keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the

Storing Digital Binary Data into Cellular DNA demonstrates how
current digital information storage systems have short longevity
and limited capacity, also pointing out that their production and
consumption of data exceeds supply. Author Rocky Termanini explains
the DNA system and how it encodes vast amounts of data, then
presents information on the emergence of DNA as a storage
technology for the ever-growing stream of data being produced and
consumed. The book will be of interest to a range of readers
looking to understand this game-changing technology, including
researchers in computer science, biomedical engineers, geneticists,
physicians, clinicians, law enforcement and cybersecurity experts.

Sharene Marsena is a beautiful teenager and devout Christian from
Alabama who is caring for her grandmother in South Carolina when
her life is changed forever by a violent act.
Evon Trask brutally rapes the soon-to-be high school senior in
the woods one afternoon, taking her innocence. In the months
following, Sharene changes from a girl who once pined for her
boyfriend back home to an emotionally scarred woman who must first
face the agonizing news that she has been infected with AIDS, then
testify against her rapist. Through his unwavering spiritual
guidance, Pastor Dale Hemri helps Sharene recover emotionally. As
she enrolls in a junior college in Georgia, a Colombian drug lord
discovers Sharene looks identical to his own girlfriend. He sends
his confidant, Sherm Purcell to deliver Sharene to him, but Purcell
is intercepted by the CIA. Still vulnerable, Sharene is lured by
Purcell's flattery and flies to Paraguay where she's trained to
enter the drug lord's Colombian fortress as a substitute for his
abducted girlfriend.
As Sharene is helped inside the military compound, she has no
idea that she's about to encounter the devil himself, beginning an
unplanned journey to hell and back.
Summer Rose Watson is a fifteen-year-old army brat whose father
is on his third deployment to Afghanistan. Once a straight-A
student and youth leader in her church, Summer Rose's grades begin
to slip as she sinks into a depression. She stops attending church
and is even caught sneaking out of the house. The only thing that
keeps Summer Rose's rebellion in check is her flying lessons. But
even that is taken away when her plane crashes.
In desperation, her mother sends Summer Rose to Palmer, Alaska,
to stay with her grandfather. She worries she'll be stuck out in
the wilderness, banished from malls, movies, MTV, and even cell
phone service. But once there, she finds things aren't as bad as
she feared. Grandpa Gus restarts her flying lessons, and she gets
her driver's license on her sixteenth birthday. She makes a new
friend, Esperanza, and she falls for the captain of the JV football
team at Colony High.
But the Greatland can be a brutal place. Summer Rose is forced
to handle some very difficult and dangerous adult situations. She
witnesses death for the first time and has her own close encounter.
What's more, she suspects something is wrong with Grandpa Gus.
Whether you are a young woman or man and ever wanted to fly,
ever wanted to experience Alaska, ever thought the world wasn't
fair, you'll like this book. It has everything from first kisses to
volcanic eruptions. And be careful; you just might learn
something.

Biomedical Defense Principles to Counter DNA Deep Hacking presents
readers with a comprehensive look at the emerging threat of DNA
hacking. Dr. Rocky Termanini goes in-depth to uncover the erupting
technology being developed by a new generation of savvy bio-hackers
who have skills and expertise in biomedical engineering and
bioinformatics. The book covers the use of tools such as CRISPR for
malicious purposes, which has led agencies such as the U.S. Office
of the Director of National Intelligence to add gene editing to its
annual list of threats posed by "weapons of mass destruction and
proliferation." Readers will learn about the methods and possible
effects of bio-hacking attacks, and, in turn the best methods of
autonomic and cognitive defense strategies to detect, capture,
analyze, and neutralize DNA bio-hacking attacks, including the
versatile DNA symmetrical AI Cognitive Defense System (ACDS). DNA
bio-hackers plan to destroy, distort and contaminate confidential,
healthy DNA records and potentially create corrupted genes for
erroneous diagnosis of illnesses, disease genesis and even wrong
DNA fingerprinting for criminal forensics investigations.
