As the author of The Conclusion to the Whole Matter, I conclude
that it's a risk of emotions to read this book. Because The
Conclusion to the Whole Matter is a two-edged sword that cuts
through myths, pagan practices, abominations, and the detestable
traditions of men that are manifested in our society, and also in
the churches of God. The Conclusion to the Whole Matter will stir
up different emotions in all readers that read its contents,
because The Conclusion to the Whole Matter will not let you see the
world of Christianity as you once imagined it to be. The
rose-colored glasses that most people view Christianity through may
not seem so rosy after reading The Conclusion to the Whole Matter.
But The Conclusion to the Whole Matter is the whole truth based on
the word of God. In our society today men abhor the truth--they
twist and veil it in darkness and insincerity. The Conclusion to
the Whole Matter unveils hidden things that professing Christians
might wish would stay hidden from the light. The contents of this
book are devoted to the feelings and emotions of God. The Bible
consists of approximately 782,000 words. The Conclusion to the
Whole Matter is summed up in six words. But it's taken me
approximately 152,000 words to put definition to The Conclusion to
the Whole Matter. In the last days it will be 144,000 men of God
and a flying angel who preach the last gospel on earth. The last
gospel preached will be The Conclusion to the Whole Matter.
In recent years, there has been an increase of public employees
being fired for inappropriate behavior on social media. This
research explores social media conduct of public employees that
have been adjudicated through the federal and state court systems.
The arguments of these cases are based upon the question of an
employee’s first amendment rights versus the rights of the
employer to maintain a desired work environment. The research found
that widespread negative publicity, disruption of close working
relationships, inappropriate and offensive employees comments led
to favorable outcomes for the public employers. In contrast, when
an employee posts on social media while off-duty as a private
citizen, the employer has not cited any disruption and the comments
are not personal attacks against employers but have substantial
public concerns led to positive outcomes for the public employee.

One of the largest states in Europe and the greatest of the
Protestant powers, Denmark in the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries was at the height of its influence. Embracing Norway,
Iceland, portions of southern Sweden and northern Germany, the
Danish monarchy dominated the vital Baltic trade. However, its
geopolitical importance far exceeded its modest resources. Paul
Douglas Lockhart examines the short and perhaps unlikely career of
Denmark as the major power of northern Europe, exploring its rise
to the forefront of European affairs and its subsequent decline in
fortunes following its disastrous involvement in the Thirty Years'
War.
Using the latest research from Danish and other Scandinavian
scholars Lockhart focuses on key issues, from the dynamic role of
the Oldenburg monarchy in bringing about Denmark's "European
integration," to the impact of the Protestant Reformation on Danish
culture. The multi-national character of the Danish monarchy is
explored in-depth, in particular how the Oldenburg kings of Denmark
sought to establish their authority over their sizable-and
oftentimes contentious-Norwegian, Icelandic, and German minorities.
Denmark's participation in international politics and commerce is
also investigated, along with the power struggle between Denmark
and its rival Sweden over Baltic dominion, and the Danes' unique
approach to internal governance.
Faith-Based Solutions to Caring for the Earth Climate change is a
confusing and polarizing issue. It may also prove to be the most
daunting challenge of this century because children, the elderly,
and the poor will be the first to feel its effects. The issue is
all over the news, but what is seldom heard is a conservative,
evangelical perspective. Connecting the dots between science and
faith, this book explores the climate debate and how Christians can
take the lead in caring for God's creation. The authors answer top
questions such as "What's really happening?" and "Who can we
trust?" and discuss stewarding the earth in light of evangelical
values. "Acting on climate change is not about political agendas,"
they say. "It's about our kids. It's about being a disciple of
Jesus Christ." Capping off this empowering book are practical,
simple ideas for improving our environment and helping our families
and those around us.
Fries's Rebellion The Enduring Struggle for the American Revolution
Paul Douglas Newman "Newman has given us the best book yet on the
so-called Fries rebellion, a 1799 uprising in the German-speaking
counties of eastern Pennsylvania. Newman provides a thorough and
frequently gripping narrative of the resistance and its
aftermath."--"Journal of American History" "A well-researched,
well-written account of this often-misunderstood episode from the
late 1790s."--"Journal of the Early Republic" "A detailed, engaging
history of the 1798-99 resistance in Pennsylvania to federal taxes.
. . . This welcome history established the singularity fo the Fries
episode."--"Choice" In 1798, the federal government levied its
first direct tax on American citizens, one that seemed to favor
land speculators over farmers. In eastern Pennsylvania, the tax
assessors were largely Quakers and Moravians who had abstained from
Revolutionary participation and were recruited by the
administration of John Adams to levy taxes against their patriot
German Reformed and Lutheran neighbors. Led by local Revolutionary
hero John Fries, the farmers drew on the rituals of crowd action
and stopped the assessment. Following the Shays and Whiskey
rebellions, Fries's Rebellion was the last in a trilogy of popular
uprisings against federal authority in the early republic. But in
contrast to the previous armed insurrections, the Fries rebels used
nonviolent methods while simultaneously exercising their rights to
petition Congress for the repeal of the tax law as well as the
Alien and Sedition Acts. In doing so, they sought to manifest the
principle of popular sovereignty and to expand the role of local
people within the emerging national political system rather than
attacking it from without. After some resisters were liberated from
the custody of a federal marshal, the Adams administration used
military force to suppress the insurrection. The resisters were
charged with sedition and treason. Fries himself was sentenced to
death but was pardoned at the eleventh hour by President Adams. The
pardon fractured the presidential cabinet and splintered the party,
just before Thomas Jefferson's and the Republican Party's
"Revolution of 1800." The first book-length treatment of this
significant eighteenth-century uprising, "Fries's Rebellion" shows
us that the participants of the rebellion reengaged Revolutionary
ideals in an enduring struggle to further democratize their
country. Paul Douglas Newman is Associate Professor of History at

