Awarded an American Legion Scholarship I am also an award winning author and have published numerous articles and books. Having attended several colleges and universities eventually earning my Ph. D. in Human Behavior I hold several life credentials in education earned during many years as an educator together with years spent working in the Aerospace Industry and other occupations. But to call Einstein's famous equation E=MC2 incomplete because it does not account for life and death does seem quite extraordinary, yet these remain the two greatest mysteries they have ever been denying us thus far a "theory of everything." The title of this book: "Hey, God! What went wrong and when are You going to fix it?" is a perfectly legitimate question and one that often comes to the minds of most of us. We know something animates life and departs with death, but what this "something" is not all our science has yet discovered, though things like the Large Hadron Collider may provide needed insight, and it has been in the pursuit of knowledge about these two greatest mysteries that has compelled me into so many varied academic studies and careers attempting to make sense of the world and our place in it and how people think and deal with the issues of life and death philosophically, religiously, and politically. The things I have discovered along the way compelled me to much research and speculation about these mysteries and how they impact our lives, to communicate my thoughts about them to others. But there are many things, some of them terribly wrong which we wish God would intervene and set right and question why He does not. Some years ago I removed from the greater part of society to live in semi-seclusion alone with my books and thoughts in a quiet part of the Sequoia National Forest devoting myself to contemplation, speculating about many things and committing my thoughts in writing fulltime. As a writer and author given to much introspection and fascinated by human behavior, nature, and our universe it was important to me to simplify my life as much as possible as anyone given to philosophical speculation about many things must. That much of my writing covers some metaphysical thoughts about God, angels and demons, an afterlife and Biblical stories of origins, of prophecies of the End Times and so much more have been absorbing studies as well and I freely share my thoughts about these in this volume.

The definitive account of the tumultuous events that led to Ireland going broke in 2010 From the night the Irish government guaranteed the debts of Irish banks in September 2008 Ireland was on a one-way road to ruin. In How Ireland Really Went Bust Matt Cooper, journalist, broadcaster and No 1 bestselling author of Who Really Runs Ireland?, describes the events that climaxed with the arrival of the heavy hitters from the IMF and the ECB in Government Buildings in November 2010 - and he assesses the fall-out of that fateful period in Ireland's recent history. Drilling deep into the human dramas, the business catastrophes, the economic collapse and the unprecedented political upheaval that characterised the time after the bank bailout, Cooper gets to the heart of what really happened. And he investigates the background of the key decisions and reveals why they were taken, and by whom, to throw new light on a period that changed Ireland forever. 'A considerable piece of work ... read it and weep' Irish Times 'Cooper's previous bestseller Who Really Runs Ireland? was an authoritative and hugely readable account that told you everything you needed to know about who's who in Ireland and the golden circles that linked business and politics for generations. How Ireland Really Went Bust is equally impressive' Irish Independent 'A lively commentary with nuggets galore ... not just readable, but full of surprises' Sunday Independent '[A] brilliant achievement that should be read by anyone interested in the state of the nation' Evening Herald 'Up-to-the-minute and exhaustive ...

This book was written to help those that have had a head cold. Yes I have had this formula for twenty years, with great results. Why did I wait to finally publish this information t this time? Well like many before me, I also went through divorce and just didn't feel that this was my top priority. I needed to heal from the divorce. What a terrible event to go through. Writing a book was not the first items on my list. What really started me to write this book was the failing airlines business. It took me one month to draft a letter, and send to around forty major airlines and business, including the White House. Just before I sent the letter out to the airlines, I heard over the radio that our U.S. Post Office was going broke. So I included the Post Office in the letter, plus sent them a bail out plan. I figured that they don't know me, so nothing ventured, nothing lost. I have seen a lot of things in my life just like most of you have. So I started to write down and make some notes on the different subjects that i thought would help others, and also be a little interesting to read. This process took maybe two months or so, to gather enough information to just maybe think about writing a book. Besides the head cold formula, I felt the need to give my opinion on how to help those that have gone through divorce, and ended up with depression. When one goes through divorce, most won't feel like even reading, because most of the energy is being drained by the trauma and emotions of going through the divorce. You are lucky to even read a few pages about anything, let alone a whole book. The experts that write these self-help books do a great job, and are very knowledge about the subject that they are writing about. We should give them a lot of credit for there efforts. Because your systems are shut down from divorce, you just don't want to take the time ti read the full length books. Well at least I didn't. So I felt that if I could just give you the quality without the quantity, you just might get the information that just might help you get through the divorce and the depression that sometimes might follow. This book was based on the idea of inventing. The head cold was a big part of writing this book because it is a part of inventing. Something that no one has ever done before. I have been inventing most of my life and just never thought of myself as an inventor. The rest of these subjects were included because they were also part of inventing and self-help. How I tripled a small business income in four years just shows how one can do it, and how to apply some of the ideas that I used. Our Fuzzy toys are about a patent that I applied for, to get a unique teddy bear to market. Marriage is included to help those, that want a few more tips to make yourself, more aware of the marriage that you are in. Depression; this one will hit home for a lot of good people, and there is a way of beating this dreadful ailment without the use of drugs. Now that's a change. I wish I would have found this answer twelve years sooner; it would have saved me a lot of grief. Religion is part of the healing process, that's why I included this into the reading of this book. I'll tell you why you feel so bad, explains just why you feel the way you do. Jim's Theory on depression will give you a few tips to deal with what you are going through, and how to get rid of this dreadful disease. How many people write about the Homeless, probably not very many, but if you read this short article you will get some insight to how it will help you battle depression. One going through depression is looking for as many answers as they can get. This one will finally give you the answer that you are looking for. At least this answer worked for me, and it should work for you also. Vitamins and Minerals are included because I have found out healing powers that anyone can take, to get better health, without a prescription drug. Wo

“Concentrating on personal finance don’ts is a clever idea . . . an intriguing reminder of what not to do when investing your money.” —The New York Times Brilliant investors and top businesspeople make mistakes, too—very expensive ones. Drawing on his twenty-plus years of experience at some of Wall Street’s most prestigious firms, as well as original research and interviews with these legendary investors, Stephen Weiss offers fascinating narrative accounts of their billion-dollar blunders. Here, such prominent figures as Kirk Kerkorian, Bill Ackman, David Bonderman, Aubrey McClendon, and Leon Cooperman discuss the most significant trade or investment that went against them, the magnitude of the loss, its effect on their businesses—and on their personal lives. The book skillfully examines the causal relationship between the quirks of each investor’s personality and the mistakes they have committed—as well as the lessons learned. While some investors made errors of judgment, others made errors of perception. But no matter how many zeros were attached to these particular losses, investors at any level can profit from the wisdom gained—and avoid the same missteps. “When a great investor flubs it, everyone can learn a lesson. With that in mind, author Stephen Weiss delves into the biggest mistakes of such Wall Street luminaries as Bill Ackman, Leon Cooperman and Richard Pzena.” —Barron’s
