Robes, uniforms, and discipline respected, Dr. Weagley served his
country in the US Army as a Morse code operator in East Africa, the
US Navy Reserve as a chaplain, and subsequently his church as a
believer. He labored in several business-world settings, studied in
numerous academic institutions obtaining multiple degrees, served
in the non-profit service for the church as an administrator
executive-president of a retirement community, CEO of a parochial
school, director of a social service system-and the family served
in parish ministry together. In 2007, Dr. Weagley, (an ordained
minister in the Lutheran Church in America) contracted his arch foe
turned guardian dark angel-Guillain-Barre Syndrome-a paralyzing
virus. Mobility restricted, he turned his attention toward a
lifetime desire: to write tales of truth, justice, and faith
trapped in historical time-not only as a preacher but also as a
witness. ELI is a historical fiction adventure (wrapped in
religious motif threads) that captures Dr. Weagley's inclination
toward freedom, justice, pride, and hope that plates eternal
salvation. Currently in retirement, Dr. Weagley enjoys writing
tales of truth shielded in historical fiction in order to
communicate the wisdom and blessings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Adventure, religion, and social behavior options fill the pages of
his work as he tries to build palatable messages around characters
that have suffered collateral damage in life situations. Time and
circumstance meet patience and faith in his works. Good and bad
options bombard and abound confusing the imbalance of honor.

The naturals (native Indians) on the eastern seaboard of the United
States during the years 1500 AD through to the present suffered
beyond the reasonable as collateral-damage innocents. If the
invasion of colonials to the extremes of forcing movement,
assimilating-in or killing-off in order to occupy and to control
the new world proved anything, it established the need for the
justice of law and order to be in the hands of a third party or a
benevolent despot. The Tuckahoe, an extinct tribe with roots on the
Eastern Shore of Maryland near Cambridge, was forced to choose from
the following list: war, sell, run, or join and hope for the best.
Running away over land, whether west, north or south, meant bumping
into others exercising the same option. In TRIBE ARPEGGIOS, the
Tuckahoe chose a flight to freedom, afloat in a ship. Circumstances
allowed for a schooner, conditions fed the need, and heritage
nourished the will under leadership with unrestrained imagination.
The organization was tribal with a benevolent chief and a
controlling tribe council as the government. Generations of
Tuckahoe floated to and in freedom while forming into a flotilla
that moved down the eastern seaboard, through the Bahamas and
Caribbean, and around Florida into the swamp shielded mangrove
covered sands of the 10,000 Islands. When given the cause of
threat, harm or attack, they fought violently. Tribes voluntarily
joined in freedom and the theme of survival repeated itself
relentlessly. To offend a friend, harm or degrade an innocent, or
break tribal rules meant judgment rendered. Life was as the chief
said it would be after blowing pipe smoke to the left, smoke to the
right and smoke straight ahead, "Let it be so "
Good and evil floated recklessly and relentlessly as options for
deeds. The Reverend Paul David Sinn, a pastor in an independent
Christian community worked diligently in the foreign mission field
as a program of witness for not only his faith but also the faith
of his family. His wife was murdered, and his daughter kidnapped
for a ransom that was paid and accepted but ignored as satisfaction
for the terms of her release. Instead, the villains held the young
twelve year old for sale into prostitution. The Reverend morphed
into a ranting Scorpion intent on revenge cloaked as justice. He
killed, maimed, and led a revolution in a foreign land,
successfully. Sanity returned when he saved his daughter but his
guile festered for the innocent collaterals suffering under the
malicious tyranny of hooligans. SCORPION is a tale told by Reverend
Paul's companion, Shah Carlos Calusa on an Atlantic Ocean beach
after a successful life. The redeeming quality of his faith lifted
him from the path to perdition.

WALLACE is a trilogy: WAR, WEST, and WEALTH. Each section
portrays a modest and inconspicuous protagonist thrust into an
immodest and consuming mix of war, frontier survival, and personal
accomplishment that stretch values to the breaking point.
Rev. Dr. Weagley served the United States Naval Reserve Military
as a Chaplain, and actively in the U S. Army Security Agency as an
enlisted man. He managed a chain finance office and later worked as
a bookkeeper for a trucking company while obtaining multiple
college degrees. He served as an ordained Evangelical Lutheran
minister, and subsequently obtained his doctorate degree while
working as deployed staff for a Synod Bishop. Fifty-three years of
marriage blessed the union with four children who granted
additional gifts of thirteen grandchildren and five
great-grandchildren.
In 2007, Dr. Weagley went to war with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a
paralyzing virus that required a shift in emphasis mode from
stand-up preacher to sit-down author.
Wallace is a fictional characterization that is rooted in
truths strung together in reality conundrums. As if in search of
justice, truth streams through time, unrestrained, unlimited, and
unrestricted.
Over coming decades, changes in population age structure will have
profound implications for the macroeconomy - influencing economic
growth, generational equity, human capital, saving and investment,
and the sustainability of public and private transfer systems. How
the future unfolds will depend on key actors in the generational
economy: governments, families, financial institutions, and others.
This path-breaking book provides a comprehensive analysis of the
macroeconomic effects of changes in population age structure across
the globe. The result of a substantial seven-year research project
involving over 50 economists and demographers from Africa, Asia,
Europe, Latin America and the United States, the book draws on a
new and comprehensive conceptual framework - National Transfer
Accounts - to quantify the economic lifecycle and economic flows
across generations. It presents comprehensive estimates of both
public and private economic flows between generations, and
emphasizes the global nature of changes in population age structure
which are affecting rich and poor countries alike. This unique and
informative book will prove an invaluable reference tool for a wide
ranging audience encompassing: students, researchers, and academics
in fields such as demography, aging, public finance, economic
development, macroeconomics, gerontology and national income
accounting; policymakers and advisers focusing on areas of the
public sector such as education, health, pensions, other social
security programs, tax policy, and public debt; and policy analysts
at international agencies such as the World Bank, the IMF and the
UN.
Following 18 carefully structured lessons, this Romani language
primer explores the vocabulary and grammar of the Kalderash Roma in
Europe, the United States, Canada, and Latin America. Designed for
beginner students, this course reference begins with the basic
verbs and nouns and builds through to the subtler grammatical
necessities of reading and speaking the language. Quotations from
native speakers, poems, songs, proverbs, and folktales add to the
cultural and historical understanding of the language.
This is an entirely new kind of garden book, rather than a homage
to contemporary gardens, a survey of historic gardens or a "how-to"
manual. Through a careful mix of rich visual imagery and memoir,
author Ronald Lee Fleming brings to life the garden he has created
at Bellevue House, Newport, and explains his many sources, many of
which hold deeply personal memories.

As Ian Hancock notes in the introduction, this dictionary has been
years in the making, and its early drafts have been in circulation
among a select few for at least three decades. It should come as no
surprise then that this Kalderash dictionary, by Learn Romani
author Ronald Lee, is fundamentally different from many previously
published Romani dictionaries: Firstly, it is compiled by a native
Romani speaker; secondly, it covers and, where appropriate,
differentiates European and North American Kalderash terms; and
thirdly, it is a decidedly academic quality work that does not shy
away from Romani grammar. Prefaced by a grammatical primer,
containing over 20,000 lexical items, and filled with countless
real world examples of idiomatic usage, this book is an
indispensable resource for anyone looking to learn or work with
Kalderash Romani. Visit www.RomaniDictionary.com for errata,
previews, and other information from Magoria Books.
