Popcorn goes beyond the traditional methods of analyzing human behavior. Popcorn examines the impact of metaphysical influences, including spiritual attacks, spiritual attachments, possession states, trance states, and the impact of mass unconscious and conscious thought forms, to explain all ill-behavior and mistreatment of others, including racism, abuse in the workplace, attacks in relationships, family feuds, and national-global political conflicts. Popcorn also takes a close examination of ill-behavior in the black community. Evans Cooper uses the teachings of Eckhart Tolle and other metaphysical teachers to go beyond psychological and sociological analyses. The premise of Popcorn is this: All ill-behavior and mistreatment of others are the absolute result of spiritual contamination and psychic takeovers, and this phenomenon must not only be examined, but also incorporated into every explication of human interaction to gain the most comprehensive understanding of why so many human beings behave in such a disrespectful, toxic, reactionary, vicious, combative, manipulative, hurtful, hostile, destructive, and unloving way. After you have achieved absolute clarity of the spiritually contaminated state, you can then achieve absolute forgiveness and healing with greater ease.
Cooperstown, New York, the Mount Olympus of the baseball universe, attracts numerous visitors each year to peruse the plaque gallery, where the immortals of the game reside. In Volume One, we analyzed the candidacy of former Red Sox star Dwight Evans, and introduced readers to candidates for induction from the inner garden. Here, in Volume Two, the focus will be on the outfielders, men of the mound and those in a management capacity. Readers will be introduced to quality candidates, such as former Pittsburgh Pirate hit machine Al Oliver and the White Sox former southpaw stalwart Billy Pierce. The relief aces won't go neglected, as pioneers of the fireman, Firpo Marberry and Roy Face are here within. Field generals like Jimmie Dykes and those in an ownership way, such as the incomparable Chris Von Der Ahe, will be listed herein. The final chapter is a "call for action" for Cooperstown, to finally appraise the men from the early days of baseball. Little has been done to honor those who starred in the 1800's, men such as Tommy Bond, Paul Hines, Bobby Mathews, George Van Haltren and many others. A surprising number of early stars have never been analyzed. Their time for recognition has come. Let's give shape to the ghosts of baseball's past, relive their glory, and petition the Hall of Fame to take heed of their accomplishments.
Dedicated to getting former Red Sox right fielder Dwight Evans inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, this book, the first volume in a two volume collection, details the candidacy of Evans, extolling his merits for Cooperstown. Although the primary focus is endeavoring to get Dwight Evans a plaque in the gallery, biographical details are also sketched for other eligible players that the voters have neglected since 1936, when the Hall of Fame conducted its first vote. In this first volume, a Non-Enshrined All-Star Team is named in Chapter Two. The time line in Chapter Three expresses some barren areas in the plaque gallery where voters haven't inducted many men at their respective positions. The remainder of Volume One lists, with career statistics, eligible players at all the infield positions, to include catchers. In some instances, campaigns will be made on their behalf, comparing, for an example, former Cubs catcher Johnny Kling with his enshrined contemporary Roger Bresnahan. Designed for the Hall of Fame enthusiast, this book champions players who have been neglected by Hall of Fame voters over the decades, with a special interest in evaluating the candidacy of Dwight Evans.
When Londyn and her dog, Cooper, discover a glowing photo album in the attic, they're whisked back to the year 1895 There they meet Bessie, Londyn's great-great-great-grandmother, who runs a hardworking Iowa farm and delivers homemade butter, bread, and goods on her pony route. But when food starts disappearing from Bessie's wagon, Londyn and Cooper set out to solve the mystery. Along the way, they uncover more than missing loaves-they find the strength of family, the power of kindness, and a lasting legacy that time can never erase. Perfect for readers who love The Adventures of Cooper and Abe series, this special edition story blends history, mystery, and heart. Londyn and Bessie are beautiful reminders that the roots of our family stories run deep-and that love and courage can travel through time.
In December 2011, the United States removed all combat troops from Iraq, leaving only a handful of military personnel within the U.S. Embassy. This military presence--in the form of the Office of Security Cooperation-Iraq (OSC-I)--seeks to assist Iraqi Security Forces as part of the Embassy's broader security sector reform (SSR) efforts to finish off a resilient insurgency. What the U.S. is attempting to do in Iraq today is not without precedent. Analysis of the U.S. mission to Greece between 1947 and 1949 suggests that a high level of interagency unity of effort was the critical component to success there. Indeed, the U.S. Embassy in Athens--with limited support from the U.S. military--led an SSR effort strikingly similar to today's efforts in Iraq. Without a single U.S. combat soldier on the ground, the United States helped Greece end an insurgency and establish enduring stability. This monograph provides recommendations for how to foster the extraordinarily high degree of unity of effort needed to succeed in Iraq. Specifically, this paper describes how U.S. officials in Baghdad can revise an outdated assessment, integrate their civil-military lines of effort, and develop shared civil-military metrics to improve the U.S. Mission's chances of success.

