In today's multicultural atmosphere, Christians struggle to hold steadfast to the Word of God. Doubt, sin, and false teachers beckon at every turn and do their best to derail our faith. Therefore, Christians need to don the armor of God and yield His sword. Rich in theological history and filled with hope, "The Sword and Shield" reveals how Christians must embrace God's word and stand firm in the belief of His eternal promise. Using his extensive theological knowledge, John W. Edwards III shares his personal journey of faith and demonstrates how today's Christian crusaders must remain diligent against Satan's relentless attacks. Edwards examines the lives of several biblical leaders, including Moses, Daniel, David, and Paul, to show how they anchored believers to God's holy message. He then discusses ways in which Christians can wield the sword of truth by knowing God's message, living within the character of Christ, and preparing to be tested each day. In this way, Christians can apply their knowledge and discern between God's truth and Satan's lies. We are not measured to man, but measured to God's word. Find your truth within God's word and prepare to draw your sword

2012 Global Warning: The destination or the beginning of the apocalypse?

Ninth and Last Sign: You will hear of a dwelling place in the heavens, above the earth, that shall fall with a great crash. It will appear as a blue star. And very soon after this the ceremonies of people will cease. There are nine signs that great destruction has come and is coming. Like many tribes, the Hopis drew images that have come to pass and images of things to come.

Thirteen Baktuns is equal to just over 5,125 years, and in our present age of the jaguar, the fourth age, the Great Cycle runs out on the winter solstice, December 21, 2012, the Mayan end date. The meaning is the death of the sun, the rebirth of a universe, and the Mayan Prophecy of the return of the god Quetzalcoatl: all this is the subject of active debate.

This time will also mark a United States change in era where we will elect a new President. Is this the prophecy of the Antichrist? Could it be the end of one time and the beginning of the final stages of centuries of prophecies?

In this new edition, the fundamental material on classical linear aeroelasticity has been revised. Also new material has been added describing recent results on the research frontiers dealing with nonlinear aeroelasticity as well as major advances in the modelling of unsteady aerodynamic flows using the methods of computational fluid dynamics and reduced order modeling techniques. New chapters on aeroelasticity in turbomachinery and aeroelasticity and the latter chapters for a more advanced course, a graduate seminar or as a reference source for an entr e to the research literature.

The Generalized Aeroelastic Analysis Method (GAAM) is applied to the analysis of three well-studied checkcases: restrained and unrestrained airfoil models, and a wing model. An eigenvalue iteration procedure is used for converging upon roots of the complex stability matrix. For the airfoil models, exact root loci are given which clearly illustrate the nature of the flutter and divergence instabilities. The singularities involved are enumerated, including an additional pole at the origin for the unrestrained airfoil case and the emergence of an additional pole on the positive real axis at the divergence speed for the restrained airfoil case. Inconsistencies and differences among published aeroelastic root loci and the new, exact results are discussed and resolved. The generalization of a Doublet Lattice Method computer code is described and the code is applied to the calculation of root loci for the wing model for incompressible and for subsonic flow conditions. The error introduced in the reduction of the singular integral equation underlying the unsteady lifting surface theory to a linear algebraic equation is discussed. Acknowledging this inherent error, the solutions of the algebraic equation by GAAM are termed 'exact.' The singularities of the problem are discussed and exponential series approximations used in the evaluation of the kernel function shown to introduce a dense collection of poles and zeroes on the negative real axis. Again, inconsistencies and differences among published aeroelastic root loci and the new 'exact' results are discussed and resolved. In all cases, aeroelastic flutter and divergence speeds and frequencies are in good agreement with published results. The GAAM solution procedure allows complete control over Mach number, velocity, density, and complex frequency.

The Thistlewhistles is an educationally entertaining children's book pointed toward reinforcing the oral language development of the 'wh' and 'th' sounds.. It also assists in learning social constructs and cultural mores to achieve family harmony. The book is accompanied by an instructional guide with suggestions and ideas for furthering learning in these areas. It is, at its core, an experience of fun for the entire family.
