Sweep: The Story of a Girl and Her Monster by Jonathan Auxier Pdf

A brand-new novel by one of today's most powerful storytellers, Sweep is a heart-rending adventure about the everlasting gifts of friendship and hope. For nearly a century, Victorian London relied on "climbing boys"--orphans owned by chimney sweeps--to clean flues and protect homes from fire. The work was hard, thankless and brutally dangerous. Eleven-year-old Nan Sparrow is quite possibly the best climber who ever lived--and a girl. With her wits and will, she's managed to beat the deadly odds time and time again. But when Nan gets stuck in a deadly chimney fire, she fears her time has come. Instead, she wakes to find herself in an abandoned attic. And she is not alone. Huddled in the corner is a mysterious creature--a golem--made from ash and coal. This is the creature that saved her from the fire. Sweep is the story of a girl and her monster. Together, these two outcasts carve out a life together--saving one another in the process.

Clean Sweep by Michael J. Clark Pdf

A reformed smuggler finds himself embroiled in a mind-bending criminal conspiracy in this page-turning debut Pastor Tommy Bosco runs a Winnipeg skid row mission that caters to ex-criminals and ex-addicts trying to make a better life. Sometimes that better life means leaving the city — and the good and bad guys — completely behind.

She’s got plenty of baggage, including the biker’s cryptic ledger that everyone in Winnipeg’s underworld wants to get their hands on. Bosco finds himself a fugitive at the center of a conspiracy that has him staying far away from the cops, the hired hitmen, and even his dear old dad. Navigating through a harsh Prairie winter, Bosco must help his ex escape without having to make an escape himself.

Subsonic Flutter Characteristics of a Variable Sweep Wing and Horizontal Tail Combination by Walter J. Mykytow,Thomas Edwin Noll,Lawrence J. Huttsell,Michael H. Shirk Pdf

The project concerns a subsonic investigation of a new type of flutter phenomenon, not previously critical from a design standpoint, involving elastic modes of the wing, fuselage, and stabilizer combination and also involving aerodynamic interference between the wing and horizontal tail. The effort, consisting of design of a flutter model, vibration and subsonic wind tunnel tests, and flutter analyses, was conducted to determine important controlling flutter parameters, to evaluate the accuracy of analyses for predicting the phenomenon, to establish flutter trends and to define flutter prevention design criteria which could be used in the early design stage to avoid the problem. Some of the important features that were determined are increasing wing sweep can lead to lower flutter speeds; wing bending to fuselage torsion frequency ratios were defined which provide the mechanical coupling essential to produce the phenomenon and minimum flutter speeds as a function of wing sweep angle; vertical separation or dihedral angle can be very influential and beneficial and is more important than longitudinal separation, the effects of which were found to be small to moderate; the effects of compressibility have been shown to be detrimental and decrease the flutter speed, and conclusive proof that the interference aerodynamics between the wind and tail, and particularly, the downwash shed from the wing, is an important and detrimental feature to the phenomenon.

Sweeping Up the Heart by Kevin Henkes Pdf

From two-time Newbery Honor and New York Times–bestselling author Kevin Henkes, this timeless novel about loss, loneliness, and friendship tells the story of the spring break that changes seventh-grader Amelia Albright’s life forever. Amelia Albright dreams about going to Florida for spring break like everyone else in her class, but her father—a cranky and stubborn English professor—has decided Florida is too much adventure. Now Amelia is stuck at home with him and her babysitter, the beloved Mrs. O’Brien. The week ahead promises to be boring, until Amelia meets Casey at her neighborhood art studio. Amelia has never been friends with a boy before, and the experience is both fraught and thrilling. When Casey claims to see the spirit of Amelia’s mother (who died ten years before), the pair embarks on an altogether different journey in their attempt to find her. Using crisp, lyrical, literary writing and moments of humor and truth, award-winning author Kevin Henkes deftly captures how it feels to be almost thirteen. With themes of family, death, grief, creativity, and loyalty, Sweeping Up the Heart is for readers of Kate DiCamillo, Rebecca Stead, Lauren Wolk, Kimberly Brubaker Bradley, and Pam Muñoz Ryan.
