British Aluminium a Memoir
My experience as an apprentice, student and engineer from 1954 to 1964. A small contribution to Britain's industrial history, one of the world's greatest stories. The British Aluminium Company Ltd was founded on 7 May 1894 and became Rio Tinto Alcan in 2007. But the three factories where I worked have now been demolished. The Kinlochleven hydro-electric factory built between 1905 and 1907 not only produced Aluminium but also provide electrical power to every house in the village, a first in the world. The factory was closed in 1996 but the hydro power station is still in use. Cover photo - The cover photo has nothing to do with my memoir except that it illustrates the beginning of the industrial revolution. It is a replica of Trevithick's Penydarren tramway locomotive built by the National Museums and Galleries of Wales, Swansea. (Incidentally, near Resolven, Wales). The pioneering locomotive built in 1803-04 by the Cornishman Richard Trevithick at the Penydarren Ironworks, Merthyr Tydfil. On 21 February 1804, this locomotive ran the nine mile tramway from Penydarren to Abercynon, hauling a load of ten tons of iron and about seventy people who hitched an unofficial ride! This was the first successful journey made by a steam locomotive on rails, and would initiate a world-wide revolution in transport in the nineteenth century.Lengkap
Vaporcraft: A Story of Oasis
In the year 1887, the airship was invented in the city of Oasis, Arctica by a lupine inventor named Tony Mt. Brokenfang. Filled with a lighter-than-air gas called vapor, Tony named his machine a Vaporcraft. Although other gas mixtures have been developed since then, the name remains the most popular term for every lighter-than-air craft. Every student has read this fact in their history textbooks. Some students glossed over the ensuing details; those who read on learned the work involved in building the first prototype. The dramatic story of sabotage and conspiracy, as the lucrative railroad industry took drastic measures to prevent their competition from ever leaving the ground. Even those attentive pupils who paid the closest attention, who aced their tests, would never know the full story. In the age of steam, in an era when coal-fired locomotives and ships were the most ubiquitous means of transportation, Tony Mt. Brokenfang, son of the founder of Oasis -- Lord Anthony Silverson-Mt. Brokenfang -- invented the Vaporcraft, and changed the entire course of history.Lengkap
Finding Home | ✔️
"Nobody wants the older kids" North has been in five foster homes in just one year, mostly because it was her fault. Her two younger brothers, Asher and Oliver, always beside her. That's when the Thompson's decided to adopt but life isn't going to as easy as it seems. A/N Whenever I write stories I try to do my research before hand so I try to make it as realistic as possible. No I do not know about adoption or a life of a kid from first hand so I may get some things wrong. While not every foster/adopted kid is like North, Asher, or Ollie, it's still to help bring awareness to the situation that is affecting our world. North's character is definitely dramatized for plot or story development obviously... so I'm aware of that. Anyways please enjoy :) *sorry in advance for any typos and grammar*Lengkap
Trust?
