Book excerpt: November 10, 1938. Germany. Kristallnacht. Night of Broken Glass. Eleven year old Alex Lebenstein comes face to face with the Nazi regime that is determined to exterminate all Jews from the face of Europe. After witnessing the beating of his family, they escape to be hidden for a few days before being forced into the newly created Jewish Ghetto where he will spend the next three years. A six day cattle car ride during one of the coldest winters on record to the larger Jewish Ghetto in Riga, Latvia is merely the first destination of what will become a three year battle of survival. From the concentration camps Kaiserwald and Stutthof, and slave labor camps Hasenpot and Burggraben to liberation and escape, teenaged Alex Lebenstein lived the sights, sounds, and smells of death. Despite facing execution, and living under the shadows of the crematoria chimneys that darkened the skies with black smoke, this is a tale of hope and wonder. It has been some sixty plus years since I have thought about a number of the events that I witnessed or survived during the time that I was a teenager. I must refer to myself as a teenager, and cant say child, because I largely did not have a childhood after the evening of Kristallnacht. This dark period of my life was so traumatic that it is only recently that I have been able to confront the shadows and noises that still cause me to start whenever I see or hear them. Of all the sights and sounds that left a lasting impression on me during the years that I fought to survive, there is no doubt that the sounds I experienced while we huddled on the gazebo are the ones that will forever haunt me. Even now, I cannot hear the sound of leaves scraping on the sidewalk or the bricks of my apartment without flashing back to the time that we huddled on that old gazebo and that eerie sound of dead leaves and vines added to the sheer terror that I was feeling. More than a story of survival, this is a tale of good triumphing over evil, and one mans battle to make a difference in the lives of children. With a new lease on life, he now promotes tolerance through education on two continents, and tells his remarkable story so that the children will know.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We often start to contemplate our Gazebo while were still riding the crest of the wave in mid-life. Power and influence, success and wealth! Occasionally, however, we feel old. Intermittently we anticipate retiring and abdicating the rat race. No matter how great our zeal for learning and growing, we begin actually to fall away. As we lose our independence, we strive to face the end of life with acceptance rather than fatalism, with faith, not despair. Eventually our path leads us into a quiet place. We sit there, gazing down the trail that curves away into Eternity. Because we can relax, we now have time to watch the world go by. While the world looks in on us, we have nothing to hide. Indeed, we Oldies just might have something useful to share. Something good. Something available only in the Gazebo.

This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation intends to create a simulation of search and rescue (SaR) missions using Gazebo virtual world and Robot Operating System (ROS). The simulator is evaluated with multiple robots search using the Robotic Darwinian Particle Swarm Optimization (RDPSO) exploration algorithm, considering several real-world phenomena, such as radio frequency (RF) and voice. Although the RDPSO algorithm has already been developed and evaluated in Matlab environment, it cannot be directly implemented in real platforms. To address this disadvantage, ROS was chosen to implement the algorithm and, due to its compatibility with ROS, Gazebo was chosen as the simulation platform to evaluate multi-robot systems in SaR scenarios. For the RDPSO to be fully implemented, the RF signal and voice propagation models were equally implemented in ROS. For that matter, mathematic models, previously proposed in the literature, are analyzed and a study about the environment noise influence in missions of SaR based on voice localization is conducted. The RF model was simulated using the multi-wall method, which does not only consider the free space signal loss but also the loss of walls with different properties (e.g., thickness and type). The voice model is based on the RF model by adjusting the parameters to better adapt to the voice properties. The RDPSO algorithm, implemented in ROS, uses the RF model to simulate its mobile ad hoc network (MANET) connectivity component. In the context of finding victims, the RDPSO uses the voice propagation model to simulate the call for help by the victims. Environment noise was introduced in the simulation, which influenced the victims’ rescue rate by making harder for the rescue team to listen to the victim’s call. This influence is bigger as the environment noise level gets higher, thus there is the need for a better exploration of the map as the rescue team has to walk closer and closer to the victims, so that voice and noise can be distinguished.

