The people of New Braunfels share this common hope. However, due to many different elements, this ideal society is not possible. Nevertheless, this dream of a safe city must not be abandoned for it is a proven fact that crimes are preventable and crime rates can be reduced. Community spirit, people helping people and common goals can control crimes. A safer city can become a reality. The Mission of the Safe City Commission: SAFER CITY THROUGH A REDUCTION OF CRIME. Goals of the Safe City Commission: 1. To identify specific criminal activity and seek a viable solution to such. 2. To establish City wide goals and programs to reduce and minimize crime. 3. To establish a City wide network of information and education about crime prevention programs and community goals. 4. To seek the cooperation of local and State elected officials in the fight against identified crimes. 5. To open lines of communication and cooperation with all citizens by creating Neighborhood Watch Zones throughout the City. 6. To create a City wide emphasis of being proud to participate in the City of New Braunfels' efforts to make the City a safer place to live and visit. 7. To keep all activities of this program free from political campaign and issues. WHAT IS A NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH?... A crime prevention program designed to reduce neighborhood crime. It combines two areas of citizens' responsibility; I. action taken by you calling the police during or after the act of a crime or suspicious activity; and, 2. action taken by improving the security of your home. Neighborhood Watch has proved to be an effective means for getting citizens to take positive steps to protect themselves and their neighbors against crime. The actions required to make a neighborhood safe from burglars also reduces the possibilities of street assaults, rape, street robberies and aas of vandalism. Awareness and involvement are keys to the success of a Neighborhood Watch. A watchful neighborhood with minimum crime is a more peaceful, secure and safe place in which to live. If security and safety have disappeared from your neighborhood, please realize you can change it for the better if you are willing to get involved and form a Neighborhood Watch. A Neighborhood Watch Program will make you feel more secure, safe and in control of your life. PLEASE TAKE ACTION NOW ...We encourage you to contact the SAFE CITY COMMISSION DIRECTOR, MIKE GRIST AT 625-3425 for information to start or re-activate a Neighborhood Watch in your area. In addition, if you desire information on SAFE CITY COMMISSION aaivities, please call the same number. We will work with you in helping to develop a Neighborhood Watch and other activities to reduce crime in our community. The Safe City Commission is a program which will live or die through its citizen support. The citizens of New Braunfels must understand that the program is one in which they, and they alone, will benefit. The Safe City Commission has the ability to be utilized in any location, city, county, or statewide. The effort is designed to bring citizens, friends and neighbors, together with the Police Department, and elected officials in a City wide crime prevention effort. Neighbors helping neighbors, citizens and Police officers, working hand in hand, face to face, toward a safer New Braunfels, will be a reality through the efforts and commitment of the people of New Braunfels and of the Safe City Commission. Consumer Tips Door-to-Door salespeople are prohibited by local ordinance #89-27 from soliciting at a residence or business where a "No Solicitors" notice is posted at or near the entrance. Solicitors may not attempt to collect money or property or take orders for merchandise (including show tickets or books of coupons to be traded in for goods or services). If an unwanted salesperson refuses to leave after having seen the posted notice, the resident or business owner may call the police department for assistance. Residents who elect to allow solicitation at their homes are additionally protected by both State and Federal law against unscrupulous salespeople. Since these sales are often made under pressure, a "cooling-off' period offers the purchaser time to reconsider. The Texas Home Solicitation Sales Act provides three (3) days to cancel a purchase of goods, insurance or services over $25.00. Both the "sales pitch" and actual purchase must be made in the purchaser's home. If negotiations arc begun at the seller's place of business, the resident is not protected, even if the contraa is signed and payment made in the home. Federal law offers additional protection by allowing three days to cancel when the sales pitch and purchase are made anywhere besides seller's place of business. Under Texas law, real estate purchases over S 100.00 may be canceled when the sales pitch and purchase made in the home of the purchaser. The law docs not apply when the buyer is represented by a lawyer or if a broker helps negotiate the sale. Some real estate transactions made away from home may be canceled; a lawyer can advise which ones. The purchaser must provide written notice of cancellation to the seller's business address by midnight of the third business day following the transaction. All door-to-door salespeople are required by law to provide purchasers with a Notice of Cancellation form and lo inform them of their nghi lo cancel. Tile form must contain the company's name and address and date of sale. It is a good idea to mail the notice certified mail, return receipt requested and retain a copy for your records. The seller must refund all money, return any documents signed by purchaser and anything traded in within ten (IO) days of receipt of cancellation request. During this period he must also indicate if he wants to pick up the merchandise or leave it with purchaser. There is no obligation to ship the goods back to sell tr, only to make them available at the residence If the seller does not ask for the merchandise within twenty (20) days, it is the purchaser's to keep. If he does want it, the purchaser must take good care of it until it is picked up. Neither Federal nor State law apply lo mail or telephone sales or to sales made in connection with immediate personal emergencies. Fire Prevention Bureau In August of 1989, the New Braunfels Fire Department Prevention Bureau created and implemented an Environmental Inspection Program. Operating within the city limits of New Braunfels, the program was developed in an effort to insure ordinance compliance concerning the overgrowth of Grass, Weeds, Brush and the accumulation of Trash. One of our goals in this program is to try to make the citizens of New Braunfels aware of the potential hazards associated with these conditions. Keeping your grass, weeds, and brush trimmed back serves more than just making your property look better. It also is a way to lessen the possibility of a grass or brush fire. Grass and brush fire whether located in an unpopulated rural area or a heavily populated residential area can be hostile in nature. If the fire has a sufficient amount of grass or weeds to bum it can spread very rapidly and cause severe damage if not total destruction. Many structures, fences and other types of property have fallen victim to what started out as an insignificant grass fire. Keeping grass and weeds cut to a height of less than twelve inches reduces the amount of fuel available and the potential for a fire to become out of control. Another advantage of keeping your grass and weeds cut back and trimmed is that you lessen the possibility of your property becoming infested with unwanted rodents, snakes, and fire ants to some degree. This is a benefit that we all can appreciate. By reducing the possibility of infestation by these undesirables, you increase the personal health aspect of your surroundings. The danger of snake bites and other health concerns would be greatly reduced if there was no inviting habitat for them. It is clearly a benefit to you the property owner to keep your property in a fashion that not only looks appealing but also reduces the risk of accidents involving fire and health. You work too hard for the property you own. And the health of you and your family members is priceless. The New Braunfels Fire Prevention Bureau is committed to the prevention of fire and dedicated to reducing loss of life. If you have any questions concerning the Environmental Inspection program please call at arca code 512-620-7921 Monday-Friday 8:00-5:00.

