Claverton Down, Bath, UK, BA2 7AY 1.1 WHAT IS A MEMBRANE PROCESS?
Every day over 20 million litres of brackish water are pumped out
of the ground near Jeddah in Saudi Arabia and passed through thin
sheets of cellulose acetate known as reverse osmosis membranes
before being used as part of the city's water supply. In St Maurice
les Chateauneuf, France three million litres a day of ground water
are ultrafiltered to supply the city and on test sites in Australia
settled sewage is being disinfected by being passed through
microfiltration membranes. Many of the foods we eat and beverages
we drink have used membranes during their processing. Orange juice
can be concentrated by membranes to make a concentrate which
retains more of the flavour than does evaporation. Milk can be
concentrated slightly by means of a membrane before making a cheese
in a process which produces no whey. Gases rising from the ground
in a waste tip can be piped away and the carbon dioxide separated
from the methane by a membrane process allowing the methane then to
be used as a fuel, simultaneously saving energy and reducing the
greenhouse effect since methane is more effective as a greenhouse
gas than carbon dioxide.

Ghosts aren't the only thing that can haunt you... Nolan and Harley
have been in paradise for the last year, head over heels in love.
When Nolan proposes and they find out Harley is expecting, it seems
they both will have everything they ever wanted. Or will they?
Nolan's kept the horrors of his past locked away. After all, he has
Harley and Finley's Pub is doing great. None of it matters anymore,
right? But when the news of nuptials and babies has the opposite
intended effect with his estranged mother, the ghosts of his past
come rushing back, and the memories of them are terrorizing him
nightly. But he can't tell Harley. On the verge of marriage and
parenthood, Nolan must figure out a way to deal with his past, or
let it consume his future with Harley. Harley's always known she
wasn't normal. Seeing Brody's ghost only confirmed that. But now a
killer is on the loose in Midtown and she's having visions of each
victim's death. Will she be able to help them and accept just how
different she truly is? Pregnant, engaged, and contending with an
overbearing mother-in-law, Harley isn't sure she can take on the
responsibility and the future laid out in front of her. They say
love conquers all. But as Nolan and Harley struggle with their own
secrets, will their love be enough to keep them together? Or will
the things that haunt them finally tear them apart?
Stumbling off the bus in Midtown, Harley Martin thought she found
an escape from her old life. She soon realizes it was anything but
that. Low on cash and options, she manages to find herself a cheap
but surprisingly nice apartment. The catch? The last tenant, Brody
Walsh, killed himself. Or did he? As disturbing dreams and
hauntings start to occur, Harley realizes there may be much more
behind the previous tenant's death than a simple suicide. She finds
her life further entangled with his when she learns that her new
boss, Nolan, was also his best friend. Could this handsome but
evasive pub owner have something to do with Brody's death? Trying
to piece together the events surrounding Brody's death proves to be
a daunting task, but Harley can't give up. Brody won't let her. He
is still in the apartment with her, trapped in limbo until she
finds his killer. But he's not waiting for revenge. Harley's next.
**Not for readers under the age of 18+. Contains language, explicit
sex, and adult situations.** Kieran Donovan has always been a
doormat to the women in his life. Begging his wife not to leave
after finding her in bed with not one-but five men-only provides
further proof of that. In need of an escape from an empty house and
a broken heart, Kieran heads to Midtown to see his estranged
brother, Liam. There he meets Shayne Wickham, Liam's best friend.
Shayne's dark and sexy with a wild streak a mile long and a sexual
appetite for things Kieran's never even dreamed of doing. But after
an intense, and all too brief encounter, he's more than willing to
learn. Despite the usual safeguards Shayne keeps around herself and
her own wounded heart, she finds herself more than willing to show
him the ropes...and the floggers...and the paddles. Kieran's never
seen himself as dominant in any aspect of his life. But when Shayne
submits herself to him, it ignites an inner strength and hunger he
never knew he had-and feelings Shayne didn't know she could have.
So used to keeping others at an arm's length, the ease with which
she finds herself trusting Kieran is both exciting and unsettling.
Could Kieran be someone she could finally trust her heart to-or
will he leave her scarred like everyone else? Just another mark on
her skin.
"Being half-fae I had the ability to sense others' impending
deaths. Anomalies. Deaths that didn't have to happen. Sometimes, if
I had enough time to get to them, I could stop their deaths. But I
never imagined I'd see my own." With only a week to go before she
gives birth to her daughter Emma, Harley Faye Finley chooses to
make the ultimate sacrifice. Trade her life for that of her
daughter's. When the time comes, she's ready for the inevitable.
But something goes wrong. Harley survives. But someone...or
something else is in there with her. As this unknown, malevolent
force fights for control, Harley finds herself a prisoner in her
own body, and those she loves are now in mortal danger. Will she,
Nolan, or anybody else be able to stop it before it's too late? Or
will the Harley they know and love be lost to them forever?
"You can't leave me because I'll only ever love you." What was
supposed to be a final goodbye turned into one last piece of
unfinished business for Brody Walsh. As long as Aggie Walker's
heart still belongs to him, he's destined to remain in limbo,
watching over her. But when her family decides to send her to
Scotland for the summer and she meets Camden MacTavish, it seems
despite their constant head-butting that there may be something
more between them. That is, if she is willing to let Camden in. As
Aggie finds herself torn between her lover lost and her lover anew,
it becomes clear that she cannot hold on to both. If she decides to
let Camden into her heart, she will have to let Brody go. And if
she can't let Brody go, she risks losing Camden-and a second chance
at love. Forever.
Brody Walsh's life is left in disarray when his girlfriend is found
brutally raped and murdered. But it completely shatters when his
best friend, Nolan is arrested for the crime. Even as the media is
portraying him as a monster, Brody knows Nolan isn't capable of
murder. That leaves the question: Who is? Once the trial begins,
Brody discovers just how little he knew about his girlfriend,
spurring him to dig into her past for possible answers. And as
Aggie, his long time confidant and childhood crush, stands by his
side through all of this, he finds his own past resurfacing when
his feelings for her reignite. But as the media and the prosecutors
close in on Nolan, ready to convict him for a crime he didn't
commit, Brody will be forced to make a choice. A choice that will
lead to his untimely death.
