Wrapping up loose ends and moving forward.Book 3 in 18 parts, By FinalStand. Listen to the ► Podcast at Explicit Novels.Love is like a crossbow quiver. You only have so many bolts to shoot before it runs outThere was a long pause. Pamela took another long breath then an impish grin came to her lips."With your luck you'll get those, then end up in the Artic," she scoffed."Not the Antarctic? I've got a soft spot in my dreams for penguins.""Nope. You get to be chased by polar bears," she nudged me. I nudged her back playfully. She gave me a Charlie horse."Ow!" I yipped. The two SD chicks from the front of the plane looked back our way. I didn't care about their misconceptions. My muscles needed some self-massages."I was pretty scared," I whispered to Pamela."Good for you. You were also pretty lucky and I'm sure pretty pissed with your 'Albanian' attackers," she replied quietly. "I missed you too."I liked the way she read my mind about that. I would have liked it some more if I hadn't glanced to my other side, then fallen straight to sleep.{1 pm, Monday, August 25th ~ 14 Days to go}On Tuesday night, Aya got one of her wishes fulfilled ~ sorta. I slept in Caitlyn Ruger's bed and I wasn't alone. The Sandman had dropped a Scottish sand trap sized load of sand on me and there was more than enough spillover to flatten little Aya too. Because I lived among Amazons, Caitlyn woke me up at 5:45 in the A M and only so much lollygagging was allowed.Aya got to sleep for fifteen whole minutes more than I did. She hugged me and kissed my cheek (which amused her three Fatal Squirt compatriots to no end) while I stuffed away my breakfast. Desiree showed up to take me to work minutes later. While Aya showed off her battle scar to the pre-caste Amazons and her Aunt D. (they had not been awake when we showed up the previous evening), I was chided for being late for weapons practice.Yes. Life and death battle successes meant nothing to the Amazons. If you had a spare moment you had better be training, or working out your mind and/or body. We had no 'weekends', though we did get an quarter day off in celebration for the religious festivals based on the sacred days of the various matron Goddesses. A full day off didn't happen.7:00 AM saw me with the intern group, just as if nothing had happened to change our relationship over the past two months. Oh, we were different. They teased me about my sunburn and wanted to see my latest scars. I couldn't work with Buffy anymore, since I was her spiritual leader. Due to my 'high risk' status, Desiree was the only other Amazon Katrina trusted me with, so I got to get beaten at her hands for the last three days of the week.To be fair, I teased Desiree incessantly. I made her smile when she thought I was doubled over in pain on multiple occasions. Beyond that seven-to-five schedule, I exercised after work until six and then managed to bike home in a manner that avoided the paparazzi.I was easy to track outside of the building by the members of the press (who thought I was still somehow newsworthy) and despite my persistent desire to not talk to any of them. Felix had 'vanished', so I was the only man left. What had happened to him? Katrina allowed me to take a glance. He was at an Epona Wyoming freehold training for the Great Hunt and reveling in his 'lone man in a household of twenty-two single women' status.Unlike the three other members of our 'first class', Felix got to choose his re-location location and communicated with me daily because he wanted us to create a battle plan for the upcoming Hunt. It was official; it was going to be a two man vs. thirty Amazons affair and there was no rule that we couldn't work together though only two Amazons could win by capturing us and holding onto us until sunset on Sunday, September 14th.No one except Krasimira, the Keeper of Records, knew what terrain we would be hunted on so we could expect anything from swamps to mountain ranges. The Amazons were in the same boat. Already the House heads had volunteered one member for the Hunt. The ancestors would be consulted for the half who would actually participate. Krasimira had also added her own twists.House Ishara couldn't compete because technically, I was already their participant. With 52 houses halved, that equaled 26. The final four? Runners. If a runner won, the Keeper would consult the ancestors to see which house they would automatically be inducted into. Eight runners were nominated by the department heads and four of those would be chosen by the Augurs as well.In a normal organization it would have been thought that Krasimira was abusing her station since there was no High Priestess to oppose her decisions. Not in the Amazons. No. She consulted the Augurs and the Augurs worked the will of the Ancestors and that was that. No Augur would lie about the sacred communications imparted to them. That was inconceivable sacrilege.What that did mean was that at sunset on Thursday, September 11th, Felix and I would be inserted with a knife, map and clothing into the hunting zone. When the sun rose on Friday morning, the thirty Amazons would be put into the zone. No Amazon could attack another unless they, or their targets, 'possessed' a man. They could team up but only two could win. It was promising to be a great 'get to know your buddies at work' moment for all of us,What was Felix getting out of this besides his freedom? (His freedom was no longer in danger. House Epona would protect him.) No, for Felix, if he survived free until the sun set on Sunday, he would become a Runner. If he lost, he would have to spend another year as an intern. This convinced me that Felix was totally dedicated to avoiding capture. I was good with that.Meanwhile for me, it was Brooke Wednesday night, Oneida on Thursday and Timothy and Odette going clubbing with me on Friday night. Saturday was my first House Ishara group activity. We gathered in the early morning at Doebridge, me with a hangover and Buffy giving me crap at every opportunity. Fortunately the rest of my 'sisters' treated me with a great deal more reverence.Now they all knew about my Summer Camp role, Romania and my kidnapping. Even in their 'man-hating' ideology, I was the exception to the rule ~ I was reliable, dedicated, smart, lethal and worthy of their trust and respect. On the council front, Buffy hinted to me that there was a way around the deadlock for who would be foisted onto the Regency Triumvirate, but she refused to tell me what it was. That was a cause for concern.Sunday, I worked with JIKIT, did some Amazon diplomatic stuff and discovered Desiree was my new bodyguard. Katrina thought a full SD team would be cumbersome and my best bet was to remain unconventional and mobile. I agreed because it allowed me to play the field a little more. Speaking of playing the field,This bright Monday afternoon, I was standing in a hangar at Stewart International Airport waiting on my fiancée, Hana Sulkanen. She had flown from Tibet to London with the Dali Lama. That exalted individual had passed on the mantle of national leadership to the Tibetan Constitutional Committee and left the country with the stern decision that the country would move forward toward democracy and not backwards toward theocracy.Now he was playing the role of goodwill ambassador, encouraging the Tibetan Diaspora to spend a few months to a year back in their homeland to help rebuild and teach. He also was rallying support for Tibetan recognition and financial support. Already the UN had voted to send a small international group to establish border security against both the Khanate and the PRC.With the PRC treaty-obliged by the ceasefire to not oppose Tibetan freedom, the UN acted rapidly. The UN Tibet Force(UNTFOR) combat elements consisted of the UK (+ Gurkha), Chilean, French (+ French Foreign Legion), Germany, India, Italy, Romania, Spanish and Thailand each sending one battalion each. Algeria, Denmark, Chile, the Netherlands, Bulgaria, Canada, Cameroon, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Brazil agreed to make smaller contributions. The USAF would supply a serious level of logistics support for the mission.The UN also created the UN Tibetan Training Force (UNTTFOR) which provided a structure for giving access by Tibetan forces to German, Italian, Chilean and Romanian bases to train to E U standards over a five month period. The Khanate provided gobs of captured Chinese hardware to the creation of a tiny Tibetan Armed Forces, easing worries about adequately equipping the troops once they were trained.The Dali Lama was simultaneously arriving at JFK to public fanfare in order to thank the UN personally on behalf of the nation he loved. Hana was able to finally shed the limelight and was coming into a secure National Guard facility to finally take a step back to a 'normal' lifestyle. The last bit of oddity: the hangars used by the Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 452 of the Marine Corps Reserve was courtesy of JIKIT. No press was allowed, or expected.It was an odd grouping of us. Jormo Sulkanen (Hana's father), his chauffeur and Hana's daughter Annela were in one car. Hana was traveling with Libra and Ms. Meacham, so they would need the limo he came in. My appearance was a simple moment for us to touch base in person, as opposed to over the internet, or mobile phone. The third group waiting was Sten Phillip M nnik (her ex-husband) and two unnamed associates.Sten was being a total jerk, which may have been due to me calling him Philip when we first met. Philip wasn't 'ethnic' enough for him, so he never used it. Because he hated it, Brennan (Hana's deceased step-brother) had used it constantly. I had overheard it and thus screwed up our first meeting. But Sten's current blistering hatred had two positive side effects: Jormo came over and stood by me, a suggestion of solidarity I hadn't expected, and since we were standing next to each other, we finally began the dialog that we needed if Hana was going to be family to both of us.We chatted about the thing that mattered most ~ Hana. He asked me if I had really hired a team of assassins to protect her, so I told him a little bit about the Ghost Tigers. He talked about how proud she was to be bringing peace