C-Dogs, the sequel to Cyberdogs, is a DOS arcade shoot-em-up which allows players to work co-operatively during missions, and against each other in "dogfight" death-match mode.
As of June 2007, the original developer no longer maintains a website for C-Dogs, but the project continues to live on via the "C-Dogs SDL" port by Jeremy Chin and Lucas Martin-King.
Gameplay[edit | edit source]
C-Dogs improved on the original "Cyberdogs". The single-player/cooperative gameplay is separated into different campaigns, each comprising of many missions. Usually, each level involves the player(s) killing enemies (while avoiding harming civilians and team mates) using a variety of pre-selected weapons; collecting keys to unlock special rooms; and picking up required items to fulfill the mission objectives.
The "dog fight" gameplay is the typical deathmatch: players attempt to kill each other for points, in order to gain victory. Only two players can verse each other, by sitting at the same computer and using the keyboard, joysticks or gamepads.
Ports[edit | edit source]
After the source release by Ronny Wester in 2002, Jeremy Chin and Lucas Martin-King ported the game to SDL, using (Gentoo) Linux as their development environment, and released their work under the GNU GPL as "C-Dogs SDL".

Women and the French Revolution
Women faced many challenges during the French Revolution (1789-1799), with their status enduring various transformations. In the face of the fixed perception of the female gender, women secured, albeit for a moment (1792-1793), the right to marry without parental consent, to initiate divorce and to own property. The French Revolution offered many views about the role of women. Among the most famous were those advocated by philosophers Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) and the Marquis de Condorcet (1743-1794).
The two men agreed that the right occupation for a lady was that of a housekeeper. They had conflicting views regarding the method of training for the woman's proper role. At that time, women were considered as naturally modest beings and were appreciated as morally superior to men. Hence, the utmost duty of a woman was to create a safe and calm place for her husband. Rousseau defended the view that the only education a girl needed could be provided by her mother, at home, not in a school. Religion, Rousseau said, should not be a part of a girl's education, as when a woman marries, her husband can teach her about God. In contrast, Condorcet believed that women had the same political rights as men and that men and women should be educated in the same manner.
Most of the problems that women faced during that period were stated in Cahiers des Doleances (Notebooks for Grievances), collected by the government in May 1789. From the list of women's grievances it can be judged how big was the social, economic and mentality gap between the nobility and the masses. For example, the women from the marketplace sought protection of their professional rights and complained about poor working conditions and social injustice. In contrast, the requests of the aristocratic women were focused on civil issues, like obtaining the right to vote, equality in marriage and initiating divorce.
The market women were angry about the way their complaints in the Notebooks were addressed and staged a march to Versailles, in order to demand bread from King Louis XVI (1754-1793) and Queen Marie Antoinette (1755-1793) in person. This march, in which 6,000 women of different social classes took part, took place on 5 and 6 October 1789, hence its name, the October Days. The crowd stormed the palace and managed to secure an audience with the King and the National Assembly. A delegation of market women reiterated the problems from the Notebooks - that the wealthy were hoarding the grain, while the others were starving, arguing that food on sale was unreasonably priced. King Louis pledged to find bread for the masses and allowed the women to escort himself and his family back to Paris.
Perhaps the most prominent figure of the women's movement during the French Revolution was Olympe de Gouges (1748 -1793). She first made herself known in October 1789, when she appeared in front of the National Assembly to lobby for sweeping reforms. Her most influential contribution is The Declaration of the Rights of Woman (1791), which she wrote in response to the The Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, the French constitution enacted the same year. The playwright argued against the division that the constitution made between men and women, rich and poor, active and passive. In her text, De Gouges granted the women the same rights as the constitution granted to men. She called for the creation of a National Assembly of Women, to deal with the problems together with the Assembly of Men. De Gouges's main argument for giving women the same rights as men was that by nature the two sexes were equal.
Another important figure in the history of French Revolution was Charlotte Corday (1768-1793). Corday was devoted to the "enlightened" ideals of her time but supported the monarchy when the Revolution started in 1789. Gradually, factions appeared within the national convention, where the more moderate Girondins faced Jean Paul Marat (1743-1793) and Maximilien Robespierre (1758-1794). Corday favored the Girondins and opposed Marat and Robespierre, who wanted to abolish the monarchy. When the Girondins were expelled from the convention in June 1793, Corday, loyal to their cause, went to Paris. She was determined that their main enemy was Marat and sought to meet him. On July 13, 1793 she stabbed him through the heart. Just four days later she was guillotined.

What the Health is the groundbreaking follow-up movie from the creators of the award-successful documentary Cowspiracy. One could say that even the larger increase from 213 to 248 isn't that impressive in percentage terms, roughly 16 p.c. Nevertheless, HDL cholesterol does not go up significantly in response to sustained (e.g., multi-day) stress, it actually goes down, so the will increase reported will be safely assumed to be mainly as a consequence of LDL ldl cholesterol. For most people, LDL particles are the primary carriers of ldl cholesterol in the human body. Thus, in percentage phrases, the will increase in LDL ldl cholesterol are about twice those reported for total cholesterol.
Nonetheless, all feedback characterize solely the opinions of those making them. The looks of comments doesn't suggest endorsement by the Health Care Renewal bloggers. House Republicans on Tuesday unveiled a package of bills to delay a range of ObamaCare taxes, which may very well be acted on later this month.

Nonetheless, and also despite the amount of money that Celgene was making selling its medicine for unapproved makes use of (e.g., Revlimid's sales final 12 months were almost $7 billion), the US Department of Justice declined to get entangled in this case. Additionally, like most authorized settlements involving huge health care organizations, the company didn't admit any wrongdoing, and no person who enabled, accredited, or directed the misbehavior suffered any damaging consequences. How do you are feeling about espresso-that java that makes you soar, that black elixir of silky goodness, the cuppa joe for the morning wakeup call? Well, consider it or not, including espresso to your each day weight-reduction plan might help with your health. For those who already drink it, you'll be glad to know that in addition to offering a lift to get you going, and the taste that will make you happy, espresso has some outstanding powers to assist your body and mind.
All which means the moral quality of health care is profoundly influenced by the ethics of organizations. We will not have ethical health care without moral organizations. Neal Patterson, co-founder, CEO and chairman of health IT heavyweight Cerner, died as we speak on the age of sixty seven. In accordance with the corporate, Patterson had surprising problems" from a recurrence of the comfortable-tissue cancer that brought on him to take a yearlong depart starting in January 2016. If, because the saying goes, all politics are local," the identical could be stated of health care. As health care consumers proceed to have higher company in their health care decision-making and as the ACA requires nonprofit hospitals to concentrate on the lengthy-time period wellness and health of patients, the medical services out there ought to now – greater than ever – replicate the specific needs of the group through which they are supplied.
I will not bore you with any more details, however I believe it is time to look at the larger picture, particularly the rights and tasks patients have in making their own care higher. Keep tuned for actual affected person stories and advice within the subsequent few days. Within the meantime, try the submit that represented a shift in my considering , after my dad handed away nearly 5 years ago.

