The Golden Box came from an idea from the kids' perspective that anything golden is a treasure. The kids in the story would collect different items from the town dump and put them into a box, which they would be influenced by three witches' spell and transferred them back in time and forward into the future struggling to find their one lost friend. There was nothing spectacular about the beat-up cardboard box; it was the contents that made it the golden box. As the saying goes, "One man's garbage is another man's treasure," hence, golden.

Irvin R. Athearn was a pioneer in model trains beginning in the late 1940s. He started in his garage putting together O Gauge metal car kits then expanded them to include HO Scale kits. Around the mid-1950s, as a result of the purchase of Globe models, he began producing the iconic F-7 A and B Units in molded plastic. Soon after that came a whole line of plastic freight cars and locomotives.Our first book, The Standard Guide to Athearn Model Trains, documented the production of those models from the beginning of the plastic models through 1997. The Athearn Collector's Companion covers the original Guide, including models discovered since publication that book, plus all the kits produced until the end of production in October 2009.The original Guide contained approximately 4,000 entries; this book contains about 9,500. We believe you will enjoy the results of our labors as much as we have enjoyed documenting all these model kits...

Fifty light-years away from our planet and just under fifty years ago, two rogue black holes collided. The epic cosmological merger resulted in the creation of the most powerful force in the universe--a gamma-ray burst.Releasing more energy in a few seconds than our own sun will in its entire ten-billion-year life span, it fired away from the center of the newly formed black hole at the speed of light, headed for Earth. With only six months until its arrival, no one is aware that all life is soon to be irradiated out of existence. No one that is except for an amazingly gifted ten-year-old girl with a mild form of autism and her deceased twin brother.Gamma Jean Proctor along with her brother, Ray, learned before his death that they possessed "special" abilities that enabled the twins to enter the world of subatomic particles by using the strength of their minds. In this quantum world, as they came to call it, they were able to discover the impending doom that was fast approaching Earth and even began to devise a way to manipulate particles in that world in a way that could possibly divert the gamma-ray burst. Unfortunately, Gamma's brother along with their father died in a tragic car accident before the twins could finalize their plan.With time running out, Gamma, with the help of her dead brother who she was able to communicate with, reached out with their "special" abilities to enlist the help of three strangers who possessed their own unique gifts. It was hoped that the three strangers, with training from the ten-year-old girl, might be able to replace her lost brother in the twins' plan to save all of humanity.Noted psychiatrist John Tate, movie star Jessie Mortenson, and Princeton doctoral student Beta Whittmere were summoned to the home of Gamma Proctor by a revelation that was imparted to them in a way that they could perceive because of their uniqueness.With the four gathered, they quickly formed a tight bond as they undertook the seemingly impossible task of learning to act as one in the quantum world, a task they would have to quickly master if humanity had any chance for survival.

When Jim Sayre was a totally blind child growing up in Zanesville, Ohio, in the 1940s and '50s, blind children were typically steered into occupations caning chairs or tuning pianos. "Or selling pencils on street corners," Jim says. No way he was going to settle for that.With the help of a loving mother who saw the wisdom of integrating a blind child into the sighted world and Jim's own innate determination--he might call it stubbornness--Jim overcame the obstacles and prejudices blind children faced in those times. As an adult, with the support of his wife, Vicki, and their four children, he built an exemplary life of achievement and success in academia, state government, and the music business. Along the way, he managed to pack in a large share of fun, fine music, love, and laughter.Blind people like Jim who succeed in the sighted world must have extraordinary levels of determination, memory skills that put the sighted to shame, and an awesome drive to persevere and persevere--and persevere some more--while overcoming obstacles that you, you sighted person reading this now, can barely imagine.What does it take? How did Jim Sayre do it? Read Jimmy and be inspired by the human spirit of a person who insisted on developing his full potential despite the limits that society wanted to place on him.

