This report assesses how China may react to expanded or varied U.S. military activities in the Indo-Pacific. It provides a framework of key factors likely to determine Chinese responses and identifies the characteristics of U.S. military activities that may either enhance deterrence of Chinese aggression or increase the risks of an escalatory Chinese reaction.

Ensuring military access to the territory of allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific in the event of a future conflict with China is a critical concern for U.S. policymakers. By looking at five specific allies and partners, the authors explore how states are likely to approach access requests, what factors influence such decisions, and what peacetime policy levers the United States might have to increase the likelihood of access in conflict.

The South Caroliniana Library, located on the historic Horseshoe of the University of South Carolina campus in Columbia, is one of the premier research archives and special collections repositories in South Carolina and the American Southeast. The library's holdings--manuscripts, published materials, university archives, and visual materials--are essential to understanding the Palmetto State and Southern culture as it has evolved over the past 300 years.When opened as the South Carolina College library in 1840 it was the first freestanding academic library building in the United States. Designed by Robert Mills, architect of the Washington Monument, it is built in the Greek Revival style and features a replica of the reading room that once housed Thomas Jefferson's personal library in the second Library of Congress. When the college built a larger main library (now known as the McKissick Museum) in 1940, the Mills building became the home of ""Caroliniana""--published and unpublished materials relating to the history, literature, and culture of South Carolina.Through a dedicated mining of the resources this library has held, art historian John M. Bryan crafted this comprehensive narrative history of the building's design, construction, and renovations, which he enhanced with personal entries from the diaries and letters of the students, professors, librarians, and politicians who crossed its threshold. A treasure trove of Caroliniana itself, this colorful volume, featuring 95 photographs and illustrations, celebrates a beautiful and historic structure, as well as the rich and vibrant history of the Palmetto State and the dedicated citizenry who have worked so hard to preserve it.A foreword is provided by W. Eric Emerson, director, South Carolina Department of History and Archives.

Freshwater mussels are declining rapidly worldwide. Propagation has the potential to restore numbers of these remarkable organisms, preventing extinction of rare species and maintaining the many benefits that they bring to aquatic ecosystems. Written by practitioners with firsthand experience of propagation programs, this practical book is a thorough guide to the subject, taking readers through the process from start to finish. The latest propagation and culture techniques are explored as readers follow freshwater mussels through their amazing and complex life cycle. Topics covered include the basics of building a culture facility, collecting and maintaining brood stock, collecting host species, infesting host species with larval mussels, collecting and culturing juvenile mussels, releasing juveniles to the wild, and post-release monitoring. This will be valuable reading for any biologist interested in the conservation of freshwater mussel populations.

Brian W. Aldiss wrote classic science fiction novels like Report on Probability A and Hothouse. Billion Year Spree, his groundbreaking study of the field, defined the very meaning of SF and delineated its history. Yet Aldiss's discomfort with being a guiding spirit of the British New Wave and his pursuit of mainstream success characterized a lifelong ambivalence toward the genre. Paul Kincaid explores the many contradictions that underlay the distinctive qualities of Aldiss's writing. Wartime experiences in Asia and the alienation that arose upon his return to the cold austerity of postwar Britain inspired themes and imagery that Aldiss drew upon throughout his career. He wrote of prolific nature overwhelming humanity, believed war was madness even though it provided him with the happiest period of his life, and found parallels in the static lives of Indian peasants and hidebound English society. As Kincaid shows, contradictions created tensions that fueled the metaphorical underpinnings of Aldiss's work and shaped not only his long career but the evolution of postwar British science fiction.

