Trouble in the Academy! The heroes have proven themselves to be worthy additions to Magaambya school of magic, but they are still students. Trusted to handle important school business in the surrounding city of Nantambu, the Song-Wind City, the heroes confront a vengeful alchemist, stealthy infiltrators, and other dangers. A mysterious artifact housed within the Magaambya might be the source of the school's recent troubles, but can the students discover its secrets, protect their fellow students, and still graduate? "Spoken on the Song Wind" is a Pathfinder adventure for four 4th-level characters by Quinn Murphy. This adventure continues the Strength of Thousands Adventure Path, a six-part, monthly campaign in which the heroes rise from humble students to influential teachers, and ultimately decide the fate of the Magaambya. This adventure also presents several Mwangi folktales, as well as new monsters and new rules from the Song-Wind City! Each monthly full-color softcover Pathfinder Adventure Path volume contains an in-depth adventure scenario, stats for several new monsters, and support articles meant to give Game Masters additional material to expand their campaign. Pathfinder Adventure Path volumes use the Open Game License and work with both the Pathfinder RPG and the world's oldest fantasy RPG.

Nobody is perfect, but Quinn is as close as one can get. You all can be like Quinn, striving to be the best human possible. Whether in your community, church, sports team, school, family, neighborhood, or environment...we can all make positive choices that have an impact. The best part is that simply being "good" is contagious and spreads fast. It is never too early to develop good habits that will last a lifetime. The famous Mr. Fred Rogers said there are three ways to ultimate success: The first way is to be kind. The second way is to be kind. The Third way is to be kind." This book demonstrates how a little special girl showed that and other values in action and made everyone around her better. I am so proud of my daughter. I love watching her scrap and dangle at the hockey rink, pass in soccer, create art at clay time, grind through a tough school year, independently get ready in the morning, take good care of her dog and special needs brother...and so much more all with a beaming smile and positive energy. The World needs more kids like Quinn.

To begin restoring trust between the factions of a fractured Church of Triune, the heroes must get their leaders to agree to a summit. This meeting takes place in the city's most popular tavern, which doubles as a museum of clockworks. When the talks end, all sides agree that to restore Alluvion, they must first oust the heretical interlopers within the Temple of Triune. But suddenly, the clockwork exhibits lurch to life and the heroes must fight their way through the building to shut them all down. Afterward, the PCs travel up a river of elemental water to reach a secret entrance to the temple, where they must deal with the implacable guardian of Triune's holy computers. "Clockwork Demons" is a Starfinder adventure for four 9th-level characters, continuing the 3-volume Drift Hackers Adventure Path. Drift Hackers is part of the Drift Crisis, an event taking place across the entire Starfinder game line, in which faster-than-light travel breaks down and the galaxy is thrown into chaos. In addition to the adventure itself, this book includes an examination of the Church of Triune, as well as an Adventure Toolbox filled with a collection of sci-fi clockwork gear and strange alien creatures. Each bi-monthly full-color softcover Starfinder Adventure Path volume contains a new installment of a series of interconnected science-fantasy quests that together create a fully developed plot of sweeping scale and epic challenges. Each 64-page volume also contains in-depth articles that detail and expand the Starfinder campaign setting and provide new rules, a host of exciting new monsters and alien races, a new planet to explore and starship to pilot, and more!

"Flutter, or the dynamic instability of an aircraft wing due to aerodynamic loads, must be considered when designing an aircraft. For this reason work has been done to improve a method developed at Bombardier Aerospace to analyze the dynamic aeroelastic response of aircraft. This method replaces original Doublet Lattice Method (DLM) aerodynamic data with that from high-fidelity Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) codes. The new aerodynamic loads are transmitted to the NASTRAN aeroelastic module through improved Aerodynamic Influence Coefficients (AIC). Previously this high-fidelity data was solely steady, and weighting factors were needed to obtain unsteady data. This gave good results for flutter calculations in the subsonic and transonic regime, however, for improved results in the transonic and supersonic regime, unsteady aerodynamic data was needed. This research incorporates unsteady high-fidelity CFD data into this analysis method.The unsteady CFD data was obtained by means of the Transpiration Method. This allowed for the unsteady movement of the model to be accounted for, while saving compu- tational time needed to deform and remesh the aerodynamic mesh at each time step. The transpiration method was validated with two standard test cases, for both static deflections and unsteady cyclic movement. Once this method was validated, high-fidelity CFD results could then be used in the AIC method.The AIC method begins with a set of baseline modes being obtained for the wing model. From these modes an aerodynamic base is calculated. Using the AIC method this aerodynamic base is transferred to NASTRAN. The natural mode shapes of a new configuration, along with the modal-based AIC method are used to approximate aerodynamic loads for the new configuration. These loads are used in NASTRAN to compute the flutter analysis of the new configuration." --
