Book Description

Guardians, Protectors, Witches. The titles vary species to species, but they all mean the same thing: an individual with a Spark of power and a purpose. Every Spark has an ignition point where their power goes from everyday useful to world-changing strength. Some Witches die in their spark-point. Penelope Williams is angry. A daughter of conservative parents, her Witch power coming to light reveals a hidden family history of a Salem survivor and power buried for generations. Disowned by her family, she lives as a ward of the Witches, studying and working far from Earth. She ignores the pain of her family’s abuse, shoving aside the trauma of rejection and betrayal. Penelope throws herself into her work and her power, her abrasive attitude pushing anyone but demons away. Even in the midst of her pain and outcast life, people from several species choose to make friends with her. The one that surprises her the most is the demon Ikthiel. At the Edge of reality, a threat looms twisting the nature of space and time, encroaching from the space beyond the universe. Despite warnings from Ikthiel, she cannot focus on the coming threat, instead focusing on her studies and striving to find her power’s purpose. But threats cannot be ignored forever. And Penelope faces what could be the answer to all her questions.

Book Description

Our Universe is in truth a series of overlapping energetic grids that connect from the microcosmic Quantum Universe and its set of laws, to our Macrocosmic Universe with its laws and beyond even that. Like a vast interconnected series of webs, in a grand intelligence, like a brain. This Universe is a single Spiritual expression, of which physical manifestation is only a small part. The physical Universal expression is the same throughout the varying spatial densities. Even the Celestial Realms without time, where all Souls co-exist within an "eternal moment" (eternity means having no beginning) is merely a world where each unique soul generates their own physical space in harmony with the Creator which resides within their Heart Chakra. Eventually we will gain an insight into yet a greater spiritual scope, where our Creator is yet a small part of. Together we are on a journey to Source and all mysteries will be revealed.

Book Description

FBI profiler Sayer Altair hunts a brilliant serial killer with a dangerous obsession in Caged, a gripping thriller from debut author Ellison Cooper. In a residential Washington, D.C. neighborhood, a young woman's body is found in the basement of an abandoned house--starved to death in a cage, along with the video footage of a dark and deadly ritual. The victim is identified as the daughter of a prominent D.C. politician, and it falls to the FBI to track down the unconscionable psychopath who murdered her. FBI special agent Sayer Altair would rather conduct research on criminality than catch actual criminals. But when she's offered a promotion hinging on her next assignment, she reluctantly accepts the "Cage Killer" case. Taunted by a photo of another victim at the mercy of this vicious killer, Sayer and her team are driven to put an end to these grisly homicides. During the investigation, clues emerge connecting the murders to Sayer's past. Now, the stakes are personal, and the deeper Sayer is drawn into the deadly web, the more she believes she is the only one who can uncover the killer's identity. Told with devastating detail, shocking twists and unrelenting suspense, Cooper proves her exceptional ability to entertain and enthrall.

Book Description

Recently, increasing interest has been shown in applying the concept of Pareto-optimality to machine learning, particularly inspired by the successful developments in evolutionary multi-objective optimization. It has been shown that the multi-objective approach to machine learning is particularly successful to improve the performance of the traditional single objective machine learning methods, to generate highly diverse multiple Pareto-optimal models for constructing ensembles models and, and to achieve a desired trade-off between accuracy and interpretability of neural networks or fuzzy systems. This monograph presents a selected collection of research work on multi-objective approach to machine learning, including multi-objective feature selection, multi-objective model selection in training multi-layer perceptrons, radial-basis-function networks, support vector machines, decision trees, and intelligent systems.

People lived because she killed. People died because he lived. Zafira is the Hunter, disguising herself as a man when she braves the cursed forest of the Arz to feed her people. Nasir is the Prince of Death, assassinating those foolish enough to defy his autocratic father, the sultan. If Zafira was exposed as a girl, all of her achievements would be rejected; if Nasir displayed his compassion, his father would punish him in the most brutal of ways. Both Zafira and Nasir are legends in the kingdom of Arawiya—but neither wants to be. War is brewing, and the Arz sweeps closer with each passing day, engulfing the land in shadow. When Zafira embarks on a quest to uncover a lost artifact that can restore magic to her suffering world and stop the Arz, Nasir is sent by the sultan on a similar mission: retrieve the artifact and kill the Hunter. But an ancient evil stirs as their journey unfolds—and the prize they seek may pose a threat greater than either can imagine.

Book Description

Earth is an old planet, and her teeming masses are running out of resources . . . and time. It is up to men such as Jeff Holman to discover a haven for Earth’s millions. Altair VI is one such planet, and Holman is determined to transform this world into one where the human race can survive. Star probes had long before informed Earth that Altair VI had a flourishing ecology with one very tough beast at the top of the food chain, a beast that will have to be dealt with before the human colony ships arrive. The beast is not only tough, it is as smart as a man. Holman is faced with a soul-wrenching decision—for to make Altair VI habitable for humans, all native life must die.
