In the summer of 2013 the Central Intelligence Agency and the
Clinton Presidential Library made an unprecedented declassification
of more than 300 documents showing the role of intelligence in
supporting American decision-making on Bosnia in the 1990s, and in
particular the 1995 Dayton Peace Agreement, which brought an end to
the fighting in Bosnia. The following spring, James Madison
University hosted a conference in which scholars from all over the
world assessed what the documents show about what is needed for the
complex process of making peace. Aspects covered included military,
political, diplomatic, and religious, among others. Timothy R.
Walton's The Role of Intelligence in Ending the War in Bosnia in
1995 offers a collection of papers presented at the conference;
several of the authors were participants in the events of the time.

Diodorus Siculus, Greek historian of Agyrium in Sicily, ca.
80-20 BCE, wrote forty books of world history, called "Library of
History, " in three parts: mythical history of peoples, non-Greek
and Greek, to the Trojan War; history to Alexander's death (323
BCE); history to 54 BCE. Of this we have complete Books I-V
(Egyptians, Assyrians, Ethiopians, Greeks) and Books XI-XX (Greek
history 480-302 BCE); and fragments of the rest. He was an
uncritical compiler, but used good sources and reproduced them
faithfully. He is valuable for details unrecorded elsewhere, and as
evidence for works now lost, especially writings of Ephorus,
Apollodorus, Agatharchides, Philistus, and Timaeus.
The Loeb Classical Library edition of Diodorus Siculus is in

This book will be invaluable for those in the academic library who
want to understand how best to serve students on the autism
spectrum and how those students can contribute to the library. As a
large number of students on the autism spectrum come of age and
enter college, increased awareness of autism spectrum disorder is
necessary among those who work in academic libraries so that they
can respond to and meet the unique needs of these students. This
book fills a scholarship gap while serving as a practical resource
for working with the neurodivergent student population in academic
libraries. McMullin and Walton explain issues that are likely to
arise when interacting with students on the autism spectrum and
offer practical solutions for handling them. They discuss how to
work with neurodiverse students in different contexts, including at
service points, in the classroom, as employees, and through
outreach programs. They highlight possible concerns about the
physical environment of the library and demonstrate ways that the
library can be an especially positive place for students with ASD.
Personal anecdotes from students with autism as well as library
faculty and staff round out this valuable work. Serves as an
essential resource on how to serve students with autism spectrum
disorder (ASD) Offers an overview of characteristics of students
with ASD that is tailored to those working in academic libraries
and shows how those characteristics will affect various types of
interactions Provides practical solutions for common issues that
librarians/ and staff may encounter when communicating with ASD
students Features tips and ideas for librarians and library staff
working at service points (e.g.i.e., reference desk, circulation,
etc.) and in the instruction classroom
In an ideal universe, public relations spokespeople and journalists
get along just fine. Journalists want to provide their audiences
with fast, accurate information on topics important to those
audiences. Spokespeople want to advance the cause of their
organization by sharing its stories. That's the ideal. In reality,
however, achieving such a state of mutual cooperation can be
difficult. Mistrust, unprofessional behavior, old grievances, and
differing agendas can get in the way. Making it Work: Improving the
Relationship Between Public Relations Spokespeople &
Journalists analyzes and improves the symbiotic relationship
between journalists and public relations spokespeople. By
identifying a shared desire to achieve an important goal, it's
possible for journalists and public relations spokespeople to work
together effectively. Making it Work: Improving the Relationship
Between Public Relations Spokespeople & Journalists reinforces
the shared desire of public relations and journalists: To provide
the public with important and meaningful information. Helps build
an understanding and awareness between public relations
spokespeople and journalists. Develops and strengthens
relationships between journalists and public relations
spokespeople's respective organizations and industries.
Modern methods of evangelism have propelled the church into an era
of reaching people on their terms instead of continually throwing
religion and doctrine in their path. The church has been compelled
to reach outward in an unprecedented fashion. This outward focus
was birthed in the mind of God and is the purpose that He came to
the earth, the reason He started THE church. However, have man's
attempts to further God's agenda become counter productive? Man's
first priority is to God, preserving and building that
relationship. Has a focus on evangelism robbed the church of the
power, authority, and anointing that God equipped it with in order
to reach the lost? Is Evangelism hindering the restoration of men's
hearts, souls, and minds toward God by focusing elsewhere? Is
evangelism killing revival? On the other end of the spectrum,
others cling to traditional truths and doctrinal stances, refusing
to embrace culture on its terms. This causes many to remain
ineffective at serving their primary purpose. In this case, God
remains locked inside church buildings, never able to move among
the masses like He desires. Jesus remains a Savior of the saved,
not being allowed to embrace sinners as He intended. Is revival
hurting the churches ability to reach non-Christians because it is
to internally focused? Is revival killing evangelism? Prisons With
Stained Glass Windows explores the heart of God concerning the
lost. It encourages every church, every believer to embrace
evangelism and revival together. It explains the importance of
navigating the marginal difference between compassion and
compromise, urging the church to stop debating traditions at the
expense of souls, while encouraging it to stop compromising the
TRUTH to reach others. Lives will be changed by the principles of
this book, as the church embraces God like never before while
completing His mission of reaching a lost and dying world.
A family shattered. A kingdom in turmoil. Only one hope for
salvation. Weeks after reaching the Fortress, Hayden, Darius, and
the rest of the their band of misfits have remained in the City of
Refuge, fearful for their lives from the wrath of Babylon after the
death of Captain Abaddon Dearth. However, the protection of the