Despite unprecedented technological developments and material bounty, our nation and the rest of the world face ever-growing moral quandaries. We are still beset with continuous warfare and religious strife along with a litany of other past transgressions. These are all exaggerated by our population growth along with the growing complexity of life. In addition, our technological progress has created even more severe morality quandaries than our ancestors ever imagined.Brilliant figures of the past espoused many, still admired, moral goals for better living. However, they are mostly rhetoric because they didn't provide a rational approach for achieving them. Thus, we are now saddled with a morality that couldn't even cope with a far simpler age.Fortunately, an explosion of knowledge interrelating genetics, evolution, and human physiology has occurred in recent years that can be used to construct a more relevant moral code. One, based on reality, that can lead us to a more equitable and prosperous future.A Better Me A Better World integrates these recent discoveries into a clearer image of reality than any of our revered philosophers could imagine based on their mystical conjectures.Three valid purposes of life are derived from a careful examination of these new discoveries. They are survival, evolution (being the best we can be), and enjoyment. The acronym SEE encapsulates this finding.Next, a physiological morality that guides all human behavior was found. It uses the classic pain-pleasure principle to guide personal behavior toward compliance with the three purposes of life.Next, it was found that the body has always used servo controls to guide all body functions. Servo means using continuous feedback to help control all body actions. The concept was first instituted by man in WWII, being used to guide missiles against targets. Servos are universally applicable. For example, applying them to all laws enacted would eliminate all the out-of-control outcomes we now routinely accept.We will dramatically improve ourselves and the world around us by adopting moral guidelines based on these principles. We are truly living in a time of discovery if we will only open our eyes and SEE.

This a true story. The time line from 1965 to its ending as 2022 begins. It documents the experience of a young warrior growing old as a different kind of combatant and his adventure from Boston to the Caribbean, Rhode Island, Vietnam, Hawaii, California, the Indian Ocean, Ohio, Virginia, and Florida.For Country and Cannabis is a love story; a glimpse into the rigors of a navy career; and a look at a legal, social, and financial war waged over an herb. This is a five-decade-long history that teaches the reader of government lies, malfeasance, and injustice to groups of US citizens and individuals who wanted the option of using therapeutic cannabis as part of their treatment protocols.Almost all of the folks in the book are real and dead. This is a bit of what they did and how. For Country and Cannabis ensures that what remains only now with me, and a small shrinking cabal of advocates, is shared with you. Most of this is as true as I can recall these decades later.

Contrell Leo Floyd teaches in Ambition: The New Era, the New Movement that now is the time to be ambitious, determined, and self-motivated to take that leap of faith to stand for what you believe in no matter what anyone thinks or what society says. The main reason why people are not taking that leap of faith in society is because of the fear of what others think and how they are viewed in the fear of being rejected or blackballed indefinitely by society until one takes that leap of faith to break the cycle to start his own new world movement.

She is not the calm and loving person she was when he left the earthly world.He could see that she was in great pain and grieved for her lost son."Listen to me, Mother," screamed Grey Eagle.Angry sparks flew from his fingers and caused fierce lightning bolts to streak across the heavens, only to become gentle fireflies dancing in the wind.Grey Eagle was unable to ease his mother's pain, and he became more and more irritated with the passing of time.

Pleas and requests for help from the Great Spirit are a last resort for Grey Eagle and Green Willow, but will he listen?

Joe finds himself placed in a position of having to trust a health-care system that, for him, had proven itself untrustworthy years before. Seeking vengeance through transparency and against the wishes of his family, an angry Joseph enlists the aid of an unknown novice writer, Elizabeth Allen, to ensure his thoughts are properly chronicled.Elizabeth finds herself in awe of Joseph's faith and candor, and a rather unlikely connection between the would-be storyteller and the writer is formed. As Joe faces an unwarranted and unpleasant demise, she finds the previously silenced Joseph willing to stand virtually naked and endure a self-imposed emotional cleansing while he attempts to excavate his demons. That's only if time or his family should allow.

Hoover, MDRegional Medical Director, Emergency DepartmentsNashville, TennesseeThank goodness for those who taught me to take a few minutes in the morning to get centered.

I've found insight, encouragement and wisdom in these pages. I was looking for nuggets and found a gold mine. I encourage anyone to use this daily. --Sam H., person in longtime recovery

This groundbreaking book aims to be the source on how to address international precedence. While precedence as a criterion plays a key role in all aspects of protocol, universal rules governing precedence do not exist. Several different methods exist instead as guidelines. Moreover, we can learn to alter these methods to adapt to cultural differences, circumstances, and the natural evolution of society as the judgment on specific topics shifts. We explore these issues that affect precedence and discuss what precedence effects "who goes where, seating, entering, and exiting venues and events, order of speeches, introductions, food service, toasting, photo opportunities, flag arrangements, etc." There is no other book addressing international precedence in this way, and it is a crucial criterion of protocol. This book is a how-to manual for quick and easy reference. The authors shared on-the-job personal experiences practically bring home the reality of situations, making this an engaging read. Precedence can be complicated when people from different nations, who do not necessarily view the world in the same way, are combined. We will examine some international organizations and seven countries: the French Republic, the Kingdom of Spain, the People's Republic of China, the Russian Federation, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Precedence was born of struggle and strife among rulers and their representatives to determine who precedes whom, sits where, speaks when, etc. That quest for order, predictability, and the preservation of civility provided the concept for this book.
