Tammond Dale, a peaceful burg of succor and madness cowers at the whim of Rabbit Rue, who sups upon the souls of the undone. Malicious Rue, spinner of dreams that rend and tempt oblivion to swirl through madness and despair, rules unopposed and unknown, biding 'till his shackles fall to cinders. This town has failed to shrug the churn and plods among the damned, clinging to tattered shreds of former, clich d lives. When providence blows Kyle and his family to the harrowed gulch and into the arms of Adriana, the girl Rue so jealously guards, he too becomes snared within warped visions of insanity and horror. Confused and fatigued by Rue's cruel assault, he unearths clues that lead to Old Town, a hollow bastion of Tammond Dale's uneasy past. But to resist is exhausting, and he withers, and Rue is aided by relentless minions in wisps of swirling shadow. His life, humanity, and realty all hinge on understanding he lacks. His only hope exists beyond time, and the glimmer of escape from chaos it can offer...

Master over 100 recipes to design and implement a highly available server with the advanced features of PostgreSQL About This Book • Create a PostgreSQL cluster that stays online even when disaster strikes • Avoid costly downtime and data loss that can ruin your business • Updated to include the newest features introduced in PostgreSQL 9.6 with hands-on industry-driven recipes Who This Book Is For If you are a PostgreSQL DBA working on Linux systems who want a database that never gives up, this book is for you. If you've ever experienced a database outage, restored from a backup, spent hours trying to repair a malfunctioning cluster, or simply want to guarantee system stability, this book is definitely for you. What You Will Learn • Protect your data with PostgreSQL replication and management tools such as Slony, Bucardo, pglogical, and WAL-E • Hardware planning to help your database run efficiently • Prepare for catastrophes and prevent them before they happen • Reduce database resource contention with connection pooling using pgpool and PgBouncer • Automate monitoring and alerts to visualize cluster activity using Nagios and collected • Construct a robust software stack that can detect and fix outages • Learn simple PostgreSQL High Availability with Patroni, or dive into the full power of Pacemaker. In Detail Databases are nothing without the data they store. In the event of a failure - catastrophic or otherwise - immediate recovery is essential. By carefully combining multiple servers, it's even possible to hide the fact a failure occurred at all. From hardware selection to software stacks and horizontal scalability, this book will help you build a versatile PostgreSQL cluster that will survive crashes, resist data corruption, and grow smoothly with customer demand. It all begins with hardware selection for the skeleton of an efficient PostgreSQL database cluster. Then it's on to preventing downtime as well as troubleshooting some real life problems that administrators commonly face. Next, we add database monitoring to the stack, using collectd, Nagios, and Graphite. And no stack is complete without replication using multiple internal and external tools, including the newly released pglogical extension. Pacemaker or Raft consensus tools are the final piece to grant the cluster the ability to heal itself. We even round off by tackling the complex problem of data scalability. This book exploits many new features introduced in PostgreSQL 9.6 to make the database more efficient and adaptive, and most importantly, keep it running. Style and approach This book contains practical recipes that will help the reader solve real world problems related to high availability in PostgreSQL. Every recipe is explained in detail, with relevant explanations, tips and tricks provided for quicker and easier understanding.

The definitive book on what is known about the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene archaeological record in the Southeast The 1996 benchmark volume The Paleoindian and Early Archaic Southeast, edited by David G. Anderson and Kenneth E. Sassaman, was the first study to summarize what was known of the peoples who lived in the Southeast when ice sheets covered the northern part of the continent and mammals such as mammoths, saber-toothed cats, and ground sloths roamed the landscape.The American Southeast at the End of the Ice Age provides an updated, definitive synthesis of current archaeological research gleaned from an array of experts in the region. It is organized in three parts: state records, the regional perspective, and reflections and future directions. Chapters survey a diversity of topics including the distribution of the earliest archaeological sites in the region, chipped-stone tool technology, the expanding role of submerged archaeology, hunter-gatherer lifeways, past climate changes and the extinction of megafauna on the transitional landscape, and evidence of demographic changes at the end of the Ice Age. Discussion of the ethical responsibilities regarding the use of private collections and the relationship of archaeologists and the avocational community, insight from outside the Southeast, and considerations for future research round out the volume.

