New York, anno 2193: una notizia improvvisa e drammatica scuote i Cavalieri del Dipartimento per la Protezione delle Etnie e dei Gruppi Umani: gli italiani - o meglio, gli italioti - sono in via d'estinzione! L'unica possibilità per impedirne la scomparsa è contenuta in un libro scritto sul finire del XX secolo: "Bassica". A Carlo Mazzi, Cavaliere di origine italiota, il Segretario Generale affida il compito di leggerlo e di prepararsi a una delicata missione nella sua terra di origine. Ma i fatti prenderanno una piega diversa.

She's a force of Nature. Literally. And now someone is trying to use her. On the surface she's a cute and feisty blonde, a slender pocket rocket fitness coach. But Cassiopeia Lake has a secret; she's really a force of nature - an elemental.Water sprite, Cassie, has lived undisturbed in her native Scottish loch for eons. Now, one encounter too many with modern plumbing has driven her to live in human guise along with her selkie boyfriend, Euan. It's all going fine - until a nerdy magician captures Cassie to be an unwilling component in his crazy dangerous experiment.Escape is only Cassie's first challenge.She's smitten by her fellow prisoner, the scorching hot fire elemental, Gloria. But how do you love someone you can never touch? And what do you do when your boyfriend starts to hero-worship your persecutor? Not to mention that tricky situation of being the prize in a power contest between two rival covens of witches.So, when Gloria's temper erupts and she sets out to murder the magician, can Cassie keep her loved ones safe from the cross-fire, or will she be sucked into the maelstrom of deadly desires and sink without trace?A unique Eco-Urban FantasyWhat readers are saying about DESPRITE MEASURES " Desprite Measures by Deborah Jay is, on the surface, page-turning, light-hearted urban fantasy set in and around Inverness, in Scotland. But like nearby Loch Ness, which looms in the shadowy corners of the tale, the surface of the lake doesn't always show the depths." "This is a great fun adventure set in modern Scotland where a sexy water sprite finds herself in danger of becoming a weapon of mass destruction in the hands of a mad, bad wizard. Much mayhem, weird magic and spirited sex ensues." "Much like a taster menu, delicious and tantalising with increasing subtlety and spice leaving me breathless to get to the next experience."

Imagine how much more fulfilling it would be, if you could experience an entire lifetime free from even the slightest fear associated with your eventual death.What if you could finally know that though the physical body will surely fail, nothing can affect the eternal, immortal, ever-lasting being that you are in your purest form?Suppose that reading one book could answer the most mysterious questions about what happens when you are dying and what happens to your consciousness once that takes place.You are about to read that book.In reality, there is no death at all. It is an end to your most recent journey - an exploration into temporary physicality, but it is not the only journey you will take - and will certainly not be the last.Death of the physical body is certain. It is time that you know what awaits you when that happens.No one in the history of the earth has ever 'died.'They have simply changed form.

Kevin Morrison had it all. A house he worked hard for, a loving wife, and three beautiful children. But it wasn't until his marriage ended that he realized what the void he'd felt almost all his life meant. Coming out as a gay man at thirty-six is not an easy feat, but he is determined to be true to his heart. Meeting a man who shares his values, and is good with his children would be a bonus, but when the guy arrives in a uniquely wrapped package, and has very specific handling instructions, Kevin needs to decide if he's up for that kind of love. Obsessed with order and symmetry, and a paralyzing fear of germs, Cedric Haughton-Disley has lived with isolation and loneliness as long as he can remember. Desperate to be normal, he makes some much-needed changes in his life. If he can commit to his treatment, he might very well be able to procure some quality of life... even if that's all he can get, as finding love and having a relationship are only possible in Cedric's wildest dreams. But when a chance encounter leaves Cedric wishing for more, he decides to take a leap of faith, and pursue the guy he wants.Together the two men make an unlikely match. Cedric needs organization, and Kevin represents chaos. In order to stay together they both need to compromise, but will they be able to deal with Cedric's issues and the potential disaster, or let it break them apart?

