Glamour, sex, treachery . . . and big, big money Young Brazilian model Cintia Silva arrived in the UK with nothing but a burning desire to make some money and turn her life around. Before long she had plunged into the murky but multimillion-pound world of lap-dancing. Sacked from her first club within a week, Cintia resolves to reinvent herself. After creating a seductive new stage persona, Gabriella, she hones her skills and takes the lap-dancing scene by storm, using her looks and her smarts to earn serious money. In Full Brazilian, Cintia lays bare the opulent world of the high rollers, the glamour and wealth of life in the fast lane. And she tells of her struggle to find love and acceptance - and how she came to terms with the demons of her past.
This new book discusses plant-derived bioactive compounds, covering their sources, biological effects, health benefits, and potential prevention and treatment properties for multifactorial diseases. It first describes in detail how encapsulation methods and plant-based materials may be used in a variety of ways, covering the concepts, advantages, and techniques for encapsulating bioactives based on cereals, spices, and coffee. The volume also looks at the functional aspects of plant-based foods and nutraceutical-based functional food design. The role of functional foods in food safety and industrial food safety issues and techniques for monitoring food quality and safety are also addressed.
This new volume presents new studies and research cases on advanced technologies for food processing and preservation to maintain and improve food quality, extend shelf-life, and provide new solutions to food processing challenges. The volume discusses cold plasma and ultrasound processing of foods, introducing new food processing technologies and applications. It also elaborates on microwave processing of foods, describing applications, potential and intermittent microwave drying of fruits. Other new research focusses on high-pressure processing, electrospinning technology in foods, encapsulation techniques, impact of freezing and thawing processes on textural properties of food products, 3D printing of foods, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in food authentication, and state-of-the-art applications of nanotechnology in food processing.
Brazilian model Cintia Silva arrived in the UK with little else but a burning desire to make some money and turn her life around after enduring a poverty-stricken upbringing, tinged by tragedy.

O saneamento básico consiste em atividade de fundamental importância para qualquer sociedade. É capaz de fortes impactos econômicos e sobretudo sociais. A interconexão do tema com a saúde e o meio ambiente e, consequentemente, com o desenvolvimento econômico definem a importância do debate e impõem medidas prospectivas mais reais de politicas públicas para o setor. É nesse contexto que a presente obra se insere, fruto de debates e pesquisas do Grupo de Estudos de Direito Administrativo (GDA) realizados no decorrer do ano de 2016. Assim, temos o enorme prazer de apresentar os resultados dos estudos e pesquisas por meio da presente obra coletiva que brinda o leitor com os temas debatidos ao longo do ano. O desafio encarado com garra e dedicação por todos do GDA gerou essa obra importante para o cenário jurídico. Por isso, agradecemos a todos que escreveram e também aqueles que, diretamente ou indiretamente, contribuíram com a produção do trabalho. E o GDA prossegue o seu caminhado estudando agora a relação do Direito Administrativo com as novas tecnologias.
Much recent scholarship has sought to identify the linguistic and social factors that favor the expression or omission of subject pronouns in Spanish. This volume brings together leading experts on the topic of language variation in Spanish to provide a panoramic view of research trends, develop probabilistic models of grammar, and investigate the impact of language contact on pronoun expression. The book consists of three sections. The first studies the distributional patterns and conditioning forces on subject pronoun expression in four monolingual varieties—Dominican, Colombian, Mexican, and Peninsular—and makes cross-dialectal comparisons. In the second section, experts explore Spanish in contact with English, Maya, Catalan, and Portuguese to determine the extent to which each language influences this syntactic variable. The final section examines the acquisition of variable subject pronoun expression among monolingual and bilingual children as well as adult second language learners.
