President John F. Kennedy remains a subject of fascination for both historians and citizens. Consistently ranked among the most popular U.S. presidents, Kennedy led the country during a time of rapid social change at home punctuated by critical foreign policy crises, among them the Bay of Pigs fiasco in Cuba, the showdown with the Soviet Union over the erection of the Berlin Wall, the Cuban missile crisis, and the escalation of American involvement in Vietnam.As Stephen G. Rabe explains in this introduction to American foreign policy at the height of the Cold War, Kennedy perceived himself as a foreign policy president. Time and again, the president used the threat of force, good diplomacy, and sound judgment to keep the world from falling into the abyss of nuclear war. But Kennedy did more than manage foreign policy crises. He launched major economic development programs for Latin America, India, and Egypt and dispatched Peace Corps volunteers around the world. He attempted to mediate the Arab-Israeli dispute and to stop the spread of nuclear weapons to China and Israel. Under Kennedy, the United States began for the first time to develop a policy for Africa.Taking a fresh look at Kennedy's wide-ranging efforts to change the world, Rabe devotes chapters to U.S. relations with the Soviet Union, Cuba, Latin America, and Vietnam. The author also evaluates Kennedy's approach to India, China, Egypt, and Israel and such African nations as Algeria, Angola, and South Africa. Rabe concludes by exploring whether Kennedy was contemplating a new approach toward the Soviet Union, one that, had Kennedy lived to see reelection, might have soon ushered in the era of détente.

In this uplifting new book, author Stephen G. Post explores the mysteries and the wonder of Godly love. This all-important love is personal, unconditional, unlimited, generative, and omnipresent. The title alludes to Isaiah 35, how Godly love is said to plant a rose in our hearts precisely when we feel like a desert with no more love to give. Post draws on his life experiences and works at the Institute for Research on Unlimited Love as he intersperses personal anecdotes with spiritual truths and research on human happiness. In the process, he defines the concept of Godly love and illustrates how important it can be in our lives-not only emotionally and spiritually but physically as well. "Godly love," he writes, "is the only foundation in the universe that we can really lean on." We all have deserts in life, so we all need Godly love. Without it, the downward slide to cynicism, hostility, and cool indifference can be too easy. These meditations on the subject will nurture our confidence in the power of a love greater than our own when we need it most.
This book draws from previously unpublished letters and interviews with physicists, theologians, and Sir John’s close associates and family to present Sir John’s ideas on pure unlimited love. Post, who was in dialogue with Sir John for fifteen years on this topic and who had founded the Institute for Research on Unlimited Love (www.unlimitedloveinstitute.com), addresses how John Templeton arrived at his philosophy as a youth growing up in Tennessee. Post also shares how classical Presbyterian ideas came to synergize in his mind with the more Eastern influences of American transcendentalism and the Unity School of Christianity and ponders if Sir John truly believed that science and spirituality might fully converge on the same view of Ultimate Reality with their very different ways of knowing. Is Ultimate Reality Unlimited Love? presents Sir John’s hope for spiritual progress with the eventual convergence of ultimate reality and unlimited love.
When the Lord becomes our God and we become his people we are in covenant with each other. Covenant theology is the study of God's unchanging purpose to secure a people to Himself for His Son. It's a redeeming purpose that unfolds throughout Divine revelation and redemptive history from the eternal, intra-Trinitarian counsel of the Godhead to its historical consummation in the New Heavens and the New Earth. God to Us explains the purpose and work of the covenant in detail so our knowledge of God may deepen, our relationship with Him become richer as we grow into living as His people.Table of Contents: 1.

Financial Reporting for Financial Instruments develops the foundational knowledge related to financial instruments and the markets in which they trade, financial institutions and their internal decision-making and external circumstances, and currently required and credible alternative financial reporting for financial instruments. While the main focus is the financial reporting for financial instruments, the author also considers financial reporting by financial institutions. Particularly commercial banks and thrifts for the following reasons: First, financial institutions are the largest holders of financial instruments, with both sides of their balance sheets typically dominated by these instruments. Second, financial institutions provide rich sets of information about their financial instruments, individually and collectively, in their financial reports. Third, financial institutions play essential roles in providing liquidity and absorbing or distributing various types of economic risks. Fourth, it is often suggested that banks and other types of financial institutions are amenable to accounting research due to their homogeneity.Financial Reporting for Financial Instruments gives an introduction to fundamental issues in financial reporting for financial instruments that is accessible to readers who do not have extensive prior knowledge of structured finance transactions and of the accounting for those transactions. It is however assumed that readers have reasonable background knowledge about financial instruments and solid understandings of introductory financial accounting. Following the introduction, Chapter 2 provides important background information for the topics covered in this monograph. Chapter 3 examines banks' loan loss accruals. Chapter 4 examines fair value accounting for financial instruments. Chapter 5 examines instruments-such as derivatives, loan commitments, and retained residual securities from securitizations-which have small values relative to their risks, i.e., are ""risk-concentrated."" Finally, chapter 6 examines required risk disclosures related to financial instruments in financial reports under GAAP and SEC rules.

