From then on, she went to a new height in her life." "I don't love you, so please take care of yourself." This was the first thing she said to him. The man's peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed as he said, "Okay, then let's repay the debt." Not mentioning this, it was good. Unknowingly, she owed him so much.

Nobody had heard of Arsène Wenger when he took charge of Arsenal in October 1996. 'Arsène Who?' was the headline. Yet within less than two full seasons, he transformed an underperforming side into league and FA Cup winners, in the process playing with breath-taking style, sparking an epoch-defining rivalry with Alex Ferguson and Manchester United and modernising football in England with his ground-breaking methods. Built around over 150 exclusive interviews with key players, coaches, staff and opponents, and rich in behind-the-scenes stories, personal accounts of triumph, tragedy, hilarity and heartbreak, Arsène Who? relives Arsenal's rocky road to the 1998 Double and the inception of the Wenger revolution.

It is a snapshot of a shifting cultural and sporting landscape epitomised by the Gunners' rise. And it is the tale of an unheralded mastermind who guided his team to new heights. Arsène Who? is the inside story of how Wenger took Arsenal to the top of English football and changed the game forever.

This book is open access under a CC BY-NC 2.5 license. This book portrays men’s experiences of home alone leave and how it affects their lives and family gender roles in different policy contexts and explores how this unique parental leave design is implemented in these contrasting policy regimes. The book brings together three major theoretical strands: social policy, in particular the literature on comparative leave policy developments; family and gender studies, in particular the analysis of gendered divisions of work and care and recent shifts in parenting and work-family balance; critical studies of men and masculinities, with a specific focus on fathers and fathering in contemporary western societies and life-courses. Drawing on empirical data from in-depth interviews with fathers across eleven countries, the book shows that the experiences and social processes associated with fathers’ home alone leave involve a diversity of trends, revealing both innovations and absence of change, including pluralization as well as the constraining influence of policy, gender, and social context. As a theoretical and empirical book it raises important issues on modernization of the life course and the family in contemporary societies. The book will be of particular interest to scholars in comparing western societies and welfare states as well as to scholars seeking to understand changing work-life policies and family life in societies with different social and historical pathways.
The effusive memorial service has come to a solemn end. The mournful congregation of family and friends gather outside of the ominous doors of the funeral home. They weep deeply, hearing the sound of the hearse door being slammed shut, signifying the end of life. They take that tear-filled ride in the motorcade to the cemetery plot. The lowering of the casket into the grave is all that is left of a life once lived! They say their last goodbyes. Your loved one is gone forever...or are they? In this factual and mind-provoking book, you will read a myriad of absolutely true paranormal events, strange coincidences, hauntings, and some most mysterious occurrences. Every story has been the personal or shared experience of the author, and she is excited to share them with you. From her personal collection of recollections, this series evokes intrigue and mystery when it comes to the supernatural events that have become commonplace for Sherry in her everyday life. For Sherry, when it comes to ghosts or spirits, paranormal readings, premonitions, seeing the past or the future, or communicating with the dead, these are all just part of having the sixth sense, otherwise known as being clairvoyant. These stories reveal the many times Sherry has been contacted by the dearly departed, that their voices be heard, to deliver messages to the living. In some cases, spirits who have reached out were not always known to the living, but acknowledgment of their presence was still very necessary. In other cases, souls are just lost and cannot find their way to their heaven. Sometimes there were very frightening experiences, and other times, the experiences were coming from a place of love and desperation. You will also read about the results of paranormal encounters and also how delivering divine messages has forever impacted the recipients. Sherry has delivered many messages to people of many different faiths and cultures. She believes that she has been entrusted to be of divine service for this most precious undertaking. Sherry has this to say about faith: "Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to." Sherry's only hope is to be of service to those who suffer, and that includes the living and the dead. There is a favorite quote that Sherry loves to share. It was written by Herbert Spencer under the "Spiritual Experience" from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, which can be applied to just about any circumstance in life: "There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments, and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance--that principle is contempt prior to investigation."

Now, Stormy Harrison, is giving her a break and helping her get back on her feet. So when this big handsome man tells her that she’s his mate she’s scared to death. Aedan - It didn’t take long for Aedan’s family to convince him in the error of his ways, and when he saw what he’d done he felt like an ass. All he wanted to do was make it right, but could he grovel enough for her to accept him? Darcy - When Darcy caught Brooke’s scent, he knew he’d found his mate. Unfortunately, the beautiful recluse made no bones about telling him that she was alone and liked it that way, and that no man was barging in and taking over her orderly life. She was living her life just the way she wanted it and that didn’t include taking orders from a man—any man. He could get that thought right out of his head….

Riordan Harrison can’t believe it. Everyone is pissed at him, and he doesn’t see what the fuss is all about. All he did was tell the woman that she was his mate. He couldn’t help it that his tiger caused him to pin the woman to the counter, and she proceeded to throw him to the ground and cover him with sticky pastries. Now, no one will talk to him, including his secretary. He hasn’t claimed the woman yet, and it is all seeming like it’s more trouble than it’s worth. Storm Browning, Stormy to her friends, is a wounded war hero. She’s done her duty and just wants to live a quiet life―run her little bakery without any hitches. The majority of the men she commanded in the war had been shifters, so she wasn’t surprised when the big oaf sniffed her out, claiming that she was his mate. But that doesn’t mean she has to agree with it. What else could she do? He had to go. He’d hightail it and run anyway when he saw her scars―they all did. She couldn’t emotionally handle that, not again, at any rate. But if Riordan is going to get back on everyone’s good side, he’ll have to make peace with the woman. Even though he thinks he’s innocent, he’ll go for a visit and maybe apologize, but after he gets there, things go from bad to worse. Stormy is targeted for assassination, and he’s in the line of fire….
