I loved the evocation of scents, skilful shifts of suspicion and the satisfying conclusion." —Frances Brody “The scent of murder and betrayal fills the Paris air . . . The climactic surprise makes this the best of her mysteries to date.” —Kirkus Reviews “For pity’s sake, darling, let me finish my coffee before you begin concocting schemes.” When Amory Ames’s husband Milo receives a troubling letter from his childhood nanny, Madame Nanette, the couple travel to Paris where they become embroiled in a mystery surrounding the death of a famous parfumier. Helios Belanger died suddenly, shortly before the release of his new, highly anticipated perfume, and Madame Nanette, who works for his family, is convinced that her employer’s death was not due to natural causes. The more Amory and Milo look into the motives of industry rivals and the Belanger heirs who are vying for control of his perfume empire, the more they are convinced that Madame Nanette may be right. When secrets unfold and things take a dangerous turn, Amory and Milo must work quickly to uncover the essence of the matter and catch a killer before the scent goes cold.

Murder is not her department. It’s not like it used to be. Modern-day grim reapers wear business casual, not black cloaks, and they don’t carry scythes, they work for S. C. Y. T. H. E. (Secure Collection, Yielding, and Transportation of Human Essences), where the Department of Natural Causes is the least exciting gig. And that’s how Kathy Valence likes it: boring and predictable. She has enough stress in her personal life; she’s mid-divorce, pregnant, and terrified she doesn’t have what it takes to be a good mom. Then, she goes to pick up a new client and finds his soul is missing. When she finally tracks down Conner Ortiz, he angrily insists he was murdered, and he refuses to move on until Kathy finds out why and by whom. Kathy has only forty-five days to solve the mystery before the boy’s soul is doomed to roam the earth as a ghost forever. To do that she’ll have to call on the help of her retired mentor, her almost ex-husband—and, inconveniently, Conner himself. This is the wildest case of her career . . . and one wrong move could cost Kathy her job, not to mention her life.

PRESENTATION; What is ESSENCES OF GOD actually? It is like buying a ticket to enter a quantum field as an observer, each of the ESSENCES OF GOD is one order, one layer, a journey from 99 to 1. What is conceivable, what is conceivable here? When interacting with that rank, attaining the ability to internalize its truth through reason means reaching the absolute truth by advancing layer by layer on the journey of truth. Why does this system exist? The system is a system designed entirely on the level of servitude, one of the kinds of creatures created by the Creator, and the use of the soul-loving person as an observer, not for others because only human beings have intelligence, others are not. Others are other types and have other mechanics. Among them are the angels, demons, and intermediate species such as the fairy, none of them have a soul, they have something like a soul. It is a rope that connects with the Creator, but that rope is not the soul. Melek acts with light energy, let's not go into that subject too much, we told it a lot. Demons move with layer energy. what is layer energy? Since they are in a cycle in a certain frequency range, they use the intelligence of that frequency, they have no intelligence. Something that is in the mind owners does not exist in any other, we call it insight. What we call insight is to weigh and decide on a measure. What makes human beings human is that they have the ability and the authority to make decisions. No other being, of course, has no authority and power to make decisions in known beings, the difference is here. What is decision making? It is the ability to make decisions that establishes the link between quantum mechanics and man. Decision making person materializes an ongoing etheric system as soon as he decides. Let me give an example, the example is valid for ESSENCES OF GOD. You know what a wheel of fortune is, think of a spinning wheel with segments on it, wheels that are layered in circles stacked one after the other. Let there be letters on each of them and they are constantly spinning, but you can stop these wheels whenever you want, you have such power. For example, turn the cogs to write a word or phrase. If a person just wanted to see the letter -A-, he stops the wheels, when he catches the letter A, his work is done, he walks away. Another searches for a word, another is a sentence, and another does not leave the wheels to find that name used by Jesus Christ, who made the creation, the secret name of the Creator. In order to reach the truth, it is necessary to move from one state to another, so that each ESSENCES OF GOD corresponds to one aspect of the truth. When a person communicates with one of those names, he becomes an observer to the truth of that layer, and does this through reason. The creator has coded the mind of man accordingly, he can access the secrets of truth with his mind. What is mind - what is logic, how is it different? Logic means taking position, taking the most useful position you establish between yourself and other objects during an instant event is to make logic. For example, taking the shortest route is to create an equation between the conditions of the space, such as the least damage or the most profit. Reason, on the other hand, is based on a certain principle, the principle in this account is to reach one, and since we will reach the hanger one on which we hang the ropes, making choices in the way of reaching one without considering benefit-profit-loss means using reason. Logic equals self, mind equals spirit. Any decision without the soul is not a mind decision because the soul basically uses the conscience as a scales, it can also consent to what is not for its benefit from the apparent, only because the conscience wants it or believes that the choice should be that way on the way to the truth. On this journey, we will go through the layers of 99 essences and tell you about each of them in quantum mechanics. Ibn Arabi says; I examined the order and meanings of ESSENCES OF GOD in my own way - with reason - I understood ESSENCES OF GOD, but I did not explain to explain them as required by the period, but in my book I made an evaluation on T Kırmızı's list. The ranking of 99 essences was generally made by T Kırmızı. What is ESSENCES OF GOD? Expressing the beautiful names of GOD in terms of ranks and ranges, Ibn Arabi calls the doors of state opening from one to the other, the road to the truth. Ibn Arabi; While describing the ESSENCES OF GOD, he expresses how the existence of ESSENCES OF GOD can only exist with the human mind and that 99 names have been created only for the human mind and how man will pass from one name to another in order to become one with truth and unity. Think of it like a pyramid, it narrows from the bottom to the top, and all the lines meet in one point. ESSENCES OF GOD are lines and they all meet in truth at one point. The place where all the names come together means the completed place, and the human reaches the last point by passing from state to state.

