"George Washington''s cows were kept upstairs, And given their own special room. They never were seen by light of day. No matter for what or by whom." These cows are just the beginning of George''s problems. To be sure, his hogs are helpful around the house, but it irks Martha when their parties are better than hers. And then there are the sheep--all of them smarter than Tom Jefferson, with degrees (no to say "sheepskins") to prove it. What''s a Father of his country to do? David Smalll puts a hilariously sticky fingerprint on the well-polished veneer of American history, showing readers what really went on in the home of our first President.

Fenwick buys a new suit which comes to life and starts to take over everything.

"This languid, bluesy novel tells the story of a young baseball star''s emotional collapse after a car accident shatters his career. Elegantly crafted, Small''s first novel is a stunning debut".--Saturday Review.

The Ninja Foodi from Shark Ninja is an incredibly versatile device and the cooking possibilities are endless. Many recipe books already exist for this device but none of them seem to cater for the British, Irish, Australian or European markets... until now that is. The recipes are aimed not at the kitchen gurus or the Ninja experts, rather to the proud new owners of the Foodi. I''ve written the methods out in such a way that no steps are missed out. I don''t use confusing terminology or abbreviations and use my words very carefully. The methods are written for someone who has not had their device for a long time. I only include ingredients that are available to buy from UK supermarkets and every single ingredient has been checked via the Asda and Tesco websites (often in store at Aldi too) to ensure easy sourcing. The recipes are written logically such that they start usually with the preparation steps; namely what needs to be washed, peeled and chopped before any heat is applied to the ingredients. When I need you to boil a kettle, I will tell you five minutes before you need boiling water in the recipe. Recipes include: - Spicy chicken casserole - Sweet and sour chicken - Cottage & Shepherd''s pie - Thai green chicken curry - Beef curry - Irish beef stew - Full English breakfast - Vegetarian Asian noodles with lemongrass - Lancashire veggie hotpot - Toad in the hole with gravy - Cheese & chive scones - Fruit scones - Marble cake - Carrot cake - Leek & potato soup - Sweet potato & onion soup - ... and so many more. Since the device is so versatile BUT is just one device, recipes are split between main courses, main course components, side dishes, soups and desserts, meaning that access to a kitchen is required for many of the recipes. The Author assumes that the user has access to basic kitchen equipment, such as a refrigerator, a sieve or colander, sharp knives, a stove, a baking tin, a frying pan and saucepans, although many of the recipes do not require any further equipment. Many of the recipes found within will be more familiar to the user of this cookbook, but they have been tweaked or reimagined so that they fit to the Ninja Foodi 7-in1 multi-cooker and many recipes will be completely new. Many recipes also include full colour photographs but not every recipe, due to space and page count limitations, which keep the price of this book down. An index of ingredients is also at the end of the book, making it easier to locate recipes based on what''s in your refrigerator. This book is available in printed formats, a colour version with the green cover and a black-and-white version with a brown cover. While the books are identical in terms of content, some users would rather pay more for colour photographs whereas for other users, the price is more important. "I hope you get as much joy from this book as I did putting it together, well, and eating the creations. If you can spare a few minutes, please write a short review so that others know what you like or dislike about the book".

The ultrasonic wave propagation of thick, layered composites containing degraded bonds is investigated. A theoretical one-dimensional model of three attenuative viscoelastic layers containing two imperfect interfaces is introduced. Elastic material properties and measured ''values of ultrasonic phase velocity and attenuation are used to represent E-glass and vinyl ester resin fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) laminate, syntactic foam, and resin putty materials in the model. The ultrasonic phase velocity in all three materials is shown to be essentially constant in the range of 1.0 to 5.0 megahertz (MHz). The attenuation in all three materials is constant or slightly increasing in the range 1.0 to 3.0 MHz. Numerical simulation of the model via the mass- spring-dashpot lattice model reveals the importance of the input signal shape, wave speed, and layer thickness on obtaining non-overlapping, distinct return signals in pulse-echo ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation. The effect of the interface contact quality on the reflection and transmission coefficients of degraded interfaces is observed in both the simulated and theoretical results.

The Ninja Foodi from Shark Ninja is an incredibly versatile device and the cooking possibilities are endless. Many recipe books already exist for this device but none of them seem to cater for the British, Australian or European markets... until now that is. Gone are the 1/2 cup measurements and converting temperatures from Fahrenheit. This book uses British tablespoons, teaspoons, grams and millilitres as well as the celsius scale. The ingredients have all been checked against online supermarkets such as Asda and Tesco, all proved to be available.
