Transformation of the city was the battle cry in the 1990s. How far have we come since then? How do apostles fit into the urban landscape? How do they line up with God's plans? C. Peter Wagner has been writing on these subjects for a number of years, and now he brings city transformation and the role of apostles together in one volume. This book is a call for apostles to assume their rightful sphere of authority to see God's will accomplished here on earth. Wagner relates his decades of experiences and those of others, showing the role of apostles not only in the traditional church, but also in the extended church. Apostles Today offers vision for the role of apostles in healthy churches, workplaces and cities.
The memoirs of an immigrant from Poland to the U. S., 1913-1919; enlistment in the Polish Army in France in World War I and the Polish-Soviet War. Translated from the Polish by Arthur A. Wagner, with supplementary historical material. Includes a facsimile of the original manuscript.
Subject Areas/Keywords: addictions, ambivalence, chronic health conditions, group psychotherapy, group therapy, intimate partner violence, MI, motivational interviewing, psychoeducational groups, resistance, sexual offenders, substance abuse, substance use disorders, support groups DESCRIPTION A unique clinical resource, this book shows how to infuse the methods and spirit of motivational interviewing (MI) into group-based interventions. The authors demonstrate how the four processes of MI with individuals translate into group contexts. They explain both the challenges and the unique benefits of MI groups, guiding practitioners to build the skills they need to lead psychoeducational, psychotherapeutic, and support groups successfully. A wealth of clinical examples are featured. Chapters by contributing authors present innovative group applications targeting specific problems: substance use disorders, dual diagnosis, chronic health conditions, weight management, adolescent risk behaviors, intimate partner violence, and sexual offending"--
The Battle of the Little Big Horn was the decisive engagement of the Great Sioux War of 1876-1877. In its second edition this biographical dictionary of all known participants--the 7th Cavalry, civilians and Indians--provides a brief description of the battle, as well as information on the various tribes, their customs and methods of fighting. Seven appendices cover the units soldiers were assigned to, uniforms and equipment of the cavalry, controversial listings of scouts and the number of Indians in the encampments, the location of camps on the way to the Big Horn and more. Updated biographies are provided for many European soldiers, along with an additional 5,060 names of Indians who were or could have been in the battle.
TItis book is the joint project of a philosopher, Lehrer, and a mathematician, Wagner. The book is, therefore, divided into a first part written by Lehrer, which is primarily philosophical, and a second part written by Wagner that is primarily formal. The authors were, however, influenced by each other throughout. Our book articulates a theory of rational consensus in science and society. The theory is applied to politics, ethics, science, and language. We begin our exposition with an elementary mathematical model of consensus developed by Lehrer in a series of articles [1976a, 1976b, 1977, 1978]. Chapter 3 contains material from [1978]. Lehrer formulated the elementary model when he was a Fellow of the Center for Advanced Study in the Be havioral Sciences, Stanford, in 1973 with the invaluable mathematical assist of Kit Fine, Gerald Kramer and Lionel McKenzie. In the summer of ance 1977, Lehrer and Wagner met at the Center in a Summer Seminar on Freedom and Causality supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Wagner read the manuscript of Lehrer [1978] and subsequently solved some mathematical problems of the elementary model. After discussions of philosophical prob lems associated with that model, Wagner developed the foundations for the extended model. These results were reported in Wagner [1978, 1981a].
Drawing on more than 22 years' research, this book presents an exhaustive chronology of the Great Sioux Campaign in three parts: the U.S. Seventh Cavalry's communications, decisions and movements October 15, 1875-June 21, 1876, are traced day-by-day; the three-day prelude to the Battle of Little Bighorn hour-by-hour; and the battle itself minute-by-minute. The separate actions of the several military commands and the Indians involved are narrated in coherent sequence. Archival intelligence summaries offer the reader fresh perspective on the events leading to the decisive Indian victory known as Custer's Last Stand.
Major Marcus Reno's actions at the Battle of Little Big Horn have been both criticized and lauded, often without in-depth analysis. This book takes a fresh look the battle and events leading up to it, offering answers to unanswered questions. The author examines the meanings of "orders" given in Custer's command and how they were treated, the tactics and fighting in the valley, Reno's alcoholism, and his last stand on the hilltop named for him.
The battle that unfolded at the Little Big Horn River on June 25, 1876, marked a watershed in the history of the Plains Indians. While a stunning victory for the Sioux and Cheyenne peoples, it initiated a new and vigorous effort by the U.S. government to rid the west of marauding tribes and to realize the ideal of "Manifest Destiny." While thousands of books and articles have covered different aspects of the battle, few if any have analyzed the tactics and chronology to arrive at a satisfactory explanation of what befell George Armstrong Custer and the 209 men who died alongside him. This volume seeks to explain the circumstances culminating in the near-destruction of the 7th Cavalry Regiment by a close examination of timing, setting every event to a specific moment based on accounts of the battle's participants.
