In Between $53.39 Hauptbeschreibung Thanks to the recent return to religion, the holy has become a relevant issue in public debate, as is suggested by concepts such as re-sacralization and re-enchantment. Holy war and religiously motivated terrorist attacks, the fascination in popular culture for subjects such as the Holy Grail (as in Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code), new spiritual longings both within and outside institutional religion – all testify to the new religious climate. This situation calls for a reassessment of both classical and new theories about the holy. Espen Dahl offers a theoretical account of the holy. Central to its approach is the idea that the holy cannot be reduced to one stable essence, but is fundamentally composite and takes place in between. This means that the typical modern dichotomies between the holy and the profane, the pure and the impure, the pious and the violent, cannot be drawn as sharply as scholars once did. Instead, the manifestation of the holy takes place in the interstice between those spheres. Such a position is not strong – it attests to the weakness of the holy. Through a critical dialogue with the most influential recent contributions, various theories and responses to them are presented on the basis of the book’s overall perspective. Espen Dahl deals with various theoretical perspectives, corresponding to the numerous dimensions of the holy. Phenomenology plays the principal role, because it offers the best means to preserve the experiential dimensions which are essential to the holy. From this perspective, the book discusses theories from religious science, theology, philosophy, and psychology. |

Between War and Peace $23.63 An emperor bows abjectly before his conquerors on the deck of a battleship. As smoke yet rises from a bloody battlefield, a dejected general proffers his sword to his victorious opponent. Frock-coated ministers exchange red leather–bound treaty books in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles. These are iconic images of war’s end, but even when they are historically accurate, they conceal more than they convey. Not all wars end decisively. Indeed, the endings of most wars are messy, complicated, inconclusive, and deeply intriguing. As the United States attempts to extricate itself from two long and costly wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, nothing could be more relevant than a look back at the ways America has ended its major conflicts in the past. It is a topic that has been curiously overlooked. Edited and with an introduction by Col. Matthew Moten, a professor of history at West Point, Between War and Peace explores the endings of fourteen American wars, from the Revolution to the first Gulf War. Here, with incisive insight, narrative flourish, and strategic detail, some of America’s leading historians examine the progress of America’s wars: their initial aims—often quite different from their ends—their predominant strategies, their final campaigns, the painful journeys out of war, and the ramifications of the wars’ ends for the nation’s future. This timely and important book confronts one of the most pressing issues of our time: how do we end conflict and how do we deal with the country we are leaving behind? As recent history has shown, an “exit strategy,” though it’s sometimes neglected, can be as important a piece of military strategy as any. Taken together, these essays break new historical and theoretical ground, building on our current understanding of America’s history in ways that few studies have done before. A formidable enterprise of historical collaboration, Between War and Peace takes readers inside the climactic moments of America’s wars, offering a penetrating look at the past in hopes of illuminating future debates that will determine the nation’s course between war and peace. |

Is The Department Of Justice Winning The War Or The Battle Of The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act Of 2006
Many in the internet gaming industry were falsely made to believe that the The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 was all bark and no bite. Since then the department of justice has started to take a bite out of the industry. It all started with the seizure of Ewalletexpress, then the seizures of banks in New York and Washington State followed by seizures of Citadel Commerce and GlobalATM. Now the internet gaming industry is concerned the department of justice is serious about enforcing the Gambling act.
In November 2010, Ewalletexpress had their funds and accounts seized by the United States Government as part of a confidential investigation. They said that currently they have started negotiating with the government about getting their funds back. Right now eWalletXpress is still unable to access these funds or return them to the players because the money is still not in their custody or control. This means a lot of Internet players and online gambling sites have had their money tied up for over six months with no end in sight. Internet players are furious with both the Department Of Justice and Ewalletexpress.
The seizures of the bank's in New York and Washington State are a bit of a different story. In Washington State an $8 Million Poker Fund was Seized. A number of payment processors involved, including Arrow Checks, Secure Money, Etegrity Processing, Anaya Trading Solutions and Blue Lake Capital Management. They were found to be in violation of the Federal Wire Act of 1961 because online gambling is outlawed in the state of Washington. This varies greatly from other seizures because it was not a result of the The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. Same thing in New York, Allied Systems and Account Services found their assets seized also. Their owner was lucky enough to work out a settlement for just under half the seized funds and then left the country. Again where does this leave the online players and their money. Out of luck is the answer.
Next are the seizures of Citadel Commerce and GlobalATM. Citadel Commerce had their funds seized back in 2007 by the Department Of Justice. It unclear what exactly has happened in this case and if the online players ever received their money back. Recently, GlobalATM or ECHECK, an online payment processor, is now offline and is unable to be contacted. Its a mystery what exactly happened if the Department Of Justice seized them or they just closed their doors. Either way many online gamblers received checks that bounced and had to find other ways to get their funds if they could get them at all.
You're able to see from above that the department of justice is starting to win many battles and possibly the war of The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. The gambling industry does not realize the war has begun and this is why their losing so many battles. Internet US Casino Sites and US Poker players could be challenged to find fund processors very soon.
