Sinossi

For everyone from frequent fliers to aviation geeks, travel buffs to nervous travelers, Captain Doug Morris tells you everything you want (and need!) to know about flight
		 
Captain Doug Morris has been writing for his airline’s in-flight magazine for 24 years and has answered a gamut of questions. This Is Your Captain Speaking will draw from his extensive experience and explain everything you ever wanted to know about airline travel: whether airliners have keys, why the bumps, what aircrew get up to on layovers, what’s the deal with “mile-high memberships,” and how to become a pilot. It also provides entertaining anecdotes from air travel’s unsung heroes — flight attendants. It’s the A to Z of airline travel with a twist of humor. The flight deck door will always be closed, but Doug exposes the unique inner world of aviation to the public.

    Pollinators are among the most vital creatures on Earth, playing a crucial role in the health of ecosystems, food production, and biodiversity. Bees, butterflies, birds, and other pollinators help fertilize plants by transferring pollen, enabling plants to reproduce and produce fruit. Without these remarkable creatures, the world would face a drastic decline in the availability of many foods and flowers, not to mention the overall environmental balance. As pollinators continue to face mounting challenges from habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change, the need to support and protect them has never been more urgent. 
    Pollinator gardens provide a practical and rewarding solution to this pressing issue. By cultivating spaces specifically designed to attract and support bees, butterflies, birds, and other pollinators, gardeners can contribute to the conservation of these essential species. A well-designed pollinator garden doesn’t only benefit the creatures that visit it; it can also enrich the garden itself. These spaces foster a vibrant, diverse environment that promotes soil health, provides a haven for wildlife, and offers an aesthetically pleasing landscape that changes with the seasons. 
    This book is a guide to creating and maintaining pollinator gardens that provide much-needed resources for these important creatures. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced gardener, you’ll find practical tips on choosing the right plants, designing your garden, and understanding the specific needs of different pollinators. We will explore the different types of pollinators—bees, butterflies, birds, and other creatures—and provide insights into

    The sequel nobody wants. After a decade of the Tories, could it get any worse? Spoiler – it does. 
     
    Towards the end of 2021, Britain had been frogmarched into an escalating series of surreal calamities. Brexit was a disaster, the NHS was in crisis, the government was bathed head-to-toe in impropriety, senior Tories were still acting as though the public purse was their personal feed-trough, and the air crackled with anger about PartyGate. All of which led to an inglorious start to 2022: the year the UK saw two monarchs, three prime ministers and four chancellors. 
     
    From Boris Johnson, who crashed our international reputation and handed billions to his mates so they could ineptly fight a pandemic while he stayed at home, shagging and acting as a super-spreader; to Liz Truss, a drive-by prime minister who managed to kill off the queen and crash the economy in a single week. And now we’re led by Rishi Sunak, who doesn’t know how to use a credit card, drives a pretend car, and grinningly promises even more poverty. 
     
    Four Chancellors and a Funeral delivers more of Russell Jones’s signature scathing wit, combining a detailed historical record of 2021 and 2022, with acerbic commentary, all of it leavened by jokes at the seemingly endless maelstrom of failures, nincompoops and hypocrisies.

    "Ever been so hurt that you want to go to one's mama, 
    and ask why she did not beat their butt? 
    Somehow. 
    You thought the relationship was a lasting forever, 
    but it was an artificial, long-term shortcut.  
    You didn't even know what was up. 
    You were just the Bonnie and Clyde... 
    loyal, giving peace, a symbol of good luck. 
    What God has joined together, 
    let no man put asunder. 
    How you let the enemy use you, 
    and put the relationship under? 
    Sex addiction. Infidelity. 
    Lies. Deceit. 
    Actions were supposed to be stronger. 
    The trust is gone, pain exists. 
    You don't want to be in the relationship any longer. 
    What happened to getting on your knees? 
    Praying to God over miseries. 
    Having faith and working into victories. 
    Not living your greatest fantasies? 
    Please. 
    Who's the blame? 
    Depends on how you go about it. 
    The efforts you put in 
    is what you will get out of it. 
    Do not doubt it.  
    With God, 
    all things are possible... 
    fight your way around it. 
    A relationship that God has put together, 
    is a long-term forever. 
    You will know when you've found it." -Queen Pennin ("Color Me in the Lines-A Poetry Collection of God's Markers" 2024) 
    This series reflects the transformation of being a victim, into being a survivor. Then conquering past relationship trauma. 
    Queen Pennin authors this series and revolutionizes artistry by introducing a fusion of rap, poetry, and spoken word. This series aims to encourage and motivate positive transformation through stories of relationship tragedies where self-love emerges as the ultimate triumph.

    The Western Xia Dynasty, founded by the Tangut people, emerged as a powerful and distinct kingdom in northwestern China during the 11th century. Its establishment marked the rise of a unique civilization that balanced influences from the Chinese, Tibetan, and Central Asian cultures while maintaining its own identity. The Tanguts, originally a nomadic group, gradually settled in the Ordos region and later expanded into the Hexi Corridor, an area of strategic importance due to its location along the Silk Road. 
    The dynasty was officially established in 1038 by Li Yuanhao, who declared himself emperor and adopted the title of the Great Xia. Li Yuanhao sought to solidify Tangut sovereignty by breaking free from the dominance of the Song Dynasty. To emphasize independence, he introduced significant reforms, including the creation of the Tangut script, a writing system distinct from Chinese characters, reinforcing cultural identity. Under his rule, Western Xia developed a centralized government, with administrative structures modeled in part after the Song system but adapted to suit Tangut traditions. 
    Expansion and military strength played crucial roles in the rise of the Western Xia. The Tanguts, skilled in cavalry warfare, built a formidable army that enabled them to challenge the Song Dynasty, the Liao Dynasty of the Khitans, and later, the Jin Dynasty of the Jurchens. Frequent conflicts with these neighboring states shaped Western Xia’s military strategies, leading to a highly fortified kingdom capable of defending its territory against multiple threats. While diplomacy was occasionally pursued, warfare was often the means through which the dynasty maintained its influence.

    Grooming is an essential aspect of caring for your cat, extending far beyond aesthetics. It plays a crucial role in maintaining your feline friend's overall health and well-being. While cats are naturally fastidious creatures that often handle much of their grooming on their own, they still rely on you for additional care to ensure they remain healthy, comfortable, and happy. 
    The benefits of grooming your cat are numerous. Regular grooming helps to remove loose hair and reduce shedding, which is especially important for minimizing hairballs—a common issue for many cats. Grooming also allows you to identify potential health problems early, such as skin irritations, parasites, or lumps, which may otherwise go unnoticed. By keeping their coat and skin in good condition, grooming contributes to your cat's comfort and can even improve their mood. 
    Each cat has unique grooming needs based on factors such as their breed, coat length, and age. Long-haired cats, like Persians or Maine Coons, require more frequent brushing to prevent matting and tangling, while short-haired breeds, like American Shorthairs, may need less frequent attention. Senior cats and those with special needs might require gentle handling and extra care to ensure their grooming sessions are stress-free.