Book excerpt: HE'D NEVER BEEN AS ATTRACTED TO—OR SUSPICIOUS OF—A WOMAN IN HIS LIFE… Raising horses—not spying on scheming females—was rugged Russ Simon's passion. Still, for his family's sake, he grudgingly agreed to discover whether poor if pretty rancher Marigold Crowley was a gold-digging impostor…or a truly missing heiress. Cynical-about-women Russ never expected to fall for his golden-haired quarry. With her unsuspecting smile, her soft lilac scent and her innocent love of horses, orphaned Mari seemed hungry for a family, not a fortune. And Russ ached to make her his. Trouble was, could he trust her? Worse, once Mari uncovered his seductive charade, would she trust him?

Book excerpt: The adventure continues! Perhaps setting fire to his ship in the middle of the sea hadn’t been the smartest move, but it wasn’t Drome’s fault. It wasn’t him who’d thrown the fireballs. Okay, so technically, if he hadn’t annoyed the wizard, he’d still be ineptly navigating the sailing ship instead of nearly drowning and ending up on a remote beach. But how was he to know the cranky wizard he’d upset a couple of weeks ago was aboard? Being shipwrecked in a dangerous zone populated by homicidal, but angelic looking maniacs isn’t much fun, especially when Drome’s skeletal companion is behaving so unreasonably. Perhaps he should point out it isn’t his fault there’s such a hostile atmosphere between them. An unsavoury beachcomber promises to guide them to safety in a way which turns out to be quite the opposite. Despite the setbacks, Drome hopes he and his somatically-challenged partner can stay alive. And it really isn’t fair the leaders of a town he’s passing through sentence him to death for inciting rebellion. It’s not like he deliberately sets out to upset people. Why can’t anyone see he’s trying to do the right thing? Getting back home to warn his fellow villagers of a bunch of bloodthirsty troops heading their way is important. Dammit! He needs a plan. And maybe a bit of help. But he definitely isn’t going to ask for any. Specifically, not from a certain living skeleton with an attitude problem. If you like Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, and Joe Abercrombie, you won't be able to put down the compulsively addictive Hollow series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the beginning, Steven Stanford had started off like any other normal kid, the desire to have a place he could call his own. In his back yard had grown a massive cottonwood tree, larger than any other tree in the neighborhood. There had been the initial complaints that allowing him to build a tree house would not only be an eyesore, but would also lower property values. After all, kids would use anything for building materials. Steven was not the average twelve-year-old. His father, Michael Stanford, was the foreman for Diamond Estate Homes. At age seven, during the summer vacations, Steven was more interested in spending his days with his father and the workers than playing ball with his friends. He had been fascinated to see bare ground transformed into a beautiful house. The love for the craft could be seen now as he and three friends painstakingly coated every finished piece of lumber with a durable water sealer over stained finish. The work completed was nearly all conception of the idea; Steven had shoveled snow and mowed lawns throughout the neighborhood so that he could purchase the materials on his own, from his father and the men on the construction sites. He learned the finer points of framing, fishing, and furnishing it, without the technical details, the multiple levels and handmade arched windows would not have been possible. As the boys stepped back to admire the final result, Steven took notice of the crowd gathering for the last hour on the street just to the side of his yard. There were parents with kids and cameras. A man and woman from a news van, and Vanessa, the most beautiful girl in his homeroom class this year. Steven couldnt believe she was actually looking at him! Summoning his courage, he raised his hand and smiled. Expecting her to ignore him as she had done all through school, but instead, she smiled and waved back. Unbelievingly, he quickly glanced over his shoulder at his buddies. They were still admiring the tree house and its decks. It had really been him she had waved to! Guys! Check it out! Its Vanessa! Steven said, trying not to sound too excited. Embarrassing him, they ran to the railing and pointed right at her. Holy shit! Brian said, Her boobs are even bigger! Like youd know what to do with them! Carl said, giving Brian a shove. More than you! At least Ive seen boobs, real boobs! Forcing himself to look away, Steven looked annoyingly at Brian. Your sisters dont count. Bite me, dill weed! Boobs are boobs. Steven dismissed his claim with a wave of his hand as he turned toward the lowered gangway stairs. It wasnt worth fighting over. Besides, Loris boobs were nothing new, but Steven would never admit to having taken her for a ride in his goat cart for the chance to feel them. On the ground, he lost his sight of Vanessa and feared shed be gone by the time he opened the fate through the tall picket fence, but immediately spotted her again just as the reporter and her cameraman intercepted on the sidewalk. When he tried to skirt them. The woman blocked his path. Hi! Im Linda Gray from channel four news. Is that your tree house? Yeah, he answered, relieved at seeing Vanessa walking toward him. Its very impressive. Did you build it all by yourself, or did your dad help you? My dad helped me with the electricity. Its the law. And y my friends helped too. Your parents must be very proud. If its all right with your folks, wed like to do a story on it. Would mind giving us a tour? Filing his thought was the question why Jessica stood smiling broadly just a foot away from him. She was so close that he could smell an intoxicating fragrance coming from her hair. Could a girl smell any better than she did right now? A hand in the middle of his back sent him stumbling forward causing him to bump into Vanessa. Geez, are you going to kiss her or stand here all day? Brian asked. The realization that the chest had pressed toget

