| business partner emptied bank account: The Prodigal System of Forgiveness and Reconciliation J. Emmett Beam, 2009-04 In today's world, relationships and lives are destroyed by conflict, greed, deception, betrayal, abandonment, abuse and other cruel acts of violence. Stories of Ponzi schemes, unethical financial dealings, infidelity, gang violence and terrorism are common place in the news. Such acts result in financial ruin, divorce, physical pain, emotional trauma and even death of loved ones. Our first instinct is to pay back evil for evil and take our own revenge. Yet is that the best course? This book explores and examines some tough questions, including: - Is it possible to recover from the loss, grief and trauma resulting from an injustice? - Will post-traumatic stress plague a victim of violence forever? - How can relationships be restored after betrayal or adultery? - Is it possible to forgive someone who has cruelly or violently injured us? - Can we actually love our enemies as instructed in the Bible? - Can we get forgiveness from God after committing violence, infidelity or murder? - Is there a key to personal healing, no matter what someone has experienced? The good news is there is a key to personal healing and a way to recover from the losses, grief and traumas of life. And it's called forgiveness. The Parable System of Forgiveness and Reconciliation provides a practical, proven method of forgiving anyone for any type of injustice. It also describes how to restore and reconcile broken relationships. This invaluable resource will help you do one of the hardest things you'll ever do for your own personal healing: forgive someone who has betrayed, abused, violated, or committed a violent offense against you or a loved one. |

| business partner emptied bank account: Spine Intact, Some Creases Victor J. Banis, 2012-11-01 A legendary name from the Golden Age of Paperbacks, VICTOR J. BANIS spins a witty and exuberant tale of A Thousand and One Knights, flitting blithely from tale to tail, in one era and out the other. Part autobiography, part a history of the Gay Revolution, part writing manual, part juicy gossip, with a few tasty recipes thrown in for good measure, Spine Intact, Some Creases is a summing up -- alternately hilarious and touching, instructive and impassioned, and always entertaining -- of the remarkable life and work of a writer hailed by top gay pulp historian Michael Bronski as ?one of my heroes.? ?Banis' memoir provides a poignant history of West Coast paperback publishing in the Sixties, and one author's journey from small beginnings to critical and financial success as a writer -- but it's far more than that: witty, elegantly written, funny, sad, smart, and even wise. Every penman-apprentice should read this book -- twice!? -- Robert Reginald |
| business partner emptied bank account: Overcoming a Woman’s Struggles Through a Young Girl’s Heart! Faith Bradberry, 2018-06-30 Misconstrued, good intentions, good motives, wrong outcomes, wrong results; but she survived. This book goes through a series of lifelong lessons—lessons that people go through in an entire lifetime. The author here goes through this in a short space as she herself is only in her early thirties. It takes a longer time for an average individual to go through life’s lessons. However, with this book, it’s taking you through some of life’s realities through a young girl’s heart. We emphasize this as so many young girls are critiqued for dating someone who isn’t available. So many young girls are used by men, and they are not in a position to represent themselves, to respect themselves, or to stand up for themselves. The author herself had to be strong to withstand harsh critiques as well as overcome some very embarrassing public displays—from humble roots to success in a small country, from falling to rising through some of life’s hardest battles. She’s always a prowomen person who believes that women are the stronger of the two sexes. She is not being biased but always being prowomen. She somehow ended up being public enemy number 1 to most women. This shows how to deal with a public breakdown in the midst of the fiery storm and how to walk away when it isn’t what you want to do. When the bonds you’ve made hold you back stronger and the strength you have to muster up is not enough, let go and give it to God. Let him work his way and work out situations for you. |

