Among the ranks, the secrecy of the Dark Stalker's main communications hub, CONTROL, has had its trustworthiness brought into question as troops are sent to Max Jordan's home in search of a witness who knows about the high corruption within the preternatural World Government. Meanwhile, the same World Government is being lulled into believing all things are falling into place regarding the policing of the preternatural society, allowing unsupervised power and authority to a rogue commander who has been enlisting individuals for a "secret government project" who then are never seen again. Commander Michael Trevor has his focus set on Max Jordan who wants no part of it, but due to unforeseen events, he is given the choice of either keeping the witness safe or submitting to the commander's authority. The additional stress becomes more than Max can handle, which gives his own inner darkness the opportunity to finally wrench control from him and seemingly slaughter indiscriminately when dealing with unnatural beings. While the darkness is in control, no one around Max is completely safe, friend or foe.

Contains 36 lectures solely on Fourier analysis and the FFT. Time and frequency domains, representation of waveforms in terms of complex exponentials and sinusoids, convolution, impulse response and the frequency transfer function, modulation and demodulation are among the topics covered. The text is linked to a complete FFT system on the accompanying disk where almost all of the exercises can be either carried out or verified. End-of-chapter exercises have been carefully constructed to serve as a development and consolidation of concepts discussed in the text.

"More Pieces of Eight" presents tightly written stories drawn from the memories of an adventuresome man's life starting with boyhood in the 1930s.

Under the Appointments Clause, the President is empowered to nominate and appoint principal officers of the United States, but only with the advice and consent of the Senate. In addition to this general appointment authority, the Recess Appointments Clause permits the President to make temporary appointments, without Senate approval, during periods in which the Senate is not in session. This book begins with a general legal overview of the Recess Appointments Clause and a discussion of applicable case law that existed prior to the D.C. Circuit's decision in Noel Canning. In Noel Canning v. National Labor Relations Board, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (D.C. Circuit) ruled that President Obama's appointments of three Members to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) were constitutionally invalid. This book focuses on the ramifications that the Noel Canning decision might have on the President's authority to make recess appointment by providing a legal analysis of Noel Canning and the applicable case law that existed prior to that decision. The U.S. Constitution explicitly provides the President with two methods of appointing officers of the United States. This book also provides an overview of the Recess Appointments Clause, exploring its historical application and legal interpretation by the executive branch, the courts, and the Comptroller General. It also reflects on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit's decision in Noel Canning v. Nat'l Labor Relations Board, which held that the President's three recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) were invalid.

Area 51 is the tip of the iceberg though the real secret is all around us. Nether space is housed there, from a place where mystical energies were unleashed into our world.

Chaos entered our realm with the mystical energies, until the World Governments assembled a team of special men and women to combat these violent situations. These units, collectively called Dark Stalkers held the chaos at bay. These Nether beings, witches, lycanthropes, and vampires in our world were identified and allowed to live among us secretly, providing they live in peace. In modern times the governments were forced to pass a secret bill to have them licensed and regulated because some would use their strange abilities for death and destruction.

In the turn of the century, evil has moved its focus to a town called Reading, Pennsylvania, looking for a demon of great power. It holds knowledge that could plunge our entire existence into a hellish nightmare causing the human race to live as cattle, or fodder to the ruling denizens.

Also in Reading, PA is a special man named Maximus Jordan, who has no idea who or what he is though he alone is the key to world salvation, or plunge it into an eternal hell. His only guide to learning how to save our world is a mysterious man who tried to kill him. Max moved away to escape the death of his family and a broken relationship but the sequence of events begins on his "RETURN,"

Pieces of Eight is a book of tightly written stories drawn from the memories of an adventuresome man's life starting with boyhood in the 1930s.

Comprehensive, user friendly, and pedagoicaly structured … a fast, easy way to learn, about the electrical engineer’s most important mathematical tool Based on a groundbreaking one-semester course originated by Professor Norman Morrison at the University of Cape Town, this book serves equally well as a course text and a self-study guide for professionals. Offering only relevant mathematics, it covers all the core principles of electrical engineering contained in Fourier analysis, including the time and frequency domains; the representation of waveforms in terms of complex exponentials and sinusoids; complex exponentials and sinusoids as the eigenfunctions of linear systems; convolution; impulse response and the frequency transfer function; magnitude and phase spectra; and modulation and demodulation.

• Covers Fourier analysis exclusively for electrical engineering students and professionals
• Offers a complete FFT system contained on the enclosed disks (one for IBM compatibles, the other for Macintosh)
• Includes dozens of examples drawn from electrical engineering
• Packed with exercises, samples, and end-of-chapter problem sets
