В книге представлены две исторические работы генерала от инфантерии, писателя Евгения Васильевича Богдановича (1829–1914). Первая работа посвящена Наваринскому морскому сражению 1827 года между соединённой эскадрой России, Англии и Франции, с одной стороны, и турецко-египетским флотом – с другой. Разгром турецкого флота в этом сражении значительно ослабил морские силы Турции, что послужило важным вкладом в победу России в дальнейшей Русско-турецкой войне 1828–1829 годов. Второе исследование рассказывает о разгроме турецкой эскадры Черноморским флотом под командованием вице-адмирала Павла Степановича Нахимова 18 (30) ноября 1853 года в гавани города Синоп на черноморском побережье Турции.
В историографии русского флота работы Е.В. Богдановича по праву считаются классическими.

Бель не хочет думать о будущем. Подготовительные программы для поступления в колледж? Смешно. Внеклассные занятия? Без шансов. Записаться в клуб робототехники, где полно парней, которые игнорируют тебя или, что еще хуже, постоянно спрашивают, не нужна ли помощь? Что угодно, только не это. Но когда на уроке у нее случайно обнаруживается талант инженера, то выбора не остается.
Матео Луна – красивый капитан клуба робототехники, который мгновенно распознал способности Бель. Она нужна ему в команде. И не только потому, что он не может перестать думать о крошечных веснушках вокруг ее глаз или о том, как она подсадила его на песни Тейлор Свифт. Все дело в том, что Бель видит его. И она бросает ему вызов.
Но когда они всерьез начинают сталкиваться лбами, Бель задается вопросом: а есть ли на самом деле место для девушки в научной сфере?

Князь Феликс Феликсович Юсупов, граф Сумароков-Эль-стон младший (1887— 1967) – родовитый аристократ, семейство которого владело колоссальнейшим состоянием. Он учился в Пажеском корпусе и в Оксфорде, был бисексуалом и женился на племяннице Николая II. Одно про него знают все – он убил Распутина. После большевистской революции князь счастливо избежал смерти и почти полвека провел в изгнании.
Впервые полный текст «Мемуаров» выходит на русском языке, да еще в таком дивном переводе, что даже не верится, что князь писал их по-французски. «Мемуары» напрочь лишены авторского тщеславия: князь Юсупов рассказывает о себе и о других с простотой и величием настоящего аристократа, которому не надо ни отчитываться, ни оправдываться. Нив чем… У него цепкая память и живой ум, легкий слог и острый взгляд, причуды и странности, глубина и легковесность, юмор и обаяние, блеск и нищета. А за автопортретом без поблажек и комплексов проглядывает история и является Россия – пышная и порочная, безумная и достойная, парадоксальная и подлинная…

Словосочетание «польские партизаны» периода Второй мировой войны традиционно ассоциируется с бойцами подразделений Армии крайовой, подчинявшейся польскому правительству в эмиграции. В 1944 г. под эгидой левых сил возникла еще одна партизанская сила – Армия людова. Но в этой книге речь пойдет о еще об одной, наименее известной категории польских партизан – советских.
В 1943—1944 гг. политическим и партизанским руководством БССР предпринимались активные попытки вовлечь многочисленное польское население Белоруссии в советское партизанское движение. Отчасти на территории Пинской, Барановичской и Вилейской областей БССР эти усилия увенчались успехом. Работа кандидата исторических наук С.В. Благова основана на документальном материале российских, белорусских и польских архивов, а также опубликованных документах и электронных базах данных белорусских партизан.

Среди множества миров Мультивселенной есть один особенный, к которому приковано внимание могущественных сущностей. Битвы за последователей, власть над местами силы и древними артефактами. Война ни на минуту не оставляет этот мир. Варварские кланы, десятки постоянно враждующих рас, города-государства со своими интересами и небольшие королевства с имперскими амбициями. В этом не простом мире пытается выжить и стать сильнее наш соотечественник. Юноше придется сделать выбор остаться самим собой или принять свое новое я!

