Over the course of his short life, Michael Patrick Murphy came to personify three critically important pillars of leadership. First, before you can lead, you must positively influence others. Second, you must develop an unshakable moral character. Third, you must always act with integrity consistent with that character... an integrity and character that transcends position-only leadership and provides the all-important moral authority to lead. On June 28, 2005 LT Michael P. Murphy faced two profound moral leadership questions; the first after capturing three civilian non-combatants. The second to deliberately put himself in the enemy's direct line of fire in a final effort to get help for his men. How Michael P. Murphy chose to answer those two questions will forever separate him from those he fought. This book details the leadership traits of the most celebrated Medal of Honor recipient since World War II.

Derek Owens joined the Marine Corps to make a difference in the world. After being seriously wounded in battle, he was given convalescent leave. While on leave, he visited the families of Marines who served with him and were killed in action.

While trying to meet the family of a Marine in a small town in North Carolina, he met and fell in love with a woman who happened to be in love with someone else. Saddened, he returned to the Marines to finish out his obligation.

Upon his discharge, he joined a police department in Florida in hopes of making a difference in people's lives. While he did make a difference in some lives, he found himself wrestling alligators, getting into high-speed wild car chases, and surviving a shoot-out with a serial killer.

After five years of police work, he felt God calling him to do something else, so he resigned from the police department. As he sought God's will in his life, he frequently prayed and finally discovered his true calling. And at the end of his journey, he found true faith and love.

I started my journey looking for truth and a closer relationship with God!

I always knew deep down inside that there was more to me than just this life, I felt it deep within me, that

I was more than just this and so, I started a quest to discover what it was I always knew was there.

In the beginning my journey took me to many dark places, but in the end, I would discover that although

truth gives light to many dark secrets it also reveals a reality beyond my wildest imagination.

Later I was asked by Jesus to write a book that would share my walk with others who like me were searching for a closer relationship with Him.

Jesus brought Kevin Zadai into my life about 4 years ago to help me learn how to have favor with Him and it was through Kevin that

Jesus spoke His Truths to me. Twice I went to Him in prayer, and asked, Lord is Kevin who I should be listening to and twice I was

told the same thing? Kevin is of me, listen to him, and apply the truths I reveal to you to your life. Since that day I have done just that,

and this book is a confirmation of what happened in my life after I did, and the journey God took me on to get there.

In this third book, Gary and his dog, Guen, return to the historic streets of St. Augustine, Florida, to discuss such wide-ranging topics as Edgar Allan Poe, disco, black holes, dinosaur ghosts, the fourth Earl of Sandwich, Village People, and more. This continuing series is sure to leave you smiling, or shaking your head, or both.

While walking Guen through the historic streets of St. Augustine this morning, we were on Carrera Street when I said, Congratulations are in order, Guen. When they weighed you at the vet's office yesterday, you were seven pounds lighter than last year. That's a good chunk of extra padding.

It wasn't extra 'padding.' I like to think of it as shedding my 'winter buffer.'

Were you expecting a blizzard in St. Augustine last year?

Problem Statement: The DoD and the DOE through the NNSA, work very closely when designing, developing, producing, updating and dismantling nuclear weapons and their delivery systems. The process of fielding a nuclear weapon system is a very long and arduous process and requires a great deal of cooperation and collaboration on the part of the two organizations. This paper will examine how the Departments of Defense and Energy work together to develop nuclear weapon systems and provide recommendations on how the processes may be changed to work better together. Methodology followed in conducting the research: The first step in the research was to study relevant documents and attend and take on-line courses that cover the nuclear weapon acquisition processes for the DoD and DOE. After better understanding the acquisition process, Several interviews were conducted with individuals involved in the process of acquiring nuclear weapons systems, both within the DoD and the DOE. During these interviews individuals were asked if they believed there are better ways to accomplish the mission of fielding and sustaining nuclear weapons; these answers were considered for recommendations on how to make the nuclear weapon acquisition processes work better.

This book is about multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis that I have and how I plan to move forward with my life after my diagnosis.

MS hit me at a very young age and has disabled me and put me in a wheelchair.
My goal is to encourage young men and women with this diagnosis, telling them we can make it.

Believe in yourself, and if you put your mind to it, you can do it whatever it is.

Diagnosis for MS has no cure, but life must go on. MS is not a killer, and when you're so young, you need to find a way to keep going.

Quitting is not an option; we must find a way to move forward with life we can win.
It feels good to see your goals come to life. The only way MS can stop me is if I let it.
I talk about all my goals in this book.

For several years, author Gary Williams has walked his female yellow Labrador retriever, Guen, through the historic streets of St. Augustine, Florida, and posted their amusing--sometimes educational, mostly whimsical--conversations on social media. (Yes, dogs can talk. Just ask any dog owner.) For the first time, these daily exchanges between man and man's best friend have been captured in a book featuring the best of the Walking Guen posts. Follow along as Gary and Guen discuss such deep philosophical and socially relevant topics as the Village People, bubble wrap, Oz, ice cream, firemen, organ concerts, and the Death Star. Each conversation is accompanied by Gary's original grainy flip-phone camera photo of Guen as they weave their way through the streets.

So, sit back, relax, and follow along on these daily light-hearted discussions where beast often gets the better of man.
