| couch off road engineering: Couchwife Paul Garmisch, 2015-04-03 Jake Collin, a modern day cowboy in western Montana, was the town's most wooed after hunk-of-hunks, until a stranger wandered into town, Nan, who had sexy and friendly dialed up to a full blown 10+. Jake & Nan married, and at the start, life was peaches & cream... until lately. Nan did a 180 change, took up residence on the living room couch, and now does nothing except bitch, eat, brood, watch TV... but supplies extra helpings of rolling in the hay. Truth is, Nan is a behaviorally modified clone, sent to coerce Jake into a very large illicit placer gold mining deal. Nan's 180 is a malfunction in her microchip implants... caused by her human instincts of love for Jake, and life away from her creator. A wild plant growing in the Amazon is at the story's root. The plant IS the tree of life... cures everything... and makes cloning humans easy. The Creator, the story's top evil genius, holds the secret of the plants location from the world, and uses its powers to perpetuate his business ventures... like cloning suicide bombers with explosives implanted into their bodies that can be telepathically implemented. The free world wants the Amazon plant and to end The Creators business. Jake's Couchwife is the catalyst for that end because her human side for true love battles against The Creator's controls. This gives NSA spies clues for operations which saves Jake's life, but he violently loses everything, except his mother's will, His old girlfriend Eda, and a miraculous new life that includes farming the Amazon plant for humanity. |
| couch off road engineering: Trapped Under the Sea Neil Swidey, 2014-02-18 The harrowing story of five men who were sent into a dark, airless, miles-long tunnel, hundreds of feet below the ocean, to do a nearly impossible job—with deadly results A quarter-century ago, Boston had the dirtiest harbor in America. The city had been dumping sewage into it for generations, coating the seafloor with a layer of “black mayonnaise.” Fisheries collapsed, wildlife fled, and locals referred to floating tampon applicators as “beach whistles.” In the 1990s, work began on a state-of-the-art treatment plant and a 10-mile-long tunnel—its endpoint stretching farther from civilization than the earth’s deepest ocean trench—to carry waste out of the harbor. With this impressive feat of engineering, Boston was poised to show the country how to rebound from environmental ruin. But when bad decisions and clashing corporations endangered the project, a team of commercial divers was sent on a perilous mission to rescue the stymied cleanup effort. Five divers went in; not all of them came out alive. Drawing on hundreds of interviews and thousands of documents collected over five years of reporting, award-winning writer Neil Swidey takes us deep into the lives of the divers, engineers, politicians, lawyers, and investigators involved in the tragedy and its aftermath, creating a taut, action-packed narrative. The climax comes just after the hard-partying DJ Gillis and his friend Billy Juse trade assignments as they head into the tunnel, sentencing one of them to death. An intimate portrait of the wreckage left in the wake of lives lost, the book—which Dennis Lehane calls extraordinary and compares with The Perfect Storm—is also a morality tale. What is the true cost of these large-scale construction projects, as designers and builders, emboldened by new technology and pressured to address a growing population’s rapacious needs, push the limits of the possible? This is a story about human risk—how it is calculated, discounted, and transferred—and the institutional failures that can lead to catastrophe. Suspenseful yet humane, Trapped Under the Sea reminds us that behind every bridge, tower, and tunnel—behind the infrastructure that makes modern life possible—lies unsung bravery and extraordinary sacrifice. |

| couch off road engineering: Chosen Soldier Dick Couch, 2008-03-25 An unprecedented view of Green Beret training, drawn from the year Dick Couch spent at Special Forces training facilities with the Army’s most elite soldiers. In combating terror, America can no longer depend on its conventional military superiority and the use of sophisticated technology. More than ever, we need men like those of the Army Special Forces–the legendary Green Berets. Following the experiences of one class of soldiers as they endure this physically and mentally exhausting ordeal, Couch spells out in fascinating detail the demanding selection process and grueling field exercises, the high-level technical training and intensive language courses, and the simulated battle problems that test everything from how well SF candidates gather operational intelligence to their skills at negotiating with volatile, often hostile, local leaders. Chosen Soldier paints a vivid portrait of an elite group, and a process that forges America’s smartest, most versatile, and most valuable fighting force. |

