A long simmering border dispute between two perennial adversaries escalates into a cross-border war and an eventual nuclear confrontation. With volcanic activity contributing to the problem from a long dormant suboceanic ridge, the dust and debris from both sources are thrown high into the atmosphere, blanketing the northern hemisphere. Half of the world is paralyzed by excessive clouds and resultant unprecedented storms. An Arctic weather research base, also serving as a clandestine government installation listening post, becomes the scene of unexpected devastation and results in the occupants all struggling to survive. The beautiful director, her fiancee, and their Eskimo guide friends make exciting discoveries but then face multiple challenges to overcome the brutal elements and escape the icy grip of the Arctic. After one disastrous rescue mission failure only adds to their peril, any chance of aerial relief becomes impossible. Faced with the prospect of eventual starvation, trapped by the incessant storms, and with an unexpected adversary willing to eradicate their base, the occupants are forced to leave their shelter. The weather station personnel and their Native associates must formulate a plan to escape. Hope and assistance come from a surprising source.

In 1997, after surviving a devastating, disfiguring accident, a six-year-old waif from Honduras was brought to Madison, Wisconsin, where University Hospital's world-class reconstructive surgeons took her into their care. In this true story, her mother tells how the adventurous and resilient young Brenda immediately embraced seven complete strangers, adopting them as her foster family with hardly a backward glance. As an expected one-year stay turned into two years, then three, and then forever, Brenda submitted to more than fifty surgeries, facing each one with courage and good humor. She endured hundreds of therapy sessions, unimaginable pain, setbacks, and complications. But she kept a curious, friendly, indomitable, and forgiving spirit-never pitying herself or becoming bitter, angry, or entitled. As hundreds of medical professionals cared for her over the years, she also ministered to them in profound and inspiring ways. The experiences recounted in this book are extraordinary, not only because of Brenda's unusual childhood, but because she herself is not, and never has been, ordinary.

If extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI) exists elsewhere in our universe, any meaningful and absolute confirmation would require either a transformative announcement, global broadcast, single fantastic irrefutable event experience, or acknowledgment of a large accumulation of increasing evidence which equates to that historical revelation. The Humaniverse Guide to First Contact with ET embarks on an exploration of how ETI is viewed by theologians and their antagonists as well as by advocates and refuters alike. This work is a detailed investigation of how religious philosophy aligns with other worldviews and its potential reliability toward application and assistance in the development of a future relationship with ETI. The lens is focused on humankind's evolution of cognition, conjecture, logic, and knowledge about ETI as transformative toward these end points. As we know, the only way these end points can be resolved are through the eyes, experiences, and activities as undertaken by the only intelligent life-form of which we are aware-namely ourselves. Do you think your worldview about the meaning and purpose of life will be changed if and when ET comes calling?

This booklet describes the conflict between individual freedom (good) and collective force (evil). The author defines the Collective to be an assembly of elitists-people at the top of their fields in politics, academia, media, and the arts and sciences. Two characteristics define these elitists: greed and need-greed for never enough wealth and need for never enough power.Their prominence and prestige makes them feel entitled to rule. They write the laws and want sameness, obedience, and conformity. This flies in the face of the Bill of Rights which protects us from the government.Elitists have nothing but contempt for the individual. The group is everything. That belief makes it easier to rationalize murder. Likewise, elitists dismiss the Ten Commandments, the morality guide for millions. When "e;the end justify the means"e; is adopted by our leaders, morality goes away.Elitists reside in the Democrat Party and live on Hypocrisy Highway. Democrats used to speak for the average citizen. We have been betrayed. Democrats now wrap their arms around Marxism and one-world globalist government. Being good Marxists, they have become good liars, and they lie like sidewalks.How do we cope with this sickening realization? A healthy sense of skepticism is required. Let's borrow some advice from Peter Finley Dunn. A century ago, when asked who we can trust, he said (paraphrasing), "e;The answer to that question is simple. Trust everyone. But cut the cards."e;
Historical evidence has consistently demonstrated the inequalities endured by the downtrodden by so-called social norms. This book contains a tale that strives to implicate past hardships in conjunction with contemporary knowledge of the times through the ramifications following young ladies undergoing psychological evaluation and exorcism.In the wake of a global influenza, a world now destined to treachery and deception, the medical industry coveted for its science, and the church for its compassion are put to the test, as a psychiatrist finds himself coping with a dark secret from the past in a villa among the hills of Tuscany. Accompanied by his assistant and a local priest, together they witness the deaths of many within the corridors of the villa as they come to realize the hidden malice.Soon afterward, the assistant questions her mentor's reliability, and therapist becomes patient, companion becomes foe, and reality becomes madness. Trapped in the Italian countryside, the villa's residents come face-to-face with their demons while one tragedy leads to the next. Indeed, as the guilty make amends for past sins and the untreated plot revenge, one question comes to mind: Is reality in fact the truth, or is reality truly insanity?

My handsome, precious, well-mannered son, Kalan Timothy Joshua Smith aka Spook, may you rest in peace. The love for my son would never ever die. His father, Fitzroy Kenneth Smith Sr. This is a heads-up I'm going to give to the younger folks as I outlined earlier in this book. This is what caused the death of my son. The sickness that he developed in the last part of his life is very common in today's life. The sickness came from a blow to his head during an accident he had as a teenager. If you are getting headaches frequently from any type of blow to your head, seek medical help right away, such disease in your brain should be taken more seriously. I'm not saying that the blood clot in your brain is far worse than a blood clot in other parts of your body, but just remember, your brain does all the thinking. An aneurysm occurs when a blood vessel in the brain begins to grow like a balloon and bulge. This huge obstruction can lead and leak to rupturing that causes bleeding in the brain. Once an aneurysm has burst or broken, it becomes life-threatening. It can also go unnoticed.

Living a healthy, happy, active life now while helping others think outside the box. Through this journey, Stacey felt a passion and purpose to help others.
