New Release Books by Michael Montgomery

Boy and Shannon are running from the jackals. They find themselves trapped. A new angel takes Shannon to another time and tries to take Shannons soul. Boy finds the second book then fights in the ring of blood. Noahs new love is taken from him. He meets new people and finds new friends, new angels, and some giants. He fights dinosaurs and spiders to stay alive and tries to find his father and friends. It all comes down to the end. Who lives?

Programming WCF Services is the authoritative, bestselling guide to Microsoft’s unified platform for developing modern, service-oriented applications on Windows. Hailed as the definitive treatment of WCF, this guide provides unique insight, rather than documentation, to help you learn the topics and skills you need for building maintainable, extensible, and reusable WCF-based applications. Authors Juval Löwy—one of the world’s top .NET experts—and Michael Montgomery have revised this edition to include the productivity-enhancing features of .NET Framework 4.6, along with the latest WCF ideas and techniques. By teaching you the why and the how of WCF programming, this book will help you master WCF and make you a better software engineer. Learn WCF’s architecture and essential building blocks, including key concepts such as reliability and transport sessions Use built-in features such as service contracts, instance and concurrency management, transactions, queued services, and security Increase the quality of your WCF services by using design options, tips, and best practices in Löwy’s ServiceModelEx framework Understand the rationale behind particular design decisions, and rarely understood aspects of WCF development Learn why Azure Service Fabric is the killer app for modern DevOps

Over the last 350 years, Ireland has sent a constant stream of emigrants to North America. Estimates range from 6 to 10 million. Each emigrant spoke English, Irish, or Ulster Scots. Many indeed used two of these tongues. One of the most formative chapters in this fascinating story is the often-overlooked arrival of perhaps 200,000 people from Ulster in the colonial era, specifically in the sixty years before the American Revolution. This book recounts the lasting impact they made on the development of the,English language of the United States from the 18th century to the present day. It documents nearly 400 terms and meanings, each with quotations from both sides of the Atlantic, that were contributed to American English by these 18th-century settlers from Ulster. Drawing on letters they sent back to their homeland and on other archival documents associated with their settlement, including local fiction and poetry, it shows that Ulster emigrants and their children, who settled mainly in the American interior, gave as much to regional American English as any other group from the Old World. Its pages contain many pleasant surprises: readers will find terms both instantly recognisable and unfamiliar. The numerous quotations not only bring alive the speech of earlier days on both sides of the Atlantic but also extend our understanding of the culture, mannerisms and life of those pioneering times and, through the spoken and written word, poignantly link the past with the present.

This is a wonderful book of words and phrases that gives poetry new meaning. Michael Montgomery Matthews is a poet who uses life experiences to express the things that all people can feel and relate to. This is not a how to, but, rather, a how it is book.

The OWL and the PUSSY CATS tells the tragic story of a man who gave such pleasure to countless millions of children, yet was deprived the joy of having any of his own.

Offers exercises, quizzes, and strategies designed to improve one''s spelling skills, teach spelling tricks, and aid in the identification of thousands of commonly misspelled words

On the final grade of the Hop, Step, Jump series, this story aims to reflect the level of reading reached at the end of primary school. Madisa sells water, it is hard work but she escapes with her dreams and ambitions.

Amina is very shy. Although she is trained in first aid, she doesn''t think she is very good at anything. A terrible accident on a school trip makes her forget her shyness. Amina is the only one who knows what to do.

Often considered merely a repository of archaic or even Elizabethan English, the language of southern Appalachia represents a distinctive American dialect that is both conservative and innovative. This dictionary marks the first comprehensive, historical record of the traditional speech of this region. Focusing on the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee and western North Carolina, it features more than six thousand names, usages, meanings, and folk expressions that are found in the region, exemplified by more than fifteen thousand documented quotations.

"This work aims to inform the formulation and processing of polymer mixtures through the use of models that have minimally sufficient complexity. Models with minimal complexity are easier to develop, understand, explain, and extend, all of which underpin model validation, verification, and reproducibility. We develop simplified models for two different material systems, semiconducting polymers and thermosets. With the relatively low cost of predicting morphologies enabled by these models, we investigate structure-property-processing relationships in record system sizes and combinatorial parameter spaces. The insight from these models lays the foundation for improving the efficiency of organic solar cells and air travel. The morphology of the active layer of an organic solar cell determines its efficiency, but is also the most difficult aspect to control during manufacturing. Morphology can in principle be controlled through the thermodynamic self-assembly of active layer components. We develop models of two semiconducting polymers. We find our predictions are validated by morphological and charge transport measurements from experiments and we provide guidance for optimizing conditions for self-assembly. Thermoset polymers present a unique modeling challenge because their properties are sensitive to processing kinetics that are at odds with thermodynamic modeling frameworks. The primary source of this difficulty is bridging time (1 x 10 ̄12s) and length scales (1 x10 ̄10m) of reaction dynamics with the time (1 x 102s) and length scales (1 x 10 ̄6m) of morphology evolution. We implement a coarse-grained model of toughened thermosets where each amine, epoxy, and toughener mer is treated as a single simulation element. This simplification allows us to reach the time and length scales necessary to model the epoxy amine reaction and observe curing-driven morphology evolution. We simulate curing of (100 nm)3, million-particle volumes, which allows observation of experimentally-relevant volume evolution. To practice behaviors necessary for computational research to be usable and reproduced by others, we make available all the models, initial configurations, submission scripts, analysis scripts, and simulation data associated with this work with an opensource, permissive license. We describe software development practices and design choices that make this possible and discuss opportunities for improvement in future computational materials research."--Boise State University ScholarWorks.
