Unseen Messages

"Instincts are what keep us safe from fate. Ignoring them can change your life forever." Fame and fortune arrived overnight and after months on the road with her singing tour, all Estelle craves is peace. Tired and ready for paradise, she travels to Fiji to recuperate. Stubborn and surly, Galloway is avoided by most--which is exactly the way he likes it. However, he's done spending his life in regret and hopes to find redemption in the tropical wilderness. Together, they board the flight that changes their fate forever. Crash landing on a deserted island, they not only have to figure out how to survive with no skills and daily dangers--learning how to fish, find water, and build shelter--but also inherit two children who look to them to keep them alive. However, staying alive might be the least of Galloway and Estelle's problems. As days creep to months and rescue doesn't find them, their desire for each other ignites. They started as strangers. They grew to be friends. They fought the desire to be lovers. Lust can be the most beautiful thing. Love the most rewarding. But not on an island where life hangs by a thread and giving into temptation can kill you. Can they survive being forgotten or will love be their ultimate undoing? From New York Times Bestseller Pepper Winters comes a timeless love story answering the question of what happens when everything is stripped away. Standalone.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th Annual International Conference on Wireless Algorithms, Systems, and Applications, WASA 2009, held in Boston, MA, USA, in August 2009. The 36 revised full papers presented together with 15 invited papers and 7 workshop papers were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. Providing a forum for researchers and practitioners worldwide, the papers address current research and development efforts of various issues in the area of algorithms, systems and applications for current and next generation infrastructure and wireless networks. They are divided in topical sections on applications, experimentation, power management; coverage, detection, and topology control; routing, querying, and data collection; localization, security, and services; scheduling and resource management; and online social networks, applications, and systems.

Master the Powerful Python 3 Standard Library through Real Code Examples “The genius of Doug’s approach is that with 15 minutes per week, any motivated programmer can learn the Python Standard Library. Doug’s guided tour will help you flip the switch to fully power-up Python’s batteries.” –Raymond Hettinger, Distinguished Python Core Developer The Python 3 Standard Library contains hundreds of modules for interacting with the operating system, interpreter, and Internet–all extensively tested and ready to jump-start application development. Now, Python expert Doug Hellmann introduces every major area of the Python 3.x library through concise source code and output examples. Hellmann’s examples fully demonstrate each feature and are designed for easy learning and reuse. You’ll find practical code for working with text, data structures, algorithms, dates/times, math, the file system, persistence, data exchange, compression, archiving, crypto, processes/threads, networking, Internet capabilities, email, developer and language tools, the runtime, packages, and more. Each section fully covers one module, with links to additional resources, making this book an ideal tutorial and reference. The Python 3 Standard Library by Example introduces Python 3.x’s new libraries, significant functionality changes, and new layout and naming conventions. Hellmann also provides expert porting guidance for moving code from 2.x Python standard library modules to their Python 3.x equivalents. Manipulate text with string, textwrap, re (regular expressions), and difflib Use data structures: enum, collections, array, heapq, queue, struct, copy, and more Implement algorithms elegantly and concisely with functools, itertools, and contextlib Handle dates/times and advanced mathematical tasks Archive and data compression Understand data exchange and persistence, including json, dbm, and sqlite Sign and verify messages cryptographically Manage concurrent operations with processes and threads Test, debug, compile, profile, language, import, and package tools Control interaction at runtime with interpreters or the environment

Will war and violence ever end? Are we at the end of a cosmic cycle? Is our planet destined to self-destruct? How can we collectively create a better world? How can we make the earth peaceful, beautiful and abundant? The angel Seraphin answers all these questions. He is very direct, yet always compassed by compassion. While some of earths inhabitants live in their own microcosms, dominated by their daily lives, a much bigger scenario is playing out on the world stage which will force us towards a wider and completely different focus. We will experience great loss, as well as great joy. Through his telepathic messages, the angel Seraphin helps us navigate these very difficult waters, lifting us out of resignation, convincing us of our own divine potential, and inspiring us to take action. Part 2 of this volume consists of a PIONEER EXERCISE MANUAL on how to help others overcome trauma and interact constructively. Part three contains newly received nuggets of advice, each starting with the sentence THE WORLD WILL BECOME PEACEFUL, BEAUTIFUL AND ABUNDANT IF. Your words and thoughts travel universes. Your acts of courage and kindness can inspire a million onlookers. Your unconditional love can travel to far flung galaxies from one second to the next - Seraphin THE COMPLETE SERAPHIN MESSAGES A very enlightening read for anyone who has the distinct impression that there is something terribly wrong with this world, and who wants to find out the true reasons, as well as the true solutions which are in accordance with the GREATER COSMIC PLAN.

This book describes trends in email scams and offers tools and techniques to identify such trends. It also describes automated countermeasures based on an understanding of the type of persuasive methods used by scammers. It reviews both consumer-facing scams and enterprise scams, describing in-depth case studies relating to Craigslist scams and Business Email Compromise Scams. This book provides a good starting point for practitioners, decision makers and researchers in that it includes alternatives and complementary tools to the currently deployed email security tools, with a focus on understanding the metrics of scams. Both professionals working in security and advanced-level students interested in privacy or applications of computer science will find this book a useful reference.

Earth is an unprecedented emergency operation - an experimentation ground for the rehabilitation of humans. We are witnessing a struggle against a worldwide orchestration of minds, a battle between dark and light. The angel Seraphin examines the causes of the problems on our world, stipulating that the icy blast of truth will shatter our previous beliefs. Earth will become a place of peace and beauty if we recognise our Divine origin, live our personal missions and surrender to Divine Law. In an extensive question and answer session, the angel Seraphin provides answers to over 90 questions posed by seekers of truth. These answers were received telepathically by artist and author, Rosie Jackson. This fifth volume of The Complete Seraphin Messages also includes Seraphin Messages 431-450, the most recent to date. These offer help in desperate times, preparing us for transition to a better world which will be the inevitable result of our own spiritual progression. He states the following: If you know 100 percent that you are walking in the right direction, and if you know 100 percent that you are benefitting humanity with every footstep and every breath, then you will be happy always. Your actions, if they are guided by the DIVINE WITHIN, are the guiding lights which will rally society when it reaches its deepest collective trauma. Samples of questions asked and answered: Does love heal? Can meditation help the abused? How can I access divine wisdom? Is euthanasia ever ethical or justifiable? How can we leave our human failings behind? Is it possible to overcome traumatic experiences? How can violent prisoners change their behaviour? What should we know about the nature of the human body? What help can we expect from celestial observers of our planet?
