A romantic and legal tragedy giving a new name to the phrase - good versus evil. Richard, known as Creator and leader of the Eternal Champions, finds himself in the middle of an evil plot to put him in prison with the murder trial of the century. His entire life is fixed on doing good and fighting for the helpless, but he becomes one of the helpless and has to completely put his trust in his friends and the legal system. It's a battle of wits verses public opinion, but what no one expects is Richard's resolve to outweigh the scales of justice, even though the people he fights for label him a murderer. To make things worse, Mentalists under the rule of Michael, the Arch Magi of the Magistrate, use their illusion powers to kill citizens in the streets terrorizing the country making law enforcement take drastic measures to stop the criminals with their own telepathic army. Jared once thought as a friendly superhuman secret agent working for the government is exposed as the mastermind behind Richard's plight and the Magistrate's only link to their criminal activities. But the mystery of Jared's past allows him to go into hiding and ruthlessly execute his ultimately destructive operation. Jean, Director of the Counter Espionage Agency, runs off with Jared in a leap of faith to see a better future. Richard and Elizabeth learn about the destructive plots to kill them or at the very least disband their superhero group, authorized by Jean and executed by Jared. The hunt is on as heroes and villains abrasively turnover every rock for Jared and Jean's heads on a platter. However, Jared's plan and desire for revenge against Michael and the Magistrate gives his family a new future and the beginning of salvation for everyone on the planet. The superheroes find their prey, but Richard and the Eternal Champions are forced to decide between justice and what is best for all, even if it means some criminals go free.
Steve and four superhumans he never met before in his life assemble in the middle of a deserted island. The five superhumans meet in a time of turmoil during the Cold War and dawn of the South American revolution, but they're propelled to the future where they learn that the past is not set in stone. On top of it, everyone is way out of their comfort zone as they find out they're no longer on Earth, but on a planet called Arlos. Time travel is a thing many do not believe possible, but if you could go back in time, why would you? To change the past is a paradox which even superheroes seem not to escape from except that this time it's not a paradox for the five superhumans, known as the Five Ghosts. They are not from the future or present, and their time traveling present is our future. Steve, known as Stargazer, leads this band of brothers to find a way back home by saving Queen Cassandra and stopping Korvax from obtaining time traveling powers and disrupting the order of the universe. Steve has to fight against his own team as they learn to deal with the weird situation and their own assertive personalities. Steve grew up watching the stars with his unique superhuman vision, but seeing the Sun as a very small white dot from another galaxy stirs him into action as a leader and hero. Queen Cassandra is near death, but the Five Ghosts fight through an army of demonic aliens to revive her from a parallax prison chamber. The time comes when the Five Ghosts see the opportunity to return home, but what they return to is not the same world they learned to appreciate. Earth is in danger, and they're the only ones who can change history, or should it be said, the future? Stargazer, Ghost, Rat Bastard, Spot, and Master find themselves in the middle of a worldwide plot to assassinate leaders and superhumans. Their only advantage in stopping the onslaught is no one knows them.
The end of days is at hand with the appearance of super assassins and the unveiling of human and alien war machines. Rumors of wars and unnatural things to come are prophecies of ancient origins in scrolls, books, movies and even audio tapes, but only Joshua foresaw the devastation in the stars and on Earth. It was because of him that Earth stood a chance, but it hinged on people willing to fight for life against villains and aliens. Stargazer and his friends are placed in the middle of a wave of super assassins specifically targeting politicians and superhumans who can disrupt the Australian plan for world domination. In the midst of protective systems and perceived security, humans are forced to face the reality of their inability to stop the assassinations. Available in eBook and paperback format.
