Chris Wall with Shining Isle Productions, and distributed by Angel Studios. Janner, Tink, and Leeli Igiby, the Lost Jewels of Anniera, are hiding from Gnag the Nameless in the Green Hollows, one of the few places in the land of Aerwiar not overrun by the Fangs of Dang. But there's a big problem. Janner's little brother--heir to the throne of Anniera--has grown a tail. And gray fur. Not to mention two pointed ears and long, dangerous fangs. To the suspicious folk of the Green Hollows, he looks like a monster. But Janner knows better. His brother isn't as scary as he looks. He's perfectly harmless. Isn't he?

Where have all the smart people gone?And more importantly: Where have all the diligent and ambitious people gone? Now one often sees books about language hacks, learning a language while sleeping or through just talking to people. Then there are the 12-steps-to-success-this and master-grammar-by-deconstructing-it-that gurus. The truth is that language learning is not actually hard in the sense that one has to be smart to do it - thus the title. Reasonably smart is all we need to learn a language. It doesn't have to be a chore either; it can be fun. But we have to do it seriously. We have to put in the effort and put in the time. It takes quite a bit of time. But it is also achievable. I think what language learners need is a book that clearly lays out how to learn a language properly, without arbitrary shortcuts or absurd time-frames and silly distractions.I have learned a bunch of European as well as non-European languages and in this book I share both my insights as well as those of other successful language learners and some of the relevant linguistic findings.The book has three parts: 1) Introduction: The Method2) Main Part: All the steps learners need to take from beginning to end and a systematic discussion of all aspects of the language journey3) Final Part: Miscellaneous Problems: 37 short chapters that deal with the details, problems and frequently asked questionsTo make the book as useful as possible there are three example cases -> Spanish, Russian and Japanese (which in turn are similar to Italian, Ukrainian and Chinese etc.). Many people want to learn Spanish, Russian or Japanese or one of the languages from their language families, like French or other Romance or Asian languages. This way, readers understand how language learning generally works and they receive a meta-plan and a blueprint they can use for their purposes. Finally, the concrete cases serve to make the whole thing as clear and applicable as possible.I have learned quite a few languages myself. I like doing it, and with this book I want to help people who also want to do it.

Are you interested in Upside-Down Gardening? Do you want a step-by-step, easy to follow guide on getting started? Are you worried that you do not have enough space in your new hoe to set up a traditional garden? Do you want to know some of the new methods of gardening that will help you to grow vegetables and fruits that you like in your home and that too on your terraces or patio or backyard? Well, one of the very popular and easy method of gardening these days that is attracting a lot of homeowners is the upside down gardening. Upside down gardening is gaining popularity among plant lovers and is the practice of growing plants that hang down from planters. This practice of growing plants upside down is on the rise now as people are able to grow more crops in smaller spaces. Using this technique, any homeowner with less space around the house can grow the necessary vegetables, fruits or flowers for the kitchen on their patios, porch, deck or the small backyard area, hooks on the compound walls or even indoors. The urbanization and the modern day space constraints have reduced the available space for agriculture and gardening. The upside down garden is a good method to grow vegetables for your use. Any person who is interested in gardening or who wants to use healthy food without pesticides can opt for this type of vegetable and fruit garden. It is not possible to grow all types of vegetables using this method. Only selected fruits and vegetable plants can be grown upside down. This can be a major time-pass for the family. The other major factor attracting people towards this type of gardening is that the requirement of water is very less if proper protection is given to the planters. It is the ideal gardening solution for city dwellers who are facing serious space constraints.

Jealousies and bitterness threaten to tear apart the three Igiby siblings, heirs to a legendary kingdom across the sea, just when they must work together to battle the monsters of Glipwood Forest, the thieving Stranders of the East Bend, and the dreaded Fork Factory.

"Whether a first-time visitor or a repeat traveler to the always mysterious and sometimes treacherous Glipwood Forest, this illustrated guide is an invaluable addition to any Wingfeather fan's knapsack"--

Janner, Tink, and Leeli Igiby experience many fantastic adventures while looking for a lost treasure.