Generalizations of Thomae's Formula for Zn Curves

Generalizations of Thomae's Formula for Zn Curves

Hershel M. Farkas; Shaul Zemel

Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
2010
sidottu
Previous publications on the generalization of the Thomae formulae to Zn curves have emphasized the theory's implications in mathematical physics and depended heavily on applied mathematical techniques. This book redevelops these previous results demonstrating how they can be derived directly from the basic properties of theta functions as functions on compact Riemann surfaces. "Generalizations of Thomae's Formula for Zn Curves" includes several refocused proofs developed in a generalized context that is more accessible to researchers in related mathematical fields such as algebraic geometry, complex analysis, and number theory. This book is intended for mathematicians with an interest in complex analysis, algebraic geometry or number theory as well as physicists studying conformal field theory.

Totally Nonnegative Matrices

Totally Nonnegative Matrices

Shaun M. Fallat; Charles R. Johnson

Princeton University Press
2011
sidottu
Totally nonnegative matrices arise in a remarkable variety of mathematical applications. This book is a comprehensive and self-contained study of the essential theory of totally nonnegative matrices, defined by the nonnegativity of all subdeterminants. It explores methodological background, historical highlights of key ideas, and specialized topics. The book uses classical and ad hoc tools, but a unifying theme is the elementary bidiagonal factorization, which has emerged as the single most important tool for this particular class of matrices. Recent work has shown that bidiagonal factorizations may be viewed in a succinct combinatorial way, leading to many deep insights. Despite slow development, bidiagonal factorizations, along with determinants, now provide the dominant methodology for understanding total nonnegativity. The remainder of the book treats important topics, such as recognition of totally nonnegative or totally positive matrices, variation diminution, spectral properties, determinantal inequalities, Hadamard products, and completion problems associated with totally nonnegative or totally positive matrices. The book also contains sample applications, an up-to-date bibliography, a glossary of all symbols used, an index, and related references.

CELENIC EARTH: A WORLD OF MIGHT, MAGIC AND MYSTICAL CREATURESA shadow lurks over the earth, as foul creatures attack the villages. The leader of hurorcs and purorcs commands them to attack the southern tribes, and is captured. But Mercius, once known as the Windfarer, finally breaks free after years of imprisonment and sets his sight upon the Asbec College of Elements where an ancient power is rumoured to be hidden. Shadowolf is in his last year of studies at the Azbec College of Elements when word of the escape spreads. Strange things happen and he becomes entwined in a world of mystery and murder, using the power of the elements to survive. As war erupts, Shadowolf returns home and does everything in his ability to protect the five southern wolf tribes. For his effort he merely frustrates Mercius's plans, but significantly learns that Mercius is subservient to a dark lord; someone more powerful, known as Le'Mar. Between the protection of his family, the loyalty of the Shadow Clan and the new-found love of his life, can he pull himself away to stop Mercius from reaching the potent power node? For neither the elves nor the dwarves can stop him should he gain the power he seeks. Even the dark lord seems troubled.The Masaran Phenomenon approaches, and the "Prophecy of the Windfarer" is upon tREVIEWS AND PRAISE"Jooste's imagination has depth of both scale and scope, with parallels between this imaginary world and the real world, characterised by an interesting contrast between the industrialised evil forces and the 'natural' forces of good..."- Thomas Jeffery; NELM News 49, Dec 2008: National English Literary Museum of South Africa "Fans of high fantasy such as Tolkien, Terry Brooks or David Eddings will be well pleased with Jooste's first novels and foray into the popular genre...He is finding his rhythm and style, doing a great job of making the reader care for the hero and characters; these books will be in my rotation of heavily reread fantasy novels in my bookshelf."Ellen Hotchkiss; Feb 2009: Lecturer, Milledgeville, Georgia "If you are looking for an epic, sweeping expanse fantasy book to read, then this is it. Congratulations to Shaun Jooste for entering the world of print in the fantasy genre with a tale that will be picked up again and again just so I can immerse myself into his richly described world that is Celenic Earth."C Melrose; Goodreads review; Jan 2016: Writer, Perth, Australia