La Nueva Contribución a la Crítica de la Educación, del profesor Villegas, expone lo que llama inhibidores del aprendizaje y propone cómo podría ayudar a superarlos el aprendizaje basado en problemas. Establece con mayor fundamentación los principios de la teoría de la educación interactiva: la inversión copernicana en educación que cambia el sentido unilateral y vertical maestro-alumno del flujo conocimiento, el principio de educar por omisión que libera la mente del alumno de creencias y dogmas y, especialmente, de lo que llama la alienación epistemológica o falta de confianza en la propia capacidad de pensamiento, y el principio de conocer como acción-cognición con el concepto del sujeto de aprendizaje como receptos pero también como productor de conocimiento. El tema principal de la obra es el aprendizaje basado en problemas y el Sistema ABP, pero en el capítulo IV siembra lo que llama el germen de la universidad-proyecto y de la sociedad que se da un modelo educativo conformado por la tríada mente-escuela-sociedad. Fiel a su propio principio de que conocer es crear y que crear es hacer primero, tomados el primero del maestro mexicano Guillermo Héctor Rodríguez, y el segundo de la epistemología japonesa, baja sus teorías del cielo a la tierra e inicia una aventura editorial propia con la preparación y publicación de compendios que contienen lo esencial de cada disciplina, "lo que no puede dejar de saberse", para educación media y primera mitad de superior. Invita además a los maestros, al diseño de contenidos no lineales con los principios de la educación interactiva porque está consciente de que la formación de trabajadores del conocimiento, como se les llama, es una cuestión estratégica de supervivencia para cualquier sociedad y especialmente para las que están en vías de desarrollo y sufren los embates de la globalización financiera sin prevenirse contra ella.
Equality of opportunity is about leveling the playing field so that circumstances such as gender, ethnicity, place of birth, or family background do not influence a person s life chances. Success in life should depend on people s choices, effort and talents, not to their circumstances at birth. 'Measuring Inequality of Opportunities in Latin America and the Caribbean' introduces new methods for measuring inequality of opportunities and makes an assessment of its evolution in Latin America over a decade. An innovative Human Opportunity Index and other parametric and non-parametric techniques are presented for quantifying inequality based on circumstances exogenous to individual efforts. These methods are applied to gauge inequality of opportunities in access to basic services for children, learning achievement for youth, and income and consumption for adults.
2018 Outstanding Academic Title, selected by Choice Political Culture in Spanish America, 1500–1830 examines the nature of Spanish American political culture by reevaluating the political theory, institutions, and practices of the Hispanic world. Consisting of eight case studies with a focus on New Spain and Quito, Jaime E. Rodríguez O. demonstrates that the process of independence of Spanish America differs from previous claims. In 1188 King Alfonso IX convened the Cortes, the first congress in Europe that included the three estates: the clergy, the nobility, and the towns. This heritage, along with events in the sixteenth century, including the rebellion of Castilla and the Protestant Reformation, transformed the nature of Hispanic political thought. Rodríguez O. argues that those developments, rather than the Enlightenment, were the basis of the Hispanic revolution and the Constitution of 1812. Emphasizing continuity rather than the rejection of Hispanic political culture, and including the Atlantic perspective, Political Culture in Spanish America, 1500–1830 demonstrates the nature of the Hispanic revolution and the process of independence. Rodríguez O.’s work will encourage historians of Spanish America to reexamine the political institutions and processes of those nations from a broad perspective to gain a deeper understanding of the Spanish American countries that emerged from the breakup of the composite monarchy.

Doomsday survival prepping is a lifestyle and hobby for many people hoping to survive a catastrophic event or events, also known as the apocalypse, which have yet to seriously reveal its ugly head. This book guides any person to have an aggressive mindset with a clear focus to beat the odds by increasing survivability through effective planning and execution of preparation and construction efforts. This book tells you what you should be doing, and not waste your time and money on efforts which will in the end fail or provide a very small victory. Super volcanoes, global destroying meteors, the economic breakdown of a country, and biblical proportions of the last days as depicted in Revelations (like plagues, years of famine, massive deaths of people and animals) are addressed and examined; but more importantly is how to effectively gather resources, focus your preparation efforts, execute a well rounded plan, and prevent people from taking away your life and dreams of a better future. You will learn the best ways to develop a dynamic group of survivalists and family of people, all set on the goal to survive and repopulate the planet if need be. Examples of good, very good, and bad and extremely bad prepping practices are shown along with solutions to problems most preppers run into or should encounter if the preparation efforts are being properly built on top of each other. This book looks at other resources like other books, movies, shows, and organizations to improve your knowledge base and connect you to the people you should interact with the most. You will know how to identify the best location for your safe haven (bunker) and how to best protect it. You will know what it takes to be an effective leader, how to follow, and how to train other leaders.
