“I’m proof that God still rescues people.” —Jose Rodriquez, founder and CEO, Rescue a Generation 
Have you ever felt like you were drowning, fighting to catch your next breath? Millions of urban students feel the waves of depression, trauma, and brokenness relentlessly pulling them under—with no one willing or equipped to show them the way to safety. You want to step in. You want to provide the gospel lifeboat they need, but you can’t do it on your own. What they need is Jesus. 
In Rescue a Generation, Jose Rodriguez, a long-time urban student ministry veteran, will inspire you to step outside your comfort zone with real-life stories of how urban youth are being transformed by the gospel, and he’ll equip you with the tools you need to genuinely connect with those hard-to-reach students your ministry is missing.

Describes the general principles and current research into Model Predictive Control (MPC);&nbsp; the most up-to-date control method for power converters and drives The book starts with an introduction to the subject before the first chapter on classical control methods for power converters and drives. This covers classical converter control methods and classical electrical drives control methods. The next chapter on Model predictive control first looks at predictive control methods for power converters and drives and presents the basic principles of MPC. It then looks at MPC for power electronics and drives. The third chapter is on predictive control applied to power converters. It discusses: control of a three-phase inverter; control of a neutral point clamped inverter; control of an active front end rectifier, &and; control of a matrix converter. In the middle of the book there is Chapter four - Predictive control applied to motor drives. This section analyses predictive torque control of industrial machines and predictive control of permanent magnet synchronous motors. Design and implementation issues of model predictive control is the subject of the final chapter. The following topics are described in detail: cost function selection; weighting factors design; delay compensation; effect of model errors, and prediction of future references. While there are hundreds of books teaching control of electrical energy using pulse width modulation, this will be the very first book published in this new topic. <ul> <li>Unique in presenting a completely new theoretic solution to control electric power in a simple way</li> <li>Discusses the application of predictive control in motor drives, with several examples and case studies</li> <li>Matlab is included on a complementary website so the reader can run their own simulations</li> </ul>

The Miraculous Infant

My life was forever changed on June 14, 1985. I was finishing my third year of medical school that summer and expecting my firstborn child in a few weeks. My idealistic world was shattered abruptly that day, and it led directly to experiencing a miracle firsthand. It has become my mission to relate this miraculous, divine intervention to as many people as possible, and that is the basis for writing this book. It has taken me years to write about this most painful time in my life as well as the most glorious. It is still painful to even read what I have recounted here for you. I hope that I can bring some sense of peace and understanding to people who are suffering from a lack of reasoning or explanation for what they may be going through in their own lives. My son, Nicholas, was born unexpectedly that summer morning without any signs of life. He endured an extended cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in the operating room and a prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) hospital course in a deep coma, with full life support on 100 percent oxygen. This true story is the description of a miracle that led to his complete and sudden recovery, with no signs of brain injury or other adverse sequela. I am in a unique position to evaluate the events surrounding this miracle because of my medical background. The purpose of this book is to bring the message of Divine love and intervention to those most in need of understanding. The devotion to the Miraculous Infant Jesus of Prague has been around since the seventeenth century and will continue until the end of time. It should be no surprise that this icon of regal divinity should be found in most of our Catholic churches throughout the world, centuries after the devotion first began.

Criminal Law

Whether silently coveting the birthday gifts of a privileged classmate, trying to connect with a mother’s ghost-like presence, or interrogating the dehumanizing impulse of an Arizona minuteman, the speaker of these poems often finds himself on the “wrong” side of the border that delineates a space of belonging, marginalized or estranged from his surroundings, observing the Other with a sense of both awe and bewilderment.  As such, the poems invite the reader to consider the relationship between life observed and life lived, between detachment and experience, between at-homeness and exile.  In the poem “Backlit”, for example, the speaker is transfixed by the darkening silhouette of a loved one standing before a window, this presence becoming an absence in the shape of a human body; he thinks to speak but doesn’t, foreshadowing the final poem about an intimate friend coming to terms with his imminent mortality through the quiet contemplation of an possum’s skeleton.  These poems, navigating a landscape marked by political, physical, and emotional trauma, ultimately point to the potential of the sensual self – of touch – to transcend the limits of language.
