Without fail, every relationship encounters offenses that threaten unity. When we do not forgive, we open the door of our hearts to anger and bitterness - toxic emotions that destroy healthy living. This is like carrying around a heavy stone, which grows harder to do as time goes on. When we finally choose forgiveness, we drop the burden we were carrying and are free.There are many incorrect teachings about forgiveness, including that we must forget an offense when we forgive, or that forgiveness is the same as reconciliation. This book addresses those misconceptions - in addition to providing guidance for successfully forgiving others, processing unpleasant memories that hinder forgiveness, and strengthening our ability to reconcile with others.Help your family practice forgiveness and implement reconciliation with the help of relevant Bible verses, supportive teachings, and captivating stories in this outstanding book.

This book is designed to introduce the reader to the field of NMR/MRI at very low magnetic fields, from milli-Tesla to micro-Tesla, the ultra-low field (ULF) regime. The book is focused on applications to imaging the human brain, and hardware methods primarily based upon pre-polarization methods and SQUID-based detection. The goal of the text is to provide insight and tools for the reader to better understand what applications are best served by ULF NMR/MRI approaches. A discussion of the hardware challenges, such as shielding, operation of SQUID sensors in a dynamic field environment, and pulsed magnetic field generation are presented. One goal of the text is to provide the reader a framework of understanding the approaches to estimation and mitigation of low signal-to-noise and long imaging time, which are the main challenges. Special attention is paid to the combination of MEG and ULF MRI, and the benefits and challenges presented by trying to accomplish both with the same hardware. The book discusses the origin of unique relaxation contrast at ULF, and special considerations for image artifacts and how to correct them (i.e. concomitant gradients, ghost artifacts). A general discussion of MRI, with special consideration to the challenges of imaging at ULF and unique opportunities in pulse sequences, is presented. The book also presents an overview of some of the primary applications of ULF NMR/MRI being pursued.
