Time Warp Cousins

Chase is determined to be a private investigator, and he’s been practicing his investigative skills on his brother, Chad Michael. Chase knows his brother is up to something, so while Chad Michael is at the dentist one day, Chase coerces his cousin Jacob to help him discover Chad Michael’s secrets. The cousins break into Chad Michael’s room and discover a secret room behind the bookshelves—and that’s where they find a disk hidden in the air conditioner vent. Not knowing what they have found, Chase accidentally presses a symbol that transports the boys into the freezing waters of the Mediterranean Sea—hundreds of years in the past. Follow these two adventurous cousins back in time as they are rescued from the sea by strange-looking men in an odd ship and then thrown into a dark room below deck. Are the men savage barbarians or awesome Viking warriors? And what do they really have planned for the Time Warp Cousins?

This is a collection of short stories which is truly pan-Indian. It deals with many sub cultures that exist in India. The various stories have been written between 1986 and now. The book is, in a sense, a peep into middle India through this time period with its strengths, weaknesses, frailties, idiosyncrasies and eccentricities. All of it is true to life and readers can relate to the stories easily.

A remarkable memoir of the author's coming of age as a writer.

Luke's dad has bought a lot of gadgets recently and not one of them works as it's supposed to. Maybe it's because a machine-from-the-future is stalking Bromley, playing havoc with all the tech and trying to stop Star Lad going on a date. Could this be the Rise of the Machines? Luke knows what he must do - he just needs his fellow SCARF members to help, or it will be the end of everything... My Cousin is a Time-Traveller is the fifth instalment of Luke's laugh-out-loud adventures. From the author of My Brother Is a Superhero, winner of the Waterstones Children's Book Prize and the British Book Industry Awards Children's Book of the Year, and My Gym Teacher Is an Alien Overlord, winner of a Lollies Laugh Out Loud 2017 Book Award. Books don't come much funnier than these! Packed with heart and soul, this series is perfect for fans of David Baddiel and David Walliams.

Trapped in a lifetime of wrong turns and regret, Danny is a lost man desperate to reinvent himself. When the family business is sold and Danny receives a sudden influx of cash, he devotes his time and money to mastering the art of time travel. Delving into his troubled past, Danny begins constructing an alternate life narrative to fulfill his biggest dreams and abolish personal tragedies. He ignites a love affair with his childhood sweetheart and achieves his ambition to fly airplanes. But the reboot comes with a price. As the secrets of Danny’s time machine come to light, murder and mayhem erupt around him. Dueling life stories collide and Danny spirals into madness, pulling others into his dark universe. The line between reality and fantasy is not only blurred, it becomes smeared with terror—and no one around him is safe.

​This broad-ranging text/reference presents a fascinating review of the state of the art of modeling and simulation, highlighting both the seminal work of preeminent authorities and exciting developments from promising young researchers in the field. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Winter Simulation Conference (WSC), the premier international forum for disseminating recent advances in the field of system simulation, the book showcases the historical importance of this influential conference while also looking forward to a bright future for the simulation community. Topics and features: examines the challenge of constructing valid and efficient models, emphasizing the benefits of the process of simulation modeling; discusses model calibration, input model risk, and approaches to validating emergent behaviors in large-scale complex systems with non-linear interactions; reviews the evolution of simulation languages, and the history of the Time Warp algorithm; offers a focus on the design and analysis of simulation experiments under various goals, and describes how data can be “farmed” to support decision making; provides a comprehensive overview of Bayesian belief models for simulation-based decision making, and introduces a model for ranking and selection in cloud computing; highlights how input model uncertainty impacts simulation optimization, and proposes an approach to quantify and control the impact of input model risk; surveys the applications of simulation in semiconductor manufacturing, in social and behavioral modeling, and in military planning and training; presents data analysis on the publications from the Winter Simulation Conference, offering a big-data perspective on the significant impact of the conference. This informative and inspiring volume will appeal to all academics and professionals interested in computational and mathematical modeling and simulation, as well as to graduate students on the path to form the next generation of WSC pioneers.