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year is 1776. A memorable year in American history. A year every American points to with pride, but what was it like to live during that year? Indeed during all the years of the British occupation of Long Island and New York. More to the point of this story, what was it like for a young thirteen year old farm boy to grow up on Long Island during that seven year occupation? The Youngest Patriot is the story of just such a young boy. It is the story of Elijah Churchill who meets Lieutenant Benjamin Tallmadge of the Continental Army who is on his way to Brooklyn Heights to join with his 2nd Connecticut Light Dragoons. Elijah pleads with Tallmadge to take him with him so that he can join the army and fight for his country. Tallmadge tells him he is too young. Elijahs father forbids him to even try to enlist. Defying them both he runs away from home and goes to Brooklyn Heights where Washingtons army is building fortifications against the impending British invasion. Through a series of events, Elijah does indeed become a soldier and his life intertwines with that of Benjamin Tallmadge. The tale of these seven years as Elijah becomes a man, has as its backdrop the exciting American revolution; our fight for liberty and independence. The account shows the beginnings of the Secret Service and the Central Intelligence Agency. Tallmadge and Elijah become very much a part of the Culper spy ring set up by General Washington. A secret message would run full circle, if you will, from Oyster Bay to New York City by courier, by horseback out to Setauket, and by whaleboat across the Long Island Sound to Connecticut. The saga of Nathan Hale is told as seen through the eyes of those who knew him and it was the Culper spy ring that first uncovered the plot which exposed and brought disgrace to Benedict Arnold. The narrative tells of George Washingtons frustration as he keeps hope for freedom alive as he repeatedly evades contact with the British until his initial victories at Trenton and Princeton. This is the story of the most important American war as seen through the eyes of a young boy from Setauket as he grows to manhood. His fears, anxieties, troubles, memories, and battles for the young republic culminate with Elijah receiving the Purple Heart designed and awarded by General Washington.

Book excerpt: Transcultural Anglophone Studies (TAS) engages with the cultural production of speakers of World English in any part of the former British Empire, and the migrational diasporas resulting thereof. Anglophone texts - in print or other media - have had a tremendous impact despite their relatively `belated' entry to the cultural field. Since TAS forms a vast, heteronomous research area, this Introduction is a first guide for students and researchers. In providing analytical tools for engaging with these exceptional texts, it situates them in the larger context of globalization and neocolonialism.
