Did you know that many of America's Founding Fathers were not Christians, but were members of a well-known secret society? Or that the two mainstream Presidential candidates in the 2004 election were both initiated into the same exclusive secret organization, which goes under the name of 'Skull and Bones'? And how exactly did the esoteric symbolism on the dollar bill come to be put there? 'The Guide to Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol' is the ultimate source for further information on the intriguing topics discussed in the long-awaited sequel to 'The Da Vinci Code'. The Guide will reveal to readers the fascinating truth about the hidden history of America and influence of Freemasonry upon the founding of the nation, the bizarre modern research unveiling the mysteries of the human mind, and the esoteric traditions from the ancient world which continue to influence some of the world's most powerful individuals.

This collection of articles addresses the most modern forms of loss reserving methodology: granular models and machine learning models. New methodologies come with questions about their applicability. These questions are discussed in one article, which focuses on the relative merits of granular and machine learning models. Others illustrate applications with real-world data. The examples include neural networks, which, though well known in some disciplines, have previously been limited in the actuarial literature. This volume expands on that literature, with specific attention to their application to loss reserving. For example, one of the articles introduces the application of neural networks of the gated recurrent unit form to the actuarial literature, whereas another uses a penalized neural network. Neural networks are not the only form of machine learning, and two other papers outline applications of gradient boosting and regression trees respectively. Both articles construct loss reserves at the individual claim level so that these models resemble granular models. One of these articles provides a practical application of the model to claim watching, the action of monitoring claim development and anticipating major features. Such watching can be used as an early warning system or for other administrative purposes. Overall, this volume is an extremely useful addition to the libraries of those working at the loss reserving frontier.

Over the last two decades, Bethel Church in Redding, California, has risen to prominence in the area of signs and wonders ministry. The kinds of miracles seen in the ministries of Jesus and the New Testament Church are manifesting, not only through Bethel's leadership team (e.g. Bill Johnson and Kris Vallotton), but also ordinary, everyday people - both within the church, and to an even greater extent outside of its four walls. For example, the blind are receiving their sight, the deaf hearing, and many incurable diseases are being cured. Furthermore, every major sphere of society, including government and politics, business, education, the arts and entertainment, and popular culture, is being impacted for the Kingdom, through the power of God.

When former professional researcher Greg Taylor went to Bethel Church to study at its ministry school (the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry), he became curious as to why they are so successful at seeing the supernatural manifest, compared to most other churches - in things like healing and prophecy. And after considering this question, he quickly realized that it isn't due to anything special about either the church's physical location or any of its people. What he discovered was that the decisive factor, instead, is Bethel's signs and wonders culture.

This then led to him investigating the culture, to try to determine what is so special about it. Following months of analysis, both experientially as a BSSM student and through the detailed research of many of their published materials, he came to the conclusion that there are only really 10 key components of it, which can all be learned quickly and easily.

In this book, Greg reveals these 10 secrets of Bethel's signs and wonders culture, and explains in great detail how you can use them to create your own similar culture, and thereby unleash the supernatural power of God in your life too.

You will learn:

• The beliefs and mindsets that you need to embrace (and the ones that you absolutely must avoid ) to consistently move in the miraculous.
• The action steps that you need to take to make the supernatural natural in your life.
• How to see signs and wonders take place through partnering with God.
• Two common mistakes that many Christians make, which lead to them failing to effectively partner with God (and how to avoid these).
• The identity that we need to have to consistently see signs and wonders.
• The problems of seeing ourselves as sinners saved by grace.
• The lie that keeps many people in a pauper state.
• What exactly the Kingdom of God is (Hint: it is not what many Christians think it is).
• How our eschatology (view of the end times) affects our level of impact on the world for the Kingdom - including the degree to which we operate in miracles, signs and wonders.
• The difference between the Gospel of the Kingdom and the Gospel of Salvation, and why this distinction is important.
• The Seven Mountains Strategy for advancing the Kingdom.
• What the apostolic is and why it is so important to the Church today.
• Bethel's approach to evangelism and why it is so much more effective than the evangelism done by most Christians today.
• The importance of empowering women in ministry.
• The four key elements of improving your ability to operate in the supernatural.
• How to create a safe prophetic culture.
• How to step out in faith successfully.
• How to see results in healing ministry.
• What Paul's thorn in the flesh actually was (and no, it was not a physical ailment).

