You Were Born for Miracles Too many Christians have settled
for experiencing small doses of God's supernatural love. But what
if your life was marked by an outpouring of His power, answered
prayers, miracles and victory? In this practical,
eye-opening book, Dr. Kynan Bridges shows that this is exactly the
life God designed you for--through Christ, you have the divine
right to operate in the miraculous. Why? Because miracles are
deliberate, redeeming, life-changing displays of God's love in
action. In these pages you will discover not only the biblical
foundation for living out the miraculous every day, but also how to
sustain a supernatural lifestyle through faith, compassion,
humility and worship. Miracles are your spiritual
inheritance, and the Holy Spirit is waiting to partner with you.
It's time to let His love and Kingdom overflow in your life and
change the lives of those around you. "Biblically balanced and well
written. A great book for someone interested in healing for
themselves or the ministry of healing for others."--DR. RANDY CLARK
The Handbook of Irrigation Hydrology and Management examines and
analyzes irrigated ecosystems in which water storage, applications,
or drainage volumes are artificially controlled in the landscape
and the spatial domain of processes varies from micrometers to tens
of kilometers, while the temporal domain spans from seconds to
centuries. The continuum science of irrigation hydrology includes
the surface, subsurface (unsaturated and groundwater systems),
atmospheric, and plant subsystems. Further, it presents numerous
considerations including the selection of economically viable
cropping patterns, land allocation by crop, water resource
allocation by crop, irrigation scheduling, deficit management
irrigation, optimizing crop yields, and more. Features: Offers
water-saving strategies to increase the judicious use of scarce
water resources Presents strategies to maximize agricultural yield
per unit of water used for different regions Compares irrigation

Whether you're an experienced runner or a complete beginner, this
inspiring book will motivate you to train your body and mind to
complete one of the hardest physical feats of all—an
ultramarathon When Sid Garza-Hillman stood at the starting line of
his first 50-mile-long trail ultramarathon, one thought was at the
front of his mind: this was the last place he wanted to be. After
all, trail ultrarunning is a very different animal than
marathons—in which Sid had barely taken part himself. The trails
demand attention, and the long distances demand a shift in
perception and mindset. Even in crowded races, runners often find
themselves alone and with only their own thoughts. With trail
running, a person can be stripped of almost everything—laid bare,
vulnerable, and on the verge of quitting. Ultrarunning, at least to
Sid, seemed to be a sport for Type-A people who love pain and
suffering. But as he became more involved with the sport, he
realized that ultrarunning wasn't just for elite athletes. Moms,
dads, grandmas, grandpas, young people, old people, people with
full-time jobs, and more successfully cross the finish lines of
races around the world. Reflecting on his journey from
dispassionately running a few miles here and there to running
multiple ultramarathons, Sid divulges tips and tricks for how
so-called "Normal People" can become successful ultrarunners. Part
humorous memoir, part guide for those interested in attempting an
ultramarathon for the first time, Ultrarunning is for Normal People
lays out the struggles, benefits, and life lessons that await
anyone who’s ready to dive into the world of ultrarunning.

