My heart is like the Morning Glory, As it holds our friendship gently, Yet ever so tightly, awaiting the time When we meet again.

"The Dying GOD: A Vampire's Tale should run forever a great cast. The playwright has a gift for words." -Joe Frankin, WOR-AM Radio "If you found yourself jumping on the Internet looking for news after your Da Vinci Code read, you will probably enjoy the new play by writer and director Gerard Denza which brings a modern and original spin to the very popular vampire concept. Pretty dramatic and intellectual stuff here. I thoroughly enjoyed The Dying GOD: A Vampire's Tale it was fresh, made me think, at times I even found myself wondering if this was real and the cast was going to induct me into this cult " -Betyper (Internet Newspaper)

Okay, because I am a unique, multitalented, and multifaceted individual as you all are. All of my poems are written in different styles. Some are instructional. Some are encouraging. Some are tidbits of knowledge and wisdom to stimulate and motivate your thoughts. But all are meant to strengthen, enlighten and inspire you. I pray my sister and/or brother that you find what you seek through these words that were given to me by the Almighty Creator of life. I pray that it will aid you through lifes journey and with learning lifes lessons. Peace and Blessings to all that may read these words

You don't need a global positioning system (GPS) with God as your guide. With Him in the driver's seat, you are always headed in the right direction-His will. He knows your beginning and ending and He's the best one to lead you to the desired end. So take your hands off the steering wheel, slide over to the passenger seat and let Him drive. He'll get you there safe and on time! "A must have... in your life." Kim Brooks, author of He's Fine, But is He Saved? "100 Words of Encouragement is for those who want to stay encouraged, motivated and inspired to live the abundant life that God came to give." First Lady Crisette Ellis, Greater Grace Temple (The City of David) in Detroit, Michigan "Tenita Johnson delivers... periodic introspection." Venus Mason Theus, author of How to Have a Joyfully-Ever-After Marriage and Brown Paper Bag

Most learning on the job is informal. This book offers advice on how to support, nurture, and leverage informal learning and helps trainers to go beyond their typical classes and programs in order to widen and deepen heir reach. The author reminds us that we live in a new, radically different, constantly changing, and often distracting workplace. He guides us through the plethora of digital learning tools that workers are now accessing through their computers, PDAs, and cell phones.

Computational intelligence is a component of Encyclopedia of Technology, Information, and Systems Management Resources in the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty one Encyclopedias. Computational intelligence is a rapidly growing research field including a wide variety of problem-solving techniques inspired by nature. Traditionally computational intelligence consists of three major research areas: Neural Networks, Fuzzy Systems, and Evolutionary Computation. Neural networks are mathematical models inspired by brains. Neural networks have massively parallel network structures with many neurons and weighted connections. Whereas each neuron has a simple input-output relation, a neural network with many neurons can realize a highly non-linear complicated mapping. Connection weights between neurons can be adjusted in an automated manner by a learning algorithm to realize a non-linear mapping required in a particular application task. Fuzzy systems are mathematical models proposed to handle inherent fuzziness in natural language. For example, it is very difficult to mathematically define the meaning of “cold” in everyday conversations such as “It is cold today” and “Can I have cold water”. The meaning of “cold” may be different in a different situation. Even in the same situation, a different person may have a different meaning. Fuzzy systems offer a mathematical mechanism to handle inherent fuzziness in natural language. As a result, fuzzy systems have been successfully applied to real-world problems by extracting linguistic knowledge from human experts in the form of fuzzy IF-THEN rules. Evolutionary computation includes various population-based search algorithms inspired by evolution in nature. Those algorithms usually have the following three mechanisms: fitness evaluation to measure the quality of each solution, selection to choose good solutions from the current population, and variation operators to generate offspring from parents. Evolutionary computation has high applicability to a wide range of optimization problems with different characteristics since it does not need any explicit mathematical formulations of objective functions. For example, simulation-based fitness evaluation is often used in evolutionary design. Subjective fitness evaluation by a human user is also often used in evolutionary art and music. These volumes are aimed at the following five major target audiences: University and College students Educators, Professional practitioners, Research personnel and Policy analysts, managers, and decision makers.

Managing people in organizations is one of the single greatest challenges organizational leaders face today. What is ironic is that some organizational leaders inadvertently enable a work environment where employees do not improve their organizational performance and productivity. Successful Organizational Tidbits for today's Business Leaders vol. I offers new organizational definitions, terminologies, and theories on what is affecting employees' productivity and performance in the workplace and offers practical solutions to leaders on how to effectively manage their employees. This book also provides leaders with leadership tools to enhance their leadership skills in the workplace. There are also great examples of business leaders and not-so-great leaders with real-life case studies. This book is applicable for leaders who manage employees in any organization. Following solutions and recommendations in this book today will enhance organizations tomorrow.

No one does beautiful cookbooks quite like Tessa Kiros, and her track record of more than 700,000 books sold worldwide speaks for itself. In her latest book, much-loved author Tessa Kiros celebrates the heritage of Italy, the country she has chosen to call home. This beautifully feminine book is a tribute to the women in our lives -- mothers, mothers-in-law, grandmothers -- and the important lessons we learn from them. After such celebrated titles as Apples for Jam and Falling Cloudberries, this is Tessa Kiros's best book yet, written from the heart and celebrating the best of Italy. With more than 100 accessible and delicious recipes, ranging from robust family dishes to quirky cakes and old-fashioned preserves, this book is a precious heirloom to treasure. The chapters are based on rooms and items in the home, such as the bread oven; vegetable patch; snack box; pasta pot; meat, fish, and chicken in the dining room; and the ice box. Recipes include: Basil Liqueur, Sweet Pizza, Artichoke and Herb Soup, Potato and Truffle Purses, Roast Rabbit with Grapes, Chickpeas with Prawns, Marmalade Cake, and Cappuccino Ice Cream.
