Dad was a man who believed in the spirits and the Almighty Spirit above all. He challenged me throughout my life and believed in me by never doubting and accepting my spiritual capabilities as real when the weird events in my young life needed explaining. Dad permitted and encouraged me to read and explore the paranormal world to help me know that I wasn’t alone in my abilities. One of my greatest wishes is that my Dad still be with me on our human plane and be able to enjoy the excitement I now have with Bob and our paranormal undertakings. I also think Dad would be surprised by the new openness and curiosity of the general population toward accepting supernatural sciences, quite unlike his in era. I must also include my beloved cousin, Sonny (Carl) Hess, who loved to narrate his ghost experiences to his much younger cousins and even today, encourages my interests in the paranormal. (Sonny also allowed me to read his “FATE” magazines – also much to my Mother’s chagrin.) I would also like to thank one of my most trustworthy enthusiasts, Roberta Marshall, who has always been a sounding board for my personal stories and philosophies about the weird incidents which have surrounded me. Roberta, who we fondly call “BB”, is an individual who is extremely honest and uses her straightforwardness to appraise my paranormal events and evidence, and sometimes it’s not always what I want to hear. But most of all, this book is dedicated with love and adoration to my true soul mate, my remarkable husband, Robert Farrell. I see him as man of great dedication toward me because without his devotion and encouragement I would not have been able to retire earlier than most people do and at whose persistence I can now share with others some of my life experiences through my writing. Bob was willing to let me recount his assorted personal paranormal experiences in my manuscript and even now, enthusiastically assists me and my paranormal team, Paragon Paranormal – Shadow Chasers, in our many ghost-hunting and other paranormal explorations. 3 But, it must also be acknowledged, I just as optimistically support Bob during his exciting, sometimes all night, Big Foot expeditions! (I’m still wondering what he will do with a Sasquatch if he ever catches one!) Bob and I make a great team! 4 Foreword Greek philosopher Socrates is famous for his quote “The unexamined life is not worth living.” When he said it, this wise man was on trial for heresy because he encouraged his students and followers to challenge the accepted principles and beliefs of the time and to think freely. Because he had been found guilty of such heretical doctrine, Socrates was informed he must make a choice between solitary incarceration for the rest of his life as an exile to a prison island where he would live by himself with no one to teach or interact with, or select the ultimate seclusion of all living humans, death. The renowned theoretician’s decision was made with courage and gallantry; the Greek philosopher is now remembered as the casualty of ancient history’s most notorious cup of poison hemlock. I accept the challenge of Socrates. I have decided to examine my life, past and present, to determine if I am on a path that encourages and challenges my beliefs for the future. No one’s life is free from problems and strife and sometimes the answers to these situations come from unusual places and people. Socrates chose death as his path to a new challenge. Ironically, I’ve chosen the living world as my path to examine what lies between and beyond death. The challenges will be as they come, and I intend to confront them with modern science and the courage to accept changes if the path demands it. The world’s beliefs in the science of physics, motion, time and gravity is rapidly changing. Almost a century ago Albert Einstein presented his “Theory of Relativity” to the world and redefined time and space as dimensions which are flexible and yet woven together to create a four-dimensional fabric. Einstein’s “fabric” pervades the universe and is the basis for his premise that time and space is the source of gravity which is created when the fabric bends and warps around large objects, such as the sun, thus drawing smaller objects toward them, for example, the planets of our solar system. Einstein’s theory has its shortcomings because it doesn’t account for an expanding universe or the motions of galaxies. It also doesn’t explain some of the motions and behaviors of the sub-atomic world, called quantum mechanics or quantum physics. 5 Scientists today have started to rethink Einstein’s theory of time and space by dismissing the “fabric” and thus time, as a fundamental dimension. The rethinking of Einstein’s theories brings me back to the paranormal sciences; there are those individuals who believe and those who disbelieve, and the difference is based mainly on their comprehension within their learned limitations of human existence and their level of understanding of our world of math, physics and biology. We use our five senses to examine our universe and our brains force us to comprehend within the boundaries of those measurable senses, because without them, the world would not have a perception of stability. Even our most sophisticated computers and machines are within the boundaries of the human brain’s grasp of reality because we, as biological entities, are the programmers. Most humans struggle with themselves asking at what point and with what proof the unfathomable, in this case the paranormal, will be accepted by them without a need for a justification or explanation. Some people never find the point or the proof for personal acceptance of such occurrences. Currently, Einstein’s theories are being unraveled because some of the most gifted of our scientists are not satisfied with his theories analysis. There are many well known scientists pursuing with challenging research, reasonable justifications of Einstein’s old theories and how they affect our universe. There are just as many of us who are not well known also seeking answers to the mysteries of the so named paranormal sciences. So I ask – Do the failures of our most elite quantum physicists and theorists to confirm without a doubt the nature of their sciences now make the subject matter of Einstein’s theories and quantum mechanics both “paranormal sciences” because their field of study “cannot be proven”? Even Einstein had doubts about his work. Sir Charles Darwin is not to be left out of the conversation when asserting a commentary concerning the paranormal viewpoint of life and most notably the “soul”. The soul, according to my old Oxford Dictionary, is described as “The immaterial essence, animating principle, or actuating cause of an individual life”. The best way to state my conviction in an immortal soul is best explained through the non-scientific side of me as an article of my Christian faith in an Almighty Creator. 6 Personally, I prefer to consider my soul as the “breath of God” as contained in all humans, or, as a life-force beyond mortal existence. Darwin’s Theory of Evolution distances man from God by declaring humans are just more evolutionarily advanced hairless apes. The paranormal consideration in this case is the need to explain the human soul and its existence outside the living body; uncontained human or inhuman souls are considered to be ghosts or spirit apparitions in paranormal nomenclature. So, I ask, can this fundamental ingredient of life be seen or photographed, and does it have actual mass that can be measured in some way? And, is it possible for the soul to exist outside the biological body? Duncan McDougal, from 1901 through 1907, investigated the possibility that the human soul was measurable by human methods. Wanting to understand more about what happens after we die, he sought to determine if the soul continued to exist as a separate entity or personality after the demise of the brain and body. After six years of study and facing many obstacles including a lack of proper equipment and dying humans willing to be his subjects, McDougal published his analysis in which he declared the human soul was measurable, it had mass, and weighed approximately 21 grams.