Mark in Athens, GA2013-04-03
★★★★★ - "Efficient service over the phone by Jeff Meehan on a Sunday. He walked me through every step to determine the break had tripped due to high voltage by kitchen appliances. We initially placed an emergency call back with the answering service at 1:30 pm EST, a second call at 2:45 pm and by 4:00 pm we were back in service throughout the kitchen by Jeff's phone call. When he called and assessed the situation as best he could over the phone, then offered to walk through on the call of "turning off & on" every circuit within the breaker box he had us back up and running without a costly weekend emergency service call. Then, took time to explain what he thought occurred plus gave expert advice on the next steps to prevent reoccurrence. Tks for the assistance and we'll be contacting you soon Jeff to proceed with the next steps. Again, quality efficient local service..support local! Keep it up Jeff M. and the Meehan's."
Anonymous in Athens, GA2020-09-18
★★★★★ - "Took an extra day over other services to get them out but the job was done cheaper than getting others to walk through my door. Can't even express how happy I was with the finished job. We didn't have a part they needed to complete the job and instead of just leaving or charging me large amounts to get it, we asked to add in another job while we ran to get the part. They did the extra so now I have two projects that were done to perfection. The only problem I have is everything they did looks so good that I need to replace more. Will call you every time!!!"
K garvin in Monroe, GA2019-06-24
★★★★★ - "This afternoon I called Meehan Electrical Services to get an estimate for a service call to my home. Jeff Meehan answered the phone and I described the problem, two electrical outlets that had suddenly stopped working. Jeff listened to me carefully, asked several questions, and then he was able to troubleshoot my problem over the phone. I don't know anything about electrical matters and I was nervous about even approaching the breaker box, but Jeff was patient and he took the time to explain everything to me as he went. I followed his suggestions, and the outlets are working fine now. I will definitely use Meehan Electrical Services for any electrical matters in the future. I am pleased and so grateful to God for the blessing I received today through Jeff Meehan."

James in Watkinsville, GA
★★★★★ - "We had an electrical outage in our home and after calling 5 electricians, Jeff called us back promptly and advised us that it sounded like an issue with our service coming in from Georgia Power and advised that we contact them first. We did and that was indeed the problem and the problem was solved at no cost to us. We are grateful for Jeff's prompt response and accurate advice."

This is one in a series of interviews with descendants of civil rights-era figures who helped write Birmingham's history.
BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Ninety minutes after Barack Obama was inaugurated as America's first black president in 2009, a nasty e-mail from the past reached Stephen Grafman's in-box.
Almost 46 years had elapsed since his late father, Temple Emanu-El Rabbi Milton Grafman, and seven other Birmingham clergymen jointly called to delay civil rights demonstrations and wait for the courts to act against racial discrimination. The clergymen's letter was cited in Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "Letter from Birmingham Jail" that continues to be studied today.
With Obama inaugurated, the e-mailer snidely asked in 2009, how would Stephen Grafman's father feel about a black president? Stephen knows these reactions all too well.
"While Dr. King's letter is a beautiful, magnificent document that will stand the test of time, it was not a perfect document and certain people were hurt very badly by it," Stephen says. "To have the letter being used against my father and for people all over the country to assume he was some type of racist, it was very difficult for him."
It took 15 years for Rabbi Grafman to break his silence that he believed the clergymen were unfairly branded racists. He told a civil rights conference at the University of Alabama: "Now this letter is studied in English courses and sociology courses, and I get at least one letter a semester asking me if I'm still a bigot."
So on a Shabbat Friday night in January, Stephen Grafman -- now an attorney in Washington D.C. -- returned to Temple Emanu-El and methodically defended his father against history. (Disclaimer: The author of this article is a member of Temple Emanu-El.)
"I feel a grave injustice was done to him," Stephen says. "I feel the record needs to be set straight."
Three months before their letter to King, the clergymen wrote another open letter that argued whites should not break the law by defying federal desegregation orders. The letter to King on April 12, 1963, urged patience because the city had just voted to change its government, unseating notorious segregationist Eugene "Bull" Connor.
"We recognize the natural impatience of people who feel their hopes are slow in being realized," the clergymen wrote in a letter published in The Birmingham News. "But we are convinced that these demonstrations are unwise and untimely."
King, writing from jail on April 16, 1963, replied in part by saying: "You deplore the demonstrations taking place in Birmingham. But your statement, I am sorry to say, fails to express a similar concern for the conditions that brought about the demonstrations."
Others had also called on King to delay demonstrations, including U.S. Attorney Robert Kennedy, Rev. Billy Graham and The Washington Post. King's open letter, though, was addressed to the clergymen and became one of the preeminent literary-historical documents of the 20th century.
Stephen says once King's letter was published in mid-May of 1963, Rabbi Grafman immediately received criticism -- even from Jews. One letter to the rabbi read: "I am disgusted and ashamed to be a member of a religion of which you pretend to be a spiritual leader."
Some well-respected colleges continue to teach that the ministers stood in the way of progress, a point that bothers Stephen.
"I would say most people never read the statement of what they said," he says. "What you know is what Dr. King characterized in his statement. My father felt at the time the emotions were so high that it would be difficult, if not impossible, for people to accept anything other than what was in Dr. King's letter."
The sounds of Rabbi Grafman's convictions filled Temple Emanu-El again last month. The audio tapes were cries from 50 years ago for his congregation's silent majority to speak out publicly against racial injustice. Or as Rabbi Grafman bluntly put it: "You either have to put up, or you're going to have to shut up."
This, his son says, was Rabbi Grafman.
The man who was hit with a libel lawsuit in 1964 by the Ku Klux Klan because he said the group shouldn't have an exhibit at the Alabama State Fair.
The man who withdrew from speaking at the University of Mississippi in 1956 -- and organized other panelists not to show as well -- because one speaker was disinvited after the university learned he intended to donate money to the NAACP.
And the man who spoke out against Alabama Gov. George Wallace's "segregation now, segregation forever" inaugural speech in January 1963. Stephen stresses this point because King wrote of the eight clergymen: "Where were they when Governor Wallace gave a clarion call for defiance and hatred?"
From his pulpit on the Friday after Wallace's speech, Rabbi Grafman condemned "hypocritical" church-goers who profess religion is founded on love and then condone racial injustice in Alabama. "You either believe in the fatherhood of God or you don't," he said. "You either believe the brotherhood of man or you don't."
Stephen says his father's positions in the 1950s and '60s, a period with rampant anti-semitism in Birmingham, brought danger to their family and Temple Emanu-El. Rabbi Grafman often replied to threatening calls at his house by blowing a police whistle into the phone.
"There were rabbis who participated in the civil rights movement who got unlisted phone numbers and left their cities," Stephen says. "He never had an unlisted number. You could find his address. He wasn't perfect, but he never tried to hide behind anything."
Stephen became a lawyer in Washington D.C., where he once was a federal prosecutor and now handles civil and business litigation. He undertakes various pro bono representation and received the Martin Luther King Jr. Award from the District of Columbia Public Library for representing the library in a case related to its funding.
"I've taken on causes at no charge when I thought a wrong had been done," Stephen says. "I think I picked that up from my father -- not as dramatically or as effectively as he did. He (Rabbi Grafman) said in his senior year of high school that he hoped to be a lawyer or a rabbi because with either one he is committed to seeing justice is done."
When Rabbi Grafman died in 1995, Rev. Abraham Woods -- local president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference -- told The Associated Press the rabbi was "one of our great assets" in Birmingham. Orzell Billingsley, a leading civil rights attorney who once represented King, attended Rabbi Grafman's funeral.
"He said, 'I just wanted to come express my personal sympathy,'" Stephen says. "I was flabbergasted. I only wish I could have told my father about statements like that."