It is safe to say that few fees were billed at Clifford Chance yesterday amidst the logistical nightmare of having a chat with 880 lawyers and paralegals (see story).
All day, lawyers from each of the firm's eight practice groups piled into the firm's windowless auditorium to hear the same pep talk from London management partner Jeremy Sandelson: the decision to make around one in ten of them redundant was not taken lightly.
As preferable as cuts may be to underhand 'performance reviews', that will be scant consolation for those 70 to 80 London lawyers facing limited job prospects in a difficult market.
One headhunter said that half a dozen senior Clifford Chance banking and capital markets lawyers' CVs landed on her desk only yesterday as the news broke.
With a redundancy programme the size of Clifford Chance's, they will not be the last.
The firm will obviously try everything in its power to minimise the hit on morale and productivity, and is currently seeking several associate and paralegal representatives from each practice group to consult with management about the terms of the redundancies.
After 30-odd days, this is hoped to produce an impartial formula that will produce a list of 70 to 80 unlucky names.
Fair, but no less harsh.
Sandelson concluded yesterday with a more positive address to many of the firm's 140 trainees and March qualifiers, assuring them that their jobs were not at risk.
He impressed on them that he had been through several recessions before, and that cuts simply came with the territory. "Keep going" was the message.
In the circumstances, there's little other advice worth giving.

Investors looking to capitalize on growing work force needs and a changing pension landscape are snapping up shares of human resources consultant Morneau Shepell Inc.
Shares of the Toronto-based company, Canada's largest administrator of retirement and benefits plans, are trading near all-time highs amid a steady increase in revenue and profit.
While many analysts are now recommending investors take a breather, given the stock's recent rise, they're still positive on the company's long-term health and its attractive 4.5-per-cent dividend yield.
"I think people look at it as a very steady stock with some potential for upside from both acquisitions and organic growth," said CIBC World Markets analyst Stephanie Price. She has a "sector performer" rating on the stock, equivalent to a "hold," but recently increased her price target to $17.50 from $16.
Among six analysts who cover the stock, five have a "hold" recommendation and one a "buy," according to S&P Capital IQ. A handful of analysts have recently increased their price targets as the stock gains increased investor attention.
Just over half of Morneau Shepell's revenue comes from pension and benefit consulting and the rest from administering employee assistance programs, such as counselling and occupational health services.
Continuing pension reforms across Canada are poised to benefit the company; as pensions get more complex, more companies are relying on providers such as Morneau to design, develop and administer the plans. It is also expanding into the larger U.S. market, which accounted for about 6.5 per cent of revenue in 2013, up from 5.5 per cent in 2012.
Risks for Morneau include growing competition for employee pension and benefit services across North America, as well as its high debt levels, analysts say. GMP Securities analyst Stephen Boland recently downgraded the stock to "hold," but increased his target to $17 from $16.50. "Our outlook … has not changed," he said in a note, citing the company's "unique product line-up that produces steady recurring revenue growth."
Mr. Boland said the downgrade was because he didn't see a near-term event that would give the stock a boost.
The company is expected to continue making small acquisitions similar to its March purchase of Groupe AST, the largest workers' compensation provider in Quebec, from ADP Canada Co. It has made 13 other acquisitions between 1992 and 2013, but its growth has mostly been through existing operations.
Scotia Capital analyst Phil Hardie has a "sector perform" on the stock, but increased his target to $17 from $16 after Morneau reported first-quarter earnings in mid-May that were above expectations. "[The] results were supportive of our belief that high levels of recurring revenue, relatively stable margins, low capital investment requirements, and attractive yield continue to be key reasons to like this story," Mr. Hardie said in a note.
TD Securities analyst Graham Ryding increased his target to $18 from $16.50, while still maintaining a "hold." "We remain constructive on Morneau's outlook," he said in a note, but said further growth in the share price "may be somewhat limited."
The analyst consensus price target for Morneau shares over the next year is $17.25. That is slightly above its record $17.20 reached on the Toronto Stock Exchange on May 26, which was up 35 per cent from its 52-week low of $12.74 in August.
While the stock may be seen as expensive, National Bank Financial analyst Trevor Johnson has a "buy" on it, believing the company has strong, steady growth potential. "In the diversified space, investors are paying up for quality assets with good visibility and defensive cash flows," Mr. Johnson said. "It's more of a flight to quality and stability, which is why we see more upside with this one."Report Typo/Error

Chapter 8 p.2
Shem never acknowledged Mara through breakfast, and continued to ignore her the rest of the day as he did various chores near the hut and in the village, ostensibly to keep a leash on Brynn. As far as he was concerned, Mara was little more than a shadow that was haunting his foundling daughter. Mara never saw his son that day, but kept herself occupied talking to and working alongside Brynn. The girl was never still, but always hopping and humming like an agitated sparrow. At one point, she hopped so close to the wall that her wildly fluffy hair got snarled in the vines, and Mara had to help extract her, now being careful to not touch another person again. If I had known that touching someone alive let me see their memories in the first place I would have been more careful. That would have been nice information to tell me before I left, Joshua.
Mara, for her part, was secretly relieved to be treated as a ghost. It made being around people for the first time in three and a half hundred years less exhausting. Brynn was the only other person that lived in the hut who spoke to her, in brief spurts, as she danced around doing this or that. There was a smile on her face, but Mara had seen too much of her memories to be fooled by the smile. Brynn was unhappy, and the slight quiver at the corners of her mouth, the stiffened movements of her hips as she danced gave her away. The day passed in that tense half-silence between the three of them, Shem keeping an eye on his flight-prone commodity, Brynn putting on a brave face, and Mara tersely wondering what it was that she was supposed to do.
The next three days passed in the same manner, and on the morning of the fourth, Shem finally set out on his boat once more. Mara and Brynn saw Shem and his son off from the shore, as Mara secretly sent Kaze with them to be the most favorable wind that they've had in years. For all his silence, Shem was still her willing host, and Mara was determined to repay that kindness.

California Toyota dealers may or may not be running out of Priuses, but the hybrid is most certainly still popular. How else to explain the news that one million of the iconic fuel-mizers have been sold in the U.S., as Toyota just announced.
Back in mid-2008, the company said it had sold one million Priuses around the world, which was a big enough deal. To reach that landmark, it took around five years; the first Prius was introduced over a decade ago, but it was the second-generation Prius, introduced in 2003, that really sparked sales. It took Toyota only two more years to sell another million Priuses, and Toyota has sold over three million total hybrids as of October 2010. That sounds impressive, but Charlie Sheen got 3.4 million followers on Twitter in, like, a minute, so let's keep things in perspective.

Bermuda reinsurer Validus has announced a net income of £124 million for the first quarter of 2012.
Validus Holding's chairman and chief executive, Ed Noonan, said that he was pleased with the result, despite the firm absorbing what he described as 'meaningful' catastrophe losses.
"The net effect of the Costa Concordia loss, after the impact of reinstatement premiums was $63.1 million, which was within our pre-announced range of $50 million to $65 million," he said.
"The total effect of notable losses after reinstatement premiums was $84.5 million in the first quarter of 2012, as compared to $271.1 million for the first quarter of 2011. Validus continues to expand and leverage our core capabilities as evidenced by the announcement of the capitalization of PaCRe, Ltd. and continued development of AlphaCat. We have also received interest in, and are considering opportunities to, raise additional capital for one or more of our AlphaCat funds or managed accounts.
"These additional facilities allow Validus to better serve our customers, intermediaries and ultimately our shareholders through the growth of our business. With the January 1 and April 1 renewals behind us, we have plenty of capacity available for opportunities through the remainder of the year."