  • The Rev. Donald E. Wildmon's Crusade for Censorship, 1977-1989
    The Rev. Donald E. wildmon's Crusade for Censorship, 1977-1989 By Christopher M. Finan "What we are up against is not dirty words and 4irty pictures. It is a phi.losophy of life which seeks to remove the influence of Christians and Christianity from our society. Pornography is not the disease, but merely a visible symptom. It springs from a moral cancer in our society, and it will lead us to destruction if we are unable to stop it." ---The Rev. Donald E. Wildman The Rev. Donald E. Wildmon has always claimed to be an "average guy." When he first came to the attention of the public, he was the leader of a boycott against advertisers who sponsored "sex, violence and profanity" on television. Wildmon insisted that he was not a censor but an outraged private citizen who was exercising his constitutional right to protest. But, Wildmon is not an average citizen. His ambition is to remake American society. Nor is he content with the instruments of change provided by democratic institutions: he advocates the censorship of television, movies, books, and magazines. During his 12-year campaign for censorship, he has tried to suppress: * Television series like "charlie's Angels," "Three's Company," "All in the Family," "Laverne and Shirley," "Love, Sidney," "Taxi, II "WKRP in Cincinnati, II "Hill Street Blues," "Moonlighting," "L.A. Law," "thirtysomethinq;" * Television dramas like "Roe v. Wade," Pete Hamillis "Flesh and Blood," Maya Angelouls "Sister, Sister" and "Portrait of a Rebel: Margaret Sanger;1I * Movies like liThe Last Temptation of Christi" * Magazines like Playboy, Penthouse and Sassy.

  • Self-Eluders, Shadow Chasers and Lotus-Eaters: the White Man in the Pacific Islands
    Self-Eluders, Shadow Chasers and Lotus-Eaters: the White Man in the Pacific Islands Paul Strona I was—like thousands of others before me, thousands of years ago, as well as now, at this present time, and will be for thousands of years to come, if the world stands long enough— trying to run away from myself or chasing shadows,—these latter, of course, I did not catch, and the former fear I did not realize. — William Diaper, Cannibal Jack, 1928 Nearly everyone in the world knows that the Pacific islands, particularly those of the South Pacific, are the most idyllic places on the face of the earth. Those islands typically have verdant mountains that tower into the blue sky, with perhaps a bit of misty cloud around the peaks. The coastal areas are lush with palm trees and thick groves of every imagin- able type of exotic tropical truit which end only at the edge of the white sand beaches which encircle all of these islands. The lagoons are filled with an abundance of brightly-colored, strange, but delicious, fish. And, of course, beyond the reef is the vast Pacific Ocean that separates us from all of the worldly problems that plague us in our present environment. But even more wonderful are the child-like natives who populate the islands. Not only are they God's most perfectly formed creatures but they are serene in disposition and universally receptive to the whims of Paul Strona, a program budget analyst with the State of Hawaii, holds the MA in Pacific Islands Studies from the University of Hawaii.

Nichols Professor of Communications Associate Dean for Graduates Studies and Research *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ABSTRACT Competition and diversity are touchstones in media policy, but the relationship between them is not clear despite a great number of studies because even studies dealing with their relationship, did not measure the intensity of competition. This paper investigates the relationship between market competition and program type diversity in the over-the-air television industry. Specifically, market competition is divided into intra-network competition and intra-media competition, i.e. terrestrial television vs. cable TV. Also this paper uses a comprehensive model of program types, with 281 program type categories, which have never been used in previous studies. The results show that program type diversity keeps decreasing over time and intra-network competition has a negative effect on program type diversity. Also, intra- network competition is a more important factor on program type diversity than inter- media competition.