Computer Science Design Series Programming with MFC & Visual C++ Prerequisite: Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 or equivalent. Recommended especially if you are new to MFC: Jeff Prosise "Programming Windows with MFC" (1337 pages, ISBN 1572 316 950) This text is about how to use Windows Microsoft Foundation Classes (the MFC) and the software program Visual C++ to write programs using windows without knowing how to write the complex code that produces the windows. The MFC/Visual C++ combination immensely simplifies the writing of any program that uses one or more windows. Second, this is about learning how program with MFC from the bottom up so that you can produce the projects presented here. Many MFC classes and functions replace/obsolete many C, C++, and C# classes and functions. Consequently you can go directly to MFC, and save a lot of time and energy. Programming with MFC allows you to work at the top of the C hierarchy, while avoiding the limitations of C, C++, and C#. This text BEGINS to show you how to program with MFC by using Visual C++ to produce skeleton programs on the Visual C++ screen. Skeletons that include code producing the windows in which your programs will be presented. For example, creating front panels using dialog boxes in which you place controls (push button, combo box, slider, text box, etc.) in precise positions and how to initialize/program the controls. We say begin, because learning how to program in any language is an endless task. Especially MFC with its hundreds of functions. At this point we believe it is very important that you view the table of contents to know what we have chosen to present from the thousands of possibilities. We believe our choices represent the basic know-how one needs to get going with MFC. There is an unavoidable "cook book" element to using Visual C++ that dictates how to create the skeletons, and where to enter code in the skeletons. This text is different. Instead of referring you to code on a disk (with few if any comments), and instead of offering partial explanations in the text, requiring you have to go back and forth from book to disk, and wondering what to do next, we show you how code is written that actually creates programs that run on any computer using the windows operating system. That is why only the Visual C++ disk is required. We briefly explain most of the code lines used to produce the functions required by the projects. We expect the reader to have a basic programming capability. This text uses the Jeff Prosise text "Programming Windows with MFC", as a very useful reference.With Jeff Prosise's text supporting us we were able to write programs using windows, while knowing nothing about windows programming and very little about MFC and the various C languages. JP's text gave us a great start with the design process producing programs presented in one or more windows. That experience brings us to this point. We wrote this text, because even with the JP reference we learned that we had to answer many "How-do-we-do-that?" questions. Answers we needed in order to produce programs that run. Answers we share with you by presenting selected topics in the form of working projects. Many types of programs can be implemented with MFC. We focus on dot exe (name.exe) executing programs. JP's text makes very clear the fact that there is much, much more to MFC then what is presented here.

"Dear God in heaven, thank you!" Adam's relief however was short-lived, for when he glanced over at Janet, who was still searching through the ruins for Michelle's body, he froze in terror. "Dear God, Janet, look behind you!" he yelled. She turned, and let out a piercing scream as she stared at a heap of rubbish that had started to shudder and crumble as something bubbled out from within. It was as if the earth itself had opened up and the huge mound seemed to explode, as bits of scum and liquid bubbled down the sides of it like brown feces oozing from an open sewer. From the foul-smelling decay rose a mammoth insecta. Hideously beautiful, in its full genetic completion, it was the alpha queen, ten feet in length; the ghastly creature crawled out of the rubbish and sprang into flight! Terrifying and obscene, its hairy legs bent and clinging with feces, a huge egg sac hanging from its abdomen, it hovered above Janet, its twin heads and proboscis, throbbing, and poised to drain Janet of her blood. Horror-stricken, she fell to her knees! "Oh my God," she thought. "I'm going to die! I'm going to die!"

This text is about solving various types of equations using practical mathematical methods. Only the essentials of each topic are discussed. This is not about proving theorems, taking limits, or other matters important to mathematicians. "However, the emphasis should be somewhat more on how to do the mathematics quickly and easily, and what formulas are true, rather than the mathematicians' interest in methods of rigorous proof." Richard Feynman Concepts from Linear Algebra - the determinant, the finite matrix, the eigenvalue - are presented without the distractions of mathematical rigor. You learn solution methods that do not involve guesses. Methods you implement in a straightforward manner. The operational calculus can be traced back to Oliver Heaviside. Though many scientists preceded Heaviside in introducing operational methods, the systematic use of operational methods in physical problems was stimulated only by Heaviside's work. The methods he created are undoubtedly among the most important ever created. Heaviside was criticized for his lack of mathematical rigor. Yet his numerous mathematical and physical methods and results proved to be correct when mathematical rigor was incorporated. The Laplace Transform, a basis for a modern day operational calculus, is a straightforward technique for solving ordinary, partial differential, and, with a few complications, difference equations and a type of integral equation. On the other hand the Z transform solves difference equations without complications. And, Heaviside's differential operator D = d/dt augments the transform methods. The Laplace Transform transforms equations in one real variable domain, usually the time t domain, to a complex variable domain where the problem at hand is essentially solved. The inverse transform from the complex variable domain to the real variable domain completes the solution. Understanding the inverse transform requires knowledge of the theory of functions of complex variables. Our main interest in functions of a complex variable is integration, because integration of the complicated integrals of inverse transforms is amazingly simplified. The methods of the differential and integral calculus are extended to complex numbers and functions of complex variables. The results produce tremendous analytic methods. We show how ordinary differential equations. systems of ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, and difference equations are readily solved by transform and/or differential operational methods. We show that each type of equation is solved in essentially the same way. We just define the Fourier Series, and show how to create Fourier series representing waveforms. Integral Equations - This is a hugh subject, which we limit to how the Laplace transform solves integral equations that include the convolution integral. Galois Finite Fields GF(2m) are not used to solve equations per se. They are used to implement functions such as error correcting codes, speech recognition, phase array antennas, and Doppler radar. Functions NOT implemented here.

