The purpose of this prayer manual is to serve as an equipping tool for believers. It is my desire to be a resource for the Body of Christ to help upgrade the believer to pray more effectively and get results! Our Heavenly Father's desire is that His church would be a house of prayer for all nations. (Mark 11:17) "And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? But ye have made it a den of thieves."

A collection of childhood poetry evoking growing up in the South.

Like locked-room murder mysteries? Stories about impossible-to-solve crimes? Detectives who are out of the norm? The Detectives is a novella and several short stories about just such puzzles and the detectives who solve them. Set in various locations in the South and Southwest, all six start with the puzzle of how a murder happened, but quickly move on to the puzzle of the detectives themselves and how they deal with the crime. How do normal people suddenly deal with seemingly unsolvable puzzles? And how does that change them? The novella is about an ex-basketball player female agent with the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation who is assigned to assist a small beach town where a body is found in a locked-from-the-inside "hurricane-proof house" just off the beach. How it was done is quickly solved, but who did it when most people had no reason or opportunity to kill the guy is much more of a problem. Other stories involve a rookie detective in Virginia facing the case of a young college teacher who dies sitting alone on the end of a small fishing pier in plain sight of witnesses on the shore, and a Hispanic female chief detective in Yuma, Arizona, taking over the case of a young man shot and stabbed inside an empty locked jail cell inside an empty prison from the 1800s. This is followed by a police captain with a "Dolly Parton" figure dealing with two orphan college women found nude with a claymore thrust through their bodies inside a locked University of Arizona Baptist Student Union building, and a medically retired detective asked to help solve the case of an elderly college professor repeatedly stabbed inside her own locked apartment in faculty housing in the mountains of Kentucky. The final story concerns an ex-football lineman turned amateur detective in Atlanta and a young accountant who disappears from her own locked apartment several stories above the street. In each case, the detectives must draw on their own lives and experiences to figure out what really happened and why. In these cases, it is the people who are the real puzzle, not the crime.

Who decides what music defines a generation or which war gets funded? Who determines high fashion? Who gets to choose which dusty African village thrives and which suffers famine and genocide? For centuries, the world's wealthiest have sent their children to an elite boarding school known as The Academy to ensure continued control over global events. This year, The Academy offered its first scholarship to Peter Foster, a 17 year old from the blue-collar town nearby. Before Peter can get his bearings in this world of unimaginable wealth, sexual gamesmanship and obscene entitlement, he uncovers information about the mysterious and violent disappearance of a recent student -- information everyone, even the teachers, is desperate to cover up. As the forces of Light and Dark continue their age-old dance of influence and manipulation, The Academy students fight to run their parents' empires, and to consolidate wealth and influence at any cost. Peter soon realizes he is up against forces that operate far outside his reality, and he'll have to risk everything, even his life, to expose the truth ... even if his discoveries upend the fragile balance of global power.

Gradient methods or methods of steepest descent in control-space have been found to be quite useful for the numerical solution of a large class of problems in optimal control. However, there is a large class of problems for which these methods have not been successful. To deal with this larger class of problems, a generalized gradient method is proposed. The convergence rate of this method is analyzed for a certain class of problems and the analysis is verified numerically. The analysis is then used to suggest improvements in the basic algorithm.
