Australian currency trader and devout fatalist Sebastian Swift waited his whole life to meet "the one." But when he finally bumped into French surf instructor Josie Moreau on the streets of New York, he had just received the prophecy that he had only nine years to live. Hardwired to believe that destiny is inevitable, Sebastian ignored the future and embraced the present as their passionate romance blossomed over a brilliant week in New York. But as the power of their love became apparent, so did the signs of his dark fate. Does he love her enough to walk away, or will he tempt fate? How far will Josie go to be with her pre-devoted love? Pre-Devoted is a thought-provoking contemporary romance about the wonder of true and eternal love and its relationship with free will.

Botanists and zoologists have recognized for centuries the specificity of various insects for plants, and entomolo gists have long been aware that insects defend themselves from predators by emitting repulsive odors. Only recently have chemists and biologists established a joint endeavor for studying the chemical relationships between plants and insects. The present symposium volume of the Phytochemical Society of North America's RECENT ADVANCES IN PHYTOCHEMISTRY consists of eight papers dealing with phytochemical relation ships between plants and their insect herbivores. The fifteenth P.S.N.A. annual symposium and meeting was held in August, 1975, on the campus of The University of South Florida, Tampa. The chemical defenses of apparent and unapparent plants were contrasted by Feeny. Rodreguiz and Levin illustrated parallel defense mechanisms of plants and insects and then Hendry, Kostelc, Hindenlang, Wichmann, Fix and Koreniowski discussed chemical messengers for both plants and insects. Subsequently Beck and Reese reviewed plant contributions to insect nutrition and metabolism. Indepth studies for the monarch butterfly-milkweed interaction were presented by Roeske, Seiber, Brower, and Moffitt and for the cotton boll weevil-cotton plant relationship by Hedin, Thompson, and Gueldner. In the latter portion of the symposium Rhoades and Cates presented a general theory concerning the coevolu tion of insects and plant antiherbivore chemistry.

Have you heard about the Metaverse? What exactly is the Metaverse? How can we make money with it? Do you want to get involved now, while it is still a new idea? If you want to know more then keep reading... The Metaverse can broadly be described as an online virtual environment where users can interact with the computing environment and other users. Metaverse is ever-expanding and is quickly moving on to other areas which will include things like cryptocurrencies, NFT's, and other investments. Metaverse is the future! It's planned to be the next big thing in Crypto, in fact many leaders claim its going to be the next stage of the Internet. Facebook (one of the biggest companies in the world) have so much trust in it they have changed their business name to "Meta"! In this Merverse book you will discover: Top Crypto fit with the Metaverse The Change of the Web Key concepts of the Metaverse New business models of the Web 3.0 Real estate investing in the Metaverse Altcoins and cryptocurrencies How to make a profit in the Metaverse Using the Metaverse for networking What exactly is the Metaverse? How can we make money with it? Virtual Reality in the Metaverse How Augmented Reality works in the Metaverse The investment of NFT's in the Metaverse Avoid Risks and Challenges in the Metaverse The Future of the Metaserve This Book contains all of the technological advancements that are hastening the breakdown of the physical-virtual divide. The metaverse is more than just virtual worlds; it's a place where the physical is transformed virtual through digital twins and mirror worlds, and the virtual is rendered tangible by data overlaying on physical locations and items via augmented reality and haptic, as well as 3D printing. This metaverse openness or interoperability will be a challenge for today's big digital corporations, who have built and operated private platforms where customers are essentially trapped in 'walled gardens, ' and their personal data is monetized. This is where cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Bitcoin, as well as blockchain technology, come into play. Blockchain, a distributed ledger, is naturally decentralized and, in theory, can give people more control over their data while also allowing small businesses to thrive online through smart contracts and other means. Cryptocurrencies incentivize users to maintain the blockchain for the greater good, based on codified laws and governance, resulting in a tokenized economy that threatens to disrupt everything from banks and legal companies to traditional government structures and organization.

In a land where magic is both an honor and a curse, finding one's way is not an easy thing. Some embrace the Dark, preying on the weak and consuming their fear. Many aspire to its power, intent on wielding it for good. And there are those who want little more than to rid themselves of it entirely, unsure of what they have become. But one thing is certain: among those who channel the Current there is little difference between hero and monster. When at last its ancient power surges through your hands, which will they call you?When wielders of the Dark decimate the protectors of the realm, and lead a horde of enemy warriors to regain the kingdoms they believe are rightly theirs, a group of unlikely friends finds itself in the middle of the fray. An outcast cursed to live her life in the shadows, a prisoner condemned to become a mage, and a young Halfling girl who longs for adventure, team together to pursue the malevolence that both threatens their existence and promises their salvation.

The Dharma Bums is a 1958 novel by Beat Generation author Jack Kerouac. The basis for the novel's semi-fictional accounts are events occurring years after the events of On the Road. The main characters are the narrator Ray Smith, based on Kerouac, and Japhy Ryder, based on the poet and essayist Gary Snyder, who was instrumental in Kerouac's introduction to Buddhism in the mid-1950s. The book concerns duality in Kerouac's life and ideals, examining the relationship of the outdoors, mountaineering, hiking, and hitchhiking through the West with his "city life" of jazz clubs, poetry readings, and drunken parties. The protagonist's search for a "Buddhist" context to his experiences (and those of others he encounters) recurrs throughout the story. The book had a significant influence on the Hippie counterculture of the 1960s.

Mario + Rabbids Realm Fight - AuditMario + Rabbids: Realm Fight is an unforeseen game that is brimming with shocks. Its XCOM-style, turn-based strategies ongoing interaction is just about the exact opposite thing I'd have anticipated from either Mario or Rabbids, however its absurdist beguile neutralizes the chances and it's undeniably more troublesome and meatier than you likely might suspect.

This book reflects and extends the great debates that schools, colleges, and universities are having in response to the profound moral conflicts and personal questions facing professionals today: What should we teach our students? What values should we communicate and nurture? What should be the role of the traditional liberal arts in professional education? How should schools and colleges respond to the demands of women and minorities for a more inclusive curriculum? The authors explore ongoing theoretical and practical considerations of graduate professional education through the ethical and social issues facing professionals in public service. Administrators, teachers, counselors, nurses, or lawyers are recognizing that they face similar questions about their personal and professional lives: Is it possible to sustain a set of fully human values as a practicing professional? As a member of a public organization, how does one deal with dilemmas involving conflicting priorities and ambiguous goals? The authors responses to these questions are presented as themes, describing connections between curriculum and pedagogy. They have designed an approach to ethical and social questions respectful of the contributions of adult learners and the need to provide diverse perspectives.
