"And it shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour forth of
my Spirit upon all flesh: And your sons and your daughters shall
prophesy, And your young men shall see visions, And your old men
shall dream dreams: " (Acts 2:17, ASV).There has never been a
greater time for God's people to put aside their petty religious
insanities and "wake up" to hear "His" voice; whether it comes in
the explosive eruption of a volcano, a clap of thunder, or a
whisper in your ear in the stillness of the night. Inside the cover
of this book are essential ingredients to hear His voice in the
quiet of the night.The WORD says: "and the sheep follow him: for
they know his voice" (John 10:4, ASV).Do you know His voice?
Perhaps it's time we take the principles found within this book and
learn to recognize all the ways that "He" can, and is speaking to
us.Pastor Joseph Landreth"Follow Me, and I will make you become
fishers of men." (Mark 1:17, NKJV)
Using the spin-Hamiltonian formalism the magnetic parameters are
introduced through the components of the Lambda-tensor involving
only the matrix elements of the angular momentum operator. The
energy levels for a variety of spins are generated and the modeling
of the magnetization, the magnetic susceptibility and the heat
capacity is done. Theoretical formulae necessary in performing the
energy level calculations for a multi-term system are prepared with
the help of the irreducible tensor operator approach. The goal of
the programming lies in the fact that the entire relevant matrix
elements (electron repulsion, crystal field, spin-orbit
interaction, orbital-Zeeman, and spin-Zeeman operators) are
evaluated in the basis set of free-atom terms. The modeling of the
zero-field splitting is done at three levels of sophistication. The
spin-Hamiltonian formalism offers simple formulae for the magnetic
parameters by evaluating the matrix elements of the angular
momentum operator in the basis set of the crystal-field terms. The
magnetic functions for dn complexes are modeled for a wide range of
the crystal-field strengths.
The subject of this work is controversial, but its message is
simple: the study of UFOs merits the serious attention of the
intellectual establishment. Advocating credibility for this
much-maligned field of research, historian David Jacobs and his
coauthors highlight some of the key events, issues, themes and
theories surrounding this elusive and complex subject. Whether
interplanetary tourists, interlopers from a parallel universe, or
mere misfirings in the brain, UFOs and ""aliens"" permeate popular
culture. They have made the covers of ""Time"", ""Life"", and the
""New York Times Book Review""; garnered CNN coverage; turned up on
""Larry King Live"" and other high-profile talk shows; attracted
large audiences for TV's ""X-Files"" and ""Roswell"", and for films
like ""ET"", ""Independence Day"", ""Men in Black"" and ""Close
Encounters of the Third Kind""; and swamped the Internet with
thousands of websites and discussion groups. Despite this pervasive
presense, few scholars have been willing to study the perplexing
phenomena behind these cultural signifiers. Wary of a field that
seems tainted by suspect methods and outlandish theories, many have
logically stayed away. The relative lack of academic participation,
however, creates a vicious circle that prevents the development of
standards that would attract greater academic participation and,
thus, credibility and funding for the field. Meanwhile, the
phenomenon, rather than fading from public awareness, continues to
grow and evolve. In response, this volume provides a kind of primer
for scholars, skeptics and others uneasy about investigating this
field. Its authors examine the nature of UFO ""evidence""; discuss
the methodological debates; incorporate research from science,
history, mythology and psychology; and highlight the reactions of
the government and military from the Cold War to the present. It
also brings together three bestselling authors - Jacobs, Budd
Hopkins and Pulitzer Prize-winner John Mack - widely known for
their writings on the highly controversial ""alien abduction""
phenomenon.
Comprising two volumes, Thermoelectrics and Its Energy Harvesting
reviews the dramatic improvements in technology and application of
thermoelectric energy with a specific intention to reduce and reuse
waste heat and improve novel techniques for the efficient
acquisition and use of energy. This volume, Modules, Systems and
Applications in Thermoelectrics, discusses the practical, novel,
and truly groundbreaking applications of thermoelectrics in a range
of markets. The book details the U.S. interest in alternative
energy and energy harvesting, specifically, the current efforts to
use thermoelectric generators (TGs) to reduce emissions.
