The Aurora Cycle 2 Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff AUSTRALIA MAY 2020 Aurora Burning: The Aurora Cycle 2 Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff The ferociously hot sequel to the international bestseller Aurora Rising, which sees the return of Squad 312 in an explosive battle to save the galaxy. By the award-winning authors of the Illuminae Files. Description Our heroes are back. Kind of. First, the bad news: an ancient evil - you know, your standard consume-all-life-in-the-galaxy deal - is about to be unleashed. The good news? Squad 312 is standing by to save the day. They've just got to take care of a few small distractions first. Like the clan of gremps who'd like to rearrange their favourite faces. And the cadre of illegit GIA agents with creepy flowers where their eyes used to be, who'll stop at nothing to get their hands on Auri. Then there's Kal's long-lost sister, who's not exactly happy to see her baby brother, and has a Syldrathi army at her back. With half the known galaxy on their tails, Squad 312 has never felt so wanted. When they learn the Hadfield has been found, it's time to come out of hiding. Two centuries ago the colony ship vanished, leaving Auri as its sole survivor. Now, its black box might be what saves them - but time is short, and if Auri can't learn to master her powers as a Trigger, the squad and all their admirers are going to be deader than the Great Ultrasaur of Abraaxis IV. Shocking revelations, bank heists, mysterious gifts, inappropriately tight bodysuits and an epic firefight will determine the fate of the Aurora Legion's most unforgettable heroes - and maybe the rest of the galaxy as well.

Description The year is 2380, and the graduating cadets of Aurora Academy are being assigned their first missions. Star pupil Tyler Jones is ready to recruit the squad of his dreams, but his own boneheaded heroism sees him stuck with the dregs nobody else in the Academy would touch: A cocky diplomat with a black belt in sarcasm A sociopath scientist with a fondness for shooting her bunkmates A smart-ass tech-whiz with the galaxy's biggest chip on his shoulder An alien warrior with anger management issues A tomboy pilot who's totally not into him, in case you were wondering. And Ty's squad isn't even his biggest problem - that'd be Aurora Jie-Lin O'Malley, the girl he's just rescued from interdimensional space. Trapped in cryo-sleep for two centuries, Auri is a girl out of time and out of her depth. But she could be the catalyst that starts a war millions of years in the making, and Tyler's squad of losers, discipline-cases and misfits might just be the last hope for the entire galaxy.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Elise and the Gold Gloop by S.B. Davies S.B. Davies. At the age of six, my daughter was a good reader for her age, but refused to start reading “proper books” with chapters and no pictures. She was bored with “Horrid Henry” and fairies saving a rainbow yet once more and insisted that she was old enough to read proper books, but every one she tried was “too difficult”. It wasn’t she couldn’t read them, it was the concepts and storylines; they were all designed for nine and ten year olds. There was another problem too. She wanted to read about girls, yet all the books about girls we could find were twee and dull. My daughter is happy to read about a princess, along as she is a Ninja Princess; happy to save rainbows, as long as it involves a good sword fight or perhaps a well-planned heist. After a few months of this, my lovely daughter stopped reading. We tried most of the “first chapter books” that people recommend; all met with disinterest. So I asked her exactly what she wanted in a “proper book”. After much though, she wrote down: “Dragons, princess, zombies, vampires, ghosts, but not spiders and it should be funny and scary and have fighting in it.” We couldn’t find such a book with concepts and vocabulary suitable for a six year old – so I wrote one. I had written novels before, but not a children’s book, so I had help from my daughter to find the right level.

  • Work Underway on New Elite Women's Facilities at Ikon Park.Pdf Pdf 199.59 KB
    Wednesday, 27 January 2021 WORK UNDERWAY ON NEW ELITE WOMEN’S FACILITIES AT IKON PARK Purpose-built AFLW change rooms and an elite indoor training facility will level the playing field for women footballers at Ikon Park, with work underway on the landmark project. On the eve of the 2021 AFLW season, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events Martin Pakula today joined Carlton president Mark LoGiudice, AFLW stars Maddy Prespakis and Tayla Harris and Federal Minister for Superannuation, Financial Services and the Digital Economy Jane Hume at Ikon Park to view progress. Prior to the pandemic, women’s football in Victoria was booming and with the anticipated return of community footy in 2021, that trend is set to continue. The establishment of the AFLW in 2017 was a game-changer, with Ikon Park hosting a sell-out crowd of nearly 25,000 people at the first-ever AFLW match between Carlton and Collingwood. The 2021 AFLW season kicks off tomorrow night at Ikon Park with the Blues again hosting the Magpies. Current match-day facilities are below par and the project will see the demolition of the Pratt Stand and the construction of a match-day pavilion with AFLW-standard change rooms, an elite indoor training facility and better views into the ground from Princes Park. The existing training and administration building will be refurbished and upgraded to provide AFLW and AFL players and staff access to the same facilities and resources, reinforcing a culture of gender equality throughout the club. Lighting will also be upgraded to allow broadcasting of AFLW night matches.

