When Jesses wife asks for a divorce, he is fired from his dream job, and his bookie threatens to kill him over a huge debtall on the same day. Sadly, Jesses nightmare is just getting started. Shortly after skipping the country in an attempt to set things right, he stumbles upon a secret he was somehow destined to discover. For some unknown reason, the secreta priceless relic stolen by world explorer Ibn Battutah from a Buddhist temple seven hundred years agocrossed three continents and passed through numerous hands to somehow end up in Jesses unlikely lap. The relics discovery sets in motion a series of events that will either reunite Jesse with his wife or end both of their lives rather unpleasantly. Jesse wants it all, but as usual, everything he wants seems impossible. He desperately hopes to win back the heart of his wife while seeking the relic, all the while evading both the Chinese mafia and his murderous bookie. In order to redeem himself and be reunited with his love, Jesse must realize what is most important to him and learn how to stay true to the newly learned Buddhist fourth virtue.
Kelli “Gus” Gustafson, the youngest and most determined officer on the Tarpon Springs police force, has a problem most people would love to have: she’s beautiful. Though in her eyes, beauty has always been nothing more than a huge impediment. Although she achieved the highest marksmanship score ever recorded at the Tampa police academy, her chief regards her as just another pretty face—until he unexpectedly promotes her to detective. Her new partner, Gordon “Gordo” Pruitt, is a crass but brilliant detective with the personality of an out of control dumpster fire. Immediately upon accepting her promotion, Gus and Gordo fall into the case of a lifetime. A sunken German U-boat is discovered just offshore of their touristy seaside town. Clues lead to the conclusion that a dangerous secret weapon created by Nazi scientists was placed aboard the U-boat during World War II. Now, the still deadly weapon has just been removed from the U-boat and is hidden somewhere in Tarpon Springs. To make matters worse, terrorists seeking the weapon appear and quickly prove they’re willing to do anything to attain it. Gus must figure out how to best work with her partner and leverage her world-class marksmanship skills to find the weapon and eliminate the bloodthirsty terrorists as the lives of all Americans hang in the balance.
The night before twenty-one-year-old Carly Shanahan takes her little brother and three friends on a three-day caving expedition, Sanford, the elderly eccentric owner of the cave, begins to quote quatrains written by Nostradamus. The next day, shortly after entering the cave, an earthquake traps the group inside with the old man and his notebook. Twenty miles away, a cluster of prisoners on a work release program inside a coalmine plans an escape. Just as the prisoners, led by a vicious psychopath, brutally murder two guards, the same earthquake also traps them underground. Days later, when both groups finally escape from their subterranean confinement, the world is a very different place. Is it possible Sanford is actually a conduit, prophesizing from the past? Did he somehow know that world-changing events were about to unfold? Carly must use Sanford and Nostradamuss quatrains as a guide to find a way to save her companions while also somehow preventing the extinction of mankind. She might not be prepared to play the role thrust upon her, but the fate of her friends and the world now depends on her ability to make the right decisions.

While deep in the north woods on a fishing trip, Wilson Tuck Tucker and his best friend, Bob Haney, stumble across a crashed twin engine airplane with two dead bodies in the cockpit. After the good Samaritans notify the local authorities, they discover the plane contains an earth-shattering secret that, if released, could change the world as they know it and prompt even honest men to do whatever it takes to obtain it. Tuck and Bob quickly realize that their lives are in danger now that their location is known. A few hours after the men report the wreckage, a pontoon plane lands on an isolated lake next to the crash site. Tuck and Bob have no idea if the men aboard have evil intent and are seeking the secret or if the passengers are from the government to investigate the crash. After Tuck and Bob quickly formulate a plan they hope will assure their safety, now only time will tell if the two will be able to survive what awaits themand keep a powerful secret from getting into the wrong hands. In this north woods thriller, two men discover a crashed airplane that holds world-changing information that places their lives in jeopardy.

The basis of learning appears to be a network of interconnected adaptive elements (such as those found in the brain) by means of which transforms between inputs and outputs are performed. By adaptive I mean that the element can change in some systematic manner and in so doing alter the transform between input and output. In living systems, transmission within the neural network involves cpded nerve impulses and other physical chemical processes that form reflections of sensory stimuli and incipient motor behavior. The properties of the transmission network become significant determinants of behavior and depend on the mechanisms of neuronal adaptation, the means by which the connectivities between different neurons are modified. Particular paths through the network become labeled with reference to specific inputs and outputs. The network then operates through labeled interconnections linking specific elements within the network and through the mechanisms that underlie each element's adaptation. The adap tive features are crucial to learning and imply some associated, underlying mnemonic process. The labeling is of consequence with regard to the resulting specificities of stimulus reception and motor performance that characterize adaptive behavior. Memory involves time-dependent information processing relying on en coding and retrieval as well as storage itself. In the brain, engrams can be defined as those elemental adaptive changes that take place when learning and memory storage occur. Persistent engrammatic modifications of neuronal structure commonly arise through the same associative mechanisms responsi ble for learned behavior [397, 486, 759, 1020].
