The winds of a great storm build to a crescendo of power as its might approaches the coast of the United States. It will drive hundreds of thousands from their homes, many never to return. An earthquake of historical destructive power suddenly strikes from an unknown fault line in California, leaving in its wake the second most costly natural disaster in U.S. history. A flood, the like of which has not been seen for 500 years, ravages the Midwest United States, ruining crops and towns. Bizarre weather afflicts multitudes of people with hundreds of tornados striking in what is described as the "worst weather in U.S. history," immediately followed by a European heat wave described as the worst in the last 250 years. Terrorists successfully strike in another "day of infamy," and the entire financial structure of the world is shaken to its core as once mighty institutions begin to crumble. All of these terrible events would appear on the surface to be random acts of God. But, were they? The Israel Omen considers a series of historically destructive events since 1991, connected by a common thread: warnings found in ancient Hebrew writings. Are these events perhaps the telling signs of an ancient omen, the same omen ignored by Egypt some 3500 years ago resulting in the famous Biblical plagues? Did this omen return with the homecoming of the Jews to the Holy Land in 1948? As the nations of the world gather to remove the restored "Promised Land" from the Jews, the international group called the "Quartet" leading the effort eerily appears to be specifically mentioned in these ancient writings. Was the financial collapse that began in 2007 the beginning of a promised curse against the nations gathered to remove the restored "Promised Land?"

From the 1890s through the 1920s, the postcard was an extraordinarily popular means of communication, and many of the postcards produced during this “golden age” can today be considered works of art. Postcard photographers traveled the length and breadth of the nation snapping photographs of busy street scenes, documenting local landmarks, and assembling crowds of local children only too happy to pose for a picture. These images, printed as postcards and sold in general stores across the country, survive as telling reminders of an important era in America’s history. This fascinating new history of Annapolis, Maryland, showcases more than two hundred of the best vintage postcards available.

An asteroid crashes through the Russian sky, the likes of which no one alive can remember seeing, and the world spectacle leaves a trail of smoke and injuries in its wake. A comet named ISON, touted by some as the brightest ever, arrives in the same year, a year referred to by space publications as "The Year of the Comets." But that would be only the beginning of heavenly wonders. NASA computer models confirmed a rare "tetrad" of blood moons is prepared to fly its heavenly banner in 2014 and 2015, and along with it the sun will darken as well. But back on Earth another spectacle is unfolding. Through the most unlikely series of events, Barack Obama was catapulted from the Illinois state senate into the White House in just four years, causing some to call him the luckiest politician alive. But was his rise to power only luck? The Israelis would ponder that question as his first term came to an end, suddenly finding themselves almost completely surrounded again by their enemies. And at the U. N., where the Jews are hopelessly outnumbered, efforts to create a Palestinian state in the heart of Israel are leaping forward, even as the Israeli leader finally draws a red line against Iran and its nuclear bomb program. With profound geopolitical shifts unfolding in the Mideast since the rise of Obama, a particular interpretation of Matthew 24:6 is causing an array of prophetic Scripture to come to life, fitting together like the pieces of a puzzle. And their harmony with current events portends a coming sequence of world-shaking events on the horizon: An Israel-Iran war, a grand peace treaty in Palestine, and then a great war among nations.

The Motif Programming Manual is a source for complete, accurate, and insightful guidance on Motif application programming. There is no other book that covers the ground as thoroughly or as well as this one. The book has been updated to Motif 1.2, but is still usable with Motif 1.1.The Motif Programming Manual describes how to write applications using the Motif toolkit from the Open Software Foundation (OSF). The book goes into detail on every Motif widget class, with useful examples that will help programmers to develop their own code. Anyone doing Motif programming who doesn't want to have to figure it out on their own needs this book.In addition to information on Motif, the book is full of tips about programming in general and about user interface design.Contents include:
<ul>
<li>An introduction to the Motif programming model, how it is based on the X Toolkit Intrinsics, and how it differs from them.</li>
<li>Chapters on each of the Motif widget classes, explaining them in depth, with useful examples that will help you to improve your own code. For example, the chapter on menus shows how to develop utility functions that generalize and simplify menu creation. All of the code shown in the book is available free of charge over the Internet or via UUCP.</li>
<li>Coverage of the drag-and-drop mechanism for transferring data. Two extensive examples show how to implement custom drag source and drop site functionality in a Motif application.</li>
<li>A tutorial on UIL. The chapters on UIL describe all of the techniques used to create an interface with this prototyping tool. The numerous examples cover the basics and explore ways to use UIL to facilitate rapid prototyping.</li>,/ul&gt;The book assumes competence with the C programming language, as well as familiarity with fundamental X Window System concepts. The Motif Programming Manual is not only the most comprehensive guide to writing applications with Motif, it is an integral part of the most widely used series of books on X as a whole. It complements and builds upon the earlier books in the X Window System Series from O'Reilly &amp; Associates, as well as on OSF's own Motif Style Guide. Best when paired with Volume 6B, Motif Reference Manual.</ul>

