Typical of the modern woman, Nancy Mercurio was a wife, a mother, owned and operated one business, was co-owner of a second, taught three classes per semester at a community college PLUS took classes to complete her master's degree. She was over-extended and overwhelmed. Added to her career stresses, Nancy had undergone eleven surgeries and was placed in a full body cast twice, once for nine months. She had also been physically and mentally abused, married and divorced, was a single parent, and had lost both brother and roommate in tragic deaths. Her life was one of inner chaos. This book is about Nancy Mercurio's escape from the chaos within. With the health of a Naturopathic Physcician, Nancy slowed down, re-established her priorities, developed a healthy eating habit, and improved physically, emotionally, spiritually, and socially. In this book, Nancy she her experience and offers helpful suggestions for the mordern working woman obsessed with getting ahead. Interesting and helping reading.
Download or read book Eliminate Chaos written by Laura Leist and published by Sasquatch Books. This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eliminate Chaos is a user-friendly system for organizing each room of the house, including the kitchen and pantry, closet, garage, home office, and childrens' rooms. The author’s ten-step system is presented in an easy-to-use, workbook-style layout. Full-color photos demonstrate the various stages of the organizing process, illustrating not just "before and after," but the realistic, messy, all-important steps in between. Leist’s method is based on the underlying principle that "it’s not about the stuff." She touches on the psychological reasons behind clutter and not letting go — such as procrastination, denial, thrift, and family history — but her underlying premise is that being organized is an on-going process, not a one-day event. By learning to sort, prioritize, and make fast, rational decisions about their household goods, readers become more efficient and functional not just at home, but in other areas of life as well.

Book excerpt: Gordon Korman’s uproarious, outrageous, and all-too-familiar summer camp adventure is BACK! Rudy Miller really isn’t into the whole camping thing. So when his parents send him to Camp Algonkian “for his own good” all he wants to do is go home. Rudy teams up with his cabin-mate Mike for a series of carefully planned — yet hilariously bungled — escape attempts. Unfortunately, their counsellor (and nemesis) Chip is as determined to keep them there as they are to get away. Rudy and Mike spend their days plotting, playing chess, and working off punishments for their failed escapes. Hmmm, maybe it isn’t such a bad way to spend the summer after all . . .
Download or read book Order and Chaos in Dynamical Astronomy written by George Contopoulos and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 633 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is one of the first to provide a general overview of order and chaos in dynamical astronomy. The progress of the theory of chaos has a profound impact on galactic dynamics. It has even invaded celestial mechanics, since chaos was found in the solar system which in the past was considered as a prototype of order. The book provides a unifying approach to these topics from an author who has spent more than 50 years of research in the field. The first part treats order and chaos in general. The other two parts deal with order and chaos in galaxies and with other applications in dynamical astronomy, ranging from celestial mechanics to general relativity and cosmology.

Download or read book The Camps of God Out of the Chaos Into the Kingdom written by John F. Finkbeiner and published by BookLocker.com, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Nothing in the world is as powerful as an idea whose time has come,” so wrote 19th century French author, Victor Hugo. The Camps of God is a powerful heaven-sent idea that will rescue a great multitude from the growing chaos and lead them on a path of escape toward the coming Kingdom of God. "The Camps of God" did not originate with men. It comes to us from God's Word. We know of it because the Spirit's veil has been lifted. Insights have been shown from Scripture and written in The Camps of God’s pages. Chapters such as “Escape,” “Invitation to a Feast,” and “A Powerful Defense,” will reveal the Lord’s perfect plan. Be warned about the Broad Gate and the Broad Road. They lead only to destruction. By faith, enter the narrow gate. After God’s work in His Camp is complete, saints will come out the other side prepared to meet Jesus in the clouds. This book is not for everybody. Not everyone sees the direction the world is headed. Many do not see civilization spinning out of control. The chosen fear God and see signs we are near the end of this age. Cover-to-cover, the saints will read with joy then take action. Great ideas are forever. "The Camps of God" will sound the trumpet. Happy are those ready and eager to move out of the chaos and into Jesus' Kingdom.
Download or read book Predictability Stability and Chaos in N Body Dynamical Systems written by Archie E. Roy and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reader will find in this volume the Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute held in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy between August 6 and August 17, 1990 under the title "Predictability, Stability, and Chaos in N-Body Dynamical Systems". The Institute was the latest in a series held at three-yearly inter vals from 1972 to 1987 in dynamical astronomy, theoretical mechanics and celestial mechanics. These previous institutes, held in high esteem by the international community of research workers, have resulted in a series of well-received Proceedings. The 1990 Institute attracted 74 participants from 16 countries, six outside the NATO group. Fifteen series of lectures were given by invited speakers; additionally some 40 valuable presentations were made by the younger participants, most of which are included in these Proceedings. The last twenty years in particular has been a time of increasingly rapid progress in tackling long-standing and also newly-arising problems in dynamics of N-body systems, point-mass and non-point-mass, a rate of progress achieved because of correspondingly rapid developments of new computer hardware and software together with the advent of new analytical techniques. It was a time of exciting progress culminating in the ability to carry out research programmes into the evolution of the outer Solar 8 System over periods of more than 10 years and to study star cluster and galactic models in unprecedented detail.
Download or read book From Newton to Chaos written by Archie E. Roy and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 573 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reader will find in this volume the Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute held in Cortina d' Ampezzo, Italy, between July 25 and August 6, 1993, under the title From Newton to Chaos: Modem Techniques for Understanding and Coping With Chaos inN-Body Dynamical Systems. This institute was the latest in a series of meetings held every three years from 1972 to 1990 in dynamical astronomy, theoretical mechanics and celestial mechanics. The proceedings from these institutes have been well-received in the international community of research workers in these disciplines. The present institute was well attended with 15 series of lectures being given by invited speakers: in addition some 40 presentations were made by the other participants. The majority of these contributions are included in these proceedings. The all-pervading influence of chaos in dynamical systems (of even a few variables) has now been universally recognised by researchers, a recognition forced on us by our ability, using powerful computer hardware and software, to tackle dynamical problems that until twenty-five years ago were intractable. Doubtless it was felt by many that these new techniques provided a break-through in celestial mechanics and its related disciplines. And so they were.