Я был проклят ещё до своего рождения, а при столь паршивом раскладе глупо уповать на долгую счастливую жизнь. Обмануть судьбу не помогут никакие зароки, ведь на всём белом свете не сыскать ничего прилипчивей порчи. И сгинуть бы мне до срока, да только иной босяк живучей помойного кота – вот я и выкрутился, умудрившись прыгнуть выше головы. Лишился при этом всего, что только имел и чем дорожил, зато разжёг в себе белый пламень магического таланта. Стал другим человеком. Тайнознатцем. Магом и колдуном. Адептом не хуже прочих!

Книга о жизни военно-морских курсантов, о верности, о долге, о дружбе и любви. Работа в море, рассказы старших офицеров о подвигах, о своих юношеских годах — все окрашено романтическим видением, характерным для юных моряков.

So my plan to do my first triathlon in twenty years on Monday didn't turn out so well.

It rained.

A lot. But not so much in town.

At Camp Mabry, just north of central Austin, we got less than an inch of rain last Thursday. At Bergstrom Airport, just south and east of downtown, they got about nine inches.  And it was much worse farther east, along the Colorado River (which also runs through Austin).

On Friday and Saturday, it rained in the Hill Country.  West of Austin.  Upriver.

On Sunday, there was the CapTexTri expo and packet pickup and bike dropoff.

Swag!  My first cowboy hat since I was around seven.

Bike drop off.  I got there early.

Packet pickup

It was clear and sunny.  But because of all the rain, the LCRA opened at least one floodgate from the Tom Miller Dam, releasing water into Lady Bird Lake.  Which was where the swim portion of the CapTexTri was supposed to take place.

At the course talk at the expo, they announced that there was a flow of about 3 mph and they were considering changing the course so that it ran point to point (downriver).

Course talk.  Could've used a projector.

Later that day, they announced the swim was canceled.  Which was disappointing, but I've weathered a couple of triathlons in Chicago where that had happened and one when it probably should've.

Monday, race day, I awoke at 5 AM, fed the cats, ate breakfast and drank coffee, and then I heard rain.  Lots of rain.

Nevertheless (discovering, to my chagrin, that I am apparently an optimist), I headed out.  When I arrived at the transition area, I was told it was closed, and that we should shelter at Palmer Events Center or its garage.  This was around 6-620.

In the garage and on the deck of the Palmer Events Center, folks seemed to take things in stride and with humor.  Some people were concerned about hairpin turns on a wet course, but were generally willing to take it slow.

Sheltering in the garage

We heard a tentative plan to cut short the bike portion to 20k, but the rain and lightning continued. Finally, at around 830, race officials called off the bike portion entirely because of flooding on the course. 

Still a bit lightning-y

They announced that Olympic distance participants could do a 10k, while sprint participants could do a 5k and that start time would be at 10 am. Most folks removed their bikes and went home or back to their hotels. There was some grumbling -- last year the event had been cut short due to flooding, as well, and I gather there had been similar problems in 2014, too.

Athletes clearing out the transition area

I took my bike back to my car, but decided that I'd gotten up at five that morning to run a race and so, I was going to do one.  Besides, I didn't want to waste all those carbs I'd eaten in the past few days. :-).

At ten o'clock, the rain pretty much stopped.  And then we were off!  By 10:15, the sun came out.  No, really. 

Everyone who's still there seems in good humor :-)

And we're off!

Turned out, there were only about 200 of us who stuck around for the 10k, with another 150 for the 5k (out of around 3000 original participants), but everyone seemed to be having a good time.  I was pretty happy with my race -- I'm not sure it was exactly 10k, but I still did one of my better overall times and paces. At least this century :-).

The view from the Biergarten.  Note the utter absence of rain.

Sunny skies.

On the whole, it was a bit surreal but fun, although in the moment sometimes frustrating.  And, in retrospect, kind of funny.  I think the organizers did a good job under trying conditions and kept us pretty well informed via social media.  So, thanks (And I am really glad I wasn't in charge :-)).  Thanks also to all the volunteers who stuck around to the bitter end.

 Oh, and I actually ended up getting a bit of a tan.

Epilogue: Late Monday, the Austin Fire Department closed Lady Bird Lake and Lake Austin to all boat traffic.

And they're giving us a discount for the 2017 race. :-).

Here's what the lake looked like Tuesday morning (Normally, there is no current at all):
