Formwork For Concrete Structures

Book Description

Dramatically slash the cost of formwork design and construction. With the expense of creating concrete formwork so high--often exceeding the cost of the concrete and steel used in the project itself--you need the Third Edition of R. L. Peurifoy and G. D. Oberlander's Formwork for Concrete Structures. This authoritiative working tool shows you how to cut costs by making the most of the material, time, labor, and equipment required to design, erect, and remove formwork. You get complete details on state-of-the-art materials and technology plus fast access to scores of tables and practical examples that help you sidestep costly, guesswork and trial-and-errors methods. A completely up-to-date list of formwork material suppliers rounds out this one-of-a-kind money saver.

Goofball comics at their best.......2004-03-26

Before its voluntary departure from the Washington Post, "Liberty Meadows" had gained a loyal following that brought it back from possible cancellation more than once. Now this kooky strip and its bizarre characters are back in this book, "Liberty Meadows: Big Book of Love."

Welcome to Liberty Meadows, an animal preserve overseen by timid vet Frank and beautiful animal shrink Brandy. As Frank tries to muster the courage to ask Brandy out, the two of them also have to deal with the nutty animals there: a crazed Cow, Leslie the hypochondriac bullfrog, Ralph the tiny belligerant bear, Truman the water-fearing duck, and Dean the chauvinist pig in rehab.

This loony crew tries to deal with dates (where Brandy's crazed ex tries to kill Frank), the evil catfish Khan, camping trips with psychedelic mushrooms, falls into mine shafts, severed noses, truck-sized ticks, the insane stalker Cow kidnapping a celebrity and -- worst of all -- Dean's trip through the land of Cold Turkey.

You'd be hard-pressed to find a weirder comic strip than Liberty Meadows. Frank Cho combines the realistic drawing style (Frank and Brandy) with more traditional cartoon styles (the animals, and supporting humans like the handyman). Filled with wry pokes at pop culture and political correctness, it's refreshing and amusing in a sea of stale comics.

What sets this apart from "Liberty Meadows: Eden"? Despite the fact that the comics included are the same, there are also full-color Sunday strips. Not to mention a funny "framing" story: on the 100th anniversary of the Liberty Meadows sanctuary, a reporter is interviewing Ralph and Leslie (much older, but as crazed as ever).

If you weren't lucky enough to read "Liberty Meadows" during its stint in the papers, check out "Liberty Meadows: Big Book of Love." Silly, weird, bizarre, and immensely entertaining, this is definitely worth a read.

Great stuff.......2003-10-25

I loved Liberty Meadows when it was a daily newspaper strip, and while i still enjoy it in its current incarnation as a bimonthly comic book, it is just not the same. Big Book of Love is a great trip down memory lane for me. A combination of funny material and a sympathetic "hero" in a hidden love with a dream girl make for fun reading and can be related to.

Amazing art and raw gags.......2003-03-13

Frank Cho is a great comic artist. His style juxtaposes the detail and realism of the old adventure comic strips with the simpler lines of the best funnies. His strips contain some raw humor inspired by the physical violence in Warner Bros. cartoons, pop culture references, and too many years in a fraternity. Watch out for the great dinosaurs and cameos by Tarzan and Prince Valium.

Even if you have Eden, his first book published by Image, you will also want to pick up this volume for its fantastic Sunday color strips. These strips must have been re-colored and look great.

Book Description

Without the internal application of standards of prudence in bank management, regulatory restraints will always be inadequate. A complete theory of prudence is developed in these pages, covering decision mechanisms and banking culture, using numerous specific examples of actual bank imprudence. The theory is applied across bank functions of credit, investments, funding, and management, creating practical principles accessible to bank managers, regulators, and all those dealing with banking issues in the public domain. The shortcomings of the regulatory approach to bank supervision are discussed with particular attention given to recent acts of regulation. Historical bank examples, mostly recent, of bank imprudence are described. A strategy of decision-making, referred to as "Recursive Managerialism" (which is inherently prudential) is discussed in detail, and is prescribed as the preferred mode of decision in banking. The role of balance in the risks of banking in the pursuit of catastrophe avoidance is proposed as a negative form of prudence. This concept is shown to be associated with public interest issues, so serving similar goals to those presently sought through regulations. This structure provides the basis to evaluate decisions in specific areas of bank functions: credit, investments, funding, and management. In the course of the chapters in Part II, a positive version of prudence is advanced to complement the earlier negative version, and specific areas of modern banking issues--such as mergers and acquisitions--and the role of interstate banking, are given prudential treatment.

Good read for those w/ chronic pain.......2002-04-26

I've had to live with severe chronic pain following a lumbar spine fusion 2 years ago that put me in worse pain than before the surgery. Since the surgeon has been worthless in helping me, i've been on my own and when i found this book i was delighted because it described me to a tee. While i haven't found nirvana and will never be pain free, this book has given me a strong set of tools to help deal with the severe pain i live with 24/7. Highly recommended for anyone in a similar boat.

