Be My Valentine

Marta Cyrkiel

Julia Walentynowicz nienawidzi walentynek. Po serii miłosnych rozczarowań uważa, że święto zakochanych zamieniło się w spektakl konsumpcjonizmu, a ludzie zapomnieli, co tak naprawdę powinno się liczyć - miłość okazywana każdego dnia, nie tylko raz w roku. Jednak los, wplatając w jej życie ciąg niespodziewanych wydarzeń, stawia na jej drodze kogoś wyjątkowego. Od tego momentu życie Julii nabiera tempa, a codzienność wypełniają przygody i zaskakujące sytuacje, które wystawią jej poglądy na próbę. Czy niezwykłe spotkanie i seria nieoczekiwanych zwrotów akcji przekonają Julię, że walentynki mogą być czymś więcej, niż tylko świętem pełnym kiczu? Pełne ciepła, humoru i niespodziewanych wzruszeń opowiadanie o tym, że czasem to, czego się unika, może przynieść największą radość.

BeagleBone Black Cookbook. Over 60 recipes and solutions for inventors, makers, and budding engineers to create projects using the BeagleBone Black

Charles A. Hamilton, Jason Kridner

There are many single-board controllers and computers such as Arduino, Udoo, or Raspberry Pi, which can be used to create electronic prototypes on circuit boards. However, when it comes to creating more advanced projects, BeagleBone Black provides a sophisticated alternative. Mastering the BeagleBone Black enables you to combine it with sensors and LEDs, add buttons, and marry it to a variety of add-on boards. You can transform this tiny device into the brain for an embedded application or an endless variety of electronic inventions and prototypes.With dozens of how-tos, this book kicks off with the basic steps for setting up and running the BeagleBone Black for the first time, from connecting the necessary hardware and using the command line with Linux commands to installing new software and controlling your system remotely. Following these recipes, more advanced examples take you through scripting, debugging, and working with software source files, eventually working with the Linux kernel. Subsequently, you will learn how to exploit the board's real-time functions. We will then discover exciting methods for using sound and video with the system before marching forward into an exploration of recipes for building Internet of Things projects. Finally, the book finishes with a dramatic arc upward into outer space, when you explore ways to build projects for tracking and monitoring satellites.

BeagleBone Robotic Projects. Create complex and exciting robotic projects with the BeagleBone Blue - Second Edition

Richard Grimmett, Jason Kridner

BeagleBone Blue is effectively a small, light, cheap computer in a similar vein to Raspberry Pi and Arduino. It has all of the extensibility of today’s desktop machines, but without the bulk, expense, or noise. This project guide provides step-by-step instructions that enable anyone to use this new, low-cost platform in some fascinating robotics projects. By the time you are finished, your projects will be able to see, speak, listen, detect their surroundings, and move in a variety of amazing ways.The book begins with unpacking and powering up the components. This includes guidance on what to purchase and how to connect it all successfully, and a primer on programming the BeagleBone Blue. You will add additional software functionality available from the open source community, including making the system see using a webcam, hear using a microphone, and speak using a speaker.You will then learn to use the new hardware capability of the BeagleBone Blue to make your robots move, as well as discover how to add sonar sensors to avoid or find objects. Later, you will learn to remotely control your robot through iOS and Android devices. At the end of this book, you will seehow to integrate all of these functionalities to work together, before developing the most impressive robotics projects: Drone and Submarine.

Beautiful Thorns

Jaymin Eve, Tate James

Znasz to powiedzenie, że gorzej już być nie może? Kłamstwo. Zawsze może być gorzej. I tak właśnie się stało w naszym przypadku. Skoro jednak dotarłaś aż do tego momentu, to znak, że jesteś z nami na dobre i na złe. Weź więc głęboki oddech i przygotuj się na finał... Obiecuję, że będzie warto. Bellerose stawia czoła ostatniej, najbardziej bezlitosnej próbie. Wszystkie tajemnice, intrygi i uczucia, które kłębiły się między nami, zmierzają do punktu kulminacyjnego. Mam dość ciągłego oglądania się przez ramię, mam dość mafii, mediów i własnych słabości. Czas z tym skończyć raz na zawsze. Ostateczne rozgrywki rzadko bywają czyste, ale także wśród cierni może zakwitnąć piękno. Jestem Billie Bellerose, jestem spoiwem tej zwariowanej rodziny. Nawet jeśli przeszłość była naznaczona bólem, przyszłość może stać się przepiękna. Zrobię, co trzeba, byśmy wszyscy jej dożyli! Do zobaczenia na końcu tej rockandrollowej drogi...

Bebok

Aldona Reich

Każdy ma swoje demony. Jedne można oswoić lub uśpić, inne odejdą same, a jeszcze inne trzeba... zabić. Demon, który osiedlił się w niewielkiej miejscowości pod Wrocławiem, zdołał przeciąć ścieżki kilkorga bohaterów. Każdy musiał uporać się z własną przeszłością, stając do konfrontacji z tym, co stawia pod wielkim znakiem zapytania słuszność podejmowanych wyborów.Poszukujący "chwytliwego" tematu pisarz, Tomasz Radwan,przyjeżdża do Zalesina, aby poznać okoliczności zaginięcia i śmierci jedenastoletniej Łucji Warskiej. Tam po raz pierwszy słyszy o beboku, lokalnym demonie, który wedle śląskich wierzeń porywał dzieci. Zagłębiając się w całą sprawę, Radwan powoli odkrywa, że w tej z pozoru niedorzecznej legendzie jest wiele prawdy, a sprowadzony do współczesności pogański Bebok pozwala na uporanie się z innymi demonami - nie tylko tymi, z którymi sam przyjechał do Zalesina, ale także tymi, które tam zastał.

Because of the Dollars

Joseph Conrad

Self-deception regarding his wife, inflicted on the good-natured captain of the ship and the like. the willingness to succumb to base men on the part of the painted woman. It truly demonstrates how even those who find themselves in the most extreme situations of life can find redemption, albeit at a terrible cost. And atonement is a rare thing in Conrad. And just to make sure you understand it, the final image of the captain is someone left alone and hopeless, despite his good deeds.