to a suffering planet and I agreed that she looked spectacular doing so.Some things remained the same; I had set in motion the death of his youngest son who had paraded a raped lady in front of me. A bunch of other dilettantes had perished as well. Balancing that was the joy I brought to the child closest to his heart, his adopted daughter Hana. I also had proved to be my own brand of eccentric knight in tarnished armor. I meant well, and in Jormo's book that meant something.He also told me he would strangle me with my own intestines if I broke her heart. I looked him straight in the face and asked him how he felt about open marriages. He hit me. To be fair, I let him hit me. He didn't try to do me serious harm."Don't be an asshole," he grumbled."I'm not sure I know how?" I shrugged. I got another hard stare."She loves you," he said with surprising tenderness."I would rather face that typhoon again than break her heart. The thought of that scares me because I've never been all that good at romance," I confessed."That wasn't what I expected you to say," he harrumphed. "I recall those two ladies I first saw you with. Libra Chalmers and,""Brooke Lee," I said."Yes, her. Are you staying loyal?""She has never asked more than she thinks my current level of maturity can hope to achieve." He looked at me. "I'm discrete and mindful of her sensitivities.""You aren't trying to befriend me," he noted."I don't feel it is right to expect you to like me. I think we both know I'm supposed to be nice to you and you aren't going punch me again. I believe Hana would see thru any deception on our part."I paused. "I wouldn't mind us getting along. I'll try not to piss you off because that would be rude to you and cruel to her," I continued. "I'll never ask you to forgive me and I'll never feel like what I did was inherently unjustified. I am sorry that I caused you pain because I think you are a hard, courageous man, and she loves you.""That's her plane," he stated."Thank God," I muttered. And thank you Ishara. I was starting to blather. We remained thankfully silent until the plane had pulled into the hangar and the people started to deplane. The first out was a young woman with dark blonde hair and hunters glasses.No one else appeared until she had reached the bottom of the stairs and continued to look about for a moment. Hana came next, smiling at me, then her eyes were following Jormo as he moved to the car to retrieve little Annela. Libra followed with Ms. Meacham on her heels. Libra still wasn't used to playing the second fiddle/personal assistant. A short Mongolian fireplug of a man was the last passenger down the stairs. He looked like, a wolverine with his feral, primordial energy and general hostility.I imagined the girl was his apprentice and he was the prime assassin. That was how the Ghost Tigers operated. They were doing me a deep personal favor by putting aside their normal role as hunters to take up body-guarding duties. According to Addison, they had also managed to get their fair share of killing people of various persuasions. Not only had the Seven Pillars tried to take her out more than once, Chinese Intelligence and some criminal cartels had taken an active interest in her too.The young woman scanned from me to Desiree, then to Sten. She had a good eye for threat assessment. Jormo was partially concealed, but would rather die than put Hana at risk. I was the ally of the 9 Clans, and she probably thought she could take me in a quick-draw contest. Desiree? She left Desiree for her mentor to worry about."Ms. Sulkanen?" Sten's closer minion walked her way. The bodyguards got in the way instinctively. The man reached into his coat and nearly died. The women did a palm strike to his windpipe then grabbed his tie, yanking him to the hard concrete floor of the hangar.(Russian) "He has a piece of paper," she stated in a detached manner"Sten, what is the meaning of this?" Hana worried. I moved toward the woman.(Russian) "I am Cáel Nyilas. Let me help."She did more than that. She retreated from the downed man and put her body between Hana and Sten.I was schooled enough now to realize that was the deception. I hadn't seen the older man draw a gun but I knew he now had one out. It was down by his side and he was using his body to shield it from view."Are these the kind of people you want around our daughter," Sten asked haughtily. I had an inkling suspicion. I wasn't alone.Desiree pushed past me and attended to the downed man. She had him standing, patted him on the back and frisked all inside ten seconds."He's a process server," she commented to the group."What he is here to do is serve you with papers, Hana," Sten grew angrier. "You are an unfit mother and have developed an unsafe environment for her to grow up in.""What?" Hana growled. "You don't like the fact that I've finally moved on and found someone new. You don't care a damn thing about our daughter.""We will let a judge decide that. Right now I have an order of detention for Annela," he grinned wickedly."Ms. Sulkanen," the second of Sten's minions step forward more cautiously, "the Family Court in the State of New York has,"I laughed."Oh," Desiree looked my way then shared a sliver of a smile with me."There is nothing laughable, I assure you," the lawyer snapped."Really, what's your name?" I asked."Mr. Dornier, not that,""Where are we?""What does that matter?" then, "New York State.""Incorrect Dornier. You are on a Marine Corps base, dumbass. Look around you," I smirked."So? What does that mean?" Sten harangued us."This is federal property," I explained as I strode toward his car."Hey, what are you doing, I'm talking to you," Sten pursued me."Excuse me," I grinned. I flipped out my Amazon Honor Blade and slashed one of his tires."What?""Go for it," Hana simmered. "Touch Cáel and he will defend himself.""He has a knife," he countered. He didn't touch me. A second tire began to deflate. "That's assault with a deadly weapon.""It would be if he turned to face you, or anyone else," Desiree had her 'bored ~ don't press me' voice. "Right now he's being a vandal." She put her hand on the process server's shoulder and shoved him back toward Sten and Dornier. "You should know your jurisdictions, asshole," she told him."Hana, I will drive back with Cáel," Libra announced loudly. That was a cue for Hana to shoot me an apologetic look, which was odd, considering that even knowing me was putting her child custody at risk. It took me a second to realize what a bastard Sten could be. I also doubted he had three spare tires. I left one untouched as I headed for my car."Hana, I'll catch up with you after you talk with your lawyers," I called out. It was infuriating for me that this was her reception home. Sten had better be thanking his lucky stars we weren't alone or I would have pummeled his ass, and given him the nuclear wedgy of all times, jackalope."Let's go home," Libra tapped my arm. Desiree was watching Jormo's limo speed away. She didn't dawdle. The Marines would want their hangar back ASAP. We'd let them decide if they wanted to help Sten, or not. Desiree tossed me the keys. That was her way of telling me I need to blow of some steam, and not by getting frolic-ee with Libra on the hour long commute home.{11 pm, Monday, August 25th ~ 14 Days to go}{Late that night with Hana}"So, who was the guy who gave you this?" I looked over at Hana while running my hand over the silk scarf some lama in Lhasa had given her to give to me ~ a 'Thank You' gift for the liberation of his homeland and the aid package heading his peoples' way."I never got his name, but my translator said he had traveled for three days straight to be there for the celebration," she smiled warmly.I picked up my second gift and began to play with it. The object was a fascinating toy, all the more so because it was more than a child's plaything. It was a simple prayer wheel. I put the handle between my two palms and rubbed them back and forth, causing the two balls to beat against the drum heads."I think you find that thing more interesting than you do me," Hana pouted."Oh no you don't," I pounced on her. With one hand I tickled her while I placed my Tibetan gift aside. I didn't want us rolling over on it as we frolicked naked on her queen-sized bed. "You were a happy little camper ten minutes ago and you certainly drove your vigor home with this grand Lothario.""Eek!" she playfully tried to bat my hand aside. She began giggling hysterically.Even when I pulled away so that she could breathe, she kept snickering."What?" I worried. I had been ramping us up for a second round of sex. Round one had been 'comfort' sex, helping her compartmentalize her feelings for that bastard of an ex-husband and the threat he posed to her custodianship of her daughter, Annela.Those were emotions she'd deal with later. Fretting about them tonight, her first night back in the States, was counter-productive. She knew that, which was why she'd accepted my dinner invitation. We had now been seen in public together for the first time since she became famous; afterwards we had traveled back to her place. How serious was I about cheering her up? I'd brought a spare suit, biking clothes and my bike. I was planning to spend the night and make my way to work my usual way come sunrise."I," she gasped, "asked Libra how you "compared" in her experience, which seems to be extensive, as a lover on the way over. And after several, very long, I must say, seconds of introspection, she told me you were indescribable and incomparable. I've been trying to put my thoughts together since Rome and, why are you scowling?""That was rude of you two," I now play-pouted. "I like to think I'm 'thunderous', though 'stunning' will do in a pinch."Hana helpfully pinched me. "Ow!" I squalled. And back to tickling I went. I quickly showed her my 'sheet-fu' was superior to hers, which meant I tangled her up in her sheets before she realized she was helpless before me. Or so I bragged. Hana played helpless well."Oh please, Mr. World-Conquering Wombat," she pleaded. Wombat?"Wombat?" I questioned her. "How have I become an irascible furry marsupial?""Well Honey, you need a shave," she teased me. "You are a little furry.""Romantically that is called a five o'clock shadow," I protested."It scratches my thighs," she murmured.I had a remedy for that. Sliding down to her hip, I turned my palms toward me, interlaced my fingers and positioned my thumbs pointing up. My chin rested on my fingers and the thumbs covered the sides, so when I stuck my tongue into the three-sided void created, my hands, but none of my scruffiness, touched her intimate flesh. Once I had this technique in place, I rolled over her thigh and got to work."I find," she gasped, "that you have the answer to that conundrum down pat. It makes me, ah, think I'm not your, ah, first girl." My dedication to my erotic task (and the carnal reward that waited) kept me from responding. Besides, my upper lip was busy rolling back and forth over her clitoris. There I let the bristles of my oncoming moustache teasingly tickle her. I was pleased when the pleasure I caused quieted her and she settled down to running her fingers across my crown as she ramped herself up toward a climax. 