| business partner emptied bank account: CORRUPT Dick Morris, 2023-10-17 “Within these incendiary pages, Dick Morris, America’s reigning Dean of political strategy and tactics, completely unmasks the treasonous behavior of arguably the worst first family to ever darken the doors of the White House.” — From the Foreword by Peter Navarro WAKE UP AMERICA! Each day brings shocking new revelations of the depth and breadth of the corruption of the Biden family. From China to Ukraine to Moscow to Iraq to Kazakhstan to Costa Rica to Florida to Romania and stops in between the Biden family has been in enriching itself by trading off the public offices and power accumulated by its mastermind: Joe Biden. The corruption of our own, elected leaders is the crux of America’s difficulties. United States laws do not prevent politicians, and even Presidents(!), from using their families to take bribes and payoffs before, during, and after they serve us in public office. New York Times bestselling author Dick Morris is a winning presidential strategist and the man Time magazine dubbed “the most influential private citizen in America.” In his new book, CORRUPT: The Biden Family's Dark Money, Morris lays-out the case against the Biden family and years of corruption and grift at the expense of taxpayers and the security of the United States. Since 2016, Dick Morris has been a behind-the-scenes adviser to Donald Trump, playing a key role in Trump’s surprise 2016 win. And now, as the 2024 elections approaches, President Biden’s corruption — and that of his family — are emerging as key issues, and Morris argues President Trump MUST win in 2024 to clean-up the dangerous cancer that has taken-over the White House and is endangering the security of the United States and the world. Stronger ethics laws embracing all the opportunities for theft that a big family offers are a partial answer. But the real answer is to stop electing weak people who succumb to easy-money around the world and especially to Chinese entreaties to office. There is no room for corruption at the top of our government and according to Morris, there is NO excuse for not electing Donald J. Trump in 2024 to clean it up. “Within these pages, both Joe Biden and Communist China are revealed to be extreme dangers to an American nation now threatened from within by a variety of cultural, social, and economic crises largely of Biden’s making and threatened from without by an authoritarian and fascist regime now engaged in the most rapid military buildup of a fascist regime since World War II — even as this Communist Chinese regime aligns itself ever more closely with America’s other major existential threats in Russia, Iran, North Korea.” — Peter Navarro |

| business partner emptied bank account: A Final Accounting Leonard Orland, 2010 Between 1939 and 1945, the Nazis murdered six million Jews in the Holocaust and looted Jewish assets currently valued at between $230 billion and $320 billion. As Hitler's power grew, many Jewish families and businesses took advantage of the promise of secrecy and protection and deposited their funds in Swiss banks. For over half of a century, these funds remained in Swiss banks, protected by a veil of Swiss banking secrecy, concealed by coordinated bank obfuscation. In 1996 and 1997, Holocaust survivors' class actions lawsuits against leading Swiss banking institutions were assigned to Chief Judge Edward R. Korman, who has written an introduction to this volume. In 2000, Judge Korman approved an historic settlement of $1.25 billion. Judge Korman's opinions were affirmed on seven occasions by the Second Circuit. Judge Jose Cabranes, who has written a preface to the volume, was a member of each appellate panel. A Final Accounting introduces, organizes, explains, and evaluates this complex litigation, frames the case in a larger historical and jurisprudential context, and examines the limits of court awards as an instrument to rectify horrific wrongs. In his preface, Judge Cabranes writes: Leonard Orland, [has provided an] ... informed account of the epic litigation and settlement of the claims of Holocaust victims against Swiss banks. He has written a clear-headed and sympathetic account based on an intimate knowledge of the record of these extraordinary cases, which ended by bringing a measure of justice to victims of Nazi murder and plunder and the denial of their rightful claims by Swiss financial institutions. In successive chapters, he presents a concise history of Nazi depredations and Swiss denials of responsibility for accounts maintained by victims of the Holocaust, and of the litigation in American courts to vindicate long-ignored claims. Professor Orland's account permits a reader to understand the claims asserted in this massive litigation as well as the unique role of the American judicial system in managing and resolving human rights class actions. This important and praiseworthy book will deserve the attention of students of the American justice system, and of the persistence of memory of the Holocaust, for generations to come. |

