VERACITY is a contemporary techno-thriller set in the Silicon Valley. A team of five young techies invent an incredible device that may change all of society for the better. Sanjay, whose brilliant programming and vision was the seed for the device, hopes to bring his family from India to fill the foreclosed mansion he has purchased, which at present is the team's laboratory. Tooky is a hardware genius with the CB handle he resembles, Hobit39. Algorithms and advice are provided by Rylin, a cynical thirty year old prep school throwback. Wahid is a quiet Iranian immigrant whose talent for adaptation and acquisition supplies the team's hardware needs. The team's newest member, Dydee, is described by a friend as beautiful of body and spirit with a mind of her own. She has written code that is key to perfecting the device, however the code is already patented by her employer. Ignoring the ethical and legal issues, the team uses the device to rake in money playing poker. When they realize their error, it is too late. They are under surveillance and their phones are tapped, but it is no benign government agency doing so. A sinister force is willing to kill for the device. When Dydee learns that Sanjay has been kidnapped and possibly murdered, she contacts the only person who can help, a young man she spurned eight years ago.

How I learned to love my travel crate and travel with my two humans. Princess Buttercup The Cat is a keen observer and breaks the age-old cat code of silence because she knows her book by a cat about a cat with its cat humor will be way better than any book by a human. Her tell-all travel adventure with her humans in a 5 day 4 night cross-country dash in the heat of summer - cat under a hot tin roof - includes many humorous anecdotes and reveals a with-it, outspoken, and witty tuxedo cat whose humility, compassion, and strong dose of attitude shine through. She often listens to her humans and shares some of their experiences as well.Princess Buttercup left her heart near San Francisco and tells her story in her own voice of her Road Trip #3 from her Pennsylvania home to her California home - California or bust - highlighting the perplexing behavior of humans in general and her humans in particular. Covering 2,976 miles in 5 days and crossing 12 states is a grueling but enlightening experience. She stays in pet-friendly hotels where she gets her own Princess Buttercup Luggage Cart. She describes her close encounter of the third kind with a Weimaraner in a hotel elevator. As a mile high kitty, she also stays in the Colorado home of her man human's brother and mate along with 12 paws of the dog kind. Princess Buttercup describes the behavior and challenges of the barkers and the local wildlife. Princess Buttercup gives a cat's eye view of the vastness and beauty of the USA, the most celebrated section of the interstate highway system, the plains, the deserts, the mountains, the buttes, and the valleys, and an abandoned stealth airplane and Vegas, Baby, with wry comments from the comfort of her crate. She goes through a sandstorm, dust devils, tumbling tumbleweeds, thunderstorms - have you ever seen the rain coming down on a sunny day - and 111 F heat. She relates the challenges of leash management and eating on the road. An easy and fun read, Princess Buttercup's book is full of quips and feline insights about life, humans, cats, dogs, and more. It's also a how-to book about family travel with a cat. Princess Buttercup's humans, who took notes and transcribed her story, are authors themselves and seasoned travelers. To purr or not to purr, that is the question.

