The Nimble Warrior

This is a snapshot of my story and why I’m here today serving my veteran and first-responder community to the best of my ability with all the knowledge I’ve acquired over a fruitful yet painful career in the Canadian Infantry. I proudly served my country during the Afghan War on Operation Athena between November 2010 and July 2011. During that deployment, my back herniated, and my whole life changed. Why does this matter? It led me down a course of self-study and reflection, and I realized I had to figure out why I got injured in order to be able to fix myself. Helping to prevent injury or help rehab a fellow warrior is deeply important to me. This is why this book exists. In this book, I’ve compiled some of the best mobility exercises that I used to get myself out of my crippled state in my bed to being able to compete in the CrossFit Open, Spartan Races, and triathlons. I give full credit to the mobility god, Kelly Starrett of Mobility WOD and his incredible book, The Supple Leopard. If you find this book informative and helpful, then I highly recommend that you get a copy of his book because it’s a lifesaver.

Two years have passed since Greenwick woke up with no memory of his past. Alongside his guardian bear Moon, his life has been difficult - being cursed with deadly voodoo and dragged into a world-threatening conflict by the dreadful Yewki. Since thwarting evil to the best of their abilities, Wick and Moon’s new life was granted to them by the Wizard Seffry and the fierce archer Lumni, and they've lived together out of harm’s way ever since. But evil doesn't sleep, and after an old friend returns to tell them that the fate he’d been told to disregard is in fact crucial to the next step in the mad Warlock Yewnin’s plans. There is more than one dangerous relic that Yewki’s brother intends to use, and retrieving said device will not only force Wick to don burdens he never asked for, but also bring newcomers from both sides into the ever-worsening fray. Trials Of Impending Night is the next chapter in Greenwick’s story of self-discovery. Kingdoms will fall, morals will be questioned, and death will come in abundance. And in the end, wills are brought to their breaking points, as the world prepares to change forever at the hands of hellish entities.

This story of Hachee, a mythical Seminole Indian warrior during the American Indian Wars, is told with authenticity. The historical characters, dates and localities are accurate. The other characters are a figment of my imagination. The Indian Wars, arguable the most sordid fragment of our history, caused the Indian nation to hate and mistrust the white man for generations to come. Hachee is orphaned at an early age with the murder of his parents by Union soldiers, and his hate for soldiers never abates. He is a victim of the era—a product of the times. In spite of the hindrance of his circumstances, he develops an enviable character. Hachee’s adventure takes him through the Everglades of Florida, the Florida Keys, and ends at Charleston South Carolina near Fort Sumpter just as the first cannons were fired at the beginning of the Civil War. In his attempt to find freedom, he survived a hurricane, marriage, produced a son, endured prison, discovered a treasure and fought with wreckers. All chapters contain historical events, including stories about Major Langhorn Dade, Chief Osceola, Chief Chekika, General Doubleday, Dr. Henry Perrine, Jacob Houseman, and the pirate Don Pedro Gilbert (Blackbeard).

An unprecedented look into the basic physics, chemistry, and technology behind the LCD Most notably used for computer screens, televisions, and mobile phones, LCDs (liquid crystal displays) are a pervasive and increasingly indispensable part of our lives. Providing both an historical and a business-minded context, this extensive resource describes the unique scientific and engineering techniques used to create these beautiful, clever, and eminently useful devices. In this book, the history of the science and technology behind the LCD is described in a prelude to the development of the device, presenting a rational development theme and pinpointing innovations. The book begins with Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism, and the ultimately profound realization that light is an electromagnetic wave and an electromagnetic wave is light. The power of mathematical physics thus was brought to bear upon the study of light, and particularly the polarization of light by material bodies, including liquid crystals. After a brief historical description of polarization, a physical interpretation provides substance to the mathematical concepts. Subsequent chapters cover: Thermodynamics for liquid crystals The Maier-Saupe mean field, phenomenological, static continuum, and dynamic continuum theories The transistor and integrated circuit Glass, panels, and modules The calculus of variations The active matrix Semiconductor fabrication The global LCD business Additionally, the book illustrates how mathematics, physics, and chemistry are put to practical use in the LCDs we use every day. By describing the science from an historical perspective and in practical terms in the context of a device very familiar to readers, the book presents an engaging and unique view of the technology for everyone from science students to engineers, product designers, and indeed anyone curious about LCDs. Series Editor: Anthony C. Lowe, The Lambent Consultancy, Braishfield, UK The Society for Information Display (SID) is an international society, which has the aim of encouraging the development of all aspects of the field of information display. Complementary to the aims of the society, the Wiley-SID series is intended to explain the latest developments in information display technology at a professional level. The broad scope of the series addresses all facets of information displays from technical aspects through systems and prototypes to standards and ergonomics.