How To Lose Weight With Raspberry Ketone Max
Raspberry Ketone Max Diet Pills
Raspberry Ketone Max is a premium quality dietary pill that can help you shed excess fat. Although not a quick fix, Raspberry Ketone Max can accelerate the pace with which you lose weight through dieting and exercising.
In fact, if you consistently combine dieting, regular exercising, with Raspberry Ketone you can reach your weight loss goal much faster than you would by exercising or dieting alone. That's why it is important to remember that any dietary supplement that claims to be a miracle pill should be taken with a grain of salt — more often than not such claims are misleading. There's still no miracle formula you can take and sit on your couch all day and lose weight. If only things were that easy!
Raspberry Ketone Max is a natural solution with numerous clinical studies backing up its claims of fat burning and weight loss power. You won't have to worry about side effects given you follow the developers' dosage instructions. If you diligently follow your dieting and exercising plan you will be able to shed that stubborn fat away.

Chapter 8: The Dragon
The Dragon froze as he completed assuming his original form. Pieces clicked together in his head. He was the only creature who made fire, except... Man. His hatred grew from the depths he had shoved it down into, burning once again. Where, though?
He grabbed the nearest tree that could support his weight and shoved himself up into the air, using his wings to boost him higher. His wings strained to raise him into the air above the trees, but soon he was racing toward the pillar of smoke he saw in the distance like a maddened beast.
Men. They had to be responsible. First his family, then his wings, and now the forest. They simply couldn't leave him be, could they? The Dragon's roar blasted as he flew onward, fire escaping his mouth with his verbal rage. Where was the Unicorn in all of this? She had left a little before he started smelling the fire, but it could have been coincidence. Or was it?
The Dragon ignored the thought. He was upon the fire. Now, to stem the expansion.
Hovering over the edge, he took a deep breath and blasted his flames into the edge of the fire, burning the section that fueled the fire. It was a technique taught to him by his elder brother. A brief longing to see the larger dragon once more came to the Dragon, but passed in the wake of the destruction before him. It was a large section that blazed.
Creatures escaped the area, all yelling about a monster that he assumed was himself. They did not understand his method and most likely blamed him for the fire. Fools, though he could not truly fault them for ignorance. In time, they might understand.
It took longer than expected, but the Dragon had stemmed the flames and prevented them from expanding. The river running through the forest helped with that, of course. He landed in the smoldering area that still burned in places to look around for signs of men's presence, or worse. The flames licked his body as he passed, but they were but a warm touch to his scales.
A deep growl reverberated in the Dragon's throat when he arrived upon the edge of the river. On the ground in front of him lay a single flying dagger. His wings ached and trembled as he remembered how many had been stuck in him just a day before.
He roared, sending any birds that still remained nearby flying away, and leaped into the air. His wings carried him high and soon he was racing once again through the skies, but this time towards the fortress he had encountered before. This time he would get revenge for both his family and the forest. His debt to the Unicorn demanded as much.
The fortress came into view. The Dragon wanted to rush in and kill the feeble men that dared commit atrocities against nature itself, but instead hovered in the air. He was torn. His anger demanded retribution immediately, but his mind screamed for him to be cautious. Last time they had forced him away. He knew he still could not win.
The Dragon landed some ways away from the insufferable men's den. The small forest around him gave some cover, though the animals escaping the growling mass of scales they just saw land was worrisome. He ignored them and stared at the fortress in the distance, glowering.
It was then that an idea formed. An idea that he hated almost more than he hated the men and their daggers. Men hunted animals of the forest, with the exception of their tamed ones. The Dragon's pride would not allow him to take the form of something subservient to man, though. But, there was another way to get into their abysmal town without being stopped.
The idea he thought up repulsed him to such an extent that he almost actually felt sick, but he knew it was ideal. After all, who but a man could walk through that place inconspicuously? After this, however, he was never going to take the horrid form again.
And so the Dragon transformed into a human. He pictured it clearly in his mind. Tall, for he would not be looked down on even in that crude form, and strong. He could not control what part would remain of his true form, but hoped it would not be enough to cause suspicion.
The Dragon opened his eyes to his scaled feet.
He had not changed at all! He tried to change into a fox. It almost worked, but something made it hard. He couldn't quite achieve the change. Had it been the forest making it easier? The Dragon clenched his jaw, letting tufts of flame escape through his teeth. He was fed up with the men, his own inability, and his situation!
'Patience,' He thought, breathing deeply, his inner rage calming to a small blaze. He would work on his transformation outside of the forest and then go in. He would find out who had lit the forest on fire and kill them. Then, he would find the men responsible for his brood's disappearance and eat them.
First came preparation.
He focused on transforming once again, to a fox once more. His body felt the change, but still would not conform. It took nearly the entire afternoon to accomplish what had once taken a few minutes. And once he had achieved the fox form, he struggled to maintain it. Why was this so hard?
He leaped out of the forest and raced towards the town surrounding the fortress. He would try to turn into a man again later. For now, he scouted for anything he could. He wanted to kill all the men, but that would lead to his death. Dragons had learned that long ago. He would have to settle with the ones who had assaulted him and the forest directly.
As a fox, the Dragon ran onward.

The OC Weekly has a really interesting story up on documentarian David Di Sabatino and his new film Fallen Angel: The Outlaw Larry Norman — and it includes a quote from yours truly. I have not seen the new film yet, but I hope to soon, as I found Di Sabatino's previous film, Frisbee: The Life and Death of a Hippie Preacher (2005), quite fascinating, and everything I have heard about Norman suggests that he was, at minimum, a rather dramatic character. Definite movie fodder there.

Jump (status)
this wiki
Jump, also called Jumping, is a recurring status in the series. It is associated with the Jump ability, and allows the user to become untargetable until they have finished their attack. In the games it appears in, it is generally unnamed.
Final Fantasy IVEdit
Jump is a temporary status that wears off when the command is completed. The Jump status is timed, and having high Agility reduces the duration of this timer. The character jumps into the air and eventually lands on the monster. A powered up attack is the result of the timer ending normally.
This status is granted when the Jump command is executed. All physical attacks on this target are redirected. All single targeted magical attacks on this target are ignored or missed. All multi-target magical attacks subtract targets with this status in the magic damage algorithm. Any status effect that has a timer is temporarily stopped. Once the character lands on the target, the status is removed. Any status effect that has a timer continues to run afterwards.
The player won't see a status description while the status is granted on the character when they are selecting a Cure or Esuna spell or healing items.
Final Fantasy VEdit
This status is caused when using the Jump and the dummied Hishou command. A jumping character can't be targeted by nothing but the enemy ability Interceptor, used by Mecha Head. The effect is dispelled when jump is finished.
Final Fantasy TacticsEdit
A unit who has selected the Dragoon's "Jump" ability will leap high upwards, going offscreen, and cannot be targeted while in this condition. The unit will come back to the field later in a given turn, landing in the tile they targeted.