Easton King has had a hard life. His parents abandoned him as a toddler and he's been from home to home for as long as he can remember. Nobody seems to want him, they just keep him for a little and eventually they all throw him away to be somebody else's problem. Because of this, he has never been close to anyone. He's learned from a young age that he can't trust anybody to stick with him. Don't get me wrong, he still has friends. In fact, Easton is one of the most popular boys in school. No one knows about his home life because he never talks about it and never hangs out with people outside of school. Derek Danvers (his friends jokingly call him DeeDee) has had a better life. He lives with his family and they are loving and decently forgiving like most parents are. He has suffered from depression and anxiety but not nearly as severely as Easton. He lives his life one day at a time and he doesn't depend on his friends but he trusts that they'll stay by his side, and if they don't then it's for the best. They didn't deserve him. Everyone in the school knows Easton puts up walls. No one gets within two or three feet of him, no one asks about his home life, and no one asks if they can go to his house or if he can go to theirs. He has rules everyone knows. What happens when someone finally tries to push the rules? To build up the trust one once lost? Read to find out **EditedLengkap
The Bad Boy Saved Me
Do you ever wonder what life would be like if it were a movie? Or some sappy romance novel that you wish your life could be like but it's not? Sometimes you may even get to caught up in the fictional world that you don't realise it IS fictional. Then when you do realise life isn't what you convinced yourself it would be, there is only one possible outcome. Depression. Which may lead to anxiety, self-harm, low self esteem, and worst of all, losing the people you love. Life works in weird ways. Not just for you but for others too. Take Cassidy Rivers for example. Her life is far from perfect. No parents, over protective big brother, few friends, and Asher Norman, the bad boy who won't stop picking on her. Could life get any worse for Cassidy?Lengkap

steam
On a 10 weeks sea trial in 1761, J.Harrison's chronometer was in error by less than 5 seconds. In 1758, Dr E.Darwin replaced the ancient front axle design with two stub axles, pivoting near the wheel; now a feature of all vehicles. F.G. Koenig used his steam driven press, to print an edition of The Times newspaper, in 1814. The Rocket locomotive won the 1829 Rainhill Trials with a top speed of 30 miles per hour. A steamship, from New York City took 115 days to reach to San Francisco in 1848. In 1851, all telegraph stations in the USA were connected and by 1940 there were 40 telegraph lines across the Atlantic. Corrugated paper was invented in 1856, to stiffen tall hats and, in 1874, Oliver Long inventing corrugated board. In 1861, waterwheel powered air compressors and pneumatic drills, cut construction time by 16 years for a tunnel in Switzerland. Fritz Haber's discovered a process to make ammonia fertilizer in 1914. In 1887, Nicola Tesla invented the first AC motor. In 1903, an automatic machine was able to make 2,500 bottles an hour. WHO THE HELL ARE WE? is a series of short books and videos describing the evolution of civilization. Almost everyone on the planet is five times wealthier than their ancestors only 50 years ago. This astonishing phenomenon has also improved health, education, and longevity. The cause; an explosive growth in ideas and productivity. It began when we learned to control fire, evolved articulate speech and stumbled onto the way to create infinite wealth; free trade. The discovery of agriculture made us richer but we also learned how to destroy wealth. Great civilization grew up but then disappeared leaving only incredible ruins and ideas. Later books detail some of the ideas and developments that increased the average life span from about 40 years to more than 80 and the average world income from less than $3 to more than $33 per person per day (and to $140 per day in some countries).Lengkap

Wet Secrets: Bound by Lust|18+
She was never supposed to be his. But she made the mistake of smiling at the night. And the worst the.....night..... smiled back..... There's someone in the dark- Someone who knows the curve of her lips before she speaks. Who memorized the trail of her wet hair against her back. Who watches. Wants. Waits. He doesn't knock. He doesn't ask. He just takes-in silence, in shadows, in dreams soaked with hunger. She thinks she's alone in the shower. She thinks no one hears the moans she buries in her pillow. She thinks her secrets are hers. She doesn't know someone's already claimed her. Every inch. Every sound. Every drop. And then-there's Asher Wilson. Cold. Sinful. Dangerous. The kind of man who doesn't belong in her world... yet pulls her into his like a moth to flame. Every glance from him feels like a bruise, every word like a promise dipped in sin. He doesn't touch her- not yet. But she feels him everywhere. Two shadows circle her- one watching from the dark, the other standing in the light... yet both feel the same. One whispers danger. The other breathes temptation. And between them, she is already burning. When their bodies finally collide, it won't be love. It'll be possession-slow, sinful, and too wet to forget. Because some secrets don't whisper. They drip. And some obsessions don't knock. They enter. But who will claim her? The stalker in the dark... or the man who feels just as dangerous? What if they're not two men at all? What if the fire and the shadow belong to the same monster? And when she learns the truth- will she run from it... or fall to her knees and worship it? But, what so ever happens- In the end........ she was always his and he was hers and he will stake his soul to prove it even, if it killed both of them..!
