This volume of my story consists almost entirely of one long and winding conversation between me and my mysterious visitor(s) encompassing subjects from music to murder, philanthropy to philandery, graffiti to grand larceny, homosexuality to the Holocaust, football to Fermat's Last Theorem, politics to pop-culture, Jay-Z to Shakespeare and a whole lot more besides. A true roller-coaster of every human emotion this book is packed with tears and laughter with controversy never far away. It has been said that a mind once stretched will never regain its original dimensions - I can certainly vouch for that being the case for me in the wake of this conversation and I trust that whether or not you can allow yourself to believe that my story is true you will find this book thought provoking from beginning to end.

"The sentinel of the spaceways soars again! After years trapped on Earth, the Silver Surfer finally breaks free of Galactus' barrier and returns to the stars.

While the age-old war between the Kree and the Skrulls heats up once again, the Elders of the Universe target Galactus! They're not the only heavy hitters in play--not with Mephisto, Death and Eternity around. But love is the greatest force of all--will Surfer find it with his old flame, Shalla Bal? With Galactus' herald, Nova? Or with the Celestial Madonna, Mantis? Plus: The origin of Galactus and more!

This volume of my story is a flashback, recounting the bizarre events of the day which preceded the real-life nightmare described in volume one. The first day of the rest of my life got off to a great start - After drafting the letter of resignation which would draw a line under my previous nomadic existence as a globe-trotting expat in the construction industry I spent the morning relaxing in my garden and relishing the idea of becoming co-owner of the best dam bar in Saigon! As I read my morning newspaper in the glorious Vietnamese sunshine it soon became apparent that the inexplicable series of bizarre events which had engulfed my life over the previous few weeks had moved up another level of 'weirdness' but whoever or whatever was behind it seemed to be on my side so did I REALLY need to understand it? The morning's optimism faded quickly when I returned indoors to prepare for my upcoming holiday back home in Scotland -All of a sudden I wasn't so sure that 'it' was on my side after all! For the first time since the weirdness had begun I felt uncomfortable in my house. I knew I had to get out of there quickly but what I didn't know was that I was about to embark on a mind-bending odyssey that would challenge everything that I had ever believed in!

This volume of my story covers the events of 26th June 2004. The previous 24 hours had been a real roller-coaster ride which had taken me to every emotional extreme but I faced the new day with a greater level of hope and optimism than I could recall ever feeling before in my life. My life had been in turmoil for weeks ever since the 'weirdness' had started but things were obviously building to a climax - Would this be the day that I would finally receive an answer to who or what was behind it all? Those messages I had received the night before seemed to suggest that it would be! Without wishing to spoil the plot of the story I can confirm that I did get an answer. Boy did I get an answer! In fact I got more answers than I had questions for and received answers to questions I had previously thought so unanswerable I wouldn't have wasted my time asking them! The bizarre chaos that had engulfed my life during the previous weeks suddenly made perfect sense. The explanation was simple yet brilliant, profound and yet obvious, crazy yet perfectly rational - In fact it was Pure Logic!

After the 'flashback' of volume two, this volume of my story picks up the time-line of my story from where volume one left off: Left battered and bleeding on my garden path after what can only be described as a poltergeist-like event I managed to drag myself back into my house and onto my sofa. The DVD which had been playing when the latest bout of 'weirdness' had begun had finished and with my TV's remote control far out of reach and my body in too much pain for me to consider an attempt to retrieve it I resigned myself to a boring night in front of a TV screen full of snowy interference - How wrong I was! What followed gave a whole new meaning to the term 'interactive TV' and the tantalizingly cryptic messages which ended my strange night's viewing filled me with new hope and optimism - Could 'they' really be offering what they seemed to be?

This volume of my story covers the events of the night of 25th June 2004 when, after weeks of being surrounded by increasingly weird and bizarre events, a quiet night at home with friends was just what I needed. Around midnight, just after my friends had left, I settled down on my sofa hoping for a peaceful uneventful night and the chance to catch up with some long overdue sleep however 'something' in my house had other ideas! Within minutes I found myself being literally pulled into a real life nightmare which seemed to threaten my sanity and possibly even my life!

A range of DLC, Si-DLC, N-DLC and F-DLC films were prepared using ¿PECVD ¿with various film thicknesses (100-200) nm. The simplest amino acid ¿¿¿Glycine¿ is used as a model biological compound to ¿investigate surface adsorption ¿phenomena. Following exposure to solutions ¿containing glycine, surface characteristic has been ¿investigated by various techniques. XPS analysis showed the appearance of a new ¿peak at 400 eV ¿¿(N1s) and a change in the intensity of the C1s and O1s peaks. Both ¿Raman and ¿FTIR spectra showed bands related to functional groups ¿of glycine. ¿AFM analysis showed a change in surface roughness of the films with ¿the ratio of ¿rms values increasing following exposure to glycine. Changes in the ¿surface energy of the films were observed following ¿exposure to glycine with an ¿increase in the surface tension. Based on the kinetic study, the adsorption ¿process ¿obeyed the pseudo first order rate of reaction, and both ¿G and ¿H results showed that the ¿adsorption is ¿spontaneous and exothermic. The ¿Freundlich-Langmuir isotherm ¿suggest that the attachment of glycine is non-¿uniform and multilayer. ¿