Liberty Inherited: The Untold Story of America's Exceptionalism

Liberty Inherited: The Untold Story of America's Exceptionalism

John L. Hancock

America is at a crucial point in its history. As more and more of its citizens no longer believe in its exceptionalism, the once proud nation is not only losing its place in the world, but it is also losing its very soul. The root cause of this is a lack of knowledge. Knowledge of the incredible history and the principles that made America one of the greatest nations the world has ever seen. It is the objective of Liberty Inherited to set the record straight. It starts by recognizing that the foundation of this exceptionalism goes further back than 1776. As the book beautifully details, it evolved over 12 centuries. In a very easy and understandable way, Liberty Inherited will take you back to the Old World and planting of the seed that will mature in the New World to become the Liberty Tree. From this incredible tale of the now forgotten-or untold- origins of America you will rediscover the nation's greatness and the principles that made it exceptional. In the end, this book will leave you asking, "Why was I never taught this?" "John Hancock has traced the origins of American liberty back to their earliest roots, in the political struggles of early modern England. He understands that our two countries are joint inheritors of a great tradition: the tradition of limited government, of parliamentary supremacy, of personal freedom and of the common law. This book is a refreshing antidote to the prevailing historical schools on both sides of the Atlantic". - Daniel Hannan (MEP, Columnist, Author) "John Hancock has written a book that should be required reading for any student of the Founding Fathers, the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution. He describes in a very easy to understand way, how the Founding Fathers arrived at the thought process that resulted in the founding of this great country. So often we focus on what they did, without thinking how they came to do it." - Stefan Bartelski (Political Commentator, Radio Talk Show Host) "In Liberty Inherited John Hancock reconnects us with our political heritage and the principles that made this nation great. This book is required reading for anyone concerned that America is losing its exceptionalism."-Former Congressman Steve Stockman (R-TX)

Biosignal and Medical Image Processing

Biosignal and Medical Image Processing

John L. Semmlow; Benjamin Griffel

CRC Press Inc
2014
sidottu
Written specifically for biomedical engineers, Biosignal and Medical Image Processing, Third Edition provides a complete set of signal and image processing tools, including diagnostic decision-making tools, and classification methods. Thoroughly revised and updated, it supplies important new material on nonlinear methods for describing and classifying signals, including entropy-based methods and scaling methods. A full set of PowerPoint slides covering the material in each chapter and problem solutions is available to instructors for download.See What’s New in the Third Edition:Two new chapters on nonlinear methods for describing and classifying signals.Additional examples with biological data such as EEG, ECG, respiration and heart rate variability Nearly double the number of end-of-chapter problems MATLAB® incorporated throughout the textData "cleaning" methods commonly used in such areas as heart rate variability studies The text provides a general understanding of image processing sufficient to allow intelligent application of the concepts, including a description of the underlying mathematical principals when needed. Throughout this textbook, signal and image processing concepts are implemented using the MATLAB® software package and several of its toolboxes. The challenge of covering a broad range of topics at a useful, working depth is motivated by current trends in biomedical engineering education, particularly at the graduate level where a comprehensive education must be attained with a minimum number of courses. This has led to the development of "core" courses to be taken by all students. This text was written for just such a core course. It is also suitable for an upper-level undergraduate course and would also be of value for students in other disciplines that would benefit from a working knowledge of signal and image processing.

How John Rolfe's Courage, Persistence, And Relationships Changed The World. The exciting and inspiring epic adventure of America's First Entrepreneur. A humble and astute English farmer has a vision of entrepreneurial success across the ocean in Virginia, he embarks on an epic adventure with his pregnant wife, he endures the storm of the century, the hurricane which inspired William Shakespeare to write "The Tempest," he survives the wreck of the "Sea Venture" and is marooned on a deserted island for almost ten months when other survivors mutiny and murder, his wife gives birth to their baby on the deserted island and then the baby dies, he arrives in Jamestown to find Hell on Earth, English Cannibalism, and starvation, his English wife dies, he persists with his entrepreneurial vision and tastes success, his cash crop saves the Virginia colony financially, he converts an Indian princess to Christianity and marries her in a royal wedding, the first interracial church marriage in the Americas, his marriage saves the Virginia colony politically, and he and his Indian princess wife take a promotional tour to London as celebrities, all in just seven years. But for the contributions of America's First Entrepreneur, the Virginia colony would have failed and the French, Spanish, and Dutch, rather than the English, would have colonized not only New Mexico, California, Florida, Canada, Delaware, and New York, but most of what is now the United States. In a very real sense, America's First Entrepreneur is responsible for the United States being an English speaking nation, for our English common law, and for our English cultural heritage of representative government and religious freedom on which the United States of America was founded.America's First Entrepreneur's cash crop becomes the chief export from America for the next 150 years, and is still successful after 400 years with multi-billion dollar sales year in and year out. America's First Entrepreneur illustrates all the important time-tested principles of entrepreneurship. America's first entrepreneur was wildly successful within seven years using these principles after a series of seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

