Book excerpt: A sweet romance with a happily ever after! High in the mountains of central Japan, there’s a town that makes it official business to invite in a host of spirits every summer… Helen’s twin sister has drowned. After sixty years of relying on each other, Helen must now learn to not only work through her grief, but to embrace a life without the only person who ever mattered. Fate brings her to Gujo, a secluded Japanese village that’s not only stuck in time, but is reliant on the unpredictable Nagara River, a reminder of Helen’s grief. Between this unhappy circumstance and being completely lost in a culture not her own, she could really use a friend… Enter Kiyoko, the introverted bookstore owner. Kiyoko has not only made peace with her husband’s death a decade ago, but with Gujo, a town she has called home for over thirty years. When Helen and Kiyoko meet, it feels like fate. A fate awash in the tears of grief and the flowing river that won’t let sleeping ghosts go. With the obon spirit season afoot, it’s only a matter of time before the dead begin their meddling and attempt to set these would-be lovebirds on a path they both claim to not need. It’s going to be one Hell of a summer.
Book Synopsis The Complete Ren'Ai Rensai Shorts Collection by : Hildred Billings
Download or read book The Complete Ren'Ai Rensai Shorts Collection written by Hildred Billings and published by Barachou Press. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The original epic lesbian love story is now available in one complete collection! Ten short stories detailing the 20-year relationship of Aiko and Reina. Always dramatic, always hot, and always passionate. This collection includes the following short stories: ROUMAN On the eve of their wedding, Aiko discovers her girlfriend Reina has some second thoughts about marriage, life, and aging. Even after twenty years together, Reina still doesn’t know what she wants from her relationship – can Aiko remind her about the “Rouman”, or romance, that they’ve cultivated and shared over the years? It’s probably going to take all night. MITSUSHIN For their first Valentine’s Day together, Aiko hopes her girlfriend Reina will finally woo her with a little romance. Instead their big date veers off in a strange direction when Reina decides it’s time to initiate Aiko into the wondrous world of “Mitsushin,” or “three hearts” as their foreign friend calls it. Will this inclusion of a third woman obliterate all the romance left, or will Aiko discover a new way to celebrate the love she has for Reina? NANPAKAI As a belated birthday present, Aiko’s girlfriend Reina takes her to the largest lesbian nightclub in town. Rowdy, drunk women aren’t exactly on Aiko’s list of “great birthday gifts” however, until she discovers the club’s dirty little secret – it’s actually a “nanpakai,” or a place for picking up women for some quick, casual fun centered around exhibitionism! CHINSEKI After watching her girlfriend seduce a stranger at a nightclub, Reina finds herself in the same stranger’s hotel room only an hour later. Girlfriend Aiko and her new friend seem ready to go for round two, but there’s one thing holding Reina back: this third wheel is more masculine than she’s comfortable with. SHIMONETA Roped into teaching a “Lesbian Talk” seminar for the local lesbian populace, Reina is convinced it’s going to bomb – even though she is the most talented, experienced, and sexiest woman possible to do the job. Just as she’s getting used to the idea, however, her worst nightmare arrives: her wife, Aiko, coming to taunt her with everything she keeps beneath her clothing. TOKOIRI The big day has finally arrived: after traveling across one ocean and spending half her life savings, Aiko is about to marry Reina, the woman she has loved for over twenty years. The dress is perfect, the December day sunny, and Reina actually showed up, but there’s one thing clawing at Aiko’s nerves like a rabid beast – the “tokoiri,” or consummation of their marriage that is to come that night. JIHAKU A large crowd of spectators await Reina and Aiko at the local cafe, where the “Couples’ Quiz Show” is going on that night. A Newlywed Game-style affair, Reina has only agreed to do it because she knows her wife really wants the prize: a romantic getaway for two. What she didn’t know, however, was that the opposing team would be the one couple she never wanted to go up against. UMIIRO Basking on an Okinawan beach isn’t enough for Aiko, who thinks there should be more interesting things to do on her tropical getaway with girlfriend Reina. YARIKON It’s been over a year since Reina and Aiko last attended a “yarikon,” or a key party hosted by their friends. Reina especially has looked forward to this evening, as it gives her the chance to meet new women for some extra-marital fun. However, fate finds ways to ruin her night by pairing her with one of the only women she swore she would never think of in that way! FURIN Aiko has never had many crushes in her life, but when she does crush, she crushes hard – like for Haruka, the woman who once stole spouse Reina’s heart for a night. Unable to explain her desires for the tomboy, Aiko nevertheless embraces the moment when she is paired with Haruka at a key party event.

Book excerpt: This book provides in-depth coverage of the latest research and development activities concerning innovative wind energy technologies intended to replace fossil fuels on an economical basis. A characteristic feature of the various conversion concepts discussed is the use of tethered flying devices to substantially reduce the material consumption per installed unit and to access wind energy at higher altitudes, where the wind is more consistent. The introductory chapter describes the emergence and economic dimension of airborne wind energy. Focusing on “Fundamentals, Modeling & Simulation”, Part I includes six contributions that describe quasi-steady as well as dynamic models and simulations of airborne wind energy systems or individual components. Shifting the spotlight to “Control, Optimization & Flight State Measurement”, Part II combines one chapter on measurement techniques with five chapters on control of kite and ground stations, and two chapters on optimization. Part III on “Concept Design & Analysis” includes three chapters that present and analyze novel harvesting concepts as well as two chapters on system component design. Part IV, which centers on “Implemented Concepts”, presents five chapters on established system concepts and one chapter about a subsystem for automatic launching and landing of kites. In closing, Part V focuses with four chapters on “Technology Deployment” related to market and financing strategies, as well as on regulation and the environment. The book builds on the success of the first volume “Airborne Wind Energy” (Springer, 2013), and offers a self-contained reference guide for researchers, scientists, professionals and students. The respective chapters were contributed by a broad variety of authors: academics, practicing engineers and inventors, all of whom are experts in their respective fields.

Download or read book Dumb Energy written by Norman Rogers and published by . This book was released on 2018-07-13 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renewable energy - wind and solar - is a con game. The people we thought were the good guys - environmentalists - are up to their necks in dirty tricks. The billions of dollars spent on electricity every year are being used to enrich a gaggle of con men - politicians, environmentalists and the purveyors of renewable energy. Extensive lobbying and propaganda has convinced the public that it is a good idea to spend billions on dumb wind and solar energy. Dumb energy can't be counted on because it comes and goes with the wind and clouds. Dumb energy is subsidized, overtly and sneakily. Dumb energy is financed by taxes and bigger electric bills.We have been sold the idea that cheap energy can be extracted from sunshine and wind. Energy can be extracted, but it is not cheap. Wind and solar energy are not cheap and have to be backed up by traditional electric generating plants, greatly increasing the cost. The facts and figures are in this book, in an easily-understood format.Wind and solar are often sold as a way to reduce CO2 emissions and prevent climate change. But there are more effective and less expensive ways of reducing CO2 emissions than wind and solar.We all wish for miracles and want to believe in miracles. But wind and solar are dirty tricks, not miracles.