A fantastic guide to living with an invisible handicap.......2000-08-08

I've had chronic pain for 5 years and have been to see a number of different pain management practices. The one that worked the best for me is modeled on the same approach Sternbach advocates.

Our bodies normally experience pain for a reason. Acute pain indicates tissue damage and forces us to stop and take care of an injury. Chronic pain, on the other hand, is pain without an organic stimulus; there's no tissue damage and we don't need to take care of an injured body. Chronic pain, by definition, isn't going anywhere. So the best way to deal with chronic pain is to find ways to *cope* with it and not hope for some miraculous cure.

Sternbach does an excellent job explaining a multidisciplinary approach to managing chronic pain and learning to live with it. It makes a fantastic reference no only for those of us with chronic pain, but also for our loved ones who want to help but don't know how. I made my immediate family and closest friends read it. While they initially protested, they thanked me afterwards and have been much more supportive, and their desire to help has been more productive.

The BEST book on chronic pain I've found........1998-10-13

I've lived with chronic pain for 2 1/2 years as a result of a car accident which left me with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. This book addresses issues that apply to all kinds of chronic pain. It is practical and easy to understand. I've bought many, many books on chronic pain, and this is by far the best. I believe this approach to living with chronic pain is realistic, positive and allows the sufferer to make the most of his/her life. The book relates very well to the psychological effects of living with chronic pain. This physical and psychological program allows the sufferer to take back control over his pain and his life. If you or a loved one suffer from chronic pain, this book is a must.

Book Description

"Chaplain Slomovitz has opened the door to a previously undocumented, untold chapter of the history of the Jews in America. The Fighting Rabbis should be read with great pride by the Jewish American community, and with admiration by all others."
--Vice Admiral Bernard M. Kauderer(Ret.)

"The Fighting Rabbis surges with true and exciting storeis of faith and fortitude little known to the American public. How I wish it were required reading for all military chaplains, and for all clergy and military leaders who care about God's ministry among our men and women in the armed services. Rabbi Slomovitz has granted us a record of great significance."
--Rear Admiral Donald K. Muchow

"More than simply the story of Jewish military chaplains in America, The Fighting Rabbis offers broad contextual material on the entire scope of Jewish American history. It also shatters two significant myths about Jews and the American military: that they did not serve, and that the U.S. Armed Services have always been a bastion of anti-semitism. A seminal contribution to American history."
--John Sherwood, author of Officers in Flight Suits: The Story of American Air Force Pilots in the Korean War

"Rabbi Slomovitz, himself a 'Fighting Rabbi,' honors a dedicated group of religious military leaders whose accomplishments have remained untold for too long. The American Jewish community at large does not fully recognize the sacrifices and services of Jewish Americans who have gallantly served our country and our faith. This book should be in every military and synagogue library."
--Colonel Jack B. Zimmermann, USMCR (Ret.)
"Illuminates the significant role that rabbi-chaplains in uniform have played in promoting the spiritual welfare of members of the Armed Forces--both Jewish and non-Jewish--ever since the Civil War."
--Rabbi David Lapp, Director of Jewish Chaplains Council

Rabbi Elkan Voorsanger received the Purple Heart for his actions during the Battle of Argonne. Chaplain Edgar Siskin, serving with the Marines on Pelilu Island, conducted Yom Kippur services in the midst of a barrage of artillery fire. Rabbi Alexander Goode and three fellow chaplains gave their own lifejackets to panicked soldiers aboard a sinking transport torpedoed by a German submarine, and then went down with the ship.

American Jews are not usually associated with warfare. Nor, for that matter, are their rabbis. And yet, Jewish chaplains have played a significant and sometimes heroic role in our nation's defense.

The Fighting Rabbis presents the compelling history of Jewish military chaplains from their first service during the Civil War to the first female Jewish chaplain and the rabbinic role in Korea, Vietnam, and Desert Storm. Rabbi Slomovitz, himself a Navy chaplain, opens a window onto the fieldwork, religious services, counseling, and dramatic battlefield experiences of Jewish military chaplains throughout our nation's history.

From George Washington's early support for a religiously tolerant military to a Seder held in the desert sands of Kuwait, these rabbis have had a profound impact on Jewish life in America. Also striking are original documents which chronicle the ongoing care and concern by the Jewish community over the last 140 years for their follow Jews, including many new immigrants who entered the armed forces. Slomovitz refutes the common belief that the U.S. military itself has been a hostile place for Jews, in the process providing a unique perspective on American religious history.

Product Description

The object of this book is the statement of the case on which all defenders of liberty base their prosecution against Turkey itself, and against the Power that to-day has Turkey in its grip.

Download Description

But from about the beginning of the reign of the present German Emperor, German or rather Prussian diplomacy had been going quietly about its work. It was worth while to study the psychology of the Turks, because dimly then, but with ever-increasing distinctness, Germany foresaw that Turkey might be a counter of immense importance in the great conflict which was assuredly drawing nearer, though as yet its existence was but foreshadowed by the most distant reflections of summer lightning on a serene horizon.