By the end of World War I, Albert Einstein had become the face of the new science of theoretical physics and had made some powerful enemies. One of those enemies, Nobel Prize winner Philipp Lenard, spent a career trying to discredit him. Their story of conflict, pitting Germany’s most widely celebrated Jew against the Nazi scientist who was to become Hitler’s chief advisor on physics, had an impact far exceeding what the scientific community felt at the time. Indeed, their mutual antagonism affected the direction of science long after 1933, when Einstein took flight to America and changed the history of two nations. The Man Who Stalked Einstein details the tense relationship between Einstein and Lenard, their ideas and actions, during the eventful period between World War I and World War II.
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Informatik - Wirtschaftsinformatik, Note: 2,0, Universität Kassel (Wirtschaftsinformtik), Veranstaltung: Strategisches IT-Management, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In 2007 betrug der, durch den Einsatz Informationstechnik (IT), verursachte Ausstoß von Kohlenstoffdioxid (CO2), gemessen in CO2-äquivalentem (CO2e), mehr als 820 Millionen Tonnen. Dieser Ausstoß stellt ca. zwei Prozent des weltweiten CO2-Ausstoßes dar. Darüber hinaus war ein jährlicher Zuwachs bei benötigter Rechenleistung um ca. 60 Prozent und eine Zunahme der Internetnutzer um fünfzehn Prozent zu verzeichnen (Buhl & Laartz, 2008, S. 261). Für den Betrieb von Servern und Infrastruktur wurden in der Europäischen Union (EU), nach Schätzungen der Österreichischen Energieagentur, 40 Terrawattstunden im Wert von sechs Milliarden Euro verbraucht (Buhl & Laartz, 2008, S. 261). Die durchschnittlichen Betriebskosten eines klassischen Rechenzentrums werden zu ca. 80 Prozent von Kosten für elektrische Energie dominiert. Pauschalisiert kann man sagen, dass für ein Kilowatt (kW) Serverleistung ein weiteres kW für unterstützende Einrichtungen und Anlagegüter, wie z.B. Klimaanlagen, Beleuchtung oder die unterbrechungsfreie Stromversorgung (USV), aufgewendet werden müssen (PC Welt, 2008). Betrachtet man diese Werte, so kann man zu dem Schluss kommen, dass beträchtliche Einsparungspotentiale vorhanden sind, die zumindest zum Teil gehoben werden können. „Green IT“ bietet einen Ansatz diese Potentiale heben zu können. Buhl und Laartz definieren Green IT als Maßnahmen zur „[...]Senkung des Energieverbrauchs und somit der Energiekosten der IT selbst“ (Buhl & Laartz, 2008, S. 261) und betonen, dass die CO2-Emissionsredukton für die ökologische und ökonomische Bilanz nützlich ist und für Marketingzwecke verwendet werden kann (Buhl & Laartz, 2008, S. 261). PC Welt geht davon aus, dass ein energieeffizientes Rechenzentrum einen zusätzlichen Energieverbrauch von 0,5 kW je kW Serverleistung haben kann. Die Zeitschrift beziffert weitergehend die potentiellen Einsparungspotentiale je Server und Jahr mit 100 Euro. Diese Summe setzt sich aus der Prämisse von Kosten in Höhe von Zehn Cent, inklusive aller Steuern, einem Gebührentakt von 0,25kW und den oben genannten Verbrauchswerten zusammen (PC Welt, 2008). Greifbare Ergebnisse lieferten bisher IBM und die Berliner STRATO AG. So gelang es beispielsweise IBM in einem Rechenzentrum ca. 90 Prozent der benötigten Fläche und ca. 85 Prozent des Energieverbrauches einzusparen.

Wagner shares his "recollections of highlights and scenarios that occurred over the World War II years." Wagner brings readers the unique perspective of a young Southern gentleman facing the "awful stuffU" of war.
Political Paramours examines the lives of thirty women throughout history who influenced the world in an unconventional way—as mistresses to powerful men. Far more than mere arm candy, these women had a lasting impact on the political and social dynamics of their time and many remain famous—or infamous—to this day. The book discusses how they came to find themselves in such roles, how they influenced the actions of their “protectors,” and the ways in which they changed the lives, for better of worse, of their famous partners. Finally, by investigating the direct and indirect ways their relationships may have had an outcome on national or world events, the book reveals how these paramours made their mark on history.
Pure enlightenment." Mr. Wagner uses the spiritual realm as his canvas, the Masters hand as his brush. His words mimic the colors of the rainbow as he paints the reader into the world of God's love. "Beautiful."- Rev. Chris Miller"Wow! What a blessing. I found myself reading it over and over. A must read and a must share!"- Rosemarie Costa-Taylor"My wife and I found ourselves incapable of putting this book down; every chapter was and is a new revelation from the Lord. The imagery he writes with is so vivid and clear that we instantly feel we are in the Shekinah Glory. Nothing else like it."- Robert & Sarah Matasich"Walk with me.... Jeff came into my life as a young teen, with a strong feeling of respect for others, and a sense of humor that came through the twinkle in his eyes. I've been blessed in watching him grow into the man he has become, full of images, visual and literary and a true wordsmith. He has a rich creativity that he uses to share with us his experiences with Jesus. He shares his walks so we may be part of his life in Christ. The creation shared opens the world we too often miss. Allow yourself to walk through the joy, beauty and laughter he shares." - Rev. Sandra L. Lasher
