Tax liens offer the same benefits as a mortgage, with even more safety. A tax lien takes a priority over any other lien on a piece of property. When you buy or broker tax lien certificates, you get the total security of the real estate on which the tax lien has been placed, as well as being in the senior position on any other liens that might exist.

El pensamiento es el gran poder del universo, pero para entenderlo debemos conocer sus principios fundamentales, las leyes inflexibles que sigue y que brindan libertad ilimitada al individuo. Thomas Troward nos muestra el inmenso poder que pueden otorgar las palabras «Yo Soy» o «el Verbo», escritos en la Biblia y que ninguna corriente filosófica ha podido igualar; además, nos muestra que a través de la palabra podemos alcanzar la Ley Perfecta, la cual es, en realidad, la ley de la libertad.

Every human life is made up of the light and the dark, the happy and the sad, the vital and the deadening. How you think about this rhythm of moods makes all the difference. Our lives are filled with emotional tunnels: the loss of a loved one or end of a relationship, aging and illness, career...

Richard Burton reads from Hardy and Donne, and performs a wonderful unabridged version of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" (along with Robert Hardy and John Neville).

In this devastating critique of the mindset behind the failed social policies of the past 30 years, Thomas Sowell sees what has happened not as a series of isolated mistakes, but as a logical consequence of a vision whose defects have led to disasters in education, crime, family disintegration, and more. This is an empirical study in which “politically correct” theory is repeatedly confronted with facts, and the sharp contradictions between the two are explained in terms of a set of self-congratulatory assumptions held by political and intellectual elites.

When John Durbeyfield discovers a family connection to the ancient Norman family, the D'Urbervilles, the fate of daughter Tess is transformed. Sent by her ambitious parents to visit her wealthy D'Urberville cousins, Tess attracts the attention of the unscrupulous Alec. Seduced and discarded by him and alone in the world, she finds work as a milkmaid and the love of Angel Clare. Yet his love cannot accept the truth about Tess's past.

Tess Durbeyfield has become one of the most famous female protagonists in 19th-century British literature. Betrayed by the two men in her life - Alec D’Urberville, her seducer/rapist and father of her fated child; and Angel, her intellectual and pious husband - Tess takes justice, and her own destiny, into her delicate hands. In telling her desperate and passionate story, Hardy brings Tess to life with an extraordinary vividness that makes her live in the heart of the reader long after the novel is concluded.
