There are moments where a clarity falls. Moments where a simple observation brings a rush of memory, a rush of feelings that were left behind - a reminder of the fears of what laid ahead, a fear of the consequences for the choices made: A moment where everything experienced distills and brings awareness to the present, greater understanding of all that is occurring and un-equivocating knowing of what is held most dear. Those moments strike disconcert; humility that lay one bare, that fall hard as a heavy punch straight in the gut.

The Queen was dead. That hadn't been a considered possibility - but, she was gone. The news passed in a wave of shock across existence, and all the usual commotion and misgivings fell to silence. Of course, there's always someone that's gonna take advantage of that kind of moment, and nobody mentioned much about it when it started. But the balance began to waver. The Queen was dead: As balance failed, the full weight of that realization fell, and - realization that a replacement had to be located. Every decision the Queen had ever made had been sound, until that last one: It didn't make sense - it left her dead, it left existence out of balance. Worse yet - she left human.Sixth in a series of monsters: Monsters of Amapa, Twisting through the waves, T3W: Just another day (short), The replacements, Return, A scourge rising from the land of rain, fine fortuna, The history of Ech (short), Assignment of order TQ-1
Because Seminoles held slaves in a confusing system that was markedly dissimilar to white society's, the federal government was challenged to identify which blacks in Florida were free and which were not. As claims by slave owners and slave hunters fell into conflict, the Seminoles' more relaxed form of enslavement threatened the overall institution. This discord was intensified by the Second Seminole War, in which slaves united with Seminoles to fight against the United States. In exchange for capitulation America proffered the coalition unfettered freedom in Indian Territory. In Florida the two societies were so closely linked that, when the government implemented its program of removal, Seminoles and African Americans were transported to Oklahoma together. However, once on their new lands Seminoles and blacks fell into strife with Creeks, who wanted control over both groups, and with Cherokees and Arkansans, who feared an enclave of free blacks near their borders. These disputes drove a wedge between the Seminoles and their black allies. Until the Civil War, blacks were hounded by slave claims that had followed them from the east and by raids of Creeks and white slavers from Arkan-sas. Many blacks were captured and sold. Others fled from Indian Territory and settled in Mexico. At the end of the Civil War free blacks and those of African descent who had remained unemancipated were adopted into the Seminole tribe under provisions of the Treaty of 1866. They began their role in the founding of what today is the modern Seminole Nation of Oklahoma. In a preface to this new edition Littlefield explains the continuing significance of this subject. Daniel F. Littlefield, Jr., a professor of English at the University of Arkansas, Little Rock, and director of American Native Press Archives, is the author of Seminole Burning: A Story of Racial Vengeance and editor, with James W. Parins, of Native American Writing in the Southeast: An Anthology, 1875-1935 (both from University Press of Mississippi).
Challenge Yourself to Delve into a Deeper Interfaith Dialogue "To wrestle with the ideas these thinkers present is to find ourselves challenged to look at our own religious lives in new ways; and to appreciate the spiritual endeavors of others, whatever form their religious expression may take. To engage with these thinkers can leave us enlarged in our perception of human religiousness and deepened in our appreciation of it." —from the Conclusion The modern age of religion is characterized by dialogue. Jews and Christians together explore the realities and meaning of living in proximity to one another. Yet for all the good will and sincerity of intention, too often such discussions fail to progress beyond well-intentioned pleasantries to the challenging content that can truly deepen our understanding of each other. This fascinating and accessible introduction to the theologies of four modern religious thinkers will help you break through the superficial generalities to plumb the depths of religious differences and embrace the commonalities. Examining the lives and works of Søren Kierkegaard, Martin Buber, Paul Tillich and Abraham Joshua Heschel through the lens of their treatment of the Bible and the biblical patriarch Abraham, you will take part in a discussion of the very phenomenon of religion and what part it plays in living a fully engaged human life.
A CAEZIK Notable book. CAEZIK Notables is a series of speculative-fiction books marking important milestones in science fiction or fantasy. Each book published in the series has a new introduction highlighting the book's significance within the genre. In the 1960's, before anyone had even conceived of the concept of virtual reality, before computers were even in main-stream thought, Daniel F. Galouye imagined the unimaginable. In doing so, he wrote one of the most influential science fiction books of the day, and one that continues to not only influence modern writers but continues to resonate with science fiction readers everywhere. He conceived of a world that exists only virtually...one of the first stories about virtual reality. This is Matrix, decades before Matrix was conceived. Douglas Hall is part of a team that builds an artificial environment to simulate reality. This enables them to get public opinion polls without waiting for the opinions of people around them. But then something goes terribly wrong and his partners on the program start disappearing. But is it a simulated disappearance, or is someone out to get them all? And what is the true nature of reality? Stories based on Simulacron-3 have been adapted for both television and movies, and the book is considered a favorite of many of the masters of science fiction.
"Daniel F. Galouye's work has often been described as a lost classic and I'm inclined to agree. His world building skills are top notch... Dark Universe ranks among the best post-apocalyptical books from the late 50s and early 60s. A truly rewarding sci-fi take on Plato's cave."--Science Fiction and Other Suspect RuminationsA Hugo Award nominee, Dark Universe, is the classic tale of a post-apocalyptic world where humans have built a society in the dark underground. The descendants of the survivors only remember the pre-apocalyptic world in old stories, legends and myths. Light, itself, is remembered as something holy, and Radiation is feared as the ultimate evil. Jared is the son of the Prime Survivor, the leader of the Lower Level Clan. In a world of darkness and monsters both real and imagined, Jared embarks on a quest for Light. Little does he know just how dangerous his quest will turn out to be.A CAEZIK Notable book.

This book is a continuation of the first text entitled “Pyrrhic Victory The Cost of Integration”. This text focuses on identifying solutions to the issues that were addressed in the previous book and it takes a cohesive and empathic approach to deal with Black issues and issues affecting all minorities.This provocative text brings to life the quote “Before You Remove The Knife” and it closely examines the knife, the person or group who placed the knife in the wound, and the person or group that is responsible for removing it and healing the damaged and infected area. The text allows readers to travel back in time to reevaluate slavery, Jim Crow, and other significant moments that have created the current movement in the Black community. This book uses theoretical concepts to solve some of the problems in society, but most importantly this book brings awareness to our youth. It also supplies readers alternatives if their request for equity is not met and the peace and pieces are not provided to complete their historical puzzle.

On Thursday, June 21, 2016, our Catholic parish of St. John Neumann, Lancaster, PA started a transformation when Fr. Daniel F. X. Powell, Jr. became our pastor. What was most impressive were his Sunday homilies-sermons that explain the Bible readings at Mass. He often suggested we look inside ourselves and meet the Lord to enrich our spirituality. It was also apparent his suggestions could be a meditative guide in prayer for any Christian denomination, but especially for Catholic Eucharistic Adoration. Therefore, the Bible passages that Fr. Dan is referencing, are also included in this book. At Fr. Dan's request, funds earned from the publishing of this book, will be donated to St. John Neumann's sister parish in El Factor, Dominican Republic, St. Francis of Assisi, a poor church and school that he has visited for over 20 years
