The Self Help Guide to Living is a satirical look at self-help books, poking fun at the genre while hypocritically passing itself off as a self-help advice book. First and foremost, the book is about you. Understanding yourself, the world around you, and all the crazy stuff that happens to us. It''s about facing insecurity, dealing with problems. I dole out plenty of advice, mainly that I have no idea what I''m talking about and you shouldn''t take me seriously. The topics include love and relationships, family and friendships, fear, insecurity, religion and death. It''s all in there, every little nugget of wisdom you need to make your life better. Or maybe not. I really don''t know what I''m talking about.Self-help books are full of @%&! Everyone knows this. This book is not. Okay, maybe it is. But then again, maybe it isn''t. Perhaps it''s a profound source of humor and quality advice for understanding yourself and life''s journey.Meh, probably not. But it''s funny.....sort of.....I hope. I don''t know, just read it.

Fresh ideas are necessary throughout our day-to-day lives. From performing our jobs, to raising our children, to becoming a better person for our loved ones, or ourselves everything we do starts with an idea. But what do you do when you?re out of ideas? What do you do when you?re not feeling creative, energetic or inspired? International consultant, author, speaker and former LifeChurch.tv pastor Scott Williams lives by the mantra ?Everything Begins With An Idea.? In his newest book, Scott offers practical ways to come up with fresh ideas. With straightforward methods delivered in his engaging, easy-to-relate-to fashion, augmented by examples from his life, Scott details fifteen ways that will help you can come up with great ideas in 2015 and beyond. From where to search out fresh new notions, to setting up a routine that naturally fosters inspiration, this book shows you how easy it can be to ?ideate? all year long.

"This is one of the most important personal sketchbooks/design encyclopedias of the GOAT Stencil Pirate Godfather Scott Williams. Started in 1989 and just finished at the height of the first Covid 19 lockdown, when Williams was losing his eyesight to the point where he could no longer cut stencils, the book is a unique, exceptional, and stunning work of human book production; it’s an illuminated manuscript that rivals any other and a veritable kaleidoscope documenting the specific sunlight of the California Coast and the culture that sunlight seeded..." -- Booklyn website, viewed January 19, 2021.

Abstract: Many attempts to explain inequality in the Delta tautologically invoke "persistent poverty" as its root cause, obscuring the continuities between historical exploitation and industrial agriculture in the present day. In contrast, I argue that agro-industry in the Delta is productive of environmental and social injustice, and that this injustice is confronted by black agricultural practice. A careful historical exploration of agro-industrial development avoids historical disjuncture by emphasizing the continuity between injustice in the past and injustice in the present. Food insecurity and environmental toxins are produced along with the regions high yields of cotton, corn, rice and soybeans. Agro-industry presents obstacles to a more socially just agriculture in the Delta--land ownership is highly concentrated, aerial herbicide application kills adjacent vegetable crops and a disarticulated food system hinders marketing possibilities--while producing health and income inequalities. In this thesis, I explore the historical roots of contemporary injustices, showing that the dominance of a particular form of industrial agriculture in the Delta was hardly an inevitability of agricultural ''modernization''. Rather, industrial agriculture in the Delta was developed as a strategic technology of racial differentiation, political control, and economic exploitation. For this reason, the historical opposition of the agricultural development state to black independence shapes the technologies and distribution of environmental injustice in the present day.

Adjacent box beam bridges have a history of poor long-term performance including premature deterioration and failures. Leaking joints between box beams allow chloride-laden water to migrate through the superstructure and initiate corrosion. The nature of this deterioration leads to uncertainty of the extent and effect of deterioration on structural behavior. Due to limitations in previous research and understanding of the strength of deteriorated box beam bridges, conservative assumptions are made for the assessment and load rating of these bridges. Furthermore, the design of new box beam bridges, which can offer an efficient and economical solution, is often discouraged due to poor past performance. The objective of this research is to develop recommendations for inspection, load-rating, and design of adjacent box beam bridges. The research is presented in two volumes. Volume 1 focuses on the evolution of box beam design in Indiana to understand the lack of performance and durability. The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) standards and bridge design manuals were reviewed to track the historical development of box beam bridges in the State. Two timelines were produced tracking important updates to box beam design. Adjacent box beam bridges within INDOT''s bridge database were also analyzed. Superstructure ratings were compared with bridge age as well as bridge characteristics to highlight possible causes for deterioration. Analyzing the INDOT inventory, data shows that the condition of adjacent box beam bridges may be affected by location, type of wearing surface, and the use of deck membranes. Six bridges were then inspected to identify common deficiencies and specific problems. Exterior beams and beams within the wheel load path tend to have higher levels of deterioration. Furthermore, leaking joints between beams leads to corrosion of reinforcement, ultimately resulting in spalling, fracture of prestressing strands, and loss of structural capacity. Volume 2 focuses on evaluating the capacity of deteriorated adjacent box beams, the development of improved load rating procedures, and new box beam design. Through a series of bridge inspections, deteriorated box beams were identified and acquired for experimental testing. The extent of corrosion was determined through visual inspection, non-destructive evaluation, and destructive evaluation. Non-destructive tests (NDT) included the use of connectionless electrical pulse response analysis (CEPRA), ground penetrating radar (GPR), and half-cell potentials. Deteriorated capacity was determined through structural testing, and an analysis procedure was developed to estimate deteriorated behavior. A rehabilitation procedure was also developed to restore load transfer of adjacent beams in cases where shear key failures are suspected. Based on the understanding of deterioration developed through study of deteriorated adjacent box beam bridges, improved inspection and load rating procedures are provided along with design recommendations for the next generation of box beam bridges.
