On yö. Taivas on tähtikirkas. Laskuvarjo näkyy mustana läikkänä taivaalla. Hunter McBride liukuu pimeyden turvin viidakon puunlatvojen yllä. Kun hän laskeutuu pienen lääkäriaseman lähelle, häntä odottavat entisten sairaalarakennusten palaneet rauniot… ja ruumiit. Hunterin on löydettävä todistaja – sairaanhoitaja Sarah Burdett, joka oli radiolla hälyttänyt apua ja kertonut verilöylystä. Sarah on tietämättään ainoa, joka voi estää maailmanlaajuisen katastrofin. Hänellä on hallussaan todiste tappavasta taudista… Aika – ja koko maailman aika – on kulumassa loppuun. Mutta Hunter, joka on haudannut menneisyytensä ja tunteensa aikoja sitten tullakseen täydelliseksi soturiksi, ei olekaan ainoa, joka haluaa löytää Sarah Burdettin…

Water gardening is making a big splash in today's landscapes. Called the fastest-growing part of the landscape industry today, the installation of water features in the landscape is a multi-billion dollar market. It's easy to see why. Splashing fountains make hot days seem a bit cooler. Basins of water reflect the blue sky, puffy clouds, and colorful fall leaves. Naturalistic ponds and waterfalls attract birds and butterflies to backyards. And tiny tabletop fountains offer soothing sounds that drown out neighborhood noise. Water Garden Idea Book brings these ideas to life, providing more than 300 photos of all types of water features--with tips for design and placement so that they become striking focal points or soothing and subtle additions for any setting. From ponds and streams to pools and water stairs, fountains, containers, and bubbling urns, Water Garden Idea Book has it all. Special emphasis is given to siting all types of water features and how to install a water feature yourself. Extensive resource list is included.

Self-help organizations and charities were the most numerous, but least-studied of pressure groups to emerge during perestroika . This book examines the social exclusion experienced before 1985 by non-working citizens, studies the pre-1985 disabled people's movement and its numerous unofficial, but non-dissident organizations, discusses why the Gorbachev leadership adopted the non-Soviet concept of 'charity', analyses the failure of local authorities after 1985 to stave off pluralism and defeat the voluntary organizations, and assesses how successfully the latter built the foundations of a civil society.

The Davis Inlet area is underlain by Archean gneisses and younger igneous rocks which range in composition from gabbroic to granitic. Two granites and a volcanic unit were sampled during the field season of 1978. -- Detailed petrographic and geochemical studies indicate the non-peralkaline nature of the clinopyroxene-fayalite granite and the peralkaline character of the arfvedsonite-riebeckite granite and its associated volcanics. Mineralogical characteristics such as the presence of poikolitic aegirine-augite and arfvedsonite-riebeckite with needles of riebeckite nucleating on grain boundaries, and extensive albitization reflect the peralkaline nature and intense volatile activity in the peralkaline granite. -- Chemical characteristics such as agpaitic indices (Molecular Na2O+ K2O/A12O3), normative acmite and sodium metasilicate and trace element behaviour can be used to separate the granitic suites according to their peralkaline and non-peralkaline natures. -- The enigma of the Nuiklavick volcanic suite has been dealt with primarily on the basis of trace (including RE) element data. Extreme enrichment of Zr, Nb, Y, Th, Zn, Ni and the REE along with severely depleted Ba, Sr, Ca, and Mg are a strong indication of a very peralkaline character. Trace element trends and concentrations observed in samples examined cannot be explained by conventional differentiation models. Systematic trace element enrichment patterns indicate a high degree of continuity between the peralkaline granite and volcanic samples reflecting transport of elements to the top of the magma chamber as cationic complexes in a fluid/volatile phase. From the data observed in this study and in others it is possible to suggest that over saturated peralkaline rocks reflect intense volatile activity which produces their characteristic petrography and geochemistry.

Recent work in human and machine vision has increasingly focused on the problem of scene recognition. Scene types are largely defined by the actions one might typically do there: an office is a place someone would typically "work". I introduce the SUN Action database (short for "Scene UNderstanding - Action"): the first effort to collect and analyze free-response data from human subjects about the typical actions associated with different scene types. Responses were gathered on Mechanical Turk for twenty images per catgory, each depicting a characteristic view of one of 397 different scene types. The distribution of phrases is shown to be heavy-tailed and Zipf-like, whereas the distribution of semantic roots is not Zipf-like. Categories strongly associated with particular tasks or actions are shown to have lower overall diversity of responses. A hierarchical clustering analysis reveals a heterogeneous clustering structure, with some categories readily grouping together, and other categories remaining apart even at coarse clustering levels. Finally, two simple classifiers are introduced for predicting scene types from associated actions: a nearest centroid classifier, and an empirical maximum likelihood classifier. Both classifiers demonstrate greater than 50% classification performance in a 397-way classification task.
