He’s been to the edge of death and back and come away with a spiritual key that unlocks doors to another world that few have ever seen. Through his investigations of the world’s most haunted places, Zak has learned far more about the living and the dead than anyone should. But sometimes it’s his interactions with the living that rattle him the most, from innocent people harboring evil spirits to crazed fans to the victims of violent spirit attacks. He has bought a demon house in Indiana that has been described as a “portal to hell,” summoned the devil at the Hellfire Club in Ireland, and been attacked by a possessed doll in Mexico. What happens when we die? Why do some spirits move on while others remain stuck in some sort of in-between place? What do the spirits really want from us? Zak has dedicated his life to finding out the truth. ![]() Paranormal investigator Zak Bagans has traveled all over the world, seeking answers to life’s deepest and most terrifying mysteries. ![]() ![]() ![]() (Or better to say, since she's not real: wondering if Hardy intentionally set her character up to convey that.) She does finally overcome her aversion, to the extent of having children with Jude, but it's a fragile adjustment. The love of his life, Sue, is particularly confused: she combines an open, somewhat flirtatious manner with a pathological aversion to sex that left me wondering if she'd been abused as a child. The women in his life are used and confused in turn, not so much by Jude as by the terrible straitjacket women were forced into. Let down by everyone he chooses as a mentor (one of them doesn't last long enough for a round trip from one village to the next) spurned by the university he longs to enter and used and confused by the women in his life, he keeps trying to draw a smaller circle in the sand after each fresh assault, but ultimately he loses, and by then he doesn't care, and then he dies. Jude, a decent man with ambitions to become a scholar, doesn't stand a chance in Hardy's cold universe. ![]() ![]() A daylit and neutral space, the lobby creates a layered connection to the public realm of Bryant Park, whose restorative green spaces extend into the building through green roofs and a publicly accessible Urban Garden Room. ![]() In response to its dense urban context, the building challenges the boundaries of public and private space with a highly transparent corner entry. Drawing on concepts of biophilia – people’s innate need for connection to the natural environment – the vision was to create the highest quality modern workplace by emphasizing daylight, fresh air, and an intrinsic relationship to the outdoors. ![]() Designed to set a new standard in high-performance buildings for the office workers who occupy the tower and for a nation awakening to the modern imperative of sustainability, the Bank of America Tower at One Bryant Park is a 55-story, 2.2 million square foot project that is the first commercial high-rise to achieve LEED Platinum certification. ![]() ![]() Rebirth becomes too preoccupied with its high-concept exploration of determinism at the expense of the original story. The Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth trailer doubles down on this ambiguity, asking the audience: “what is fact, and what is fiction?” It’s clear that fate and its defiance are cornerstones of the new narrative that Nomura is building. ![]() It’s clear that fate and its defiance are cornerstones of the new narrative that Nomura is building Cloud himself is treated to visions of Aerith’s death – of which he receives no such premonitions in the original. Aerith, the wise, gentle, and resolute voice of reason within Remake’s ensemble, goes as far as to warn Cloud not to fall in love with her, suggesting that she is precognisant of her own death at the hands of Sephiroth later in the story. The Remake series seems laden with more than a little ambiguity the “remake” in Final Fantasy 7 Remake isn’t an adjective, but a verb, signifying the characters’ defiance of fate and “canon”. It’s a fascinating piece of fourth-wall-breakery from director Tetsuya Nomura. ![]() Remake explicitly defies the established canon of the original, to the extent that sinister shades materialize and accost Cloud and pals, attempting to “fix” the broken narrative. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In Room 217 of the Lakes Region Traumatic Brain Injury Clinic, something has awakened.

Here we report a combination of gene–circuit–behavior analyses including MECP2 coexpression network, locomotive and cognitive behaviors, and EEG and fMRI findings in 5 MECP2 overexpressed monkeys ( Macaca fascicularis 3 females) and 20 wild-type monkeys ( Macaca fascicularis 11 females). MECP2 gain-of-function and loss-of-function in genetically engineered monkeys recapitulates typical phenotypes in patients with autism, yet where MECP2 mutation affects the monkey brain and whether/how it relates to autism pathology remain unknown. ![]() ![]() ![]() Anthologies are a great way to unite indie and traditionally published authors for a worthy cause.

The narrator needed to be more seasoned.with more books under her belt.or if the author wanted to stick with the current narrator then she needs to slow down in her reading, she read the book like it was a speed reading contest, feel and get to know the characters so that voices for each personality can be established.