This lecture presents a modern approach for the computation of Mathieu functions. These functions find application in boundary value analysis such as electromagnetic scattering from elliptic cylinders and flat strips, as well as the analogous acoustic and optical problems, and many other applications in science and engineering. The authors review the traditional approach used for these functions, show its limitations, and provide an alternative "e;tuned"e; approach enabling improved accuracy and convergence. The performance of this approach is investigated for a wide range of parameters and machine precision. Examples from electromagnetic scattering are provided for illustration and to show the convergence of the typical series that employ Mathieu functions for boundary value analysis.

This lecture provides an introduction to transmission line effects in the time domain. Fundamentals including time of flight, impedance discontinuities, proper termination schemes, nonlinear and reactive loads, and crosstalk are considered. Required prerequisite knowledge is limited to conventional circuit theory. The material is intended to supplement standard textbooks for use with undergraduate students in electrical engineering or computer engineering. The contents should also be of value to practicing engineers with interests in signal integrity and high-speed digital design. Table of Contents: Introduction / Solution of the Transmission Line Equations / DC Signals on a Resistively Loaded Transmission Line / Termination Schemes / Equivalent Circuits, Cascaded Lines, and Fan-Outs / Initially-Charged Transmission Lines / Finite Duration Pulses on Transmission Lines / Transmission Lines with Reactive Terminations / Lines with Nonlinear Loads / Crosstalk on Weakly Coupled Transmission Lines

The method-of-moments solution of the electric field and magnetic field integral equations (EFIE and MFIE) is extended to conducting objects modeled with curved cells. These techniques are important for electromagnetic scattering, antenna, radar signature, and wireless communication applications. Vector basis functions of the divergence-conforming and curl-conforming types are explained, and specific interpolatory and hierarchical basis functions are reviewed. Procedures for mapping these basis functions from a reference domain to a curved cell, while preserving the desired continuity properties on curved cells, are discussed in detail. For illustration, results are presented for examples that employ divergence-conforming basis functions with the EFIE and curl-conforming basis functions with the MFIE. The intended audience includes electromagnetic engineers with some previous familiarity with numerical techniques.

This lecture provides a tutorial introduction to the Nyström and locally-corrected Nyström methods when used for the numerical solutions of the common integral equations of two-dimensional electromagnetic fields. These equations exhibit kernel singularities that complicate their numerical solution. Classical and generalized Gaussian quadrature rules are reviewed. The traditional Nyström method is summarized, and applied to the magnetic field equation for illustration. To obtain high order accuracy in the numerical results, the locally-corrected Nyström method is developed and applied to both the electric field and magnetic field equations. In the presence of target edges, where current or charge density singularities occur, the method must be extended through the use of appropriate singular basis functions and special quadrature rules. This extension is also described. Table of Contents: Introduction / Classical Quadrature Rules / The Classical Nyström Method / The Locally-Corrected Nyström Method / Generalized Gaussian Quadrature / LCN Treatment of Edge Singularities

El galardonado autor y compositor Andrew Peterson, siendo lo más honesto posible, comparte una historia de infancia, dolor, redención y paz, caminando a través de un bosque de recuerdos: "Confío en que al contar mi historia, te encontrarás con la tuya.Award-winning author and songwriter Andrew Peterson, being as honest as possible, shares a story of childhood, grief, redemption, and peace, by walking through a forest of memories: "I trust that by telling my story, you'll encounter yours.

The Next Ten Minutes provides practical and entertaining ways to rethink the everyday and experience the transformative power of the present moment—turning mundane activities into meditative opportunities for self-awareness and personal growth. The desire to discover meaning in our lives is a powerful motivator for many people. Some turn to psychotherapy and counseling for help, some turn to spiritual teachings, and many turn to both. The Next Ten Minutes is the guide to help us discover the seeds of transformation and meaning in even the most ordinary routines. The Next Ten Minutes consists of a collection of exercises originally created for use in Dr. Peterson’s successful counseling practice. Rather than taking readers out of the everyday, Dr. Peterson invites them to move more deeply into the familiar tasks of ordinary life, such as turning simple breathing, eating, physical love, or throwing out the trash into meditative exercises that can transform your day. Based on both Buddhist philosophy and proven psychology techniques, these succinct and accessible meditations also offer simple and effective methods for therapeutic counseling and personal growth. The power to seize the day is but a few simple steps away.
