Crop circles are the finest, most beautiful and original art forms of modem times, and they are totally mysterious. Behind the crop circle phenomenon is an evident purpose. Some intelligence, human, alien or spiritual, is in the process of communication. It is exposing us to a course of re-education, beginning with the symbols of sacred knowledge and wisdom. The most striking evidence for this view is the amazing formation that appeared at Crooked Soley in Wiltshire on the 27th August 2002. Clearly expressed in its design are certain numerical symbols that are known esoterically as the 'Keys to Creation'. They are also keys to that universal science associated with the Holy Grail. From time to time it is revealed again, and when that happens, culture and the human spirit are renewed and life on earth is restored to its natural state as a reflection of paradise.

A love letter to a community of Trappist monks who provided family when it was needed the most. This warmhearted memoir describes how a small, insecure boy with a vibrant imagination found an unlikely family in the company of monks at Holy Trinity Abbey, in the mountains of rural Latter-day Saint Utah. Struggling with his parents' recent divorce, Michael O'Brien discovered a community filled with warmth, humor, idiosyncrasies, and most of all, listening ears. Filled with anecdotes and delightful "behind the scenes" descriptions of his experiences living alongside the monks as they farmed, prayed, buried their dead, ate, and shared the joys of life, Monastery Mornings speaks to the value of spiritual fatherhood, the lasting impact of positive mentoring, and the stability that the spiritual life can offer to people of all ages and walks of life.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact.

John Quincy Adams warned Americans not to search abroad for monsters to destroy, yet such figures have frequently habituated the discourses of U.S. foreign policy. This collection of essays focuses on counter-identities in American consciousness to explain how foreign policies and the discourse surrounding them develop. Whether it is the seemingly ubiquitous evil of Hitler during World War II or the more complicated perceptions of communism throughout the Cold War, these essays illuminate the cultural contexts that constructed rival identities. The authors challenge our understanding of "others," looking at early applications of the concept in the eighteenth century to recent twenty-first century conflicts, establishing how this phenomenon is central to decision making through centuries of conflict.

A true coming of age comedic play about Belfast, masculinity, friendship, family, love, grief and testicles.

This book provides a practical guide to molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulation techniques used in the modelling of simple and complex liquids. Computer simulation is an essential tool in studying the chemistry and physics of condensed matter, complementing and reinforcing both experiment and theory. Simulations provide detailed information about structure and dynamics, essential to understand the many fluid systems that play a key role in our daily lives: polymers, gels, colloidal suspensions, liquid crystals, biological membranes, and glasses. The second edition of this pioneering book aims to explain how simulation programs work, how to use them, and how to interpret the results, with examples of the latest research in this rapidly evolving field. Accompanying programs in Fortran and Python provide practical, hands-on, illustrations of the ideas in the text.

The divers moved around the other side of the boat and entered the main cabin. Jack began searching the inside storage compartments. He found what he wanted in a box, a Mark 79 pencil flare. He looked out and saw the creature hovering over the stern. He ignited one of the flares and flashed it at the creature. The eel lunged at the flare and Kimo ducked down into the bottom of the boat. Jack let go of the flare when the creature charged forward. The eel engulfed the spattering red light and Jack grabbed at his hand. It was still intact. Both men were clinging to the deck of the cabin and didn't have the courage to check on the status of the intruder. They looked at each other and breathed deeply. "O'shaughnessy, are you missing any fingers or arms or a leg or anything else?" Kimo said and thought a little humor might alleviate the stress. Jack held up his hands. "Huh?" He spat. The eel disappeared and left the two Seabee's shaken and weak kneed. Kimo spun around and gave Jack a dirty look. Jack shrugged his shoulders and said, "It likes sparkles, hell, I didn't know." He said. "Get us out of here Beaudette, over." Kimo knew his command would be followed and quickly.

KING ARTHUR WAS IRISH is an earthshaking new book that resurrects the high point of Irish history from out of its tomb - a tomb hewn of shameful religious politics, censorship, and blasphemous sex-guilt. The text is artfully decorated with a spirit akin to ancient Irish manuscripts. The revelations in the text are lavishly illustrated with medieval illuminations and wood-cuts, historic eighteenth and nineteenth century engravings, classic turn of the century Arthurian art, maps, charts, tables, satellite imagery, and striking original compositions. KING ARTHUR WAS IRISH answers the following five compelling questions and more: 1) Why didn't the Catholic Church canonize Saint Patrick - the Patron Saint of Ireland ? (This is no idle question considering that the twelfth century church had no problem canonizing the similarly myth laden Patron Saint of Wales - Saint David.) 2) Why does the ancient Book Of Armagh - a book long known as "St. Patrick's Book" - place the writings of the "Arch-heretic" Pelagius inside the New Testament ? (This very same Book Of Armagh was the official Bible of Ireland until the Norman Invasion. It was the National Bible used in the coronation of Irish High Kings including Brian Boru.) 3) Why is there such an ominous silence concerning the Irish Supremacy in Pelagian Wales and Cornwall during the Arthurian Era ? (And why is the related prominence of the Ui Liathain (the O'Lehans/Lyons) so purposefully evaded ?) 4) What motivates the historians who reject the authentic ancient texts which record that the Irish High King Niall and Irish High King Dathi were both killed fighting for Celtic rights deep inside France ? (And why is the preeminent alliance between the O'Lehan and O'Neill so vulnerably skirted?) 5) Is there really a codependent relationship between the sexual morality of the more egalitarian ancient Celts and the almost exclusively Latin formulated doctrine of Original Sin ? (And it was St. Augustine's fear of which Irishman that motivated the Bishop of Hippo to claim that all sex is sinful - even procreative sex between two baptized and married Christians ?) KING ARTHUR WAS IRISH unwraps these enigmas with a juicy study of the ancient texts. Fresh presentations and penetrations of the naked sources make up an impressive proportion of the book, making it a useful resource for anyone interested in probing the mysteries of medieval history. The seminal authorities are rendered into vibrant lines of easy to digest prose, with concise informed commentaries inserted right beside the accounts of the classical authors. The book shamelessly exhibits a huge endowment of scholarship, and kinetically delivers its virile message in an entertaining voice unafraid of the pungent humors exuded by such serious issues. The reader quickly regains the inherent knowledge that swallowing the truth is only alarming to the inherently untruthful.

"The Government" is a unique explanation of current American political activities and its relation to a world that is quickly learning how to cope with the United State's attempt to control the planet. With troops stationed in over 140 countries world wide, the impact of Americanization is as widely accepted as it is rejected. The threat does not escape China and the European Union rapidly competing for the same economic real estate. At home, the country faces a staggering 75 plus trillion-dollar debt that has encumbered future generations for as far as families can envision. "The Government's" answer to super diseases and nuclear terrorism lies in the submission of all people to its total will and without representation. This is possibly one of the most shocking political essays of our time and a wake-up call to arms for patriotic Americans that wish to prevent a Second far bloodier American Revolution which otherwise will surely follow.
