The truth can have deadly consequences...On a sunny morning, when the Mediterranean is dead calm, Captain Paul Thomas embarks on a dive to the wreck of the Zenobia, off the coast of Larnaca, Cyprus. Within hours, he has taken his final, gasping breath in an accident below the surface. A new Royal Military Police liaison is required to pick up on his work, and Major Helen Scott gets the assignment.It turns out Paul Thomas had rattled cages during his current case - four serving soldiers are in custody accused of the leaking of state intelligence. If proven, the scandal would rock the foundation of the armed forces. Once on Cyprus, it becomes clear that the island relies on a delicate balance of old-school glad-handing and turning a blind eye, and anyone who threatens to upset the equilibrium will find themselves in the line of fire...An action-packed crime thriller from million copy bestseller Rachel Lynch, perfect for fans of Angela Marsons and Lee Child.Praise for The Line ‘One of the most exciting and involving thrillers I’ve read … full of action with an abundance of drama, suspense and twists and turns.… worthy of far more than five stars.’ ?????

The Line of Sixteen: Searching for my children’s great, great grandparents is based around the cohort of direct ancestors four steps back from the two children (who are now adults) in John Rigg’s family.Some lines go back further to 16th Century Yorkshire and Hannover and 17th Century Suffolk – but the author has not simply sought as many pieces as possible of the (never-ending) jigsaw puzzle. Rather, the focus is on the lives led by the members of the cast list.There are no Prime Ministers or Admirals of the Fleet in this narrative. Instead, there are the ‘ordinary’ people whose resilience and determination have taken this family story through to the present day.They were the ones who raised their families, worked hard and migrated to better their prospects. They were the ones who experienced the Great Famine in the Ireland of the 1840s, the horrors of the First World War and the perils of service in the Merchant Navy during the Second World War – and whose personal stories deserve to be told.By describing his detailed research methodology, the author provides valuable insights on the sources to be explored and the pitfalls to be avoided when compiling any family history.

pokkari
Welcome to Life Line Poetry. This second edition, Life Line Poetry, is inspired by the experiences of a selection of friends, family and associates' lifetime stories which were rearranged in the author's own imagination. It also depicts the development of her own childhood. These stories have impacted a big part in Chantal's development in life, and have shaped the way she thinks in life's circumstances, decisions and evaluations. She realised that every life experience is totally different towards how we live our lives and what we do next depends on how that experience evolves. There is no totally right answer in such situations. These stories relate to all generations, acknowledging what you would do if you were he or she, and how you would have solved that situation better. I hope Life Line Poetry brings you a sense of upliftment and understanding towards other people's circumstances and also your own.

The Line of Sight

The Line of Sight

Andrew Parker

Atlantic Books

sidottu
Why do we have the expression 'see red'? How did consciousness evolve? Why do we sleep badly in blue light? Why are we happier when surrounded by nature? The answer to all of these questions lies in the evolution of vision. In The Line of Sight, eminent scientist Andrew Parker sets us on an enthralling journey through the development of our dominant sense, starting with our earliest animal ancestors millions of years ago. Combining cutting-edge science with gripping narrative, he argues that vision - both in the eye and the brain - was integral to humanity's development, playing a crucial role in the evolution of consciousness, artistic expression, language development, emotion, and more. What's more, by understanding the crucial role of vision in our story, we can better design our world today.

An in-depth examination of one of the most frustrating and costly efforts by the US Army in the European Theater of Operations.The Allies first encountered the Siegfried Line (Westwall) fortifications in September 1944, having pursued the retreating Wehrmacht through Belgium and the Netherlands. The border area around Aachen had been fortified with a double line of bunkers, and both the terrain and the weather made things difficult for the Allies.With illustrations throughout, this book focuses on the involvement of the US First and Ninth armies in the six-month fighting, including the hellish fighting for the Hürtgen forest.

