Written by Ethel Waxham Love, a Wellesley College graduate who went
to Wyoming in 1905 as a teacher in a one-room schoolhouse, and her
son, J. David Love, who later became an eminent geologist, Life on
Muskrat Creek tells the fascinating story of a family's day-to-day
life on an isolated ranch in early twentieth-century Wyoming.
Readers will be held in suspense as they learn about the family's
battle with a variety of challenges, including a near-fatal bout
with Spanish influenza, life-threatening encounters with livestock
and wildlife, and disastrous episodes of fires, flooding,
blizzards, and drought. The book's depiction of more ordinary
events is equally engaging; Ethel describes becoming a wife and
raising children without the support of neighbors, women friends,
or a wider family network, and David recounts growing up in a wild
and remote place where there was no local school to attend. Readers
from all walks of life will find Life on Muskrat Creek to be a
lively and provocative book.
For broadband communications, it was frequency division
multiplexing. For optical communications, it was wavelength
division multiplexing. Then, for all types of networks it was code
division. Breakthroughs in transmission speed were made possible by
these developments, heralding next-generation networks of
increasing capability in each case. The basic idea is the same:
more channels equals higher throughput. For wireless
communications, it is space-time coding using
multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) technology. Providing a
complete treatment of MIMO under a single cover, MIMO System
Technology for Wireless Communications assembles coverage on all
aspects of MIMO technology along with up-to-date information on key
related issues. Contributors from leading academic and industrial
institutions around the world share their expertise and lend the
book a global perspective. They lead you gradually from basic to
more advanced concepts, from propagation modeling and performance
analysis to space-time codes, various systems, implementation
options and limitations, practical system development
considerations, field trials, and network planning issues. Linking
theoretical analysis to practical issues, the book does not limit
itself to any specific standardization or research/industrial
initiatives. MIMO is the catalyst for the next revolution in
wireless systems, and MIMO System Technology for Wireless
Communications lays a thorough and complete foundation on which to
build the next and future generations of wireless networks.
Water demand in southern Africa continues to rise, as urban areas
expand and as agricultural water demand rises to meet the
millennium development food security goals. Water resource
availability in the northern Limpopo Basin has declined over the
last 30 years, and will decline further under climate change. In
this study, water resources modelling is used to quantify the
effect of water resources strategies and climatic conditions on
water resources availability. This is coupled with water balance
modelling to evaluate the potential of alluvial aquifers, which
form the beds of sand rivers. The greatest benefit for the least
impact comes from strategies providing for better land and
soil/water management, such as changing from maize to small grains,
production of livestock fodder and conservation agriculture. Small
dams are a key resource to rural communities, and change to
Multiple Use Systems through abstraction of water for irrigation
has clear benefits locally. There is also great potential for the
exploitation of alluvial aquifers for water supply. Better
management of existing large dams, together with conjunctive use of
alluvial groundwater and several reservoirs could increase
productive use of water and significantly improve livelihoods
without the construction of new reservoirs.

Leverage the power of Python and its de facto GUI framework to
build highly interactive interfaces Key Features The fundamentals
of Python and GUI programming with Tkinter. Create multiple
cross-platform projects by integrating a host of third-party
libraries and tools. Build beautiful and highly-interactive user
interfaces that target multiple devices. Book DescriptionTkinter is
a modular, cross-platform application development toolkit for
Python. When developing GUI-rich applications, the most important
choices are which programming language(s) and which GUI framework
to use. Python and Tkinter prove to be a great combination. This
book will get you familiar with Tkinter by having you create fun
and interactive projects. These projects have varying degrees of
complexity. We'll start with a simple project, where you'll learn
the fundamentals of GUI programming and the basics of working with
a Tkinter application. After getting the basics right, we'll move
on to creating a project of slightly increased complexity, such as
a highly customizable Python editor. In the next project, we'll
crank up the complexity level to create an instant messaging app.
Toward the end, we'll discuss various ways of packaging our
applications so that they can be shared and installed on other
machines without the user having to learn how to install and run
Python programs. What you will learn Create a scrollable frame via
theCanvas widget Use the pack geometry manager andFrame widget to
control layout Learn to choose a data structurefor a game Group
Tkinter widgets, such asbuttons, canvases, and labels Create a
highly customizablePython editor Design and lay out a chat window
Who this book is forThis book is for beginners to GUI programming
who haven't used Tkinter yet and are eager to start building
great-looking and user-friendly GUIs. Prior knowledge of Python
programming is expected.
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Western literary
study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope,
Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann
Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others.

The great need of the Church today is for the body of believers to
become more like God. To walk under the shadow of the Lord God
Almighty into deep fellowship with our God to where He calls us His
friend. We need a deep spiritual awakening that as a body of
believers we have fallen short of being trued God pleasers. As a
result we walk around with spiritual doors unopened that could
swing wide open for us. Once you become a God pleaser you won't
have to ask "Why is it that I make such poor progress in my
Christian walk? Why do I have so little victory over my sin?