Hello, PCOD a problem in which a woman's hormones are out of balance. It can cause problems with your periods and make it difficult to get pregnant. PCOD also may cause unwanted changes in the way you look. If it isn't treated, over time it can lead to serious health problems, such as diabetes and heart disease. The most common symptoms are: Acne.Weight gain and trouble losing weight.Extra hair on the face and body.Thinning hair or even hair loss on scalp.Irregular periods. Often women with PCOD have fewer than nine periods a year. Some women have no periods. Others have very heavy bleeding.Fertility problems. Many women who have PCOD have trouble getting pregnant(infertility), depression. Regular exercise, healthy foods, and weight control are the key treatments for PCOD . Treatment (hormonal) can reduce unpleasant symptoms and help prevent long-term health problems. Try to fit in moderate activity and/or vigorous activity often. Brisk Walking, jogging, dance or aerobics are great exercise that most people can do.Eat heart-healthy foods. This includes lots of vegetables, fruits, nuts, beans, and whole grains. It limits foods that are high insaturated fat, such as meats, cheeses, and fried foods.Most women who have PCOD can benefit from losing weight. Even losing 5kg may help get your hormones in balance, regulate your menstrual cycle and can make you ovulate.

The industrial design program at Carleton University School of Industrial Design prepares graduates for professional practice. Industrial designers work in teams where they contribute to the development of products, systems and services. The Bachelor of Industrial Design (BID) degree requires education and experience in anticipating psychological, physiological and sociological factors that influence design decisions. In the case of tangible products or systems, the industrial designer needs to have a good grasp of manufacturing materials as well as physical principles. A blend of creative, technical, and social science competencies is therefore important.
The industrial designer is often responsible for communicating and contextualizing conceptual ideas in an interdisciplinary team that may involve anthropologists, management, marketing, engineering, and manufacturing specialists. This requires graduates who have a unique contribution in such an interdisciplinary environment and who are adept at working with professionals from other fields as well as their own.
The Bachelor of Industrial Design program is structured to meet the professional requirements of industrial design practice. Design studios currently form the core of the program. Program requirements also include courses in psychology, physics, math, economics, and marketing, which provide a solid academic background in areas relevant to the practice of industrial design. Students with qualifying grades have the opportunity to take a co-operative industrial design option. They may also choose to have a Minor in another area of concentration such as Business, Psychology, and Technology, Society, Environment Studies, among others.
The program maintains strong ties with other Carleton University units including the Eric Sprott School of Business, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Department of Psychology, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism, School of Information Technology, and the Technology, Society, Environment Studies program. This allows it to continue to provide the widest educational opportunities in industrial design in Ontario and Canada.

Not All...
"Excuse me, Miss, but I would give almost all of my powers. Would that be fine?" I said softly reaching my hand out. Shadow seemed to think otherwise.
"Ami, what are you doing?!"
"Trying to save my friends." 'Onyx brought me closer, into her own dome. She pushed her hand through, to touch mine.
"You may take two powers away. No more." she said. She let me go back to my friends for a moment.
"I can leave with two of my powers. The rest I ave to give up." I sighed. They nodded. I thought very carefully about my choice. Onyx took me back to her dome. "Your decision?" she asked.
"I wish to keep my fire abilty, and my shapeshifting ability."
"If you keep the shapeshifting power, you can change into a siren for underwater, a swallow for the air, a leopard for land, and the human form."
"Fine. Take the rest." I said, closing my eyes, ready for my powers to be drained. She took both of my hands in hers, pricked the palms with her long nails, then dropped a few cups of water over my hands. With each cupful, I felt weaker, nd weaker. When she stopped, she put me into the bubble with my friends.
"Which powers did you keep?" Shadow asked.
"Limited shapeshifting, for quick get aways and stuff, and fire."
"Why fire?"
"It's the most unusual and unexplinable, and I loke to watch it dance, and to make it dance."

