1960 saw the dawn of an era of unprecedented innovation and development in farm machinery. It was a period of rapid technical advancement, that produced machines which are the mainstay of the current very buoyant vintage tractor restoration movement. At the start of the decade, spark-ignition Standard Fordson tractors still occasionally required repair; by the end of the decade, the Fordson Diesel Major had been replaced by the Ford 1000 series. The history of these iconic brands is well-known; Oily Hands and the Smell of Diesel gives an alternative view - the inside story of the agricultural machinery repair trade. First employed as an apprentice, then moving his way up to an engineer, David Harris gives an entertaining, informative and personal account of his time spent at a Ford main tractor dealership, working on Ford, Fordson, County, Roadless and Muirhill tractors, Chaseside loaders, Claas combines and New Holland and Jones balers amongst others. Including many historical photographs, David describes the technical challenges in detail, and tells of the ups and downs of life in the workshop and out in the field. This book will be a must-read for anyone who is or was involved in the machinery industry; anyone looking to restore or repair vintage agricultural machinery and anyone with a general interest in farming and machinery history.

Are You or a Loved One Considering Gastric Sleeve Surgery? This book is a collaboration between the author and a bariatric surgery patient's first-hand, and very personal account of the experience. It is comprehensive: From researching gastric sleeve surgery, to guiding you through the entire process as experienced by a former patient whose detailed accounting paints a reliable picture of pre- and post-op expectations. The benefits of bariatric surgery are immense. So many mid- to late-life health problems stem from medical complications due to excess weight. From diabetes and heart disease, to increased risks of cancer, the truth is clear: Being overweight is simply not a healthy lifestyle. In addition to physical ailments, there is the significant mental toll to consider. Depression and anxiety are highly correlated with obesity and these psychological issues often go untreated through either patient ignorance or denial. Contemporary gastric sleeve surgery serves the primary function of aiding a patient to lose weight by reducing the total size of their stomach. The degree of reduction varies, but in extreme cases it can be up to eighty five percent. The end result is that the patient is physically unable to ingest as much food, but there is a far more important change that takes place. The procedure also reduces the production of ghrelin, a hormone that stimulates hunger. Ghrelin reduction yields a suppressed craving for food to further promote weight loss. This book serves as a comprehensive guide for those considering bariatric gastric sleeve surgery for themselves, or for those who have already been approved for the procedure. If you are not undertaking bariatric surgery yourself, then the book serves as a research tool and aid to the decision-making process for a loved one who might be considering the procedure. Here Is A Preview Of What You'll Learn... A Real Patient's Personal Success Story Background & History of the Procedure Obesity Risk Factors How the Procedure is Performed Patient Qualifications for Surgery Advantages and Effectiveness of the Surgery Insurance and Cost Considerations How to Prepare for Surgery Diet Requirements Before and After Surgery What to Expect on the Day of the Surgery The Recovery Process Post-Surgery Overview of the Medical Professionals Involved in the Treatment Mental Health Factors Personal Tips, Advice, and Suggestions From a Former Patient Who Already Went Through the Entire Process And Much More Information is the First Step Towards Treatment, and You Can Start Right Now With This Book

Digital Design and Computer Architecture: ARM Edition covers the fundamentals of digital logic design and reinforces logic concepts through the design of an ARM microprocessor. Combining an engaging and humorous writing style with an updated and hands-on approach to digital design, this book takes the reader from the fundamentals of digital logic to the actual design of an ARM processor. By the end of this book, readers will be able to build their own microprocessor and will have a top-to-bottom understanding of how it works. Beginning with digital logic gates and progressing to the design of combinational and sequential circuits, this book uses these fundamental building blocks as the basis for designing an ARM processor. SystemVerilog and VHDL are integrated throughout the text in examples illustrating the methods and techniques for CAD-based circuit design. The companion website includes a chapter on I/O systems with practical examples that show how to use the Raspberry Pi computer to communicate with peripheral devices such as LCDs, Bluetooth radios, and motors. This book will be a valuable resource for students taking a course that combines digital logic and computer architecture or students taking a two-quarter sequence in digital logic and computer organization/architecture.

In the aftermath of explosive civil wars in Africa during the 1990s and 2000s, the establishment of multi-party elections has often been heralded by the West as signaling the culmination of the conflict and the beginning of a period of democratic rule. However, the outcomes of these elections are very rarely uniform, with just as many countries returning to conflict as not. Here, David Harris uses the examples of Sierra Leone and Liberia to examine the nexus of international and domestic politics in these post-conflict elections. In doing so, he comes to the conclusion that it is political, rather than legal, solutions that are more likely to enhance any positive political change that has emerged from the violence. This book is thus of significance to Western and African policy makers, and also to students and scholars who wish to engage with the critical issues of conflict resolution and reconciliation both in Sierra Leone and Liberia in particular and in the wider region in general.

The problem of otherness is central to debates in both the social sciences and theology. To define the other – by colour, gender, politics, nationality, or religion – is to define the self. Othering has been used through history as a justification for boundary-setting, for conflict and for oppression. Radical Otherness presents a broad overview of otherness in both sociology and theology. The book reveals how social theory can illuminate many contemporary issues in theology, whilst the examination of theological methods can shed light on problematic issues in sociology. The discussion of issues in Radical Otherness moves from the personal to the political, to the hermeneutic, to the ultimate otherness of metaphysics. At each stage, discussion of theory is grounded in concrete examples. The book offers students of ethics, theology, and sociology of religion a clear and engaged assessment of otherness, and opens up new ways for investigating a concept central to the study of both religion and society.

This book provides a general framework for specifying, estimating and testing time series econometric models. Special emphasis is given to estimation by maximum likelihood, but other methods are also discussed, including quasi-maximum likelihood estimation, generalised method of moments estimation, nonparametric estimation and estimation by simulation. An important advantage of adopting the principle of maximum likelihood as the unifying framework for the book is that many of the estimators and test statistics proposed in econometrics can be derived within a likelihood framework, thereby providing a coherent vehicle for understanding their properties and interrelationships. In contrast to many existing econometric textbooks, which deal mainly with the theoretical properties of estimators and test statistics through a theorem-proof presentation, this book squarely addresses implementation to provide direct conduits between the theory and applied work.
