High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In early Latter Day Saint history, seer stones were stones used, primarily by Joseph Smith, Jr., to receive revelations from God. Smith owned at least two seer stones, which he had earlier employed for treasure seeking before he founded the church. Other early Mormons such as Hiram Page, David Whitmer, and Jacob Whitmer also owned seer stones. Seer stones are mentioned in the Book of Mormon and in other Latter Day Saint scriptures. James Strang, who claimed to be Joseph Smith's designated successor, also unearthed what he said were ancient metal plates and translated them using seer stones.

"La teorio de la socialismo en unu lando estis unue formulita en la aŭtuno de 1924 de Stalino, en kompleta kontraŭeco ne nur al la tradicioj de la marksismo kaj de la skolo de Lenino, sed ankaŭ al tio, kion Stalino ankoraŭ en la printempo de la sama jaro 1924 estis skribinta. La profundo de la forlaso de la marksismo, kiun la stalina "skolo" faras en la demandoj de la socialisma konstruado estas en principa rilato ne malpli grava kaj radikala ol ekz-e la rompo de la germanaj socialdemokratoj kun la marksismo en demandoj de la milito kaj de la patriotismo en aŭgusto de 1914, t.e. precize dek jarojn antaŭ la stalina ŝanĝego. Tiu komparo ne estas hazarda. La "eraro" de Stalino kaj la "eraro" de la germanaj socialdemokratoj signifas: nacisocialismon." (Leo Trocko)
En tiu ĉi libro Leo Trocko klarigas sian koncepton de "daŭrigata revolucio" en polemika diskuto kun siaj kritikantoj, ĉefe Stalino, kaj ĉi-kaze Karlo Radeko. Trocko klarigas ĉi tie ne nur sian - la marksan - koncepton de la proletara revolucio, sed krome la sendialektikan kaj nemarksisman kaj lastinstance kontraurevolucian strategion kaj taktikon de Stalino kaj ties favoratoj.

Many followers of Jesus Christ mistakenly believe they are good people. Most non-believers see themselves as good, since they believe the universe probably grades on the curve. Between the flawed doctrine of believers, and the absence of doctrine in non-believers, the purpose of this book is to cogently discuss the point that we are sin-cursed, and are seen by a loving God as wretched, Hell-bound creatures in need of a Savior.
Written by established authors, this book follows the prescribed formula for all beginning readers: they have large print, simple words, plenty of space between lines, and just enough pictures to keep the reader from feeling overwhelmed by the text.
Vincent van Gogh's story is one of the most ironic in art history. Today, he is celebrated the world over as one of the most important painters of all time, recognized with sell-out shows, feted museums, and record prices of tens of millions of dollars at auction.
Yet as he was painting the canvases that would subsequently become these sell-out modern masterpieces, van Gogh was battling not only the disinterest of his contemporary audiences but also devastating bouts of mental illness, with episodes of depression and paralyzing anxiety which would eventually claim his life in 1890, when he committed suicide shortly after his 37th birthday.
This comprehensive study of Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) pairs a detailed monograph on his life and art with a complete catalogue of his 871 paintings.

In a dark and brooding world where conspiracy theories are no longer just theory, the fate of humanity hinges on the whims of the sociopathic elite - a hidden hierarchy which vie in a secret war amongst themselves, crushing anyone who gets in their way. Every man, woman and child, every agency, every nation state, are but pawns in the greater game of power and control. Chris Trent, an archaeology student and activist is thrown into the middle of this power struggle when he inadvertently uncovers a "Relic" - ancient technology which turns him into a living weapon too deadly to remain uncontrolled. Press-ganged into the service of a corrupt government agency, he discovers a breakaway society entrenched in intrigue, manipulation, corruption and betrayal, which puppeteers the modern world from the shadows. The only light in the darkness is the unexpected camaraderie of his fellow "Relics" and the hope that they can break their bonds of servitude and save mankind from the seemingly inevitable slide towards a cruel totalitarian police state. But is it already too late? Jumping from present day to a not-too-distant dystopian future and back again, Born Lucid - Book 1 of the Born Lucid Series lets you see actual modern day events and real government legislation in a whole new light...

Shark turns upon an actual incident in WWII - mentioned in the film Jaws - when the ship which had delivered the fissile material to the south Pacific to be dropped on Hiroshima was subsequently sunk by a Japanese submarine with the loss of 900 men, including 200 killed in the largest shark attack ever recorded.