"When the Bough Deceived: Mundus Vult Decipi Ergo Decipiatur" is a captivating exploration that ventures beyond the familiar contours of religious narratives. In Part 1, "The Divine Tapestry," the intricate story of Jesus unfolds in a new light, interwoven with the ancient goddess Hecate. Readers are invited to reimagine the narrative, discovering how a shift in divine elements can offer alternative perspectives on outcomes. Armed with faith and an openness to uncharted possibilities, this section delves into the nuanced interplay between faith, interpretation, and the ever-shifting contours of belief. In Part 2, "Unveiling Manipulations," exposes the intricate web of how the traditional story of Jesus has been manipulated throughout history. Leaders, claiming benevolence, have wielded religious narratives as tools for control, revealing a stark truth behind purported moral compasses. As readers navigate this critical analysis, the deceptive threads that entwine religious narratives with power are unveiled, prompting reflection on the implications of such manipulations for the collective human journey. In Part 3, "A Different Lens," the exploration takes a shift, scrutinizing the absence of traditional religious frameworks. Across five chapters, the journey traces the roots and evolution of atheism in "Unveiling the Absence," delves into the realms of science, scrutinizes the boundaries of empirical proof, and navigates metaphysical landscapes. The culmination in "Beyond Belief" beckons readers to traverse uncharted territories, fostering a deepened understanding of existence beyond conventional narratives, challenging perceptions, and inviting contemplation on the multifaceted nature of belief and non-belief. "When the Bough Deceived" invites readers on a thought-provoking odyssey, challenging preconceptions and encouraging contemplation on the diverse tapestry that encompasses the human experience.

Perfect for the coffee table or as a gift for a friend. Each page has a beautiful wildlife photo and a verse from the 119th Psalm."How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to your word.""Great peace have those who love your law, and nothing causes them to stumble.""My life is continually in my hand, yet I do not forget your law.""Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.""Salvation is far from the wicked, for they do not seek your statutes.""This is my comfort in my affliction, for your word has given me hope.""I rejoice at your word, as one who finds great treasure."

Help your students explore the symbols of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Paganism and Humanism. You will find 68 printable pages to help your students learn about the most popular religious symbols of the world. Students use a phone, tablet or laptop to search online about each symbol and its history, what this image symbolizes, interesting facts about this symbol and its religion, and wise words or quotes from its worshippers. Students are encouraged to consider why people find peace and happiness in a particular religion, and to think about how we know that a specific religion is right for us. Students compare and contrast the different symbols within one faith and across different faiths. Why do Christians use the cross, the fish (ichthus), praying hands, and NOTW? Why do Muslims use a crescent and a star? Why do Buddhists use a wheel? Why do Taoists use the yin and yang? Why do Pagans use a pentacle? why do Humanists use the Happy Human? Help your students learn more about the religions of the world, while encouraging respect and appreciation for the diversity of spiritual quests across the planet. Note: this workbook does not present one religious experience as better than or worse than another. All questions require investigation and thought, and student responses are based on where their research leads them. It is good for students to learn that some religions focus on human experiences while others focus on the divine, and that some religions affirm only one divine being while others adopt many or none, and that some religious expressions focus on inward development while others focus on the outward performance of kind acts. As a teacher, your duty is to open the eyes of your students to the world and its diversity so that they can make an informed choice. Don't be afraid to explore. Remind students that their choice is always THEIRS, and that your duty is to expose them to what other cultures do and say and think.