The Department of Defense has become increasingly focused on competition with China and Russia and the possibility of great power war. RAND researchers generated four plausible near-term war scenarios and assessed how they could shape the postwar strategic environment. These scenarios show the complex relationship between wartime and postwar goals, highlighting the importance of considering postwar outcomes in prewar planning.

Ideologiernas död har förutspåtts ett flertal gånger under åren, men gång på gång har vi också sett gamla ideologier återvända under nya beteckningar. I denna bok behandlar vi både nuet och det förflutna. Vi belyser en del av de politiska idéer och system i historien som fortsätter att utöva inflytande på samtiden. Vi granskar också den auktoritära statskapitalismen, som i fallet Kina, och ställer frågan om den är hållbar. Om så är fallet, hur kommer den att inverka på världen? Kommer den att bli förebilden, precis som liberal demokrati under lång tid har varit det för många människor och nationer? Kommer islamism, främlings- och invandrarfientliga partier och andra rörelser i marginalen av det politiska och ideologiska spektrumet i Europa, USA och den islamiska världen att befästa den rådande ordningen eller undergräva tilltron till den? Vilka är globaliseringens konsekvenser för politik och ideologi? Kommer svaret att bli ett världsparlament, en världsomfattande miljörörelse eller olika strömningar med religion som gemensam nämnare? Eller kommer vi kanske i stället att få se ett annat gammalt spöke återvända: nationalismen? Boken ingår i serien Engelsbergsseminarierna och utges i samarbete med Bokförlaget Atlantis och Axel och Margaret Ax:son Johnsons stiftelse för almännyttiga ändamål.
Humanity in the twenty-first century faces serious global challenges and crises, including pandemics, nuclear proliferation, violent extremism, refugee migration, and climate change. None of these calamities can be averted without robust international cooperation. Yet, national leaders often assume that because their states are sovereign under international law, they are free to opt in or out of international cooperation as they see fit. This book challenges conventional wisdom by showing that international law requires states to cooperate with one another to address matters of international concern-even in the absence of treaty-based obligations. Within the past several decades, requirements to cooperate have become firmly embedded in the international legal regimes governing oceans, transboundary rivers, disputed territories, pollution, international security, and human rights, among other topics. Whenever states address matters of common concern, international law requires that they work together as good neighbors for their mutual benefit.

The first book to detail the global impact of copper production in Swansea, Wales, and how a major technological shift transformed the British Isles into the world's most dynamic center of copper smelting.Eighteenth-century Swansea, Wales, was to copper what nineteenth-century Manchester was to cotton or twentieth-century Detroit to the automobile. Beginning around 1700, Swansea became the place where a revolutionary new method of smelting copper, later christened the Welsh Process, flourished. Using mineral coal as a source of energy, Swansea's smelters were able to produce copper in volumes that were quite unthinkable in the old, established smelting centers of central Europe and Scandinavia. After some tentative first steps, the Swansea district became a smelting center of European, then global, importance. Between the 1770s and the 1840s, the Swansea district routinely produced one-third of the world's smelted copper, sometimes more.In Swansea Copper, Chris Evans and Louise Miskell trace the history of copper making in Britain from the late seventeenth century, when the Welsh Process transformed Britain's copper industry, to the 1890s, when Swansea's reign as the dominant player in the world copper trade entered an absolute decline. Moving backward and forward in time, Evans and Miskell begin by examining the place of copper in baroque Europe, surveying the productive landscape into which Swansea Copper erupted and detailing the means by which it did so. They explain how Swansea copper achieved global dominance in the years between the Seven Years' War and Waterloo, explore new commercial regulations that allowed the importation to Britain of copper ore from around the world, and connect the rise of the copper trade to the rise of the transatlantic slave trade. They also examine the competing rise of the post–Civil War US copper industry.Whereas many contributions to global history focus on high-end consumer goods—Chinese ceramics, Indian cottons, and the like—Swansea Copper examines a producer good, a metal that played a key role in supporting new technologies of the industrial age, like steam power and electricity. Deftly showing how deeply mineral history is ingrained in the history of the modern world, Evans and Miskell present new research not just on Swansea itself but on the places its copper industry affected: mining towns in Cuba, Chile, southern Africa, and South Australia. This insightful book will be of interest to anyone concerned with the historical roots of globalization and the Industrial Revolution as a global phenomenon.
