With nothing but the clothes on his back—and something horrific snapping at his heels—Jack Winter fled his rural Georgia home when he was still just a boy. Watching the world he knew vanish in a trucker’s rearview mirror, he thought he was leaving an unspeakable nightmare behind forever. But years later, the bright new future he’s built suddenly turns pitch black, as something fiendishly familiar looms dead ahead. When Jack, his wife, and their two small children survive a violent car crash, it seems like a miracle. But Jack knows what he saw on the road that night, and it wasn’t divine intervention. The profound evil from his past won’t let them die...at least not quickly. It’s back, and it’s hungry; ready to make Jack pay for running, to work its malignant magic on his angelic youngest daughter, and to whisper a chilling promise: I’ve always been here, and I’ll never leave.

One hundred and twenty-five souls remain, but not for long—a mysterious infection is turning the air they breathe and the water they drink into deadly hazards. Twelve volunteers have been sent out to look for help—or even any signs of life—and none have returned. It now falls to Eva, a former cop, and Jim, the flotilla’s elected leader, to keep the fragile peace among the inhabitants. Humanity is depending on them for its survival—together, can they find the answers in time? Stay tuned for Soil, the next book in the series, which will be released in Spring 2016!

As conspiracies rage in the war for Ethar, Kricket’s so-called allies want to use her as a spy. Even those held closest cannot be trusted—including Astrid, her sister, and Giffen, a member of a mysterious order with a hidden agenda. But Kricket’s resolve will not allow her to be used as anyone’s pawn, even as the Brotherhood sharpens its plans to cut out her heart. As the destiny prophesied by her mother approaches, Kricket will backtrack through her fiery future to reshape it.

HARVEY Netherlands Institute of Ecology, Wageningen, The Netherlands, and Vrije University, Amsterdam, The Netherlands Lez Rayman-BACCHUS University of Winchester Business School, Winchester, UK Abstract: Aim: This paper reflects on the COVID-19 epidemic from the perspective of small probabilities and the difficulty of predicting similar events. Against the background of basic economic principles, the importance of the precautionary principle for crisis management is discussed, as well as potential consequences of this epidemic. Findings: The authors argue that whilst the epidemic as such was unexpected, in future countries should be prepared for such stochastic events to happen. This requires a precautionary approach. When society is not prepared for such a calamity, or waits too long to implement measures to deal with it, the social and economic costs may be very high – much higher than ‘hedging bets’ and losing. The article reflects on different issues which are meant for further discussion on unpredictable future threats. One important issue is the uncertainty created by this event. This increases the likeliness that something unexpected can appear in the near future, creating the need for research and discussion on public and government responses to these events. Being aware of such challenges increases the likeliness of 1 This paper is non-refereed, as it reflects on the actual situation.

  • Why Wonder Woman Matters
    Why Wonder Woman Matters When I was a kid, being a hero seemed like the easiest thing in the world to be- A Blue Beetle quote from the DC Comics publication The OMAC Project. Introduction The superhero is one of modern American culture’s most popular and pervasive myths. Though the primary medium, the comic book, is often derided as juvenile or material fit for illiterates the superhero narrative maintains a persistent presence in popular culture through films, television, posters and other mediums. There is a great power in the myth of the superhero. The question “Why does Wonder Woman matter?” could be answered simply. Wonder Woman matters because she is a member of this pantheon of modern American gods. Wonder Woman, along with her cohorts Batman and Superman represent societal ideals and provide colorful reminders of how powerful these ideals can be.1 This answer is compelling, but it ignores Wonder Woman’s often turbulent publication history. In contrast with titles starring Batman or Superman, Wonder Woman comic books have often sold poorly. Further, Wonder Woman does not have quite the presence that Batman and Superman both share in popular culture.2 Any other character under similar circumstances—poor sales, lack of direction and near constant revisions—would have been killed off or quietly faded into the background. Yet, Wonder Woman continues to persist as an important figure both within her comic universe and in our popular consciousness. “Why does Wonder Woman matter?” To answer this question an understanding of the superhero and their primary medium, the comic book, is required, Wonder Woman is a comic book character, and her existence in the popular consciousness largely depends on how she is presented within the conventions of the comic book superhero narrative.

