Lars returns to the city of Ragal, eager to see Amelia again and to discover what he can learn there. Since the attack of the Draknor many people have been displaced and formed roving groups of bandits, stealing and killing to survive, making the land of Gravick a very dangerous place for travellers. In Ragal he once again finds himself visting the crystal dome in his dreams. The souls trapped there seem more distraught than usual and what Lars discovers from them makes him determined to f...

Smart, strategic inventory management delivers competitive advantage, yet Inventory Turn trends suggest that little seems to change. Sustainable improvement through increasing control of systems and processes generates savings that can, in turn, be invested in growth initiatives. Inventory is not something that just concerns planning, production and finance. By working to better understand and control their inventory-related processes, everyone can drive improvements that will harness inve...

"And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ." - Philippians 1:6 (ESV)This autobiography is my declaration that Jesus Christ is my Savior and that He has done good works in me and through me.I am not writing these pages to polish my image. I am writing them because I cannot stay quiet about what God has done. If my salvation were based on people's perceptions of me, I would be headed toward a dim reality...

Russell Palmer's adventure in the Yucatan Peninsula continues as he strives to recover the valuable Mayan key to extend time beyond December 2012. But his efforts pit Palmer against local authorities, brutal opportunists, and superstitious Mayan legends. Palmer unwillingly pulls police officer Gabriela Reynoso into his quest as they race to Belize to uncover ancient clues. Will Palmer survive this triumvirate of doom?

When the queen is murdered in her own palace at Tarangar, by those who believe they can govern the land to a better future, they initiate albeit unwittingly the destruction of their world. Evil workings, begun by the arcane weavings of one twisted mage, quickly spread across the land in the form of dragon fire and a mercenary army, operating from a huge fortress, built by the sweat and blood of countless slaves.Only the Sky-Water Dragons can save mankind, but they, too, have been c...

Most real-world spectrum analysis problems involve the computation of the real-data discrete Fourier transform (DFT), a unitary transform that maps elements N of the linear space of real-valued N-tuples, R , to elements of its complex-valued N counterpart, C , and when carried out in hardware it is conventionally achieved via a real-from-complex strategy using a complex-data version of the fast Fourier transform (FFT), the generic name given to the class of fast algorithms used for the ef?...

Harry wasn't your average hyena; he had bigger plans! Not content with being your average member of the pack and getting left behind, Harry set upon a plan to better himself and stand out from the rest. Even through adversity and jeers, Harry never gave up, and with the support of his family, he had the last laugh!

This book describes how a key signal/image processing algorithm – that of the fast Hartley transform (FHT) or, via a simple conversion routine between their outputs, of the real‑data version of the ubiquitous fast Fourier transform (FFT) – might best be formulated to facilitate computationally-efficient solutions. The author discusses this for both 1-D (such as required, for example, for the spectrum analysis of audio signals) and m‑D (such as required, for example, for the compression of ...

The innovative volume seeks to broaden the scope of research on mathematical problem solving in different educational environments. It brings together contributions not only from leading researchers, but also highlights collaborations with younger researchers to broadly explore mathematical problem-solving across many fields: mathematics education, psychology of education, technology education, mathematics popularization, and more. The volume’s three major themes—technology, creativity, an...

In the wake of an AI collapse and global ecological unraveling, humanity stands at a crossroad. Across the fractured landscapes of New Orleans, Lagos, Oaxaca, and Seoul, resistance takes shape-not through weapons, but through memory, song, soil, and code.At the center is Reverend Elijah Noble-a Southern mystic steeped in ancestral wisdom- joined by a constellation of techno-mystics, outcasts, and survivors. Together, they begin rewiring not just the future, but the meaning of human...

What should and should not be considered an affordance is still an open issue. This special issue expands on the 2002 North American meeting of the International Society for Ecological Psychology covering this topic. The first article argues that affordances are properties of the animal-environment system and are emergent properties that do not inhere in either the environment or the animal. The next paper focuses on four issues regarding affordances: the ontological status, whether or not...
