the illusions about dating and relationships will be vanquished and it will remain only the factual truth about why attraction, dating and relationship work the way it does as well as what exactly women and men think when they test each other. As the principles of attraction, dating and relationship become instictive to you, you will become an alpha of your respective gender (alpha man, alpha woman) and always know what to do and not do in any given moment: this truth will be yours for your whole life thus improving and allowing you to have effortless dating and relationship skills.

This accessible, hands-on introduction to historical linguistics - the study of language change - does not just talk about topics.

Examples come from a wide range of languages. Those from the history of more ...
The Lord of Viab’Xexos’ son, Helyan, has been plagued with terrifying dreams of a monster invasion, which no one—not even his father—believe to be credible. When these dreams prove true, it falls to three of the lord’s former colleagues—a trio of mercenaries known as the Stormane—to keep the nation safe. In short order, the Stormane discover there is far more at work than even Helyan suspected, forces well beyond the comprehension of mortal minds. The battle for Viab'Xexos will not be easy, and if victory is even possible, it will come at a steep cost. The only way for the Stormane to save the ones they love will be to rediscover who they are, whether they like what they find or not.

9/11 has been described as an "absolute event" that radically changed the course of history. It reinforced the opposition between Christian and Muslim worlds and led to the declaration of a unilateral war against a global network of terrorists that broke up the classical definition of war as a war between nation states. Yet, 9/11 also created responses in parts of the world that were not directly involved in the unfolding "war on terror." In Africa, local conflicts were re-mapped into an emerging new geography of anger that also reflects the effects of marginalization in a globalized world. The essays of this volume explore local remediations of 9/11 in African popular culture (posters, photographs, videos, cartoons, etc.) and visual arts. They give evidence of the fundamental ambivalence towards the event of 9/11 and provide insights into the various ways distant conflicts are translated into intense proximities.