  • IDENTIFYING EXOPLANETS with DEEP LEARNING II: TWO NEW SUPER-EARTHS UNCOVERED by a NEURAL NETWORK in K2 DATA Anne Dattilo1,†, Andrew Vanderburg1,?, Christopher J
    Preprint typeset using LATEX style emulateapj v. 12/16/11 IDENTIFYING EXOPLANETS WITH DEEP LEARNING II: TWO NEW SUPER-EARTHS UNCOVERED BY A NEURAL NETWORK IN K2 DATA Anne Dattilo1,y, Andrew Vanderburg1,?, Christopher J. Shallue2, Andrew W. Mayo3,z, Perry Berlind4, Allyson Bieryla4, Michael L. Calkins4, Gilbert A. Esquerdo4, Mark E. Everett5, Steve B. Howell6, David W. Latham4, Nicholas J. Scott6, Liang Yu7 ABSTRACT For years, scientists have used data from NASA's Kepler Space Telescope to look for and discover thousands of transiting exoplanets. In its extended K2 mission, Kepler observed stars in various regions of sky all across the ecliptic plane, and therefore in different galactic environments. Astronomers want to learn how the population of exoplanets are different in these different environments. However, this requires an automatic and unbiased way to identify the exoplanets in these regions and rule out false positive signals that mimic transiting planet signals. We present a method for classifying these exoplanet signals using deep learning, a class of machine learning algorithms that have become popular in fields ranging from medical science to linguistics. We modified a neural network previously used to identify exoplanets in the Kepler field to be able to identify exoplanets in different K2 campaigns, which range in galactic environments. We train a convolutional neural network, called AstroNet-K2, to predict whether a given possible exoplanet signal is really caused by an exoplanet or a false positive. AstroNet-K2 is highly successful at classifying exoplanets and false positives, with accuracy of 98% on our test set. It is especially efficient at identifying and culling false positives, but for now, still needs human supervision to create a complete and reliable planet candidate sample.

The purpose of this research is to adapt the approaches used by prominent and influential writers and artists in the American superhero/action comic-book field to create an engaging Australian hero comic book. Further, the aim of this thesis is to bridge the gap between the lack of academic writing on the professional practice of the Australian comic industry. In order to achieve this, I explored and learned the methods these prominent and professional US writers and artists use. Compared to the American industry, the creating of comic books in Australia has rarely been documented, particularly in a formal capacity or from a contemporary perspective. The process I used was to navigate through the research and studio practice from the perspective of a solo artist with an interest to learn, and to develop into an artist with a firmer understanding of not only the medium being engaged, but the context in which the medium is being created.

    Transcript Prepared By the Clerk of the Legislature Transcriber's Office Judiciary Committee February 28, 2013 [LB298 LB390 LB472 LB608 LB610] The Committee on Judiciary met at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 28, 2013, in Room 1113 of the State Capitol, Lincoln, Nebraska, for the purpose of conducting a public hearing on LB472, LB608, LB610, LB298, and LB390. Senators present: Brad Ashford, Chairperson; Steve Lathrop, Vice Chairperson; Ernie Chambers; Mark Christensen; Colby Coash; Al Davis; Amanda McGill; and Les Seiler. Senators absent: None. SENATOR LATHROP: (Recorder malfunction)...Judiciary Committee. My name is Steve Lathrop. I am the Vice Chair of this esteemed committee. We are going to hear, it looks like, five bills today, beginning with Senator Karpisek's...oh, flying lanterns. SENATOR McGILL: Oh, boy, been here before. (Laugh) SENATOR LATHROP: It will be like Groundhog Day today. Pardon me? When you go up the page will take it from you. Thanks for filling it out. Yeah, so for those of you that haven't been here before let me start with a couple of ground rules. First, turn off your cell phones or put them on vibrate so they're not interrupting the hearing. Second, we will take the bills in the order indicated outside. As we take the bills, the senator will introduce the bill, followed by proponents, followed, thereby, by opponents, then neutral testimony, and then the senator closes. Here's the thing about Judiciary Committee: If you haven't been here before, we use the light system. You'll have a green light when you start talking which should begin with your name and spell your last name.