Devotional Chants & Mantras

Devotional Chants & Mantras

John L. Newell

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2012
nidottu
Composer John Newell offers a collection of fifty three short chants and mantras for use in personal meditation and prayer. Many are also useful for group worship. The chants arose from and are wedded to their brief texts. A number of these are original with John; others you will find to be familiar from the Psalms and other writings of the Judeo-Christian tradition. Some are based upon well known Buddhist mantra texts. Accompaniment is optional, and may be helpful in some cases, especially in group singing. In a few of the chants you'll notice that John couldn't resist writing out simple chordal accompaniments. In fact John most often sings them without accompaniment, and that is generally how they first came to him. Merely speaking the words is another and equally effective option. When singing the chants you should choose a key or pitch range that is comfortable for you, generally using your low to medium voice register. The chants are notated in several different ways. Some of them are more metrical and have time signatures. Others have no time signatures; and some use only black and white noteheards (indicating short and long notes), in a simplified chant notation. John's approach in each chant was to notate it in manner that made the most sense at the time. The repeats are ad libitum. Obviously much of the power of chanting comes from the repetition. Experiment with what is comfortable for you. The chants are organized according to their purpose in a meditation or prayer session: entering the presence or taking refuge, giving praise, evoking blessing and compassion, seeking assistance and intercession, and giving thanks. John has recorded the chants and mantras; audio files are are available for purchase and download at the iTunes Store, Amazon, and other web sites.

The inaugural flight of Emirates Airlines new Boeing 797 departs from Kuala Lumpur at midnight bound for Brisbane carrying a select crew and only twenty one passengers, all invited celebrities. Three hours into the flight the passengers are awakened to news that the aircraft has been hijacked. They are debating storming the flight deck when the aircraft crashes into the Timor Sea near a small island. The aircraft breaks up but a few souls survive, a German LPGA star, a Brazilian formula one champion, an Australian tennis star, a retired Japanese diplomat, an Emirates executive, an Irish martial arts star, two American movie stars, an American businessman and one of the flight attendants, a young Malay woman. They struggle ashore and other than two in desperate need of medical care, the wait for rescue may be a vacation in paradise until one of the survivors tells them rescuers will not know where to look because the hijacker flew below radar for hundreds of miles and evidence points to the emergency locator transmitters being disabled. Instead of paradise they discover the island is used by ruthless pirates. The survivors have come ashore without so much as a pocket knife to defend themselves from the pirates and an enemy that even the pirates fear, Abu Sayyaf, the terrorist group responsible for the hijacking.

CLR James

CLR James

John L Williams

Little, Brown Book Group
2023
pokkari
Historian, revolutionary and cricket writer, CLR James was one of the truly radical voices of the twentieth century. Born in Trinidad in the final days of the Victorian era, he debated with Trotsky, played cricket with Constantine, was published by Leonard and Virginia Woolf, inspired Kwame Nkrumah, and was a profound influence on the British Black Power movement. And yet by the late 1970s, CLR James was all but forgotten. The books he had written over the past half century were nearly all out of print. There were a few circles in which his name rang a bell: serious students of Black history; obsessive cricket fans. But that was it. When he died in Brixton in 1989, CLR James was internationally famous - lauded as the greatest of Black British intellectuals: the 'Black Plato', according to The Times. The ideas he put forward in his own time - of the importance of identity alongside class, of rebellion coming from below, of the leading roles of Black people, women and youth in political struggle - have gradually made their way to the forefront of our political thinking. His two great books, The Black Jacobins and Beyond a Boundary, still have the power to change readers' understanding of the world today. But while CLR James's work has been much examined, his long and remarkable life story has often been overlooked. For the first time, in a biography full of original research, human drama and keen insight, John L. Williams unveils the rich and compelling story of an intellectual giant. In doing so, he firmly establishes the importance of CLR James for the twenty-first century - if Black Britain has had a presiding genius, it remains CLR James.
