All aboard the airship Atet and full steam towards the ancient pyramids of Giza in the second hugely inventive, action-packed, fun and quirky – and occasionally dark – adventure in the Prometheus High series! A frantic rooftop race. Alchemy lessons on a zeppelin. A booby-trapped pyramid . . . Just the start of semester two at Prometheus High. Athena and Marceline are going to extreme lengths to unearth Marceline's past - if their foolhardy plans don't get them expelled. Godfrey's lonely without his friends, so when Emily asks him for a favour he's eager to help. But is her request all that it seems? Meanwhile, no one has noticed the threat growing on the airship Atet, as an ancient monster of unsurpassed power and fury is about to awaken . . .

Ray's small world is about to get a whole lot bigger. With his busy, regimented routines and affinity for drawing, his autism and Tourette's syndrome don't bother him. What really starts troubling Ray is what goes on behind closed doors? What hides within four walls? And what lurks beneath the river? How will he cope seeing things differently?

A poetry collection that employs intuition, humor, and celebration while seeking to break out of restrictive social structures. Mary Wilson's Both, Apollo speaks from inside the bodies and binaries that so often act as constraints. It sometimes tries to negotiate its way out. It laments, celebrates, reasons, jokes, and occasionally begs. It runs into a wall and hugs it, offers it pizza, and speeds through grammars and cities until dizziness catapults it from the grid. It tries to queer the echoes of its language in the hope that a rhyme might break the logic of "either/or" and give rise to "both/and." Both, Apollo is a love poem to whatever has the grace to appear, quietly finding hope. Moments of humor and tenderness accompany the speaker with each act of crossing and circling back. The poems in Both, Apollo are constantly in flux, and Wilson's lyricism acts as a teaching tool for using both the real and the imagination to guide us in moment-by-moment navigation of our world. Both, Apollo won the Omnidawn Chapbook contest, selected by Victoria Chang.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems, MODELS 2011, held in Wellington, New Zealand, in October 2011. The papers address a wide range of topics in research (foundations track) and practice (applications track). For the first time a new category of research papers, vision papers, are included presenting „outside the box“ thinking. The foundations track received 167 full paper submissions, of which 34 were selected for presentation. Out of these, 3 papers were vision papers. The application track received 27 submissions, of which 13 papers were selected for presentation. The papers are organized in topical sections on model transformation, model complexity, aspect oriented modeling, analysis and comprehension of models, domain specific modeling, models for embedded systems, model synchronization, model based resource management, analysis of class diagrams, verification and validation, refactoring models, modeling visions, logics and modeling, development methods, and model integration and collaboration.
