In the shadowy depths of conspiracy and myth, two lifelong friends and seasoned contractors-Jack and Sam-embark on their most bizarre mission yet aboard the USNS SBX-1. Former Navy comrades who first uncovered the paranormal during a desert expedition hunting Bigfoot in the UAE, they''ve since been sworn to protect secrets that threaten reality itself. Their journey begins with flashbacks to those desert days, revealing how their shared experiences unlocked a gateway to the supernatural. Now, stationed on the USNS SBX-1, they find themselves embroiled in a cosmic conspiracy: guarding the legendary Ice Wall, a mysterious barrier believed by flat-earthers to mark the edge of the world. But beneath the surface, the truth is far stranger-vampires rule the isolated islands beyond the wall, led by the sinister King Stump Chuggins, aka Stumpy. As the ship ventures past the ice, the friends uncover ancient relics and cryptic messages hinting at the Earth''s true disc shape and the vampire monarchy''s dominion. Flashbacks reveal their prior encounters with the supernatural-ghostly apparitions, desert monsters, and the mystical Bigfoot-each informing their current mission. The climax erupts in a fiery showdown aboard Stumpy''s lavish, laser-armed yacht. With the crew caught between disbelief and dread, Jack and Sam face off against the vampire king-armed with sporks, wit, and unbreakable friendship. In a brutal, graphic hand-to-hand duel amidst the chaos, they defeat Stumpy, but not without sacrifice. Their lives fade together, side by side, as the ship sinks into icy depths, their final words a cryptic, amused farewell: "those damn nargles." *Edge of the Ice* is a bizarro odyssey blending surreal mythology, conspiracy, and horror, revealing the shocking truths lurking beneath the Earth''s surface-and the enduring bond of friendship amidst cosmic chaos.

Roy Boy is the compelling story of Christopher Bennett who was born and raised in the working-class suburb of Fitzroy in the 1950s and 1960s. In those days it was considered a slum area and the close-knit community had more than its fair share of ratbags, drunks and crooks. A cheeky and boisterous kid of migrant parents, Chris roamed the streets and nearby haunts for fun and adventure and found much more than he bargained for - including trouble with authorities and exile from his home and family.

Hyper-Raman spectroscopy is a nonlinear optical probe which can be used to explore the multi-photon properties of molecules. Three studies are presented in this dissertation. The first study is a combined experimental investigation of the surfaceenhanced hyper-Raman scattering with a theoretical study of the electronic states of the Rhodamine 6G molecule. This study demonstrates that hyper-Raman spectroscopy can be used to probe electronic states which are one-photon inaccessible. The second study involves a comparison of experimentally measured resonance hyper-Raman spectra to first-principles calculations of the resonance hyper-Raman scattering. This study shows the utility of coupling hyper-Raman spectroscopy and hyper-Raman calculations to define the multi-photon properties of the molecule. The final study compares the experimentally collected surface-enhanced hyper-Raman spectra of Rhodamine 6G to the theoretical simulations of the resonance hyper-Raman for identical excitation energies. In this study, the mechanism of vibronic coupling in the hyper-Raman effect is fully explained, demonstrating the capability of hyper-Raman spectroscopy predicting the two-photon absorption mechanism.

Many U.S. students arrive on college campus lacking the skills expected for college-level work. As state leaders seek to increase postsecondary enrollment and completion, public colleges have sought to lessen the delays created by remedial course requirements. Tennessee has taken a novel approach by allowing students to complete their remediation requirements in high school. Using both a difference-in-differences and a regression discontinuity design, we evaluate the program''s impact on college enrollment and credit accumulation, finding that the program boosted enrollment in college-level math during the first year of college and allowed students to earn a modest 4.5 additional college credits by their second year. We also report the first causal evidence on remediation''s impact on students'' math skills, finding that the program did not improve students'' math achievement, nor boost students'' chances of passing college math. Our findings cast doubt on the effectiveness of the current model of remediation--whether in high school or college--in improving students'' math skills. They also suggest that the time cost of remediation--whether pre-requisite or co-requisite remediation--is not the primary barrier causing low degree completion for students with weak math preparation.

This is a birthday present for my fiance. She is the love of my life and my best friend. I love her with all my heart.

Manuscript journal (188 p.) of the voyage of the ship "Walter Hood" from Sydney to London between 19 April and 15 July 1859. Bennett narrates the events of his 87 day voyage for the benefit of his sister, Mrs Annette Lightfoot. He describes life on board the ship with anecdotes about his fellow passengers and occassional reminiscences about his experiences on the Australian gold fields.

The Park Grass Experiment (PGE) was started in 1856 as an investigation into the impact of organic and inorganic fertilisers on hay yields and is now the world''s longest running ecological experiment. Functional ecology involves describing plant communities by traits, which give an indication of how the community responds under different stresses and the effect on the rest of the ecosystem. Describing communities by traits removes some of the complexities associated with a taxonomic approach. A comprehensive long term dataset was re-analysed in relation to functional traits (CSR (competitiors, stress tolerators and ruderals) and functional diversity indices) and how they correlate with nutrient treatment and productivity and their power to explain variance in predicting community stability. The most abundant species on the PGE were sampled to investigate the effect of different fertilisers on leaf traits and the link between leaf traits and productivity. The leaf traits were also used to investigate the palatability of the species and communities on the PGE. Biomass samples were taken from the PGE and separated into species. Leaves were also taken from the most abundant species for analysis of specific leaf area (SLA), leaf dry matter content (LDMC), leaf nitrogen content (LNC) and leaf tensile strength. The palatability experiment was conducted as a preference experiment of leaf discs of the different species to snails and locusts. The community CSR signature varied across the treatments; community C increased and community S decreased with nutrient input. The response of the communities to drought was best described by functional diversity. Species found on the plots that had greater productivity have higher SLA and LNC than those from plots with lower productivity. Intra-specific differences in SLA and LDMC were observed and mirrored the inter-specific response to productivity. Community-weighted palatability decreased with fertilisation; this was due to the changes from dicots to monocots. Dicots were generally more palatable and more abundant in low fertility plots but monocots did show a positive correlation between palatability and fertility. Different traits correlated significantly with either productivity (SLA) or palatability (tensile strength), suggesting that a suite of traits is required when making inferences about ecosystem function.
