South Sanford needs an angel when their government is trying to be their God… Beloved bully Rahshaan Bailey is home after being wrongfully incarcerated. The welcome home he receives is warm, but there’s an expectation that he will take over work that his predecessors began. In a city that is locked behind a bridge, and forced to go under curfew because of mysterious kidnappings, people want Rahshaan to be their savior. All he wants is to find his son and to find out more about the beautiful woman who has been helping to take care of his grandmother since he went away. Shatima Thomas has got 99 problems, and her stalker is the main one. When every man who tries to get close to her disappears, she moves into the belly of the beast and awaits her payback for the lives she’s ruined. Instead, she meets a world cruel enough to blame the victims for the crimes committed against them. If only a change of power can take place and give her hope… Red Danger Days is a coming of age tale of hopelessness turned to hope, and mystery mixed with murder. It is the survival story of two lost souls hoping to redeem themselves. When the two cross paths, will they be able to unite and become the saviors their city is desperately seeking?

We live in a technological world, exposed to many risks and errors and the fear of death. Know the Risk shows us how we can learn from the many errors and tragic accidents which have plagued our developing technological world.This breakthrough volume presents a new concept and theory that shows how errors can and should be analyzed so that learning and experience are accounted for. The authors show that, by using a universal learning curve, errors can be tracked and managed so that they are reduced to the smallest number possible.The authors have devoted a number of years to gathering data, analyzing theories relating to error reduction, design improvement, management of errors and assignment of cause. The analyzed data relates to millions of errors. They find a common thread between all technology-related accidents and link all of these errors (from the headline stories to the everyday accidents). They challenge the reader to take a different look at the stream of threats, risks, dangers, statistics and errors by presenting a new perspective. The book makes use of detailed illustrations and explores many headline accidents which highlight human weaknesses in harnessing and exploiting the technology we have developed; from the Titanic to Chernobyl, Bhopal to Concorde, the Mary Rose to the Paddington rail crash and examine errors over which we have little or no control. By analyzing the vast data society has collected, the authors show how the famous accidents and our everyday risks are related.The authors prove the strength of their observations by comparing their findings to the recorded history of tragedies, disasters, accidents and incidents in chemical, airline, shipping, rail, automobile, nuclear, medical, industrial and manufacturing technologies. They also address the management of Quality and losses in production, the search for zero defects and the avoidance of personal risk and danger.Stresses the importance of a learning environment for safety improvementPlaces both quality and safety management in the same learning contextLearn how to track and manage errors to reduce as quickly as possible