Irish Writers in the Irish American Press, 1882-1964

Literary anthologies feature many of Ireland's most well-known authors, Oscar Wilde, W. B. Yeats, J. M. Synge, George Bernard Shaw, Seán O'Casey, James Joyce, and Brendan Behan among them. While a number of notable scholars have contended that middle-class Irish Americans rejected or ignored this rebellious group of poets, playwrights, and novelists in favor of a conservative Catholic subculture brought over with the mass migration of the mid-nineteenth century, Stephen G. Butler demonstrates that the transatlantic relationship between these figures and a segment of Irish American journalists and citizens is more complicated - and sometimes more collaborative - than previously acknowledged.Irish Writers in the Irish American Press spans the period from Oscar Wilde's 1882 American lecture tour to the months following JFK's assassination and covers the century in which Irish American identity was shaped by immigration, religion, politics, and economic advancement. Through a close engagement with Irish American periodicals, Butler offers a more nuanced understanding of the connections between Irish literary studies and Irish American culture during this period.
Cape Cod is known for its beaches, throngs of summer visitors, and the activities that accompany seaside living, but it is also home to several kettle ponds, which offer a more tranquil setting. Formed from glaciers breaking apart and so named due to a rounded shape that appears like a kettle, these waterways are home to a diverse array of wildlife, while remaining peaceful and even a bit hidden. Big enough for a canoeist to feel solitude and serenity, small enough to not appear on large-scale maps, Centerville’s Long Pond (one of seven on the Cape that share this name), consists of fifty-one acres of crystal clear waters, fresh air, and the fish, turtles, waterfowl, muskrats, and otters that call this special place home. In A Moving Meditation, Stephen G. Waller offers an intimate look at the pond’s intriguing natural and human history; its abundant animal life, across the seasons; and the encroaching effects of climate change.

Tall Tales from the Tower: The Real Hillbilly ElegyBy: Stephen G. MorrisIt's true. The USAF gave a seventeen-year-old West Virginian hillbilly, a high school dropout, a battery of aptitude tests and determined he could be a Tin Man. And it wasn't easy. Only seven graduated ATC school out of twenty-two. After a year of intensive training at a high traffic control tower, Stephen G. Morris became a Tin Man, an air-traffic controller who can move heavy air traffic safely and expeditiously. After twenty-seven years as a Tin Man, Morris became the director of a Fortune 100 company and a senior vice president at the fourth largest integrated facility management company in the US; however, his biggest lifetime achievement will always be his time as a Tin Man. When he retired from the USAF in 1984, he took over a former FAA control tower on Cape Cod, one of the hundreds of facilities the FAA PATCO union walked out of and were fired by President Reagan.Tall Tales from the Tower is a peek into the control towers and RADAR air-traffic facilities at airports around the world with true stories of recovering lost aircraft, emergencies, safely landing seventeen fighters in severe thunderstorms, and air traffic control in a war zone.About the AuthorStephen G. Morris enjoys traveling with his wife throughout the US and Europe. He enjoys American history and is a Civil War buff. He also has interests in politics and current events.
A scientific and spiritual exploration of how the healing power of love can transform mind, body, and spirit in individuals and communities, even in times of chaos. Dr. Post's goal through his life’s work is to achieve cultural transformation through a blend of the highest levels of scientific research, spiritual-philosophical reflection, and effective practice. Through more than forty years of research he has created a framework readers can use to foster pure unlimited love and find inner peace regardless of what’s going on around them. The framework consists of seven paths for generating inner peace which include: May You Give and Glow; May You Heal with Kindness; May You Follow Your Callings; May You Raise Kind Children; May You Know the One Mind; May You Cherish the Gift of Nature; May You Honor the Spirit of Freedom. By incorporating these mantras into your everyday life, you can intentionally show love and kindness in your interactions and help to create inner peace as well as peace around you. When given from the heart, pure love is unlimited and is comprised of compassion, helping, forgiveness, mirth, respect, celebration, listening, loyalty, creativity, and carefrontation. Dr. Post’s work invites readers to embrace pure unlimited love and help create a better world. "I’m pleased to see that noted author Dr. Stephen G. Post is addressing themes such as consciousness and interconnectedness in his new book about Seven Paths to Inner Peace. It is my hope that this book will contribute to the flourishing of humanity." --from the foreword by His Holiness The Dalai Lama
A Story of Faith, Love, and Destiny for Everyone on a Spiritual Journey “This may be the most astonishing spiritual journey book in decades.… If any journey can help reclaim your soul, this is the one.” -Rev. Gregory L. Johnson, NYC senior advisor for Family Caregiving, EmblemHealth #1 New Release in Mysticism, Miracles & Philosophy "There are no coincidences in this world: God and Love on Route 80 is the highly entertaining story of a cross-country road trip and a life-long spiritual journey that led the boy to the discovery that a powerful force carries us towards our destinies." -One Spirit Magazine Dreams, miracles, synchronicity, and a spiritual journey. This book is for dreamers and questers of any spirituality who are looking for positive meaning and purpose in life. On the road, we can find God, redemption, forgiveness, and the understanding that we are all connected. There are no coincidences in this world. Once every generation comes a book so revelatory and lucid, it reconnects us to our very souls. Stephen G. Post’s God and Love on Route 80 is such a book. Post, lead author of the bestselling When Good Things Happen to Good People, was the perfect child and A-student until he took off in the family car, compelled by a persistent vision, his “blue angel dream.” Crossing America on Route 80, his unlikely adventure culminates in a shocking encounter that sets the stage for the rest of his life, a path connected by synchronicities which Post perceived as guidance from God and proof of humanity’s fundamental oneness, Infinite Mind. Truly a story for the ages, God and Love on Route 80 touches on the essential meaning of life and the messages we may all miss unless we begin paying close attention. Readers inspired by modern classics such as Love Warrior by Glennon Doyle, Peace Like a River, Becoming Supernatural, or When God Winks at You, will love God and Love on Route 80.