life forever. In the real world, Hayden still barely clings to
life. Detective Torben Mayes' investigation leads him to an
international conspiracy involving key U.S. political figures. He
discovers that Hayden's past is part of a series of events that
could bring about the end of the world. Battling corrupt
politicians, crooked cops, and a mysterious group of mercenaries
intent on killing him, Torben unravels the truth one hair-raising
revelation at a time. The Sin Cloud is an edge of your seat
thriller sure to make you laugh, cry, and desire to change your
world against the forces of darkness.
Address By The Honorable R. Walton Moore, Assistant Secretary Of
State At The Memorial Continental Hall. The Department Of State.
This paper examined how well does the integration of Military,
Other Government Agencies (OGA), and International Organizations
(IO) economic functions reduce the operational risks in achieving
contingency campaign objectives. It investigated how economic
development models and economic theory are incorporated into
national strategy and military contingency operations. This
analysis provided an understanding of how the functions performed
by the Department of Defense, Department of State Coordinator for
Reconstruction and Stabilization, United States Agency for
International Development, Department of Commerce, Department of
the Treasury, United Nations Development Program, World Bank, and
International Monetary Fund shape the global economic environment
and influence economic balance and development factors during each
phase of contingency operations.
The U.S. Department of Defense predicts that ground forces of the
future will wage tomorrow 19s wars by replacing large numbers of
personnel and organic firepower for advanced technology and
superior maneuverability. Those forces must be prepared to face an
unconventional enemy who will operate in small, lethal units
interspersed with the civilian population rather than facing
coalition forces with massed formations. This scenario of blurred
lines of battle and difficulty determining friend from foe
resembles very closely what the U.S. military faced in Vietnam.
This paper will address the successes and failures of United States
airborne FACs, particularly in Vietnam, and whether combat lessons
learned were passed from service to service or historically from
conflict to conflict. The FAC mission has not significantly changed
since the end of the Vietnam War, and a thorough study of
operational and tactical lessons learned by those aircrew will
significantly enhance today 19s FACs ability to find and destroy
dispersed enemy forces in a wide array of environments.
Feminist liturgy began in the midst of a broad human quest for
justice in the late twentieth century. The Civil Rights Movement
and the Anti-Vietnam War movement added momentum for women's
struggle for justice. Within this ferment, women addressed the
limits placed on them in secular and religious institutions as
well. Feminist liturgies developed as one of a number of attempts
to discover and claim a more truthful telling and embodying of the
stories that shape our religious consciousness. In Feminist
Liturgy: A Matter of Justice, Walton offers a partial account" of
feminist liturgies to encourage both discussion and action so that
our liturgies will be "true" for all of us. Walton explains that
liturgies typically described as "feminist" emerged in the late
1960s when women and some men realized that what they were
experiencing in the liturgies not only wasn't *enough - but, in
fact, wasn't *true. - a liturgical process that centers on an
encounter - an engaged, embodied dialogue with God - cannot be true
when females are left out of the dialogue. To make the liturgies
more accurate, people joined together to discover how to use
symbols, texts, and forms that expressed relationships with God
more authentically. Walton examines four aspects of feminist
liturgies: the historical context in which they developed, the
tasks and principles that guide them, the possibilities they offer,
and application to regular institutional liturgies. In examining
these aspects, Walton responds to questions, clarifies hunches,
alleviates doubts, and encourages more people to contribute to the
development of feminist liturgies. Janet R. Walton is professor of
worship at Union Theological Seminary in New York. She is the
author of Art and Worship: A Vital Connection published by The
Liturgical Press.
These diverse but unified descriptions of original ceremonies,
liturgies, and rites offer suggestions for revitalizing traditional
liturgical expressions in relation to women's experiences. The
works collected here are drawn from the perspectives of Christian,
Jewish, African-American, Native American, and Hispanic women.
