Defying time, Jack Breton crosses into a parallel world to regain Kate - the wife who, nine years earlier, was found raped and strangled in a lonely park. But, in the alternate time-stream Kate is married to his double, John. And for one husband to remain either Jack or John must die.

Sista Love was a chart-topping girl group that had it all—fame, fortune and failure. After three years apart, Harmony, Melody, and Lyric are forced back together after the death of their mother. Their forced reunion rekindled past hurt, lies, and deceit, but it is new lies, backstabbing, and jealousy that will bring the sisters to the brink of destruction. Harmony is piecing her life back together after her husband’s relapse back into addiction and his affair with her sister Melody. Now Harmony must decide if she will walk away or stand and fight. When she meets a handsome stranger, her decision will become that much harder. Will she become a two-timer, or will she give up on her marriage for good? Melody continues to throwing her money around to get what she wants. Still devastated by her ex-boyfriend’s blatant two-timing, Melody turns to her sister’s husband for comfort, but quickly realizes that he is only around because she is his constant supply of drugs and the fast life. With pressures mounting from all sides, Melody will have to figure out who she can trust. Will she risk it all to find love, or will her past come back to snatch her from her pedestal? Lyric is haunted by a secret she’s kept from Harmony and finds out the hard way that turning back to drugs to run from her problems has landed her in the worst predicament of her life. Will Lyric let her addiction, once again, take her to the brink of death, or will she embrace sobriety once and for all?

During the period from May 1957 to July 1958, four nuclear batiery powered timers were fabricated and tested from two basic designs in the time ranges of onesecond, three-second, and half-hour intervals. The timers were temperature-tested over a range of -65 to +165 F with accuracics over this temperature range from plus or minus 10 perceat to plus or minus 15 percent. Each unit has a volume of 10 cubic inches, and the timer can be initiated either by an explosive squib or a pull-out wire. At the end of the timing interval, the timer has ann output of 30,000 ergs. The cost of the program was,000. From the results of this development program, it appears quite feasible to build operable nuclear battery powered timers on a production basis.

Embedded systems are today, widely deployed in just about every piece of machinery from toasters to spacecraft. Embedded system designers face many challenges. They are asked to produce increasingly complex systems using the latest technologies, but these technologies are changing faster than ever. They are asked to produce better quality designs with a shorter time-to-market. They are asked to implement increasingly complex functionality but more importantly to satisfy numerous other constraints. To achieve the current goals of design, the designer must be aware with such design constraints and more importantly, the factors that have a direct effect on them.One of the challenges facing embedded system designers is the selection of the optimum processor for the application in hand; single-purpose, general-purpose or application specific. Microcontrollers are one member of the family of the application specific processors.The book concentrates on the use of microcontroller as the embedded system?s processor, and how to use it in many embedded system applications. The book covers both the hardware and software aspects needed to design using microcontroller.The book is ideal for undergraduate students and also the engineers that are working in the field of digital system design.Contents• Preface;• Process design metrics;• A systems approach to digital system design;• Introduction to microcontrollers and microprocessors;• Instructions and Instruction sets;• Machine language and assembly language;• System memory; Timers, counters and watchdog timer;• Interfacing to local devices / peripherals;• Analogue data and the analogue I/O subsystem;• Multiprocessor communications;• Serial Communications and Network-based interfaces.

With sample problems and solutions, this book demonstrates how teachers can incorporate nine problem solving strategies into any mathematics curriculum to help students succeed.