In our most recent episode of World in Crisis (not a real thing, just the reality show we live in), the American administration opted to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement—something that's ironically been good for getting people to talk about the state of the planet, and even take action. (Shout-out to Weather.com and NatGeo!)
But the act also raises bigger questions about whether other superpower countries can be trusted to hold up their end of the bargain. This matter has become relatively urgent, given we're about two and a half minutes to midnight on the ol' Doomsday Clock.
To highlight the problem, and alert Brazilians to what our fate may be if global warming ticks on unchecked, the Nature Conservancy Brazil launched Products of Tomorrow, a Facebook store in which you can pre-order products to prepare you for the future.
The products include basics like sunscreen, water and an apple—but closer inspection reveals they've got a lot more to say about the state of the future than appearances might suggest.
The sunscreen, for example, is SPF 350+, the kind of overkill you'll probably need when, in 2070, the earth is warmer by 4°C.
Meanwhile, "low-acidic rain water," icky by our standards, is a luxury item that hails from 2037, when two-thirds of the planet's population will have limited access to potable water.
Lastly, an apple composed of 3 percent fruit portends the year 2080, when "growing organic foods will be almost impossible."
In a slickly produced, tongue-in-cheek way, the campaign, created by agency Africa, seeks to "explore the bright side of a dystopian world."
The website offers people the chance to pre-order these products, but when you do, a message pops up that reassures us we don't need them … yet. You're then invited to share them on social networks.
"Finding Nature's solutions to climate change is a global priority for the Conservancy, and in Brazil, we are already working on several projects to ensure we have a plan," says Grazielle Dib, marketing manager at the Conservancy in Brazil. "It's important that society understands how pressing the problem is, and do its part, too."

First 5.15b in Italy Redpointed
November 3, 2015 – After about a year of work, Stefano Ghisolfi, 22, has redpointed a 70-move route that's likely now Italy's hardest sport climb. Ghisolfi, who has completed three 5.15a routes, called his new route Lapsus (9b or 5.15b).
Lapsus is a marathon link-up of three climbs at Andonno in northwestern Italy, south of Turin, where Ghisolfi lives. The route links Noi (8b+), Cobra (8b), and Anaconda (8c), with the crux near the very end. Noi and Cobra were first linked in 1993 to create Noia (8c+), and last year Ghisolfi linked Cobra and Anaconda to make Cobra Reale (8c+/9a), according to Planet Mountain.
Ghisolfi redpointed the route November 2, writing at his Instagram page: "Finally, after long time and a lot of tries, I sent the hardest project I ever tried. I spent many days on it, falling many times at the last section. Today the conditions were perfect, we came in Andonno just in the afternoon, and after a quick warm-up I climbed the route on the second go of today. I propose a new grade for me and for Italy. I think this is much harder than Biographie and Demencia."
Ghisolfi repeated Biographie (9a+) at Ceüse, France, in June, and Demencia Senil (9a+) at Margalef, Spain, in March. Last summer he climbed his first 9a+/5.15a with Le Moustache qui Fâche at Engraygues, France. Ghisolfi is ranked seventh in the world in competition lead climbing, and he won a World Cup event in China in 2014.
Ghisolfi said the hardest route in Italy until now likely was Adam Ondra's Marina Superstar (9a+/b, 2009) in Sardinia. "I'm going to invite Adam to try Lapsus so he can compare the routes," he said.

"Virgins" is out!
Congratulations to Diana Gabaldon on the publication of her latest story, "Virgins", about Jamie and Ian as very young mercenaries in France, before Jamie met Claire.
"Virgins" is a novella (about 28,300 words), one of the stories in the DANGEROUS WOMEN anthology, edited by George R.R. Martin and Gardner Dozois. It's a great story, a fascinating glimpse of Jamie and Ian as young men, and I enjoyed it very much.
For more information about "Virgins", see my FAQ page here.

UK Upgrades and expands its fleet of Saab Giraffe Agile Multi-Beam (AMB) Radars
The UK Ministry of Defence has placed orders with Saab for additional Giraffe Agile Multi Beam (AMB) radar systems plus upgrades of the existing systems and associated equipment.
The Giraffe AMB radar provides a full 360 degree update of the air situation out to 120 km every second. It can operate in a range of complex and challenging environments such as cities, coastal regions, rural and bush land areas. The upgrade will take the UK's existing systems to the same production-build standard as the latest Giraffe AMB, enhancing the primary radar's performance and track capacity. It also keeps the UK's radars in line with the Giraffe product roadmap. This, in turn, will enable the addition of a unique capability to detect small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV).
The Australian Army purchased three Giraffe AMB radars in 2010 and deployed them to Afghanistan to detect incoming Rockets, Artillery and Mortars. The radars were a vital force protection asset that saved Australian lives by providing adequate advance warning time for friendly troops to take cover. The Giraffe AMB radars are capable of detecting a wider range of objects than just Rockets, Artillery and Mortars with recent advancements also giving them the ability to detect very small targets such as micro-UAVs.
"Saab Australia is delighted that the UK MoD has purchased additional Giraffe AMB radars and enhanced the capabilities of their existing fleet", says Dean Rosenfield, Managing Director of Saab Australia.
"The Giraffe AMB radars purchased by the Australian Army did a fantastic job on operations in Afghanistan. We are hopeful that the Australian Army will follow a similar path to the UK MoD to further enhance and grow their force protection capability to meet the ever evolving and challenging threats posed by aircraft, small UAVs and improvised munitions", says Dean Rosenfield.
The Giraffe AMB radar capability has not only been used to provide protection of troops deployed overseas but it has also been called upon to support the protection of large events such as the 2012 London Olympics, where the ability to have a detailed understanding of movement in and out of the airspace around the event locations was paramount.
Saab Australia recently responded to the Commonwealth's Request for Information for the future Ground Based Air and Missile capability that will be acquired under Land 19 Phase 7B. The Giraffe AMB radar is a key component of Saab's offer that will provide a complete and future proofed capability to counter the challenging and evolving air and missile threat.

