New Post-Apocalyptic Fiction Thriller Puts Climate Change Front and Center

Parched novel

JACKSON, Mich., April 13, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- "Parched" (ISBN: 978-1530519248), a new mainstream fiction novel by award-winning author, Andrew Branham, depicts a dystopian society in a post-apocalyptic world where global warming is the villain.

"Parched" is set in an inhospitable environment, where the sun has assumed the role of what scientists are calling the "red giant."

This page-turning thriller follows one family on a harrowing journey from California to Ohio. When their home is abruptly robbed and burned to the ground, they are forced to make the trek in search of safety and water.

Governments have collapsed, cities are burning, lakes are dry and the environment is completely engulfed in extreme heat and practically devoid of water. Death is imminent. Facing ruthless bandits, murderers, and some of the most extreme conditions they have ever encountered, they struggle to survive. At one point, they make their home in an abandoned Ohio salt mine deep under Lake Erie, but challenges continue to face them.

It was while Branham was living in the East Bay of California during the drought that he was first inspired to write this novel. "I began to imagine a world where water was more valuable than gold," he says. "I visualized what it would be like to live with extreme temperatures and an anarchical society, envisioning how mankind would react to such a scenario and the lengths people would go to survive. Having grown up in a town on Lake Erie, I decided to incorporate the Great Lakes and my hometown of Lorain, Ohio."

Branham balances beauty with destruction to create a thriller that the reader is not soon to forget.

"I hope this novel will bring awareness to people that nature is a powerful force to be embraced and respected," he says.

Many readers previewed the book and had positive things to say. James Henkle said, "Every so often a new fiction author emerges that shakes up the norm in the literary world. 'Parched' does just that and may rival books such as 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy. This is an extremely thrilling story with a great environmental message and prose that can be compared to the best of the best."

Published by Ant Press, "Parched," part one of a three-book series, is available in paperback and for the Kindle.

Fake or Real? New App Sets the Record Straight

RuReal App

DETROIT, Mich., Feb. 2, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The RuReal App released by U.S. Publications, Inc. is designed to help its users avoid scams, posers and more. Not sure if that dating profile image is real? Unsure of the authenticity of a product being sold online? RuReal sets the truth free.

The RuReal(TM) App scans 14 billion images on the Internet while millions are being added daily. If an image has been used elsewhere or altered, this app reveals where it's been used, along with its origination.

Simon Gojcaj, president, U.S. Publications, Inc., says that RuReal will detect fakes from the get-go.

"It can help its users in a number of ways," Gojcaj says. "It deters bullies and cyberstalkers and can detect if a product is a fake or not. Basically, if it looks too good to be true, it likely is."

For example, Gojcaj tested the app out on a photo of a 2004 Mercedes Benz that was posted on CraigsList. It looked like it was in excellent condition and the price was unreal. It turns out the car was unreal too as RuReal immediately recognized it as a fake. The image had been cropped and altered and had originated from another site.

So, how does it work? Users browse one or multiple images and then save them to their mobile device. Next, they open the RuReal app and search from their saved images. The app does the rest and results are immediate.

RuReal will show true results unless the images are original and not used elsewhere.

It's also a good way for people to see if, where and how their images are being used.

Available on iTunes and GooglePlay, it's compatible with iPhones, iPads and Android devices. The first 20 searches are free. To date, customers have rated it a five-star app.

Dawes Devices Introduces The MKII Hybrid Boost Controller for All Turbo Applications

Dawes Devices MKII MBC

DETROIT, Mich., Jan. 5, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- 3 Bar Racing Inc. today announced their new Dawes Device MKII Hybrid Boost Controller. This boost controller gives more area under the boost curve, resulting in higher average torque.

A well-known path to power in a turbocharged vehicle is to increase the turbo boost pressure and supplied fuel. Boost increases can be accomplished through an ECU flash or stand-alone boost controller, either electronic or manual. Electronic boost controllers have improved in performance and cost, making it tempting to question if manual boost controllers (MBCs) are still relevant. However, the basic automotive turbo system has been unchanged for over 40 years.

The turbo contains a compressor/turbine assembly, whose speed is regulated by either a wastegate, or VNT arrangement. The wastegate or VNT vanes are in turn, controlled by a vacuum or boost signal. Just like the Saab designs of the 1970s, the ECU controls the level of boost by modulating this signal with a solenoid. Whereas an electronic boost controller takes over the control of this solenoid from the ECU, a manual controller bypasses the solenoid entirely.