Short copy: Fries's Rebellion was the third in three popular
uprisings immediately following the Revolution--after Shays's
Rebellion and the Whiskey Rebellion--that directly challenged the
still-fledgling federal government. This is the first book on the
watershed event in early America.

This history covers the filmmaking tradition often referred to as
cinema militant, which emerged in France during the events of May
1968 and flourished for a decade. While some films produced were
created by established filmmakers, including Chris Marker, Jean-Luc
Godard, and William Klein, others were helmed by left-wing
filmmakers working in the extreme margins of French cinema. This
latter group gave voice to underrepresented populations, such as
undocumented immigrants (sans papiers), entry-level factory workers
(ouvriers specialises), highly intellectual Marxist-Leninist
collectives, and militant special interest groups. While this book
spans the broad history of this uncharted tradition, it
particularly focuses on these lesser-known figures and works and
the films of Cinelutte, Les groupes medvedkine, Atelier de
recherche cinematographique, Cinethique, and the influential
Marxist filmmaker Jean-Pierre Thorn. Each represent a certain
tendency of this movement in French film history, offering an
invaluable account of a tradition that also sought to share untold
histories.
This book explores the nature of human language, its relation to
truth and to the natural laws of the universe. It focuses on truth
according to Advaita (non-dualism), and concentrates mainly on the
Sanskrit language. The author draws on his long experience as a
student and teacher of both Advaita and Sanskrit. He identifies
some principles of Advaita which are particularly relevant to human
language, such as the primacy of consciousness, unity in diversity,
and sound as the basis of the universe. He then compares Sanskrit,
English and Mandarin in the light of these principles. What follows
is an investigation of how far the basic elements of the Sanskrit
language such as its alphabet, its roots and the deep structure of
its grammar, may be seen as the expression of such principles. The
book continues with an examination of the fundamental nature of
words, of sentences and of meaning, all of which are illumined by
insights into the deeper significance of the sound and structure of
the Sanskrit language. What emerges is a radically different view
of language from that found in most modern Western philosophy.
Human language is seen as having an innate capacity to reflect the
light of consciousness, the primary element of the universe, and
evidence is provided to show the extraordinary reflective capacity
of the Sanskrit language. Many books have been written on Advaita,
but the combination of Advaita and language as tackled in this book
may be unique.

Paulyanna: International Rent-boy is an honest and frank portrayal
of a working-class male prostitute's life. Many factors contribute
in delivering the main character onto the streets. Some very
typical, such as early abandonment, poverty, lack of education and
sexual abuse. But Paul does not dwell too much on the past and
refuses to allow these events to mar his ambition. At eighteen a
lost train ticket leaves him stranded in the city after a job
interview. He uses his questionable wits to make a quick decision
that steers him down a rather dodgy path. Without added glamour or
grit, Paul shares the raw accounts of his life as a rent-boy in the
90s, from London to Los Angeles. It may not have been pretty, and
there was risk and danger as well as fun and thrills, but Paul had
the audacity to succeed in his quest to obtain happiness, security
and wealth. This is not an erotic tale. It is an ordinary account
of day-to-day life as viewed from a unique perspective. A peek into
what really goes on behind the glassy-eyed smile of a male street
worker. Read about his life in this optimistic and fascinating
roadbook adventure.