Introducing the Microsoft .NET Framework • At the development end of the .NET vision is the .NET Framework (Microsoft JDK?) that contains: – The Common Language Runtime, – The .NET Framework Classes, and – higher-level features like ASP.NET and WinForms for developing desktop applications. • The Common Language Runtime (CLR) (Microsoft JRE?) manages the execution of code compiled for the .NET platform. The CLR has two features: – Its specification has been opened up so that it can be ported to non-Windows platforms. – Any number of different languages can be used to manipulate the .NET framework classes, and the CLR will support them. C# • Not all of the supported languages fit entirely neatly into the .NET framework, but the one language that is guaranteed to fit in perfectly is C#. • C# (C Sharp), a successor to C++, has been released in conjunction with the .NET framework. • C# design goals: – – – – – Be comfortable for C++ programmer Fit cleanly into the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) Simplify the C++ model Provide the right amount of flexibility Support component-centric development C# versus Java (Similarity) • C# and Java are both languages descended from C and C++. • Each includes advanced features, like garbage collection, which remove some of the low level maintenance tasks from the programmer. In a lot of areas they are syntactically similar. • Both C# and Java compile initially to an intermediate language: – C# to Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), and Java to Java bytecode. – In each case the intermediate language can be run - by interpretation or just-in-time compilation - on an appropriate virtual machine. In C#, however, more support is given for the further compilation of the intermediate language code into native code. • Like Java, C# gives up on multiple class inheritance in favor of a single inheritance model. C# supports the multiple inheritance of interfaces. C# versus Java (Differences) • C# contains more primitive data types than Java, and also allows more extension to the value types. – For example, C# supports enumerations, type-safe value types which are limited to a defined set of constant variables, and structs, which are user-defined value types . – Java doesn't have enumerations, but can specify a class to emulate them . • Unlike Java, C# has the useful feature that we can overload various operators. • However, polymorphism is handled in a more complicated fashion, with derived class methods either overriding or hiding super class methods. • In Java, multi-dimensional arrays are implemented solely with single-dimensional arrays where arrays can be members of other arrays. In addition to jagged arrays, however, C# also implements genuine rectangular arrays. C# versus C++ (Differences) • C# uses delegates - type-safe method pointers. These are used to implement event-handling. • Although it has some elements derived from Visual Basic and Java, C++ is C#'s closest relative. • In an important change from C++, C# code does not require header files. All code is written inline. • The .NET runtime in which C# runs performs memory management takes care of tasks like garbage collection. Because of this, the use of pointers in C# is much less important than in C++. • Pointers can be used in C#, where the code is marked as unsafe, but they are only really useful in situations where performance gains are at an absolute premium. • Generally speaking, all C# types is ultimately derived from the object type. C# versus C++ (Differences) • There are also specific differences in the way that certain common types can be used. For instance, C# arrays are bounds checked unlike in C++, and it is therefore not possible to write past the end of a C# array. • C# statements are quite similar to C++ statements. To note just one example of a difference: the 'switch' statements has been changed so that 'fall-through' behavior is disallowed. • As mentioned above, C# gives up on the idea of multiple class inheritance. Other differences relating to the use of classes are: there is support for class 'properties' of the kind found in Visual Basic, and class methods are called using the . operator rather than the :: operator. Getting Started – Hello World! • In order to use C# and the .NET framework classes, first install the .NET framework SDK. • Write the C# code. using System; public class HelloWorld { public static void Main() { // This is a single line comment. /* * This is a multiple line comment. */ Console.WriteLine("Hello World!"); } } • To compile the program on Mono, use the command: mcs HelloWorld.cs (csc HelloWorld.cs in .NET framework SDK) • To run the program on Mono: mono HelloWorld.exe Variable Types • C# is a type-safe language. Variables are declared as being of a particular type, and each variable is constrained to hold only values of its declared type. • Variables can hold either value types or reference types, or they can be pointers. • A variable of value types directly contains only an object with the value. • A variable of reference type directly contains a reference to an object. Another variable many contain a reference to the same object. • It is possible in C# to define your own value types by declaring enumerations or structs. C# Pre-defined Value Types C# Type .Net Framework Type Signed Bytes Possible Values sbyte System.sbyte Yes 1 -128 to 127 short System.Int16 Yes 2 -32768 to 32767 int System.Int32 Yes 4 231 to 231 - 1 long System.Int64 Yes 8 263 to 263 - 1 byte System.Byte No 1 0 to 255 ushort System.Uint16 No 2 0 to 65535 uint System.Uint32 No 4 0 to 232 - 1 ulong System.Uint64 No 8 0 to 264 - 1 float System.Single Yes 4 ±1.5 x 10-45 to ±3.4 x 1038 with 7 significant figures double System.Double Yes 8 ±5.0 x 10-324 to ±1.7 x 10308 with 15 or 16 significant figures decimal System.Decimal Yes 12 ±1.0 x 10-28 to ±7.9 x 1028 with 28 or 29 significant figures char System.Char N/A 2 Any Unicode character bool System.Boolean N/A 1/2 true or false Value Types • Value Types: int x = 10; • Reference Types: New reference types can be defined using 'class', 'interface', and 'delegate' declarations object. object x = new object(); x.myValue = 10; • Escape Sequences and Verbatim Strings string a = "\"Hello World\nHow are you\""; • Boxing: C# allows you convert any value type to a corresponding reference type, and to convert the resultant 'boxed' type back again. int i = 123; object box = i; if (box is int) {Console.Write("Box contains an int");} // this line is printed Pointers • A pointer is a variable that holds the memory address of another type. In C#, pointers can only be declared to hold the memory addresses of value types. • Pointers are declared implicitly, using the dereferencer symbol *. The operator & returns the memory address of the variable it prefixes. • Example: What is the value of i? int i = 5; int *p; p = &i; *p = 10; • The use of pointers is restricted to code which is marked as unsafe (memory access). Pointers • To address the problem of garbage collection, one can declare a pointer within a fixed expression. • Any value types declared within unsafe code are automatically fixed, and will generate compile-time errors if used within fixed expressions. The same is not true for reference types. • Although pointers usually can only be used with value types, an exception to this involves arrays. • A pointer can be declared in relation to an array, as in the following: int[] a = {4, 5}; int *b = a; What happens in this case is that the memory location held by b is the location of the first type held by a. Arrays • Single-dimensional arrays have a single dimension int[] i = new int[100]; • C# supports two types of multidimensional arrays: rectangular and jagged. – A rectangular array is a multidimensional array that has the fixed dimensions' sizes. int[,] squareArray = new int[2,3]; int[,] squareArray = {{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}}; – A jagged arrays is a multidimensional array that has the irregular dimensions' sizes. int[][] jag = new int[2][]; jag[0] = new int [4]; jag[1] = new int [6]; int[][] jag = new int[][] {new int[] {1, 2, 3, 4}, new int[] {5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}}; Enumerations • An enumeration is a special kind of value type limited to a restricted and unchangeable set of numerical values. • When we define an enumeration we provide literals which are then used as constants for their corresponding values. The following code shows an example of such a definition: public enum DAYS { Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday}; enum byteEnum : byte {A, B}; • Instead, the numerical values are set up according to the following two rules: – For the first literal: if it is unassigned, set its value to 0. – For any other literal: if it is unassigned, then set its value to one greater than the value of the preceding literal. Enumerations using System; public class EnumTest { public enum DAYS: byte {Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday}; public static void Main() { Array dayArray = Enum.GetValues(typeof(EnumTest.DAYS)); foreach (DAYS day in dayArray) Console.WriteLine("Number {1} of EnumTest.DAYS is {0}", day, day.ToString("d")); } } Enumerations • Console.WriteLine("Number {1} of EnumTest.DAYS is {0}", day, day.ToString("d")) is equivalent to: Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Number {1} of EnumTest.DAYS is {0}", day, day.ToString("d"))); • And what the String.Format method does is to take textual representations of the objects it is passed as parameters, and slots them into the appropriate places within the format string it is passed. So this line of code is basically equivalent to: Console.WriteLine("Number " + day.ToString("d").ToString() + " of EnumTest.DAYS is " + day.ToString()); • The ToString method can take a single IFormatProvider parameter which indicates how the string conversion should be conducted. Values for this parameter can include things like g, d, x, f, etc. Operators • C# has a number of standard operators, taken from C, C++ and Java. Most of these should be quite familiar to programmers. • To overload an operator in a class, one defines a method using the operator keyword. For instance, the following code overloads the equality operator. public static bool operator == (Value a, Value b) { return a.Int == b.Int } Where an operator is one of a logical pair, both operators should be overwritten if any one is. Jump and Selection Statements • The break statement breaks out of the while and for loops. • The continue statement can be placed in any loop structure. • The goto statement is used to make a jump to a particular labeled part of the program code. • If-else statements are used to run blocks of code conditionally upon a boolean expression evaluating to true. • Switch statements provide a clean way of writing multiple if - else statements. Loop Statements • while loops while (expression) statement[s] • do-while loops do statement[s] while (expression) • for loops for (statement1; expression; statement2) statement[s]3 • foreach loops foreach (variable1 in variable2) statement[s] int[] a = new int[]{1,2,3}; foreach (int b in a) System.Console.WriteLine(b); Classes and Structs • Classes provide templates from which objects – instances of those classes, can be generated. A class specifies a type and the constitutive elements (type members) of that type. • A class can specify two main kinds of type members: – A class can specify other types – both value and reference. Types can contain other types, that is known as containment, or else aggregation. – A class can specify methods – functions designed for reading and manipulating the value and reference types an instance contains. • C# classes can inherit from a single base class or from any number of interfaces. Namespaces • Namespaces can be thought of as collections of classes; they provide unique identifiers for types by placing them in an hierarchical structure. • To use the System.Security.Cryptography.AsymmetricAlgorithm class, specify it in the following statement: using System.Security.Cryptography; • An alias for the namespace can be specified as using myAlias = System.Security.Cryptography; • For instance, the following code states that the class Adder is in the namespace fred.math. namespace fred { namespace math { public class Adder { // insert code here } } } Class Declaration • Class declarations can have up to four different parts, surrounding the class keyword: attributes class-modifiers class class-base class-body • The class-body element specifies type members. The following is an example of a class declaration: public class Shape { // class-body } • Attributes can be posted at the front of a class declaration. These comprise user-defined meta-data about the class; information which can be brought out at runtime. Class Declaration • There are seven different - optional - class modifiers. Four of these – public, internal, protected, and private – are used to specify the access levels of the types defined by the classes. – The public keyword identifies a type as fully accessible to all other types. – If a class is declared as internal, the type it defines is accessible only to types within the same assembly (a selfcontained 'unit of packaging' containing code, metadata etc.). – If a class is declared as protected, its type is accessible by a containing type and any type that inherits from this containing type. – Where a class is declared as private, access to the type it defines is limited to a containing type only. Class Declaration • The permissions allowed by protected internal are those allowed by the protected level plus those allowed by the internal level. • The new keyword can be used for nested classes. • A class declared as abstract cannot itself be instanced it is designed only to be a base class for inheritance. • A class declared as sealed cannot be inherited from. Class Declaration • The class base part of the class declaration specifies the name of the class and any classes that it inherits from. • The following line declares a public class called DrawingRectangle which inherits from the base class Rectangle and the interface Drawing: public class DrawingRectangle : Rectangle, Drawing • Interfaces are declared in much the same way as standard classes, except that they use the keyword interface in place of the keyword class. For instance: public interface Drawing Methods • Methods are operations associated with types. int sum = Arithmetic.addTwoIntegers(4, 7); • A method declaration, specified within a class declaration, comprises a method-head and a methodbody. • The method-head is made up of the following elements (square brackets enclose those which are optional). [attributes] [method-modifiers] return-type methodname ([ formal-parameter-list] ) • Method attributes work in a similar way to those for classes. Methods • There are ten method modifiers that can be used. Four of these are the access modifiers that can be used in class declarations. These four work analogously to the way they work in class declarations. The others are the following: – Abstract: A method without specifying its body. Such methods are themselves termed abstract. A class contains an abstract method it cannot be instantiated. – The static modifier declares a method to be a class method (a method that can be invoked without an instance). • Namespaces (Packages in Java) can be thought of as collections of classes; they provide unique identifiers for types by placing them in an hierarchical structure. Polymorphism (Inherited Methods) • C# supports two different ways of method overwriting hiding or overriding. Note that the term 'overwrite' is a term we have devised to cover both hiding and overriding. • Method overwriting makes use of the following three method-head keywords: new, virtual, override • The main difference between hiding and overriding relates to the choice of which method to call where the declared class of a variable is different to the run-time class of the object it references. Constants, Fields, Properties and Indexers • Fields are variables associated with either classes or instances of classes. • There are seven modifiers which can be used in their declarations. These include the four access modifiers public, protected, internal and private and the new keyword. • The two remaining modifiers are: – Static: By default, fields are associated with class instances. Use of the static keyword, however, associates a field with a class itself, so there will only ever be one such field per class, regardless of the number of the class instances. – Readonly: Where a field is readonly, its value can be set only once. Constants, Fields, Properties and Indexers • Constants are unchanging types, associated with classes, that are accessible at compile time. Because of this latter fact, constants can only be value types rather than reference types. public const int area = 4; • Properties can be thought of as virtual fields. From the outside, a class' property looks just like a field. But from the inside, the property is generated using the actual class fields. • If properties are virtual fields, indexers are more like virtual arrays. They allow a class to emulate an array, where the elements of this array are actually dynamically generated by function calls. Classes, Objects, and Methods class StackClass { string myString; private int [] stack_ref; private int max_len, top_index; public StackClass() { // A constructor stack_ref = new int [100]; max_len = 99; top_index = -1; } public void push (int number) { if (top_index == max_len) Console.WriteLine("Error in push-stack is full"); else stack_ref[++top_index] = number; } public void pop () { if (top_index == -1) Console.WriteLine("Error in push-stack is empty"); else --top_index; } public int top () {return (stack_ref[top_index]);} public bool empty () {return (top_index == -1);} } Classes, Objects, and Methods class StockExample { public static void Main (string[] args) { StackClass myStack = new StackClass(); myStack.push(42); myStack.push(29); Console.WriteLine("29 is: {0}", myStack.top()); myStack.pop(); Console.WriteLine("42 is: {0}", myStack.top()); myStack.pop(); myStack.pop(); // Produces an error message } } Delegates and Events • Delegates are reference types which allow indirect calls to methods. – A delegate instance holds references to some number of methods, and by invoking the delegate one causes all of these methods to be called. – The usefulness of delegates lies in the fact that the functions which invoke them are blind to the underlying methods. • It can be seen that delegates are functionally rather similar to C++'s function pointers. However, it is important to bear in mind two main differences. – Firstly, delegates are reference types rather than value types. – Secondly, some single delegates can reference multiple methods. Delegates and Events • Delegates can be specified on their own in a namespace, or else can be specified within another class. In each case, the declaration specifies a new class, which inherits from System.MulticastDelegate. • Each delegate is limited to referencing methods of a particular kind only. – The type is indicated by the delegate declaration – the input parameters and return type given in the delegate declaration must be shared by the methods its delegate instances reference. • To illustrate this: a delegate specified as below can be used to refer only to methods which have a single String input and no return value. Delegates and Events • public delegate void Print (String s); • Suppose, for instance, that a class contains the following method: public void realMethod (String myString) { // method code } • Another method in this class could then instantiate the Print delegate in the following way, so that it holds a reference to realMethod; Print delegateVariable = new Print(realMethod); Delegates and Events • We can note two important points about this example. Firstly, the unqualified method passed to the delegate constructor is implicitly recognized as a method of the instance passing it. That is, the code is equivalent to: Print delegateVariable = new Print(this.realMethod); • We can, however, in the same way pass to the delegate constructor the methods of other class instances, or even static class methods. In the case of the former, the instance must exist at the time the method reference is passed. In the case of the latter (exemplified below), the class need never be instantiated. Print delegateVariable = new Print(ExampleClass.exampleMethod); Delegates and Events • The second thing to note about the example is that all delegates can be constructed in this fashion, to create a delegate instance which refers to a single method. • However, as we noted before, some delegates – termed multicast delegates – can simultaneously reference multiple methods. These delegates must - like our Print delegate – specify a void return type. • The method invocation is termed an event, and the running of the method is the handling of the event. An typical example of an event is a user's selection of a button on a graphical user interface; this action may trigger a number of methods to handle it. • The event keyword is used to declare a particular multicast delegate. Delegates using System; using System.Threading; public class Ticker { private int i = 0; public void Tick(Object obj) { Console.WriteLine("tick " + ++i); } } public class DelegateExample { static void Main(string[] args) { Ticker ticker = new Ticker(); TimerCallback tickDelegate = new TimerCallback(ticker.Tick); new Timer(tickDelegate, null, 0, 500); Thread.Sleep(5000); // The main thread will now sleep for 5 seconds: } } Input/Output using System; using System.IO; class DisplayFile { static void Main(string[] args) { StreamReader r = new StreamReader(args[0]); string line; Console.Write("Out File Name: "); StreamWriter w = new StreamWriter(Console.ReadLine()); while((line = r.ReadLine()) != null) { Console.WriteLine(line); w.WriteLine(line); } r.Close(); w.Close(); } } Exceptions • The exception handling in C#, and Java is quite similar. However, C# follows C++ in allowing the author to ignore more of the exceptions that might be thrown (an exception which is thrown but not caught will halt the program and may throw up a dialogue box). • To catch a particular type of exception in a piece of code, you have to first wrap it in a try block and then specify a catch block matching that type of exception. • When an exception occurs in code within the try block, the code execution moves to the end of the try box and looks for an appropriate exception handler. Exceptions • For instance, the following piece of code demonstrates catching an exception specifically generated by division by zero: try { res = (num / 0); catch (System.DivideByZeroException e) { Console.WriteLine("Error: an attempt to divide by zero"); } } • You can specify multiple catch blocks (following each other), to catch different types of exception. A program can throw exceptions - including customized exceptions. Exceptions using System; public class ExceptionDemo { public static void Main () { try { getException(); } catch (Exception e) { Console.WriteLine("We got an exception"); } finally { Console.WriteLine("The end of the program"); } } public static void getException() { throw new Exception(); } } Using the C# Compiler • As we have noted earlier, C# classes are compiled in the first place to the Common Language Runtime Intermediate Language (IL). csc file.cs (mcs file.cs in mono) • Where the required classes are held in more than one file, these should be listed, separated by spaces, as in: csc file1.cs file2.cs • Broadly speaking, one can compile C# classes into either executable files or dynamic link library - DLL - files with the /t switch. • Preprocessor directives tags included within class specifications; they are used to give the compiler additional information about regions of code. Code Documentation • The C# compiler supports the automatic creation of class documentation. – Where the equivalent functionality for Java produces HTML, the C# documenter produces XML. – This means that the C# documentation is not as immediately ready to use as the Java documentation. – However, it does allow there to be different applications which can import and use the C# documentation in different ways. (Note: using Visual Studio you can also create HTML documentation, but we will not be covering this here). • To document any element in a C# script, you precede the element with XML elements. Each of the lines comprising this documentary code should be marked off as comments using the following special comment indicator (you can compare this with the standard comment indicators). Code Documentation • The following code gives an example of how one can provide overview information about a class. /// <summary> /// The myClass class represents an arbitrary class /// </summary> public class myClass • Generating C# Documentation – You tell the compiler to produce documentation when compiling by invoking it with the switch: /doc:file – In this switch, file represents the name of the file that you want the documentation written to. As the documentation is generated in xml format, the file should have the extension .xml. So, for instance, to produce the documentation for a program in sys.cs file in a file named my.xml, we would use the command: csc sys.cs /doc:my.xml Socket Programming (TCP) • The C# API provides TCP streams by the following classes: – TcpListener - This class listens for connections from TCP network clients. – TcpClient - This class Provides client connections for TCP network services. – Socket- implements the Berkeley sockets interface. • TcpListener(IPAddress, Port): – AcceptTcpClient - a blocking method that returns a TcpClient you can use to send and receive data. Start - Starts listening for incoming connection requests. – AcceptSocket - a blocking method that returns a Socket you can use to send and receive data. – Close - Closes the listener. Socket Programming (TCP) • TcpClient ( string hostname, int port ); : – GetStream - returns the NetworkStream used to send and receive data. – Close: Closes the TCP connection and releases all resources associated with the TcpClient. • NetworkStream – int Read (byte[] buffer, int offset, int size) - Reads data from the NetworkStream. – Write (byte[] buffer, int offset, int size) - Writes data to the NetworkStream. – Close - Closes the NetworkStream. Socket Programming (UDP) • The C# API provides UDP streams by the following classes: – UdpClient - This class Provides User Datagram Protocol (UDP) network services. • UdpClient Constructor: – public UdpClient( AddressFamily family ); – public UdpClient( int port ); – public UdpClient( IPEndPoint localEP ); – public UdpClient( int port, AddressFamily family ); – public UdpClient( string hostname, int port ); • IPEndPoint: Initializes a new instance of the IPEndPoint class. – public IPEndPoint( long address, int port ) – public IPEndPoint( IPAddress address, int port ); Socket Programming (UDP) • UdpClient: – public byte[] Receive( ref IPEndPoint remoteEP ): Returns a UDP datagram that was sent by a remote host. – Send: Sends a UDP datagram to a remote host. • public int Send( byte[] dgram, int bytes) • public int Send( byte[] dgram, int bytes, IPEndPoint endPoint ); • public int Send( byte[] dgram, int bytes, string hostname, int port ); – Closes the UDP connection.

