Nearing the end of The Human Genome Project its leaders confirmed that Homo Sapiens was in a steady decline due to the fall in quality and quantity of the male sperm. They determined what would be the genome of a man fit to become the next Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA) of the human race by the male line and dubbed it the Adonis Project. The female line was in no such decline as the Mitochondrial Eve inheritance had carried through and strengthened, as mothers struggled to nurture their offspring. There were millions of girls who would produce enlightened children if Adonis was their father. The conspirators, for that, is what they had become, determined that Adonis would require three exceptional women to be his goddesses. They would form a family for Adonis and their children would become leaders in the Utopian World which must come. The conspirators planned to select one-hundred genetically superior young women each year to be impregnated by Adonis and then as their sons and grandsons grew up, they too would impregnate one-hundred girls a year and by the end of the century, all people of child-bearing age would be Adonis's descendants.Adonis had been identified four-years before our story begins. However, nobody told Brad Clifford that he had been selected to be Adonis, as the project might never eventuate if the three goddesses were not found.On the night our story opens, Mary Clifford, Brad's mother, comes to Brad's bed asking to be held, in fear she might harm them both. Her husband, Bruce Clifford, had been killed in a car smash five days earlier and she didn't want to go on. In the early hours of the morning Brad wakes, in a spectacular nocturnal emission, Adonis broke out. Mary, one of the conspirators, realises that Adonis has manifested to save her, becomes Aphrodite in his arms. Adonis's purpose in life is to bring about the Utopia that has often been sought but never achieved. He wages an undeclared war on those who would prevent all mankind from enjoying the best of what our world provides. Yes, the saga has justly been classified as Erotic, as Adonis fights with the only tools available to him.The saga comes with free access to the 21st Century Adonis Diary website where their relatives and friends' pictures and comments are provided, and Aphrodite describes her views on their lives. About the Author. It is not uncommon to hear the elderly complain about being old. For the authors of this saga, we find it a distinct advantage to be octogenarians. It has given us a worldview that can only be had by Living It, a far different perspective than having Learned It. We were born into the early years of the so-called Great Depression and listened to the radio to hear the declaration of The Second World War. Thereafter, we lived through minor wars and rumours of war until the nineteen-seventies. We witnessed disasters in our home-state and around the world, some natural, like floods, and fire, and others as a result of human greed and corruption: like, stock market crashes, inflation and health disasters like the Polio Epidemic of 1937, the Thalidomide Tragedy of 1960, and Tuberculosis, endemic in Australia since 1850 and on the rise again todayBut today, everyone has joined us to witnesses history being made in the Financial Services Royal Commission. We ask our readers to remember this low point in the mismanagement of some of our greatest institutions. In publishing, it is not uncommon to have husband and wife as joint authors. Perhaps, in this case, it is a little unusual, as my wife of sixty-three years passed away on the fourteenth of May 2018. If you ask me whether Betty still participates in this work, I can answer YES Not only through the history we shared, but through the communications, we have shared since the day she passed from this life.
James K. Polk: A Short Biography: Eleventh President of the United States
A "long-shot" or "underdog" would best describe the former governor of Tennessee, James Knox Polk, who had lost two reelection bids and now sought his party's vice-presidential nomination. Events unfolded rapidly at the Democratic convention in the warm summer of 1844. James Polk had hoped to be his party's choice as front runner Martin Van Buren's vice presidential nominee going into the fall general election. Seven ballots into the nomination process the convention was hopelessly deadlocked, then Polk's friends began spreading the word that "Young Hickory" was Andrew Jackson's choice and that he could bring harmony to the party. On the ninth ballot of the delegates vote, Polk became the presidential nominee of the party to run against the veteran Whig candidate Henry Clay. A third-party candidate would syphon off just enough votes from Clay to throw the general election to Polk.Polk was no stranger to Washington; having been a seven-term congressman and eventually holding the powerful position of Speaker of the House of Representatives. Polk was brought into the nation's highest office through a wave of expansionist fervor. Many believed it was the providence of God or "Manifest Destiny" that America should possess the land from "sea to shining sea," and James Polk was just the man to push this dream into reality.Polk would turn out to be one of the exceptional presidents of the nineteenth century. A hundred years later, President Harry Truman would extol Polk, writing, "James K. Polk was] a great president. Said what he intended to do and did it." Polk did fulfill the desires of the country to expand. When he entered the office of the president, Missouri was the western border of the nation; upon leaving the office four short years later, the Pacific Ocean bordered the growing nation to the west. "James K. Polk: A Short Biography" crisply reveals the life and times of the eleventh president of the United States. 30-Minute Book SeriesThis is the 39th book in the 30-Minute Book Series.

A collection of short stories that is novelistic in that there is a timeline, a main character, interconnections among stories. It follows Jack Dugan through a series of mostly demeaning jobs over a 25 year period. The stories are mostly quite short, and eschew the climax and resolution of standard story-telling - they play out the way real life plays out.
Putting Social Movements in their Place

Putting Social Movements in their Place

Doug McAdam; Hilary Boudet

Cambridge University Press
2012
sidottu
The field of social movement studies has expanded dramatically over the past three decades. But as it has done so, its focus has become increasingly narrow and 'movement-centric'. When combined with the tendency to select successful struggles for study, the conceptual and methodological conventions of the field conduce to a decidedly Ptolemaic view of social movements: one that exaggerates the frequency and causal significance of movements as a form of politics. This book reports the results of a comparative study, not of movements, but of communities earmarked for environmentally risky energy projects. In stark contrast to the central thrust of the social movement literature, the authors find that the overall level of emergent opposition to the projects has been very low, and they seek to explain that variation and the impact, if any, it had on the ultimate fate of the proposed projects.

Rules for developing talent with disciplined, deliberate, intelligent practice We live in a competition loving culture. We love the performance, the big win, the ticking seconds of the clock as the game comes down to the wire. We watch games and cheer, sometimes to the point of obsession, but if we really wanted to see greatness—wanted to cheer for it, see it happen, understand what made it happen—we'd spend our time watching, obsessing on, and maybe even cheering the practices instead. This book puts practice on the front burner of all who seek to instill talent and achievement in others as well as in themselves. This is a journey to understand that practice, not games, makes champions. In this book, the authors engage the dream of better, both in fields and endeavors where participants know they should practice and also in those where many do not yet recognize the transformative power of practice. And it’s not just whether you practice. How you practice may be a true competitive advantage. Deliberately engineered and designed practice can revolutionize our most important endeavors. The clear set of rules presented in Practice Perfect will make us better in virtually every performance of life. The “how-to” rules of practice cover such topics as rethinking practice, modeling excellent practice, using feedback, creating a culture of practice, making new skills stick, and hiring for practice. Discover new ways to think about practice. Learn how to design successful practice. Apply practice across a wide range of realms, both personal and professionalThe authors include specific activities to jump-start practiceDoug Lemov is the best-selling author of Teach Like a Champion A hands-on resource to practice, the rules within will help to create positive outliers and world-changing reservoirs of talent.
