On the island of Cyranessa, the masters of Rathia Fortress train the archon's elite Thorn Guard. Hated by most, but feared by all, their skills are legendary. But when black sorcery is involved, swords aren't the only weapons. How do you defend one's sanity? Talinvar Saledric and his brothers of the sword now face a world where friends are scarce, indeed. Krioth's usurper has unleashed endless war with his armies in the north and now the forbidden ties between the throne and Straiga's witches has been restored. The dead hunt the living like bloodhounds, defying winter's grip, while worse nightmares haunt the peace of those who remain buried. Loyalty is hard won, and betrayal bartered as easily as an apple.Outcasts and fugitives can sometimes offer more than most kings, and though a man's honor and convictions may be all he has left, following any god can be fatal...

Talinvar Saledric is the most gifted swordsman Rathia Fortress has produced in a century. Raised in the tradition of the ancient mariners of Cyranessa, his skills as an elite member of the archon's Thorn Guard quickly gains a reputation on the seas of L'Hur. After his mother dies from a plague that destroys a quarter of the island's populace, Talinvar turns his back on the gods of Cyranessa and devotes his life to serving the archon Dravothis and Rathia Fortress. Joined by his best friend, Chehalis, they complete the arduous and often brutal training of the fortress only to be scourged by Rathia's masters after Chehalis kills a fellow student in an act of revenge. Talinvar survives but Chehalis is forced to pay the ultimate penalty for his crime and as a parting gift he leaves Talinvar an ancient necklace of his forefathers, the symbol of the Discarnate of Orillian, the god of his people. When Phairdrin, viceroy of the enemy nation of Alberane is found hiding in Cyranessa, Talinvar is given the unenviable task of returning the nobleman to his own lands. In an effort to avoid a war, he is joined by fellow guardsmen, Keth, Duartin, Markala, and fortress marksman, Pilum. Little do Talinvar and his friends know, their burden is much more than he appears. Phairdrin is a dangerous, powerful sorcerer and master of every black art. A simple mission turns to tragedy when during their voyage, Phairdrin summons a pair of sea dragons to sink the ship while he escapes. But the Thorn Guard are trained to survive and failure is no option as they are sworn to fulfill their mission. Along the way, Talinvar and his friends are faced with every danger in a darkening world, pursuing an enemy that can only be possessed by pure evil. And can only be stopped by one who is chosen by a higher power; Talinvar, the undefeated blade of Cyranessa.

As MOS devices are scaled to meet increasingly demanding circuit specifications, process variations have a greater effect on the reliability of circuit performance. For this reason, statistical techniques are required to design integrated circuits with maximum yield. Statistical Modeling for Computer-Aided Design of MOS VLSI Circuits describes a statistical circuit simulation and optimization environment for VLSI circuit designers. The first step toward accomplishing statistical circuit design and optimization is the development of an accurate CAD tool capable of performing statistical simulation. This tool must be based on a statistical model which comprehends the effect of device and circuit characteristics, such as device size, bias, and circuit layout, which are under the control of the circuit designer on the variability of circuit performance. The distinctive feature of the CAD tool described in this book is its ability to accurately model and simulate the effect in both intra- and inter-die process variability on analog/digital circuits, accounting for the effects of the aforementioned device and circuit characteristics. Statistical Modeling for Computer-Aided Design of MOS VLSI Circuits serves as an excellent reference for those working in the field, and may be used as the text for an advanced course on the subject.

Black Type Poems is book number four from poet and competitive spoken word artist Christopher Michael. If you liked anything from the first three (Persona Non Grata, Nuclear Orange & DEMIgOD) or had the pleasure of experiencing him live then this collection will surely blow you away. This is what a Slam Poet writes when locked in the house and deprived of a microphone and stage while the world wages battle against global pandemics and partisan politics. When the father forces you to function in the favor he's fixed you in, fantastic fortune follows and falls at your feet. Speak and there will be a sea of similes setting at the shore of your tongue. The almighty mother of life will move mountains of metaphors out of your mouth in moments you don't even know you're prepared for. Christopher Michael Hootie Hooo

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. If God is the same yesterday, today and forever, then God is still the word. Poetry destroys and rebuilds. Poetry burns and soothes. Poetry cuts and heals. Poetry exposes the ugly and makes it a thing of beauty. Poetry makes me right when it forces me to write. Poetry purges all the emotional toxins left behind in my soul by careless humans with no idea the power of the weapons they wield. I have often finished poems astounded that I could have written it, it must be God. Who else but God could spill itself (the word) on paper in such intricate forms. Who else (what else) but God could create a series of sounds with the power to connect and manipulate the emotions of strangers. Poetry builds bridges. It explains the world and our reaction to it. Poetry is love.Poetry is life.Poetry is everything.