'Not my first girl' indeed.Forty-five minutes later, I was coming back to her room from the kitchen with a glass of tomato juice for her and rice wine for me (she was out of beer). I heard a noise from Annela's room, so I deviated to make sure she was okay. I was in boxers, not totally naked. Annela was out like a light, caught up in some sort of childish dream. By the cherubic grin on her face, she was having a good one.She was another delicate female issue in my life. I had made her existence harder by just being me. Hana let me know that nothing 'bad' had better happen to her ex-husband, Sten. I couldn't beat him up, threaten him, or sic any of my Amazons on him. Stupidly, I had asked if using the CIA was okay. She'd banned all of JIKIT intervening as well, negating the use of the best pest removal people on the planet, the 9 Clans."You are going to have to get used to children making sounds while they sleep," Hana surprised me. "You'll learn to tell the dreams from the nightmare.""In spades, I'm going to have to learn that in spades," I nodded.{4 pm, Tuesday, August 26th ~ 13 Days to go}My schedule had remained steady. I had firearms practice at 6 am every morning, was in Katrina's office by 7 and working my cue by 7:15. According to my regular morning briefings, I continued to be a menace to the foundations of freedom, civilization and the terrestrial biosphere. It was wonderful to stand there side by side with my fellow New Hires.At lunch, around 11 o'clock, I had a brief get together with the other members of the Amazon diplomatic corps since I was still Chief Diplomat of the Host ~ we were a small unit. Daphne, who now worked with JIKIT, would give me a brief briefing on what the 'office' was up to in my name. I gladly kept my distance from their regularly scheduled mayhem. The truce in China didn't stop the Secret War from raging on and on.My three o'clock knife training with Pamela was slowly evolving into a greater study of human fighting philosophy and anatomy. I still studied the techniques of a larger single bladed hunting knife as well as the hilt-less, double bladed Amazon Honor Blade. Pamela promised me she'd start teaching me how to do the 'long-distance' and 'short'/snap throw for the blades. She made it look so easy.Pamela also began educating me on the basics and basis of the Amazon personal hand-to-hand fighting style. The eight points of emphasis in Amazon combat were: the finger, fist, elbow, shoulder, foot, heel, knee and hip. It encouraged channeling both your energies and the energy of your opponents by using fluid blows and throws. It also worked well with the close-in knife fighting Pamela was teaching me. Working with her once more did her as much good as me. We had come to feed off one another's moods, which was a good thing.Tuesday, walking to the elevator at the end of the session, the door opened to reveal Rachel talking to an SD chick I barely knew, Meridian."Oh, it is great to see you, Rachel," I enthusiastically stated. Her hesitation as she replied worried me."It is great to see you too, Cael Wakko Ishara," she responded softly, compassionately."Ladies, can you spare Rachel and I some private time," I asked Meridian and Pamela."Come on," Pamela addressed the SD Amazon, "we have tons of nothing to talk about.""As you wish, Ishara," Meridian answered. She looked to Rachel. She stepped off the elevator as Pamela stepped on. Away they went."I heard you were back in New York," I told her."I heard you were off of JIKIT for the time being.""I was running on fumes psychologically and my body wasn't too much better. Javiera gave me a week off. I go back Thursday.""That was the right move, Cáel," she said. "You've been stuck sweating both the small stuff and being caught up in the big picture. That is a humongous burden to bear for someone with your training and background.""I know, I'm not ready for where my life has taken me.""No one is, Cáel. You have training that has let you get this far when most of us would be lost. You carry that weight, plus you've had to work the physical side of the equation. I get to focus on you. You've had to focus on all of us."Rachel was being both honest and kind. I felt a sudden renewed kinship with my primary guardian."Thanks for that, Rachel, can I tell you a secret? Something you can't tell another soul. Something I've never told another living person?" I could tell Rachel. I couldn't tell Katrina because she was so close to Hayden. Pamela, Pamela had already prepared herself for a miserable afterlife and wouldn't have connected with my pain for another.Since she was my 'sister' in Ishara, I couldn't really confide in Buffy, but only an Amazon would understand my thoughts on the matter. It had to be Rachel."I cannot betray the Host, but you know that. What is it you wish to share?""Hayden lived life as an Anahit, yet lives forever in the Halls of the Isharans." Since that was now well known, Rachel knew that couldn't be the secret."When I was trying to induct her, Dot Ishara refused her entry. I thought she was challenging me and I was right.""I recall that she wouldn't accept Hayden, even though her death was righteous in the name of the Host. Has no one ever asked you what changed Ishara's mind? Not Buffy, or Helena?""Neither one ever asked. I think it was because they sensed I didn't want to talk about it, nor insult them by not opening up. Ishara refused Hayden because of me. I was refusing to accept my place in the Host. I kept playing, pretending, I was not really one of you. I kept thinking I could divorce myself from the evil we did because I was special.""But you weren't special in the way I think you are using the word," she nodded. "You were chosen by the Ancestors to be one of us, man, or not.""Yeah. I stupidly put my life on the line because I wanted to be the 'good guy'. I've always wanted to be the 'good guy', even when I hurt people. I'd tell the girl it was my fault, yet I excused that behavior by thinking that I hadn't meant to hurt anyone, so I was okay. I have never blamed myself for any of the shit I caused.""That has always been a rather annoying quality of yours," she noted."When I was on the roof of Havenstone, daring Ishara with my life on the line, that's when I felt it. I owed and owned my Amazon heritage in that moment. I finally blamed myself for something, for not accepting sacrifices were being made for me and I was dishonoring every one of you by denying their purpose.""You are Ishara," Rachel stated firmly. That was her entire argument."I had to believe that. I had to believe I was nothing more than one Amazon in a long line of Amazons dating back to that first night of betrayal. I had to realize I was one of many, not someone special, with special rules. I wasn't getting to be the good guy, or even the bad guy. I was just, an Amazon. One more Ishara among the hundreds that stood in my place.""And it took that moment for you to realize what most Amazons know from the age of five," Rachel stroked my cheek. "It is easy for us to forget your bravery comes from a place that is uniquely you and you didn't grow up around the fires with tales of our mothers, grandmothers and all those who have come before. We see our honor is gold and sing the songs in the First Tongue. We live as Amazons.""I wanted you to know because," I faltered at the last memory."Charlotte. You want to make peace with me about Charlotte," she touched my cheek yet again. "Cáel, I told her mother and daughter about how she died. They want to meet Vincent when he is feeling better. They want to talk to you. They worry about you not understanding that Charlotte lives and will live on until the Sun dies and the stars burn out.""Charlotte was in the Warband that killed Ajax the Unconquered, Cáel. She fell on that ridge, looking down on Ishara's triumph over Ajax and her spirit took the news of that victory to the next life. She is a welcome exemplar to House Ska i. She will be remembered in the lists of the Security Detail, our Warrior Elite. Charlotte was my friend and I didn't wish her to die, but war is what we do. And she buried her enemies and saved our lives."Ska i was a j tunn and the Nordic goddess associated with bow-hunting, skiing, winter, and mountains. I had known her house. The SD didn't talk about their families much because of their devotion to the craft of war, so I had never known her mother was still alive, or that she had a daughter."She did much more than die, Cáel. She killed men so that when you finished with Ajax, none of them, left on that field, could avenge him," she added."I hadn't looked at it that way," I confessed. "I'd like to meet her family. You said she has a daughter. I didn't know.""You didn't need the distraction. We all knew you would have only done incredibly stupid things trying to keep us alive. If it helps, she is five and cried freely, deeply and long. Her mother is fifty-two and runs a freehold in Saskatchewan. She'll be around for a long time, trust me."Charlotte's mother had to be one tough D O B (daughter of a bitch) to see sixty. I did know she was the second of five daughters, with the middle one being in the Ska i House Guard."I am doing something for, well, for me, but for Charlotte too. Sakuniyas is leading seventeen House Isharans and