Internationally, it expounds on the strong interest in Japan, Korea
and Europe to incorporate TGs in cars to reduce fuel consumption
and meet EU carbon dioxide emission targets; the European plans to
build an isotopic powered thermoelectric generator; and India's use
of TG s in converting hot water from steel mills into electricity.

Google's Programmable Search Engines (PSEs, previously called
Custom Search Engines) provide search opportunities that are
unavailable with any other tool. PSEs have advanced settings and
search operators that are not supported by "regular" Google. With
PSEs, it is possible to perform filtered searches within parts of
the web as if they were databases! While lots of professionals use
existing PSEs to source for talent or with other research goals,
few people have experience creating them. Even fewer know about
powerful PSE-only search operators. The main reason PSEs are not as
popular as they should be is that it is not easy to get educated on
PSE creation. There is little information online and no books
(other than this one) on the subject. Even less info is available
on the "structured" operators that allow for filtered searches. The
first of its kind, this book hopes to popularize these fun and
powerful tools so that many more people can include PSEs in their
work. Key Features: A detailed introduction to creating PSEs,
including info absent in Google's help A "hack" for creating PSEs
that look for profiles in seconds An introduction to advanced
PSE-only search operators allowed to perform filtered searches of
parts of the web A "hack" for expanding Google's search limits to
500 terms Use cases, examples, and approaches that would be
educational for those doing online research This book will be of
interest to researchers, OSINT specialists, investigative
journalists, Competitive Intelligence people, recruiters, and
Sourcers, to name a few categories, and to the general public
interested in how to search better.

Originally published in 1989. In this interdisciplinary study, Dr
Levin offers an account of personal growth and self-fulfilment
based on the development of our capacity for listening. This book
should be of interest to advanced students of critical theory,
psychology, cultural studies, ethics, continental philosophy,
ontology, metaphysics.
An argument against the myth of American exceptionalism Endless
Holocausts: Mass Death in the History of the United States Empire
helps us to come to terms with what we have long suspected: the
rise of the U.S. Empire has relied upon an almost unimaginable loss
of life, from its inception during the European colonial period, to
the present. And yet, in the face of a series of endless holocausts
at home and abroad, the doctrine of American exceptionalism has
plagued the globe for over a century. However much the ruling class
insists on U.S. superiority, we find ourselves in the midst of a
sea change. Perpetual wars, deteriorating economic conditions, the
resurgence of white supremacy, and the rise of the Far Right have
led millions of people to abandon their illusions about this
country. Never before have so many people rejected or questioned
traditional platitudes about the United States. In Endless
Holocausts author David Michael Smith demolishes the myth of
exceptionalism by demonstrating that manifold forms of mass death,
far from being unfortunate exceptions to an otherwise benign
historical record, have been indispensable in the rise of the
wealthiest and most powerful imperium in the history of the world.
At the same time, Smith points to an extraordinary history of
resistance by Indigenous peoples, people of African descent, people
in other nations brutalized by U.S. imperialism, workers, and
democratic-minded people around the world determined to fight for
common dignity and the sake of the greater good.
For Greek antiquity, the question of right or fitting measure
constituted the very heart of both ethics and politics. But can the
Good of the ethical life and the Justice of the political be
reduced to measurement and calculation? If they are matters of
measure, are they not also absolutely immeasurable? In critical
dialogue with texts by Plato, Hoelderlin, Rilke, Heidegger,
Benjamin, Adorno, Marx, Merleau-Ponty, Levinas, and Levi, the
author argues that the question of measure has become ever more
urgent in the context of a modernity pressured by the conditions of
a technological economy and a relativism that threatens to destroy
a vital sense of moral responsibility and the commitment to justice
that underlies the possibility of freedom. Conceived as a task for
the "metaphysics" of memory, this book explores the normative
problematic of measure, bringing its deeply buried redemptive
promise to appearance in our gestures, uses and abuses of the
hands, the dialectic of tact, and the manners of social existence.
