This book contains the edited versions of the papers presented at the Second International Workshop on Electric and Magnetic Fields held at the Katholieke Universiteit van Leuven (Belgium) in May 1994. This Workshop deals with numerical solutions of electromagnetic problems in real life applications. The topics include coupled problems (thermal, mechanical, electric circuits), CAD & CAM applications, 3D eddy current and high frequency problems, optimisation and application oriented numerical problems. This workshop was organised jointly by the AIM (Association of Engineers graduated from de Montefiore Electrical Institute) together with the Departments of Electrical Engineering of the Katholieke Universiteit van Leuven (Prof. R. Belmans), the University of Gent (Prof. J. Melkebbek) and the University of Liege (Prof. W. Legros). These laboratories are working together in the framework of the Pole d'Attraction Interuniversitaire - Inter-University Attractie-Pole 51 - on electromagnetic systems led by the University of Liege and the research work they perform covers most of the topics of the Workshop. One of the principal aims of this Workshop was to provide a bridge between the electromagnetic device designers, mainly industrialists, and the electromagnetic field computation developers. Therefore, this book contains a continuous spectrum of papers from application of electromagnetic models in industrial design to presentation of new theoretical developments.

"Vintage Years, A Fulfilling Life After Divorce" is the Second Edition of Ms. Nicolet's memoir which contains not only the story of her broken marriage while living in a foreign country, but includes an epilogue which speaks of the opportunities and 'open-doors' that God provided her after the author's retirement at age sixty-nine. She shares her writing experiences, television appearances and most importantly, at age seventy-seven the meeting of a kind and handsome retired Baptist minister, who became her husband after she lived single for twenty-eight years.

Military memories were recaptured and told to the author by the men and women residents at Clifford C. Sims Veterans' Nursing Home in Panama City, Florida. Some of these outstanding individuals were ones who put themselves in harm's way as they fought for their country. Others recall being on the sidelines with assistance that come in the form of: financial clerks, nurses, truck drivers, ambulance drivers, ground crews, personnel sergeants and many more. None felt as though they were heroes. Their stories will touch your heart.

People can make a difference in the world around them, and Velma had done just that for a number of years. As a CASA, or court-appointed special advocate, this elderly lady had given of her time and effort to help young children, who would otherwise have to live in revolting and degrading conditions. After the court system placed children in foster care, Velma would then give them hope and love that replaced the fear and uncertainty that they had experienced with their biological parents. One day, in an unbelievable set of circumstances, she had to be rushed to the hospital when a young teenage boy on his bicycle knocked her down while she waited for a bus. Her six children kept a vigil at her bedside as she lay in a coma, steadfast in their belief that God would heal her.

"Scooterville" is a compilation of short stories that depict the life and escapades of seniors living at a retirement apartment complex situated on the panhandle of Florida, overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. Some accounts are comical, where others are warm and fuzzy.

Long Journey Westward is an inspiring chronicle set in the late 1880s as an Irish emigrant family reluctantly leaves their poverty-stricken, but beloved, homeland for the sake of survival. The story centers on the adventures of the son, Robert, who sets out in the early 1900s to make a life for himself in the newly established area of Canada - Fraser Mills, British Columbia. There he obtains a position as cook with a sawmill company. He's tall and good-looking with a strong Christian upbringing, but definitely does not fit in with many of those in the workplace. They are burly, crude-speaking and heavy-drinking lumbermen that he must encounter daily while at work and living in the company's bunkhouse. He faces condemnation and confrontation for being a non-conformist to their lifestyle. Loneliness sets in, driving him to consider taking a mail-order bride for a wife. Through many challenges and adversities, Robert continues to uphold his Christian principles. Even so, at times he questions the choice he made in leaving home to work and survive in the environment in which he finds himself.