two ladies from MI-6 in West Africa.""I'd heard about that," she smiled. "Charlotte's Fist." Four (the core of any war band) was a sacred number to the Amazons, as was five (the number of digits) so twenty was a classic warrior unit. It was also the number of the original houses. Normally these groups were referred to by their leader's name, but I wanted the Condotteiri to know they'd killed the wrong Amazon and Sakuniyas agreed to the naming convention.The Condos had sent Ajax to Hungary and Romania to kill me. Charlotte had died stopping them, but this was not a matter of revenge. This honored her and was a request for her to watch over those who sought inspiration from her when they went into battle. West-Central Africa was one of the three Amazon Homeland (Eastern Europe and Southern India being the other two) and was where the war was heating up.JIKIT (Joint International Khanate Interim Taskforce) became involved when the Condos and Coils of the Serpent (one of the 9 Assassin Clans) began killing local civilian and military leaders. The Condos did it to spread chaos for them to use as a smoke screen behind which they could hide the large numbers of mercenaries in the area hunting down the Amazons. The Coils attacked any official that was on the Condo's payroll.As the body count began to rise, the US and UK began having 'normal' covert agencies investigate the killings, yet they remained blind to the reasons behind the actions. It wasn't until a whole Condo 'training camp' ended up being extinguished that they realized there was a third player in the game (as opposed to the governments and the rogue mercenaries).The Coils of the Serpent were one step ahead of the intelligence agencies. And that allowed the Amazons to hunt down the Condos. We in JIKIT had estimated it was roughly 15,000 Condotteiri foot soldiers (consisting of mercs, local paramilitaries and the occasional regular army commander) versus the roughly 3000 Amazons and 1000 members of the 9 Clans. The Golden Mare was asking for Havenstone and the Freeholds in North and South America to raise up 'fists' to join the struggle in Africa. In Belize they would be trained for two months to ten weeks in jungle warfare before heading over."Are your people going to be ready?" Rachel inquired."We have done well in Japan," I replied. "The former 'Runners' actually do better moving through urbanized society than their Old School Amazon sisters.""I heard they are more prone to taking orders from the Ninja," she looked me in the eyes."I told them to. This is the Ninja's war and we serve them best by doing what we do best ~ taking the fight to the Seven Pillars when they expose themselves," I clarified. "And you got me off talking about Charlotte," I realized a second later."A long period of mourning is not our way, Cáel," she confided. "You were our friend, but you were our mission first and foremost. That hasn't changed.""Are you going to," I began to say 'remain my bodyguard'."Yes. I have a dozen House Guard members expressing a desire to join the Security Detail and be our new electronics expert. Eight of those I'm giving serious consideration to.""The other four?" I asked."Three are too young and are too interested in you for my taste. One is too old and a rather odd individual.""I like odd.""I will reconsider her then," she allowed."Are you saying that to make me happy?""No," Rachel grinned. "I admire your instincts. Do you know how soon you will be needing us?""I'm going to stay in town until the Great Hunt. After my stupendous victory, I'll see if I can get to Brazil, so mid-September.""It will take longer to integrate a member ~ the last week of November," she bargained. I really wasn't in the mood to argue. I was too much the boy who was glad to see his primary guardian standing before him. Pamela was by far the most loving and lethal one of the pack. Rachel was my rock. She kept me alive and I helped give her something to live for, even if it was a flawed 'me'."And Wakko, you don't need to give me a piece of your soul to replace Charlotte. What is hers is hers and what is ours is ours. I'll always miss her and I'm okay with that. She was a good friend and a proud compatriot and I loved her. I never had any sisters of the flesh. Mona, Tiger Lily and Charlotte have been the only real family I've had. I will find another sister and I can now accept that.""Is it alright if I still miss her?" I pondered."Of course, Ishara. Will you still be capable of taking my orders when required?""Yes. If I started ignoring your advice, I wouldn't have been worthy of leading someone like Charlotte into battle. I can honor her by letting you do your job.""Thank you. I still worry about you trying to save everyone, but now I'll worry a little less," she confessed."I still plan to do crazy stuff, hey, do you have a daughter?""No.""Want one?""I'm in the final drawing of lots for the Great Hunt," she smiled once more."You could just ask.""My way is more fun. This way I'll be sure you'll obey," she let her eyes sparkle with a mirthful fire."Don't think I'll go easy on you. I plan to win," I pledged."Of course not. Why would you change now?""I'd rather you bust my balls than mock me?" I pouted. "Instead of spending a moving moment, you are cheering me up.""It is my job to look after you, even now," she stroked my neck affectionately."Especially now," I added as I hit the elevator button."Let's catch up with the others. I need to tell Meridian that she's back in the running.""Oh, that is fortunate," I grinned. "Oh, we'll start our mission to Brazil on Thursday, February 12th.""Is there a significance of that date?"I laughed. I put an arm around her shoulder as the doors opened. There were two others Havenstone ladies onboard."Carnival in Rio de Janeiro!" I exulted. "Half a million tourists a day. Two million Brazilians. Everyone wears a mask. What's not to love?""You are so fortunate you waited until you had witnesses around," Rachel groused."Desiree says it's bad for my prestige to be beaten in public," I chortled. "I'm glad you agree.""Maybe we can spar on the mats today when you get off work?""Oh, I'd like to see that," one of the other Amazons remarked. "Weapons or hand-to-hand?""I'll let him use a weapon. I'll use my hands. I want him to think he has a chance," Rachel declared. My arm was still around her shoulder, so I knew she wasn't really pissed."Didn't you kill Ajax?" the other one noted."He tripped over his shoelaces and impaled himself on his own sword," I sighed dramatically.Since the two women looked at one another, then to Rachel, I knew I'd told the lie well."Cáel had an ally shoot a grenade overhead, Ajax died in the confusion, so whatever blow killed him is irrelevant. Cáel beat Ajax with his mind before a single blow was landed. He made his foe fight his battle and that was how Wakko Ishara won," Rachel responded."Like an Amazon," the first one nodded."With balls," I added."An Amazon with balls? I guess you are, but I don't think the testes mattered in that you beat our foe in a matter your ancestors can be proud of," the second one said."Well said," Rachel nodded."Thank you," I shook her hand. "I'm Cáel Wakko Ishara aka Nyilas.""Oh, I'm Wynona of Allatu," she answered. She shook my hand, I ran a finger over her pulse and got her to blush slightly. Allatu was the Goddess of the Underworld in Canaanite mythology and one of the First Houses."Behave," Rachel whispered."Not likely," I whispered back."Did I say something wrong?" Wynona worried."No. Rachel is my moral guardian. So, do you want to go fishing, I mean swimming tomorrow after work, say 5:15?" I inquired."Sure," her smile broadened. "I excel in the water.""Good, maybe you can teach me a thing or two," I answered. The door opened at the lobby and there stood Desiree."Here," Rachel shoved me out the door. "Take him before he fishes himself into more trouble.""I understand," Desiree grumbled. "Come on fisherman. Financial Investigations is working late tonight and we need to pick up Italian food for twenty-two.""Lead and I shall follow," I proclaimed."Why do you call him the 'Fisherman'," Wynona asked Rachel."Fish, barrel, I'll explain it to you on the way to the garage," Rachel sighed. The doors shut and off we all went.{7:10 pm, Wednesday, August 27th ~ 12 Days to go}"Will you still be having dinner with us once you return back to JIKIT?" Europa asked as Lorraine passed me some Cajun rice."Every Monday and Wednesday night and on Fridays early," I grinned."We are going to be spending some time in Doebridge over the Labor Day weekend," Europa griped. "Do you want to come with us and save Aya from retelling her ordeal to yet another band of pre-Amazons?""Aya, do you want me to run interference for you?" I asked."No," she smiled. "I want you to train for the Great Hunt. Aunt Katrina says Elsa is virtually a guarantee to be one of the thirty.""Ugh," I groaned. "That's the cherry on the top of a rather bizarre day.""Was today bad?" Loraine asked."Let me see, for starters I got to use a variety of weird weapons for firearms practice. I had a feeling I was part of a round-robin, the way they rotated their assistance to me. In the elevator, I was with Brielle and her buddy when we had a security drill. The elevator cut off, but the air handler went into overdrive, dropping the temperature. After a quick democratic vote, I lost my shirt to an impromptu fire to stay warm, alive," I chuckled. "Then we cuddled together for warmth. I was about to lose my undershirt and pants when the alert ended.""Security alerts last less than fifteen minutes," Caitlyn noted. "I doubt you were in any danger of freezing to death.""Brielle was under the impression security alerts could last hours, despite my questionable knowledge otherwise from the handbook I'd read. Since she had the seniority, I thought she knew better.""So now you are shirtless," Europe smirked."I had a spare shirt stashed in Katrina's office, but I was required to change during the meeting because we were running late. Oh, and yesterday I forgot to feed some genetically superior white rats at one of our labs. Apparently they gnawed through their cages, broke out and now are in the Manhattan underworld, plotting a rodent rebellion," I related."Oh, that was