Po Yun) อาชญากรรม(รัก)ในม่านเมฆ (6เล่มจบ) #นิยายแปลจีนวายแนวปัจจุบัน #BL #สืบสวนสอบสวน #ไขคดี #ตำรวจ #พั่วอวิ๋น #PoYun #แก๊งค้ายาเสพติด In thinking of how to best share the story of the race behind Breaking Through The Clouds, I felt it was important to be as accurate as possible, showing how ordinary people can be extraordinary.In today’s media world, so many stories are enhanced and sensationalized for supposed dramatic effect.This story doesn’t need any sensationalizing.The courage and strength each pilot demonstrated by facing daily challenges whether it was mechanical, societal, or their own individual pressures is dramatic in its own right.Their vulnerability and “failures” is part of their charm. readerz @Rilise @Regalia1896 @Raneday @Raizendeville @Rabbitanairy @rainbowturtle @Ryss @Rurella @Rucce @RoseColouredSin @Rainess09 Po Yun es, oíganme bien, la mejor novela de crimen que he leído en mi vida. La trama es una delicia. Y, ah, cuando al fin lees el pasado de Jiang Ting, todo te hace clic. Aeli @aNonYm0U5 @azure_sea @Ami @Ashie @ahsudole @Ash Astin @AaronKing @aresk @Anra7777 @AimieNam1003

I've said before I'm not a fan of good guys, but with this, it sparked my interest. Yan Xie in this case, is the good guy. He's all these things, but he's also a cop. A no nonsense cop. He doesn't tolerance anything out of line, and he just can't help yelling at his subordinates to do the same. But Joanne was stubborn. She sold her boat. She flew her last flight. She saved her money so that she could study clouds. She worked so hard and discovered so much that—despite what the professors said—she received a doctorate in meteorology. She was the first woman in the world to do so. After the first two arcs, the rest of the story focuses on the police trying to take down the King of Spades and figuring out who his moles are within the police. Along the way, we learn the full story behind JT's relationship with him. At times it was a bit hard to follow since there are so many names and references to previous incidents, but there were some thrilling twists along the way and the reader is constantly kept guessing who is helping which side. I had trouble putting the book down and had a couple of late nights because I was so drawn into the story that I couldn't stop reading.Overall I think this is a great biography of a woman worth knowing about, and interestingly covers the science of meteorology in an age-appropriate way.

Y mi TingTing. 🥺❤️‍🩹 Ay, Jiang Ting, quién no se volvería loco por él. Amé cómo al final expresaba tan abiertamente sus sentimientos por Yan Xie. ♡ Fui la más feliz leyendo su boda (yo debí haber sido la niña de las flores). Who among us hasn't spent time as a child laying in the grass, looking up at the sky and gazing at the clouds floating by? I know I have and so did young Joanne Simpson. For Joanne, the cloud watching offered an a respite from her mother's cold, harsh words, criticizing her for being so stubborn. But, it was that stubbornness that carried Joanne through to achieve her dream of studying clouds. Attending college at the University of Chicago finally gave her a real escape from her mother, and just before WWII, famed meteorologist Carl-Gustaf Rossby arrived in the US and taught Joanne enough about weather to allow her to teach officers about it for the war effort. While there certainly were cries that women shouldn't fly during this time, the story of the derby is much deeper and more significant than being female and racing.Instead of listening to those who said it couldn’t be done, these ambitious pilots chose to find a way by joining forces, collaborating, and creating a community to support the industry and each other.The fact that twenty ordinary young women could accomplish extraordinary achievements through their own convictions and passion is a lesson we can learn from today. When Joanne Simpson (1923-2010) was a girl, she sailed her boat beneath the puffy white clouds of Cape Cod. As a pilot, she flew her plane so high, its wings almost touched them. And when World War II began and Joanne moved to the University of Chicago, a professor asked her to teach Air Force officers about those very clouds and the weather-changing winds.my personal opinion: i never actually believe he would betray YX. JT was too fishy, he deliberately gave a way for YX to escape. Despite growing up in a family of pilots and spending countless hours at local airports, Heather was amazed to learn as an adult that there was an entire community of female pilots who were contemporaries of Amelia Earhart. That omission of women's history set her on a new path to discover more. Following the advice of author Toni Morrison who said, "if there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it,"Heather gathered the courage to leave her corporate job and created her production company Archetypal Images, LLC. Part of her mission is to capture and harness the light that comes alive in peoples’ eyes when they find inspiration and through example, encourage others to seek it for themselves. The women portrayed in Breaking Through the Clouds: The First Women’s National Air Derby are perfect role models for this objective. As soon as the war ended, Joanne decided to seriously study the clouds she had grown to love so much. Her professors laughed. They told her to go home. They told her she was no longer needed. They told her, "No woman ever got a doctorate in meteorology. And no woman ever will."

In fact, at least in my area, I’m quite certain the women outnumber the men. That wasn’t the case before Joanne Simpson, who in 1949 stubbornly fought for the right to become the first woman in the world to earn the title of doctor of meteorology. Unfortunately, even after earning the degree, because she was a woman, she didn’t have the respect of her fellow meteorologists. She was forced to continually fight for the freedom to conduct in depth research in the study of clouds, her area of expertise. Thanks to her persistence, she finally succeeded in breaking down the barriers and completed her cloud model. This study led to a new branch of science which helps scientists make the predictions we take for granted today: Will it be partly sunny today? Will we have snow showers in the afternoon? Will we have blue skies tomorrow?
