Arthas: Rise of the Lich King Book 13

The book is set over an extended period and has many duplicate scenes from other works, including Tides of Darkness, Beyond the Dark Portal, Day of the Dragon, Reign of Chaos, The Frozen Throne, and Wrath of the Lich King. However, while the scenes themselves remain the same, they are experienced from alternate viewpoints.


The story starts off with Arthas at age nine, in the period between the First and Second Wars, with Anduin Lothar and Varian Wrynn first arriving in Capital City bearing news of the fall of Stormwind. Arthas and Varian play together, though while Varian was trained to fight since childhood, Arthas was shielded from such teachings by his father. However, with Muradin Bronzebeard coming across Arthas fighting imaginary orcs while Alliance forces battle against the Horde on Draenor, Muradin volunteers to train him. Later, Arthas is caught up in Daval Prestor's attempt to marry Calia Menethil.


The love triangle between Arthas, Jaina Proudmoore, and Kael'thas Sunstrider is developed through the plot, Arthas and Jaina partaking in the festivities of Noblegarden, the Midsummer Fire Festival, Hallow's End, and the Feast of Winter Veil together. Later, as Arthas starts taking on the responsibilities of a prince, he visits Durnholde Keep, seeing Thrall fight other adversaries in the gladiator arena. Quel'Thalas is visited and high elven culture depicted. Eventually, he is inducted as a Knight of the Silver Hand in the Cathedral of Light.


Eventually, the Third War begins. The story covers Arthas and Jaina meeting Kel'Thuzad, Arthas calling Uther a traitor and dismissing him and the Knights of the Silver Hand from service for their refusal to aid in the Culling of Stratholme. In time, Arthas' search for vengeance leads him to Frostmourne, the (apparent) demise of Mal'Ganis, and the moments leading to and after the murder of King Terenas.

And remember its most splendid days, a conversation between some passionate tireless workers, who indulged in a ballistic calculations, and thought only to improve the weapons they already Avian created, but the absence of war, no a vow and put a plan in vain as some cause.

USB 1.x



USB 1.0 and 1.1
Hello fellow of Cyberspace, today I want to talk about USB 1.x let is start

Well for this we going to make a trip in time, to the last millennium and century to be precise the decade of 90. It is invented a new term USB, abbreviation of Universal Serial Bus, is one of the many initiatives of the time to standardize the ports that interact between computers and a whole range of peripherals and electronic devices. For example keyboards, digital cameras, printers, and a large etc. USB has supplanted a wide range of previous interfaces, such as serial ports and parallel ports, as well as separate power chargers for portable devices.
After this introduction we will see the specifications

Previous versions have been on the market sins 1990, but the change was not introduce until 1996 and was a USB 1.0 had a data rate of 1.5 Mbit / s and had two types of terminal that was A that is the famous rectangle and the B some kind of square. Due to its low speed it did not allow extensions or other modifications very few
However, in 1998 came the USB 1.1 that introduced the speed of 12 Mbit / s now this one was very well received, we can see the change in the printers or also the appearance of Legacy-free PC of Microsoft
Even though this may seem strange to us, but not many attempts were made to make smaller connectors there were a couple of attempts with type B but it was not specific and gave connection problems.
