A young child learns that even superheroes hurt too in this heartrending story about loss and love, written by debut author Kevin Johnson and illustrated by #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator Kitt Thomas. When a child loses the person in his life that he loves more than anything, he uses his cape as protection from his grief. On the day of the funeral, he uses it to block out the pictures and stories people share, refusing to acknowledge the memories that keep bubbling up. He won''t think about them. He doesn''t want to. He avoids the memories, until he no longer can. He remembers then. Their laugh, their smile, the moment they gave him the cape. The cape transforms, becoming a source of comfort and strength as the child navigates the sadness and joy that these memories bring up. In Cape, Kevin Johnson has crafted an achingly beautiful and honest story about processing and redefining grief after the loss of a loved one. With evocative illustrations by New York Times bestselling artist Kitt Thomas (Stacey’s Extraordinary Words), Cape is a powerful, unforgettable, and necessary story.

A crime and consequences thriller, written to be read one or two chapters at a time. A theme to be pondered, fantasised, and even embellished by the reader. Neither truth nor factual-just pleasantly entertaining. ufeffKevin Johnson is a talented writer, wrote Desperate Action as his Fifth. The first three books were written as a trilogy, Aussie Pilot, Aussie Knowhow and Aussie Aussie Impasse. He then published his Fourth Book, Aussie Mythology which follows on the same believable fantasy-style after the hero in the Trilogy retires. After the publishing of book 4, the need to continue writing became bothersome. In an attempt to satisfy the urge, the need to produce a better text was overwhelming. It had to be a completely different theme and a story that allowed the reader to use their own imagination to embellish my fantasy story. Something to read a chapter at a time, and to commence the reader to mentally improve, or change, to enhance the passage, then at another time pick up the book repeating the pleasure still pursued maybe weeks after the book has been finished.

This book is not about putting down Law Enforcement. It is about identifying why Law Enforcement isn''t successful in America and how we have already identified that. We have already ignored those reasons for its failure but yet we continue to expect great men and women in this field to put their lives on the line in a system that is set up to fail. Whose fault is it that people of all races are being killed by the one''s sworn to uphold the law? Politicians? The Chief''s of Police that you and I put in place? Take a look from a Police Officer who was well liked by the public, made it to retirement age, but was cast aside by the "system" of Law Enforcement that didn''t necessarily agree publicly with the "Community Policing" style they all praise to your face.

"As God Speaks: I Speak" is an inspirational journal and collection of poems, words of encouragement, and poignant expressions of hope. The book moves in progression from when the author began hearing God''s voice to maturing into a man seeking a spiritual, soul connection with God. Kevin Johnson empowers each individual personally, mentally, and emotionally, reminding his readers that they are never alone, and they are more than conquerors. The first section of the book is an earlier collection of poems the author wrote over twenty-five years ago, followed by a period in his life when he ventured out to take a closer walk with God and acquired a hunger for biblical understanding, knowledge, and wisdom. "As God Speaks: I Speak" includes a special prayer and dedication for those who may struggle with mental illness. As someone who has experienced hardship, depression, and a defeated mentality, he can relate intrinsically with his readers. Whether they are struggling with the challenges of addiction, grief, mental illness, suicide, or whatever the case may be, readers can find solace and serenity somewhere on the pages. The author included pages for journaling so that readers can listen, reflect, and record their intimate thoughts and conversations. "As God Speaks: I Speak" is a must-have and serves as a guiding light during difficult times.

To provide some past detail for the first-time reader as well as a spot for those needing a refresher while reading the book, either now or partway into it, I outline the family and friends always in the background. The Granger family comprise the original hero Aussie Pilot David, his second wife Pam, queen of the Australian witches, his daughter Susan who has a part amputated the right leg and a husband, Richard Barnard. Davids son Robert, now the captain of the newest space vessel is married to Poema, a Polynesian princess. The final families are Pams younger sister Zoey, her husband Ronald and their first-born daughter Carmen, who is also a witch and warlock, are central to the plot and general activities.

This is the third book of a trilogy. The first was Aussie Pilot; the second, Aussie Knowhow; and now the final book of the series, Aussie Impasse. All books are pure fantasy and include some spectacular deductions, magic, science fiction, and illusionary events that many young Australian boys dreamed of well past the time they reached maturity. The merged happenings in most instances were created by other writers, films, or television exposures and were strung together to form the fictitious, exciting life of a hero and his friends. As previously stated, the book has been growing in the writer’s head since he was an adolescent and, over time, has been progressively added to, regurgitated, and reinvented. As the writer discovered them, they became merged until now, where it would seem they are no longer recognizable. The third book of the series is the end of the need to complete the story and hopefully to conclude an enjoyable reading experience—a mental escape, perhaps even a pleasing fantasy, for the patient and forgiving readers that inexplicably discovered this work. It is my sincere hope that when you all close the last page, you will have a pleasant smile on the face and will quietly say, “That was a satisfying read. I quite enjoyed the entire journey.” Again, my heartfelt thanks to my wife, Judy; my children Michelle, Vanessa, and David; and their children Matthew, Benjamin, Finn, Aislinn, Caelan, Neve, and Taya for providing the encouragement, support, and love that I needed so much to make me finish what I just had to start. So book 3 begins.

Flexible and wearable electronic devices are of a high academic and industrial interest. In order to power these devices, there is a need for compatible energy storage units that can exhibit similar mechanical flexibility. Fiber-based devices have thus become increasingly popular since their light-weight, and flexible structure can be easily integrated into textiles. Supercapacitors have garnered a lot of attention due to their excellent cycling durability, fast charge times and superior power density. The primary challenge, however, with electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs), which are part of the supercapacitor family, is that their energy densities are significantly lower compared to those of batteries. Pseudocapacitors, on the other hand, can be designed and created with large energy densities and other outstanding properties typical for supercapacitors. This chapter discusses the fabrication and testing of supercapacitors based on carbon nanotube-polyaniline (PANI) composite fibers. These flexible and light-weight devices are assembled using different electrolytes for comparison. The created in this work PANI-CNT composite devices attain an energy density of 6.16 Wh/kg at a power density of 630 W/kg and retained a capacitance of 88% over 1000 charge-discharge cycles.
