In addition to confusion with regard to exactly what entropy is, current scientific explanations of the associated irreversibility and the ineluctable increases in entropy are complicated, unsatisfactory, and completely incorrect. This problem is so impenetrable in fact that in over two centuries of notable attempts by the greatest scientific minds there has still been no explanation that is credible. The ubiquitous increases in entropy seem, however, to only affect the happenings at the macroscopic level of our everyday existence for which no process is completely reversible. Processes that are irreversible like those we witness every day with the naked eye are ipso facto those for which entropy is increased. But there has seemed to be no origin of this dire trend at the submicroscopic level where the answers to virtually all of the difficult problems of physics have been resolved.In resolving irreversibility at the submicroscopic level it has been necessary to augment Boltzmann's kinetic theory beyond two types of interaction and to more fully elaborate necessary constraints on the emission and absorption of radiation in Einstein's quantum theory of radiation. It is in the interactions between these domains where irreversibility enters. It has been incumbent upon us to close major loops left open by the scope of their analyses. Boltzmann could not have foreseen the impact of mediated interactions involving quantized photons, nor certainly relativistic effects. A comprehensive model has had to be developed to incorporate complimentary mechanical and radiational aspects of a thermodynamic system. The mediated interactions between molecules that do not involve direct collisions always reduce the relative velocity of the interacting molecules, which is very entropic behavior. In this way, individual submicroscopic processes 'use up' otherwise useful energy and increase entropy even at the submicroscopic level.Yet another form of interaction involving both radiational and particulate dynamics is the scattering of radiation by arrays of charges within a thermodynamic system. 'Forward' scattering in particular has traditionally been considered to involve conservative forces that do not alter the energetics of either the ensemble of particles or the radiation field. We show that this too is an over simplification whose correction has profound consequences of irreversible behavior, producing what have been considered 'cosmological' effects. The major loops that must be closed in this regard involve the origin of the ubiquitous hydrogenous intergalactic plasma with 24% helium by weight and the supposed disappearance of mass (and information) in black holes. There is increasing evidence that black holes do indeed errupt spewing forth hydrogenous plasma to again produce the 24% helium in generating the gamma radiation that after prolonged redshifting caused by irreversible scattering becomes the microwave background radiation. The blackbody temperature of a redshifting medium does not reflect the kinetic temperature of the particulate matter by which that radiation is scattered.

A MOTHER'S TRUTH... A SON'S RETURN Having regained his memories, Kade Truth must now embark on the second leg of his mission: to discover the truth behind his transformation into an energy wielding superhuman. His search promises to land him in the paths of powerful individuals, hell-bent upon their own agendas: Richard Van Parson, megalomaniac CEO of VPI, to name one; and the President of the United States, to name another. And what of the menacing Dark Monk of Kade's nightmare? Before Kade can confront these demons, however, he must first come face-to-face with his past. Returning Truth is the story of a homecoming, years in the making. Kade has hardly spoken to his mother since she sent him away to The Sisters when he was sixteen. Why is he suddenly drawn to her, and what unexpected secret does she possess? How will Kade's friends react to his new abilities? How will his fianc ? All the while, the faux war with France is heating up. But if the war is all staged, why are soldiers still dying? Someone has to stand up for the innocents being lost oversees. In Ransom, Okalahoma, one reunion is about to be cut short, while in a realm sideways of reality, another is in full swing... And a brother's fate hangs in the balance.

Every Story Has A Start and Finish.And, for every story, those are two different tales. One of Origin, of birth and promise. Of beginning something and the beauty of the path it will follow. And One of Ending, of finality and completion. Of laying to rest all that had been before one last time.ORIGINS AND ENDINGS is a two volume set of such stories as written by some of today's best Genre Fiction authors. Some tales are the opening of a great salvo, of action and adventure yet to come and others are the last note, the ringing knell of legends and secrets passing away. Watch heroes and villains discover themselves while adventurers and explorers give their all to be who they are. ORIGINS AND ENDINGS. From Pro Se Productions.

After over thirty years of writing and publishing for food, Raymond Quinton revisits his roots to explore and understand the origins of his genius. Yes, you heard that right. It's okay to admit your special. This book is part therapy, part creative explorations, part short stories, part fact, part fiction, and always invigorating. Quinton takes you through his bizarre beginnings in Junction City, Kansas through being one of the top publishers in San Francisco--the first 10 years of his writing/publishing career. This book is for anyone who has ever written anything. If you're thinking about writing something, write the first paragraph then purchase this book. Or, if you're a risk-taker, buy this book first. Be forewarned. If you read this book, you may never be hungry again. Quinton shows how to turn words into food and explains why. This is the first of a series of books Quinton will produce in the next three years. Collect the series. Book two and book three will be published in the next two years. Look out Lord of the Rings, there's competition coming up in the rear. Enjoy.

Letters That Paul Did Not Write

Letters That Paul Did Not Write

Raymond F Collins

Wipf Stock Publishers

pokkari
Despite its title, the subject of this book is really not the denial of the Pauline authorship of seven books in the New Testament. The subject of this book is the significance of these books in themselves. The second chapter briefly reviews the religious and cultural conditions within which these books were written, thereby elucidating their origins somewhat. The non-Pauline origin of these seven books raises a host of issues for believers, the churches, and exegetes themselves. The final chapter of this book addresses itself to some of these issues. . . . My real hope is that these reflections help the reader to better understand the sacred page. To the extent that my hope is realized, the true significance of Paul the apostle for the life of the church will be appreciated all the more. --from the Foreword Raymond F. Collins is Warren-Blanding Professor of Religious Studies and Professor of New Testament at The Catholic University of America. His other books include 'The Many Faces of the Church: A Study in New Testament Ecclesiology' (2004) and '1 & 2 Timothy and Titus: A Commentary' (2002).

The Craft of Political Analysis for Diplomats

The Craft of Political Analysis for Diplomats

Raymond F. Smith

Potomac Books Inc
2011
pokkari
Until the recent unauthorized release of thousands of classified State Department cables, public attention was rarely drawn to the frequently outstanding political analysis done by American diplomats abroad. The existing literature on diplomacy has heretofore been limited to memoirs of former diplomats and analyses of international affairs by diplomats, academics, and think tanks. The Craft of Political Analysis offers a fresh approach, one that provides a context for interpreting this embassy reporting and a guide to understanding the work that went on behind the scenes to produce it. Author Raymond F. Smith combines a practitioner's personal view of what is required to do good diplomatic political analysis with his understanding of the social conflict and change that informed his work for the State Department. Smith clearly explains everything the Foreign Service candidate or professional, as well as the interested layman, needs to know about crafting political analysis, including how to write for the analyst's intended audience, how to make best use of the intellectual and analytical tools of the trade, what happens when the analyst's views differ from government policy, and why political analysis risks becoming irrelevant, even though it is still urgently needed. In addition, The Craft of Political Analysis for Diplomats features two case studies using legally declassified cables not included in the Wikileaks release. The first is built around four highly restricted Embassy Moscow cables on the collapse of the Soviet Union; the second includes two cables on the Arab-Israeli conflict that received the State Department's highest award for political analysis. Selected for the Diplomats and Diplomacy Series of the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training (ADST) and DACOR, an organization of foreign affairs professionals.

sidottu
Raymond F. Mikesell deals with sources of conflict between private foreign investors and the governments of developing countries. He concludes that government ownership and control will expand and that foreign investors are most likely to become sellers of their special services rather than remain investors who act freely for the benefit of parent companies. Originally published in 1971.
