There are many more similarities between the four Kennedy assassinations (JFK, RFK, EMK, and JFK jr.) then only the surnames. In this booklet the author presents the well-known historical facts surrounding all four assassinations. In the case of EMK a character murder is understood, which is no less a murder in ethical terms. It was not mere casual that EMK repeated the infamous question "are the Kennedys cursed?" Obviously they were not any more cursed than the average US family. EMK only repeated his enemy's words because he was heavily drugged, with a carefully studied substance that made him able to walk around and to perceive, but unable to act freely. A kind of hypnotization, one might say. What man, in full power of his mental abilities, would drive his car into a swamp, look on perplexed while his girlfriend was drowning, and next keep dwelling around the place where it all happened, as if waiting for an arrest?

The year is 1995, a few years after the fall of the Berlin Wall. This has led to a whole new way of life in former Soviet satellite countries like Slovakia. Mike Fox was privileged to accompany a group of students, who went out from the UK into the country, to experience a changing culture, as Slovakia enthusiastically emerged into the ways of the western world. The UK students also enjoyed their new-found social contacts with their Slovak student counterparts, a process that was no doubt aided by liberal access to 'pivo', which is the Slovak word for beer, and which became an appropriate strap line for the tour. It turned out to be a never-to-be forgotten experience.

It was a typical day of the week and two sisters decided to head to the mall. These girls were named Jennifer and Josie. They had not long turned 21. They prepared to head out when the phone rang. "Hi" Josie said. "Hi back" said her caller. Jennifer was getting antsy waiting for her sister to finish on the phone and decided to make a head start. "I'll meet you at the mall" she told Josie, who was giggling like a school girl. Which of course she thought she was. The two sisters were like chalk and cheese. They did however have one thing they liked in common. Shopping! Jennifer and Josie had been arguing earlier about the company Josie was keeping. She didn't seem to care if she was being taken for a ride. "When will she see what it is that he's doing?" Jennifer loved her little sister. She felt, since losing both their parents in a freak accident almost twelve years ago, that she had to be the one to look out for her and to ensure nothing bad happened to her. Jennifer felt that she was the smart one.The one who held it all together and kept them both grounded but, she didn't count on what was in store for her. This is her mystical miraculous story of how she met a total stranger who led her to meet her soulmate. Based on some true life events of the author.

Forestry touches on all aspects of human welfare in one way or another, which is why foresters need to play an active role in determining our collective agenda. Alastair Fraser, a lifelong forester and the co-founder of LTS International, a forestry consulting company, explains how forestry changes with political cycles and how foresters can promote healthy forests at all times. He explores critical issues such as: • forests and their connection to coal; • forest's role in combatting floods and climate change; • illegal logging in Indonesia, Laos, and elsewhere; • tactics to promote sustainable forestry management; • plantations as a solution to tropical deforestation. From pulping in Sweden and Brazil, paper mills in Greece and India, agroforestry in the Philippines, "pink" disease in India and oil bearing trees of Vietnam, no topic is off limits. Based on the author's life as a forester in dozens of countries, this account shows the breadth of forestry and makes a convincing case that forestry management needs to focus on managing change and achieving sustainability. Whether you're preparing to become a forester, already in the field, or involved with conservation, the environment or government, you'll be driven to action with Forestry Flavours of the Month

This is a true story about two Jack Russell's who lived in Berskhire with my me and my children. They truly had a wonderful life and I think you should read about them, what they got up to and they places they visited. When you hear other people saying it's a dogs life, they mean that they think that dogs have an easy life. Well that is not true as they are always guarding their owners as well as trying to enjoy themselves. They also met some interesting animals during their travels so why not read about them.

