The official Australian casualty statistics for the men of the Australian Imperial Force in the First World War are seriously wrong, with significant inaccuracies and omissions. Groundbreaking research exhaustively examining more than 12,000 individual soldiers records has revealed that hospitalizations for wounding, illness, and injury suffered by men of the AIF are five times greater than officially acknowledged today. Why has it taken nearly 100 years for this to come to light? Was it a conspiracy to suppress the toll, incompetence of Australia s official war historians Bean and Butler, or was it simply the unquestioning acceptance of the official record? The startling findings in this study, which began when author David Noonan first read the letters written by his grandfather from the Western Front, rewrite Australia s casualty statistics of the First World War.

"Emmet Honeycut, a sniper during the Civil War, shoots a girl about to burn to death in a hotel fire. Although acquitted of murder, he becomes a pariah in town, but is reprieved by a telegram from Major Kingston, his former commander.

Enrique Salazar and Yago Garza are merciless cousins who control Santa Sabino and who plan to auction off young girls, including Faith, to wealthy landowners as sex slaves. When Kingston is betrayed and captured, Emmet leads the attack, kills the cousins, and frees the girls. The locals embrace him as their hero"--

Proceedings of a conference held at Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada, October 29-November 4, 1983. This collection contains 29 papers that identify and assemble information on recent applications of mini- and microcomputer technology to problems in urban stormwater and flood management. Instrumentation and data management are reviewed with respect to watershed management and flood forecasting. Computer applications of hydrologic modeling are reported. Hydraulics and water quality models using microcomputers and programmable calculators are presented and applied to urban flooding and runoff and river plume models. Real-time control is reviewed in application to urban runoff forecasting, flood forecasting, and reservoir operation. Implications for the future are discussed, covering software, expert systems and interactive processing.
