A Field Guide To Dinosaurs: The Essential Handbook For Travelers In The Mesozoic is a book written by British paleontologist and evolutionary biologist Henry Gee, an editor of Nature, and illustrated by Luis Rey. It describes hypothetical behaviours, sexual dimorphism colors and habitats of Mesozoic Animals, mostly Dinosaurs. The book is written for young readers, and was published by Barron's Educational Series in 2003, ISBN 978-0764155116. Due to its speculation on hypothetical matters, the author states in the introduction, "One thing must be made clear from the start: this is a work of fiction."

Speculative species
The book also speculates on certain species of prehistoric life whose existence isn't supported by any evidence, but theoretically could have existed due to the low chance of any species being fossilized.
* Unidentified Common Ancestor of Ceratosaurus.
* Unidentified Common Ancestor of Allosaurus.
* Praefasciola brachiosauri, a fluke that spends part of its life cycle in the body of Ornitholestes before being transmitted to that of a Brachiosaurus via the (also fictional) fly Luisreya ginsbergi.
* Luisreya ginsbergi, a blood-sucking fly that feeds from the nasal passages of dinosaurs. It transmits the (fictional) fluke Praefasciola brachiosauri from Ornitholestes to Brachiosaurus. The name clearly states the fictional existance for it is named after the illustrator of the book itself, Luis Rey.
* Chthonosuchus lethi, an ocean-going crocodile that is shown attacking a Suchomimus.
* Egovenator, a dromaeosaurid that is shown attacking three Beipiaosaurus.
* Tyrannosaurus helcaraxae, a woolly hadrosaur-hunting species of Tyrannosaurus that lived in Alaska that is rumored to be extremely large even by Tyrannosaurus standards.
* Ronaldoraptor, an oviraptorid, shown compared to Oviraptor. Although its name is fictional, its presence is based on that of an yet unnamed oviraptorid species.

Raghu Dhara is an eight grader attending Hopkins Junior High School in Fremont, CA. He is one of the youngest winners of the National Science Bowl, his team winning first place when he was in seventh grade.
Raghu Dhara was born on January 12, 1996 to parents of notable academic merit. From an early age, he showed interest and curiosity in learning about the world around him. By the age 4, he could read chapter books. He sailed through elementary and middle school with flying colors, accumulating over 75 awards and certificates by the age of 13, including scholarships, Congressional awards, medals and trophies from AMC, CML, National Science Bowl, and many others.
In 2009, Raghu's team took first place in the National Middle School Science Bowl. In 2010, Raghu returned as Hopkin's team captain to defeat 35 other schools in the regional competition. His team, coached by Paul Ricks, , will attend nationals in late April.
When Raghu grows up, he wants to be a neuro-cardiosurgeon. He also wishes to join Doctors Without Borders, a charitable organization that offers medical aid to the needy.

Teens Run Modesto is a non-profit organization founded by Modesto High School Student Jamasen Rodriguez and Juvenile Court Judge Linda McFadden in early June of 2009. TRM works with at-risk children. Two of its first major events involved NASA astronaut Jose Hernández, who spoke at a fund-raising dinner and fired the starting pistol for its inaugural marathon.. TRM's mission statement involves getting teenagers to set goals involving a healthier lifestyle while preparing for fun runs.
History
Teens Run Modesto original website was called www.runmodesto.com . Teens Run Modesto is coordinated by Shadowchase Members Mike Araiza and Heidi Ryan and the Site leaders of all the participating schools. Through the TRM program, teenagers can earn physical education credits and shoes with educators seeing success. Its first-ever event was open to the public and provided a full marathon, half marathon, and 5K running events while promoting physical fitness and a healthy life-style. The inaugural marathon was won by Jon Olsen who is a teacher at Prescott Elementary School in Modesto, California. The first annual marathon attracted thousands of people with CBS 13's Alan Sanchez covering the event. Proceeds from the pledged donations will benefit the Teens Run Modesto program. A major sponsor of Teens Run Modesto is Surgical Artistry which is a medical group who became involved because its organization supports healthy living. $500 in start-up costs was pledged by ShadowCase Running Club which is another non-profit organization that promotes fitness related activities in the greater Modesto area.
Site Leaders
The following is a list of participating schools and their representatives:
(Modesto City Schools)
Davis High School:
Bridgit Asuncion
John Souza
Kimberly Cloud
Beyer High School:
Ed Jackson
Prescott Senior Elementary:
John Olson

FLOXCOM is an acronym of FLight Obstacles and eXtreme COndition Monitoring Software. FLOXCOM was designed to meet specific needs in prelimenary design of the aircraft takeoff and initial climb.
FLOXCOM is a freeware software tool for solving an aircraft equation of motion in 2D.
The program implements a modified Krenkel and Salzman approach firstly published in 1968 AIAA paper and mentioned in the work of Sean Lynn .
System of ordinary differential equation is solved by adaptive Fifth Order Runge - Kutta method.
The program performs analysis either for normal takeoff or one engine inoperative (OEI) or for both of them. The program can be used in the preliminary design phase or as an initial predictor of an aircraft performance during different operating conditions. The program includes thrust vectoring capability and thrust variation with velocity.
