Using Eris - the largest of the dwarf planets beyond Neptune - as a symbol of finality or goal, the ultimate, a lucid possibility, a brilliant clue, a way out of anything, and from a metaphysical perspective, what happens beyond imagination and what transcends life on earth, the poet explores ordinary facts of rural and urban life, encompassing the multiple themes of cultural and personal inter-relational values, including love, compassion, war, solitude, man's interaction with nature, etc. Accordingly, the poet draws his imagery from various down-to-earth experiences and universally familiar scenery to drive home specific ideas. For the most part, the local color consists of commonplace geographical sceneries and characters with recognizable traits with which the reader is able to associate.

The focus of this descriptive analysis is on the organizational framework of the largest Cultural Orientation (CO) project in the world implemented by the International Catholic Migration Commission (ICMC), which was contracted by the United States Department of State, Bureau for Refugee Programs, to conduct refugee resettlement education in Bata-an, the Republic of the Philippines for Indo-Chinese refugees bound for resettlement in the United States of America. From 1980 to 1990, ICMC/Philippines provided Cultural Orientation to a quarter of a million Indo-Chinese refugees. This inquiry establishes and clarifies what were some of the assumptions which contributed to the conceptualization of CO program instruction for adult Southeast Asian refugees intended to help the refugee achieve positive adjustment to life in the United States of America. The salient questions addressed in this research are: (1) What is overseas refugee education? (2) How is it constructed and conceptualized? (3) How is it practiced and implemented? and (4) Can the Philippines Refugee Processing Center serve as a model for preparing refugees to live in a Western multi-ethnic society? Postulated in the analysis are the strengths and weaknesses of the following elements staff training and development, educational theory, and refugee resettlement.Hypothesis testing of selected program elements and replication design of the locus of the program leading to conceptualization of refugee education include: selected cases studies, surveys (statistical and quantitative), policy review and analysis, personal interviews and legal opinions.The findings of the field-based research support the original hypothesis that certain operational concepts of American Cultural Orientation (CO) were "dysfunctional" and "incompatible" with the goals of preparing Southeast Asian refugees for successful adjustment to living in the United States of America. Moreover, the findings will be useful to U.S. Government officials, educators, researchers and refugee resettlement professionals who will consider the value of this study from the perspective of naturalized American citizen whose country of origin is the Republic of the Philippines.Felipe Cofreros, Ph.D.

This is a book about the making of a hero - a rescuer. There are few of us that can claim to be bigger-than-life heroes, but surely the story of Dr. Otto Trott's life is the story of one of these. Because of his existence many lives have been saved or improved, human suffering has been reduced, and the world is a better place. What greater statement can be made about a person?A hiker sees the beautiful blue of a mountain gentian just off the trail and stops to capture the image through a snapshot, but in seeking a slightly wider angle steps back -- in a flash the hiker lies injured amid the rocks. A snowboarder searches for untouched powder snow, but finds a cliff instead. A small plane has engine trouble and glides steeply toward a mountain meadow. An early snowstorm catches two climbers exposed in the high alpine. An avalanche buries a foolish snowmobiler trying to make the highest mark on the side of snow-covered slope. An older gentleman has a heart attack far from his city hospital.It's quite possible and even probable that what all of the above have in common is Dr. Otto Trott. He co-founded the search and rescue organization that seeks out the injured and carries them down from the mountains, he pioneered the medical treatments that will be used for hypothermia and frostbite, he introduced advanced European methods of climbing as well as the identification of avalanche danger areas and the systematic search for and rescue of accident victims. Most importantly, Otto taught generations of others to follow in his footsteps. As Lou Whittaker, the renowned mountain guide states, "This book is a must for anyone who seeks the mountains and their reward." Dee Molenaar the acclaimed mountaineer, artist and writer, says that this treatise is long overdue, while the legendary high altitude premier climber Jim Wickwire writes that "Nicholas Corff has brought to life the fascinating story of Otto Trott..." There is no question that Dr. Otto Trott was one of those few men who was a legend in his own time, but he always remained a man of great empathy as well as skill who sought to relieve suffering, improve the safety of the outdoors and protect the mountain environment he so loved. In his long and adventuresome life he overcame great loss with courage and perseverance, and ultimately was the recipient of many awards including the Jefferson Award. Along with the text there are over 250 full page photos and illustrations.

