The United States has a problem â€" a big problem. Due to costs associated with the massive bailout of financial institutions deemed "too big to fail," on-going armed conflicts, and a move towards socialism, another even bigger bubble is about to burst â€" the debt bubble. The Great Super Cycle: Profit from the Coming Inflation Tidal Wave and Dollar Devaluation is an intriguing look at the relationship between Washington and Wall Street; the history of political shifts in power and how those shifts influenced the global economy; and, the ways investors can profit as economies move away from U.S. dollar and debt. The book:

• Discusses how a socialist America will result in the U.S. economy becoming far less competitive, while causing funds to move offshore
• Details how investors can profit by investing in gold, oil, and Asian markets
• Explains major cyclical movements from the mega cycle of world power to stock market cycles which last 10-20 years.

As the United States begins to deal with its massive debt bubble, The Great Super Cycle just might prove the most powerful tool an investor has for making money in the turbulent years to come.

Question by Jay: How to get teens involved with and committed to volunteer work and service projects?

How do you get teens involved with and committed to service projects? It seems that the majority teens today can't be bothered or are simply too busy to apply themselves to any cause that isn't within their scope of interestsâ€"and most often service and volunteer work comes last on their list of priorities that include socialization, gaming, and/or studying.

Getting teens to spread the word and bring friends to help volunteer helps somewhat, but even then, this strategy doesn't yield great r esults. Help?




Best answer:

Answer by Minerva
Make it into something fun, not something that seems like work. Try to involve the things that you mentioned that they do or like to do into a service project. Allow time for socializing, celebrating, games, etc. If it involves something that can be divided into teams, make it into a competition with some kind of prize or recognition to motivate them. It might seem bad that you have to do that to get people to help, but not everyone is simply and truly interested in contributing to the common good.

Apparition & Late Fictions: A Novella and Stories





Heart-rending stories of life and death: a debut fiction collection by the award-winning author of The Undertaking. A Methodist minister gone astray, a grieving trout bum gone fishing with his father’s remains, an artist overwhelmed by incarnate beautyâ€"these are just a few of the iconic yet utterly unique characters in Thomas Lynch’s spirited collection. Set i n Michigan’s north woods, in Ohio’s interior, on islands, in casinos, and in distant cities, these stories are linked by the gone and not forgotten: former spouses, dead parents, and missing children. In pursuit of love and its redemptions, these are pilgrims haunted by memory, dogged by desire, made radiant by romance and its denouements.

With the elegant prose of Frederick Busch and the Irish sensibility of William Trevor, Lynch masterfully creates a world where mirage and apparition are commonplace, where people searching for connection and old comforts find them both near at hand and oddly out of reach.

Cuando intenta averiguar algo mas, Maureen emprende un viaje cargado de peligros por Italia y Francia, al tiempo que se da cuenta de que esta en la pista de un nuevo y sorprendente descubrimiento: el Libro del Amor, el Evangelio escrito por la propia mano de Jesus. Al tiempo que va investigando la historia de la condesa Matilda, una extraordinaria mujer guerrera del siglo xi, que se habia casado en secreto con un Papa, Maureen empieza a encontrar extranas conexiones entre la condesa y ella misma, conexiones que debe rastrear hasta su origen si quiere impedir que el Libro del Amor caiga en las manos equivocadas y desaparezca para siempre. Combinando la verdadera y poco conocida historia de la condesa Matilda con la emocionante busqueda de Maureen, sumergida en los misterios del laberinto y en la hermosa poesia del Cantar de los Cantares, esta extraordinaria novela sigue a dos asom brosas heroinas cuyas vidas se unen a traves de los siglos. / Maureen Paschal thought she might rest and work on her book after discovering the gospel written by Mary Magdalene that revealed Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married.

She discovers that its author is an extraordinary woman whom history has overlooked -- or covered up -- Countess Matilda of Tuscany, and in the letter Matilda demands the return of her ""most precious books and documents."" Maureen soon finds herself in a race across Italy and France, where h idden dangers await her and her lover, Berenger, as they begin to realize that they are on the trail of another explosive discovery: the Book of Love, the Gospel written in Jesus' own hand.

A History of Christianity: The First Three Thousand Years





Christianity, one of the world's great religions, has had an incalculable impact on human history. This book, now the most comprehensive and up to date single volume work in English, describes not only the main ideas and personalities of Christian history, its organisation and spirituality, but how it has changed politics, sex, and human society. Diarmaid MacCulloch ranges from Palestine in the fir st century to India in the third, from Damascus to China in the seventh century and from San Francisco to Korea in the twentieth. He is one of the most widely travelled of Christian historians and conveys a sense of place as arrestingly as he does the power of ideas. He presents the development of Christian history differently from any of his predecessors. He shows how, after a semblance of unity in its earliest centuries, the Christian church divided during the next 1400 years into three increasingly distanced parts, of which the western Church was by no means always the most important: he observes that at the end of the first eight centuries of Christian history, Baghdad might have seemed a more likely capital for worldwide Christianity than Rome. This is the first truly global history of Christianity.
