An object by means of which any construction floating in the water is attached to its position is called an anchor. An anchor provides stability, a settled, predictable position in a random flow of currents.Beginning with a simple rock connected with rope to a boat, man has continued to engineer the anchor to include teeth and greater and greater mass. Today, the anchor is an integral piece of equipment that can secure the largest of vessels. In fact, these devices are so important that ships now have multiple, specialized anchors for use depending on the situation.As long as there have been vessels on the water, man has recognized the need for an anchor. However, in man's personal journey through life, the recognition has not come so easily. Since creation, we have been drawn to live as if we do not need an anchor in life. We push, pull, fight, focus, meditate, and operate as if we control life's current. We believe our boat has been engineered to handle the water without an anchor.At some point, in some way, every human will recognize the need for an anchor. It may happen alone in the quiet of a hospital room, with the only sound being the beep of the heart monitor. It may happen as life unravels before one's eyes. It may happen as one realizes the undeserved gifts they have received. But, make no mistake, the realization of the need for an anchor will come. We must have something to steady the ship.And so it was with me. I needed an anchor in life-something that would bring me stability when the journey made no sense, when the water was shaky.Outside of my personal journey, I lived through rough times in our nation, such as 9/11, when many lost their lives suddenly, unexpectedly before my very eyes. The world was at war, people were mad and confused, nothing made sense. And then there came the financial crisis of 2008, when many lost their fortunes overnight and took their own lives. People lost it all, and with it, they lost hope in the future. And, COVID-19, the unprecedented pandemic in my lifetime. All events rocked the world causing fear, anxiety, and hopelessness.Fortunately, I discovered that priceless anchor for my soul. Looking back, it is very apparent that I would have never made it through this journey of life without an anchor. I needed something to steady my ship, as all these events happened suddenly, unexpectedly, with no advance warning. So many things were out of my control.And, I suppose that my future will be the same. Many uncontrollables lie ahead for me. Many abrupt currents and changing tides are coming my way. However, with my anchor, I am now prepared to face the future. No matter the situation, the abrupt twist, the unforecasted storm, I can cling to my anchor to steady the ship.The same will be true for you. Events are coming that will rock your world. Money, friends, faith, self-created gods, personal relationships, popularity, business, athletic prowess-nothing in this world will provide stability. You need an anchor that will steady the ship.In a world of uncertainty, with many uncontrollable situations coming our way, I hope that you begin to discover the anchor that is there for you, the anchor of your soul.
As surely as the tide changes with the seasons, life changes. We go through times of high tide and low, seasons that are calm and those that are tumultuous. Each season dissipates into a fresh beginning. Before you know it, years have flown by and you stand looking back at your journey. Learn the value of analyzing your seasons.

Fred Harvey's Indian Detours guided travelers through the Southwest, showcasing scenic and cultural wonders from 1926-1968.The Fred Harvey Company had been serving guests in the American Southwest for nearly fifty years by the time the Indian Detours were established in 1926. As the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway crossed over Raton Pass from Southern Colorado into New Mexico in 1879, Fred Harvey followed right along, establishing a lunchroom in Raton and a hotel in Las Vegas. As the railroad expanded west, so did Fred Harvey with his restaurants and hotels in Santa Fe, Albuquerque, and Gallup, New Mexico, and Winslow, Williams, and Grand Canyon, Arizona. The Indian Detours were born in 1926 to encourage travelers to depart the train at a Fred Harvey Hotel and explore the scenic and cultural wonders of New Mexico and Arizona in a Harveycar or Harveycoach, thus bringing even more revenue to the company's hotels and restaurants. While the Indian Detours lasted only until 1968, travelers today can still track the path of the Detours on modern paved roads, relaxing in comfortable hotels or RV parks along the way. With historic and contemporary photographs and maps, author Mike Butler brings Fred Harvey's Southwest Indian Detours back to life in this book for modern-day travelers.