my idea," Loraine perked up."Do you sit around the table with Katrina thinking up this kind of crap!" I protested."Occasionally," Caitlyn admitted. "Most of those are pure Katrina though.""Glad to know my misery is a family bonding experience.""You should be glad to know we care about you," Europa beamed."Yeah, I'll remember that and once you are casted I'm going to absolutely abuse my authority in some serious payback," I faux-glared at her."I promise you we will make it fun," Aya pledged."You would betray your own sisters?" Caitlyn questioned."Sisters are sisters, Mother, but boon companions are for life," Aya countered."That's cool, Mom," Europa snorted. "We'll always be taller than Aya, and faster.""Only more proof she'll be smarter," Caitlyn shook her head. "So Cáel what happened next?""What makes you think the rest of my day wasn't mundane and boring?""According to Katrina, you are the best stress reliever at Havenstone since they put in the Jacuzzis. With it being open season on you today, I figured your day was one misadventure after another," Caitlyn smiled warmly."Fine, I had to go to Financial Investigations to discuss my expense account in Europe.""That doesn't sound all that exciting," Loraine said."We were in the pool swimming in the classic Amazon style, I swear, sometime I think I should go to work wearing nothing but a trench coat and a smile," I grouched."Did you make any babies?" Aya chirped."No, I can't have that kind of fun with any employees for another twelve more days. Anyway, they were quite cross with me not using their services and let me know for an hour and, thirty-six minutes. After that I had to get a reference physical.""You are as healthy as a horse," Europa neighed."Funny Epona," I sniffed indignantly. "You are a load of laughs, filly. After I had been turned into a prune they made me undress again. There was some nonsense about all the combat I had been in had made me shorter and given me muscle constriction.""That is a good one," Aya nodded. "I'm glad they were being as creative as you are, Atta.""Who is to say that I'm not being the creative one here?" I winked at her."Were your muscles 'constricted'?" Loraine snickered. Europa gave her a thumbs up for joining on the fun."Nope, all my reflexes are in working order and I can still salute on demand," I smiled. "Which was good because after that, I worked through lunch with Acquisitions discussing Khanate plans for Siberia." There was a pause."What was so horrid about that?" Loraine inquired, as if I had been tortured up until that point."We had to do the whole three hour routine on the practice mats. I was pinned grappled and I had something that was strangely reminiscent of a titty-snuggle. I mean, all that skin-tight clothing, close contact and sweaty bodies was murder on my concentration," I confessed."We aren't going to be investing in Siberia, are we?" Aya winked at me."I don't know. I spent three hours saying "I don't know" and "I haven't a clue.""You are good at that," Europa jibed. I flicked a pea at her, bouncing it off her chin. She was getting ready for a spaghetti & meatball counterattack when Caitlyn's cough brought her up short."He is the Head of House Ishara. He can act that way. You are Epona and we are better behaved."Europa stuck her tongue at me, I returned the gesture and this time Caitlyn's cough was aimed at me. She followed that up by rubbing her foot along my shin. I smiled at her, then caught Aya smiling at the both of us. Then I recalled Aya had set the table, damn it."I'll get us dessert," Aya beamed happiness my way. I was thinking about dessert alright, damn that girl.{Rhada Revisited}"I'm home gang," I exhaled. "Ready to go out?" and was promptly shot with a Nerf gun. "What did I do this time?"Timothy and Odette were getting off the sofa. Odette was taking aim while Timothy left his single-shot where he'd been sitting."We are going out. You are not," Timothy grinned. "You have company in the bedroom.""Man, I was looking forward to," then Odette shot me in the stomach with her six shot nerf repeater."You have company," Odette emphasized the 'company' part. To me this implied someone who I couldn't seduce with a few words, maybe get busy for half an hour then go out partying. That could only mean,I opened my door and there lay Rhada, completely naked, hogtied and bound. She had even been gagged. Her look of hate and loathing turned to, something else; part fear and part heartsick yearning. Could Timothy and Odette, really just Timothy, I loved Odette but she had the combat skills of a Tribble. Could Timothy defeat Rhada so thoroughly that she could be so bound?Not likely. I'd been neglecting her, What with being kidnapped, running off to Europe and generally doing my job, I'd neglected her well-defined physique, olive skin and athletic curves. I'd been a fool for letting her waste away while I'd been 'not' earning a paycheck. Hell, I was working too much. I'd played around in college and still managed to graduate with good grades, and it wasn't like I had been hired for my brains."Oh, I've been missing this," I relished her helplessness while rubbing my palms together."Mumph," Rhada protested. It was hard for her to move her body. Her legs were bound above the knee to her shins while her ankles were lashed together and then to the top of her thighs.Her elbows and wrists were tied behind her back, wrists to wrist. The ropes securing her arms crisscrossed above and below her breasts and looped around her neck. She looked tightly secured. A bit too secured. I couldn't see how to un-hog-tie her."Don't you dare go anywhere," I warned Rhada then backed out of the room hurriedly."I suggested the ass plug!" Odette smiled as I turned around. I'd missed that given the shapeliness of her buttock,"I color-coded the ends of the ropes for you. Pull the yellow, then green and then pink and she'll come undone just fine. I put some ointment by the bedside for after. It will help numb the burn and promotes healing without scarring," Timothy patted me on the shoulder. "Now that you've b

Der Luftverkehr war Mitte der 1920er Jahre seiner Pionierphase unerkennbar entwachsen und hatte sich – trotz aller fortbestehenden Hemmnisse durch den Versailler Vertrag – in Deutschland zu einer echten Boombranche entwickelt. Längst dachte man auch hier in Netzen mit Anschlussverbindungen und Drehkreuzen, wie ein Ausblick auf die Pläne für den Flugbetrieb im Jahr 1925 im Hamburgischen Correspondenten vom 27. Januar bestätigt. Dessen Autor Friedrich Andreas Fischer von Portuzyn war selbst Flieger und arbeitet für die Junkers Luftverkehr AG in Dessau, die sich in jenen Jahren für kurze Zeit zur bedeutendsten Fluggesellschaft der Welt entwickelte - auch wenn sich die Expansionspläne Richtung Orient und Sowjetunion, von denen der Artikel unter anderem kündet, letztlich nicht als rentabel erweisen sollten. Rosa Leu klettert für uns ins Cockpit.
Vi satte en mikrofon på Gøsta Johansson og lokket frem erindringer og historier helt fra tidlig 40 tallet på Lade der Luftwaffe hadde base under krigen. Han har en Dornier 17 “kill” og terget på seg nazistene til et punkt der han ble skutt etter som guttunge! Etter krigen ble det seilflyging og motorflyging. Han måtte fly Cub fra Lade til Fornebu for sin egen oppflyging! Etter 16.500 flytimer er han full av gripende historier fra lufta. Han har egentlig aldri hatt en “A4 flygerjobb”, men fløyet mye foto, ferry og spesielle operasjoner i mange land. Dette er “slow pod” på sitt beste! Takk til Ole Erik Strande og Lars Øyno som hjalp oss å fasilitere denne muligheten. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

L'Agaléen Aimée Edouard décède à Maurice : ‘Zotpéna aucun droit met mo papa solekorlor a bato la !'s'insurge sa fille... Riccofyne Edouard insiste que le corps de son père doit être rapatrié par le Dornier. Aimée Édouard est décédé à l'hôpital Jeetoo le lundi 5 septembre dernier. Sa famille avait entamé des démarches pour qu'il regagne Agalega, son île, une semaine avant son décès. Toutefois, l'OIDC n'avait pu faire le nécessaire. Depuis son décès, les proches d'Aimée Édouard ont multiplié les requêtes auprès de l'organisme pour que le corps soit rapatrié par Le Dornier. Or, l'Outer IslandsDevelopment Corporation insiste que le rapatriement se fera ce samedi 10 septembre par Le Trochetia. La fille du défunt, Riccofyne Edouard trouve inacceptable cette manière de faire de l'organisme. Pour elle, c'est un manque de respect envers son père. Elle ajoute qu'elle n'a signé aucun document permettant le rapatriement de son père par navire.

Some individuals 7. Conclusion and AftermathToday we going to discuss the Battle of Britain with James Holland. Fought in the skies above Britain between the Royal Air Force and Nazi Germany's Luftwaffe in the summer of 1940. We are very fortunate to be joined by a historian who has written extensively on the second world war. His 2010 book, the ‘Battle of Britain', is highly regarded and a must read on the subject. Per Ardua Ad Astra.This is, our section on some of the most important Battles in History. The Prussian military theorist, Carl von Clausewitz, said that War is Politics by other means. And in war, battles are fought – on land, on sea and in the air. Many are inconclusive, some are a step towards eventual victory and of course the winner of the last battle is generally the victor. We are going to examine some iconic Battles which have either brought a war to a close or have had such an important effect on the war that they have decisively changed its direction and outcome. A very few of these end up defining a conflict or even a nation.So it goes,Tom Assheton and James Jackson Reference:Battle of Britain (2010) and Brothers in Arms (2021) by James HollandThe Last Enemy by Flight Lieutenant Richard HillaryReach for the Sky by Paul BrickhillBooks recommended by James Holland:First Light by Geoffrey WellumSmoked Trails in the Sky by Tony BartleyScramble by Tom Neil See also:YouTube: BloodyViolentHistoryhttps://www.instagram.com/bloodyviolenthistory/https://www.jamesjacksonbooks.comhttps://www.tomtom.co.uk If you enjoy the podcast, would you please leave a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes, Spotify or Google Podcast App?

