Tudo está em vibração. Na verdade, cada um de nós tem uma vibração pessoal que comunica ao mundo quem somos, além de contribuir para dar forma à nossa realidade. Neste livro, Penney Peirce ensina você a sentir sua vibração pessoal e trabalhar intencionalmente com a energia para transformar sua vida.

By the mid-19th century, other European powers became interested not only in the exploration of Africa, but the exploitation of it, especially once the German Empire unified after the Franco-Prussian War. This began a rush, spearheaded mainly by European commercial interests in the form of chartered companies, to penetrate the African interior and woo its leadership with guns, trinkets, and alcohol, and having thus obtained their marks or seals upon spurious treaties, begin establishing boundaries of future European colonies.

People have always been fascinated with the hidden, the mysterious, and the unexplained. Every society has tall tales, ghost stories, odd legends, and heroes. Every society also has its stories of strange beasts, dangerous or benign, that live in the twilight world between the everyday and the legendary. Through most of history, people have been closely tied to nature, hunting in forests and having an intimate knowledge of the animals in their regions.

Annette barely escapes the bloodbath to the nearby town of Low's Bend, where she might find safety with a shotgun-toting barkeep, two no-nonsense boarding room ladies, and the gunslinging bounty hunter who's captured Annette's heart.

"Fui tirando aos poucos a roupa bem devagar, enquanto ainda olhava para o espelho. E então me permiti chorar. Minhas mãos cobriram meu rosto e eu apoiei minhas costas nuas na parede fria de azulejos, deixando o desconforto gelado me abraçar ao me lembrar que ainda estava viva e fui escorregando até sentar no chão do banheiro. A água caía no chuveiro e minhas lágrimas lavavam a minha esperança. Chorava pela vida que queria ter. Pelos sonhos que não iria realizar. Pelos amores que não iria viver. Pelos filhos que não iria ter.

O jornalista Martí Perarnau, no entanto, obteve do próprio Guardiola permissão para entrar nos vestiários do Bayern de Munique, seguir de perto todos os seus passos e relatar os detalhes de uma temporada inteira do catalão no comando do clube bávaro. E tirou o máximo proveito da ocasião. Seu exaustivo trabalho de campo delineou os traços de um personagem tão genial quanto atormentado, apaixonado pelo futebol mas, ao mesmo tempo, incapaz de desfrutar totalmente das vitórias por culpa de sua obsessiva busca pela perfeição.

Este minilivro é um resumo produzido a partir da obra original. No dia 21 de junho de 1970, a Taça Jules Rimet disse adeus às Copas do Mundo, assim como deram adeus os mexicanos e outros apaixonados por futebol ao mais belo Mundial da história. Um torneio de despedidas, e que desde o instante de seu apito final abraçou a eternidade. Hoje, passados mais de cinquenta anos, seguem guardados na memória os lances que deram cor e movimento ao maior espetáculo que o futebol já concebeu.

O cordel sempre recontou histórias da tradição oral, lendas de diferentes matrizes, mas, em relação à África e suas tradições mais remotas, são poucos os trabalhos publicados. Estas histórias da tradição africana buscam, por baixo do véu da lenda, os ritos que nutriram os mitos e serviram de alimento espiritual para os povos que habitaram a região africana espremida entre o Saara e a floresta tropical: o "país dos rebanhos" ou, simplesmente, Uagadu.

Naturally, this increasing belief in demonic possession has also led to an increase in the numbers of exorcisms that priests and others are called to perform. Again, precise figures are not available, but one high-profile exorcist in America, Father Vincent Lampert, the exorcist for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, told a reporter in October 2018 that he had received over 1,700 requests for exorcisms so far that year, the highest number he had ever experienced.

Conspiracy theories, and particularly the belief that elements of the world are secretly controlled by individuals or groups, have been around for as long as people have lived in groups. Perhaps that’s inevitable—after all, those who are excluded from power are very likely to be inclined to see their position not as an outcome of their own choices or situation but because of the secret machinations of shadowy groups. One of the most widely discussed conspiracy theories concerns what has become known as the New World Order.
