This is a continuation of the several previous "legacy" books about Saint Finbarr's College, Lagos, Nigeria. It is a book of historical legacy of the school, with a long-term reputation for academic excellence, student discipline, and soccer superiority. The focus of this book is to salute, recognize, and celebrate the special group of Students, the athletes, particularly the soccer players. Much has been written about the accomplishments of other groups of ex-Finbarrians, but nothing has been written collectively about the soccer players. It is a book targeting the alumni of the school to bring appropriate glory and recognition to the soccer players of the school, many of whom have gone on to play for the Nigerian National Team as well as play professionally around the world.

FIRE IS ONE OF THE FOUR MAJOR ELEMENTS KNOWN TO EXIST ON EARTH. OTHERS INCLUDE: AIR, WATER, AND DUST. HOWEVER, FIRE OCCUPIES THE MOST SIGNIFICANT POSITION AMONG THE REST FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF SACRED RELIGIOUS WORSHIP WHERE IT IS BELIEVED TO REPRESENT THE PRESENCE OF GOD. ALSO, BECAUSE OF THE CRITICAL ROLE THAT FIRE PLAYS IN THE AREA OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE, ANYONE WHO DESIRES ACCESS TO SUPERNATURAL POWER MUST HAVE A DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF FIRE AND ITS SYMBOLISM, AND BE SPIRITUALLY BAPTIZED BY FIRE. BAPTISM BY GODLY FIRE ENDOWS CHILDREN OF GOD WITH SUPERNATURAL AUTHORITY AND ENABLES THEM TO DO EXPLOITS FOR HIM. SO, THIS BAPTISM BY FIRE IS A PRIVILEGE AND GREAT BLESSING TO THE BODY OF CHRIST. THE CONTEMPOARY CHURCH NEEDS BELIEVERS, LIKE MOSES AND ELIJAH, WHOSE HEARTS "BURNED" WITH THIS SPIRITUAL FIRE. IT DISTINGUISHES A BELIEVER FOR SERVICE IN THE KINGDOM WHERE GOD, THE SUPREME JUDGE THAT IS "A CONSUMING FIRE", IS ALSO THE GOD OF MERCY AND GRACE, WHO SAVES THE PENITENT. THIS IS A MYSTERY THAT THIS BOOK TRIES TO UNRAVEL.

This book discusses how the Porch Community helped me locate my writing voice. The Porch Community is located in the City of Nashville-Davidson County, comprising a cross-section of writers. These writers share a mutual interest in becoming more effective writers. The Porch was cofounded by two accomplished writers, Susannah Felts and Katie McDougall. I composed a sermon as a tribute to how they impacted me through my association as a member of the Porch. This book is to let the larger community know that as member of the Porch, my interest involves writing nonfiction like personal essays, poetry, and sermons. This is different. It expresses my Christian faith, relationship with family and friends, and interest in falling in love with an intelligent and attractive woman.

In my career as a purchasing professional, I had to resort to publications on Corporate Purchasing, but the ones I consulted did not address several important subjects.Hence the motivation to write The Ultimate Guide of Purchaser, with over 30,000 copies sold. Nevertheless, renewing the book is indispensable; several new topics are in this edition.Purchasing areas evolve quickly. Decades ago, tools were simple, with almost no electronic resources, and it took days to receive proposals. The focus was on Sales, without valuing Purchases, as if it were possible to survive without competitive costs!Organizational transformations, the reduction of structures, and the change of paradigms require different skills from purchasers to succeed.They participate in defining the purchasing strategy, develop tools to evaluate the supplier's performance, and are vital in implementing Strategic Sourcing and Global Sourcing, for example.When buying a good or service, the purchaser must assess the impact on other processes in the organization's production or operational chain. A company's profits depend on selling well and buying well. Knowing how to negotiate, purchase, and differentiate opportunities from pitfalls are skills that reduce costs and increase earnings.The Ultimate Guide of Purchaser analyzes industrial, service, and commercial acquisitions, and it is worth highlighting how the backbone of procurement procedures is similar in different branches. The book offers valuable insights and serves beginners and those with years in the field.The Ultimate Guide of Purchaser is also helpful for students to learn how to work in purchasing or logistics.Progressing in your career requires adapting to new challenges, and such a task is practically unfeasible without theoretical and practical support, and offering such resources is our modest intention.The development and updating of the book took years, aiming to provide qualified and beneficial information for you, reader!

In this book, I respond to the need for explanations of UAPs/UFOs, as presented by the Report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. I work within the Framework of the Pentagon's statement that UAPs are real objects with advanced intelligently controlled technologies, which are not ours (US). I present explanations of the Physics of UFOs/UAPs and how they work. I analyze and explain UAPs' flight characteristics. I present explanations for the observables listed by the National Intelligence Director's Report. I address and refute the hypothesis that UAPs are advanced hypersonic drones from Russia or China. I review and address the National Security as well as air safety concerns. I present case evidence and historical data supporting the hypothesis that some UFOs/UAPs are advanced technologies that do not seem to originate from Earth. It is evidence that may be conducive to the discovery, the realization that we are not alone in the Universe. This book is also intended to be used for additional reading in Astronomy and Physics classes.

A sophisticated starship travels from a faraway galaxy to a planet capable of sustaining life. The vessel's inhabitants have undergone millennia of careful genetic selection, resulting in supreme intelligence. Due to their highly advanced technology, their lifespans have been extended to eternity. The objective is to perform an experiment at a planetary scale: The Earth Experiment. Their mission is to create intelligent life forms - beginning only with inorganic matter and without physically intervening on the planet - evolution must occur naturally. They face many unexpected complications over the course of the experiment as they use the ability to travel using the star gates technology. All is described in a highly entertaining context, spiced with conflicts between the characters. The book describes the formation of life on earth, extinctions at planetary scale, evolution from algae to intelligent human beings, the effects of alien intervention on the planet, building of pyramids, appearance of God-based religions, and so on.