Makaha Beach is Oahu's second most popular snorkeling site. The clear, aqua blue water with little current is superb for snorkeling in summer. There are underwater caverns, arches, and tunnels as deep as 40 feet. Sea life includes schools of taape, octopuses, several species of eels, green sea turtles, transiting dolphins, and sometimes manta and eagle rays.
Across from Makaha State Beach, is a Souvenir and Ocean sports equipment shop, where you can either purchase or rent various equipment to enjoy ocean sports.
One of the nicest, most peaceful and calm beaches in the area, both summer and winter, is called Waianae Beach at Pokai Bay. Located on this beach is the Recreation Area and the Waianae Beach Resort for the Military. It is located about 5 minutes from the house by car going south, just after passing Seven Eleven, and turning right on Army Street. Park on the street, and bring photo ID to pass the Security Gate. The Waianae Beach Club offers great food, and a fantastic ocean view from the dining lanai. The Club restaurant has restricted times of service. Kayaks, boats, and other beach accessories can be rented right there on the beach. A small store is conveniently located on the beach, stocked with all necessities for an enjoyable time at the beach.
Visit the Disney Resort at Koolina, which is located about 20 minutes south of the property.
For a round of golf or a brunch, check out the Makaha Resort and Golf Club, which is just 5 minutes from the house.

