  Hope for Caregivers - A 42-Day...

  Henri Nouwen

  "Caregiving is the holy act of the literal laying of hands on another to help and to heal. It requires strength, courage, and commitment to serve another intimately with dignity, respect, and love. The giving of such care, however, gives the one who cares a glimpse into God's priceless kenotic gift to humanity. This beautiful and important devotional based on Nouwen's magnanimous wisdom offers encouragement to those entrusted with caregiving by reminding them that what they are doing plants roots in the eternal—even in the hidden or lonely recesses of servitude, caregivers are seen, they matter, and they are upheld by the right hand of God!" — Carolyn Weber, caregiver, professor of literature, and author of Surprised by Oxford
  Henri Nouwen's timeless wisdom reminds us once again of the transformation that love brings, both when we allow ourselves to give love with abandon and when we allow ourselves to receive love.
  Caregiving too often is reduced to a list of tasks—doing the things that another individual cannot do independently. In six weeks of daily devotions inspired by the words of Henri Nouwen and intertwined with Scripture and prayer, Hope for Caregivers summons us away from our lists for a few moments each day and draws us to a fresh framework for the experience of giving care.

  Hidden in the Heavens - How the...

  Are we alone in the universe? It's a fundamental question for Earth-dwelling humankind. Are there other worlds like ours, out there somewhere? In Hidden in the Heavens, Jason Steffen, a former scientist on NASA's Kepler mission, describes how that mission searched for planets orbiting Sun-like stars—especially Earth-like planets circulating in Earth-like orbits. What the Kepler space telescope found, Steffen reports, contradicted centuries of theoretical and observational work and transformed our understanding of planets, planetary systems, and the stars they orbit. Kepler discovered thousands of planets orbiting distant stars—a bewildering variety of celestial bodies, including rocky planets being vaporized by the intense heat of their host star; super-Earths and sub-Neptunes; gas giants several times the size and mass of Jupiter; and planets orbiting in stellar systems that had only been imagined in science fiction. 
   
   
   
  Steffen offers a unique, inside account of the work of the Kepler science team (and the sometimes chaotic interactions among team members), mapping the progress of the mission from the launch of the rocket that carried Kepler into space to the revelations of the data that began to flow to the supercomputer back at NASA—evidence of strange new worlds unlike anything found in our own solar system.

  Build fast, scalable web server applications by harnessing the power of solution-driven programming with Go. 
  
  KEY FEATURES 
  - Understanding the core concepts of the Go programming language.
  - Designing and development of modern Web Server applications.
  - Dealing with different kinds of database management solutions.
  - Deploying applications with cutting edge technologies.
  - Monitoring and maintenance of applications with popular tools.
  
  DESCRIPTION
  In this book, we are going to learn how to design, develop and deploy Web Server Applications using the Go programming language. In recent years, Go has become the industrial standard for these kinds of applications; so by learning this, a lot of good opportunities can be opened in the market. All subjects will be covered through various practical examples.
  This book will cover the state-of-the-art technology for the development of Web Applications and follow all industrial standards. At the beginning we will do the preparation for development. Here, we will learn the basics of the Go programming language, the basics of Web Servers, how to set up a project with Go, and how to design software solutions.
  Later, we will concentrate more on development. We will learn how to develop the application designed in the previous chapters, how to use different types of databases, how to test our application, and how to make it secure. At the end of the book, we will show how to deploy the application and monitor it after deployment.
  After reading this book, the readers can independently develop Web Server Applications or include themselves in already-started projects.
  
  WHAT WILL YOU LEARN 
  - Solve common problems with the Go programming language.
  - Be familiar with the terms related to server applications.
  - Understand the phases in the software development process.
  - Be able to independently design software solutions and use some best practices.
  - Be familiar with multiple different database management solutions (relational and NoSQL) and be able to predict which best suits their needs.
  - Learn how to deploy applications.
  - Understand and know how to apply monitoring and alerting concepts.

  Cracking Hitler's Atlantic Wall...

  A military historian analyzes the ingenious WWII tanks known as Hobart’s Funnies, detailing their development and their role in the D-Day campaign. When the British and Canadians landed in Normandy on June 6, 1944, they were accompanied by specialized armored vehicles designed to remove German obstacles and mines. Developed by the Royal Engineers, these tanks known as Hobart's Funnies featured a range of ingenious innovations, from carpet-laying and bridge-laying devices to a giant 290-millimeter mortar.   Examining these vehicles from technical development to combat deployment, military historian Richard C. Anderson Jr. gives a minute-by-minute account of D-Day's early hours on Sword, Juno, and Gold Beaches—the critical moments when success hinged on the assault engineers’ ability to  clear a path or breach the seawall.   Anderson also describes the events on Omaha and Utah Beaches, where U.S. troops, despite being offered these vehicles, stormed ashore without them. Through careful comparison of conditions and outcomes, Anderson assesses the vehicles’ performance and impact on D-Day's successes and failures.

  Introduction to Quantum...

  Quantum mechanics arose in the early 20th century to explain phenomena that classical physics could not. Observations at the atomic scale revealed that matter and energy exhibit discrete and probabilistic behaviors, leading to the development of a new theoretical framework. The necessity for quantum mechanics became evident through several key experiments and discoveries. 
  One of the earliest quantum breakthroughs came from Max Planck’s study of blackbody radiation. Classical physics predicted an infinite energy output at short wavelengths, known as the ultraviolet catastrophe. Planck resolved this by proposing that energy is emitted in discrete packets called quanta, introducing the idea that energy levels are not continuous. This marked the birth of quantum theory. 
  Albert Einstein extended this concept with his explanation of the photoelectric effect, where light ejects electrons from a metal surface. Classical wave theory could not explain why light below a certain frequency fails to release electrons, regardless of intensity. Einstein proposed that light consists of photons, with energy proportional to their frequency. This established the particle-like nature of light and won him the Nobel Prize in 1921. 
  Louis de Broglie later proposed wave-particle duality, suggesting that particles like electrons also behave as waves. His hypothesis was experimentally confirmed by the Davisson-Germer experiment, which demonstrated electron diffraction. This showed that matter exhibits both wave and particle properties, depending on how it is measured.
