The TENTH installment of the Skip Langdon series is a New Orleans feast for the senses, a canine love story, an action-packed police procedural made-to-order for readers who like their female sleuths bold, smart, and refreshingly human. A serial killer is using Airbnb units to stage his murders, but a teenage runaway has escaped his grasp and now she's in the wind, believing she's killed him. Meanwhile, the real killer stalks the city - and her.
Cody, the pink-haired sixteen-year-old, should be in school or at the mall texting her friends, not hanging out at the intersection of serial murder and human trafficking. When the options are: (1) Return to a life of slavery (2) Go to jail for murder (3) Be killed by a serial killer, Option 4 makes perfect sense - RUN As mean as the streets of The City That Care Forgot can be, this child attracts angels (often unlikely ones) - and entire packs of dogs - who come to her aid.
She also finds a friend in NOPD's newest Sergeant - big (six-foot ), beautiful, tough, and tender-hearted Skip Langdon. Skip knows her best hope of finding the killer is to find Cody - plus she feels for the girl, in whom she recognizes a younger version of her plucky, resourceful, whip-smart self. The city's hard-boiled; the detective has a heart the size of the Superdome.

Everybody loved easygoing Ham Brocato, producer of the famed New Orleans JazzFest. So how did he end up stabbed to death on his kitchen floor?
New Orleans Homicide Detective Skip Langdon just happens to be on hand when Ham's body is discovered in the middle of his own party the evening before the Fest. To complicate the already murky case, the victim's sixteen-year-old blues musician sister has disappeared, and Skip suspects that if the young woman isn't the murderer, she's in mortal danger from the person who is. So Task One is finding Melody, ambitious, unhappy at home, and determined to break from her family.
As she probes the victim's tangled relationships, Skip finds a Southern family to rival any in Tennessee Williams, including Ham's live-in lover, feisty and swiftly rising star Ti-Belle Thiebaud; his father George, enmeshed with family members in a bitter disagreement over the family's lucrative Po' Boy chain; and Patty, his distraught stepmother.
In this tale of southern kinships gone awry, she's assisted by her long-distance love, Steve Steinman, and her gay landlord, Jimmy Dee. Meanwhile, Melody's dangerous yet exhilarating journey tugs at the heart and raises the pulse rate.

Описание: From the INTRODUCTION. The material collected and edited in this book comprehends nearly all the temple liturgy of the official Babylonian and Assyrian religion yet published. By temple liturgy I mean services of public praise and penance. A sharp division must be made between public services and private services, a distinction which was observed by the Babylonians themselves. Religious literature in Babylonia originated from two distinct sources; on the one hand the priest of incantation exercised the mystic rites of magic over afflicted persons in huts in the fields; on the other hand the psalmists had charge of the public services of the temples. In the earliest period the Sumerians who created the entire form of Babylonian religious literature, had only these two classes of sacred literature. The temple services were called er-sem-mas or psalms to the flute'; the incantations, mystic sacramental formulae and prayers of the private rituals bore the title en. The priests or temple singers were named lagar, labar. As early as the period of Gudea distinct reference is made to the lagaru or kalu priests who play the balaggu or harp(?), and if the word lagal in another passage be really its earliest form, then Gudea himself tells us explicitly that he appointed these priests for the temple services'. Mention is made of a temple psalmist on a tablet at least pre-Sargonic 3ooo BC] Urukagina circa 3200 BC] made provisions to regulate the salary of his temple singers. In a psalm 1 for the temple service the kalu's instrument is called the mesa, which with the halhallatu and the balaggu formed the principal instruments for temple music" Other instruments employed in temple music are the uppu and the lilissu. Of these five instruments the names of four are Sumerian loan-words; halhallatu whose meaning Prof. Meissner has shown to be reed flute, is Semitic. In Babyloniaca III I-3o, I attempted to prove that the asipu priests who had control of the rituals of magic of the fire and water cults had no part in the public services of the temples. Their sphere of activity seems to have been confined to the mysteries performed in huts in the fields. Yet we know that in every great religion the priests who con- trol the sacraments, who are directly commissioned with divine power over the unseen spirits, become the central factor, and it could not have been otherwise in Babylonia. Gudea says that he installed the high priest in the temple along with the psalmist, and direct evidence exists to prove that this high priest was the asipu, called en in Sumerian. Countless documents boar the dale, year when the high priest was elected. There can be, then, no possible doubt but that the asipu priests held the highest position of influence in the Sumerian and Babylonian religion. That they performed mysteries, attended at least by incense, is evident from the fact that the niknakku, or incense stand, was placed before the statues of the gods. While it is impossible to define the spheres of activity of the asipu and kalu priests, yet one fact remains clear, viz. that the psalmists (kalu) had full charge of the public services in so far as they were not connected with magic....

Описание: Physical Chemistry is the study of macroscopic, atomic, particulate and sub-atomic phenomena in chemical systems. It is studied in terms of principles, practices, and concepts of physics. Energy, thermodynamics, motion, statistical mechanics and force are some common concepts of physics applied to this field. Quantum chemistry and spectroscopy are the two primary sub-fields of physical chemistry. The application of quantum mechanics to solve chemical problems falls under quantum chemistry. It provides tools to determine the shape of bonds, strength of the bonds, movement of nuclei and how light can be absorbed or emitted by a chemical compound. Whereas, spectroscopy is concerned with the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter. The objective of this book is to give a general view of the different areas of physical chemistry and its applications. Most of the topics introduced herein cover new techniques and applications of physical chemistry. This book will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and post graduate students.
