Mirsonia: Rise of the Dragon Rider
No full textMirsonia: Rise of the Dragon Rider
Stephen P. Pashia’s short story explores the emotional aftermath of war through the lens of fantasy. Mirsonia, a decorated dragon rider and commander, is forced into recovery after a devastating injury sustained in battle. As she heals in the quiet village of Nimbleton, she confronts the psychological toll of combat—grief, guilt, and the loss of control. Through her bond with her dragon Onyxia and the unexpected wisdom of rural life, Mirsonia begins to reconcile her past and rediscover her strength. The story blends high fantasy with themes of PTSD, resilience, and the transformative power of empathy, offering a poignant reflection on what it truly means to lead
Investing Hysteresis in Floodplain Dynamics of Lakes in the Middle St. Johns River Using Sentinel-1 SAR Imagery
No full textFloodplain dynamics are often complex, with hysteresis potentially affecting the temporal relationship between flood stage and flood extent during subsequent inundation phases. This study leverages Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery to map flood extent in the Middle St. Johns River Lake floodplains and examine the presence of hysteresis during flood events. SAR scenes corresponding to river gauge readings were analyzed from the rising and falling limbs of a flood hydrograph. By comparing these flood maps, we assess differences in inundated areas at equivalent water levels during each stage of the flood event. The findings aim to enhance flood monitoring systems by improving flood extent mapping throughout changing water levels, which is crucial for accurate flood forecasting and effective response planning. Our results indicate that hysteresis in this region is primarily governed by topography and channel connectivity, where the floodplain geomorphology and tributary drainage to lakes lead to acceleration in drainage from the floodplain to the lake during the falling limb when comparing inundation extent to the rising limb at similar water levels. Among the three floodplains studied, Lake Jesup displayed the largest range of degrees of hysteresis (-0.03 to 0.32), followed by Lake Monroe (0.03 to 0.25) and Lake Harney (0.02 to 0.22). The differing ranges of degrees of hysteresis are attributed to unique lake-river connectivity and floodplain topography
Between Shadows and Dreams
No full textThis story follows Valentina Torres, a 15-year-old girl living in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, who grapples with self-worth and the pressures of being underestimated. Val has always felt small in a world that seems to favor the louder, more visible individuals. Raised by hard-working parents, Val learns the value of determination and education. Despite the challenges of balancing school, work, and family responsibilities, Val maintains a deep sense of justice that often gets her into conflict with others, especially with Mia Perez, a popular but cruel classmate. After enduring a series of insults from Mia, Val finally confronts her in a public moment of self-empowerment, demonstrating that true success lies not in external validation but in the impact one makes on others. Through this confrontation, Val realizes that her worth is defined by her values and the love of her family, not by the opinions of others
