The book of Genesis consists of two parts. Part 1 (chapters 111) is the Creation, beginning with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Subsequently, an expanding population from Adam and Eve turned wicked and got slated for destruction. The Lord chose a flood as the means by which it was to be destroyed. The Lord found righteousness in a man named Noah and exempted him and his family from the destruction. The Lord instructed Noah to build an ark to withstand the flood and to place in the ark a male and female of every type of living creature. The people that went aboard the ark were Noah; his wife; his three sons, Ham, Shem, and Japeth; and their wives. Nine generations after Noah, through the line of Shem, came Abram (Abraham), which began part 2 of Genesis, the patriarchal history (chapters 1250). Only the first three commentaries deal with part 1. Commentaries 4 through 16 all deal with part 2. Commentaries 4 through 7 cover the period from when Abraham left his fathers house until his grandson Jacob leaves home to seek a wife among his mothers people. Commentary 8 lays out in detail the well-known confusion in the multiplicity in naming of Esaus three wives. No commentary or suggestion is offered for that confusion. It is what it is. Commentary 9 discusses and comments on the eerie similarities in the accounts of Abraham and Isaac trying to pass off their respective wives as their sisters both for safety and political advantage. Commentaries 10 through 16 cover the events in Jacobs life until its end at age of 147. He died in Egypt, after having his family brought there by his prodigious son, Joseph, to save the family from a famine in Canaan.

THE PHYSICAL PRINCIPLES OF ROCK MAGNETISM ...

"Basic experimental parameters associated with using laser speckle correlation fringes to measure in-plane strain have been investigated. Equations and inequalities are derived which provide bounding numbers for many of the physical parameters. The feasibility of employing this technique for obtaining in-plane strain data in a microscopic region is shown. This suggests that it may be applicable for studying strain distributions in the vicinity of either a crack or an interference fit fastener." -- Abstract.

For anyone who has experienced a significant loss, this wonderfully informative and accessible book is a guide to understanding and overcoming grief. The death of someone close -- a familiy member, spouse, or partner -- can result in feelings of overwhelming grief. At the same time, society unrealistically expects people to recover from grief as quickly as possible. I Can''t Stop Crying looks at grieving as a painful but necessary process. The authors emphasize the importance of giving permission to grieve and suggest steps for rebuiliding life without the one who is gone. They also look at how such a loss affects relationships with family and friends, as well as lifestyle, work habits, and hopes for the future. The book includes an appendix with bereavement groups, resources, and other self-help organizations for grievers.

This book brings the reader to the frontiers of research in some topics in superalgebras and symbolic method in invariant theory. Superalgebras are algebras containing positively-signed and negatively-signed variables. One of the book''s major results is an extension of the standard basis theorem to superalgebras. This extension requires a rethinking of some basic concepts of linear algebra, such as matrices and coordinate systems, and may lead to an extension of the entire apparatus of linear algebra to ``signed'''' modules. The authors also present the symbolic method for the invariant theory of symmetric and of skew-symmetric tensors. In both cases, the invariants are obtained from the symbolic representation by applying what the authors call the umbral operator. This operator can be used to systematically develop anticommutative analogs of concepts of algebraic geometry, and such results may ultimately turn out to be the main byproduct of this investigation. While it will be of special interest to mathematicians and physicists doing research in superalgebras, invariant theory, straightening algorithms, Young bitableaux, and Grassmann''s calculus of extension, the book starts from basic principles and should therefore be accessible to those who have completed the standard graduate level courses in algebra and/or combinatorics.

Extensively revised, reorganized, and expanded, the third edition of the industry standard, The Lipid Handbook reflects many of the changes in lipid science and technology that have occurred in the last decade. It places a stronger emphasis on the nutritional, medical, and agricultural aspects of lipids to reflect the increased interest and research in these areas in the past 10 years and beyond. This edition features updated chapters and expanded coverage, including additional compounds to its dictionary. Written by experts from a diverse range of fields, many of whom have contributed new research in the areas under review, this handbook remains an essential reference.

Freeways that are already operating at or near capacity are becoming more congested because of frequent incidents such as accidents, disabled vehicles, etc. In an effort to initiate an incident management program in Virginia, information from other states concerning incident management techniques was obtained for the purpose of helping understand the nature of the problem along with ways of combating it. suggestions for the initiation of a program are also presented.

This book by globally recognized Pentecostal scholar Frank Macchia brings an incarnational and a Spirit Christology together in fresh, groundbreaking ways. Drawing from both classical and contemporary sources, Jesus the Spirit Baptizer probes the fundamental connection between the person of Christ and the Holy Spirit, arguing that Christology properly explicates Jesus as the one who bears the Spirit so as to impart the Spirit to all flesh.

Because of the number of incidents and the magnitude of their consequences, the Virginia Department of transportation made a concerted effort to ensure that incident management became a top priority and spearheaded an effort to start a statewide incident management program. This report documents that program. This program was concerned with the coordination of programs involved in preventing incidents and those concerned with detecting, responding to, and clearing incidents after they occur. Formal incident management programs in three large urban areas in addition to other efforts by the VIrginia Department of''l.''ransportation, the VIrginia State Police, and Fairfax County are summarized. The documentation contained herein can be used to aid other states in developing incident management programs.
