From rising picture book star Andrew Arnold comes I Have a Question, a book for anyone who’s ever felt too shy, too afraid, or too silly to raise their hand and ask a question. For Stevie, speaking up in class can be scary. So, when Ms. Gail asks, “Are there any questions?” Stevie looks around the classroom, hoping someone will raise their hand. But no one does. No one has a single question. Except Stevie. “I can’t ask, can I? If I do, I know just what will happen,” Stevie thinks, beginning a journey of worried imagination. Everyone will certainly laugh, they''ll think the question is silly, they''ll think Stevie is silly. But Stevie has to know. Stevie has to ask. Written with terrific humor, empathy, and tenderness, author-illustrator Andrew Arnold''s I Have a Question is wonderfully funny and mightily empowering--inspiring anyone who has ever felt too shy, too silly or too afraid to raise their hand.

What''s the Matter Marlo? is a picture book about best friends that highlights empathy, as well as anger and sadness, and reminds us that these aren''t feelings to run away from, but instead to help each other through. Marlo and Coco are best friends. They do everything together—they read together, laugh together, and play games together. After all, they’re best friends. And that’s what best friends do.

Coco is worried about her friend, but then she remembers she can always find Marlo. In this charming, thoughtful picture book, author-illustrator Andrew Arnold explores empathy and sadness, and how friends can help each other navigate big emotions. Because that’s what best friends do.

Atrial fibrillation is the most common heart arrhythmia of clinical significance. Internal cardioversion can be used to restore sinus rhythm; however, the amount of delivered energy elicits intolerable pain. Lowering delivered energy could make implantable cardioverters a promising treatment option. This study simulated cardioversion shocks in a model of the human heart using finite element analysis to determine effects of different electrode placements on defibrillation threshold (DFT) and esophageal electric field (EEF) near the left atrium. Ten right atrial to coronary sinus electrode placements were tested. Small shifts in electrode placements changed DFT by up to 42%, indicating electrode position is an important factor in lowering DFT. A relationship was not discovered between EEF and DFT. If a relationship can be discovered between an alternate EEF or other measure and DFT, electrode placements could be optimized on a patient-specific basis to lower delivered energy to painless or tolerable levels. .

Carshalton in Surrey was deeply affected by the First World War: over 1,900 local men enlisted to fight. Of those men, 243 lost their lives and are commemorated on the war memorial. As we find ourselves commemorating the centenary of the war, it is more important than ever that these men are not forgotten. Drawing on over six years of research, this book brings together the stories of the lives – and deaths – of these men. Utilising a wide variety of sources and complemented by many previously unseen photographs, their stories are told here, from the fourteen sets of brothers who were killed, to the devastating effect of the Somme campaign in which nineteen local men lost their lives on the opening day alone.

And Adventures in Cartooning supplies just that--Publisher description.

China''s increasing influence has surpassed that of an emerging power and now directly confronts the United States'' (U.S.) interests within the Pacific and throughout the world. The People''s Republic of China (PRC) ascendancy as a world power will be the greatest strategic challenge that faces the United States over the next century. Historically a major land power, China has embarked on a massive build-up of naval forces to counter U.S. maritime power in the region, provide security for her national economic interests, and demonstrate her political power throughout the region and the world. This naval expansion appears to go beyond simply challenging U.S. maritime capability; rather, this increase may be part of a complex plan of military expansion, economic development, and political hegemony. While China''s rise to superpower status presents a broad range of national and international challenges and opportunities, a key insight into Sino ambitions may be obtained through careful analysis of the People''s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN). These objectives have strategic consequences for the U.S., and America''s response to these challenges will affect this nation''s ability to compete economically, influence the region politically, and if necessary, respond militarily.
