Katherine''s life has been on a downhill turn, filled with tragedy and heartbreak. When she bought Alston House in the small Tennessee town of Poplar Bend, she hoped it would be the chance to turn things around, center herself again, and get serious about her art. True, it was a risk buying a house virtually sight unseen through the internet, but she knew it needed some extensive renovations, so what could go wrong? What the real estate agent never told her was that Alston House had a history that was among the darkest secrets in the small town. As Katherine begins to put her life back together following her dream as a painter, she discovers there is more here than meets the eye. One of the home''s former residents never left, even after death, and now he seems to have set his sights on her. Can she uncover the darkness at the heart of the town and overcome her personal ghosts, or will she become one more victim to the town''s hidden hearts?

The Design and Manufacturing of optoelectronics technology and related components used in fiber optics data communication products are significantly influenced by the emergence of new international environmental, ecodesign and chemical legislative directives. These dynamic laws and regulations propose to limit or eliminate heavy metals, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants used in the manufacture of various types of electronic and electric equipment, which have been linked to lasting environmental impacts and human health effects. This chapter discusses the leading environmental law and directives, including the European Union’s (EU) Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS), Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), Ecodesign Directive for Energy-related Products (ErP), Japanese J-Moss certification, and more. Detailed descriptions include both country-specific regulations (China, European Union) and specific regulations in various US states (such as New York and California).
