After losing her mother to cancer, sixteen-year-old Ruby Everhart had no choice but to pick up her life in Los Angeles and move it to the tiny, snow-banked town of North Swallow. Adjusting to life in Montana with her Uncle Harvey and Aunt Emeline wasn't going to be easy...or so she thought. Ruby was surprised to find that North Swallow, and all of the people in it, felt more like home than any other place she had ever lived. She quickly found herself with a best friend, a great job, a loving and supportive family, and a boyfriend who just so happened to be the most gorgeous boy in school. On the surface, North Swallow appeared to be a quaint little town, nestled in the mountains of Montana-a town where the coolest place to hang out was the local diner. But, Ruby isn't the only one trying to hide a tragic past. North Swallow seems to have quite a few secrets of its own and Ruby is determined to unravel the truth.

A Sexy Stripper-Sleuth Bares It All to Catch a Cold-Blooded Killer in The Miracle Strip by Nancy Bartholomew The whip-smart Sierra Lavotini is the hottest act on Panama City's strip scene. She's the headliner at the bare-all bar, the Tiffany Club. Besides her bodacious business, Sierra's life is fairly simple. And that's the way she likes it. But when a good friend, Denise, seeks her help, Sierra's life takes a murderous turn. Seems Denise's furry friend Arlo has just been "dognapped." From the pricey ransom note, Sierra figures there's much more to this case than meets the eye. And her hunch proves correct when a quick trip to Denise's apartment reveals a fresh corpse. Sierra can't shake the feeling that her friend isn't telling her the whole story--especially after Denise turns up missing and the body count continues to rise. Determined to reveal the naked truth, Sierra tackles this steamy caper head on, digging in her stiletto heels until the dangerous job is done.
Ruby, red corundum, is a gem mineral with mineral properties, gem characteristics and chemistry that are reliant on critical trace element substitutions in its aluminum oxide crystal structure. Ruby has attracted scientific and economic interest. It has already been studied extensively regarding its widespread global distribution and the diversity of its geological associations, as revealed by exploration and exploitation. Researchers are becoming increasingly aware that geographic typing of ruby characteristics and its host assemblages may guide further exploration and provide checks on reputed sources of both rough and cut stones. Genetic pointers, based on fluid and solid mineral inclusions, oxygen and other isotope values and pressure and temperature estimates, have already yielded much genetic information. Rare ruby in mantle xenoliths, TP ~1100o C, 2GPa, epitaxial diamond in ruby and ruby in diamond have special interest. Amid the present extensive documentation on this singular gem mineral, new insights and co-existing associations remain to be discovered. Although ruby largely appears in metamorphic and metasomatic source rocks, newer studies suggest it may also arise from ...
This book provides a clear and concise description of the multifaceted notion of psychotherapeutic competencies, building on years of research and training and informed by a systemic approach. Psychotherapeutic Competencies clearly describes methodological principles to guide both trainees and experienced therapists through the definition of four levels of systemic competencies and illustrates each principle with compelling clinical case material.

This book will be essential reading for psychotherapists of all therapeutic backgrounds, in practice and in training, who wish to enhance their understanding of competency, context, and clinical skill. It will also be a key...
Het voelt niet als het einde. Het voelt alsof al mijn problemen nog maar net beginnen. Er gebeurt meer in mijn stad Raven River dan ik wist. Meer leugens. Meer geheimen. Meer pijn. Zichtbare en onzichtbare vijanden cirkelen om me heen en zelfs mijn beschermengelen kunnen me niet beschermen. Er komt een oorlog aan en ik zal vechten, want deze keer zijn het mijn Engelen...Mijn Ruiters...Mijn geliefden... ...die gered moeten worden.
Ik wist toen ik dit pad insloeg dat het zou leiden tot vernietiging... ...maar niets had me hierop kunnen voorbereiden. Drugs die de campus overspoelen. Spanningen die broeien tussen de facties. Oude vijanden die weer opduiken. Nieuwe geheimen die mijn leven overnemen. Liefde die een ziel doet ontwaken waarvan ik lang dacht dat die dood was. Cassius, Clay, Hiro en Royal hebben mij een van hen genoemd, maar een titel delen is gemakkelijk. Kunnen we ook alles delen wat daarbij komt kijken? Ik zal getest worden op manieren waarop ik niet ben voorbereid - door zowel vijanden als geliefden. Er is meer aan de hand met de academie, de Horsemen en de verdwijning van mijn ouders dan ik wist. Wat ik wel weet is dat het volgen van dat pad gevaarlijk zal zijn. Ik kan niet meer onderscheiden wie de engelen, demonen of duivels zijn. Ik weet alleen dat ze allemaal achter mij aan zitten.

Traces the craft of pottery making among the Catawba Indians of North Carolina from the late 18th century to the present When Europeans encountered them, the Catawba Indians were living along the river and throughout the valley that carries their name near the present North Carolina-South Carolina border. Archaeologists later collected and identified categories of pottery types belonging to the historic Catawba and extrapolated an association with their protohistoric and prehistoric predecessors. In this volume, Thomas Blumer traces the construction techniques of those documented ceramics to the lineage of their probable present-day master potters or, in other words, he traces the Catawba pottery traditions. By mining data from archives and the oral traditions of contemporary potters, Blumer reconstructs sales circuits regularly traveled by Catawba peddlers and thereby illuminates unresolved questions regarding trade routes in the protohistoric period. In addition, the author details particular techniques of the representative potters—factors such as clay selection, tool use, decoration, and firing techniques—which influence their styles.