Oil giant BP faces a flood of legal claims from big British investors over the Gulf of Mexico spill after it lost a key courtroom battle in Texas to get their cases thrown out.
The investors, which include pension funds for several London boroughs and BP's arch rival, Shell, are suing in the US, where they are likely to win far-bigger payouts than they could in Britain.
BP, headed by chief executive Bob Dudley, had argued claimants should be forced to have their cases heard in England, but US District Judge Keith P Ellison has just rejected the argument in a series of key rulings that could lead to many other foreign investors flocking to the US courts.
Westminster Council, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and dozens of other pension funds are suing for compensation due to the collapse in the price of both BP shares traded in London and its New York Stock Exchange shares known as American Depository Receipts.
The British investors are being represented by the class-action lawsuit specialist Pomerantz Law, whose partner, Jeremy Lieberman, said of the judgements: "These decisions are ground-breaking."
He said they establish for the first time that cases involving losses to foreign-traded shares can still be heard in the US, especially if the events surrounding the claim — in this case the Deepwater Horizon disaster – occurred in America.
"Critically, UK pension funds and asset managers, who suffered significant losses related to their BP investments, will now have their day in court to recoup losses for their fiduciaries," he added.
Pomerantz has assembled more than 30 major BP shareholders from the UK, France, Canada, Holland and Australia to sue for the losses incurred on the shares they bought before the 2010 explosion, which led to 11 deaths and happened under the stewardship of then chief executive Tony Hayward.
Other investors are likely to join the suit, which is being prosecuted on a no-win-no-fee basis.
A BP spokesman said: "BP believes that all of the plaintiffs' securities claims relating to the Deepwater Horizon accident are meritless, and it will continue to vigorously dispute them."Reuse content