Evaporation Technology in Food Processing, Volume Nine in the Unit
Operations and Processing Equipment in the Food Industry series,
explains the processing operations and equipment necessary for
recent invented non-thermal processing of different food products,
including ozonation, plasma processing, pulsed electric fields,
high pressure processing, irradiation and high frequency
processing. These processes and unit operations are very
important in terms of achieving favorable sensory properties and
energy usage. Written by experts in the field of food
engineering, this book targets Industrial Engineers working in the
field of food processing and within food factories. Divided in four
sections, “Evaporation basics," “Different types of
evaporators,” “Application of evaporators in the food industry”
and “Design, control and efficiency of evaporators,” all chapters
emphasize basic texts relating to experimental, theoretical,
computational, and/or applications of food engineering principles
and the relevant processing equipment to evaporation unit
operations.
It has been estimated that over 75% of the innovative projects that
begin through the Innovation Management System (IMS) are either
failures or they failed to produce the desired results. The biggest
wastes most medium- to large-size organizations face are the waste
of money, time, reputation, opportunity, and income that these
failures are costing them. Following this book's recommendations
could reduce this failure cost by as much as 70%. The purpose of
this book is to provide a step-by-step procedure on how to process
a medium- or large-size project, program, or product using an
already-established IMS that considers the guidance given in ISO
56002:2019 - Innovation Management Systems Standard. Often the most
complicated, complex, difficult, and challenging system used in an
organization is the IMS. At the same time, it usually is the most
important system because it is the one that generates most of the
value-adding products for the organization, and it involves most of
the key functions within the organization. The opportunity for
failure in time and the impact on the organization is critical and
often means the difference between success and bankruptcy.
Throughout this book, the authors detail the high-impact inputs and
activities that are required to process individual
projects/programs/products through the innovation cycle. Although
this book was prepared to address how medium to large projects,
programs, and products proceed through the cycle, it also provides
the framework that can be used for small organizations and simple
innovation activities. Basically, the major difference between
large- and small-impact innovation projects is that the small
projects can accept more risks, require less formal documentation,
use simpler communication systems, and require fewer resources.
It's important to remember that the authors are addressing an
existing IMS rather than trying to create an entirely new one.
Currently, this is the only book geared for professionals
responsible for managing innovative projects and programs using ISO
56002:2019 - Innovation Management - Innovation Management System -
Guidance to provide a comprehensive management strategy and
step-by-step plan and ISO 56004 Innovation Management Assessment
-Guidance. It provides a comprehensive analysis of what is required
from the time an opportunity is recognized to the time the customer
is using the innovative product. The book also introduces a new
Process modeling cloud service that allows you to drill down 5
levels from the system level to the job description level and
includes free access to many of the book's best practice Process
models.
An essential component of good practice in physical education is
ensuring inclusivity for all pupils, regardless of need, ability or
background. Now in a fully revised and updated new edition, Equity
and Inclusion in Physical Education fully explores the theoretical
and practical issues faced by physical education teachers today.
The book amalgamates areas of critical debate within the world of
physical education and is structured around the key topics of
ability, special educational needs, gender, sexuality, social
class, race and ethnicity. These issues are discussed in relation
to principles of equity, equality of opportunity, pedagogy,
differentiation, curriculum planning and cultural awareness. Other
chapters explore contemporary themes such as healthism and obesity
and values in physical education and policy, whilst a chapter new
to this edition demonstrates the importance of reflexivity and
critical self-reflection in good inclusive practice. As well as
being a perfect introductory text for any course on inclusion or
inclusive practice in physical education, the book offers
invaluable, practical advice for established professionals, newly
qualified teachers and trainees about how to meet equity and
inclusion requirements. Examples of good practice are included
throughout, as well as guidance on how to implement an inclusive PE
curriculum within the school.

Smart ceramic coatings containing multifunctional components are
now finding application in transportation and automotive
industries, in electronics, and energy, sectors, in aerospace and
defense, and in industrial goods and healthcare. Their wide
application and stability in harsh environments are only possible
due to the stability of the inorganic components that are used in
ceramic coatings. Ceramic coatings are typically silicon nitride,
chromia, hafnia, alumina, alumina-magnesia, silica, silicon
carbide, titania, and zirconia-based compositions. The increased
demand for these materials and their application in energy,
transportation, and the automotive industry, are considered, to be
the main drivers. Advanced Ceramic Coatings for Energy Applications
covers recent developments in conducting electrodes, photovoltaics,
solar cells, battery applications, fuel cells, electrocatalysts,
photocatalysts and supercapacitors. The book is one of four volumes
that together provide a comprehensive resource in the field of
Advanced Ceramic Coatings, also including titles covering:
fundamentals, manufacturing, and classification; biomedical
applications; and emerging applications. The books will be
extremely useful for academic and industrial researchers and
practicing engineers who need to find reliable and up-to-date
information about recent progresses and new developments in the
field of advanced ceramic coatings. It will also be of value to
early career scientists providing background knowledge to the
field.

Student feedback has appeared in the forefront of higher education
quality, in particular the issues of effectiveness and the use of
student feedback to improve higher education teaching and learning,
and other areas of student tertiary experience. Despite this,
little academic literature has focussed on the experiences of
academics, higher education leaders and managers. The final title
in the Chandos Learning and Teaching Series to focus on student
feedback, Enhancing Learning and Teaching through Student Feedback
in the Medical and Health Sciences expands on topics covered in the
previous publications, focussing on the medical and health science
disciplines. This edited title includes contributions from experts
in higher education quality, and student feedback from a range of
countries, such as Australia, Europe, Canada, the USA, the UK,
South East Asia and India. The book is concerned with the practices
of evaluation and higher education quality in medical and health
science disciplines, with particular focus on student feedback. The
book begins by giving a discipline-specific overview of student
feedback in medical and health sciences, before moving on to take a
global perspective. The penultimate chapter considers the
accountability of student evaluations in health and medical
sciences, before a conclusion summarises the practices of student
feedback and accountability in medical and health sciences, and
suggests future improvements.
