In Telegraph Hill, private detective Ray Infantino searches for a missing girl named Tania. The case takes him to San Francisco, the city he abandoned years ago after his fiance was murdered.

Celebrated journalist Erin Caselli's uncompromising assault against injustice had made her a star. When the assignment came to interview American hero, Steven Shaw, Caselli relished the opportunity to separate the myth from the man. Little did she know she was about to take a roller-coaster ride through the bright lights and dark recesses of a planet in turmoil. The drama sweeps across continents to take you into the world of the Russian mafia, drug cartels and corporate halls of power and politics. The characters you will come to love or loathe are as original as the story that delivers them with Technicolor ferocity. The issues Steve Sullivan presents with a master-storyteller's artistry will have you thinking late into the night.
A guide to principles and methods for the management, archiving, sharing, and citing of linguistic research data, especially digital data. "Doing language science" depends on collecting, transcribing, annotating, analyzing, storing, and sharing linguistic research data. This volume offers a guide to linguistic data management, engaging with current trends toward the transformation of linguistics into a more data-driven and reproducible scientific endeavor.

Therefore, the sole purpose of this book is as follows: (1) to properly examine Scripture; (2) to correctly interpret the misunderstood and misused principle of what the general Christian community refers to as The Favor of God; and (3) address the issue of how false teaching regarding this subject matter may unfortunately mislead fellow Christians or other religious individuals down the wrong path of righteous living and disobedience unto God. As an Oneness Christian Teacher, Theologian, and Apologist, I would like to mention the fundamental B...
Ghost Traps is a collection of twelve stories about characters who are on the edge and under duress, individuals backed against a wall as they try to free themselves from their own limitations, habits, and destructive desires. In the title story, Harper learns to fish from a man whose son is “catching hell” in the Korean War. When the son returns, he begins stealing lobsters from Harper’s traps, and Harper, out of a sense of obligation and guilt, teaches him to fish, vainly hoping it will help the man put together the pieces of a life that war shattered. In “The Connoisseur,” a wealthy collector on an archeological dig in the Himalayan foothills realizes he “knows how to stay out...
The explosion of information technology has led to substantial growth of web-accessible linguistic data in terms of quantity, diversity and complexity. These resources become even more useful when interlinked with each other to generate network effects. The general trend of providing data online is thus accompanied by newly developing methodologies to interconnect linguistic data and metadata. This includes linguistic data collections, general-purpose knowledge bases (e.g., the DBpedia, a machine-readable edition of the Wikipedia), and repositories with specific information about languages, linguistic categories and phenomena. The Linked Data paradigm provides a framework for interoperabilit...