Christmas Wings for Brian: A heartwarming story of a little boy from Wilkes-Barre PA, whose shoulders kept growing
This story begins with a nineteen-month-old named Brian, who then grows up to be a special young man with special gifts above all others. His love of Christmas trains was only surpassed by his love of planes and all air vehicles. Superman had become his favorite airplane. Every year after Christmas, he saw the huge tree and everything else disappear. He would go to bed and when he would awaken, everything would be gone-the tree, the train, all the toys, the helicopters, the big and small panes at the tree platform airport. Worse than that, even the platform where everything was displayed was gone. But, the next year, it was back. Christmas was a great day every year and it stayed that way for days after so much so that it seemed like it would never end each and every year. After it was about to all go away at the end of just his second Christmas season, after a few days passed with all platform items gone, he got over it. That year, mom and dad took him for a special visit to a Christmas wizard who was also an angel. The wizard had a huge platform with trains and flying objects even though it was a few weeks after Christmas. It was before Brian had even turned two-years old. In this visit, he picked up more real information that a child his age should have been able to handle... Yet, he was able to manage the truth well, for over five years. Then, in his seventh year, when he reached the age of reason, he finally had figured out the Christmas mystery. No matter what, no longer was there any sadness at the end of the Christmas season. This year, like every other year, he was ready for it all to go away but the Christmas angel had told him "Fear Not " No longer did he care about going to sleep one particular night after Christmas, and poof, the morning would present a big void. It was his yearJust like he knew it would; it happened. This time, there was not an icicle or even a tiny piece of platform snow anywhere to make him think it was not just a silly dream-like how it was explained every other year. This year mom and dad knew that Brian knew the secret and he promised them he would not tell his younger brother and sister. Brian had grown; still loved Christmas; but was changed by the visit with the angel and this was the big year. On his seventh birthday, when he woke up, he got a big surprise. He did not know what it was all about but he had been assured that it would be good. For five years he had felt the muscular nubs in his back. A wizard had made a great prediction that the muscles in his back that seemed to be outgrowths of the scapula, could support huge wings. This discovery over time would become the most significant thing that would happen in Brian's life until the day his gifts were full grown. His story is what this book is all about. This is great family reading. A real family is highlighted in this fine uplifting story. Thank you for reading it. You can read this book to all your children and their friends and they will love it. Enjoy Have a great and magical day. I have a feeling that the tree, the toys, and the toot-toot and perhaps even more, will all be back next year if not sooner.
Mike v Trump: Mike Grant takes on Donald Trump; Brian Kelly takes on Mike Grant; Pick the winner!
The people have had enough The hateful impeachment of Donald Trump began long before he was elected. The hard left wanted him gone from the beginning and were prepared to do so at all costs. Trump hammered back at the political establishment & they hate him for his success. Are we not sick of the hate. Michael Grant, my co-writer on this book is sick of the hate but he can't help adding a little hate to the Trump mix. James D. Veltmeyer, MD from LaJolla nailed it: "The savagery, frenzy, and outright hysteria displayed by the President's enemies within the Democratic Party, the media, and various power centers of the globalist elites, have no prior precedent."This book pits Michael Grant's Trump perspective which is hardly positive or quite negative so to speak, against Brian Kelly, yours truly in a battle royal worth your reading. Some might notice that Lets Go Publish the publisher, is headed by Brian Kelly so only the items that Michael Grant wrote himself take his position. The rest such as this book description are stock publishing items without both sides taken into account. The fact is that Donald Trump got elected because the majority of the voters had begun to no longer trust Democrats or Republicans. Many of the regular people in America decided that they could trust Trump and in fact, they continue to trust him to do what was best for America. Trump so far has not let those people down. The left cannot stand that fact.Americans had gotten sick of the elected officials in all levels of government doing the bidding of slimy politicians or political donors and hacks in the various government swamps. Donald Trump came across as the only candidate for president who offered Americans a breath of fresh air from the stodgy, bossy, establishment elites in both major parties. That's why I voted for Trump. He was brave enough to defy the status quo of rich donors controlling the government for their personal benefit. Trump is rich enough thanks to his father's and his own cunning business sense that he alone of all candidates did not have to suck up to the seedy side of life just to get elected.Everybody has an opinion but too many people have their opinion shaped by crooked politicians and crooked news media. The Crooked News Network, CNN tops the untrustworthy media scoundrel list. So many of my good friends who are otherwise smart people believe CNN like it is Christ's gospel. I mean even good people that cannot see their own faults because CNN tells them how it is. Too many people for example get all their news from crooked CNN. Yet it is now fact that at 9:00AM daily, CNN executives get their marching orders from the president of this network news organization. More or less, they are told to avoid being fired, they must continually strengthen all aspects of the political (no facts needed) effort to disparage to the death, President Trump. That must be their focus above the people's news-or they better read the WANT Ads. .Trump in his winning 2016 election campaign held rallies of from 20,000 to 50,000 people who believed that Donald J. Trump loves America and American traditional values. Look at the goodness that he instilled into his own children. He is not a liberal fool or a progressive socialist tool who hates America. He is simply for America and Americans first. So are many of you and I if we really think about it. The corrupt anti-American mainstream press has recently merged with the corrupt Democrat Party. Together they regurgitate the most obnoxious collection of hate known since the Civil War. So, now together, they hate Trump because he represents normal Americans and not the fringe actors who have together decided to unseat him as president and crown Hillary for the job. This pond scum had no rallies like Trump because there would be few attendees.
