Download or read book The Yuletide Factor written by Tim J Huff and published by Castle Quay Books. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Yuletide Factor: Cause for Perpetual Comfort and Joy brilliantly rises to the level of Tim Huff’s previous best-selling and award-winning works, Bent Hope and Dancing with Dynamite, challenging a status quo population to look for, and become, “Christmas people,” every day of the year. But, make no mistake; this is not just “another” Christmas book, but rather one that will be equally at home in a springtime picnic basket or on a summertime dock chair as it will in a December stocking hung by the chimney with care. Beyond its exhilarating collection of seasonal short stories, The Yuletide Factor takes readers on a timeless journey, touching down when and where even nuances of the Christmas spirit have left indelible legacies, often at the unlikeliest of times and in the most improbable of places. Prepare yourself for an unpredictable adventure in faith, an unapologetic summons for goodness, a fascinating exploration of the human spirit, and a tender invitation to the soul.
Download or read book Recurrent Event Modeling Based on the Yule Process written by Yves Le Gat and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-01-19 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents research work into the reliability of drinking water pipes. The infrastructure of water pipes is susceptible to routine failures, namely leakage or breakage, which occur in an aggregative manner in pipeline networks. Creating strategies for infrastructure asset management requires accurate modeling tools and first-hand experience of what repeated failures can mean in terms of socio-economic and environmental consequences. Devoted to the counting process framework when dealing with this issue, the author presents preliminary basic concepts, particularly the process intensity, as well as basic tools (classical distributions and processes). The introductory material precedes the discussion of several constructs, namely the non-homogeneous birth process, and further as a special case, the linearly extended Yule process (LEYP), and its adaptation to account for selective survival. The practical usefulness of the theoretical results is illustrated with actual water pipe failure data.
Download or read book The Chief Factor s Daughter written by Vanessa Winn and published by TouchWood Editions. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chief factor: In the Hudson’s Bay Company fur-trade monopoly, the title of chief factor was the highest rank given to commissioned officers, who were responsible for a major trading post and its surrounding district. Colonial Victoria in 1858 is an unruly mix of rowdy gold seekers and hustling immigrants caught in the upheaval of the fur trade giving way to the gold rush. Chief Factor John Work, an elite of the Hudson’s Bay Company fur trade and husband to a country-born wife, forbids his daughters to go into the formerly quiet Fort Victoria, to protect them from its burgeoning transient population. Margaret, the eldest daughter, chafes at her father’s restrictions and worries that, at 23, she is fated to be a spinster. Born of a British father and Métis mother, Margaret and her sisters belong to the upper class of the fur-trade community, though they become targets of snobbery and racism from the new settlers. But dashing naval officers and Royal Engineers still host parties and balls, and Margaret and her sisters attend, dressed in the fashionable gowns they order from England. As happens the world over, these cultural tensions lead to love and romance. An elegant recreation of real events and people, The Chief Factor’s Daughter takes readers inside a now-vanished society, much like Pride and Prejudice. Margaret Work, with her aspirations, hopes and dreams, is a recognizable and thoroughly appealing heroine.
