I have had the privilege of being Jim's pastor for nine years, and his friend for over thirty years.Jim is one of those guys that you are drawn to. You don't have to be around him long to know he loves Jesus and people.Jesus made the statement, "The greatest among you must be a servant" (Matthew 23:11 NLT). This makes Jim one of the great ones. I have watched him serve the poor, the elderly, and many others over the years. What makes him a great one is that he does it not for recognition but from a heart of love.Though I don't proclaim to be an authority on poetry, it only takes a few minutes of reading to recognize that he is pouring his heart out to his readers.Jim regularly reads his poetry at "Chamblin's Uptown Cafe" and "The Silver Cow" open mic nights here in Jacksonville.I can say with great assurance that all who read his poems will be greatly touched and blessed.Bob Hoover, Senior Pastor Vineyard Christian Fellowship Jacksonville, Florida
Some interesting Papers of John McDonogh - Chiefly concerning the Louisiana Purchase and the Liberian Colonization is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1898. Hansebooks is editor of the literature on different topic areas such as research and science, travel and expeditions, cooking and nutrition, medicine, and other genres. As a publisher we focus on the preservation of historical literature. Many works of historical writers and scientists are available today as antiques only. Hansebooks newly publishes these books and contributes to the preservation of literature which has become rare and historical knowledge for the future.

Good qualitative research can help sport management researchers and industry professionals solve difficult problems and better understand their organisations, stakeholders and performance. Now in a fully revised and extended new edition, this book is a user-friendly introduction to qualitative methods in sport management. Covering the full research process from research planning to reporting results, this edition includes expanded coverage of cutting-edge areas including digital and social media research, critical realism, and social network analysis.The book examines the reflective and interrogative processes required for developing effective qualitative research questions and includes a deeper discussion of ontology and epistemology in the light of today’s rapidly changing society. It takes the reader step-by-step through essential and emerging qualitative methods, from actor network theory and ethnography to computer-assisted data analysis and sampling typologies. Every chapter includes examples of real qualitative research, including shorter "research briefs" and extended case studies, reflecting the exciting qualitative research that is currently occurring in sport business and management, and highlighting the links between research and sport management practice. This is essential reading for courses in sport management, sport business, sport policy, sport marketing, sport media, and communications. It provides students, researchers, and practitioners with the knowledge and skills to undertake qualitative research while deepening their understanding of how the social world can be perceived and interpreted through a particular theoretical lens.Useful online materials include recommended readings and PowerPoint slides.

This report analyzes defense options available to the United States in responding to current and emerging threats to U.S. security and interests in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. It focuses on ways that the United States might adapt military instruments to meet these emerging challenges, assessing in broad terms the cost of defense investments commensurate with the interests at stake.
A group of respected historians and authorities reassess the role of B. F. Skinner and contemporary behaviorism in the history of 20th-century psychology. This landmark collection provides an interesting mix of modern perspectives to clarify perceptions of the theories and approaches of Skinner and of other radical and contemporary behaviorists. This reevaluation of the philosophical bases and development of behavior analysis offers new interpretation. Psychologists, historians, philosophers, and advanced undergraduates and graduate students will also find the work important for its first-to-date comprehensive bibliography of Skinner's published works and for its lengthy historiography of important studies dealing with Skinner and behaviorism. This volume is a companion to Modern Perspectives of John B. Watson and Classical Behaviorism edited by Todd and Morris and published by Greenwood Press in 1994.
Woodworking Technology by James J. Hammond is a comprehensive guide to the art and science of woodworking. This book covers everything from the basics of wood selection and preparation to advanced techniques for joinery, carving, and finishing. It is designed to be a practical resource for both novice and experienced woodworkers, providing step-by-step instructions, detailed illustrations, and helpful tips throughout. The book begins with an overview of the properties of wood, including its grain, color, and texture, and how these characteristics affect the way it can be worked. It then moves on to cover the tools and equipment needed for woodworking, including hand tools, power tools, and specialized machines. Next, the book delves into the various techniques used in woodworking, including cutting, drilling, shaping, and sanding. It covers joinery techniques such as mortise and tenon, dovetail, and biscuit joints, as well as carving and turning techniques for creating intricate designs and patterns. The final section of the book focuses on finishing techniques, including staining, painting, and varnishing, as well as tips for maintaining and caring for finished pieces. Throughout the book, Hammond emphasizes the importance of safety and proper technique, providing guidance on how to use tools and equipment safely and effectively. Overall, Woodworking Technology is an essential resource for anyone interested in learning the art and science of woodworking, whether as a hobby or a profession. It is a comprehensive guide that covers all aspects of woodworking, from the basics to advanced techniques, and is sure to be a valuable addition to any woodworker's library.Additional Author Is Norman A.

I love training Teaching is awesome when you get to start from nothing and convey complex topics in simplified terms that the average person can easily understand. I've had a great career in training. I've gotten to travel all over the world teaching various topics and so I've attempted to put some of those to paper to help others. Of course this isn't everything, but I think it'll give the beginner a good start and the more advanced some good tips and tricks that I have picked up over the years.
Me encanta entrenar La ense anza es asombrosa cuando puedes comenzar desde la nada y transmitir temas complejos en t rminos simplificados que la persona promedio puede entender f cilmente. He tenido una gran carrera en el entrenamiento. He viajado por todo el mundo ense ando varios temas, as que he tratado de poner algunos de esos en el papel para ayudar a otros. Por supuesto, esto no es todo, pero creo que le dar al principiante un buen comienzo y los m s avanzados algunos buenos consejos y trucos que he aprendido a lo largo de los a os.
After a thousand years away, a human colony on a massive spaceship are on an interstellar mission to return home. They live in a peaceful society, preserving what they believed to be an approximation of the lives that their ancestors led on earth. It would be paradise... if it wasn't for the cats.
The Knowledge Seeker is a useful system to develop various intelligent applications such as ontology-based search engine, ontology-based text classification system, ontological agent system, and semantic web system etc. The Knowledge Seeker contains four different ontological components. First, it defines the knowledge representation model ¡V Ontology Graph. Second, an ontology learning process that based on chi-square statistics is proposed for automatic learning an Ontology Graph from texts for different domains. Third, it defines an ontology generation method that transforms the learning outcome to the Ontology Graph format for machine processing and also can be visualized for human validation. Fourth, it defines different ontological operations (such as similarity measurement and text classification) that can be carried out with the use of generated Ontology Graphs. The final goal of the KnowledgeSeeker system framework is that it can improve the traditional information system with higher efficiency. In particular, it can increase the accuracy of a text classification system, and also enhance the search intelligence in a search engine. This can be done by enhancing the system with machine processable ontology.