"I am sorry for my son's rudeness," the queen sighed as we sat down at the desk and she got the papers out.
I didn't answer, still upset. The king knocked on the door and both men walked in.
"Forgive our intrusion," he said. "We have arrived for two reasons."
"One reason," Cian hissed.
"Silence, Cian!" his father yelled suddenly and Cian took a step back in shock. "Enough with this attitude of yours! It is going to happen whether you wish it to or not!"
Cian just shook his head and crossed his arms, leaning against the wall. The king sighed and turned back to us.
"First, I am looking for the history book on the war that burned down the village to the south."
The queen got up and browsed a group of books by the window. I smoothly hid the paper with the alphabet on it under a medical book.
"I think this one will have the information you want," she said, passing it over. "And the second reason?"
"Is absolutely ridiculous," Cian said through clenched teeth.
"I have a request for you, Viveka," he said and I sat up straighter. "As you have noticed, my son lacks... manners."
"That's obvious," I said.
"Because she's so much better," Cian said at the same time and we glared at each other.
"I know you still feel... guilty for how you spoke to my wife." I shifted uncomfortably in my seat. "I also know that, being Miles' daughter, you were given strict lessons in manners. Am I correct?"
I narrowed my eyes. "Where is this going, your highness?"
"My son needs lessons but we are too busy. Would you be willing to do it?"
I laughed, unable to stop myself. I snorted.
"Me?" I repeated. "I don't know if that's such a good idea."
"Why not?" he asked.
"Put us in a room together and one of two things will happen: Only one will come out alive, or the palace may burn down."
"She has a point," Cian said.
"We would be most appreciative," Queen Darcey said. "My husband speaks the truth: as you know, I can only see you twice a week for I am so busy."
I bit my lower lip. I had been very rude to the queen and they were being very kind to me. But be alone in a room with Lord Cian and teaching him manners? But I sighed.
"My father would insist I do it," I said quietly, "so I will. But only because I am atoning for how I spoke and because, as I said, my father would want me to."
"Great!" the king said. "We will begin tomorrow." He turned to the queen. "Thank you for the book. Cian, you-"
He had already left the room. The king shook his head.
"My dear, why is his cheek bruised?" the queen asked. "It wasn't there this morning...."
The king smirked. "He had a run in with an old friend," he said and I pounded my fist on the table.
"I'll kill him!" I yelled.
"I never said who it was," the king said slowly.
"You don't need to, your highness," I sighed. "Chester has always been...."
"He was defending you," the king said with a shrug. "Now, please excuse me. Cian and I need to read up on this village."
"Very well," the queen said and sat down beside me. "Today we will begin with tracing the letters."
"Why?" I asked. "Shouldn't I learn how to read them first?"
"It's easier to recognize a letter when you can write it out yourself."
"Makes sense," I muttered and she passed me a fresh sheet of parchment and a quill.
When I got home, Chester was waiting. I glared at him and put my hands on my hips.
"They told you," he muttered.
"I saw the bruise. Chester, I said to leave it be!"
"I couldn't help it," he grumbled. "I just got so angry."
I sighed. "Well, they aren't upset with you. In fact, they're a little amused."
He laughed. "Yeah, the king was there when I did it."
I shook my head but smiled. "You are one bold man, Chester."
I returned to the palace the next day. My mother had agreed when I mentioned Father would have wanted me to do this. I wasn't looking forward to it, though. I was almost certain we would get absolutely nowhere today.
The doors opened before I knocked and Cian glared down at me. I cocked a brow and he stepped to the side. He led me up the stairs, his fists clenched, and threw open a door.
"In," he snapped.
I snorted. "First lesson: 'In' is not the way to invite someone into a room." He glared at me. "The appropriate way would be to say 'After you, ma'am'."
"Not going to happen," he said.
"Then we'll be out here all day. I'm sure your mother and father will be pleased with that."
"I'm not saying it," he said stubbornly so I leaned against the wall, looking around.
"Lovely castle you have here."
"Get in the room, Viveka," he snarled.
"Nope. Not until you say it appropriately." I saw him move out of the corner of my eye. "And don't you dare lay a hand on me, Lord Cian."
He groaned then leaned on the wall on the other side of the door jamb, glaring at me.
"I'm not going to follow your orders like a peasant," he snapped.
I turned my head slowly to him. "Then we will be out here all day."
We stared at each other, both too stubborn to move. It wasn't until the queen, her nose in a book, walked by that it changed. She frowned between the two of us and the open door.
"Shouldn't you be in lesson?" she asked Cian.
"If she would just get in the damn room, yes I would be!" he yelled.
"Not until you say it appropriately," I repeated stubbornly.
"Good Lord," he groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Why?"
"Because it is polite," I said. "You may be a lord but you will not gain the respect of your people by ordering them to enter a room. Now, you opened the door for me. That was good. What comes next?"
He looked to the queen. "Mother," he began but she cocked a brow, straightening her back.
"She is your teacher," she reminded him.
"This is ridiculous," he grumbled. Finally, he said, "After. You. Ma'am."
