In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries northwestern Mexico was the scene of ongoing conflict among three distinct social groups—Indians, religious orders of priests, and settlers. Priests hoped to pacify Indians, who in turn resisted the missionary clergy.

Kelly was a pro until his niece was murdered right before his eyes. His family says he failed her, but Kelly can’t share his one shocking, secret—and criminal—act of vengeance. Now, fellow detectives digging in another case can end Kelly’s career and send him to jail. Kelly must ignore this looming doom and focus on protecting a boy from his pedophile father in a slam-dunk trial. Except the hotshot defense attorney is his new girlfriend Rachel Cohen, who shares wonderful news but hides her duty to destroy him on the stand. And she can’t reveal that she’s investigating a twisted team of drug cops. While his friends work in secret to save him, Kelly is forced to the breaking point—and beyond.
The party has coped successfully with the needs of a multiethnic population, claims for more extensive human rights, the nascent development of a civil society, and the problems of defending a small country in a turbulent region.".
Semenjak peristiwa yang hampir saja meregangkan nyawanya, Jaya tak mau lagi memejamkan mata. Karena bisa saja ia benar benar mati. Peristiwa itu pun perlahan menyeretnya hingga lupa pada jati diri, sampai ia merasakan lubang menganga dalam tubuh. Sebuah kerinduan yang tak tuntas. Entah pada siapa entah tentang apa. Sebuah kesempatan didapatinya saat segalanya menjadi hancur lebur gegara insomnia akut yang diderita. Sepucuk surat dari Eyang Wiro, yang mengundangnya bergabung dalam bisnis: Perjalanan Sukma. Eyang Wiro menyadari bakat terpendam yang dimiliki Jaya, mengajarinya seluk beluk perjalanan sukma atau yang lebih dikenal dengan perjalanan astral. Lama-lama Jaya terbiasa dengan kutukan yang ia derita, mengubahnya menjadi keahlian peraup pundi-pundi uang. Tak dinyana, segala yang ia lakoni berujung pada terbukanya pintu-pintu alam dunia yang tak ia kira ternyata ada. Segala kekosongan dan kegamangan jiwa, rindu yang tak tuntas, jati diri, cinta sejati, akal bulus terkuak pada akhirnya. Kemampuannya amatlah berbahaya
Renewable-energy is energy that is collected from renewable resources that are naturally replenished on a human timescale. Renewable-energy includes sources such as sunlight, tides, waves, wind, rain, and geothermal heat. According to BP's-2018 Energy Outlook (EO), renewable energy will be the fastest growing source of energy, increasing fivefold by 2040 thus providing around 14% of global primary energy at this future point. On the other hand, climate change is bringing about rising temperatures, which have significant negative impacts on humans and the environment, and transitioning to renewable energy sources, such as biofuels, can help meet this challenge. Transitioning to renewable ener...
This volume discusses how national and local social security in Indonesia has changed over the past decades and in particular during the economic and political crisis of the late 20th and early 21st century. The contributions, based on case studies from urban and rural Java, focus on the evolution of existing formal and informal institutions providing social security and at the ways in which people create access to such institutions and develop strategies to handle insecurities. The main conclusion is that informal institutions providing support to those who need it, more and more tend to exclude the poor and weak sections of society, and that government policy in this field is only beginning to address these major social issues.
