Banking Her

Reprint of the original, first published in 1883.

When one Rulebook closes... Thatch and Cassie have finally found their perfect balance of good and sweet, crazy and playful, and most importantly, hot and insatiable. But what happens when they're faced with a surprise neither of them plotted or schemed? While Cassie seems to be taking everything in stride, Thatch can't stop himself from worrying about every little thing revolving around the woman he loves. How does a man handle that kind of anxiety? Doing the only thing he can to ease his mind without pushing away the woman he loves, Thatch proves that once again, when it comes to him and Cass, you'll never see what's coming. Another Playbook begins... Wes Lancaster has always followed one guideline for play. He never gets involved with anyone working for his professional football team, the New York Mavericks. It hasn't been a hard rule to live by. Until Winnie Winslow, the new take-no-sh*t team physician. She's beautiful, intelligent-and has no problem taking control of every situation. She pisses him off. She turns him on. As tension builds and desire heightens, Wes finds himself wondering how much longer he'll be able to follow his gameplan.

Banking on Milk takes the reader on a journey through the everyday life of donor human milk banking across the United Kingdom (UK) and beyond, asking questions such as the following: Why do people decide to donate? How do parents of recipients hear about human milk? How does milk donation impact on lifestyle choices? Chapters record the practical everyday reality of work in a milk bank by drawing on extensive ethnographic observations and sensitive interview data from donors, mothers of recipients and the staff of four different milk banks from across the UK, and visits to milk banks across Europe and North America. It discusses the ongoing pressures to do with supply, demand and distribution. An empirically informed "ethnography of the contemporary", where both biosociality and biopower abound, this book includes an exploration of how milk banks evolved from registering wet nurses with hospitals, showing how a regulatory culture of medical authority began to quantify and organize human milk as a commodity. This book is a valuable read for all those with an interest in breastfeeding or organ and tissue donation from a range of fields, including midwifery, sociology, anthropology, geography, cultural studies and public health.

Conclusion Authors Bio Publisher Introduction I got this idea as an eye-opener about American banking processes and systems and their comparison with other systems all over the world, when I was speaking to my publisher, Mr. Davidson about the amount of interest being paid by American banks to their account holders. When he said 0.25%. I was shocked. Literally open mouthed. For a moment I thought 25%, which was pretty high and in keeping with the prosperous state of American finances and economy as seen through the rest of the world. But when I saw the decimal point, it was – I Do Not Believe That. In America? Not even 2.5%? The rest of the world looks up to America as one of the great financial leaders of the world. However, Americans do not know that for more than 250 years, they are being regularly stolen from, by their own bankers because naturally the bankers are not going to educate them or inform them about the unethical banking practices practiced down the generations, and they have been getting away with that with impunity. This book is an eye-opener, written by an ex-banker, So Friends, Brothers, Americans, lend me thy ears, I come not to praise your banking system, but to bury it. In this book, you are going to get to know all about America’s history of banking, this system’s encouragement of your reliance on credit cards, depth, consolidation, mortgage system, and other practices, which you have taken for granted because your parents and their parents and their parents did that.