|How Lovely to Be a Woman
|Marsei helps Aelia prepare for her wedding to Jurian in ways that go beyond the dress.
|Nov. 20/2016
Dragon Door Manse — Starry Street
This is a grand and enormous manse maintained by the Targaryen family for royals and their guests when they happen to wish to stay in Oldtown.
The house faces the prestigious Starry Street. The first story is protected by narrow high windows that stop people from seeing inside, but the windows on the back wall and the four upper stories are tall and wide, making the manse bright and airy over all.
The first floor's main hall is brightly lit with lamps to make up for the shortcomings of those windows, and the walls are covered in rich tapestries depicting dragons, and the acts of Aegon the Conqueror and his sisters. There's a grand dining room separated from the entry hall by a great arch formed by carved stone dragons, and another such arch leads to a smaller, though still huge by most standards, sitting room. Everything is opulent, beautifully made, and as luxurious as befits the royal family.
There are other sitting rooms up in the floors above, as well as bedchambers, game rooms, and even private baths. Like almost all of the houses in Oldtown, it shares two walls with its neighbors on either side, but the servants quarters, kitchens, and servant's stairs buffer the house proper from any noise that could possibly leak through the thick stone walls.
There's a large and gracious walled garden in the back, and wide windows open to it. Those on the upper stories have balconies.
Aelia, accompanied by her trusty red-haired servant, Mae, is currently standing in the main hall. More specifically, she is standing over a plate of corn cakes on a side table, daintily demolishing the sweet. Mae has her hands folded, but she's ready to step forward to stop the princess from wiping her hands on her dress, for instance.
Once Marsei arrives for a visit, she has a direct distance to traverse to find Aelia — or rather, be led to her by the helpful servants. Thus, she makes it to the princess with minimal conversation with any of the other regal residents of Dragon Door, although there is no doubt the sweet Hightower would have happily chatted at every given opportunity, even if she encountered Vhaerys again. She smiles brightly — and understandingly — at Mae and Aelia, going straight away to her side, though she does not interrupt the quest for corn cakes with an embrace right away. "Good day, Princess Aelia! Oh, what manner of cakes— ?" Her attire is well-suited to the cool, grey day outside she faced on the way to the manse, fitted in a soft lavender gown with a small, flower-embroidered 'v' for a neck and long, hanging sleeves like the style more commonly seen on her prince husband.
Aelia tolerates Mae wiping her hands just long enough before rushing directly at Marsei to give her a hug. "Corn!" she says in the Hightower's ears, sounding excited and high-spirited. She steps back and looks at Marsei after a long embrace. "You look like lavender today." She seems to mean the plant.
"Oh!" Marsei gives a little sound of surprise — although she isn't surprised — that blends into a delighted little laugh as she's set upon, returning the embrace warmly for its whole length. "Thank you," she replies to the plant-based statement, "You think in flowers, like Dhraegon," she says like a compliment before gesturing over the cakes. Corn cakes! "May I?"
"Well, he said you were a flower," Aelia points out. She looks at the cakes, pausing in thought before she nods decisively. "Yes," she agrees. Marsei may have a cake. She moves toward the plate, but lets Marsei eat instead of reaching for a cake. "Do you love my uncle?"
The question seems to cause Marsei's hand to pause on the way to the plate of cakes; not in hesitation, but for the curiosity of it. She gives Aelia a thoughtful look, smiling with fondness; for the subject of the question, the curious asker, or both. "I… do," she says, slowly but certainly and with a note of query lingering toward the end. One small bite of sweet corn cake later, she goes on, "Why do you wonder?"
"Well, I thought we are supposed to marry in our own family," Aelia tells Marsei honestly. "So I thought…there must be some reason. Owls don't usually marry flowers. I don't think."
"Well…" Marsei starts to answer, pausing to glance down at her half-eaten cake introspectively. She nods, as though to an answer in her own head. "It— did take some thinking. Do you want to talk about it while we look at your dresses for the wedding?" she suggests cheerily. "Perhaps, if we're careful, we can even bring the rest of the cakes." She looks to Mae for the final word, however, even if it technically belongs to Aelia.
"Yes," Aelia says quickly, orienting herself as to where the stairs are and then dashing that way in a rustle of skirts. Mae gives Marsei a kindly smile— he seems well disposed towards the lady— and picks up the plate of cakes.
Marsei gives Mae a good-humoured little smile while Aelia hurries toward the stairs before hurrying after her, keeping up with the princess's energetic pace. They ascend together in a rustle-and-bustle. "Your family is so special, Aelia. But … there are a few reasons one might marry outside of it. For Dhraegon and I, I… suppose it turned out to be all of them," she begins on the way in.
"Yes, we are very special," Aelia agrees, trundling toward her room. It seems that she and her brother keep separate rooms, at least for now. She leaves the door standing open and goes straight to her bed to flop down on her back. "I am getting married soon," she announces to the ceiling.
"You certainly are," Marsei agrees warmly, though it's paired with a small dip of her head: the floor gets an ever-so-slightly troubled look while Aelia's gaze is lofty. She walks to the bed, pausing at its side. "If two people love each other … sometimes that can be enough. It is a powerful thing, and should be embraced, when … if it can be," she says slowly. She glances to the door, checking to see if Mae has closed it. Either way, her voice is especially soft. "The King and Queen, for example! Even though there were people against it, King Viserys knew he had to be with Alicent even though she is a Hightower, like me."
"Yes, the King and Queen must be all right," Aelia acknowledges with a nod. Then she lifts up onto one elbow, looking at Marsei with round, violet eyes. "When you get married, it stays that way forever, right? Isn't that a long time?"
"It's…" Faced with trying to define forever, Marsei finds herself blinking and giving a soft little laugh, giving her head a bewildered shake. "You're right," she agrees. "All of time! It is a sacred bond, and so it never ends usually. Not unless something bad happens." Drawn in by those guileless violet eyes, the lady touches the princess's hair sweetly for a moment, reassuring. It reassures her, too; a hint of thoughtful melancholy began to form in her expression on those last words, but she smiles it all away. "You needn't worry about that, though. Are all your dresses in the wardrobe?"
Aelia sits up, tucking her legs underneath her. Mae situates the plate of cakes on a table, then goes to open the wardrobe for Marsei. Aelia looks a little puzzled, but when Marsei tells her she doesn't need to worry about bad things happening, she smiles. "Oh," she answers. "/Well/. I have several dresses but they are all very nice, so I don't know what the nicest is. But did you know that geese are as good as watchdogs?"
Quietly thanking Mae, Marsei goes to the wardrobe. She looks at the array of gowns in front of her, presented in slivers, categorizing familiar colours and shapes from others, picking and choosing with just her eye at first. "No," she replies meanwhile, sounding delighted to know the fact. "But it sounds like a good job for them. When I was little, there was a flock of geese — such giant birds — that would set upon the harbour and chase me if I ever got too close. It was for the best. I was rather frightened of falling in if I wasn't holding someone's hand." She goes about taking a few dresses from the wardrobe, carefully draping them over the back of a chair so they don't wrinkle.
"I'm glad you didn't fall in the harbor," Aelia says warmly, craning her neck to look at the dresses in the wardrobe. With her skirts poofing up and her neck arching, she does bear a certain resemblance to a goose, whether by design or accident. "Marsei," she says, "What if my brother tells me to go away?"
Marsei is smoothing out a dress and considering the design beneath her hand when Aelia asks the question. She's quiet for a moment. "He oughtn't," she says then. Were Jurian in the room, it would be chastising towards him, even though her voice never escalates past its inherent sweetness. "But…" she turns to fully face the poofy-skirted princess on the bed, carrying the dress — one of the less ostentatious designs — over her arm. "There are … different kinds of love, Aelia. And different kinds of marriages."
"He sleeps a lot, lately," Aelia says. "But he doesn't have a fever so they say it's passing." She doesn't seem totally convinced, a wrinkle in her brow. But she puts out a hand toward the dress. "This one?"
"Oh— ?" Marsei expresses concern over Jurian's state, lifting her brows. It takes her a second to look down at the dress. "I think it's a contender!" she declares. "Come, let's look at the others. I was thinking we could pick out a few, and that way you can wear the one that feels the best on the day," she says, reaching for the bride-to-be's hand to lead her over to the wardrobe. Her mind is not set absolutely on dresses, however. "Is he feeling well otherwise? Jurian…?"