Moneyball is a quest for the secret of success in baseball. Following the low-budget Oakland Athletics, their larger-than-life general manger, Billy Beane, and the strange brotherhood of amateur baseball enthusiasts, Michael Lewis has written not only "the single most influential baseball book ever" (Rob Neyer, Slate) but also what "may be the best book ever written on business" (Weekly Standard).
I wrote this book because I fell in love with a story. The story concerned a small group of undervalued professional baseball players and executives, many of whom had been rejected as unfit for the big leagues, who had turned themselves into one of the most successful franchises in Major League Baseball. But the idea for the book came well before I had good reason to write it-before I had a story to fall in love with. It began, really, with an innocent question: how did one of the poorest teams in baseball, the Oakland Athletics, win so many games?
With these words Michael Lewis launches us into the funniest, smartest, and most contrarian book since, well, since Liar's Poker. Moneyball is a quest for something as elusive as the Holy Grail, something that money apparently can't buy: the secret of success in baseball. The logical places to look would be the front offices of major league teams, and the dugouts, perhaps even in the minds of the players themselves. Lewis mines all these possibilities-his intimate and original portraits of big league ballplayers are alone worth the price of admission-but the real jackpot is a cache of numbers-numbers!-collected over the years by a strange brotherhood of amateur baseball enthusiasts: software engineers, statisticians, Wall Street analysts, lawyers and physics professors.
What these geek numbers show-no, prove-is that the traditional yardsticks of success for players and teams are fatally flawed. Even the box score misleads us by ignoring the crucial importance of the humble base-on-balls. This information has been around for years, and nobody inside Major League Baseball paid it any mind. And then came Billy Beane, General Manager of the Oakland Athletics.
Billy paid attention to those numbers -with the second lowest payroll in baseball at his disposal he had to-and this book records his astonishing experiment in finding and fielding a team that nobody else wanted. Moneyball is a roller coaster ride: before the 2002 season opens, Oakland must relinquish its three most prominent (and expensive) players, is written off by just about everyone, and then comes roaring back to challenge the American League record for consecutive wins.
In a narrative full of fabulous characters and brilliant excursions into the unexpected, Michael Lewis shows us how and why the new baseball knowledge works. He also sets up a sly and hilarious morality tale: Big Money, like Goliath, is always supposed to win... how can we not cheer for David?

This book grew out of a series of letters to my daughter concerning various things - mostly about money and investing - she was not yet quite ready to hear.
Since money is the single most powerful tool we have for navigating this complex world we've created, understanding it is critical.
"But Dad," she once said, "I know money is important. I just don't want to spend my life thinking about it." This was eye-opening. I love this stuff. But most people have better things to do with their precious time. Bridges to build, diseases to cure, treaties to negotiate, mountains to climb, technologies to create, children to teach, businesses to run.
Unfortunately, benign neglect of things financial leaves you open to the charlatans of the financial world. The people who make investing endlessly complex, because if it can be made complex it becomes more profitable for them, more expensive for us, and we are forced into their waiting arms.
Here's an important truth: Complex investments exist only to profit those who create and sell them. Not only are they more costly to the investor, they are less effective.
The simple approach I created for her and present now to you is not only easy to understand and implement, it is more powerful than any other.
Together we'll explore:
Debt: why you must avoid it and what to do if you have it The importance of having f-you money How to think about money, and the unique way understanding this is key to building your wealth Where traditional investing advice goes wrong and what actually works What the stock market really is and how it really works Why the stock market always goes up and why most people still lose money investing in it How to invest in a raging bull or bear market Specific investments to implement these strategies The Wealth Building and Wealth Preservation phases of your investing life and why they are not always tied to your ageHow your asset allocation is tied to those phases and how to choose itHow to simplify the sometimes confusing world of 401(k), 403(b), TSP, IRA, and Roth accountsTRFs (target retirement funds), HSAs (health savings accounts), and RMDs (required minimum distributions) What investment firm to use and why the one I recommend is so far superior to the competitionWhy you should be very cautious when engaging an investment advisor and whether you need to at allWhy and how you can be conned, and how to avoid becoming preyWhy I don't recommend dollar cost averagingWhat financial independence looks like and how to have your money support youWhat the Four Percent Rule is and how to use it to safely spend your wealthThe truth behind Social SecurityA case study on how this all can be implemented in real life
