Britain and Its Empire in the Shadow of Rome
Sarah J. Butler
Continuum Publishing Corporation
2012
sidottu
Drawing on new primary source evidence, this volume evaluates ancient Rome's influence on an English intellectual tradition from the 1850s to the 1920s as politicians, scientists, economists and social reformers addressed three fundamental debates of the period - Empire, Nation, and City. These debates emerged as a result of political, economic and social change both in the Empire and Britain, and coalesced around issues of degeneracy, morality, and community. As ideas of political freedom were subsumed by ideas of civilization, best preserved by technocratic governance, the political and historical focus on Republican Rome was gradually displaced by interest in the Imperial period of the Roman emperors. Moreover, as the spectre of the British Empire and Nation in decline increased towards the turn of the nineteenth century, the reception of Imperial Rome itself was transformed. By the 1920s, following the end of World War I, Imperial Rome was conjured into a new framework echoing that of the British Empire and appealing to the surging nationalistic mood.

The Economics of Social Insurance and Employee Benefits
Richard J. Butler
Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
2012
nidottu
This book is intended for junior and senior undergraduate students, and master level students in human resources, risk management and insurance, industrial relations or public policy. The subject of the book is non-wage benefits paid to workers. Hence, it excludes discussion of needs-based programs such as welfare, food stamps, Supplementary Security Income, and Medicaid. It includes benefits mandated by the government including the major social insurance programs: workers' compensation, unemployment insurance and Social Security benefits. It also includes those benefits voluntarily provided by firms including: group medical care, disability benefits, paid sick time, pension benefits, life insurance, and assorted other fringe benefits. The book is divided into three parts. Part I (chapters 1 through 6) briefly introduces these programs and discusses some of the insurance and economic concepts that are useful in both evaluating the current programs, and in understanding what changes might mean for future costs and benefits. The next two parts of the book deal respectively with social insurance programs (Part II, chapters 7-10), and other employer provided benefits (Part III, chapters 11-16). Throughout, private sector human resource practice and public sector human resource policy is linked to various "ben~fit" models: the human capital model, the passive participant model, the insurance' model, the managed care model, and the integrated health benefits model.

An encounter with her father’s goddess has not turned out to be the end for Sarah Elytharias Penn. Now, with the Imperial fist tightened around her city of Cahokia and the beastkind of the Heron King ravaging across the river, she must find a way to access the power of the Serpent Throne itself—a feat, she has learned, that her father never accomplished. To complicate her efforts, Cahokia’s Metropolitan, a beloved and charismatic priest who despises the goddess as a demon, returns from a long pilgrimage and attempts to finalize the Wisdom-eradicating reform that dogged Sarah’s father when he was king. Meanwhile, Sarah’s brother Nathaniel and her brilliant but erratic servant Jacob Hop find their steps dogged by the Emperor’s Machiavel, Temple Franklin, as they hunt in New Amsterdam for the third Elytharias sibling. Isaiah Wilkes, having failed to awaken the Emperor by reminding him of his esoteric obligations, now travels north in disguise to seek other allies to stand against the destroying storm of the reign of Simon Sword. Chigozie Ukwu, the Shepherd of the Still Waters, finds his peaceful flock threatened and pressed into a dangerous mission in the service of Cahokia’s wild sister city Zomas, while his brother, the Vodun houngan Etienne Ukwu, pushes toward a final showdown with the mameluke assassins of the Chevalier of New Orleans. Praise for Witchy Winter: “Butler follows Witchy Eye with a satisfying second tale of a magic-filled early America. . . . Deep and old magic influences both places and characters, and the story is tightly focused on the determined Sarah . . . Fans of epic and alternate historical fantasy will savor this tale of witchery and intrigue.”—Publishers Weekly "For readers who love history-based fantasy, steampunk, or urban fantasy. . . this series that gives the genre a new twist."—Booklist Praise for Witchy Eye and D.J. Butler: “… you can’t stop yourself from taking another bite…and another…and another….I didn’t want to stop reading…. Kudos!”—R.A. Salvatore “Excellent book. I am impressed by the creativity and the depth of the world building. Dave Butler is a great storyteller.”—Larry Correia “Witchy Eye is an intricate and imaginative alternate history with a cast of characters and quirky situations that would make a Dickens novel proud.” —Kevin J. Anderson "Butler’s fantasy is by turns sardonic and lighthearted; ghoulish shadows claw into the most remote areas and heroism bursts out of the most unlikely people. Sarah is the epitome of the downtrodden hero who refuses to give up until she gets what she needs, and her story will appeal to fantasy readers of all stripes."—Publishers Weekly "David's a pro storyteller, and you're in for a great ride."—Larry Dixon "… a fascinating, grittily-flavored world of living legends.

