In My Hundred Guns, Jason Jones takes us on a highly personal journey through the world of firearms, concentrating on the classic era of military and civilian rifles, shotguns, and handguns. With his own rich collection as a touchstone (spoiler: it’s more like 150 guns), Jones explores the history and evolution of modern firearms, and the pleasures of owning, restoring, maintaining, and recreationally shooting them. Mauser, Lee-Enfield, Colt, Browning, Garand, Tokarev, Mannlicher, Schmidt-Rubin, Carcano, Savage, Glock, Kel-Tec … the major names and designs are touched on in this witty, well-informed, somewhat off-kilter pilgrimage. Jones also examines the guiding ideals of gun design and manufacture; the “Zen of firearms” and their maintenance; “gun guys & gals”; guns as pop-culture icons; and contemporary gun-control debates. Illustrated with over 100 images, My Hundred Guns features a wide range of resources, from books and quotes about firearms, to today’s online communities of gun aficionados. Links throughout take readers to online videos from “Lyudmila & Vasily’s Shooting Adventures,” wherein the author and his range companion, Sherry, shoot the classics for your viewing pleasure. My Hundred Guns is a unique, colorful, and entertaining account of the world of modern firearms, and one person’s (peaceful) obsession with them. Jason Jones is a writer, educator, and photographer based in western Canada.

From 2002 to 2008, the Bush administration argued that Iran was developing nuclear weapons, despite years of inconclusive International Atomic Energy Agency inspection reports. In the absence of substantive evidence, much of the debate was conducted via public forums with a heavy persuasive element to the discourse. This book offers an in-depth consideration of the rhetoric surrounding Irans controversial nuclear programme. It takes an interdisciplinary approach, examining speeches, interviews, news reports, online message boards and newspaper layouts during the Bush Presidency (2000-2008). Engaging with visual grammar and narrative, the book looks at layouts from the Associated Press, The New York Times and The Washington Post, amongst others. The book points out, using rhetorical theory and discourse analysis, the conditions that lent credibility to the Bush administrations position by examining the arguments Bush and his political surrogates put forward, and the discourse strategies that influenced which ideas gained salience and which were downplayed. Political communication and Foucaults theory of governmentality are brought in to articulate the implications regarding the influence, importance and expansion of executive power.

After the unexpected, accidental death of his three-year-old son, Jason Jones went on a long, painful journey to make sense of how God could have let this happen to his son and best friend, Jacob, and to their family. And he struggled intensely with his faith after everything he thought about God disintegrated on June 12, 2011. In Limping But Blessed, Jones explores struggling with faith and belief, dealing with his depression and grief, and searching for hope in a hopeless situation. The book includes tales of his darkest days, correspondence he had with Christian theologians, and what heÕs done to preserve his sonÕs legacy. At some point in each of our lives, something goes terribly wrong, and our faith is shaken to the core. This book is the story of one manÕs journey through the darkest time of life searching for answers and a grueling attempt to find a sliver of hope to keep holding on.Ê

This message is one of revelation, not one of judgmental demands. It is one that has been lost on the hearts of God''s church. Not in the sense of the "Christian Church" but in the broader sense of "God''s Church". God''s Church is the entire created world around us, every corner dark or lit. Everyone saved or unsaved, Jew or Gentile. This message of revelation is meant to be a benefit to all people seeking to be prosperous in their life, in love or fellowship. This is Christ''s message of example to His brother and sisters.

"It''s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo," says Samwise Gamgee. "Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn''t. They kept going, because they were holding on to something. That there is some good in this world, and it''s worth fighting for." Many have likened the past few years to a dystopian novel or a thriller movie due to unprecedented oppression, violence, loss of rights, and weaponization of science and technology at the hands of powerful people with dark intentions. It''s coming into ever-clearer focus that the unified, global pandemic response -- the forced lockdowns, vaccine and mask mandates, fear-filled media coverage, and restrictions on public worship -- stripped citizens of their civil liberties and transformed our society. Leaving no stone unturned, award-winning film producer and human rights activist Jason Jones incisively lays out a full-scale campaign against this "Great Reset" to help equip you with the armor to protect and defend yourself, your loved ones, and all those vulnerable to the antihuman designs of global elites who have demonstrated a propensity for trampling basic human rights to achieve their one-world vision. Jones exposes the stealth tactics of the Great Reset leaders and reveals what they really mean by their "build back better" and "you''ll own nothing and like it" slogans. Reflecting on historical precedents dating back to biblical times, Jones sounds a red alert and offers a plan for pushing back against the political, Church, and corporate apostasy still unfolding around us. The incessant fear-mongering and propagandizing by the radical reformers, Jones explains, is undermining the health of the nation and robbing young people of their ability to reason and experience authentic love. But we can reverse course, he argues, and the time to do so is now. In this prescient work, you will find examples of people -- past and present -- who heroically model ways to overcome the mightiest walls of resistance. You will learn: The five "ideologies of evil" that constitute a genuine pandemic (You will be shocked!) Three forgotten aspects of piety that need restoration How victimization has made victims of us all The secret to living the gospel and avoiding cooperating with evil Practical ways to strengthen families and communities through subsidiarity Why the right to private property is essential to preserving human dignity Through the lens of the Gospels and classical thinking, Jones challenges readers to reclaim reverence for life and prescribes the "emergency medicine" we need to apply to revive and renew our Church, our nation, and our world.