  • Her Game -Synopsis Sheet.Pdf
    Her Game is a series of short stories exploring the experiences of people who have traditionally been excluded from playing Australian football. Through the eyes of players, coaches, presidents, reporters and supporters; it explores how some people experience their gender within AFL culture and how that affects Australia’s national identity. This series was produced for the Community Radio Network and is made possible by the Community Broadcasting Foundation. Her Game was produced by Bethany Atkinson-Quinton at Triple R. #1 Leah Avene Age: 30 Position: Megahertz Player in the Community Cup (VIC) “The principal of the girls school found out that I was playing football, and he published a picture of me in my Megahertz top telling the whole school that I was playing football and he thought that it was really important that, especially the girls at the school knew, that that was something, that someone, a female that they knew really well, was doing, because you need those visible people, you need those examples, so kids know what’s available to them and if they don’t see it, they can’t aspire to be like that, as far as I know, I’m the only mum at school that played football.” #2 Tayla Harris Age: 18 Position: Melbourne Football Club player (VIC), Zilmare Eagles football player (QLD) “Me and Daisy were the first female footballers to go to the Brownlow as footballers so that was good and I thought it was quite important to get it right….It’s hard to watch the guys get drafted and start their lives and have training all day and then go to

  • Bon Dia! Met Wie Schrijf Ik?
    Bon dia! Met wie schrijf ik? Wim Rutgers bron Wim Rutgers, Bon dia! Met wie schrijf ik? Charuba, Oranjestad 1988 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/rutg014bond01_01/colofon.htm © 2007 dbnl / Wim Rutgers II ‘Misschien zullen de kinderen van dit volk eens hun hoofden buigen over de legendes van hun stam...’ (Frank Martinus Arion: Stemmen uit Afrika) Wim Rutgers, Bon dia! Met wie schrijf ik? 4 Ter introductie ‘.... u weet niets van mij, niets, alstublieft, luistert u naar mijn geschiedenis, die ik ga vertellen ....’ Alioum Fantouré: Tussen de keerkringen ‘Zeg, moet je horen ....!’ Iemand vertelt zijn belevenissen aan een al of niet geïnteresseerde luisteraar, die op het verhaal misschien ongelovig reageert - waarop het verhaal nog wat spannender wordt gemaakt; of enthousiast - waarop de verteller zijn geschiedenis nog een beetje aandikt. Maar er wordt geluisterd. En dat merkt de verteller direct aan de reacties. Zo gemakkelijk heeft een schrijver het niet. Die zit eenzaam aan een bureau op een pen te kauwen of naar de schrijfmachine te staren. De auteur weet helemaal niet hoe de eventuele lezer op het verhaal zal reageren. Enthousiast? Zal het verhaal begrepen worden? Een auteur kan ook niets meer corrigeren; zoals hij zijn geschiedenis eenmaal geschreven heeft, zo blijft het er staan. Ook voor lezers die in andere landen en culturen leven of in andere tijden als het verhaal een ‘blijvertje’ is. Een Caraïbische auteur heeft het nog moeilijker, want die schrijft vaak niet alleen voor lezers in eigen tijd en land, maar ook nog voor lezers die ver daarbuiten wonen - in Nederland bijvoorbeeld - en in een andere taal dan die thuis geleerd is.

  • Nachtverhaal : Translating the Narrative Situation, Intertextuality
    Nachtverhaal : Translating the narrative situation, intertextuality and Paul Biegel’s style of writing Ploon Rademaker, 3168611 Master Translation (English) MA Thesis Supervisor: Cees Koster Second reader: Simon Cook July 2011 2 Acknowledgement I would like to take this opportunity to thank my family and friends for supporting me during the Master Translation Studies. It was quite a big step to take after having completed a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature and Culture. I experienced a rough start, but I am glad I kept going to have finally made it here to this point in time. At the end of the second year, I took on an internship at Taalcentrum-VU and learned a whole lot about working in the translation sector. After completing this internship, I took on a temporary job in the cultural sector. The important difference between the internship and the job was the fact that during my internship, I was surrounded by people with a sincere interest in language. Language is where my heart is, and it is the area in which I want to continue developing myself. These past two years have been difficult at times, but the most important lesson is that through these difficulties, I have realised what I want to do. After this ‘small’ break from my studies, I had a difficult time putting my mind back on my thesis subject and writing it again. Many thanks to my parents, close friends and boyfriend who made me remember why I wanted to write my thesis about Paul Biegel’s Nachtverhaal , and encouraged me to pick it up again and go for it.