The Existence And Attributes Of God; The AuthorityAnd Doctrine Of The Scriptures; The InstitutionsAnd Ordinances Of The Gospel.Christian Theology should be studied diligently. It requires at least as much application as mathematics, languages. or any other department of study. Christian Theology should be studied patiently. The subjects presented involve numerous and great difficulties which can be overcome only by earnest, patient, persevering research. It should be studied with faith. As before intimated, if anyone needs active piety and faith, it is the theological student. Much of what he learns he must take on the authority of God, and by faith. It should be studied prayerfully. All our powers and attainments are very limited. The study of Christian 'theology is of the highest importance in disciplining, enlarging, and liberalizing the mind.
Why do so many people have to suffer? Why doesn't my spouse love me? Why can't I get a job? Why can't we all just get along? Why doesn't God seem to care what happens to me? It is human nature to have a multitude of questions swirling around in your mind. Sometimes you wonder if asking these questions about God, the Bible, and our world show signs of unbelief or doubt. Or maybe you wonder if there is any point in asking questions of God at all.365 Questions for a Woman's Soul asks the deep questions for which our souls long for answers. Some of these questions can be clearly answered from the pages of Scripture. Other questions do not have tidy answers, but by wrestling with them in relationship with God's Word, we can gain perspective, wisdom, and a better understanding of who God is and why he allows events to unfold as they do.

An alien race has traveled 9,000 light years to reach Earth. They brought with them, a cure for cancer and all infectious diseases as well as advancements in propulsion technology. But is the human race ready to welcome a superior race? Is the human race ready to move beyond the narrow-mindedness of a territorial mentality? Is the human race prepared to trust strangers from a far-away world? When Naos Oriel-Achernar volunteered to be part of the second phase of the study of the human race, he had no preconceived notion of breaking Ranjisan law. But that was before he got to know, admire and even love the human race. Naos was part of the medical discovery team that was tasked with observing human medical conditions and treatments. Phase I of the study of the human race consisted of strictly areal observation. Naos was a part of Phase II. In order to study humans more closely, Ranjisi observers posed as humans and blended into human society. Naos was assigned to work in a hospital in New York City. Rule one of the Ranjisan exploratory bylaws prohibit direct involvement in human medical treatments. Naos was only there to observe and report back, but living among the humans was far different than studying them from the sky. Humans are rough around the edges and sometimes cruel but Naos found them exciting and he grew to love and admire them. He couldn't stand to see them suffer with diseases that were cured on Ranjisan, centuries ago. All disease had been wiped out on Ranjisan. Ranjisi people only died after living long and healthy lives because eventually, the blood vessels deteriorated. But that took about 150 Earth years and in the end, there was no suffering. Ranjisi left their physical bodies with dignity and that is why Naos could not understand why the human race was still opposed to assisted suicide. It really hit Naos when he watched the best friend he had made on Earth suffer for the last months of his life. Naos decided he would never watch another human die a slow and painful death. Naos is still grieving over the death of his good friend Eli when he meets LeAnne. LeAnne is dying of a rare lung disease known as LAMS. Naos gets to know LeAnne while transporting her to and from her treatments and a friendship is born. The friendship between LeAnne and Naos gradually blossoms into much more than a friendship, but LeAnne doesn't know who Naos really is. She knows he holds a deep dark secret, but she could never in her wildest dreams imagine what that secret is. If Naos is willing to become an interplanetary fugitive by helping humans die with dignity, what about the possibility of taking it one step further? If the "end of life" treatments could be smuggled to planet Earth and many Earthly diseases are curable, wouldn't it be possible for Naos to actually cure people? Wouldn't it be possible for Naos to cure someone who has found a permanent place in his heart? Naos is in a battle with his conscience. Should he deny his feelings and obey the laws that he was sent to Earth to live by or should he do what he knows in his heart is right and become an alien fugitive criminal? Excerpts: "Doctor Bockarie watched silently. Her big dark eyes seemed to never blink. She appeared amazed as she leaned in to see the front end of the Zaurak Elakribi application which displayed the computer simulated models. 'It actually is beginning to make sense, ' Doctor Bockarie said. 'The pods will hunt down and destroy the cells with the matching DNA. It's amazing.' " "The nurses were quick to notice that Mesarthim and Doctor Bockarie frequently took breaks together. 'Look at the Doctor's smiles, ' Nurse Abeni remarked. 'Her big dark eyes are smiling too. She seems to have taken a liking to the space doctor, ' Aide Folami agreed."