Alexis Dornier wurde 1981 in Deutschland geboren, wo er unter dem ständigen Einfluss der Luftfahrtindustrie aufwuchs. Er entstammt einer Industriellen- und Ingenieurs-Familie. Alexis studierte Architektur an der Universität der Künste in Berlin und zog anschließend nach New York City, wo er zwischen 2004 und 2007 als Architekturdesigner für Asymptote Architecture, OMA-NY und Rex arbeitete. Das Jahr 2013 markierte eine radikale Veränderung in seinem Leben und seiner Karriere, als er beschloss, sein westliches Leben hinter sich zu lassen und nach Ubud auf Bali umzuziehen, wo er begann, als Berater für lokal entworfene und gebaute Architekturprojekte zu arbeiten. Was als architektonische Beratung begann, entwickelte sich schnell zu ganzheitlichen, unabhängigen eigenen Projektentwürfen mit einer schnell wachsenden Anzahl von Arbeiten in der balinesischen Landschaft. Dornier ist jetzt in Ubud ansässig und arbeitet sowohl lokal als auch international an einer Mischung aus Wohn- und Gewerbeprojekten. Die Philosophie hinter der Architektur von Alexis Dornier besteht darin, für jede architektonische Gestaltungsaufgabe Gestaltungsmethoden zu kombinieren und neu zu formulieren. Eine architektonische Aufgabe ist ein eigener Fall, eine eigene Sache, ein eigenes Problem und eine eigene Angelegenheit. Eine Reihe von Regeln bilden eine logische und umfassende Entwurfserzählung, die zu Effizienz und einem starken Ausdruck unserer gebauten Umwelt führt. Seine architektonischen Projekte versuchen, eine Designästhetik zu formulieren, die zwischen Elementen des tropischen Modernismus und der Industriearchitektur vermittelt, mit einem zugrunde liegenden Streben nach formaler und tektonischer Innovation. Diese Entwurfsästhetik wird durch einen iterativen Entwurfsprozess und eine sorgfältige Auswahl lokal verfügbarer natürlicher Materialien realisiert, die räumlich so komponiert sind, dass sie auf den Standort und die natürliche Umgebung, in der sie stehen, reagieren. Tektonik ist im Wesentlichen die Tätigkeit, die das Bauen zu einer Form der Kunst erhebt. In dieser Hinsicht werden die Projekte von Alexis Dornier durch strukturelle und formale Erkundungen angetrieben, durch den Wunsch des Studios, die Grenzen seiner eigenen tropisch-tektonischen Sprache zu erweitern. Dies geht Hand in Hand mit dem Bestreben, die Erfahrung der Landschaft durch architektonisches Design zu verstärken. Die Projekte des Studios werden in den tropischen, bewaldeten Hügeln von Ubud, dem kulturellen Epizentrum Balis, entworfen. Architektur in den Tropen und insbesondere an einem Ort wie Bali zu praktizieren, inspiriert uns täglich und erinnert uns daran, langsamer zu werden und die Bedeutung von Gleichgewicht und Wohlbefinden zu schätzen. Mit einem Team von talentierten, engagierten Architekten und Designern ist das Studio bestrebt, neue Typologien, Formen und Strukturen zu erforschen und dabei von dem reichen Erbe und dem in der lokalen Tradition verankerten Know-how zu lernen.
Ich bin zu Gast bei Sebastian in der Nähe von Bremen. Sebastian ist Lotse, er fliegt, er fotografiert und er hat ein Buch veröffentlicht. "Nach der letzten Landung", so heisst es. Er fliegt zu und über die Flugzeugfriedhöfe dieser Welt, und hält somit schöne, alte Flugzeuge im Bild fest, damit sie nicht ganz in Vergessenheit geraten. Ich wollte von ihm wissen, wie man so etwas plant, welche Rolle seine Frau übernimmt, wenn er die Kamera in die Hand nimmt und was es mit seiner DO-27 auf sich hat, darüber haben wir in stilechter Umgebung gesprochen.
The world's rich and powerful are descending on Davos for the World Economic Forum's annual meeting. The lingering effects of pandemic, the rising inflation in many parts of the world and Russia's war in Ukraine have created a bleak backdrop. Amid all this, global investors will be keenly assessing what the Indian delegation has to say at Davos. So, what will be India's strategy and what challenges it could face? Back home, spiraling inflation has forced the government to slash the central excise duties on petrol and diesel. This succour to the common man will come at a cost of Rs 1trillion for the government in the next one year. But what about the CNG vehicle users? The prices of CNG have soared about 60% in the last one year in Delhi. The price differential between petrol, diesel and CNG has narrowed like never before. So why is CNG on fire? And can CNG vehicle owners -- including those auto rickshaw and cab owners -- expect relief? Apart from cutting central excise duties on fuel prices, the government also levied duties on steel exports to curb inflation. But it has come as a setback for the metal and oil marketing space with experts turning cautious on the sectors. We delve into the likely impact of these policy decisions and the outlook for the sectors. From Dalal Street, let us turn our gaze to the skies. Last month, when a 17-seater aircraft lifted-off a short runway of Assam's Dibrugarh, it not just charged into the clear hill sky, but also into the Indian aviation history. The indigenously built Dornier 228 aircraft was for the first time used to carry passengers. Our next report offers a peek into the aircraft built by Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd and how it may help India meet the regional connectivity target? Lets find out in this episode of the podcast. Watch video
The deafening noise of Dornier 228 aircraft completely drowned the sound of clapping at Assam's Dibrugarh airport on 12th of April. But it didn't stop those at the airstrip from cheering. On-board the 17-seater aircraft were Aviation minister Jyotiraditya Scindia and Union law minister Kiran Rijuji -- who were flying into history. Built by Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd or HAL, the light-weight aircraft was so far used to transport troops, carry out maritime surveillance and several other government missions. But, on April 12th, it took off on its first commercial flight between Assam's Dibrugarh and Pasighat in Arunachal Pradesh. From 1985 to the early 1990s, a regional airline called Vayudoot used Dorniers to service 100-odd airports across India. The Dornier-228 made up close to half of Vayudoot's fleet of 21 aircraft. Back then, however, it was a German-made aircraft. Unfortunately, there were multiple reports of engine failure during flight. In fact, in 1989, a flight from Pune to Hyderabad crashed and killed all 11 on-board. Vayudoot wound up in 1997. However, the HAL-built plane is based on a new generation of Dornier 228 aircraft. Until recently, the Dornier-228 aircraft were being manufactured under licence from RUAG, a Swiss company. While HAL would supply the fuselage, wings and tail unit, the aircraft itself would be assembled at RUAG's German facility. So, what about the Do-228s that have been on commercial jaunts in Arunachal Pradesh and Assam for Alliance Air? These aircraft have been made in India from the raw material stage itself. The aircraft will now help the government meet its targets of providing air connectivity to tier 2 and tier 3 cities of the country under its UDAN scheme. UDAN's aim is to make air travel both affordable and widespread. One of the ways it does this is by connecting unserved airports and airstrips across the country. Recently, HAL Chairman and Managing Director R Madhavan told Business Standard that there were over 150 airports and airstrips that were only suitable for less than 20-seater aircraft, which is the class the Dornier-228s fall in. Therefore, airline operators can fly Dornier-228s on routes connecting such airports and airstrips. According to Madhavan, the Northeast, with its challenging hilly terrain and the difficulty of travelling there by rail or road, was the obvious area to begin with. It is a modest start. However, Madhavan is confident that the use of two civil Dornier-228s by Alliance Air will bring in other operators, who would also be prospective HAL customers, into the regional aviation market.
This week, we speak to a veteran of the IAF's transport fleet - light, medium and heavy transport aircraft like the Dakota, Dornier-228, HS-748, AN-32 and IL-76, Gp Capt RK Sharma. He was an instructor and examiner on many of these types, and landed the first Dornier 228 at Leh and Thoise, far in excess of the aircraft manufacturer's published limits of performance. Gp Capt Sharma's profile can be found here: http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/IAF/Database/16050More about the Do-228 can be found here: https://www.bharat-rakshak.com/IAF/aircraft/specs/573-dornier-228.html and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dornier_228

So far, in my journey as a communicator, being able to host this conversation with an inspirational renowned architect, designer and creative such as Alexis Dornier, has been a pivotal moment in my life. Through him, I learn about the art of non-duality, which in other terms, means to be able to detach from your art creation, in order to express without the setbacks of an emotional attachment and self-judgement. This does not mean that art is not a feeling based creation, it just means that you can be a part of it by stepping into it from an unattached perspective, allowing your own personal freedom to create with greater harmony. In this conversation, we bring to the light thought patterns and the conscious shift we must constantly be a part of, in order to allow the world and built environment around us to evolve with us. Join us as we talk about art, perspective, conscious sustainability and self-exploration.