Download or read book Perfect Chaos written by Linea Johnson and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2012-05-08 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Johnsons were a close and loving family living in the Seattle area - two parents, two incomes, two bright and accomplished daughters. They led busy lives filled with music lessons, college preparation, career demands, and laughter around the dinner table. Then the younger daughter, Linea, started experiencing crippling bouts of suicidal depression. Multiple trips to the psych ward resulted in a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, and it took many trial runs of drugs and ultimately electroshock therapy to bring Linea back. But her family never gave up on her. And Linea never stopped trying to find her way back to them. Perfect Chaos is the story of a mother and daughter's journey through mental illness towards hope. From initial worrying symptoms to long sleepless nights to cross-country flights and the slow understanding and rebuilding of trust, Perfect Chaos tells Linea and Cinda's harrowing and inspiring story, of an illness that they conquer together every day. It is the story of a daughter's courage, a mother's faith, and the love that carried them through the darkest times.
Download or read book Chaos in Gravitational N Body Systems written by J.C. Muzzio and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Workshop on Chaos in Gravitational N -Body Systems was held in La Plata, Argentina, from July 31 through August 3, 1995. The School of Astronomy and Geophysics of La Plata National University, best known as La Plata Observatory, was the host institution. The Observatory (cover photo) was founded in 1883, and it has nowadays about 120 faculty members and 70 non-faculty members devoted to teaching and research in different areas of astronomy and geophysics. It was very nice to see how many people, from young students to well recognized authorities in the field, came to participate in the meeting. This audience success was due to the increasing understanding of the neces sity to gather together people from Celestial Mechanics and Stellar Dynamics to explore the problems that exist at the frontier of these two disciplines and their common interest in chaotic phenomena and integrability (the famous Argentine beef was, certainly, also an attraction!). All the papers of the present volume were refereed. Most were accepted after some revision, while some needed no change at all (compli ments to their authors!) and, sadly, a few could not be included. About half a dozen authors did not submit their contributions for publication, mainly because they were already in print elsewhere. Therefore, the special issue of Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy includes all the invited lectures of the workshop, while the proceedings volume includes those same lectures plus the bulk of, but Bot all, the contributions to the meeting.

Download or read book Control Of Homoclinic Chaos By Weak Periodic Perturbations written by Ricardo Chacon and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2005-11-21 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph presents a reasonably rigorous theory of a highly relevant chaos control method: suppression-enhancement of chaos by weak periodic excitations in low-dimensional, dissipative and non-autonomous systems. The theory provides analytical estimates of the ranges of parameters of the chaos-controlling excitation for suppression-enhancement of the initial chaos.The important applications of the theory presented in the book include: (1) control of chaotic escape from a potential well; (2) suppression of chaos in a driven Josephson junction; (3) control of chaotic solitons in Frenkel-Kontorova chains; (4) control of chaotic breather dynamics in perturbed sine-Gordon equations; (5) control of chaotic charged particles in electrostatic wave packets.
