Bruce Young

See the God of grace clearly... One crisp fall morning, snow-capped Mt. Fuji stands out against a clear blue sky while you drive down the road. As you get closer, the shape and color became even more distinguishable. But suddenly, something takes this enjoyment away. A long line of trees completely block your view of the mountain. You try to look around, over, and through the trees, but you cannot see it even though you know the mountain is still there. If this beautiful mountain you are trying to enjoy is the God of grace, what are the "trees" in your life that block your view of this amazing God? There is nothing more beautiful than God, yet so many struggles and challenges in life can block your view of him. Bruce Young, life-time missionary to Japan, takes you on a journey to identify these obstacles, while also showing how you can once again live in full view of the God of grace.

Low-temperature systems can improve energy efficiency and hence reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. There is growing interest in low-temperature hydronic central heating systems, ie those where water is used as the medium to distribute heat around the building, and in which the water leaving the heat generator is limited to a lower temperature than in normal system design. This BRE Trust Report is aimed as a guide for those who wish to install low-temperature heating systems in dwellings, and concentrates on the calculations and other conditions necessary to ensure that low-temperature operation can be achieved. It became apparent during the preparation of this guide that there is no generally well-established and understood design method for low-temperature domestic heating systems. Instead of simply gathering information on current practice, the authors found it necessary to engage in extensive debate about many of the technical parameters governing system sizing, configuration and selection of components. Some of these have not been fully resolved. In particular, leading designers should give more attention to:-selection of a representative external temperature for heat loss calculations-allowance for building exposure-suitable heat loss calculators, conforming to stated rules-refined intermittency factors, perhaps using the advanced method set out in BS EN 12831:2003-evaluation of emitter responsiveness, especially for emitters with fans-temperature-limiting controls, and modulation by reference to an upper temperature limit. The last item (controls) is especially important, as it is the water temperature at the heat generator that is the principal determinant of efficiency when low-temperature system designs are contemplated. Further development of standard design and operating practices (especially for controls) for low-temperature systems will be necessary before low-temperature systems can be recognised as a mature option capable of providing energy savings in all cases.

From one of the foremost doctors in the field and a journalist who has experienced multiple miscarriages herself comes an accessible, encouraging, and complete guide to both the causes and, more important, the prevention of miscarriage. Though one in four American women will lose her pregnancy, with the right pre-pregnancy evaluation and ongoing care, for many women miscarriage can be prevented. During forty years of practice, Dr. Bruce Young has treated hundreds of women who experienced this heartbreaking loss and helped them bring babies to term. Now he has teamed up with one of his patients, Amy Zavatto, to write this compassionate guide that combines medical facts with insights from both the patient's and doctor's viewpoints. Including real-life case studies, Dr. Young provides in-depth answers to the questions: Why did this happen to me? and What can I do to prevent it next time? Providing the most up-to-date information on physical and mental health, nutrition, and technology, here is a proactive tool and comforting resource--from an expert with real-life reasons to give every woman hope for a successful pregnancy.
