Michael Ouellette woke up after three of the five days spent in ICU at the Hospital of Yellowknife. On the third of the five days spent in ICU at the hospital in Yellowknife, Michael Ouellette woke up with little, to no memory of what happened that shocked even his wife who sat right by his bedside. Through the efficient efforts of the Medevac team, he was flown 190 miles out of the isolated mine site north of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. The next 28 days under the care of the skilled team of medical professionals was just the beginning of a roller coaster ride of challenges as he worked through reorientation to a life altogether different from what he was used to. As life hands him limes and lemons, he looks at the new meaning of adventure in his life with humor and insight, just thankful to be alive. Death snatched him away but he managed to slip through its fingers like grains of sand. His second chance at life proves that the Great Spirit is more powerful than death. An acquired brain injury poses a twist to this new beginning as Ouellette pulls you into his world.
Universal Credit is the DWP's single biggest programme and enjoys cross-party support, yet its implementation has been extraordinarily poor. The failure to develop a comprehensive plan has led to extensive delay and the waste of a yet to be determined amount of public money. £425 million has been spent so far on the programme. It is likely that much of this, including at least £140 million worth of IT assets, will now have to be written off. Lack of day-to-day control meant early warning signs were missed, with senior managers becoming aware of problems only through ad hoc reviews. Pressure to deliver a programme of this magnitude within such an ambitious timescale created a fortress cultu...

Tom Brokaw called them The Greatest Generation, these veterans of World War II. They were the young innocents who left their farms, their small towns and big cities to engage in the most devastating war the world has ever seen. A war that would forever change their lives, as it would the world, and, most of all, the United States. Perpetuation is the story of how three families, specifically their three sons and their friends, made the transition from their Irish Catholic roots in Astoria, New York, to the battlefields of Europe and then home to the uncertainty of civilian life in the aftermath of this terrible war. Three childhood comrades, Mike McCann, Tom Finn and John Kelly, along with their families and friends provide an interwoven story of love, hate, danger and, most of all, the passion of people striving to succeed in a post-war environment.
This book began as the response to a wondrous feel good moment experienced by its author. He described it as such a wonderful glow that seemed like disclosure of an amazing secret he had always kept even from himself. It was a rare moment which the author felt as Beautiful NOW, wherein there was no guilt, no blame and no shame. There was only "Beautiful ME" within that Beautiful NOW, the author realized. He set out to attempt to describe the moment, as well as to attempt to review the long, widely eventful life that had brought him to "Beautiful NOW, Beautiful ME." The author had sought self love for a lengthy lifetime, and came to know he had attained that realization, even if only in a brief instant. Free at Last, was the joyful response.