A dog, a pig;An enchanted jungle;A quest to find home-And the magic of being friends... When the Greeks first discovered amber, they named it 'elektron', or 'substance of sun' because, when held up to the light, fragments of prehistoric matter were clearly visible in its resin. It was like a dream to them, a discovery of self.THE WAY FAR is the account of a dog, Kikki, and his friend, the pig, and their search for a home in the strange, intractable environs of Gabon. It is a cabochon that reveals, as Kenneth Grahame or Richard Adams did in the amber of animals, that 'substance of sun' inside of us all. THE WAY FAR is a chronicle of struggle and redemption, of freedom and friendship, and of discovery and loss-a fable that has a human impact on us.And although this book is a work of fiction, there is truth to its telling: I have lived in the jungles of Gabon, with Kikki and the pig.Hold it to the light, I urge you, and discover.Be an elektron THE WAY FAR is an all-in-one trilogy in three consecutive full-length books, namely, Book One: KEEPERS; Book Two: THE ENCHANTED JUNGLE; and Book Three: MUD-HUT, respectively.What Others Have Said About THE WAY FAR "If through some miracle of temporal displacement Jack London had gotten to collaborate with Aesop on a whimsical yet piquant epic set in the jungles of Gabon, the result might have read like Chaffee's The Way Far..."-James Morrow, Nebula and World Fantasy awards winner, author of Blameless in Abaddon, Towing Jahovah, The Eternal Footman."...Anyone who has been moved by Richard Adam's Watership Down or Yann Martel's Life of Pi is certain to enjoy this deliriously lyrical and puissantly poetic fable."-William Morrow, award-winning fantasy author of The Willows in Winter."...Chaffee's timeless fable, THE WAY FAR, reminds us of the power of Story to nourish, challenge, captivate and reflect. A gem of a tale. One not to be missed."-April Jones Prince, author of Twenty-One Elephants and Still Standing, Who Was Mark Twain? and What Do Wheels Do All Day?."Chaffee's writing is colorfully-wrought and lyrically woven, and the stories and events in THE WAY FAR are an original and engaging mix of myth and mischief in a place as distant as any could be. Add to this concoction a cast of characters like no other assembled since The Wind in the Willows or Watership Down, and one arrives firmly and tragi-comically at The Way Far. An endearing fable for young and old alike; a simply must-read adventure."-David Schmahmann, author of Empire Settings, Nibble and Kuhn, and The Double Life of Alfred Buber."The closest I can come to a comparison of Chaffee's work is Jack London's The Call of the Wild meeting Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book. What makes The Way Far special is its setting. I loved the evocations of Gabon: the landscape, the rain, the vegetation, the mystery. What is more, this story has a very rare quality all its own: namely, it's original. It doesn't follow a mode or emulate an example. It is uniquely its own book, in its own right, on its own terms."-Prof. dr. J. Th. 'Joep' Leerssen, award-winning author, Spinoza Laureate, Director and Chair of Modern European Literature, University of Amsterdam, Holland.
