Short Shorts and Shorts: Volume 1 (illustrated) by Stephen Mark Richards Illustrated by Joyce Richards Some stories in this book are suitable for young children but you should be aware that some stories contain violent scenes and some limited use of swear words. Here are the opening lines of the first two stories. REFLECTIONS: ''All the young people, children and teenagers, all that is except for me, loved that time of year, the third week in September, when Joe Sowerby''s Circus came to town.'' TRENDY: ''When Shirley Stokes, an attractive young mother, moved into number 4 with her new baby everyone was overjoyed. Everyone that is, except Kay Powell.''

Mark L. Richards''s Legions of the Forest painstakingly crafted the world of AD 9 under the Roman Empire. He invites you back to ancient Europe in his sequel, Return of the Eagles. In the Teutoburg Forest, three Roman legions are ambushed and killed under the orders of Arminius, the leader of a united confederation of German tribes. It is a political disaster for Rome and a personal one for Tribune Valerius Maximus and Centurion Marcellus Veronus, two of the few survivors of the attack. Both are given an opportunity to take their revenge on the barbarians. It''s an opportunity given by Germanicus Caesar, a rising star of the empire and nephew to Emperor Tiberius. As Germanicus begins raising an army, Valerius immerses himself in the German language and customs, and Marcellus trains soldiers in the ways of their enemies. While Valerius and Marcellus understand the ambush tactics of their adversaries, many of the army''s senior leadership underestimate the barbarian tribes. Valerius and Marcellus are not the same men they were in Legions of the Forest. Will their newfound experience, strength, and spirit be enough to lead Rome to victory? Or will they once again fall prey to the German barbarians?

In this dissertation we consider the valuation of discretely monitored barrier options under the in nite element method. The in nite element method is an extension to the standard nite element method that accepts problems with unbounded spacial domains (such as the Black-Scholes PDE), without resorting to domain truncation. The degeneracy of the Black-Scholes PDE when the underlying asset reaches zero, requires that the method be formulated within the context of weighted Sobolev spaces. We will demonstrate the convergence of the proposed method and provide a rigorous investigation into the underlying weighted Sobolev spaces in which the convergence is to be demonstrated.

Observation is the basis of knowledge in both the arts and the sciences. We are not born with all the tools and formal skills required to make sense of the world but rather, wedevelop these skills over time. For over 50 years, psychologists have known that these skills develop in stages during childhood but until now there has been little in the way of book-based education to support this crucial aspect of child development. At last, in Holly Marie, we have the tools to enable our children to develop their understanding of the world. Why should we make our children wait to learn incidentally when we can show them how to better understand the world around them.

This book was prompted by the successful completion of an epic journey around America and the publication of three books: Tornado Spring; Wild Summer and Desert Winter which document the author''s adventures. Conquering America brings together these three books to present, for the first time, the entire adventure in a single volume. Inspiration was found in both urban and natural settings, through encounters with people, animals and environments. This created interactions that were at times exciting and interesting, and at others sad, joyous or downright terrifying. Throughout, the author relates events to the political world and his intimate past. He provides fascinating insights from the view of a stranger who discovers an America which is often at odds with its image. His open-minded approach sheds light on a culture and a country of which every American should feel proud. Visit AmpUrLife.com for more information.

Wärmetransport durch Schutzbekleidung bei symmetrischer und asymmetrischer langwelliger Wärmestrahlung Arbeitskleidung, die zum Schutz vor chemischen, biologischen, mechanischen oder thermischen Gefährdungen getragen wird, stellt für den Nutzer eine zusätzliche thermische Belastung dar. Zum einen steigern ihr Gewicht und ihre Steifi gkeit die metabolische Wärmeproduktion während der Arbeit, gleichzeitig behindern ihre erhöhte Wärmeisolation und ihr Wasserdampfwiderstand die für die Abkühlung des Körpers essentielle Schweißverdunstung. Die Generierung von Daten und Modellen zur adäquaten Berücksichtigung dieser thermischen Eigenschaften von Schutzkleidung bei der Bewertung von Klimabelastungen war Gegenstand des von der EU geförderten Projektes THERMPROTECT (G6RD-CT-2002-00846). Heizbare anthropometrische Dummys, sog. Thermopuppen zur standardisierten Messung von Bekleidungsisolation und Wasserdampfwiderstand, wurden zur validen und reliablen Registrierung der Wärmeabgabe mit Schutzbekleidung unter dem Einfl uss von Feuchte und Wärmestrahlung eingesetzt. Dieser Beitrag vergleicht die Körpererwärmung durch symmetrische und asymmetrische langwellige Wärmestrahlung gleicher Strahlungsintensität (279 W/m2) in Relation zu einer Referenzbedingung, in der die mittlere Strahlungstemperatur der Lufttemperatur entsprach, für prototypische Arbeitsbekleidungen mit unterschiedlichen Refl exionsgraden und Wärmeisolationen. Mit einer Thermopuppe, bei der die unbekleideten Hände, Füße und der Kopf durch Aluminiumfolie gegen die Strahlung abgeschirmt waren, wurde die Wärmeabgabe für Oberbekleidungen aus Baumwolle und schwer entfl ammbarer Aramidfaser (Nomex®) in verschiedenen Farben sowie für einen mit Aluminium beschichteten refl ektierenden Anzug ermittelt. Die Messungen erfolgten mit einer Polypropylen- sowie einer Woll-Unterwäsche, wodurch eine Variation der intrinsischen Wärmeisolation der Gesamtbekleidung zwischen 1.1 und 1.6 clo erzielt wurde. Um neben dem trockenen, d. h. dem kombinierten konvektiven, konduktiven und radiativen Wärmefl uss auch die Evaporation zu berücksichtigen, wurden zusätzliche Versuche mit befeuchteter Woll-Unterwäsche durchgeführt. Die Erwärmung der Thermopuppe durch Wärmestrahlung wurde als Differenz der unter der Referenz- und Wärmestrahlungsbedingung gemessenen Wärmeabgabe für die gesamte bekleidete Oberfl äche sowie einzelne Körperareale berechnet.

Java Message Service, Second Edition, is a thorough introduction to the standard API that supports "messaging" -- the software-to-software exchange of crucial data among network computers. You''ll learn how JMS can help you solve many architectural challenges, such as integrating dissimilar systems and applications, increasing scalability, eliminating system bottlenecks, supporting concurrent processing, and promoting flexibility and agility. Updated for JMS 1.1, this second edition also explains how this vendor-agnostic specification will help you write messaging-based applications using IBM''s MQ, Progress Software''s SonicMQ, ActiveMQ, and many other proprietary messaging services. With Java Message Service, you will: Build applications using point-to-point and publish-and-subscribe messaging models Use features such as transactions and durable subscriptions to make an application reliable Implement messaging within Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) using message-driven beans Use JMS with RESTful applications and with the Spring application framework Messaging is a powerful paradigm that makes it easier to uncouple different parts of an enterprise application. Java Message Service, Second Edition, will quickly teach you how to use the key technology that lies behind it.

The A Practical Approach series is the perfect partner for practice work.
