A short book-guide to fast and easy losing weight in a few simple steps. The program was made by a nutritionist and natural medicine doctor, who proved that one can lose as much as weight as needed in just a few weeks, without much effort and starving diets. All one needs to do is stop consuming food lacking nutrients and make just a couple of simple changes in daily routine and eating habits, without the need to change the whole diet and almost without any food restrictions. "There is nothing hard or too complicated here, nothing that one does not already know. You can eat any food and do all things you already do, but only in a bit different manner."
The Balkans have often been a flashpoint of conflict in European history. The recent civil war has torn the country apart and the region faces an uncertain future. This authoritative study provides an account of the history of the whole area from the first major nationalist rising against its Ottoman rulers in 1804 to the aftermath of World War II. Covering the former Yugoslavia, Albania, Greece, Bulgaria and Romania , it provides a Balkan-wide overview as well as histories of specific states and sets the context to the recent conflict.
This vital new resource offers engineers and researchers a window on important new technology that will supersede the barcode and is destined to change the face of logistics and product data handling. In the last two decades, radio-frequency identification has grown fast, with accelerated take-up of RFID into the mainstream through its adoption by key users such as Wal-Mart, K-Mart and the US Department of Defense. RFID has many potential applications due to its flexibility, capability to operate out of line of sight, and its high data-carrying capacity. Yet despite optimistic projections of a market worth $25 billion by 2018, potential users are concerned about costs and investment returns. Clearly demonstrating the need for a fully printable chipless RFID tag as well as a powerful and efficient reader to assimilate the tag’s data, this book moves on to describe both. Introducing the general concepts in the field including technical data, it then describes how a chipless RFID tag can be made using a planar disc-loaded monopole antenna and an asymmetrical coupled spiral multi-resonator. The tag encodes data via the “spectral signature” technique and is now in its third-generation version with an ultra-wide band (UWB) reader operating at between 5 and 10.7GHz.

Seven years ago Andrew Wesman, a retired Navy SEAL and widower, was looking forward to a relaxing day off-roading in the mountains. He got a bit farther off road than he intended. Now he's returned home, that is back to Earth. He has become part of a group responsible for mitigating disputes and it seems that the large populations of Aliens living on Earth want recognition. Humans on the other hand have no idea there really are aliens on their planet. To help him resolve this problem he has an ancient interstellar warship rumored to have destroyed several planets when its AI had a nervous breakdown. He also has a drop-dead gorgeous body guard who recently began insisting she is his fianc e. Then there is the small problem that someone is trying to kill him, although that might really be someone just trying to destroy the entire planet and he happens to be in the way of progress. At least he still has the assistance of his imaginary friend from childhood. Looks like just another day in Paradise.
