Marcy Hammer's husband, the head of a global brassiere empire, didn't think twice about leaving her after thirty-three years of marriage for a 32DD lingerie model. She manages to find traces of humor in her heartbreak and has no intention of falling apart. When her adult children drop a few bombshells of their own and she discovers a secret about her new, once-in-a-lifetime friend, Marcy just may be able to handle them all.

Fundamentals of Gas Lift Engineering: Well Design and Troubleshooting discusses the important topic of oil and gas reservoirs as they continue to naturally deplete, decline, and mature, and how more oil and gas companies are trying to divert their investments in artificial lift methods to help prolong their assets. While not much physically has changed since the invention of the King Valve in the 1940s, new developments in analytical procedures, computational tools and software, and many related technologies have completely changed the way production engineers and well operators face the daily design and troubleshooting tasks and challenges of gas lift, which can now be carried out faster, and in a more accurate and productive way, assuming the person is properly trained. This book fulfills this training need with updates on the latest gas lift designs, troubleshooting techniques, and real-world field case studies that can be applied to all levels of situations, including offshore. Making operational and troubleshooting techniques central to the discussion, the book empowers the engineer, new and experienced, to analyze the challenge involved and make educated adjustments and conclusions in the most economical and practical way. Packed with information on computer utilization, inflow and outflow performance analysis, and worked calculation examples made for training, the book brings fresh air and innovation to a long-standing essential component in a well’s lifecycle. Covers essential gas lift design, troubleshooting, and the latest developments in R&D Provides real-world field experience and techniques to solve both onshore and offshore challenges Offers past and present analytical and operational techniques available in an easy-to-read manner Features information on computer utilization, inflow and outflow performance analysis, and worked calculation training examples

The basic theory of the induced lift and drag of nonplanar, circulation lifting systems is investigated, and conformal transformation and electrical-analog techniques are developed for determining the minimum induced drag of arbitrary systems. Several complex systems are analyzed to illustrate the procedures. Problems attending the practical application of the results to airfoil design are discussed and possible solutions suggested.

Introduction -- Symbols -- Fundamental theoretical considerations -- The principle of vorticity attenuation -- The effective aspect ratio of nonplanar lifting systems -- Determination of the span loading distribution for minimum induced drag -- Solutions for the effective aspect ratio of optimally loaded arcs -- Solutions for more complex systems -- The induced lift of nonplanar systems -- Practical application considerations -- Concluding remarks -- References.

Darryl and Wanda have the parenting thing down all right, but they still continue to be surprised by the delightfully devilish antics of their two live-wire children. From first steps to bedtime snacks, from shopping adventures to sibling rivalry, Zoe and Hamish keep their parents on the move and the rest of us in stitches. Baby Blues chronicles the chaotic entertaining lives of the MacPherson clan as they chart a course through the everyday demands of family life. In a style that speaks to parents and nonparents alike, Baby Blues charms its followers with scenes of child-rearing mayhem and devotion. In Lift and Separate, Wanda and Darryl continue to confront the ever-changing challenges of raising two active youngsters.
