The Ultimate Con Man For years, Henry Manning was the best bank robber in the business. Pulling off dozens of ingenious heists with seamless precision, Henry was finally caught when he collapsed in a bank vault during one of his hold-ups. Now a near-vegetable, Henry, paralyzed by a stroke, sits in a nursing home awaiting his transfer to a prison hospital. The Perfect Crime Carol McKay, Henry''s round-the-clock nurse at the home, thinks that prison officials, doctors, and the nursing home staff are all being taken for a ride.She''s pretty sure that Henry is faking it-and she''s determined to find out. Henry''s pretty good at playing the catatonic stroke victim-until Carol takes him picnicking and dumps his wheelchair into a lake. Forced to swim to safety, Henry''s game is up. Until Carol has a crazy plan to take part in the ultimate bank heist-one that could make them both filthy rich...or send them both up the river for good. It All Seemed Too Easy-And It Was...

Policy makers in Pittsburgh, Birmingham and Rotterdam are confronted with rapidly changing social and economic environments. Public and private sector organizations in the three cities are increasingly addressing regional issues strategically and joining together in partnerships to promote competitiveness and economic growth. Local communities are linking to regional economies as companies restructure and strategy makers recognise the benefits of urban regeneration as an important condition for economic prosperity. Thise study covers the complexities of modern governance under such circumstances, the diversity and patterning of public private partnerships and networks and the changing economic development strategies of city governments and regional and local organizations.

The goal of this work is to appeal to both the scientific and engineering communities through the purposeful integration of sensors, models, and controls technology to develop a comprehensive thermoset nanocomposite materials processing system with in situ dielectric characterization and electric-field directed morphology capabilities. This may, in turn, provide a systematic path towards a better scientific understanding of nanocomposite dielectric materials, as well as novel methods relevant to feedback process control strategies for next generation nanocomposite materials. A nanocomposite material process control system incorporating online impedance spectroscopy, automated environmental control (temperature and pressure), and electric-field actuation into a modular and extensible control platform is designed and used to investigate thermoset nanocomposite dielectric materials. Specifically, this work emphasizes the development of online sensing based on impedance spectroscopy (1Hz to 1MHz) to detect in situ material properties and features related to charge transport, morphology, and molecular dynamics (across a wide range of length-scales) that evolve during nanocomposite processing. This system also features the unique ability to actuate nanocomposite materials using applied AC electric fields. This control affects the statistical alignment of nano-particles through electrophoretic forces induced on the particle interfacial surfaces, thereby directing material morphology (i.e., rotational alignment of nanofiller along the applied electric-field direction) which can subsequently be "locked in" upon thermoset crosslinking. Although the techniques developed here are applicable to a wide range of nanocomposite and dielectric materials, the subclass of organically-modified layered-silicate thermosets is used as the model system for development. Demonstration of the thermoset process control system is established through key experiments performed to investigate effects of nanoclay loading, impact of excess nanoclay surface modifier (i.e., excess surfactant); ionic conductivity cure monitoring; and thermoset morphologies. Directed morphology using electric-field actuation is exercised and a simple dielectric analysis is provided. This effort may have significant impact on existing impedance-related sensing techniques, such as dielectric cure monitoring, by enabling access to material states and properties that were previously unobservable. Equally important is the foundation this technology may provide for the development and discovery of more sophisticated nanocomposite material process control methods. Novel control architectures based on morphology sensing may facilitate the ability to harness the processing techniques required for future advancement of materials and devices with all of the performance-enhancing properties afforded by nanocomposites.

"Historical experience shows that disruptions in credit markets can have a material impact on activity and inflation. However, it is hard to measure such effects owing to the difficulty in isolating credit supply shocks. This paper employs survey data to identify the impact of credit supply shocks in Australia over the past three decades, using a structural vector autoregression approach."--Abstract.

A biography of one of the most famous film comedians of the twentieth century who contributed greatly to the art of filmmaking both as a performer and as a director.

An ornery swarm of cross-bred bees unleash a chemical into the air when they sting, stirring the other bees into a sting-happy frenzy. Now the bees have gotten a whiff of a local factory''s smoke, which smells like stinger juice to them. Their next stop is the local drive-in theater where an all-night horror show will be on.
