An unthinkable terrorist plot: The earth is shaking. The clock is ticking.Astronomer Megan O’Malley sees things on a cosmic scale—hidden planets, colliding galaxies, imploding stars deep in the universe. But this time, she’s sensing something much closer to home. And she can feel it underfoot, too: explosive seismic shifts along a geologic fault line that could unleash an apocalyptic disaster. O’Malley also discovers something even more terrifying: the cataclysm is intentional. Someone is determined to trigger a mega tsunami.FBI Special Agent Chip Dawtry is a big-picture guy, too. He lost his brother on 9/11, and ever since, he’s focused on preventing the next massive terrorist attack. Now, it isn’t hypothetical—it’s unfolding fast. But only he and O’Malley see the peril.When O’Malley vanishes, Dawtry races to find her. It’s up to them to stop a 150-foot wall of water ready to roil—and wipe out America’s Eastern Seaboard. Each new terrifying rumble means it may be too late.

If you want to build your skills, boost your health, improve your work, and live an overall happier life, then keep reading...Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and thought, "You look dreadful"? Have you ever turned down a challenge that would have been fun to do and brought you real satisfaction, because you thought, "I'll only go and screw it up, I'd be better off not trying in the first place?" Have you ever felt you're a bit of a failure--at work, at personal relations, at being popular, or smart, or coping?Most of us have thoughts like that occasionally, and many of us think that's normal. But thoughts like these can, over time, sap your energy, close off opportunities, and even lead to depression. Negative thinking traps you in a vicious circle--because you expect failure, you don't take on challenges, or you set yourself up to fail. And when you fail, you believe that negative voice that told you failure was inevitable. But it's not true --and you can break out of that negative spiral, given the right insights and the right techniques.Some people think positive thinking is wishy-washy and dishonest. But positive thinking isn't about believing you can do anything. It's about concentrating on what you can do, rather than obsessing about what you can't. It's about being open to trying new activities, taking new opportunities, and learning new skills. It's about treating your failures as learning opportunities rather than disasters. It's about building the confidence that lets you feel it's okay not to succeed at every single thing you do, as long as you can learn and move on.Here's just a tiny fraction of what you'll discover:What is Happiness? A Few Thoughts to get StartedBreaking the Vicious CircleWhere Does Negativity Come From?A Sense of Self-WorthGoal Setting and Permission to FailImagery and Imagination - Your AlliesThe Virtuous Circle of Support, and Keeping on TrackMindset Habits and AffirmationsBe the Best You Can BeThe Spiritual Value of Positive ThinkingAnd much, much more!So if you want to learn more about positive thinking and how you can use it to improve your life, then scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!

In 1862, the U.S. gov t., as a reward to the aliens who served in the Union forces during the Civil War, allowed these vets. to petition for citizenship after receiving an honorable discharge. The 5-yr. residency requirement was reduced to 1-yr. There were over 950 vets. who petitioned the Phila. [County] District Court between 1862 & 1874 using their military service to satisfy the requirements for citizenship. The 1862 fed. law restricted the use of military service only to those vets. of the land forces. However, the clerks in Phila. granted citizenship to many vets. of the U.S. Navy & Marine Corps. The fed. gov t. did not grant non-army veterans the same rights until 1894. This index represents 15% of the total number of petitions filed in Phila. during this period.