Mer än halva mänskligheten bor nu i städer. Och det är inte i nord som den största tillväxten av stadsbefolkningar sker, utan i syd. Föreställningen om syd som ruralt och jordbruksdominerat, i motsats nord som antas vara urbant och industriellt, förefaller därmed inte längre vara giltig. I Fronesis nr 18 granskas stadens roll i en globaliserad kapitalism, och dess roll för flödena av människor och ekonomiska värden. Det handlar om framväxten av en nyliberal stadspolitik, byggd på nya klass- och könsorättvisor, nya gränser och kontroll.

Ten years ago, groupware bundled with email and calendar applications helped track the flow of work from person to person within an organization. Workflow in today's enterprise means more monitoring and orchestrating massive systems. A new technology called Business Process Management, or BPM, helps software architects and developers design, code, run, administer, and monitor complex network-based business processes BPM replaces those sketchy flowchart diagrams that business analysts draw on whiteboards with a precise model that uses standard graphical and XML representations, and an architecture that allows it converse with other services, systems, and users. Sound complicated? It is. But it's downright frustrating when you have to search the Web for every little piece of information vital to the process. Essential Business Process Modeling gathers all the concepts, design, architecture, and standard specifications of BPM into one concise book, and offers hands-on examples that illustrate BPM's approach to process notation, execution, administration and monitoring. Author Mike Havey demonstrates standard ways to code rigorous processes that are centerpieces of a service-oriented architecture (SOA), which defines how networks interact so that one can perform a service for the other. His book also shows how BPM complements enterprise application integration (EAI), a method for moving from older applications to new ones, and Enterprise Service BUS for integrating different web services, messaging, and XML technologies into a single network. BPM, he says, is to this collection of services what a conductor is to musicians in an orchestra: it coordinates their actions in the performance of a larger composition. Essential Business Process Modeling teaches you how to develop examples of process-oriented applications using free tools that can be run on an average PC or laptop. You'll also learn about BPM design patterns and best practices, as well as some underlying theory. The best way to monitor processes within an enterprise is with BPM, and the best way to navigate BPM is with this valuable book.
Does your business's strategy need a major change in direction but you don't know where to start?Are you trying to implement a new strategy and don't know why it's not working?Are you having trouble getting your people on board with implementing change?Research shows that 67% of strategies fail due to poor implementation. If you are a leader responsible for strategy development and its implementation, this book will greatly improve your odds. Over the years Mike Harley has seen business leaders make every strategy and implementation mistake you can think of, including: thinking setting goals and prioritising initiatives is a strategyaddressing symptoms, not the root cause issues in the organisationwasting millions on using big 'consulting' firmsnot involving frontline staff in the business to reduce implementation risk.Strategisation is packed full of stories from Mike's decades of experience in Australia and organisations around the world. The Strategisation framework recognises that a great strategy is only half the battle; without a team of enthusiastic people to carry it out, it's just words on a page, destined for costly failure.

A Fresh Start... and a Hidden Past A family from Long Island, NY moves to an old farmhouse in rural New Jersey, seeking a slower pace of life. What they find is a house filled with secrets of the family that originally lived there, along with an unexpected ghostly presence that at first, frightens them, then fascinates them, as they attempt to piece together events that occurred over 100 years ago. When curiosity pushes them to unlock the North Wing sealed since 1870 they unleash more than dust and decay. Cold drafts slice through sunlit rooms. Footsteps echo where no one walks. And at night, a voice whispers a name: Andrew. "The Ghost Story That Wasn't a Story" (Chapter 7)A faded 1870 newspaper article confirms Andrew Bennett's death struck by a train near the farm. But why does his name still whisper through the fields at night? As the Hoaglands dig into the farm's history, they uncover fragments of a tragedy: a boy's mysterious death, a railroad swallowed by time, and a diary filled with unspeakable guilt. But every clue pulls them deeper into a web of grief and betrayal. The Bennetts didn't just lock a wing they buried a truth. Will They Escape the Past or Become Part of Its Story? The Secret at Harvest Junction is a spine-tingling blend of history and horror, where every shadow whispers a warning and every room holds a ghost. Unlock the mystery... if you dare.