Wyglinski, Robin Getz, Travis Collins, Di Pu, 2018-04-30 Based on the popular Artech House classic, Digital Communication Systems Engineering with Software-Defined Radio, this book provides a practical approach to quickly learning the software-defined radio (SDR) concepts needed for work in the field. This up-to-date volume guides readers on how to quickly prototype wireless designs using SDR for real-world testing and experimentation. This book explores advanced wireless communication techniques such as OFDM, LTE, WLA, and hardware targeting. Readers will gain an understanding of the core concepts behind wireless hardware, such as the radio frequency front-end, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, as well as various processing technologies. Moreover, this volume includes chapters on timing estimation, matched filtering, frame synchronization message decoding, and source coding. The orthogonal frequency division multiplexing is explained and details about HDL code generation and deployment are provided. The book concludes with coverage of the WLAN toolbox with OFDM beacon reception and the LTE toolbox with downlink reception. Multiple case studies are provided throughout the book. Both MATLAB and Simulink source code are included to assist readers with their projects in the field. |
| couch off road engineering: A Cross by the Road Jane Quint, 2010-01-19 This true story begins with a mothers terrifying dream that foretold the accidental death of her adult son. She continued to have subtle premonitions that she didnt understand until it was too late. When her son died as the dream predicted, she was riddled with guilt at not having been able to save him. These premonitions raised tormenting questions about their source, purpose, and meaning. They propelled her on a journey through grief that followed every path from scientific theories to psychic communications with the spirit world. It was a lonely quest in a culture impatient with grief and dismissive of premonitions. In the end, it was through writing her story that she found healing. A cross still remains at the T-intersection of two county roads, still reminding passers-by of the vibrant young life that was snuffed out one summer day long ago. We often notice these small white crosses along roadways as we speed by. Draped with wilted flowers and faded ribbons, they stand in mute testimony to tragedies we try to ignore. They remind us that life can end in an instant. |

| couch off road engineering: Phoenix in the Middle of the Road J.R. Bale, 2015-09 Five-star reviews all around. On this political thriller, one reviewer writes, Bale captures the deceits of politics on all levels. The local political angle morphs into national and then to an ominous, terrifying, startling state of affairs. Phoenix is an excellent read. Another writes, This sweeping tale of corruption and ambition cuts across the landscape of Washington, DC to reveal a picture of its intricate political, diplomatic, and social worlds. This timely novel unfolds as David Grant, a former entrepreneur, is propelled into a sea of partisan politics, unscrupulous lobbyists, secret alliances, and corruption. Running for Congress as an Independent ultimately leads him into an unexpected conflict with the President of the United States himself. Grant's greatest trial comes when a constitutional crisis thrusts him into a precarious position, which might save the country, yet destroy all he cares about. |

| couch off road engineering: Solve for Happy Mo Gawdat, 2017-03-21 In this “powerful personal story woven with a rich analysis of what we all seek” (Sergey Brin, cofounder of Google), Mo Gawdat, Chief Business Officer at Google’s [X], applies his superior logic and problem solving skills to understand how the brain processes joy and sadness—and then he solves for happy. In 2001 Mo Gawdat realized that despite his incredible success, he was desperately unhappy. A lifelong learner, he attacked the problem as an engineer would: examining all the provable facts and scrupulously applying logic. Eventually, his countless hours of research and science proved successful, and he discovered the equation for permanent happiness. Thirteen years later, Mo’s algorithm would be put to the ultimate test. After the sudden death of his son, Ali, Mo and his family turned to his equation—and it saved them from despair. In dealing with the horrible loss, Mo found his mission: he would pull off the type of “moonshot” goal that he and his colleagues were always aiming for—he would share his equation with the world and help as many people as possible become happier. In Solve for Happy Mo questions some of the most fundamental aspects of our existence, shares the underlying reasons for suffering, and plots out a step-by-step process for achieving lifelong happiness and enduring contentment. He shows us how to view life through a clear lens, teaching us how to dispel the illusions that cloud our thinking; overcome the brain’s blind spots; and embrace five ultimate truths. No matter what obstacles we face, what burdens we bear, what trials we’ve experienced, we can all be content with our present situation and optimistic about the future. |
