Jenny and her boyfriend, David travel to the Caribbean islands to visit with her Aunt Jessie. What begins to be a normal trip turns events upside down and strange things that start happening while they are on their little vacation to visit family. They encountered some strange and funny characters during their adventures during this excursion of the island. Not to mention some strange and coincidental train of events that seemed to be unexplainable, but yet intriguing. The thing that I enjoy writing about the most is events or unexplainable things that just happen in our day to day lives. Angels? Yes, they are Real. And sometimes we dont know when one might be our presence, looking over us, and guiding us along lifes journey. Although this is a fictional story, dont be surprised when an Angel appears in your life. It also shows that our God is a Loving God, and is always looking out for us in one way or another.
From the beginning, horror has been part of the cinema landscape. Despite some of the earliest genre films with gay directors such as F.W. Murnau (Nosferatu) and James Whale (Frankenstein, The Invisible Man, Bride of Frankenstein), LGBTQIA characters have rarely been portrayed in full view. For decades, filmmakers have included "coded" content in their films with the homosexual experience translated into censor-friendly subtext for consumption by general audiences. Gradually, LGBTQIA characters and themes have moved from the background to the foreground as the horror genre has grown along with its audience's tastes and attitudes. Likewise, more and more LGBTQIA writers and directors have beg...
Social pressure to minimize the use of animal testing, the ever-increasing concern on animal welfare, and the need for more human-relevant and more predictive toxicity tests are some of the drivers for new approaches to chemical screening. This book focuses on The Adverse Outcome Pathway, an analytical construct that describes a sequential chain of causally linked events at different levels of biological organization that lead to an adverse health or ecotoxicological effect. While past efforts have focused on toxicological pathway-based vision for human and ecological health assessment relying on in vitro systems and predictive models, The Adverse Outcome Pathway framework provides a simplified and structured way to organize toxicological information. Within the book, a systems biology approach supplies the tools to infer, link, and quantify the molecular initiating events and the key events and key event relationships leading to adverse outcomes. The advancement of these tools is crucial for the successful implementation of AOPs for regulatory purposes.

Autonomous manufacturing and cyber-physical systems are key enabling technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR4) which are currently being incorporated into the building design and construction industries. These emerging IR4 technologies have the potential to effectively improve construction affordability and productivity, address current and future building demand, and reduce the environmental impact of the built environment. However, design approaches that make use of IR4 technologies are still relatively unexplored. While automation, such as mass production, promotes standardised design solutions, design thinking that embraces varying degrees of autonomy can lead to unique and ...
This is a story about an amazing group of friends that set out to change the world one person at a time. They were all extremely wealthy through hard work or inheritance. They all figure that they can only drive one car at a time and live in one house at a time and everything else is really not needed. The ten friends set out to change thousands of people’s lives in this country. They would pick a downtrodden neighborhood and breathe life into it by paving the streets, fixing all existing homes, giving the people good paying jobs, and paying off all their outstanding debt. These poor people who could barely feed their kids would now have a place they were proud to call home. They paid their taxes and lived their lives. The friends branched out to adjoining communities and were met with the same love and admiration that they enjoyed enhancing lives in the first neighborhood. The group would branch out and soon they have renovated nearly an entire county until corrupt politicians and drug lords attempt to put a stop to these good deeds because it was removing the slums that these entities rely on to do business.