Sir Henry Ford, founder of Ford Motor Company, once claimed "I have proved Marx wrong". With that sentence he meant that Marx was a pessimist more than an economist. Indeed, his Motor Company provided a job to several hundreds of thousands of people in 2008. They were not mere industrial slaves, as Marx believed capitalism was compelled to produce, but they liked their jobs, because technological innovation provided enormous job diversity: quite the opposite of Charlie Chaplin's famous ¿yet historically obsolete by at least one century¿"Modern Times" criticizing industrialization. Americans did not suffer such heavy social injustices as their ancestors, the English slaves of industrialization. To the contrary: often they would have loved to have a slave-job, due to the many economic recessions. These recessions are quite unique in the history of industrialization. From their much too frequent occurrence, and their enormous unemployment numbers, these recessions are not normal. They show, by comparison to other countries, that a very influential and tightly organized bank mafia actively induced those recessions. A second point proven in this book, is the fact that the Swedish "Nobel Prizes" for economy, funded by the Swedish Royal Bank, are seriously flawed. These two facts take us directly to the American Federal Reserve System. The author proves an abysmal difference between what the FED claims to be, and what it is in reality. Many authors have done so already, as all proofs presented in this book are taken from them. The only tentative step taken in this book is its core argument: that the American debt to the FED is conspicuously absent in all presidential budgets and yearly reports, since the very foundation of the FED, in 1913.

"This book is an upfront, honest documentary of a real life experience of mine. It chronicles the "travails and hullabaloos" I encountered at Makurdi as a university don. What a difficult, often strange period that became, and what a wonderful story to relate at that in the end! Although I did my best to defend myself, repeatedly seeking refuge in the temple of justice, I found plenty of obstacles along the way. By shedding light on these midcareer problems I faced in this memoir, perhaps the aftermath of the situation would become more favourable to me."

There is a unique story in each of us. Where that story begins, how it unfolds and how it will end are vital parts of our considerations. We are usually pretty clear about how it is currently unfolding but the other two ends of the spectrum are often clouded or confused by conflicting religious beliefs and mythology.The objective of this series, "Pleasure and Pain", is to shed some light on the process by which we grow in spirit. After almost 50 years of working as a psychologist, visiting over 36 countries and working with thousands of people who have told me their story, I can see some patterns to our spiritual growth. I can also see good reasons to put aside many religious teachings and more clearly focus on the nature of the human spirit. This means that instead of looking at "Original Sin" we need to focus on our "Original Blessings" and recognize that we are eternal beings. But the Gift of Eternal Life involves both pleasure and pain. For various reasons, some of us enjoy more of the first and suffer less of the second. For other people the reverse is true. In this book we identify some of the underlying reasons and explore some ways to make a positive difference.

Through the fabric of time and space itself.

This book and its author grew up together. The 1960s in America transformed everyone who lived through this amazing time in our nation's history. Civil rights laws were fought for and passed; women began to find a voice and break down barriers. Immigrant workers and Native Americans raised their voices. We became a smarter, more aware nation-for a while. The Vietnam War became a symbol of those times. The music helped define us, and the illegal use of banned substances gave some of us the temporary courage to face the insanity head-on. The ranch is a mostly accurate first-person account of one young man's strange journey from gung ho high school student to landing himself in the middle of the world's most dangerous navy. Our hero slowly evolves into a war resister who gets into the exact amount of trouble to get assigned to a horse ranch in the U.S. Navy. There are a few rants that I included for mostly therapeutic reasons and several well-chosen fits of profanity that help to paint the military experience as it was and, I believe, still is to this day. I consider this book funny and thoughtful, but then I'm severely prejudiced. I wrote this back cover account myself because George Carlin and Joseph Heller had busy schedules in the afterlife, and I don't know Sara Silverman-yet. The Ranch is my first attempt at being considered a writer. I have plans to write a second book, which will document my experience as a telephone man in Northeast New Jersey. There will be plenty of danger, sex, drugs, and rock and roll with a hint of The Sopranos, so don't spoil my enthusiasm and buy this book. Thanks, America.

My first book "The Joy of Life" was the catalyst that inspired me to write my second book. Being a novice, the journey had not been easy. The final push to present the final product to the publisher had been slow, due to glitches.

I need to prove to myself and my family that nothing is impossible to achieve once you set your mind to it.After my maiden book was published and made available to the public, the positive responses had been exciting. This inspired me and invigorated me to continue with my second book.The second book, "A glance of Tawau in the Sixties" took me two years to complete. Extra photos were added to enhance the story. After all, "A picture is worth a thousand words".With this book, my third one, I write with the intention to conclude the final episode of the story, as I MOVE ON towards the reflection and experiences of my life.