The Motif Reference Manual is a complete programmer's reference for the Motif toolkit from the Open Software Foundation (OSF). Motif has become the standard user interface for X Window System applications, and the Motif toolkit makes it easy for programmers to build applications that conform with the Motif "look and feel."Dan Heller's Motif Programming Manual has long been considered the most authoritative and insightful work on Motif. Now, with the addition of this companion reference manual, programmers can dispense completely with the original OSF documentation. In addi- tion to covering the entire Motif toolkit, this book also covers OSF's "User Interface Language" or UIL, and the Motif Resource Manager (MRM) functions used to tie together applications with user interfaces defined in UIL.Contents include:
<ul>
<li>Reference pages for all of the Motif functions and macros.</li>
<li>Reference pages for the widget classes defined by the Motif toolkit and the X Toolkit Intrinsics.</li>
<li>Reference pages for the Motif Resource Manager (Mrm) functions that are used in conjunction with UIL.</li>
<li>Reference pages for the Motif clients: mwm, uil, and xmbind.</li>
<li>Reference pages that describe the file format of a User Interface Language module.</li>
<li>Reference pages for the data types supported by UIL.</li>
<li>Reference pages for the User Interface Language functions.</li>
<li>A permuted index and a regular index.</li>
<li>A number of appendices and quick reference aids including a list of new functions, widget classes, and widget resources in Motif 1.2.</li>
</ul>This book is designed to be used with Volume 6A, Motif Programming Manual, which describes how to build applications using the Motif toolkit and provides a complete tutorial with programming examples. Both of the books are an integral part of the X Window System series from O'Reilly &amp; Associates, Inc.

This book is the story of two amazing passages - one of an idea, the other of a man - and how they came together to bring about one of the most socially significant Supreme Court decisions in recent history. 
The first story traces the history-making Cleveland Voucher Program from its intellectual inception in 1992 to its approval by the Supreme Court of the United States on June 27, 2002. 
Things may never be the same again for the education establishment in the US. The highest court in the land, by upholding the Cleveland Voucher Program, has finally allowed competition with the established public school system for the taxpayers' dollar. Failing public schools and dysfunctional systems are no longer safe from competition. The children of the working poor and the economically disadvantaged need no longer be sentenced to snake pit schools. 
The parallel story is that of Dave Brennan, who shepherded the Cleveland Voucher Program from its scratch-paper beginnings to its vindication by the nation's highest court. It traces Dave's own passage from highly successful manufacturing entrepreneur to educational advocate. 
VICTORY FOR KIDS is a must-have for all taxpayers...not just those interested in educational issues and the government's involvement in education. You don't have to be a parent to care about this seminal case. 
"I thank God for Dave Brennan because he has the passion to stand up and push something that he believes in; and those are the people who really make a difference today in this nation." - Senator George Voinovich, Ohio

This book introduces chemical engineering students to key concepts, strategies, and evaluation methods in sustainable process engineering. The book is intended to supplement chemical engineering texts in fundamentals and design, rather than replace them. The key objectives of the book are to widen system boundaries beyond a process plant to include utility supplies, interconnected plants, wider industry sectors, and entire product life cycles; identify waste and its sources in process and utility systems and adopt waste minimization strategies; broaden evaluation to include technical, economic, safety, environmental, social, and sustainability criteria and to integrate the assessments; and broaden the engineering horizon to incorporate planning, development, design, and operations. Case examples are integrated with chapter topics throughout, and defined problems that reflect current industry challenges are provided. Contexts include electricity generation, waste sulfuric acid minimization, petroleum fuel desulfurization, and byproduct hydrogen utilization.