Aelia hops off the bed, only briefly getting her foot tangled in her skirts. But she recovers well. "Yes, let's pick a few!" She enthuses, going with Marsei to the wardrobe. "Mm…I don't know. He's not in a mood for questions. He's been staying in his room more than usual."
Accepting this information with a thoughtful nod once they stand in front of the open wardrobe, Marsei comes to an optimistic answer: "Perhaps he is just gathering his strength for the wedding." She smiles encouragingly, though, behind her eyes, she's still thinking, wondering. "It will be a long day. And so, you must look your best!" She lays the dress down and gestures at the others she has laid out. "What do you think of these ones?" she says with a sweeping gesture, distracted halfway through to pull one out from the others and re-examine the back of it. She sets it down and rifles through the wardrobe again. "They should be ones you feel the best in. The loveliest but most comfortable too. I loved my last wedding dress, but it was so heavy by the end of the day…"
"Oh," Aelia says. She looks at the wardrobe. "If I am heavy, he should carry me." She pauses thoughtfully. "Unless he is ill…" She pokes her entire upper body into the wardrobe and begins to root around.
"Then he would be heavy too," Marsei counters with a good-natured little laugh underneath her words, only to come around to the idea, "Of course, that's one way of sharing burdens like man and wife." She peeks over Aelia's shoulder, quietly hoping the princess's choice doesn't boast too many feathers. "I'm sure he isn't ill," she assures after the fact. "He may have a poorly leg, but there is something persevering about your brother."
Aelia resurfaces with her arms wrapped around two surprisingly tasteful gowns, nothing that would embarrass a girl at sept. Mae keeps a watchful eye on the selection from over by the table. Aelia's hair is slightly disarrayed by her wardrobe dive, but she smiles. "Yes," she agrees. "He is the only boy who lived!"
The lady's eyes widen a bit at that fact. Once again, she takes the positive route. "There you have it!" she says, celebratory. "He'll be all right." With additional earnestness, looking the young woman in the eye, she adds, "And so will you." She moves right along, fixing Aelia's hair like it's the most natural thing in the world to do and smiles all over again at the choices of dresses. "These are both so lovely, aren't they! You know, I think they outshine this one," she decides, putting one of her own selections back in the wardrobe. "But what do you think of this? The silhouette can be seen from far away. That is important at a wedding." She holds up another, elegant but vivid.
Aelia bounces a little from the knees. "Should I put it on?" she asks. "We can see if it would be good for swimming and flying." Which hopefully she will only test in an imaginative sense.
Hopefully. Stranger things have happened at weddings. "That's a good idea!" Marsei encourages cheerfully, smiling bright to watch Aelia's reaction to everything. "In fact, you could try on all the best ones on." After laying out the current gown on top of the others, she perches on the very corner of the chair they're all draped on. "Do you know what Jurian is wearing? We wouldn't want to choose anything that would clash with the Targaryen colours," she points out.
"Yes," Aelia agrees, motioning Mae with a gesture, who comes over to help her out of what she's wearing now. "I think it will be black. What clashes with black? I don't have to wear red, do I? I only sometimes want to wear red."
"All black? He's not going to a funeral," Does Marsei have to have a word with Jurian about upbeat wedding attire? Turned slightly at an angle, away from Aelia's changing, she gives her head a dismissive shake. No matter! "Well, we're in luck; almost everything goes with black. I understand not wishing to wear red." For entirely different reasons than Aelia, no doubt, but all the same, Marsei has had her own struggles with the Targaryen colours. "We'll just have to make room for some jewelry with a dragon on it if your dress doesn't have any. To show how proud you are… to be a Targaryen."
"I've never been to a funeral," Aelia says while Mae unhooks her dress. "Have I?" She tilts her head. "But geese do walk over graves. Maybe it will be black with something. Maybe he will wear house colors. He's sleeping now, I can't ask him." She grins at Marsei. "But I am proud." Mae glances at Marsei, then starts to let the bodice down from Aelia's dress.
"It's all just… symbolism really." Marsei looks over long enough to continue, "Everyone will know you're proud. It's about showing who you are on the day that…" She pauses, looking down with faint consternation across her features. She has to reconfigure her logic of families combining when it comes to the insular Targaryens. "That your family becomes stronger." That's solved, but she hasn't made it over that bump in thought she hit a moment ago. Her hands clasp tight atop her crossed knee; her light brows come together.
Aelia smiles at the way Marsei puts it, and steps out of the dress she was in, then into the next one Mae has ready for her. Mae lifts it into place and starts to lace with practiced hands. "Will you be there on the day?"
"Of course!" Attuned to the familiar sounds of routine — a dress being methodically removed and another put on by a maid — she turns her thoughtful expression back on Aelia. "I wouldn't miss it! If you like, I can come early to help with anything you may need." It is with that thought that she rises; nevertheless, the move to her feet is a touch swift, sudden. She comes 'round to face the young woman, placing gentle hands on her upper arms. "Aelia…" she says, concern only halfway diminished from her earnest voice; discomfort stresses her delicate features, but she's determined, spurred by worry for the little bird of a princess. She glances briefly to Mae before looking at Aelia eye-to-eye. "Do you have anyone you can talk to… about what it is like as a woman, to be married? What your duties are … to your husband— after the wedding and the feast?"
Mae blushes, but she leaves it to Marsei for now. Aelia blinks once or twice at Marsei. "Oh," she says after a moment, and reaches out to pat Marsei's hand. "You are talking about what the horses do. Or like the stable boy and the kitchen maid."
It's Marsei's turn to blink at those particular examples, but she smiles despite herself. "Yes," she says, but wants to caution, "But— it's different when it happens to you. I don't presume to know what you expect, I only know that it might not be that, one way or the other."
Aelia smiles, just looking mildly and pleasantly puzzled. "What is different?" she asks. Then she grins. "I understand that it will not be a horse or a stable boy but a swan!" Her tone indicates that she thinks Marsei is being very silly.
Marsei opens her mouth, but words don't immediately spill forth; only an uneven, apprehensive breath as she attempts to choose the right ones. "You know that swans can get cross," she eventually says with caution — and a hint of sadness, "and they are so much stronger."
Aelia reflects on this, brow wrinkling slightly. "Well…" she says slowly in light of this information, "What should I do then?"
"W-well…" In distinct contrast to the slight tremble in Marsei's voice for traversing through this particular territory, she actually speaks with confidence. "It is your duty — in the eyes of the Seven — to go through with tradition, especially on your wedding night. And so…" She holds firm to the bride-to-be's shoulders as she advises, "Before their first time, many maidens drink until they are warm and cannot feel so much. It is better to be prepared." She smiles a little. "If it is … difficult— you can come to me after. There are other ways. To make it less taxing for the next time and the next after that." She keeps a close watch on the princess's eyes, her own wide open with sincerity. "On the other hand… if for some reason your brother doesn't— if he … can't — know that it is not your fault. Even if he gets angry."
Aelia looks like she is listening, though the roundness of her eyes may make her look a bit too vacant to inspire confidence. But then she leans forward to give Marsei a hug. "Does my uncle get angry?"
Marsei returns the hug tightly, arms all the way around. She catches sight of Mae in the process and gives her a quick look that can only be described as apologetic. "U-um," she answers Aelia under her breath. "No. Your uncle … your uncle isn't like most men. But I was married once before."
Mae's look in return insists that she hears none of this but thinks Marsei is very nice for saying it anyway. Aelia smiles at Marsei. "Good," she says. "I like him. He's so big! And he thinks of me. And you! But…" She looks thoughtful. "Well. Swans are bigger than geese, but geese can make quite a sight. They hiss, and go:" She lifts her arms up as big as the dress will allow.
Marsei gives in to a gentle peal of welcome laughter; the sound is subdued, but not the warm smile that follows. "They do! They can be watchdogs, after all, and keep on the lookout for anything bad." She reaches for one of Aelia's wrists and raises it high — again, as high as the dress will allow — as one would in the midst of a dance to inspire a twirl. "Let's have a look at this dress."
Aelia is only too happy to twirl, the momentum swinging her skirts farther than she goes. She gives an open-mouthed smile, any foreboding from the previous conversation apparently banished from her mind. "It feels beautiful!"

