Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

In "Twelve Years in the Saddle for Law and Order on the Frontiers of Texas," Sergeant W. J. L. Sullivan offers a vivid and personal account of law enforcement and frontier life in post-Civil War Texas. Blending autobiographical narrative with an authentic portrayal of the socio-political challenges of the time, Sullivan's prose is both gripping and evocative. His experiences are situated within the broader context of the expansion of law and order in a rapidly changing American West, where the clash between justice and lawlessness often played out against a backdrop of violence and societal upheaval. The book is marked by its detailed descriptions of the landscape and the complexities of human interactions in a frontier environment, serving as both a memoir and a historical document. Sergeant W. J. L. Sullivan, a dedicated lawman, and seasoned frontier soldier, draws from over a decade of experience in Texas law enforcement. His insights are shaped not only by his professional duties but also by the tumultuous historical events that defined the era, including Native American conflicts, cattle drives, and the emergence of new settlements. Sullivan's motivation to write this book points to a desire to document the resilience and struggles of his contemporaries as they forged a path toward civilization in untamed lands. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in American frontier history, law enforcement, and personal narratives that shed light on the complexities of life in the Wild West. Sullivan's first-hand accounts and engaging storytelling make for an enlightening read for both historians and general audiences alike, offering a unique window into a pivotal time in American history.

Experiential and Somatic...

Vivian Westlake

This book contains 4 books, which are:
Somatic Experiencing - Trauma is a deeply impactful event that can leave lasting scars on the body and mind. While traditionally associated with physical injury or life-threatening events, trauma also encompasses psychological and emotional experiences that overwhelm the body's ability to cope. These experiences can range from major events, such as accidents, abuse, or natural disasters, to more subtle forms of chronic stress and neglect. Regardless of the cause, trauma has profound effects on the nervous system and the way individuals experience the world around them.
Equine-Assisted Therapy - Horses have long been admired for their strength, grace, and beauty, but their role in human healing extends far beyond these physical qualities. Over the years, research and practice have increasingly shown that horses possess a unique ability to promote emotional, psychological, and even physical well-being. Equine-Assisted Therapy (EAT) leverages this connection between humans and horses to foster healing in individuals facing a variety of challenges, from trauma and mental health struggles to physical disabilities.
Art Therapy - Art has been an integral part of human expression for millennia, transcending language and culture to communicate thoughts, emotions, and experiences. In the realm of therapy, art serves as a transformative tool, offering individuals a unique way to process their emotions, explore their identities, and navigate life’s challenges.
Music Therapy - Music has long been recognized as a universal language, transcending cultural and linguistic barriers to evoke emotions, inspire creativity, and foster connections. Its profound ability to influence the human mind and body makes it a powerful tool in the realm of healing.

CEO Led Sales - The new model to...

Andrew Phillips

CEO-Led Sales outlines The Right Model to revolutionise your sales process and dramatically improve your confidence in the predictability of your sales numbers. This has to start from the top with you, the CEO.
As the CEO of a sales organisation, how many times have you said to yourself:
"thank god our customers are buying because we're not selling"
"we had ten-times pipeline coverage, but we still missed our number?"
Or ... heard from your sales leads the following:
"the person who was going to sign off on our deal has gone on leave"
"this is a strategic deal - we must discount to win"
"they decided to do nothing?"
If these lines sound familiar, then your sales team is stuck in the past. They are struggling to keep pace
with the market and will continue to stumble into the future. That's not to say you won't make your
numbers on occasion, but you can be guaranteed your company won't be the clear leader in its market.
This creates distrust with your sales team and that uneasy feeling of not being sure you will meet your
targets.
Is there a better way?
After twenty years as a senior IT sales leader addressing this problem and demonstrating measurable
success across multiple organisations, Andrew Phillips knows there is.
CEO-Led Sales outlines The Right Model to revolutionise your sales process and dramatically improve
your confidence in the predictability of your sales numbers. This has to start from the top with you, the
CEO.
The process is a multi-year investment to transform your sales organisation. It's challenging, but the
results are consistent and the revenue reliable. Andrew Phillips invites you to take the next step and
discover the benefits of CEO-Led Sales.

Off the Mark - How Grades...

Ethan L. Hutt, Jack Schneider

Anyone who has ever crammed for a test, capitulated to a grade-grubbing student, or fretted over a child's report card knows that the way we assess student learning in American schools is freighted with unintended consequences. As experts agree, our primary assessment technologies—grading, rating, and ranking—don't actually provide an accurate picture of how students are doing in school. Worse, they distort student and educator behavior in ways that undermine learning and exacerbate inequality. Yet despite widespread dissatisfaction, grades, test scores, and transcripts remain the currency of the realm. 
 
 
 
In Off the Mark, Jack Schneider and Ethan Hutt explain how we got into this predicament, why we remain beholden to outmoded forms of assessment, and what we can do to change course. They offer a range of practical reforms, like embracing multiple measures of performance and making the so-called permanent record "overwritable." As they explain, we can remake our approach in ways that better advance the three purposes that assessment currently serves: motivating students to learn, communicating meaningful information about what young people know and can do, and synchronizing an otherwise fragmented educational system. Off the Mark is a guide for everyone who wants to ensure that assessment serves the fundamental goal of education—helping students learn.

Bible Prophecies

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
 
The Bible is a book made of many books. It is philosophy and faith, law and life. From poetry to psalms, it is a work of love to a deity that finds its origins in times long before the Hebrews had ever been heard of. But one element of the Bible has been used as evidence that God exists. That he has a plan for the world. That he gave us knowledge of that plan via his prophets. This is Bible Prophecy. 
 
There are numerous passages in the Bible that tell us about the communications between God and humanity. It is known as a revelation from the divine. A future revealed. 
 
There is not specific book in the Bible that has all the prophecies; they are widely spread. Many of them have conditions. Most are from the words of the prophets but some are given as direct communication from God himself. 
 
Over the past two thousand years these prophecies have vexed mankind for one main reason - interpretation. And therein lies a problem we need to get to the bottom of. Who to believe? 
 
Welcome to a fantastic world of predicted births and ends of the world. Welcome to Bible Prophecies.
