March 1147. Assassination, espionage, betrayal. King Owain has ridden east to confront King Madog of Powys with the attempt on the life of his son. Rhys, now abbot of St. Kentigern's monastery, hopes for peace and calls both Madog and Owain to the negotiating table. Peace, however, is the last thing on Madog's mind. Recalcitrant, self-righteous, and angry, he sees King Owain's recent weakness as his opportunity and knows that Owain's own barons are circling like wolves, waiting for the chance to overthrow him. With the throne of Gwynedd in the balance, Abbot Rhys is desperate to broker a deal. And when the body of a royal spy is found within hours of King Owain's arrival at St. Asaph's, it is up to Gareth and Gwen to find the killer before the wrong man is hanged--and a country lost. The Unexpected Ally is the eighth Gareth & Gwen Medieval Mystery.

Picture this: A close ally of the US president dies suddenly in Moscow under mysterious circumstances: Officials there suggest he bludgeoned himself to death. Just days earlier, a business founded by the ally had come under sharp criticism from prominent political figures in the country. Now reverse the picture. A dead body in DC is that of a Putin ally. The same mysterious circumstances apply. What's going on? Did Putin liquidate his ally and do it in DC? Or was it an American hit on a Russian who perhaps knew too much? It's your guess. Author Dunkerley lays out the true story from the first breaking news to the final police report, suspiciously one long year later. This monograph is part of the "Russia: Straight Talk on Hushed issues" series. It is dedicated to advancing the concept of a safe, sustaining, and positive relationship between the United States and the Russian Federation.
Moments are fleeting, but each is filled with experiences that offer learning opportunities. These experiences serve as tools for learning, tools that guide how we feel, think, and act toward all living things. For some, living in the moment, and taking in the experience of discoveries to be had in the moment, offers reward and is valued as insight; for others, 'living in the moment' can mean navigating a disorienting succession of very sensitive sequences of micro-events, any of which might shunt one into jumping over what feels like exposure, and not experience. Moments are fleeting, but each is filled with experiences, offering learning that beckons us to be present, leading to discoveries, and the understanding that learning to be at ease with ourselves in such moments, can take practice. Discover how to accept the reflections to be found in any given moment. Learn how to use self-awareness as a tool, to better express yourself in moments of choice in your work culture, or in the circle of your personal relationships. Learn to be deliberate in a global culture, where synergistic themes and dynamics of consequence are amplified, and radiate, through the smallest choices we make.

Following the end of the Cold War and collapse of the former Soviet Union, NATO, the world's biggest intergovernmental military alliance, has emerged as a key framework provider on maintaining global security. Turkey, an important regional element of the NATO-bound geostrategic understanding, visibly enjoyed and, to an extent, treasured its NATO membership since 1952. However, since the end of the Cold War and, especially, when Recep Tayyip Erdoğan took his office as the country's Prime Minister in 2003, Turkey started playing a multi-dimensional, more independent as well as proactive role in international system, and this factor generates plenty of questions on the depth of the country's regional and global acting as a NATO member state.