This museum's collections offer a sweeping panorama of French and European art from 1848 to 1914. Orsay boasts the world's largest assemblage of impressionist paintings. It also has admirable sculpture (magnificently presented in the monumental gallery), furniture and art objects of exceptional quality.
Long a derelict railway station, Orsay was restructured as a museum in 1986 to house and showcase various artistic movements: academicism, realism, impressionism, symbolism, and Art Nouveau. It is home to famous 19th-century masterpieces like Millet's Angélus, Ingres' La Source, Manet's Olympia, Monet's series of Cathédrales de Rouen, Cabanel's Birth of Venus, and Renoir's Bal du Moulin de la Galette.

Family Finances a Mess? Try Economic 'CPR'
The economic ICU is the one place you'll be financially resuscitated – but only after you self-administer a mega dose of emergency CPR to get your finances back on track to good health.
Marlene Ware, a financial educator for the National Foundation for Debt Management, has seen it all when it comes to unhealthy family finances: excessive credit card bills, medical debt, student loans, payday loans, foreclosure, bankruptcy and more. She's also seen well-intentioned parents – herself included – engage in massive overspending for their kids, only to regret it later.
"Saving money is critical to your secure future. Your kids will grow up, and you will grow older – this I know," says Ware. "If you don't begin saving today, your retirement future is at risk."Here is Ware's advice on administering economic CPR – and some tough love, too – to your family finances.
The "C" in CPR stands for "communicate." Honesty and openness are the backbone of good communication. If you want to improve your family's finances, it's critical that every member of the family be candid with one another. Couples – including those with separate accounts – should start by having a heart-to-heart about where each person's money is going.
"Agree that you will both be honest about your spending habits," says Ware, who adds, "Secrets don't make strong relationships."
Unfortunately, when it comes to money matters, most couples in the United States keep so many secrets that they act more like double agents than trusting spouses. According to a survey from CESI Debt Solutions, as many as 80% of all couples engage in secret spending, hiding purchases from their partners and generally keeping their financial transactions hush-hush.
That's an easy way to collectively overspend – and to create both financial and communication barriers within a relationship.
Here's a better strategy: Lay out for your spouse what your true spending looks like, including all that stuff hidden in your car trunk, in various bags or in the back of your closet.
Well, maybe you don't have to lay everything out literally. But you do need to come clean verbally. Disclosure is good for the soul, and it serves a higher purpose: It will help you develop greater financial intimacy with your mate and a shared vision of where you both want to be economically.
Ware also says it's important to agree to discuss long-held money beliefs without fear of judgment. So if you're a spender or a shopaholic because you grew up in a household where your parents spent freely and easily and maybe even used their credit cards way too much, share that information with your spouse or partner. "Our past follows us wherever we go," says Ware.
Two final communications tips:
Remove 'I' and 'you' from your financial vocabulary. "There is no 'I' in team, and family finances are total teamwork. From this point forward, everything must be 'we' or 'us', not 'I' or 'me.' 'We' are in this together," says Ware.
Don't view money matters as a competition. Stop having power plays and money trips over who earns the most (or least), who saves the most (or least) or who gets to balance the family's checkbook. That's wasted energy that hurts your ability to work effectively together. Remember, says Ware, "you are both on the same team."
The "P" in CPR stands for "plan." After you identify how you're spending your money, consider whether you have "spending leaks" that need to be addressed. If so, figure out how you'll plug those leaks to eliminate spending that is or could be detrimental to your family's finances.
Establish your spending and saving goals as a unit. Dream and plan together. Make the process fun and future-oriented by focusing on the short-term, mid-range and long-term objectives you'd like to accomplish together.
For instance, would your family like to take a multiweek overseas vacation one summer? Plan for such an excursion by creating a "vacation fund" and putting money into the fund on a regular basis. Also, Ware recommends, "track your spending to make sure you are staying within your goals. Save receipts and update your check register."
It helps also to carve out a mini home office space just for bill paying. "Organization is the key to success," Ware says.
Her other biggest planning tip: Brainstorm together to find collective ways to save money as a family. If you have kids, get them involved. Children can be remarkably creative in coming up with money-saving ideas and strategies.
It's also important to get them to understand, as early as possible, that money isn't just meant to be spent. By talking about money with your kids, they should learn that it's important to save, donate and invest, too. Need some conversation starters? Read WalletPop's list of the best personal finance books for kids.
The "R" in CPR stands for "review." Ware suggests that couples and families review their budgets together in a relaxed non-threatening environment. A word of caution: "Don't let the budget become a tool for blame," says Ware.
While Ware suggests meeting on a weekly basis for a financial status update, for some families, that's just not possible. In that case, monthly meetings – or even quarterly check-ins – will have to suffice.
Whatever happens, though, don't go too long without checking the family's financial pulse. Things come up that may change the course of your plan, and if you see that something is amiss financially, it's best to bring it to the family's attention immediately.
Lastly, don't look at your budgeting and spending plans as 100% set in stone. "Tweak your budget as necessary," Ware says. "It will be constantly changing."
The purpose of the economic CPR process is to put all members of the family on the same page and to reduce financial tensions and strife in the household.
By working together as a team, you can restore your family finances to health and each member of the family can celebrate that shared economic achievement.

