"Struggle and Progress" is a culmination of an oblivious yet fiery competitive spirit, catharsis - driven introspection, communal and divine buffering from disaster and accomplishment seemingly against significant odds. Partially set in Trinidad and Tobago, this book is, in part, Inspired by an assembly of our family tree (by Natalie Felix) spanning six generations and dating back to the mid - 1800s with Marie and Jean Fuller, my great-great-grandparents whom I never had the privilege of meeting. And a reflection on my mother's (Joan Elizabeth Fuller's) life from infancy to adulthood - a story decorated with survival and perseverance paving the way for multiple Fuller family success stories.The genesis of this reflection was one summer day in my Westchester, New York condo a couple of years after graduating from Columbia University and having commenced employment as a Research Scientist at IBM Research in New York. My mother was visiting and we were having a casual conversation that took her back four decades to her youth highlighting how she and her siblings were entrusted into adulthood as early adolescents. While I always knew I was battling against history in some sense, it was never more lucid to me than during this conversation of the relative unprecedented nature of my life's success and what that meant in no small part to my mother and many others. It was at this moment that I made the commitment to document and tell my story, our story.
To book a ride on the "World's Shortest Airline" or learn aerial stunts from the redheaded widow of Lawrence Avenue, you've got to go through the airports buried beneath the housing developments and shopping malls of Chicagoland. Many of these airports sprang up after World War I, when training killed more pilots than combat, and the aviation pioneers who developed Chicago's flying fields played a critical role in getting the nation ready to dare the skies in World War II. Author Nick Selig has rolled wheels on his fair share of Chicago's landing strips but faces an entirely new challenge in touching down in places being swallowed by a city and forgotten by history.
Nick Selig excavates the highways to the sky that have been covered up by urban sprawl or dissolved by neglect. More than a guide to landing strips that have had startling second lives as shopping malls or retirement homes, he uncovers the excitement of the early days of air travel, when a man might cling to his job as a lavatory truck driver for a closer peek at aviation. In this follow-up to Lost Airports of Chicago," discover how a tractor swap gave birth to Clow International Airport and revel in the daredevil exploits of puddle-jumper pilots over the wide-open spaces of Harlem Avenue."

The food and drinks sectors occupy the first place in Greek manufacturing industry. The share of food and drinks in total manufacturing industry value added reached 24.7 per cent in 1998. The average size of employment in food and drinks establishments is 5.2 persons per unit and is similar to that for manufacturing industry in general (4.9). Exports and imports of food and drinks increased during the 1980-95 period. However, imports increased faster than exports. As a result, the positive balance of trade turned negative. Although demand for food increased between 1980 and 1998, the share of private expenditure for food in total private expenditure decreased by 8.5 percentage points (thanks to correspondingly low elasticities). The corresponding share for drinks increased by one percentage point during the 1980-90 period and has remained constant since then. The aim of this book is to quantify Greek investors' behaviour at aggregate level for all sectors and all regions over the period 1981-1999, as well as at individual sector level. Investors' behaviour is examined by employing a synthesised traditional model. The traditional model is estimated using alternative panel data methods. First, the dynamic panel data model is estimated with a common intercept by employing the Generalised Method of Moments (GMM). The dynamic panel data formulation is also estimated using the Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimation technique.
If you've used a more traditional object-oriented language, such as C++ or Java, JavaScript probably doesn't seem object-oriented at all. It has no concept of classes, and you don't even need to define any objects in order to write code. But don't be fooled JavaScript is an incredibly powerful and expressive object-oriented language that puts many design decisions right into your hands. In The Principles of Object-Oriented JavaScript, Nicholas C. Zakas thoroughly explores JavaScript's object-oriented nature, revealing the language's unique implementation of inheritance and other key characteristics. You'll learn: The difference between primitive and reference values What makes JavaScript functions so unique The various ways to create objects How to define your own constructors How to work with and understand prototypes Inheritance patterns for types and objects The Principles of Object-Oriented JavaScript will leave even experienced developers with a deeper understanding of JavaScript. Unlock the secrets behind how objects work in JavaScript so you can write clearer, more flexible, and more efficient code.
ECMAScript 6 represents the biggest update to the core of JavaScript in the history of the language. In Understanding ECMAScript 6, expert developer Nicholas C. Zakas provides a complete guide to the object types, syntax, and other exciting changes that ECMAScript 6 brings to JavaScript. Every chapter is packed with example code that works in any JavaScript environment so you ll be able to see new features in action. You ll learn: How ECMAScript 6 class syntax relates to more familiar JavaScript concepts What makes iterators and generators useful How arrow functions differ from regular functions Ways to store data with sets, maps, and more The power of inheritance How to improve asynchronous programming with promises How modules change the way you organize code Whether you re a web developer or a Node.js developer, you ll find Understanding ECMAScript 6 indispensable on your journey from ECMAScript 5 to ECMAScript 6.

Since promises were added to JavaScript in 2015, they have become an integral part of the language. A good understanding of how promises work is more important than ever in becoming a proficient JavaScript developer. This book begins by explaining the basic concepts behind promises, including what they are, how to use them, and how to create your own. You'll then build upon these basic concepts to learn how to chain promises together and how to respond to multiple promises at once. Once you've learned these advanced concepts, you'll move on to learn how promises work with async functions and how to track unhandled promise rejections. All of the concepts discussed are grounded in real world examples so you learn not just how to use a particular technique, but also why and when to use it. It doesn't matter if you're writing JavaScript for web browsers, Node.js, or Deno, this book will teach you everything you need to know about promises.
This is a guide to portable typewriters. It is not meant to be a complete guide, but rather a general overview, made up of specific models, especially American portables from the sixties. It was a labor of love to write.

After three years selling gaskets under the grey skies of England, Nick Brown decided he'd had enough. But how to escape? He knew he would never be rich and famous and his dream of seeing the world seemed out of reach. Eventually he found a way, travelling to the South Pacific to 'captain' a cargo boat running cocoa and copra between the islands. Any notion of a tropical paradise soon evaporated when Nick found himself living without electricity, washing in the river and sailing treacherous seas. But life got better and soon he found himself flying around the country in light aircraft, travelling by dug-out canoe to meet the locals in remote villages, climbing the tallest mountain in Oceania and even sailing the Coral Sea, just for the fun of it. This is his entertaining story of those years.
