Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometimes the journey of life takes a few strange turns. Meg Jennings used to be a reporter, but now she's a fugitive hiding out at a lakefront rental in the small town of Alpine Grove, waiting for the heat to die down. Meg shares the house with Riley O'Shea, who may or may not be her stepbrother, and his dog, Zelda. When Meg is zapped by a woman with a stun gun and thrown into a van, everything changes. Although getting to Alpine Grove was complicated, getting out might be worse. Faced with difficult choices, Meg and Riley end up on a journey to find a mysterious retreat located somewhere in the Northwest. The trip takes them from tiny hamlets to big cities where they encounter everything from digestively challenged buzzards to tone-deaf musicians dressed like Klingons having a fashion disaster.

Each year, tens of thousands of children are conceived with donated gametes (sperm or eggs). By some estimates, there are over one million donor-conceived people in the United States and, of course, many more the world over. Some know they are donor-conceived. Some do not. Some know the identity of their donors. Others never will. Questions about what donor-conceived people should know about their genetic progenitors are hugely significant for literally millions of people, including donor-conceived people, their parents, and donors. But the practice of gamete donation also provides a vivid occasion for thinking about questions that matter to everyone. What is the value of knowing who your genetic progenitors are? How are our identities bound up with knowing where we come from? What obligations do parents have to their children? And what makes someone a parent in the first place? In Conceiving People: Identity, Genetics and Gamete Donation, Daniel Groll argues that people who plan to create a child with donated gametes should choose a donor whose identity will be made available to the resulting child. This is not, Groll argues, because having genetic knowledge is fundamentally important. Rather, it is because donor-conceived people are likely to develop a significant interest in having genetic knowledge and parents must help satisfy their children's significant interests. In other words, because a donor-conceived person is likely to care about having genetic knowledge, their parents should care too.

Download or read book Huna a Secret Science At Work The Huna Method As a Way of Life written by Max Freedom Long and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-01-09 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The word kanuna is an ancient term and is in use today. It is pronounced ""kah-hoo-nah"" and meant ""keeper of the secret."" The word for their secret lore was never found. The role of secrecy had been so strong and so well kept that it may never have been given a name... The name we used, for this reason, was Huna (pronounced ""hoo-nah""), which means ""secret."" Enough basic information will be incorporated in this book to give a working picture of the system of beliefs and practices upon which experimental work has been based. Interspersed with the instructions will be found explanations of the sources of conclusions, of symbols, words, and word-roots familiar to Huna, but which we also found in other religions, mainly Christianity. These will tend to show that the meanings ascribed to Huna are well founded. Huna is compatible with other systems. It interferes with none of them, but makes possible a greater understanding of the old truths. (From the Introduction) Get Your Copy Today!

Download or read book Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks written by Carlos de Morais Cordeiro and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2011 with total page 663 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive yet easy coverage of ad hoc and sensor networks and fills the gap of existing literature in this growing field. It emphasizes that there is a major interdependence among various layers of the network protocol stack. Contrary to wired or even one-hop cellular networks, the lack of a fixed infrastructure, the inherent mobility, the wireless channel, and the underlying routing mechanism by ad hoc and sensor networks introduce a number of technological challenges that are difficult to address within the boundaries of a single protocol layer. All existing textbooks on the subject often focus on a specific aspect of the technology, and fail to provide critical insights on cross-layer interdependencies. To fully understand these intriguing networks, one need to grasp specific solutions individually, and also the many interdependencies and cross-layer interactions.
