Speed of Life by Carol Weston Pdf

From award winning author Carol Weston comes an uplifting, heartfelt tale of bravery and strength in the face of loss and grief, perfect for tweens, teens and adults alike. "I will eagerly place it on my daughter's bookshelf, so that she, like Sofia, can find her own resilience and voice in our painful, joyful, speeding world."—New York Times Sofia lost her mother eight months ago, and her friends were 100% there for her. Now it's a new year and they're ready for Sofia to move on. But being a motherless daughter is hard to get used to, especially when you're only fourteen. Problem is, Sofia can't bounce back, can't recharge like a cellphone. She decides to write Dear Kate, an advice columnist for Fifteen Magazine, and is surprised to receive a fast reply. Soon the two are exchanging emails, and Sofia opens up and spills all, including a few worries that are totally embarrassing. Turns out even advice columnists don't have all the answers, and one day Sofia learns a secret that flips her world upside down. 2018 Best Fiction for Young Adults - American Library Association A 2018 Best Children's Book of the Year - Bank Street College of Education 2017 Best Fiction for Older Readers - Chicago Public Library 2019 2020 Young Hoosier Book Award Longlist Four STARRED Reviews Read the first page from Speed of Life: WARNING: This is kind of a sad story. At least at first. So if you don't like sad stories, maybe you shouldn't read this. I mean, I'd understand if you put it down and watched cat videos instead. I like cat videos too. Then again, this book is already in your hands. It starts and ends on January 1, and I was thinking of calling it The Year My Whole Life Changed. Or Life, Death, and Kisses. Or maybe even The Year I Grew Up. For me, being fourteen was hard. Really hard. Childhood was a piece of cake. Being a kid in New York City and spending summers in Spain, that was all pretty perfect, looking back. But being fourteen was like climbing a mountain in the rain. In flip-flops. I hoped I'd wind up in a different place, but I kept tripping and slipping and falling and wishing it weren't way too late to turn around. This book does have funny parts. And I learned two giant facts: Number one: everything can change in an instant—for worse, sure, but also for better. Number two: sometimes, if you just keep climbing, you get an amazing view. You see what's behind you and what's ahead of you and—the big surprise—what's inside you.

Improving Variability and Precision of Air-void Analyzer (AVA) Test Results and Developing Rational Specification Limits by Anonim Pdf

Since air-void analyzer (AVA) was introduced in the 1990s, various studies have been conducted in the United States to apply this technology. Many concerns are raised on (a) the variation of the AVA tests, (b) the relationship between AVA and other standard measurements, and (c) AVA specification limits. The application of AVA tests in concrete practice is therefore very challenging. The goals of the present research project are to reduce variability and improve precision of AVA test results and to develop rational specification limits for controlling concrete freezing and thawing (F-T) damage using the AVA test parameters. The project consists of three phases: Phase 1 -- Literature search and analysis of existing AVA data (June 2007-August 2008), Phase 2 -- AVA testing procedures and specification modification and Phase 3 -- Field study of AVA and specification refinement. In the present research report, the major activities and findings of the Phase 1 study are presented, and the major tasks for the Phase 2 study are recommended. The major activities of the Phase 1 study included the following: performing a literature search, collecting and reviewing available AVA data, completing a statistical analysis on collected AVA data, and carrying out some AVA trial tests in lab. The results indicate that AVA is a time- and cost-effective tool for concrete quality control. However, robustness of the AVA equipment, test procedures, and resulting interoperations need further improvement for a proper implementation of the AVA technology in concrete practice.

Data Processing and Reconciliation for Chemical Process Operations by José A. Romagnoli,Mabel Cristina Sanchez Pdf

Computer techniques have made online measurements available at every sampling period in a chemical process. However, measurement errors are introduced that require suitable techniques for data reconciliation and improvements in accuracy. Reconciliation of process data and reliable monitoring are essential to decisions about possible system modifications (optimization and control procedures), analysis of equipment performance, design of the monitoring system itself, and general management planning. While the reconciliation of the process data has been studied for more than 20 years, there is no single source providing a unified approach to the area with instructions on implementation. Data Processing and Reconciliation for Chemical Process Operations is that source. Competitiveness on the world market as well as increasingly stringent environmental and product safety regulations have increased the need for the chemical industry to introduce such fast and low cost improvements in process operations. Introduces the first unified approach to this important field Bridges theory and practice through numerous worked examples and industrial case studies Provides a highly readable account of all aspects of data classification and reconciliation Presents the reader with material, problems, and directions for further study
