I have always written down my thoughts and goals to keep me on track and focused. I have been married nearly 50 years and have raised 2 beautiful children to adulthood...writing was a lifesaver. I hope it helps you as well.

Navy Commander Will Tanner takes command of the guided-missile destroyer USS Dauntless on the eve of a hurried deployment to the Red Sea following the Iraq invasion of Kuwait in August 1990. Facing a myriad of challenges, he leads his crew as they dodge storms, develop innovative tactics, and begin the dangerous business of boarding merchant ships while enforcing United Nations sanctions on Iraq. Tanner deals with the responsibility of ship command under the watchful eye of his squadron commander who questions his suitability for command. Facing his own demons from an incident in the past, he must earn the trust of his crew and the higher-ranking officers over him.In Iraq, a plot is launched to deal the United States a devastating blow--the sinking of an aircraft carrier--in hopes that it will shake the Americans will to fight. As the attack plan unfolds, only Dauntless stands between certain death and destruction on the high seas. Thousands of lives are at stake.Filled with the kind of detail only an experienced naval Surface Warfare Officer and ship commander can provide, Dauntless takes the reader inside a warship at sea under the most demanding of conditions. Will Tanner must simultaneously lead and inspire his crew, deal with the politics of the Navy command structure, and safely navigate and fight his ship.
Filled with the detail only an experienced naval Surface Warfare Officer and ship commander can provide, DAUNTLESS takes the reader inside a warship at sea.On August 2, 1990, the Persian Gulf nation of Iraq invaded neighboring Kuwait, occupying the country and claiming it as its 19th Province in a surprise lightning strike. Within three days Kuwaiti armed forces had been routed, the government escaping into exile, and the capital, Kuwait City, captured by Iraqi forces. On the day of the invasion, the United Nations issued U.N. Resolution 660 which condemned the invasion and demanded Iraq's withdrawal.In response to the invasion, United States President George H. W. Bush famously stated that "this will not stand." Under the leadership of the U.S., five and one-half month-long Operation Desert Shield was begun to interdict illicit trade destined for Iraq and to mobilize a historical coalition of international forces to forcibly remove Iraq from Kuwait if diplomatic efforts failed. What followed was one of the most operationally successful wars in history, Operation Desert Storm.Throughout the force build-up navy ships from thirteen nations conducted Maritime Interdiction Operations (MIO) to block prohibited cargoes from reaching Iraq MIO operations required the stop, boarding, and search of every ship approaching the Gulf of Aqaba in the Red Sea and the coast of Iraq in the Persian Gulf. MIO was conducted day and night, in good weather and bad, subjecting naval personnel to the risk of injury and death on a daily basis. This novel, based on personal experience, perfectly captures life on a warship, preparing for combat while carrying out the often mundane, but nonetheless hazardous, mission of maritime interception.W.D. Sullivan tells a very plausible, imaginable, 'what if' story representing an actual threat level in the region. And how one ship--of many in harm's way--responds, exemplifying the U.S. Navy credo, Non Sibi Sed Patriae: Not for self, but for country.
Compiled from a series of sermon talks by Elder Frazee, this book gives intensely practical instruction on being ready for the second coming and the last-day events. The last chapter draws a parallel between Noah's ark and how country living can create places of refuge (arks) in the little time of trouble.
Have you ever wondered just what is the actual sequence of last-day events like the Sunday Law, close of probation, and the time of trouble? This compilation of transcribed audio sermons from the late W.D. Frazee, explains the order of the final events and, more importantly, what to do now to prepare for them. The last section of this book is a beautiful yet striking parallel between the closing scenes of Christ's life and the prayer experience of the 144,000.
Can America survive a stolen election?When Heath Harkness moves to Dead Crow, Wisconsin and meets the darkly seductive Victoria Tepesh, he discovers a plot to steal the 2016 Presidential election, which involves her father Dragomere, a Transylvanian oligarch whose fortune includes a supplement developed in Dr. Mengele's lab that prolongs life at a deadly cost and who is promoting the vapid governor of Wisconsin for President. Teaming up with his professor, Jacob Stein and an eclectic group of students, he launches an investigation that puts himself and those around him at risk.
Charteris Hew Ramsay, a.k.a. John Bishop XIII, is the head of Eberhart International...and a very wealthy man. As a boy, Hew's name was changed by his Grandfather Bishop after an attempt on Hew's life and the murder of his parents, which is chronicled in the book Regenerate.An aficionado of classical music, especially that composed for bells and organs-and a virtuoso composer himself-Hew travels the world in search of ancient organs, underwrites the costs of rebuilding them, and moves them to sanctuaries and his homes. His wife Alexis and their oldest child John share his love of music-she is the music and arts director of a prestigious Atlanta, Ga. academy and John, at age six, is already receiving accolades too.Alexis is unexpectedly forced out of her position and files a wrongful termination suit. Hew and Eberhart have agreed to invest in a new and highly secret transportation venture that promises to increase Hew's wealth exponentially. After a series of explosions and catastrophes, including one that once again endangers Hew's life, the family is faced with determining where the threats are coming from and why.

Zu den einflussreichsten Orden des Spatmittelalters zahlen die Kartauser, die durch ihre Statuten auf die Bucharbeit gewiesen sind. Die Prufung der literarischen Nachrichtentradition aus den zahlreichen deutschsprachigen Kartausen zeigt eine beachtliche Menge an Material. Es wird fur drei oberdeutsche Kloster ausgewertet, und vermittelt von der literarischen Tatigkeit der Monche ein komplexes Bild, innerhalb dessen u.a. der Rekonstruktion einer umfangreichen, vollstandig deutschen Bibliothek um 1500 besonderes Gewicht zukommt."

This title takes an in-depth look at the mathematics in the context of voting and electoral systems, with focus on simple ballots, complex elections, fairness, approval voting, ties, fair and unfair voting, and manipulation techniques. The exposition opens with a sketch of the mathematics behind the various methods used in conducting elections. The reader is lead to a comprehensive picture of the theoretical background of mathematics and elections through an analysis of Condorcet’s Principle and Arrow’s Theorem of conditions in electoral fairness. Further detailed discussion of various related topics include: methods of manipulating the outcome of an election, amendments, and voting on small committees.In recent years, electoral theory has been introduced into lower-level mathematics courses, as a way to illustrate the role of mathematics in our everyday life. Few books have studied voting and elections from amore formal mathematical viewpoint. This text will be useful to those who teach lower level courses or special topics courses and aims to inspire students to understand the more advanced mathematics of the topic. The exercises in this text are ideal for upper undergraduate and early graduate students, as well as those with a keen interest in the mathematics behind voting and elections.