| business partner emptied bank account: Foul Deeds & Suspicious Deaths in Croydon Caroline Maxton, 2006-10-31 We are all drawn to understand the circumstances that lead others to commit unforgivable acts of violence - the moment that turns a caring human being into a killer, the series of events that drive ordinary people to murderous acts of inhumanity, or the slow, premeditated steps of the callous criminal. And the circumstances - and the twisted motivation - behind such violent acts are the subject of Caroline Maxton's fascinating investigation of individuals whose misdeeds have tarnished the history of the Croydon area. She investigates a wide range of murders and unexplained deaths, some of which are truly stranger than fiction. The events cover a span of several centuries, and the locations will be chillingly familiar to the inhabitants of Croydon. Local crimes that hit the national headlines, like the Bentley case of 1952, are covered in fresh detail, but the author concentrates on less well-known but equally intriguing, and shocking, episodes - the bizarre 'mustard and cress' murder of 1870, the brutal murder of Eliza Osborne in 1877, the Kenley Stud Farm mystery of 1921, the Birdhurst Rise poisoning of the late 1920s, the notorious unsolved murder of 11-year-old Miles Vallint of 1959. |

| business partner emptied bank account: Why Startups Fail Tom Eisenmann, 2021-03-30 If you want your startup to succeed, you need to understand why startups fail. “Whether you’re a first-time founder or looking to bring innovation into a corporate environment, Why Startups Fail is essential reading.”—Eric Ries, founder and CEO, LTSE, and New York Times bestselling author of The Lean Startup and The Startup Way Why do startups fail? That question caught Harvard Business School professor Tom Eisenmann by surprise when he realized he couldn’t answer it. So he launched a multiyear research project to find out. In Why Startups Fail, Eisenmann reveals his findings: six distinct patterns that account for the vast majority of startup failures. • Bad Bedfellows. Startup success is thought to rest largely on the founder’s talents and instincts. But the wrong team, investors, or partners can sink a venture just as quickly. • False Starts. In following the oft-cited advice to “fail fast” and to “launch before you’re ready,” founders risk wasting time and capital on the wrong solutions. • False Promises. Success with early adopters can be misleading and give founders unwarranted confidence to expand. • Speed Traps. Despite the pressure to “get big fast,” hypergrowth can spell disaster for even the most promising ventures. • Help Wanted. Rapidly scaling startups need lots of capital and talent, but they can make mistakes that leave them suddenly in short supply of both. • Cascading Miracles. Silicon Valley exhorts entrepreneurs to dream big. But the bigger the vision, the more things that can go wrong. Drawing on fascinating stories of ventures that failed to fulfill their early promise—from a home-furnishings retailer to a concierge dog-walking service, from a dating app to the inventor of a sophisticated social robot, from a fashion brand to a startup deploying a vast network of charging stations for electric vehicles—Eisenmann offers frameworks for detecting when a venture is vulnerable to these patterns, along with a wealth of strategies and tactics for avoiding them. A must-read for founders at any stage of their entrepreneurial journey, Why Startups Fail is not merely a guide to preventing failure but also a roadmap charting the path to startup success. |
| business partner emptied bank account: Guardians of the Valley Dean King, 2024-03-19 * “We see through this book the immense power of language…to change the minds of lawmakers and tourists alike.” —The New York Times Book Review * “A poignant portrait of an era when mere words could change the world.” —San Francisco Chronicle * The dramatic and uplifting story of legendary outdoorsman and conservationist John Muir’s journey to save Yosemite is “a rich, enjoyable excursion into a seminal period in environmental history” (The Wall Street Journal). In June of 1889 in San Francisco, John Muir—iconic environmentalist, writer, and philosopher—meets face-to-face for the first time with his longtime editor Robert Underwood Johnson, an elegant and influential figure at The Century magazine. Before long, the pair, opposites in many ways, decide to venture to Yosemite Valley, the magnificent site where twenty years earlier, Muir experienced a personal and spiritual awakening that would set the course of the rest of his life. Upon their arrival the men are confronted with a shocking vision, as predatory mining, tourism, and logging industries have plundered and defaced “the grandest of all the special temples of Nature.” While Muir is devastated, Johnson, an arbiter of the era’s pressing issues in the pages of the nation’s most prestigious magazine, decides that he and Muir must fight back. The pact they form marks a watershed moment, leading to the creation of Yosemite National Park, and launching an environmental battle that captivates the nation and ushers in the beginning of the American environmental movement. “Comprehensively researched and compellingly readable” (Booklist, starred review), Guardians of the Valley is a moving story of friendship, the written word, and the transformative power of nature. It is also a timely and powerful “origin story” as the towering environmental challenges we face today become increasingly urgent. |
| business partner emptied bank account: Dizzy Worms Michael Holman, 2012-02-15 Charity Mupanga, the resilient and maternal proprietor of Harrods International Bar (and Nightspot) faces her toughest challenge in Dizzy Worms, the final novel in Michael Holman's acclaimed trilogy set in the African slum of Kireba. Faced with a Health and Safety closure, Charity has a week to appeal and the chances of success seem negligible: elections are imminent, and Kireba is due to become a showcase of President Josiah Nduka's 'slum rehabilitation program', backed by gullible foreign donors. But before taking on Nduka and the council, she has a promise to keep - to provide a supply of her famous sweet doughballs to a small army of street children, as voracious as they are malodorous... Michael Holman uses his witty satirical pen to brilliant effect in this affectionate portrait of a troubled region, targeting local politicians, western diplomats, foreign donors and journalists, puncturing pretensions and questioning the philosophy of aid. |
| business partner emptied bank account: The Haunted Refrigerator Dave Veith, 2020-05-05 Life is a Trial, says Henderson. Like he knows S about S. Every year on March 1 comes the Alive Day of Roberto (“Robot”) Larch. Down on the Rez, Jim Fence still walks the mesa—or does he? And Snap and Henry B. are way up there on Tuesday Island, like hummingbirds trapped (as if by clear glass) along the Pacific Coast. “What goes around comes around”—Daniel Boone (among others—we won’t say who—long dead). AND THEN— The saga of The Haunted Refrigerator has not easily been contained (try it sometime). Book One is called In; Book Two Bifurcated Proceedings; Hoist a Few Cold Ones is Book Three and not the traditional place to start. Yet here we are. Our advice? Read the first book first, the second second, and this one last. Or not. Like we know S |

