Dylan Royce, ex-teen pop star, needs a sexy image makeover. His first adult solo album came out under his perfect, white-washed persona and tanked. Joining a band equally famous for their music and their between-the-sheets escapades is only the start. He needs to get raunchy. Sleep with a different girl every night. But there’s only one woman he wants, and she still sees him as a goody two-shoes boy-bander. Ariel Watson is the publicist in charge of turning Dylan into the sex-god every woman dreams of doing. Frankly, she doesn’t see the appeal. Until one hot kiss changes her mind. Now she wants to keep him for herself--without losing her job. Or losing Dylan the legions of drooling fans she’s supposed to be building for him. Turning bad got Dylan the woman of his dreams. But how will he choose between her...or his career catapulting him back to superstar status?
Olympics. Olympians. What talent, what honour, what glory, what respect; belonging, only to a selected few. Why can't every human be that amazing? What's limiting them? What's missing in their lives? Why can't every human become the dream idol that they've always wished to be? In a journey across infinite stars, I seek the answers to humanity's greatest strengths and weaknesses. Timeless explorations presents opportunities to understand humanity. But what disturbs me most, is the many distressing voices that goes unheard, only to fade away with time or … life. Why do I hear cries, echoing across many worlds? From where do these voices emerge? For whom or what do they cry? Are those cries of pain, from cries of losses? Or cries of disappointment, in cries of hopelessness? It's hard to say, too many to count. Every cry is different, unique to each story. All I can sense, is their wailing sufferings; arising, from the worldly imperfections. It is my humble wish is to free 'everything' from suffering, in a world where all will be loved the same way. And so, begins the tale of a hermit and a fool, in their quest to discover and forge a new perfection; for the sake of humanity; for the sake of our beloved mother nature; for the sake of all that lives; and for the sake of the universe that gives us hope and life. Wonder no more if I am the hermit, because I might just be, the fool you never expected. So promise me, read me, understand me, accept me, and seek the ultimate truth to perfection in this fantastic voyage across the stars and galaxies and beyond. Together, let us begin our journey in finding your newfound strength, and bring more awareness and wisdom to everyone as we challenge the the devil on our shoulders with our new awakening and enlightenment. Together, we'll not fail! With love, for all that lives! To become, the best Olympians we can ever be! Love, Respect, Unity

Do you want to learn The Lost Secret of Speaking Perfect English? The Moving Mouth Dictionary technique provides a very simple approach to perfecting English speaking and pronunciation. The book takes a down-to-earth approach for speaking clear English, as it breathes some fresh air into the stuffy corridors of academic learning. It is geared to help students and business people speak impressive and naturally clear English, taking much of the guessing out of pronunciation and spelling. English will become more of a physical activity, rather than a cerebral academic subject. The key is in identifying and improving specifi c types of reverse and forward mouth movements, actions based on using simple vertical mouth movement notations that have simple associations with key phonetics sounds for specifi c letters. The technique’s forward and reverse mouth movements combined with a natural English rhythm also helps trigger and access vocabulary and verbs, while aiding in word retention, fl uency and auto correcting. The book features a dictionary of over 11,000 words, including some of the most diffi cult words in the English language, which have been broken down, putting these notations into “mouthables.” The process draws heavily on early humans’ natural ability to howl and growl, using their mouths vertically. Hence, the lost connection between our near ancestors can aid our ability to speak clear English, an ability we have lost and need to rediscover.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the theory and practical development of metamaterial-based perfect absorbers (MMPAs). It begins with a brief history of MMPAs which reviews the various theoretical and experimental milestones in their development. The theoretical background and fundamental working principles of MMPAs are then discussed, providing the necessary background on how MMPAs work and are constructed. There then follows a section describing how different MMPAs are designed and built according to the operating frequency of the electromagnetic wave, and how their behavior is changed. Methods of fabricating and characterizing MMPAs are then presented. The book elaborates on the performance and characteristics of MMPAs, including electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT). It also covers recent advances in MMPAs and their applications, including multi-band, broadband, tunability, polarization independence and incidence independence. Suitable for graduate students in optical sciences and electronic engineering, it will also serve as a valuable reference for active researchers in these fields.