Modern manual boost controllers use a ball and spring valve to control the signal to the wastegate or VNT and should not be confused with the "bleed" boost controls of the past. This design keeps the feedback loop short, reducing hysteresis (the tendency of the electronic boost controller to overshoot the desired boost level, due to the lag time in the electronic and pneumatic feedback circuits). This means that the electronic controller must approach the boost limit more slowly, to avoid overboost, reducing the amount of boost area under the curve.

While not readily apparent in peak dyno figures, reduced area under the boost curve translates to a loss of average torque. Serious racers have known this for decades and often choose an MBC for full race duty. If you want to retain your electronic controller for street duty, you can still switch between the two with the addition of a solenoid.

The people at Dawes Devices have made the best manual boost controllers of this type, for over 15 years. They were the first to use industrial ceramics in their construction, creating the "Hybrid" designation.

The Dawes Devices Hybrid MBC was covered in Sport Compact Car's "Project WRX" story and has been installed in everything from Porsche 911s, to Mitsubishi EVOs. The new MKII variant builds on the original design by improving strength and reducing weight.

You can find Dawes Devices MKII Hybrid Boost Controllers at Amazon or http://Dawes-Devices.com/.

Dawes Devices are available for Gasoline (petrol), Diesel Truck, and VNT (variable nozzle turbine) applications.

New Study: Michigan Prevailing Wage Repeal Will Kill Jobs and Hamper Economy

Midwest Economic Policy Institute

LANSING, Mich., June 29, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Just completed research by the Midwest Economic Policy Institute, Colorado State University Economist Kevin Duncan and Smart Cities Prevail - a leading construction industry research organization - has revealed that Michigan's proposed prevailing wage repeal would eliminate more than 11,000 jobs, $1.7 billion in economic output, $28 million in local and state tax revenue, and will export nearly $700 million in construction investments out of state every year.

The report, entitled "The Cost of Repealing Michigan's Prevailing Wage Policy: Impacts on Total Construction Costs and Economic Activity," can be downloaded here (PDF): http://goo.gl/SIfCGc.

The study uses a growing body of peer reviewed research, data from the Economic Census of Construction, and industry standard IMPLAN software to analyze the impact of prevailing wage standards on overall project costs and model the economic impact of spending shifts that would result from repeal of Michigan's prevailing wage law. These spending shifts ultimately impact job creation, as well as local and state tax revenue and rates of in-state contracting.

"Comparing data from prevailing wage and non-prevailing wage states shows repeal of the standard in Michigan will be a bad bargain for taxpayers," said study co-author Frank Manzo of the Midwest Economic Policy Institute. "There are no savings because reductions in construction wages are offset by decreases in workforce productivity, less worksite efficiency, and increased spending on energy and materials."

The study also demonstrates a significant economic "ripple effect" that would result from repeal. Not just from lower wages and less spending by Michigan's construction workers, but also because non-prevailing wage states utilize more out-of-state contractors.

"Every sector of the economy would feel the impact of prevailing wage repeal," said study Co-Author and Colorado State University Economist Kevin Duncan. "This would be a self-inflicted wound that suppresses economic activity, exports hundreds of millions of construction dollars out of state, and puts thousands of people out of work."

Dr. Duncan noted that these impacts would ultimately create additional burdens for state and local government, and by extension, Michigan's taxpayers.

"Less economic activity and fewer people working for lower wages translates to more reliance on public assistance programs and lower tax revenues," Duncan added. "There are only two ways to close that gap-raising taxes or making even deeper cuts to vital public services."

This is the third prevailing wage economic impact study in as many months that Dr. Duncan has co-authored, along with Smart Cities Prevail Researcher Alex Lantsberg.

"There is a reason why prevailing wage policies have stood the test of time and have long been embraced by leaders in both political parties-including Michigan's Republican Governor Rick Snyder," added Lantsberg. "Our goal is to ensure that voters and policy makers have the facts they need to make informed decisions that reflect the best interests of taxpayers and the economy as a whole-and our research shows that repeal of prevailing wage falls far short of that standard."

Recent polling shows that Michigan's prevailing wage law is supported by 60% of voters, including a majority of Democrats and Independents and a plurality of Republicans.

Frank Manzo IV, MPP is the Policy Director of the Midwest Economic Policy Institute, a division of the Illinois Economic Policy Institute.

Kevin Duncan, Ph.D. is a Professor of Economics in the Hasan School of Business at Colorado State University - Pueblo and Senior Economist at BCD Economics, LLC.

Alex Lantsberg, MCP, AICP is a Researcher with Smart Cities Prevail and a member of the American Institute for City Planning.
