Book excerpt: In Payback! Eric Esor, a former law enforcement agent, forensic specialist, and investigator, following serious on duty injuries, is forced to change careers. Eric learns that his sixteen year old adopted daughter, Briana, was raped by a person who prefers chubby girls. Brianas protection from the boogeyman is to be thin. She turns to an unhealthy peer group, an eating disorder, and experimenting with illegal methamphetamines. Briana is not forthcoming with the police or her parents about being raped, leaving Eric to use his investigative and forensic skills. For more than two years, Eric conducts a lonely hunt for his daughters rapist. His skills pay off but his efforts taint evidence so that it is useless in traditional jurisprudence. Eric Esor now must decide whether or not to become the antithesis of himself. Could he be the polar opposite of the good citizen, son, husband, father, provider, brother, socially active, and well-educated teacher? Eric must decide whether to be investigator, prosecutor, judge, jury, and perhaps executioner. In other words, should Eric Esor seek Payback? If so, how, when and where will he accomplish this? If he does, he will have to leave absolutely no trace behind in order to return to his normal life. The question to be answered in Payback! is, Is it a time to kill?

Download or read book Otard written by Lawrence Qua CC and published by Partridge Publishing Singapore. This book was released on 2016-04-27 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Otard sounds like a name of a Brand of Brandy. In Southeast Asia, Otard would mean brain, but the spelling would be Otak. This is the story of Otard. This is a true story, but I classified it as fiction as it is too good to be true. No one would have believed that there is such a thing as Otard, a world brain, that manages our daily life. He cooks, cleans, and work, and settings world events. This book is about that particular person, and to clear his name as God of Great Britain, or world brain of the people. This book also deals a lot with paper works, as vision frames, or scrap books experienced and results. The author is not a competent speaker before, but now with the aid of the scrap books and vision charts, he experienced a new tongue and able to communicate freely. He is able to tell the true story of really what happened to him in Great Britain, and how he survived to today. This is the life of a brain, the life of Otard and world events.

Download or read book The Enemy written by Jeffrey Meyers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-10-31 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1980 and nominated for the Duff Cooper Prize, this was the first biography of Wyndham Lewis and was based on extensive archival research and interviews. It narrates Lewis’ years at Rugby and the Slade, his bohemian life on the Continent, the creation of Vorticism and publication of Blast, and his experiences at Passchendaele, as well as his many love affairs, his bitter quarrels with Bloomsbury and the Sitwells, the suppressed books of the thirties, the evolution of his political ideas, his self-imposed exile in North America and creative resurgence during his final blindness. Jeffrey Meyers also describes Lewis’ relationships with Roy Campbell, D. H. Lawrence, Katherine Mansfield, T. E Lawrence, Hemingway, Huxley, Yeats, Auden, Spender, Orwell and McLuhan. As the self-styled Enemy emerges from the shadows, he is seen as an independent and courageous artist and one of the most controversial and stimulating figures in modern English art and literature.

Download or read book Viron written by Jo-Lee and published by Oculus Publications. This book was released on 2021-04-07 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ★★★ "…An epically Microscopic Adventure" ★★★ After the loss of his wife, inside poor Floyd Loveless’ body the Light escaping from his broken heart has caused destruction and dystopia for all his microscopic inhabitants. Viron, an evil dark virus lord dwells in the navel, reproducing in large numbers until it's time to strike the vulnerable break and vanquish any remaining Light. Eternal Darkness seems certain, when a small unsuspecting and potentially toxic B-cell on the run spots the billion-strong dark army preparing for all-out war, but can our little anti-hero raise the alarm before it's too late? Even if he does, the antibody clones he would produce to fight back could have adverse effects...the potential to turn on the Self. Join B and his companions on their fantastical wild ride as they journey all through the body with only one task in mind…to save Planet Floyd, which on a much-much larger scale, would give Floyd’s little daughter the best Christmas gift she could ever imagine…her father. Viron, believe it or not, is what actually happens to billions of new-born naïve B-Cells and T-Cells in our body and the challenges they face, which makes this story not only an exciting journey for all the family, but also educational and full of insight into the inner workings of our body on a fun, molecular level. It is truly remarkable!

This book was released on 2013 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since scientists have recognised the greenhouse effect that is associated with the global warming, environmental friendly behaviour has become more important, and it is increasingly expected from companies to become more ecofriendly. This study deals with the so-called ?Greenwashing?, a marketing strategy that is discussed by the author. The author examines the company?s motivations to become ?greener?, and the relevance of IT-based environmental performance measurement to corporations. The main purpose of this study is to identify and visualize Key Ecological Indicators. Thus, the contribution of this work is the development of the theoretical foundations of KEIs, and the implementation of a KEI framework for business-processes on the basis of a case study.

Download or read book Desiccant Assisted Cooling written by Carlos Eduardo Leme Nóbrega and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-19 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing concern with indoor air quality has led to air-quality standards with increased ventilation rates. Although increasing the volume flow rate of outside air is advisable from the perspective of air-quality, it is detrimental to energy consumption, since the outside air has to be brought to the comfort condition before it is insufflated to the conditioned ambient. Moreover, the humidity load carried within outside air has challenging HVAC engineers to design cooling units which are able to satisfactorily handle both sensible and latent contributions to the thermal load. This constitutes a favorable scenario for the use of solid desiccants to assist the cooling units. In fact, desiccant wheels have been increasingly applied by HVAC designers, allowing distinct processes for the air cooling and dehumidification. In fact, the ability of solid desiccants in moisture removal is effective enough to allow the use of evaporative coolers, in opposition to the traditional vapor-compression cycle, resulting in an ecologically sound system which uses only water as the refrigerant. Desiccant Assisted Cooling: Fundamentals and Applications presents different approaches to the mathematical modeling and simulation of desiccant wheels, as well as applications in thermal comfort and humidity controlled environments. Experts in the field discuss topics from enthalpy, lumped models for heat and mass transfer, and desiccant assisted radiant cooling systems, among others. Aimed at air-conditioning engineers and thermal engineering researchers, this book can also be used by graduate level students and lecturers in the field.