Maginot Line 1940

Marc Romanych; Martin Rupp

Osprey Publishing

The failure of the Maginot Line shocked the world and lead to the sudden collapse of organized French resistance against Germany.Constructed throughout the 1930s, the Maginot Line was supposed to form the ultimate defence against a German invasion of France. However, different sections of the line were built at different times and the strength of various sections varied widely. During their Blitzkrieg invasion, the Germans were able to identify these weak points and focus their attacks against them.This book uses maps and period photographs to tell the story of the five German operations launched against the Maginot Line. While the Germans were able to smash through the lightly defended section of the line along the Meuse River, at other points the line held. Although ultimately the Maginot Line was to prove a failure, the stiff resistance put up by some of the fortresses confirms the fighting ability of the French army during the invasion.

Assembly Line Design

Assembly Line Design

Brahim Rekiek; Alain Delchambre

Springer London Ltd
2005
sidottu
Efficient assembly line design is a problem of industrial importance. Assembly line design is often complex due to the multiple components involved: efficiency, cost and space. The aim is to integrate the design with operations issues, minimising costs. It is important to give the designer tools to help him meet the different objectives. 3 techniques based on the Grouping Genetic Algorithm are presented which can be used to aid assembly line design: - ‘equal piles for assembly lines’ deals with assembly line balancing (balancing stations’ loads); - a method based on a multiple objective grouping genetic algorithm (MO-GGA) deals with resource planning (selection of equipment); - ‘balance for operation’, deals with the changes during the operation of assembly lines. This book will interest technical personnel in design, planning and production departments in industry as well as managers in industry. It will also be of use to researchers and postgraduates in mechanical, manufacturing or micro-engineering.

His counterpart over at MI6 has received alarming intelligence from a high-placed Syrian source. A Middle East peace conference is planned to take place at Gleneagles in Scotland and several heads of state will attend. The Syrians have learned that two individuals are mounting an operation to disrupt the peace conference in a way designed to be spectacular, laying the blame at Syria's door. The source claims that Syrian Intelligence will act against the pair, presumably by killing them. No one knows who they are or what they are planning to do. Are they working together? Who is controlling them? Or is the whole story a carefully laid trail of misinformation? It is Liz's job to find out. But, as she discovers, the threat is far greater than she or anyone else could have imagined. The future of the whole of the Middle East is at stake and the conference deadline is drawing ever closer.

Imperial College Press
2010
sidottu
This book presents a comprehensive overview of the modern theory of spectral line broadening and shifting by pressure of atmospheric gases. It describes current semi-classical methods for calculating vibrotational line widths and shifts, including very recent modifications and new developments realised by the authors themselves. For most of the considered molecular systems, analytical formulae are also given, which enable the calculation of line broadening coefficients without the use of semi-classical methods. The results of calculations by various approaches are compared with experimental data available in the literature. Numerous appendices list theoretical expressions and parameters' values required for the writing of computer programs for calculation of line broadening and line shifting coefficients.The book is addressed to undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as to professional scientists and researchers working in the field of molecular physics, molecular spectroscopy, quantum chemistry and mathematical physics.

"Maurice Scully is not a poet for whom experience is shrouded in words. He doesn't begin with complicated patterns of sound that disentangle into conventional forms, or a neat trope that encapsulates a truth that oft was thought but ne'er so well expressed. He begins outside the job, the task ahead of him and the Tipp-Ex on the table. The poem, as it writes itself before our eyes, is not a particularly desirable consumable; it is not a hoarded memory or a discovered analogy worked up into universal truth. Objects and events are left alone to retain their ordinariness. This is not high-octane performance; the poet is not a magus overwhelming us with rich metaphor and heavy consonants, tricksy rhymes and deft analogies. It's instead more like the work of a verbal mime artist: nothing permanent is involved except what's conjured up; making poems is work as play. While poems that seek to impress their skill can lose touch with that aim - be overtaken by ambition, rivalry or simply the need to put bread on the table with a new USP -, differently, here, the self-deprecating humour undercuts pretension. The formula is low-energy and sustainable, a manner of proceeding that doesn't exhaust the available means, that leaves its readers a decent breathing space." -from the Introduction by J.C.C. Mays