Sinopsis Shopping King Louie Episode 10 Element two
The town of Banff has a wide range of shops, with every little thing from massive brand clothes and technical outerwear, to nearby art and should-have souvenirs. One more poor shopping behavior I've noticed although shopping contains, men and women sampling or taste-testing meals whilst shopping. A handful of years back,the pavement vendors in Pondy Bazar were alloted shops in a newly constructed shopping complex in the exact same region. Get off the bus at Olav Kyrres Gate, Festplassen or Torget, and you will uncover yourself appropriate in the heart of Bergen's major shopping district. Despite my ability to buy issues practically being a talent I could be endorsed for on LinkedIn, I am actually not a person who enjoys the shopping procedure. A huge thank you to you all – you helped make a distinction with Shopping From The Heart!!
Take a walk in Strandgaten, marken, Hollendergaten, Øvregaten or at the historical Bryggen, and make your day of shopping in Bergen into anything special. In the compact city center, you can discover everything from the large and tempting brand retailers at the shopping malls to the little and exclusive niche stores with products you won't find anywhere else in the globe. Terima kasih…. Terima kasih karena sudah menjaga Louie." Kata Nenek Choi dengan mata berkaca-kaca. Hujan makin deras, ada orang asing bertudung kepala mengamati rumah Louie dan Bok Shil dari kejauhan. Expansion of business in the current years saw significant businesses setting up of huge shopping malls. Bergen has often been a city of traders and you will find plenty of tempting shopping – from small, specialised shops to huge department retailers.
Typically, shoppers who have the greatest amount of flexibility will save on most of their purchases as they will see that occasionally, shopping in the physical department shop is the least high-priced strategy of shopping, but other times, online shopping at the store's site is the least pricey approach.
The incredibly low-cost prices on Want are not fake, but the mobile shopping expertise does come with a handful of caveats. Masih di episode satu, chemistry dan storyline Shopping King Louie sudah cukup memberikan saya jaminan bahwa drama yang tayang di MBC ini patut saya ikuti setiap Rabu dan Kamis. Louie bertanya padaku… seberapa besar rasa sukaku padanya." Gumam Bok Sil seperti belum bisa menjawabnya. PayPal isn't just on the web you can also use PayPal from your mobile telephone on common apps and mobile websites. I am hunting forward to shopping by way of the evening to help the girls representing their merchandise and solutions.
Almost 50% of 25-34- year-olds use their phone to shop on-line whilst standing in line at a store.5 To support these shoppers study items much more very easily this vacation weekend, we rolled out new mobile functions to Google Shopping such as 360-degree imagery and a lot more detailed item data.… Read More

What a lovely day I had yesterday with Izzy up in London, she enjoyed herself so much. I took her to the Tower of London and as we got two for the price of one entrance fee with the train ticket it was very reasonable. There is so much to see and watch there it really is amazing, the staff are lovely and tell you all about some of the things and the jewels. They act out little scenarios from history, which is so good for the children as they enjoy and learn at the same time. The vault that the queens jewels are in is amazing and security very tight but not very noticeable, the size of the stones and diamonds are a unbelievable.
Today one of my granddaughters was 11, they are all growing up so quick it is making me feel very old. Jade is a lover of horses and goes riding and helps at the yard so birthday presents had a very horsey theme to them.
After a busy couple of days I will not be doing a lot over the weekend as I am shattered and I think the weather man was telling fibs as it was raining today and it is going to rain tomorrow. So much for it being nice and hot on Sunday 😒
I have got my homework to do though so I can write up my ten minute play I have written and get it printed out.