DRAGONS ARE COMING TO CELENIC EARTH TO END A WAR RAGING ON FOR CENTURIESPernonil was lost to the Elves....the southern lands forsaken by the tribes....Chenesia lost to the Vale...Shadowolf lost to the world...It has been two years since Shadowolf released the power node and destroyed Mercius; since he had been mysteriously taken by a dragon to Bentley Strip. But rumours of the dragons are stirring in New Avalion, and one of them is that the son of Nighthale has returned. The Shadow Clan reform and set out to him in the Strip, and they meet a man wiser and more powerful than before. They quickly learn that Shadowolf had been in another world with Asgorna the Dragon King in what is called the Dragon War, a war that has leaked into Celenic Earth and that the dark lord Le'Mar plans to use to his advantage. Ursula the unicorn joins their Clan, and urges Shadowolf to find a horn lost in the Battle of T'Mar's Scourge. The horn holds untold power and would assist in defeating the dark lord. But on their way they find many obstacles, including the undead, witches, the Butcher of Philagis and Firestroms. Quietly, Le'Mar is preparing his new champion for the War, Sonersaat the DragonRider. As his quest grows larger, Shadowolf decides to enter Eldor's Forest, find Eldor and Masara and await Le'Mar. It is a war the earth has been anticipating....and it is a war with the direst consequences.The "Prophecy of the DragonRider" is upon them...If You Love Tolkien, Skyrim, or The Witcher...If you enjoy books like The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones, or games like The Witcher and The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, you'll feel right at home in the immersive, mythic world of the Celenic Earth Chronicles.

LE'MAR THE OMNIPOTENT, THE OMNIPRESENT, THE OMNISCIENTThe Battle for Eldor's Forest cost the world not only the elvin forest, but also every chance they had of standing up against the dark lord. The Southern Wolf tribes live defenceless in New Avalion, their walls shaken to the ground and the art of the elements forbidden. The mer-Kingdom was defeated in Avalendil, with no knowledge of where the survivors reside. The elves have left for the Far Isles, leaving the ancient forest to the rule of Le'Mar's new servant, Darcwulf. And all across the land lies Le'Mar's fog, his ever-present window to all that is happening on the land. The people of the earth have lived in relative peace in the two years since Shadowolf's victory over Sonersaat the DragonRider, a victory that had almost cost him his life when he challenged Le'Mar thereafter. With no knowledge of where the hero escaped to and under the watchful gaze of Le'Mar and Darcwulf, the earth makes no move to retaliate against the dark lord. It is in such circumstances that Shadowolf returns with powerful allies at his side. Determined to take back the world from Le'Mar's clutches, he begins his quest for four powerful artefacts encrusted with the tomes of time. Entwined in this quest is his personal mission to find and reclaim those he loves and lost. Yet, the greatest undertaking he faces is to convince the world to fight for their freedom. This time, Shadowolf is taking the war to Le'Mar.

There is a Great Library hidden deep within the mountains of the Hindu Kush which is said to house the knowledge of all things, both known and still unknown, both past and of the future. Revealed only to a secret society, this library has come to exist over many millennia because of the accumulative efforts of thousands of dedicated seekers, sages, philosophers, and prophets alike, whose purpose during earthly life is the collection and preservation of universal truth. This is the story of four unusual characters, an Englishman, an Irishman, a Scot, and an American, who in the early twentieth century, chart a journey to find the lost antiquities of the world. Finding much more than the treasures of forgotten kings, they discover the wonders of the very meaning of life itself. This book is not only an adventure into strange faraway lands, but a journey into the human mind that will leave you questioning the very foundation of what you have believed all of your life to be true...

A timely and significant examination of how Black athletes have used their influence to create meaningful change and reform for Black Americans.In the age of social media, athletes have a powerful influence like never before. Many Black athletes have used that power in positive ways, galvanizing their platforms to create impactful educational opportunities, donate to Black social causes, and raise political awareness on important issues. In The Black Athlete Revolt: The Sport Justice Movement in the Age of #BlackLivesMatter, Shaun M. Anderson examines the Black athlete’s rise in advocating for social justice and how today’s athletes have moved beyond protesting to create substantial change for Black Americans. Anderson reflects on the history and evolution of Black athlete activism, breaking down its importance during the civil rights movement, the commodification of athletes during the 1990s, and how twenty-first century athletes have utilized their wealth and influence to create lasting societal change in the age of #BlackLivesMatter.With fascinating portraits of notable individuals in the history of Black activism, as well as insights from athletes and allies who discuss the future of athlete activism, The Black Athlete Revolt reveals the ever-evolving and crucial role of Black athletes beyond the world of sports.