In this ground-breaking book, workplace psychologist and leadership expert Jason Jones shares science-based and field-tested techniques leaders can use to help their people thrive at work and in their personal lives.

"The Seven Sacred Teachings is a message of traditional values and hope for the future. The Teachings are universal to most First Nation peoples. These Teachings are seen in school communities from coast to coast across North America. They are a link that ties all Native, Inuit and Métis communities together."--book jacket.

Reputante is a rough, poetic account of the notable events in the life of Jason Jones, as well as the common occurrences happening between every sunrise and sunset. Jason hints at topics such drug overdose and recovery, lost love, and hope for a world gasping for air in the smothering of daily tragedy. However, Jason is not nearly as secretive about his distaste for roguish political practices, religious disobedience, and the breakdown of an ardent society. All of the poems in the collection were written in a four-year span, beginning in Jasonas sophomore year of high school and culminating in his freshman year of college. Jason was born in 1986 in Roanoke, Virginia, and he is currently still living in his hometown while attending Roanoke College. These poems are the map of a journey (often symbolic) through the meandering labyrinth that is the mind of a teenager.

The poems found in this book show true poetic expression when living in certain condition and different enviornments across our planet. Jason Jones poetry will expand into other genres of literature. Poetry has always been an enjoyable gift that I have love to use to help other people get through hard times or just make a great day even greater. I like to many other people write poetry , because it actually saved my life as a young adolescent after my parents passed way. Poetry was my personal gateway, away from unwanted generational pain. At one point in time I never had faith that I would live past the age of 25 yrs old. The world of poetry took me away from just ending up another dead kids in the streets like many other young minorities.My purpose for writing this book was to share with people from many different walks of life my world and visions through a pair of poetical glasses.

Merlin''s spell book grew grumpy thinking the young wizard wasn''t listening to him. "Eh hem, have you been listening, young Merlin? This is a very powerful and important spell? You may need to use it someday," the annoyed spell book sternly stated. "Yes, yes," Merlin said, now chasing Will Whitetail around the room. "Well then...would you care to repeat the last line?" the grumpy magical book asked. Merlin laughed when Will whispered something in his ear. "What did that white fuzz ball say?" the spell book asked. "He said you better be nice or he''ll leave bunny pellets on you when you''re sleeping," Merlin laughed. "Humph!" The book narrowed its eyes at them and waited for Merlin to repeat the last line he had read. "And the line please," the book said. "Take three dragon scales and call me in the morning," Will Whitetail joked. Merlin laughed. "I wasn''t talking to you...gerbil," the book angrily said then groaned in frustration.

This is a book designed to be a guideline for individuals who seek to improve their community through sustainable development. Unlike many other readings, here I state not only the issues and problems that people in low-income, underdeveloped, and undeserved communities face, but I also state the solutions. By creating an urban garden, it will serve multiple purposes and help resolve some of the social, economical, and environmental issues that have impacted these communities. If you follow the ideas in this book, you can use them to combat food deserts, food insecurity, and lack of healthy food access. Sustainable development is the way of the future, and Earth is our home. We must have the upmost respect for our planet and all life forms that share this space with us . Creating urban gardens will not only be beneficial to humans, but it will also be beneficial to the environment and other living species that depend on green spaces for living and thriving. My hope is that this book will encourage you to use direct action and uplift your community while at the same time gaining a new awareness about your relationship to the planet Itself.

..".We began with James Andellis and frigid Chazzrynn, my son, so that takes us to Harlaheim, in the year of 345. Ah yes, the kingdom of the crown and rose, treacherous old beauty. Very well, let me tell you more of Shinayne T''Sarrin then, for this is her story. Harlaheim was cold and wet from late winter rains. Enemies seemed to be all around, but not often found. The shadows were deep and long from the high rooftops of the decadent city at night, and the docks were not any more welcoming. Several times Lady Shinayne, as she was known back then, had encountered those stalking the scroll of Annar and her friends. And several times she and the horned gladiator, Saberrak, had taken them down in the mysterious streets of Harlaheim. The elven swordswoman was the deadliest blade in the capital, some say the kingdom at that time, perhaps even the continent, according to the elves..." Of dragons and crowns takes us to the tower of Kalzarius, where Shinayne, Gwenneth, Saberrak, James, and Zen are in hiding while the secrets of the Scroll of Annar unravel before them. The turbulent politics of the young monarchs, the church, and its divided knights will embroil around the heroes, driving them to famed Soujan Mountain. A charitable lord intervenes, new enemies hunt them with old prices upon their heads, courtesy of Johnas Valhera and the White Spider. Following behind their trail is none other than Kendari of Stillwood, yet even he is stalked as the journey heads north and beyond. An epic fantasy saga two decades in the making, The Last Pantheon introduces readers to a dark new realm of legendary heroes and forgotten myths. Of dragons and crowns is the second novel of eighteen in the series, and will be followed with the next installment, of ghosts and giants.

It has been suggested that prediction may be an organizing principle of the mind and/or the neocortex, with cognitive machinery specifically engineered to detect forward-looking temporal relationships, rather than merely associating temporally contiguous events. There is a remarkable absence of behavioral tests of this idea, however. To address this gap, subjects were shown sequences of shapes governed by stochastic Markov processes, and then asked to choose which shape reliably came after a probe shape (prediction test) or before it (retrodiction test). Prediction was never superior to retrodiction, even when subjects were forewarned of a forward-directional test. (Contains 4 figures and 3 tables.).
