What happens when a demon of fear invades a woman nearly one hundred years ago, and subsequently attacks every one of her female descendants with fears so devastating that dreams are destroyed, giftings are abandoned, behaviors become weird, and insanity seems inevitable?Elsie has been told all her life that she is beautiful, brilliant, and strong. That there's nothing she can't do. Time has proven these words true. Time has also proven that the generational curse of fear that Elsie declared would not get her, has caught up with her-with a vengeance. In the sixth year of her seven-year neurosurgery residency at Johns Hopkins Hospital, a paralyzing and unexplainable fear attacks her with such ferocity that she drops out of the program.Elsie's strong atheistic beliefs are put to the test as she tries everything she knows to get better on her own. But she doesn't understand that she is in the midst of spiritual warfare and fighting demons and fighting God. Her condition worsens so fast that she is forced to consider things she once thought were myths, or worse, crazy. She has to consider demons, God, and spiritual warfare.
Some pregnancies are celebrated. Some are not. Those that are not attract demons.Little Becca is thrust into spiritual warfare while she is still in her mother's womb. She's only the size of a pea. But size means nothing to the evil spirits who roam the earth in search of victims. Victims who under the right circumstances may become homes for demonic invaders.One day a roaming demon of rejection is drawn to the baby by the power of negative words being spoken about her by her parents. Inside the home, Vincent and Heather are discussing why they can't have this baby. The demon watches hungrily and waits patiently for the would-be parents to finalize their plans about the baby, and to speak the right words that will cross a spiritual line and give him permission to invade little Becca's life.The demon's goal? To establish a stronghold of rejection in Becca's mind. A concentration of demonic power so powerful that the child never becomes the person God created her to be.Vincent and Heather don't want their child. A demon of rejection does.But so does God.

When Christian, a brash young psychologist, and his best friend, Patrick, develop psychic abilities, the bond of their friendship feels unbreakable. Christian thinks he's got it made, immediately using the ability to make his practice more effective, but when he accidentally uncovers a repressed memory in Patrick, their unbreakable bond becomes strained, plunging him into a nightmare world where he cannot trust his perceptions, his intuition with his patients, or his closest friend.To make matters worse, the psychic ability is contagious, first spreading to every patient Christian used it on, and then to everyone who comes in contact with his patients, causing mass hysteria. When the government steps in and declares martial law, it becomes clear that Christian has to fight to save his sanity, his friendship, and the lives of everyone he loves.
What poetry deserves this time? What time deserves this poetry? This is a poetry that takes in, talks back, bites down at the questionable, the unintelligible, the intolerable. Hard hitting speech, rhythmically measured and aurally gifted, its words on occasion break apart, elide a letter or two. Eric Acosta elects consonance over assonance to say what. Say what? This is a poetry fully alive to coming alive. It registers confusion, ferocity and tenderness. "Of me, of you haunts the page." "Genderless sex gone / fluid / . . . wanting from so unattainable a distance." Addiction flirts and flaunts; alcohol is exorcised: "the whiskey jar had to be put out to pasture / I baptized the glass nine times / and it still sinned." Go with Acosta's motion flesh, there is wit a aplenty, "he wasn't a man, more a revolving door."Jeanne Heuving, author Mood Indigo and Brilliant CornersEric Acosta's poems are multi-lingual multisensory Surrealist "aggregation of pilgrimage" into the 5th dimension, that "between it all" upside down reality, that uncanny valley full of "Lithic phantasms" "epistemic fur" "Tongues of illumination." Sit for a bit in this "somanous garden" and you'llknow what it means "to be in multiple states/at the same time" to hear on a cellular level the primordial radio howl in light particles something beyond the grasp of a singular hippocampus, the bric-a-brac of time converging in mind "FULLness of instance/the of of of"Matt Trease, author Later Heaven: Production CyclesMotion Flesh is a brilliant act of dwelling within the inexhaustible nothingness of the moment, replete with the intensities and idiosyncrasies of lived duration. The color of freeze dried, larvae infusions, moon fuzz and meat grinders, truth as a weapon of mass destruction, plexiglass tombs, ooze hangovers and gelatinous murk, tenable inhumanity, galactic contradictions, washing machines on rinse cycle and the inevitable moment when time eats space. Acosta's gift is an ability to hold together a precision of language with a seductive ambiguity of thought, a truly lucid delirium of encounter that persists through residues of texture and mood. In this work, deep meditation meets the struggle to maintain poise in the face of raw but often mundane existence. Flesh in motion breeds vertigo, thoughts pushed to a breaking point where new and alternate geographies of emotional and psychological insight begin to emerge. In Acosta's words: "pollination not revolution", Motion Flesh is a collection of moments, ideas, and thoughts, each pushed to a point of beautifully glitched catalysis-a deep dive into the lucid but hallucinatory territory of the felt mind.Ted Hiebert, author In Praise of Nonsense: Aesthetics, Uncertainty and Postmodern IdentityEric M Acosta is a poet and noise artist living in Seattle.

Why does corruption persist over long periods of time? Why is it so difficult to eliminate? Suggesting that corruption is deeply rooted in the underlying social and historical political structures of a country, Uslaner observes that there is a powerful statistical relationship between levels of mass education in 1870 and corruption levels in 2010 across 78 countries. He argues that an early introduction of universal education is shown to be linked to levels of economic equality and to efforts to increase state capacity. Societies with more equal education gave citizens more opportunities and power for opposing corruption, whilst the need for increased state capacity was a strong motivation for the introduction of universal education in many countries. Evidence for this argument is presented from statistical models, case studies from Northern and Southern Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, as well as a discussions of how some countries escaped the 'trap' of corruption.

This research analyzes operational and programmatic data from all Air National Guard and 13 of 14 active duty F-16C/D Fighter Wings (FW) from 1998 to 2004 in search of explanatory variables that influence a wing's Cost Per Flying Hour (CPFH). Using data from both the Air Force Total Ownership Cost database and from the Air Force Knowledge Systems database, this research evaluates the predictive ability of the following nine explanatory variables: aircraft age, average sortie duration, MajCOM, base location, utilization rate, percent engine type, percent block, percent deployed, and previous year's CPFH, the last four of which were previously untested. Additionally, this research builds regression models that accurately predict the CPFH of an F-16C/D FW using these operational and programmatic variables. This research concludes that the following variables are highly predictive and quantifies the relative influence of each of these variables: utilization rate, base location, percent block, percent engine type, average age of aircraft, and the previous year's CPFH. Finally, this research identifies a lurking variable and proposes two possible explanations.
