All 12 episodes of the Black Guardian trilogy from the twentieth
season of the long-running sci-fi series. On discovering public
schoolboy Turlough lost aboard an apparently abandoned cruiser in
space, the Doctor (Peter Davison) transports to Earth in 1983, only
to meet up with his old friend friend and UNIT colleague, Brigadier
Lethbridge-Stewart, who has apparently lost all memory of him. Back
in 1977, Tegan and Nyssa meet the younger Brigadier and a
disfigured alien they believe could be a regenerating Doctor.
However, it turns out that this is all in fact part of a plot to
destroy the Doctor by the Black Guardian, who has made a deal with
Turlough to grant him transportation away from Earth if he kills
the Doctor. Episodes are: 'Mawdryn Undead (Parts 1-4)', 'Terminus
(Parts 1-4)' and 'Enlightenment (Parts 1-4)'.
Feature-length episode to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the
long-running sci-fi series. All five Doctors (Peter Davison,
Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Richard Hurndall and Tom Baker) and
many of their old companions are taken out of time and deposited in
the Death Zone on Gallifrey. There they must battle not only the
Master, but Daleks, Cybermen and Yeti in order to reach the Dark
Tower and discover the Tomb of Rassilon. This special edition
includes new special effects and extra footage not included in the
original broadcast.
Serial winners and glorious losers, heroes and villains,
trailblazing women, role models and rogues, all are here; so too
are audacious sporting founders, enduring legends and forgotten or
overlooked greats. Through a selection of sixty lives from the
Dictionary of Irish Biography, this book celebrates the diversity
of Irish sporting history. The Dictionary of Irish Biography is a
project of the Royal Irish Academy. It tells the island's life
story through the biographies, at home and overseas, of prominent
men and women born in Ireland, north and south, and the noteworthy
Irish careers of those born outside Ireland. The online edition of
the Dictionary of Irish Biography now features nearly 11,000 lives
and continues to grow. dib.ie
Dusty the Christmas Star is a super duper rhyming Christmas story
about a little star that has no starlight and what he does to find
his light. Dusty is short and sweet, touching and delightful, has a
Christian theme, and brings the message of good deeds to the world.
The illustrators are children which makes this story even more
charming. Ages 3 - 8
Studying the complex physical systems of stellar jets necessitates
the incorporation of nonlinear effects which occur on a wide
variety of length and timescales. One of the primary methods used
to study the physics of jets is numerical simulations that apply
high performance computing techniques. Such techniques are also
required for analysing the huge modern astrophysical datasets. This
book examines those computing techniques. It is a collection of the
lectures from the fifth and final school of the JETSET network,
"Jets From Young Stars V: High Performance Computing in
Astrophysics." It begins with an introduction to parallel
programming techniques, with an emphasis on Message Passing
Interface (MPI), before it goes on to review grid technology
techniques and offer a practical introduction to Virtual
Observatory. The second half of the book, then, is devoted to
applications of high performance computing techniques, including 3D
radiation transfer, to jet and star formation processes. Aimed at
graduate students in astrophysics, this book presents
state-of-the-art methods, thereby offering interesting new insights
to researchers in the field.
It's a simple plan for each of them. Cathal wants money, Anto wants
money and to be with Laura, and Laura wants to escape a life of
poverty. Life however is never that simple. The three young
Dubliners slide down the road of improvisedcrime in an effort to
realize their dreams. In a cascade ofclueless effort and bizarre
schemes, the three slip further into crime andthe strange life of
the Irish underworld. Unlike the boys, however, Laura has a plan
for getting out before she gets in over her head. All she has to do
is stay the course until that one big score that will give her a
way out of crime and poverty. Sooner or later they have to get
there, right? Anto and Cathal have it sussed: after all, how
difficult could crime be? The police, their fellow criminals, and
those who would not be conned all contribute to the answer as the
trio and their friends scramble onwards. 'Turlough O'Neill's keen
ear for dialogue and cynical affection for his home country make
Floating down the Liffey a delightful romp through Dublin's grimy
streets, mingling scrupulously realistic description and expression
with the ironic charm of true Irish humour.
South Leinster has a surprising variety of terrain, boasting
canals, blanket bogs, rolling woodlands, golden beaches and
brilliant green pastures interspersed with fields of golden barley.
Quiet roads with excellent surfaces make this beautiful corner of
Ireland perfect for exploring by bike, with some great climbs and
descents, notably in the Slieve Bloom Mountains, adding exciting
challenges. A journey through this picturesque countryside is also
a trip through the ages, with many historical places of interest
along the way. Break your journey with pit stops at round towers,
restored mansions with attractive gardens like Emo Court,
traditional lighthouses such as Hook Lighthouse, or the graves of
great Irish figures like Shackleton and Wolfe Tone.The graded
routes suit all abilities, and are each illustrated with a colour
map, photos, a gradient graph, and key facts and statistics.
Information is also provided on the many natural landmarks and
historical sites en route. Each trip guarantees a terrific day out
for the curious cyclist.
This volume constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the
22nd IFIP WG 1.5International Workshop on Cellular Automata and
Discrete ComplexSystems, AUTOMATA 2016, held in Zurich,
Switzerland, in June 2016. This volume contains 3 invited talks in
full-paper length and 12 regularpapers, which were carefully
reviewed and selected from a total of 23submissions. The papers
feature research on all fundamental aspects of cellular automata
and related discrete complex systems and deal with the following
topics: dynamical, topological, ergodic and algebraic aspects;
algorithmic and complexity issues; emergent properties; formal
language processing; symbolic dynamics; models of parallelism and
distributed systems; timing schemes; phenomenological descriptions;
scientific modeling; and practical applications.
Why Not? is a selection of Turlough Baxter's eponymous columns on
the subject of liturgy which have appeared monthly in Intercom
magazine for some twelve years. These short pieces, widely admired
by clergy and non-clergy alike, offer refreshing insights into the
celebration of the Eucharist, with a particular emphasis on seasons
and sacraments. Why Not? reminds readers that liturgy is an
expression of our common faith and an entry point into the faith
tradition that has been gifted to us; while the liturgist is the
artist who shares the wonders of the liturgy with a worshipping
people.