Die Dornier Do 27 ist nicht nur bei ehemaligen Luftwaffenpiloten bekannt und beliebt, denn auch nach ihrer Dienstzeit flog sie lange Zeit in Vereinen, Flugsportgruppen und in privaten Händen.

German-born, Bali-based multidisciplinary architect Alexis Dornier discusses that architecture is more about the process than the outcome. He sees having good, mutual communication between the different collaborators is key to creating a successful result that is driven by task-specific solutions. The same case applies to trying to achieve sustainability, because it is a result of joint effort between architect and client, who both aim to reduce carbon footprint as a result of a thoughtful work.

La población menorquina de Mahón protagonizó un poco conocido episodio de solidaridad al acoger a los supervivientes del acorazado Roma, buque insignia de la armada italiana hundido por la aviación nazi, en plena Segunda Guerra Mundial. Más de quinientos náufragos, junto a otro millar de tripulantes de las naves que acudieron en su auxilio, permanecieron cuatro meses internados en ese puerto balear. El ataque se produjo el 9 de septiembre de 1943, cuando la flota italiana navegaba hacia Argelia para ponerse a disposición de los aliados. La transferencia inmediata de las naves era una de las condiciones del armisticio que el gobierno del mariscal Pietro Badoglio acababa de firmar con las fuerzas angloamericanas, un cambio de bando que desató la represalia alemana. Dos grupos de bombarderos Dornier atacaron la flota con bombas de precisión Fritz X, los primeros proyectiles radioguiados de la historia. Dos impactaron de lleno en el Roma, que se hundió tras sufrir un violentísimo incendio que mató, entre otros muchos, al almirante Carlo Bergamini, comandante en jefe de la armada italiana. Otros mil trescientos hombres perecieron abrasados o ahogados. Siete buques de la flota rescataron a los supervivientes; el estado de muchos era crítico y los puertos italianos, acosados por la Luftwaffe, no eran lugares seguros. Finalmente pusieron rumbo a las islas Baleares, al ser España un país no beligerante en la contienda. Casi todos fueron acogidos en el Hospital de la Isla del Rey –instalación militar del puerto de Mahón– y en una cercana base naval. Otro pequeño grupo acabó en Sóller (Mallorca). De la convivencia entre la población de las islas y los inesperados visitantes nacieron amistades, amores y un vínculo emocional de por vida. Aunque el paso de los años y la interminable lista de horrores de la Segunda Guerra Mundial han difuminado el recuerdo, un grupo de descendientes de los náufragos se empeña en mantener viva la memoria. Sus huellas físicas son un mausoleo en el cementerio de Mahón y el pequeño museo instalado en las salas que ocuparon los heridos en el Hospital de la Isla del Rey, un inmueble en proceso de restauración. El responsable de esta sala conmemorativa, Mario Cappa, participa en el documental de Álvaro Soto "Los supervivientes del Roma, náufragos de guerra en Baleares". El programa recrea las circunstancias del hundimiento y la posterior acogida en Mahón y Sóller con la ayuda de varios descendientes: Bruno de Marchi, Valnea Tavolieri, Andrea Amici, Viola Amici, y Roberta Vacca Torelli. Además se han recogido los testimonios directos de Sor Demetria Bragado, religiosa que atendió a los heridos, y Toni Pons, mahonés que convivió con los marineros italianos. También se rescatan grabaciones históricas de los supervivientes Mario Varrone, Marco Biancoe Italo Pizzo. El documental se completa con las voces del general retirado Luis Alejandre, presidente de la Fundación Hospital de la Isla del Rey; los integrantes de ese colectivo Toni Barber y José Barber; y los zoólogos Valentín Pérez-Mellado y Alicia Isabel León, investigadores de la fauna endémica del islote donde se asienta el antiguo hospital militar.

Eine Transportvorrichtung für Särge - Claude Dorniers erster Auftrag deutete nicht darauf hin, dass er einmal zu den großen Pionieren der Luftfahrt zählen würde.

Der 1. September 1939 veränderte die Welt: Der Zweite Weltkrieg begann. An diesem Tag überfielen deutsche Soldaten Polen. Den Grund dafür - einen angeblichen Überfall auf den Rundfunksender Gleiwitz - hatte die deutsche Schutzstaffel (SS) vorgetäuscht, um den Angriff zu rechtfertigen. Es war der Beginn des Zweiten Weltkriegs, der die Welt veränderte, der Leid und Tod brachte, der im Holocaust einen Tiefpunkt menschlichen Handelns erreichte - und der auch in der Region tobte. Die Zahl der Zeitzeugen, die noch von ihren Erlebnissen und Erinnerungen berichten können, schwindet. Heinz Zimmermann aus Friedrichshafen wurde im September 1939, wenige Tage nachdem der Krieg begann, elf Jahre alt. Die längste Zeit des Krieges erlebte er, ohne allzu viel davon mitzubekommen. Doch das änderte sich, als er 15 Jahre alt war: Damals musste er als Flakhelfer feindliche Flugzeuge abwehren. In der Bombennacht vom 27. auf den 28. April 1944, als fast 300 Flieger Friedrichshafen mit 1200 Tonnen Bomben buchstäblich in Schutt und Asche legten, war er im Stadtteil Windhag eingesetzt und musste beobachten, wie seine Heimatstadt in Flammen aufging. Friedrichshafen zählte damals zu den strategisch wichtigsten Städten ihrer Größe. Denn dort, am Ufer des Bodensees, produzierten gleich mehrere Rüstungsbetriebe für die Wehrmacht. Dornier stellte den so genannten Fliegenden Bleistift her. Die Zeppelinwerke bauten Teile für die Bomben V1 und V2, Maybach lieferte Motoren für deutsche Panzer, in der Zahnradfabrik entstanden Bauteile für Getriebe von Militärfahrzeugen. In dieser Folge von "Sag's Pauly" erzählt Heinz Zimmermann davon, wie er als Kind und dann Jugendlicher den Krieg in Friedrichshafen erlebte und berichtet, was ihm durch den Kopf geht, wenn er die rechten Strömungen in Deutschland wahrnimmt.

Silvius Dornier, son of the founder of the German aircraft company, discusses the STOL and other projects that occupied the company after it was re-established in 1954. Dornier began its post-war German designs with their Spanish designed Do 25 which then formed the basis for their German designed general utility monoplane, the Do 27, which went onto sell over 600 aeroplanes of various versions. He them moves onto the experimental Do 29 with tilting propellers, the Do 32 one-man helicopter and the Do 31 experimental jet transport, as well as the Do 28 which went onto harness VTOL to provide a thirteen passenger transport aircraft that was sold around the word. Please note that the archive nature of this recording means that the recording is poor in places. The lecture was hosted by the Royal Aeronautical Society’s Chester Branch Lecture on 14 April 1965. The podcast was edited by Mike Stanberry FRAeS and it was digitised thanks to a grant from the Royal Aeronautical Society Foundation.
