Fact Or Fiction Present Or Future

To describe how I came up with the name of this book, Fact or Fiction, Present or Future, truly lies with how one of my dreams first came to me on the night of May 21, 2019, how this dream put me in an area that I've never been to before with people I've never met. Could this happen to me in the future? I don't know.Then I included the five dreams that followed that had some time-lapse that led up to my dream on January 1, 2021. While President Trump was in office, he did meet with religious people with Vice President Pence, just not at this particular place or with the same religious people at the same time. Could it happen in the future? I don't know.The fact of the COVID-19 affecting and killing thousands of people around the world and here in the United States is true, but with losing the president and vice president within three days of each other to the pandemic is not known at this time. (Note: I didn't identify who the president and vice president were as this was not revealed in my dream.)The fact that President Trump fought tooth and nail to stay in office in 2020, but he did leave with bags packed when he lost the election to Joe Biden, I found this dream to be more entertaining and humorous in nature, including saving the teddy bear. Now could this still happen in the future? I don't know.Not sure how many or if any naval ships President Trump boarded while he was in office, but most recently he took a tour of an aircraft carrier. Will he take over one as commander in chief? Time will tell.I tried to write this as events that will or did occur in real-life circumstances, added names to some of the caricatures, and tried to depict each dream almost in a story format but not to take away from these original dreams how they did happen in my subconscious.I've had other dreams in between and even after this period of time that I have not yet determined to include in this saga.

Since its inception, the European Union has developed to become an open and transparent system which is democratically accountable to more than five hundred million European citizens. James Elles explains how the EU functions, emphasizing the emerging role of the European Parliament in the process. Elles reviews the history of Britain’s relationship with the EU and illustrates how a reluctance to consult the British people on multiple Treaty changes led to a lack of understanding about Brussels. Looking to the future, Elles assesses the global long-term trends that lie ahead to 2030 and underlines that closer European cooperation, for example on environmental and digital policies, will help them to be more easily resolved. As the next decade unfurls, the EU with President Macron at the forefront of the debate will progress and the European Parliament will continue to develop as a platform for the voice of the European people. From the disinterest of political leaders to the ambitions of emerging nations, Fiction, Fact and Future is not only a guide to why Britain failed to make the most of its EU membership, but also an optimistic message to a younger generation to help shape their future in the 21st century.

This book is the first of a two-volume work with the overall title "Future Hope and Present Reality . These volumes had their origin in the Speaker s Lectures that Andrew Chester gave in Oxford; their main focus is central themes in biblical eschatology, and especially the apparent contradictions between what is hoped for in the future and what is experienced in the present: the stark discrepancy, that is, between the world as it is and the world as it should be. In this first volume, as the subtitle "Eschatology and Transformation in the Hebrew Bible indicates, the author is concerned with the Hebrew Bible (or Old Testament; the second will be on the New Testament). He deals, successively, with central eschatological themes and the deep tensions they involve: divine threats of an absolute end (to human life and to the world itself), and divine promises of blessing and transformation, along with the theological questions inevitably raised by these - both in themselves and in relation to each other; the whole phenomenon of prophecy, and the problems it involves - not least, whether it can be taken seriously, in face of the contradictions and failures it manifests. He discusses the sheer discrepancy between ideal and reality in traditions relating to kingship, along with the tensions inherent in the emergence of messianic hope; death, as representing the end of any relationship with God, along with hope that goes beyond death - in relation both to the individual and also the nation; and, finally, visions of a transformed and paradisal world, and whether these can bear any relation to reality. It is argued that the Hebrew Bible can be seen to offer genuine grounds for hope, but that these can have any cogency only if the problems involved are really engaged with."

Introduction -- The truth of narration and the powers of the false -- Accepting complicated legacies by being once removed from the world : Everything is illuminated (Foer 2002) -- "He looked for truth in facts and not in stories" : crimes of historiography and forces of fabulation in Richard Flanagan's Gould's book of fish (2003) -- Making time, undoing race: Richard Powers' The time of our singing (2003) -- Conclusion.

This two-volume work contains over 140 papers which, together, reflect the current status of zeolite science and technology encompassing high and low silica zeolites, pillared clays, molecular sieves, microporous metallosilicates, crystalline silica polymorphs, crystalline microporous aluminophosphates and their isomorphically substituted forms. The five plenary invited lectures summarize current knowledge and address a number of topical areas such as the enumeration of theoretically possible frameworks, the use of sophisticated physical methods to unravel and characterise new molecular sieve materials, the potential of molecular sieves as catalysts for chemical intermediate and commodity synthesis and conversion, the role of zeolites in fluid catalytic cracking, and new zeolitic materials. Specific aspects of zeolite science are highlighted in the ten keynote lectures of which three are on synthesis and modification, one on new materials, one on characterization, two on structure and theory, one on metals in zeolites, and two on catalytic topics. All the contributions in this book reflect the high quality of research being carried out throughout the zeolite community.
