Vesta Finch never dreamed of working for NOVA Space Company. Yet, she finds herself in the background of NOVA Ames in Palo Alto, fixing up lattes and americanos as a barista for weary astronauts while also working as a therapist. And when Vesta makes a run for it for an afternoon therapy session, Vesta finds herself suddenly fired from her famed fun fact of a job, and at a loss of what to do next. Convinced to apply for a similar job at another space company by her roommates, Vesta finds herself sewing on her galaxy-themed dress and picking herself up by the joyful shade of her red lipstick. Enter Greyson Redding, astrophysicist and astronaut at disgraced space company, DAYS. Not only has he and his crew failed at their jobs at the consequence of their reputation, but he's failed at his engagement. When a barista enters his life on multiple serendipitous meetings, Greyson finds his solution to please his family-and not mathematically. As Vesta is hired to be a receptionist for DAYS, she also finds herself suddenly proposed to be Greyson Redding's fake girlfriend after a run in with his parents on a less than exceptional date setup by Vesta's friends. Yet-will either be ready to face their feelings as Greyson's launch date looms? Or will both be left heartbroken in the craters of love?

Sorcha Carmody owns 365 satin gloves.Living with contamination focused obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), Sorcha battles her way to recovery in her own ways, whether it be opening doors with her elbows or carrying around her own coffee creamer--and whether it means keeping it a secret from everyone in her life. Working as a reporter at the Adoration Times, a newspaper solely focused on weddings and love, Sorcha has become disillusioned with the romantic complex after her latest breakup. To make matters worse, Adoration is transferring ownership over to the brooding CEO Dmitri Darlington. When Dmitri offers Sorcha a promotion in exchange for teaching him her reporter ways, she has no choice but to say yes. Sorcha concocts a plan to make Dmitri fall in love to ease his irritable temperament. Just as Sorcha bargains for Dmitri to move into an apartment with her for her plans to unfold, she is sent on assignment to a destination wedding in Monterey, California by her boss---and forced to bring Dmitri along. With nowhere to run, Sorcha is finally forced to confront her OCD fears...with a person she'd never expect. Even amidst her matchmaking and attempt to save the newspaper, Sorcha can't help but begin to understand the shy Dmitri, realizing he is not as awful as his reputation makes him seem, and perhaps it is time to write a new headline for her own life...and his. Yet, the more she begins to know him, she can't help but wonder, will he stay once he learns the reason behind the satin gloves? Or will he run because of his own secrets?

Seminar paper de l'ann e 2010 dans le domaine Etudes des langues romanes - Fran ais - Litt rature, note: 1,0, Christian-Albrechts-Universit t Kiel (Romanisches Seminar), cours: Literaturwissenschaftliches Hauptseminar Franz sisch "Le th tre classique- Corneille, Racine, Moli re," langue: Fran ais, r sum Ce m moire traitera de la trag die Ph dre de Jean Racine. Son but est de montrer qui a influenc la grande oeuvre de Racine, les auteurs antiques que Racine a copi s et o dans la pi ce on peut voir cette influence. Apr s l'analyse de la pi ce, on s'attachera l'importance et la port e de l'approche et de la d marche de Racine. Dans un premier temps, je pr senterai les circonstances et les conditions sous lesquelles la pi ce a t crite pour mieux comprendre l'importance de Ph dre pour la litt rature fran aise. Ensuite, je r sumerai le contenu de la trag die avant d'analyser l'oeuvre en trois phases: description des personnages principaux, structure et, sujet principal de ce travail, les sources et les mod les de l'antiquit . Il est tr s important de traiter d'abord les personnages - surtout Ph dre et Hippolyte - pour comprendre les ressemblances avec les auteurs antiques qui seront trait s apr s et pour pouvoir voir l'influence importante du jans nisme sur la vision du monde de Racine. La structure de la pi ce aussi est soumise des principes qui taient typiques l' poque, mais qui suivaient le mod le d'Aristote. La troisi me partie de l'analyse montrera que la version tr s connue dans nos jours encore de Ph dre de Racine, se base sur une histoire qui a d j t racont e dans la Bible et qui s'est d velopp e travers des versions diff rentes d'auteurs diff rents. Pour ne pas sortir du cadre de ce m moire, je me limiterai aux sources et mod les de la Gr ce ancienne et de l'ancienne Rome. Les auteurs fran ais qui ont utilis la m me histoire avant et apr s Racine, ne seront pas mentionn s, parce que leur influence sur Racine n'est pas aussi grande, visibl

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Romanistik - Spanische Sprache, Literatur, Landeskunde, Note: 2,3, Christian-Albrechts-Universit t Kiel (Romanisches Seminar), Veranstaltung: Proseminar 2 Linguistik, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In Mexiko besteht seit der Kolonisierung ein mehr oder minder starker Kultur- und Sprachkontakt zwischen indigenen Sprachen und dem Spanischen. Doch die Vorraussetzungen f r die gegenseitige Beeinflussung der Sprachen sind unterschiedlich: w hrend ein Viertel der Bev lkerung in der Hauptstadt Mexiko- Stadt lebt, gibt es auch relativ unber hrte Gebiete wie in Yucatan oder im Hochland von Chiapas. In der folgenden Hausarbeit soll die gegenseitige Beeinflussung der verschiedenen Sprachen untersucht werden. Nach einem kurzen berblick werde ich das mexikanische Spanisch charakterisieren um im n chsten Schritt auf die Sprachkontakte eingehen zu k nnen. Hier werde ich die wichtigsten Sprachen Mexikos nennen und die Einfl sse der Indiosprachen auf das Spanische beschreiben. Auf die Themen 'Einflussfaktoren', 'Indigenismen' und ' sprachliche Entwicklung in Jamiltepec' werde ich n her eingehen. In dem letztgenannten Punkt werden linguistische Merkmale der bilingualen Indios aufgef hrt. Unter 'Einfl sse durch das Spanische in Mexiko' wird der Spracheinfluss in die entgegengesetzte Richtung behandelt, insbesondere die Unterpunkte 'Der Prozess des Aussterbens einer Sprache', der sich in die drei Punkte 'Lexik', 'Phonetik/ Phonologie' und 'Morphologie und Syntax' teilt und 'Die Ver nderung des Chontal in Tuxta'. Im Anschluss werde ich eine kurze Zusammenfassung in spanischer Sprache verfassen und eine abschlie ende Bemerkung vornehmen.