Alexis Donier : Founder, Architectural Designer living in Ubud, Bali
episode 30—“I will not cut for stone.” In this episode we will revisit the shockwave lithotripsy procedure as a revolutionary procedure in urology and we explore how chance encounters can lead to urologic breakthroughs. If you remember from the last episode I introduced a story from when I was in college in 1986. In that story I remember one of my classmates telling me about an internship he had the prior summer doing research at a University Medical Center near his home. As chance would have it he University where he was working had just installed their first Dornier HM-3 shockwave lithotripsy machine, a machine that broke up kidney stones. The machine worked by passing shockwaves through the body to break up the hard stone without the need for an incision. The stone would be broken up into small particles that the patient would pass on their own. Just to keep in perspective how new this all was at the time the now iconic Dornier HM3 ESWL machine was developed in 1983. It was the first commercially available extracorporeal lithotripter in clinical application in the world. FDA approval for the HM3 was obtained in 1984 and the first HM3 was introduced in the United States in Indiana that same year. In 1986, only about two hundred Dornier lithotripters were installed worldwide and only about 250,000 treatments had been performed, and the first results began to be reported from the first few locations in the United States that had an HM3. The HM-3 lithotripter was a game changer. It allowed urologists treat kidney stones without making an incision. This advance, as well as the nearly simultaneous development in advances in scope technology allowed urologists to move away almost completely from making big incisions for the treatment of kidney stones today. We now have essentially 3 options for treatment for a patient that has formed a kidney stone and is unable to pass that stone on his or her own: Break up the stone using the shockwave lithotripter. “ESWL” Perform a scope procedure called ureteroscopy. Making a tract into the kidney directly through the back called a percutaneous nephrolithotomy “PCNL” It would be the attraction of being able to use those new technologies and advances in medicine that would propel me to medical school and ultimately to the field of urology. And it keeps me going to work today. So it was with some excitement that I spent a recent Saturday in a conference at our state urological society meeting. The theme of this year's annual conference was “innovations in urology.” This theme goes well with our last couple of episodes where we have talked about the celebration of the hundredth anniversary of the Journal of Urology chronicling the advances and innovations in Urology. All of the presentations were great, one speaker's presentation at the conference stood out to me. As he talked about the process of innovation, the speaker used a personal example. He described himself as someone excited about life and about exploring new ideas. He described how he was always attending conferences or forums that may or may not relate directly to his field just to get ideas and to keep his brain stimulated. He described how when he was giving a presentation at one of those forums a few years ago he got in an argument with an audience member. This was the type of conference where this type of discussion was encouraged so instead of being offended, or angry, or holding too strongly to his convictions he asked the other man to eat lunch with him so they could discuss their differences further. To make a long story short urologic physician meets research physicist, physicist argues with physician, physician asks physicist to lunch, physician and physicist become good friends. Their friendship led to them exploring some avenues of research together, form a company, and through several years of work are now doing clinical trials on their research. Now that research may or may not pan out to something that becomes clinically significant, but what stood out to me was the urologist describing how much fun he and the physicist had working with each other, sharing ideas and developing a friendship out of it. Conflict led to conversation led to collaboration led to friendship. Awesome. Another one of the speakers at our conference showed a slide with an old saying that I think applies here: If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, take someone with you. It was one of the key takeaways for me from that day. Which brings me to another story I heard that day, and back to the HM-3. It relates to the invention and development of the shockwave lithotripsy and how the idea to explore that came about. I have mentioned before the process of discovery and research starting with a spark or idea.. In the case of the ESWL it was almost literally a spark that created the inspiration for the technology that we still use today. And it would take a team of people to move the research forward. In 1966, at the Dornier Aircraft Company in Germany engineers were studying what happens to aircraft as the aircraft travelled at supersonic speeds. As planes and as rockets began to go supersonic researchers discovered that pitting was taking place on the surface of an aircraft or rocket. The pitting damage on the windshields and exterior of the aircraft was felt to be a combination of both direct injury as well as cavitation bubbles created by soundwaves in combination with raindrops in the air. In their laboratory the researchers had built a small simulator to reproduce the effects they were seeing on the aircraft. Here is how the “spark” happened. As the story goes in both urology textbooks and on the website of the Dornier company a researcher who was using the machine just happened to have his hand in the machine and touched a metal plate in the machine the exact time that the sound-waves contacted the plate. He felt an electric shock. Inspecting his hand he found no external effects of the shockwave. That is that he felt the energy as a shock almost like electricity but there was no damage to the skin or any damage to his finger that he could see. This was, literally, shocking. The researchers at Dornier got to work. The Dornier engineers called up some urologists at a University in Munich, Germany and the team refined the process enough over years to apply for a government-backed research project in 1974. After several more years of innovation and research the first human trials of lithotripsy were performed between 1979 and 1981 on a machine called the HM or human model (HM)-1. The advances would come faster now between 1980 and 1983 when Dornier introduced the HM-3. The original HM-3 lithotripter was and is the Gold standard for lithotripters as far as stone fragmentation. Current generation machines are not necessarily better at breaking up stones the machines but have gotten smaller and easier to use, a water bath is no longer needed (just a balloon or bubble placed against the back through which the shockwaves pass), and the focal point or radius of greatest impact is significantly smaller which decreases the risk of damage to the kidneys or surrounding tissue. The United States had FDA approval of the equipment in 1984 in the first machine was installed in Indiana. By 1986 several machines had been employed in the United States and the procedure became commonplace enough that I would hear about it in a chance encounter hanging out with friends in a college dorm room. Through a series of chance encounters of my own I would end up at Vanderbilt Medical School, learn what a urologist was, and then go to the University of Iowa where, less than 10 years later in 1994 as an intern in urology I would “perform” the procedure for the first time. Perform is relative here as the machine does almost all of the work. But incidentally in 1994 I would not be using an HM-3 lithotripter. Even at that time most of those machines were no longer in service. I have never actually seen an HM-3 machine in person. So how does this actually all work? A shock wave is an acoustic pressure wave of short duration (
In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll explore some more curiosities and unanswered questions from Greg's research, including a pilot who saved Buckingham Palace, a ghost who confronted Arthur Conan Doyle, what Mark Twain learned from a palm reader, and a bedeviling superfluity of Norwegians. We'll also discover a language used only by women and puzzle over a gift that's best given sparingly. Intro: Horatio Nelson's coffin was fashioned from the mast of a French flagship that he had defeated. In 1994 the city council of Green River, Wyoming, designated an airstrip south of town as an "intergalactic spaceport." Sources for our feature on notes and queries: The story of the Singapore tiger shooting appears in this history of the Raffles hotel. Neil Kagan's 2013 book The Untold Civil War alleges that the 15th Wisconsin Volunteer Regiment was so thick with Norwegians that it contained dozens of men named Ole Olson. The Norwegian American Genealogical Center says that the Roster of Wisconsin Volunteers shows that the 15th had 128 men whose first name was Ole, 75 men whose last name was Olson, Olsen, or Oleson, but just 15 whose names were Ole Olson, Ole Olsen, or Ole Oleson. The anecdote about the Gettysburg ordinance is mentioned in Michael Sanders' 2006 More Strange Tales of the Civil War, which cites Gregory A. Coco's A Strange and Blighted Land, Gettysburg: The Aftermath of a Battle, 1995. I found it in Allen C. Guelzo's Gettysburg: The Last Invasion, 2013. Frances Wilson describes Titanic survivor Lawrence Beesley's visit to the set of A Night to Remember in her 2011 book How to Survive the Titanic, Or The Sinking of J. Bruce Ismay. The observation about John Ford's eye for camerawork appears in Robert L. Carringer's 1996 book The Making of Citizen Kane. Dan Murphy's Puritan name is spelled out in Willard R. Espy's An Almanac of Words at Play, 1975. (I first wrote about unusual Puritan names in 2009.) The two long names cited by H.L. Mencken appear in his 1921 study The American Language. Douglas Hofstadter describes Stanford art professor Matt Kahn's confetti illusion in his foreword to Al Seckel's 2004 book Masters of Deception. Mark Twain wrote about Cheiro's prophecy in his notebook in 1903. His affidavit regarding the palmist's insight into his character is described in Sarah E. Chinn's 2000 book Technology and the Logic of American Racism. Three sources regarding Georges Simenon's prolificity: Stanley G. Eskin, Simenon, A Critical Biography, 1987. Henry Anatole Grunwald, "World's Most Prolific Novelist," Life 45:18 (Nov. 3, 1958). Aubrey Dillon-Malone, Stranger Than Fiction: A Book of Literary Lists, 1999. Also in Stranger Than Fiction, Dillon-Malone says that Anthony Trollope's quota of seven pages a day would sometimes carry him out of one book and into the next. Dillon-Malone says he's quoting Malcolm Cowley, who indeed says as much in this Paris Review interview, but I'd like to confirm the anecdote. British fighter pilot Ray Holmes' severing of a Dornier bomber's tail is depicted in this painting. In his 2010 book Royal Prayer: A Surprising History, David Baldwin says "the whole engagement was captured on film," but I've never been able to find it. The best I've found is the opening moments of this National Geographic documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lACDhxSLbYQ The anecdote about Arthur Conan Doyle in Africa is from Russell Miller's 2008 book The Adventures of Arthur Conan Doyle: A Biography. Among other places, the story about Kant's soul appears in Arthur Stone Dewing's 1903 Introduction to the History of Modern Philosophy. And Cornelia Parker's comment about her conversation with Noam Chomsky appears in "Apocalypse Later," Guardian, Feb. 11, 2008. Listener mail: Noah Shachtman, "They Cracked This 250-Year-Old Code, and Found a Secret Society Inside," Wired, Nov. 16, 2012. Wikipedia, "Copiale cipher" (accessed Dec. 8, 2016). "Scientists Crack Mysterious 'Copiale Cipher,'" Guardian, Oct. 26, 2011. Jon Watts, "The Forbidden Tongue," Guardian, Sept. 23, 2005. Wikipedia, "Nüshu script" (accessed Dec. 8, 2016). David Kahn, The Codebreakers, 1967. This week's lateral thinking puzzle is from Paul Sloane and Des MacHale's 2014 book Remarkable Lateral Thinking Puzzles.
