Olivia and the Red Box from the Beach by Edwin C. Rivera Pdf
Olivia and the Red Box from the Beach is about a young girl strolling down the beach of her little village and finding a beautiful red box floating in the water. She, being so excited in finding this red box, ran through the village yelling that she had found this box. The village people, upon seeing the red box that Olivia had found, desired to have the box and yelled to Olivia, “Give me the box! Share what’s inside the box with us!” But Olivia was very adamant on not sharing what’s inside the box till she first opens it to see what’s inside. She showed it to her mom, and she was not able to open the box. Being frustrated and not being able to open the box, Mom suggested several people in the village that might be able to help her. All in all, she was not able to open the box until she finally met one person that did open it for her. To Olivia’s surprise, after opening the box, it was something she had never expected. It was empty! The moral of this story is love, and that is what Olivia is supposed to share with everyone else. Now Olivia was very happy to share this love with everyone in the village.
This novel primarily takes place on the paradise island of Ambergris Caye off the coast of Belize in Central America. The Flynn bothers, Matt and Murray, have invented an antigravity device, the Red Box, which makes a host platform weightless. Their first application of the technology is a seaplane called “Baldie” after the American bald eagle. The Red Box is replete with attempts by thieves to steal this toaster-size device and reverse-engineer it to bolster national economies. As a result, many action scenes from Paris to Hong Kong remind the reader of famous car chase scenes. Armed with patents and preliminary approval to operate in American airspace, the Flynns conclude a production agreement with a global transportation company headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany. While the first five Baldies are assembled in Homestead, Florida, so they can fly over the Everglades National Park en route to Belize for flight testing, Baldie 6 rolls off the production line in Vance, Alabama. The Red Box can create a million high-technology jobs within the American transportation systems and even in the space industry. A president running for reelection understands its impact and uses the Baldie to his advantage in a national barnstorming tour and the “1M” campaign. Congress authorizes an annual $1 billion tax-free licensing fee required by the Flynns in hopes of gaining large tax revenues. The final chapter has an American-German team selecting the next applications after the Baldie. The rationale for the selections challenges the reader to draw his or her own conclusions. By the end of the story, the reader realizes that a Red Box, should it ever become a reality, could put a miniature Baldie in every garage.

Mammoth Books presents Lethal Legends by Mark Valentine,Michael Kelly,Simon Kurt Unsworth,Terry Dowling Pdf
THE WOODS - Michael Kelly Michael Kelly reveals "The Woods' was written for an anthology seeking regional horror and ghost stories. I'd just read Hemingway's 'Hills Like White Elephant's'. Now, in no way am I comparing myself to Hemingway but I wanted to write a similarly brief tale, with only two main characters, and where the horror was off-stage. As well, the setting had to be distinctly Canadian. What, I thought, could be more Canadian than the frozen north and allusions to mythical beasts?" MAMI WATA - Simon Kurt Unsworth Unsworth reveals, "When I was first asked to contribute to Exotic Gothic 3 (which was to feature Gothic-influenced stories in non-Gothic environments), I agreed without really thinking about it, and then spent a long time struggling, trying to work out how, precisely, I was going to manage it or quite how to make a start. "I knew what I wanted to do, sort of, but not exactly how to do it, so one day alarmingly close to the deadline I did a fun thing: I freewheeled through Google. Using a small document about Zambian myths and cultures I found online (I set the story in Zambia for no reason other than an old family friend lives there and it seemed exotic in Gothic terms), I used one Zambian word from it as a search term and read what came up, took one intriguing Zambian term from the search results and searched for that, etc, and disappeared into Google's merry depths. "I ended up with an academic paper about a particular myth, a travel blog about a sort of beer made from corn and a weird little 'my God's better than your God' blog by a kid in Africa, and somewhere in the middle of that, the story appeared." THE AXHOLME TOLL - Mark Valentine "In the following story, the book called The MS. in a Red Box really exists," the author reveals. "All of the legends about the Isle, and about Beckett's assassins, are also genuine, except (so far) that of the Toll, and their final place of rest - or unrest." TWO STEPS ALONG THE ROAD - Terry Dowling "Two Steps Along the Road' came out of a conversation with US editor Danel Olson," Dowling explains, "where we discussed me doing a ghost story set in Vietnam for Exotic Gothic 3, and the interesting possibilities it might provide for delivering atmosphere and an interesting perspective on familiar things. "Before I knew it, I was blending two separate elements that were demanding attention: the notion of a root-form behind all hauntings, regardless of what form they took, and the unnerving realization that the eyes of a quite attractive teaching colleague would be truly terrifying to behold if they were set just a tad closer together. "The ideas were intended for very different stories but, as so often happens, they decided they were meant for each other."
This fascinating journey along the River Don invites readers to explore the history and folklore of the one of Britain’s most beautiful and enchanting rivers.
Code-switching – Experimental Answers to Theoretical Questions by Luis López Pdf
This volume compiles eight original chapters dedicated to different topics within bilingual grammar and processing with special focus on code-switching. Three main features unify the contributions to this volume. First, they focus on making a contribution to our understanding of the human language within a coherent theoretical framework; second, they understand that a complete theory of the human language needs to include data from bilinguals’ I-languages; and third, they are committed to obtaining reliable data following experimental protocols.