So he takes us on a journey through the stages of his life and shows us how he has fared and how this has made him the person he is today. After his childhood and training in the GDR, he came to the realization after reunification that the grass is only greener in the West if you know how to capture the best meadow. And once he had learned that, some of the women in his life also started to go crazy. Just as well that life often has more to offer than agonizing togetherness. |

| business partner emptied bank account: Timely Assist Robyn M. Ryan, 2021-09-16 A Tampa Suns Hockey Romance She has no time for romance. He’s not looking for love. Neither sees the slap shot life sends their way. Shannon Mackenna’s life revolves around her family, with her 4 year old daughter at the center. She knows first hand how life can change in an instant. Her parents’ unexpected death taught her never to take things for granted. She lives with no regrets—not even the one-night-stand with a minor league hockey player that resulted in a surprise pregnancy. When she tried to contact him, he denied even recognizing her and Shannon vowed to raise her daughter on her own. Cliff “Cam” Camden embraced the bad-boy-athlete persona the moment he was drafted. He enjoyed all of the perks and has long stopped counting notches on his hockey stick. Now, Cam wants more than off-ice conquests. It’s time to put his career first. He’s not looking for distractions—until he meets the beautiful, sassy owner of Shamrock Fitness. Intrigued by the elusive, private woman, Cam hopes for the chance of something more. Shannon fears her past has collided with her carefully scripted life but she finds it difficult to resist Cam’s devilish smile and brilliant silver eyes. His thoughtfulness outshines his obvious sex appeal, and every time she sees him, her heart skips a beat—and not just because of the way his touch lights up her whole body. Neither denies the mutual attraction, but Shannon must protect her secret at all costs—even if it means walking away from her happily ever after. **Timely Assist is a standalone book in the Tampa Suns Hockey series. This sweet and spicy full-length novel can be read on its own—no cliffhanger, no cheating and a guaranteed Happily Ever After. |