If you have always aspired to become a yoga teacher, you should wait no longer to pursue your career opportunities. By being a teacher you can deepen your practice, get a better insight about yourself, and help people find inner peace and healthy body. But how to become yoga instructor?
Here is a short, but helpful guide to help you:
Become a pro
Before you teach yoga to others, you need to learn it yourself like a pro. You need to develop a regular yoga practice. You should master all the yoga poses before you start your career as a yoga teacher. You should train under an experienced yoga instructor to get the best training on all the poses involved in yoga. Not just poses, you must be well aware of the benefits on health and mind that yoga brings. You should also know the right postures to be maintained during yoga.Decide which style of yoga you'd teach
There are different styles of yoga. After you get the answer to "how to become yoga instructor?" the next thing that you should ponder upon is "what style of yoga you'd choose to teach?" You need to decide whether you are planning to start providing beginners training or want to train the intermediate yoga students. It depends on your level of confidence and your expertise.
Finding job as a yoga trainer
When deciding how to become yoga instructor, you also need to know how to look for a job as a trainer. To begin with, you need to search for all the yoga and fitness centers that are there in your locality. Find out whether those are in need for a yoga trainer. Remember to check the level of training that's provided in a fitness center. If it complies well with your wish, you should be able to apply for the post of a yoga trainer. However, you need to check whether there is a vacancy there. There are reputed yoga centers that have websites. Thus, you can search for jobs online too. You can visit the websites of all the fitness and yoga training centers and find out whether they are in need for a yoga trainer. You must apply for the post of a trainer through their website.
Things to remember before choosing a yoga center
If you are choosing a yoga center, one of the most important things that you must check is the reputation of the center you are choosing. There might be many yoga and fitness centers near you. However, you should choose to work in a center that provides the best remuneration and also has a good infrastructure. Yoga needs a good environment and serene surrounding to practice. So, consider the location of the center that you are choosing. Remember, all these things matters a lot when it comes to becoming a good yoga teacher.
You must consider the remuneration of a yoga teacher. You must do a bit of research to find out what other yoga trainers are getting. You should ask for a suitable remuneration from the training center you are choosing.
Keep these guidelines in mind while choosing to become a yoga trainer.

If you think listening to an audio book is a
simple process of hearing someone read a book
aloud, think again. Audio-book aficionados all have
their favorite narrators, or "readers." In fact, being
a reader for audio books is fast becoming a hot job.
Some of the world's most talented and famous
actors are in-demand
readers because it gives
them a different venue
in which to show off
their range and talents.
Browse through an
assortment of audio
books and you'll see
some very familiar faces (or should I say you'll hear
some very familiar voices?). But even some less-known people are big stars in the audio-book
format. To hear one of the best in the biz, check
out longtime Mary Higgins Clark narrator Jan
Maxwell on the queen of suspense's latest,
Where Are You Now.
Every seasoned audio-book listener develops favorite readers, and some even follow
them to whichever new book they're reading
(having a friendly voice to guide you is a great
way to experience a new genre or to try
something totally different). Tone, inflection,
acting skill and a knack for telling a great story
make the best audio-book readers a hot com-
modity. Hear for yourself. Just sit back and know
you're in good hands—you're about to hear a
great story.
Listen to This
Shana Raw ers
Costco Assistant Book Buyer
Audio books
are making
an impact.
By Shana Rawers
I don't mean to brag,
but sometimes I like to commute to work with James
Patterson. John Grisham
has been known to be my
workout partner. And when
I say that there are many
authors whose work really
speaks to me, I mean it.
Like many, I'm an aud io-
book fan. This incredibly convenient format lends itself to just about any facet
of life—you can listen in your car, at the gym or
when you're out for a
walk or run; you can
convert audio books
to files on your portable MP3 player; or you
can listen while you're
relaxing at home.
It's no wonder
that this is one of the
fastest-growing categories in the entire publishing
industry. Everyone, it seems, is realizing how wonderful audio books are, from the care and precision
narrators take to make each story truly come alive
to the portability and versatility of the format.
That's why, at Costco, we're giving our members an ever broader range of audio titles. Spend
some time in the book section of the nearest
Costco warehouse to
see the full selection—
they're now grouped
under our new "Listen
to This" banner. There
you'll find our full
offering, and I think
you'll be surprised
Look for the new audio packaging at
Costco book aisle
by how much is there.
To whet your appetite,
here are a few samples:
John Grisham's The Appeal,
James Patterson's 7th
Heaven, Nora Roberts'
Blood Brothers, Stephen J.
Cannell's Three Shirt Deal, Jack Higgins' The Killing
Ground, mysteries from
Sue Grafton and so much
more. Sound good? You'd
better believe it!
Be sure to check for
new "Listen to This" titles
whenever you visit Costco.
We're working to give
our members the selection of audio books they
crave. And watch this space
in upcoming issues of The
Costco Connection, where I'll
give you the scoop on all the
latest audio titles.
So stay tuned—and
enjoy your audio books! ◆
Beware! Audio books are addictive!
Once you start, you may not be able to stop.
I hear stories all the time of people who
sit in their cars long after they reach their
destinations, just to hear a little bit more.
Is that crazy? Not at
all! It just shows how
committed audio book
lovers really are. (By
the way, the urge to
keep listening can
be put to good use:
If you're enjoying an
audio book while out for a walk or at the
gym, you may want to keep going while you
stay tuned.)
Think you're strong enough to resist?
Go ahead and give Jonathan Kellerman's
Compulsion or Linda
Fairstein's Killer Heat a
try. Just be sure to allot
plenty of time for your
new listening passion.
And remember, you
can always enjoy the
rest of the story later.

Henckels, Andreas and Gruhn, Patrick and Gülhan, Ali (2008) Design and Experimental Verification of a Scram-Jet Inlet in Frame of ESA's LAPCAT Program. In: Proceedings of the 6th European Symposium on Aerothermodynamics for Space Vehicles, SP-659. 6th European Symposium on Aerothermodynamics for Space Vehicles, 2008-11-03 - 2008-11-06, Versailles, Frankreich.
Full text not available from this repository.
In 2005 ESA started a research program LAPCAT (Long-Term Advanced Propulsion Concepts And Technologies) to identify and assess propulsion technologies to reduce the duration of long distance flights. One selected vehicle, the LAPCAT M8, is proposed to feature an RBCC (Rocket Based Combined Cycle) engine. Starting from Mach 4 up to the cruise Mach number of 8 it is propelled by an air-breathing SCRAM-jet. The subject of this paper is the design and the wind tunnel verification of the air inlet for this vehicle. Because of the vehicles forebody shock, the inlet is exposed to an oncoming flow of about Mach 6. It then has to compress a sufficient air mass flow up to supersonic combustion conditions. To meet this requirement, a planar, non self-starting inlet contour was designed by inviscid CFD tools. This contour features two external compression ramps, followed by a cowl that generates an internal shock train. To reduce boundary layer separation induced by the cowl shocks, a mixed bleed/diverter channel was integrated. The bleed keeps the separation bubble contained and prevents the inlet from choking. Based on the designed inlet, a scaled wind tunnel model was built. It is equipped with moveable ramps in order to start the inlet. During the test runs, a throttle mounted downstream the inlet simulates the counter pressure of the combustion and measures the mass flow. An integrated window and several static pressure taps allow to monitor the internal compression process. Two Pitot probes combined with static pressure data at the inlet exit are used to predict the pressure recovery and the Mach number. A first test campaign at the H2K blow down facility proved the functionality of the designed inlet. At the design configuration the inlet met all its requirements. Several tests at off design conditions, i.e. at a lower amount of bleed or at different angles of attack and yaw provided valuable information about it's off design operation and inlet flow topology.
