The beloved people of Two Creeks once again give the story its rural charm. Amy’s second summer in the Valley of Two Creeks proves to be even more challenging. Our present story has the terrorist group Dawn Robin returning in a second attempt to assassinate President Victoria Washington when she visits the Valley of Two Creeks. The mysterious blue glow reappears to assist in the defeat of the terrorists. However, a new visitor, a young girl, enters the story. She is sent to the Valley by the blue energy to assist in the struggle. This young girl brings with her no memory of her past or even her name. The Sheriff and others try to discover her identity, and, in so doing, a cold case is reopened that will lead to the capture of the leaders of Dawn Robin. The local intrigue expands to include a range of participants from Washington DC, the Pentagon, and Fort Campbell, who join forces with the local people of Kentucky. Amy Hawkins continues her heroic work and becomes friends with the President and other members of the President’s task force. The story is filled with action and miracle as Amy is called upon to save many people who suffer from forces of the natural world, an assassin’s bullet, murder, and even assassination when the President is shot by a newly developed infrared weapon that fires ionizing radiation.

Download or read book Going with the Grain written by Susan Seligson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-12-17 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "My lifelong love affair with bread has less to do with crust, crumb, and the vagaries of sourdough cultures and more to do with bread as a reflection of people's varied beliefs, daily lives, and blood memories....Bread tells the most essential human stories." So begins Susan Seligson's personal and often humorous journey to discover the secrets of the baker's trade and the place bread has in the lives of those who consume it. Part travelogue, part cultural history, with a handful of recipes thrown in for good measure, it is an exploration of the customs, traditions, and rituals around the creating and eating of this most basic and enduring form of sustenance. Bread is the stuff of life. Governments have been overthrown and religious rituals created because of it. Fry bread, matzo, ksra, nan, baguette: all are as resonant of their specific culture as any artifact. In Going with the Grain, Seligson wanders the streets of the Casbah in Fès, Morocco, to unlock the secrets of the thousand-year-old communal bakeries there. In Saratoga Springs, New York, she finds a bread maker so committed to making the ultimate loaf, he built a unique sixty-ton hearth and uses only certified biodynamically grown wheat. Seligson knelt in the Jordanian desert beside a woman turning flat breads over glowing embers and plumbed the mysteries of Wonder Bread in an aseptic American factory. As satisfying as a slice of good bread with butter, Going with the Grain is for the armchair traveler and armchair baker alike.

Download or read book Newcomers to Old Towns written by Sonya Salamon and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-07-24 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2004 winner of the Robert E. Park Book Award from the Community and Urban Sociology Section (CUSS) of the American Sociological Association Although the death of the small town has been predicted for decades, during the 1990s the population of rural America actually increased by more than three million people. In this book, Sonya Salamon explores these rural newcomers and the impact they have on the social relationships, public spaces, and community resources of small town America. Salamon draws on richly detailed ethnographic studies of six small towns in central Illinois, including a town with upscale subdivisions that lured wealthy professionals as well as towns whose agribusinesses drew working-class Mexicano migrants and immigrants. She finds that regardless of the class or ethnicity of the newcomers, if their social status differs relative to that of oldtimers, their effect on a town has been the same: suburbanization that erodes the close-knit small town community, with especially severe consequences for small town youth. To successfully combat the homogenization of the heartland, Salamon argues, newcomers must work with oldtimers so that together they sustain the vital aspects of community life and identity that first drew them to small towns. An illustration of the recent revitalization of interest in the small town, Salamon's work provides a significant addition to the growing literature on the subject. Social scientists, sociologists, policymakers, and urban planners will appreciate this important contribution to the ongoing discussion of social capital and the transformation in the study and definition of communities.

Download or read book To Halt Or Not To Halt That Is The Question written by Cristian S Calude and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2024-03-20 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about the 'Halting Problem', arguably the most (in)famous computer-related problem: can an algorithm decide in finite time whether an arbitrary computer program eventually stops? This seems a dull, petty question: after all, you run the program and wait till it stops. However, what if the program does not stop in a reasonable time, a week, a year, or a decade? Can you infer that it will never stop? The answer is negative. Does this raise your interest? If not, consider these questions: Can mathematics be done by computers only? Can software testing be fully automated? Can you write an anti-virus program which never needs any updates? Can we make the Internet perfectly secure? Your guess is correct: the answer to each question is negative. The Halting Problem is 'hidden' in many subjects, from logic (is mathematics free of contradictions?), physics (is quantum randomness perfect?), to philosophy (do humans have free will, or do our brains generate our thoughts and decisions in a deterministic way?) and quantum computing (why we don't have a quantum Halting Problem?) — this book will visit each of them.Written in an informal and thought-provoking language, supported with suggestive illustrations and applications and almost free of arcane mathematics (formal arguments are relegated to particular parts dedicated to the mathematically-oriented reader), the book will stimulate the curiosity and participation of the reader interested in the consequences of the limits of computing and in various attempts to cope with them.