Border Killers delves into how recent Mexican creators have reported, analyzed, distended, and refracted the increasingly violent world of neoliberal Mexico, especially its versions of masculinity. By looking to the insights of artists, writers, and filmmakers, Elizabeth Villalobos offers a path for making sense and critiquing very real border violence in contemporary Mexico. Villalobos focuses on representations of "border killers" in literature, film, and theater. The author develops a metaphor of "maquilization" to describe the mass-production of masculine violence as a result of neoliberalism. The author demonstrates that the killer is an interchangeable cog in a societal factory of violence whose work is to produce dead bodies. By turning to cultural narratives, Villalobos seeks to counter the sensationalistic and stereotyped media depictions of border residents as criminals. The cultural works she examines instead indict the Mexican state and the global economic system for producing agents of violence. Focusing on both Mexico's northern and southern borders, Border Killers uses Achille Mbembe's concept of necropolitics and various theories of masculinity to argue that contemporary Mexico is home to a form of necropolitical masculinity that has flourished in the neoliberal era and made the exercise of death both profitable and necessary for the functioning of Mexico's state-cartel-corporate governance matrix.

He was the only survivor at Roswell in 47. They moved him to Area 51 in order to retro-engineer his spacecraft and squeeze as much information out of him as they could. And they thought they had everything under control as construction of his unique aircraft neared completion sixty-eight years later. But they were wrong. Autopsies on his crewmates showed that he had no vocal cords. He couldnt speak, but then he didnt have tohe could read human thoughts. From day one he knew what they were thinking. He could tell that they were never going to let him go! So he planned his escape. While they were studying his scientific advances, he was putting together a small team to help him bust out of Area 51. With only four humans with whom he could communicate telepathically, he inched closer to freedom. But escape wasnt the only problem. He had to prevent the US Military and the CIA from pursuing him after his escape. Even worse, they might follow him home in his own designed spacecraft. In order to prevent that, he would have to steal their almost completed spaceship and bring down the force behind the military and CIAthe United States Government. Impossible? Of course not! With help from the Master, it was even probable. His escape would change the world, just like the death of his half-brother, Jesus Christ, over 2000 years ago. They would have much to talk about when he got home.

Chosen by NPR and the Washington Post as one of the best crime & mystery novels of 2008, Small Crimes is now a major film starring Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones' Jaime Lannister) Bent copper Joe Denton gets out of prison suspiciously early after disfiguring the district attorney. Nobody wants Joe to hang around, not his ex-wife, his parents or his former colleagues - if he had any decency he'd get out of town and start over. Unfortunately, Joe has precious little decency - and a whole lot of unfinished business to attend to. A tale of redemption and revenge as dark and violent as it's bitterly comic, Small Crimes is the UK debut of hard-boiled hotshot Dave Zeltserman.
