This book is fiction, a story about finding that we are important parts and members of the universe; our existence is not transient but infinite, and we are not worthless but precious. Through the love stories and characters' philosophical and psychological dialogues, the book also discusses human subconsciousness's duplicity — the constructive and destructive nature. Nietzsche described this duplicity as Dionysian and Apollonian in his Birth of Tragedy. Our destructive emotion, the dark side of human beings, is not a sin but a constant effort to find light in the darkness within us. It is an impetus for finding our renewal self, creative power, within us, since creation is a progression from destruction — just like nature repeats the destruction and birth process in the fall and spring.
I was still standing in the ocean in the midst of the moonlight. In a far distance, I dimly saw layers of long white waves rushing toward me. The white waves looked like a march of cavalry soldiers dressed in white uniforms marching toward the enemy. In my mind, I ran out to the cavalry soldiers and joined them on the back row as a rookie. The general commanding the cavalry on the front line gave an order. “The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So, let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.” [Roman 13:12] The General, on a white horse, led the cavalry soldiers, piercing through the arrows, toward the enemy line, shouting vigorously. “To victory!” Following the general, I shout out aloud along with other soldiers. “To victory!” And impetuously I recited the Bible verses that came into my mind. “I saw Heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice He judges and wages war.” [Revelation 19:11] The new soldiers continued to join, and the General with the white horse stood still, crying. “To victory!” “To victory!”
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this convenient volume provides comprehensive analysis of the legislation and rules that determine civil procedure and practice in Singapore. Lawyers who handle transnational matters will appreciate the book’s clear explanation of distinct terminology and application of rules. The structure follows the classical chapters of a handbook on civil procedure: beginning with the judicial organization of the courts, jurisdiction issues, a discussion of the various actions and claims, and then moving to a review of the proceedings as such. These general chapters are followed by a discussion of the incidents during proceedings, the legal aid and legal costs, and the regulation of evidence. There are chapters on seizure for security and enforcement of judgments, and a final section on alternative dispute resolution. Facts are presented in such a way that readers who are unfamiliar with specific terms and concepts in varying contexts will fully grasp their meaning and significance. Succinct, scholarly, and practical, this book will prove a valuable time-saving tool for business and legal professionals alike. Lawyers representing parties with interests in Singapore will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its comparative value as a contribution to the study of civil procedure in the international context.

Population growth and global health disparities for many reproductive and perinatal outcomes are but a few of the pressing issues facing public health today. Despite growing interest in the field, formal training in reproductive and perinatal epidemiology remains limited, with few available textbooks aimed at providing an overview of the field. In response to this need, faculty from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health & Human Development (NICHD) and CIHR's Institute of Human Development, Child and Youth Health (IHDCYH) developed an intensive, competitive, Summer Institute in Reproductive and Perinatal Epidemiology. The curriculum of this Summer Institute has been developed into a textbook to provide students and researchers with a working knowledge of the substantive and methodologic issues underlying reproductive and perinatal epidemiology. Reproductive and Perinatal Epidemiology offers a core curriculum that addresses the epidemiology of major reproductive and perinatal outcomes. From human fecundity to birth and neonatal outcomes, the subject is approached from as international a perspective as possible, and the unique methodologic issues underlying each outcome are discussed. Developed by leading researchers in collaboration with their students in response to their needs and concerns, this is the definitive textbook on the subject.

Serpulid polychaetes are a unique and highly specialised group of marine segmented worms that have adapted to inhabiting self-secreted calcareous tubes attached to a wide range of hard substrates. These animals are found across all depths and habitats of the world’s oceans, and some form mutually beneficial associations with live corals. The genus Hydroides is of special concern and importance, as it is not only the largest, but also one of the most ecologically and economically important groups of marine invertebrates because it includes notorious biofoulers and common bioinvaders that travel around the world hitchhiking on ships’ hulls. This is the first fully illustrated guide to this notorious serpulid genus of calcareous tubeworms, providing a comprehensive diagnostic treatment of all known species of the genus Hydroides. This important reference provides reliable identification tools to distinguish Australian tubeworms from potential alien invaders that constantly arrive from overseas and threaten Australia’s maritime transport, trade and mariculture.

This book offers insights on how to reclaim and get more joy from the caregiving love journey.

Deeply personal, in-the-moment anecdotes drawn from her journals add to the honest, moving testimony that this book delivers.
About the Book There is so much in life going on right now and it’s hard for some to see their way forward, but this book will show them—step by step. Journey to Success: A Systematic Review explores the concept of achieving success methodically, using empirical data showing how, as well as the author’s personal life experiences of overcoming setbacks and adversity, which allows the reader to see that data in action, relate, and practice. The purpose of the book is to inspire and motivate the readers to not give up when faced with obstacles, but instead to reflect on past successful experiences (“and we all have them from as way back as learning to walk”) and use those experiences to problem-solve their way to overcoming adversity. Readers will be able to relate to what the author has discovered in her journey of successes and put in practice in their current situations, using the resources that they have available. This book is unique in the sense that the author provides scientific data to support her assertions based on her experiences, and empirical data to support the overcoming techniques she has developed. About the Author Dr. Eunice Moseley’s hobbies are singing (“I recorded two albums for family and friends”) and dancing. At times she is inspired to write poems (“published two books of poems”) or draw (“designed a WEBB radio station’s new logo”). Moseley’s special interest is in uplifting others. Her ULMII conference has launched many careers, and she has interviewed icons that include Will Smith, Magic Johnson, Ne-Yo, Ciara, Queen Latifah, Gladys Knight, Bruce Willis, Mark Wahlberg, Shirley Caesar, Marvin Sapp, Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington and many others. Moseley is a widow with two daughters, three grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. She is a regular member of the Public Relations Society of America.

A performance poet, Andrada combines the theatrical qualities of voice and image in this, her first published collection, affirming the female body as a site of vulnerability and power.
