Ocean Harvest is the story of an Italian immigrant who came to America in the 1920s and quickly learned that money was very important to live the good life. Little Anthony Vallo grew up fast in Manhattan. He and his younger brother and cousin did many unscrupulous things to achieve wealth. As the years passed, he and his family grew, not only in number but in power and prestige. In the twilight of his life, he passed on the title of Godfather to his nephew. The nephew at first had great trepidation about this honor but finally accepted because he knew he could do great things with this enormous power. The Godfather had connections all over the world. He treated everyone with respect, and they grew to love him because they knew he was a man of his word. The newly appointed Godfather convinced all the other bosses in other states to change their ways of thinking. The economy was struggling all over the world, and he implemented many ideas to get people back to work. He truly believed he was chosen to finally bring peace to the world. He was right.
The following story is about a young man, who is from a very influential family, in Los Angeles California. The family has been making wine for nearly 100 years. This young man after finishing college in Boston decides he would like to serve God. Being brought up in a very religious family, your Frank thinks that this is the only way he can be saved. Frank enrolls in a seminary in Boston, against his fathers' wishes. His father Antonio Vallo wanted his son to take over family business. In the seminary Frank learns a whole new way of life.

Daniel Metteneye (ca. 1638-1685), son of William Metteney and of French lineage, immigrated from England to Surrey County, Virginia about 1660, moved to Charles County, Maryland in 1663, and married Sarah Wentworth in 1663/1665. Descendants (chiefly spelling the surname Matheny) and relatives lived in Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas, New York and elsewhere. Includes some ancestry in England and France.
The search for cleaner, cheaper, smaller and more efficient energy technologies has to a large extent been motivated by the development of new materials. The aim of this collection of articles is therefore to focus on what materials-based solutions can offer and show how the rationale design and improvement of their physical and chemical properties can lead to energy-production alternatives that have the potential to compete with existing technologies. In terms of alternative means to generate electricity that utilize renewable energy sources, the most dramatic breakthroughs for both mobile (i.e., transportation) and stationary applications are taking place in the fields of solar and fuel cells. And from an energy-storage perspective, exciting developments can be seen emerging from the fields of rechargeable batteries and hydrogen storage.
The third method invented is called the Rolling-assisted-biaxially-textured-substrates (RABiTS). The book is divided into four sections. The first section discusses the three methods to fabricate biaxially textured substrates, upon which, epitaxial YBCO or other HTS materials can be deposited to realize a single-crystal-like HTS wire. The second section includes chapters on various methods of HTS deposition such as pulsed laser ablation (PLD), thermal co-evaporation, sputtering, pulsed electron beam deposition, ex-situ BaF2 by co-evaporation flowed by annealing, chemical solution based ex-situ processes, jet vapor deposition, metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), and liquid phase epitaxy (LPE). The third section includes detailed chapters on other HTS materials such as the various Tl-based and Hg-based conductors. These Second-Generation HTS conductors, also referred to as "Coated conductors" represent one of the most exciting developments in HTS technology.