Did Steve Jobs have a vision of the afterlife on his death-bed? Does quantum physics suggest that our mind might survive the physical death of our body? How do some near-death experiencers 'see' outside of their bodies at a time when they are supposed to be dead? In 'Stop Worrying There Probably is an Afterlife', author Greg Taylor covers all these questions and more. From Victorian seance rooms through to modern scientific laboratories, Taylor surveys the fascinating history of research into the survival of human consciousness, and returns with a stunning conclusion: that maybe we should stop worrying so much about death, because there probably is an afterlife.

Winner of the M.M. Bennett Award for Historical Fiction, announced in June 2015. 'LUSITANIA R.E.X' is an historical account of the sinking of the Lusitania replete with spies and secret societies, super weapons, millionaires and martyrs. After being struck by a single torpedo on May 7th 1915, the Lusitania sank in only eighteen minutes. Passengers such as Alfred Vanderbilt, one of the wealthiest men in the world, ignored warnings from the German embassy, confident the fastest ship in the world could outrun enemy submarines. Since the time of her sinking, the Lusitania has been wrapped in mystery and intrigue. Experts continue to debate the cause of the second explosion that sealed her fate after the torpedo struck. Imperial Germany immediately claimed she was loaded with explosives destined for the front. LUSITANIA R.E.X weaves a tale around disputed facts to create a plausible explanation of some of the mysteries surrounding her sinking. Greg Taylor's passion for research has led him to develop first-hand relationships with the descendants of some of the characters in the book, including the Duke of Marlborough and Alfred G Vanderbilt III. He was drawn to the tale of Lusitania because he was fascinated by the cataclysm of elegant Edwardian society caused by the brutal warfare the industrial success of that society made possible. His passion for research and discovery has taken him to the numerous historical sites that appear in the book. Undergraduate studies in history at Williams College in Massachusetts and the University of Durham, England, are reflected in the book. Greg attended the School of Management at Yale University where he lives one block from The Tomb of Skull and Bones. London has been Greg's home since 2000 and he has divided his investment banking and asset management career between New York and London.

How was it that the Torrens system, a mid-nineteenth-century reform of land titles registration from distant South Australia, gradually replaced the inherited Anglo-Canadian common law system of land registration? In The Law of the Land, Greg Taylor traces the spread of the Torrens system, from its arrival in the far-flung outpost of 1860s Victoria, British Columbia, right up to twenty-first century Ontario.

Examining the peculiarity of how this system of land reform swept through some provinces like wildfire, and yet still remains completely unknown in three provinces, Taylor shows how the different histories of various regions in Canada continue to shape the law in the present day. Presenting a concise and illuminating history of land reform, he also demonstrates the power of lobbying, by examining the influence of both moneylenders and lawyers who were the first to introduce the Torrens system to Canada east of the Rockies.

An exact and fluent legal history of regional law reforms, The Law of the Land is a fascinating examination of commonwealth influence, and ongoing regional differences in Canada.

Dem englischen Ansatz folgend haben die australischen Gerichte auf die Entwicklung eines allgemeinen Pers nlichkeitsrechts verzichtet. Dagegen sind sie zum Teil vom englischen Erbe auf dem eng verwandten Gebiet des Diffamierungsrechts abgewichen. Anhand einer historischen Analyse und eines Vergleichs mit dem deutschen und dem U.S.-amerikanischen Recht werden diese Entwicklungen dargestellt und ihre Gr nde er rtert. Dabei werden auch die M glichkeiten der richterlichen Rechtsfortbildung in England und Australien auf dem Gebiet des Pers nlichkeitsschutzes angesprochen.

Gone with the Wind an inspiration for the American avant-garde? Mickey Mouse a crucial source for the development of cutting-edge intellectual and aesthetic ideas? As Greg Taylor shows in this witty and provocative book, the idea is not so far-fetched. One of the first-ever studies of American film criticism, Artists in the Audience shows that film critics, beginning in the 1940s, turned to the movies as raw material to be molded into a more radical modernism than that offered by any other contemporary artists or thinkers. In doing so, they offered readers a vanguard alternative that reshaped postwar American culture: nonaesthetic mass culture reconceived and refashioned into rich, personally relevant art by the attuned, creative spectator.
