Hey look! Over the hills...it's big...it's weird...it's..."It Came From Left Field"! Like an other- worldly saucer hovering over the city, Randy Halford's 11th cartoon book (his Freshman effort with Writers Republic) dazes readers by returning from a three year hiatus. Its mission? Demolish the funny bone like Godzilla demolishes Tokyo. Novelty gags spoofed on Broadway! Cows breaking into song! Insects posing as lamps! Unenthused breakfast cereal characters! "Beware of..." signs satirized! Chickens ponder the universal joke of crossing the road! It's all here! But don't flee in panic...read the book and have some MONSTER laughs!
This is a provocative account of the astounding new answers to the most basic philosophical question: Where did the universe come from and how will it end?
The three volume set LNAI 7506, LNAI 7507 and LNAI 7508 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Intelligent Robotics and Applications, ICIRA 2012, held in Montreal, Canada, in October 2012. The 197 revised full papers presented were thoroughly reviewed and selected from 271 submissions. They present the state-of-the-art developments in robotics, automation and mechatronics. This volume covers the topics of adaptive control systems; automotive systems; estimation and identification; intelligent visual systems; application of differential geometry in robotic mechanisms; unmanned systems technologies and applications; new development on health management, fault diagnosis, and fault-tolerant control; biomechatronics; intelligent control of mechanical and mechatronic systems.
As toxins gradually build up in the body, health issues can begin to appear. Healthy tissues show a different field than unhealthy tissue, and Field Control Therapy, or FCT, works with such energy fields. Steven Tonsager, one of the most active practitioners of FCT, shares his work, which led him to form theories about the power of energy medicine in treating patients and his own life. Although Steven was influenced by FCT founder Dr. Savely Yurkovsky, Dr. David Hawkins, and Dr. William Tiller, he explores new territory in the book, giving FCT practitioners and others powerful, practical tools and strategies to uncover insights into the cause and treatments of various health issues. In The Powers of Attention, Attraction, and Intention in Field Control Therapy: My Pathway of Adventure, Discovery, and Healing, Steven offers the following: • New ideas to help patients understand differences between conventional and informational medicine by providing clinical examples. • New methods for FCT practitioners to test patients to improve results, as well as new ways to make FCT remedies and administer them to patients. • Additional concepts to connect FCT testing with toxicological principles. • Practical methods to apply MEMON technology for patients with sensitivity to electromagnetic fields produced by technology. Steven, who hopes his book will inspire others to integrate FCT into their professional and personal lives, also details his path of discovery during his work with patients in his sometimes irreverent style, describing the transformation in his thinking after administering more than 10,000 FCT tests. Those findings led to discoveries explored in the last portion of the book, going beyond current FCT methods and theories.
**THE MILLION COPY BESTSELLER** 'Rattling. Heartbreaking. Beautiful,' Atul Gawande, bestselling author of Being Mortal What makes life worth living in the face of death? At the age of thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decade's training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, the next he was a patient struggling to live. When Breath Becomes Air chronicles Kalanithi's transformation from a medical student asking what makes a virtuous and meaningful life into a neurosurgeon working in the core of human identity - the brain - and finally into a patient and a new father. Paul Kalanithi died while working on this profoundly moving book, yet his words live on as a guide to us all. When Breath Becomes Air is a life-affirming reflection on facing our mortality and on the relationship between doctor and patient, from a gifted writer who became both. 'A vital book about dying. Awe-inspiring and exquisite. Obligatory reading for the living' Nigella Lawson
Recent discoveries in Quantum Mechanics have proved that there is no discrete particle or solid chunk of anything in the whole Physical Universe. It is all standing waves arising from the seething zero-point field created by cosmic beings like you and me. The properties of mass, inertia, charge and gravity are the result of space resonances produced by zero-point scalar waves. This book with color pictures details the theory, models and mathematics of zero-point scalar waves, gravity, magnetism, biophotonics, the creation of 200 trillion year old orbs that we take with us between bodies, the source of evil, the basis of vibrational healing and psychic abilities, who you really are, how hypnotism works, how your personal orb affects you, our prison planet, and how to photograph orbs. Your orb is an insidious and diabolical quantum computer that disables you and ruins your lives. If you want to know how things work in this and other universes, read this book.

The polarization of light is the key to obtaining a wealth of essential information that lies encoded in the electromagnetic radiation from cosmic objects. Spectropolarimetry and imaging polarimetry provide powerful diagnostics of the physical conditions in astrophysical plasmas, which cannot be obtained via conventional spectroscopy. Whilst its application to other fields of astrophysics is still at an early stage of development, spectropolarimetry is being used with great success in solar physics. The book contains the lectures delivered at the XII Canary Islands Winter School of Astrophysics. Written by eight prestigious astrophysics researchers, it covers the physics of polarization, polarized radiation diagnostics of solar magnetic fields, stellar magnetic fields, polarization insights for active galactic nuclei, compact objects and accretion disks, astronomical masers and their polarization, infrared-submillimeter spectropolarimetry, and instrumentation for astrophysical spectropolarimetry. This timely volume will provide graduate students and researchers with an unprecedented introduction to the field of Astrophysical Spectropolarimetry.