As human beings we have all had not only our own unique experiences but also ones that are universal and can be shared with so many others. This book deals not only with the seemingly mundane but also with issues or experiences not shared by all. It is important that people be given a voice to validate the things they find difficult to express or share with others. Most importantly people need to be inspired and to have their spirit, hope, sense of peace and self-identity re-ignited. It is important to learn from the past but we must also be willing to learn from others and engage in a future that encompasses empathy, hope, peace, laughter, and overcoming the trials in our lives.Some of the common themes in this book are: Choosing to go through trials in our lives and come out stronger. Choosing to receive and reciprocate true love and friendship in our lives. Choosing not to allow others to steal away the best of who we are. Dealing with being different, such as those who have premonitions or special gifts that define who they are. Taking responsibility for actions and teaching children to do the same with respect, dignity, honesty and humility. It deals with loss and grief, life lessons and the quest to overcome the worst, such as not allowing others to dump their toxic baggage at our feet. Most importantly, acknowledging that we all need silence and solitude in our lives to restore our spirit and listen for the guidance we need to take the next steps in our lives in confidence and with a sense of peace that we are on the right track. It is about life and the choices we make that effect not only ourselves but also those around us.

It is on this new journey that Mortimer will be offered redemption and the chance to fulfill his destiny.

This extraordinary exposé of corruption and intrigue in the Nevada legal profession and judiciary tells the true story of the Whitehead Case, the longest and most controversial case in the history of the Nevada Supreme Court. The tale begins with the efforts by the political enemies of Nevada district court judge Jerry Carr Whitehead to eliminate him from the bench. When the Nevada Supreme Court issued an order to the Nevada Commission on Judicial Discipline to temporarily halt further illegal actions against Judge Whitehead, the reaction of the Discipline Commission''s members and the state''s Attorney General (with the aid of the state''s largest newspaper) was swift and furious retaliation. Whitehead Revisited reads like a John Grisham legal thriller. When the panel of judges in the Whitehead Case appointed a Special Master to investigate numerous violations of the court''s orders, he soon uncovered an elaborate conspiracy, orchestrated by members of a prominent Nevada law firm, to eliminate Justices Charles Springer and Thomas Steffen from the Nevada Supreme Court -- and to replace them with justices more "friendly" to the firm.Attempts to unlawfully intervene in the Whitehead Case in order to stop the investigation were then made by three other Nevada Supreme Court justices (two of whom had been disqualifed from the case) and the Attorney General - all of whom were on the Special Master''s list of prime suspects in his investigation of this nefarious plot to stack the Nevada Supreme Court.

There were two issues that were foundational to this intellectual quagmire I found myself in. First was the problem of universal selfishness-I discovered, to my horror, that all my choices were essentially selfish, and I viewed everyone else through these dark-tinted spectacles as well. I saw no way out of this labyrinth. Not only did my will seem trapped, I was led to believe it didn't exist at all, for our biology book plainly stated that man is a product of his environment and heredity, and thus all choices must be predetermined by outside forces. Therefore, free will was an illusion, which negated love, which in turn called God into question-at least, the god of the Bible who is declared to be the judge of all. For how could he be just if we haven't the capacity to choose?

Prenez note qu'à moins que vous soyez très fort spirituellement, pour faire face à la désolation, ce livre n'est pas pour vous, parce que son contenu dévoile une très grande partie de la laideur de Satan et ce n'est pas très beau à voir. Moi, je suis déjà averti depuis plus de vingt ans et j'ai eu de la difficulté à passer à travers et l'endos de ce livre n'est pas assez vaste pour exprimer tout mon désarroi. Le Messie a déclaré ceci de très important, qui est écrit dans ;) Matthieu 24, 15. 'Lorsque vous verrez l'abomination de la désolation dont a parlé le prophète Daniel, établie en lieu saint- (dans la Bible) que celui qui lit fasse attention.' (Alors l'abomination, le diable s'est infiltré dans les Saintes Écritures. C'est triste, mais c'est aussi vrai. J'ai eu du mal à le croire au début, mais j'ai bien dû me rendre à l'évidence. C'est que l'heure est grave, très grave, car elle indique que la fin est proche et c'est aussi le même Messie qui l'a dit.) Voir Matthieu 24, 33. 'De même, quand vous verrez toutes ces choses, (dont je parle dans ce livre) sachez que le Fils de l'homme est proche, à la porte.' (Le retour du Messie marquera la fin de ce monde corrompu, avec tout le mal qu'il comporte et marquera le début d'une nouvelle ère, l'ère du royaume de Dieu, que vous y croyez ou pas. Jacques Prince, un disciple de Jésus averti !
