Download or read book Even More Schedule for Sale written by Geoff Ryan P.M.P. and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2017-08-25 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even More Schedule for Sale is the second guidebook by Geoff Ryan on the subject of construction productivity for industrial projects. It describes the step-by-step application of the industry’s best practice of advanced work packaging and ties it into the logic from the first book, Schedule for Sale, on workface planning. As the name suggests, there is even more schedule to be gained over just getting the construction team organized (workface planning) by aligning engineering and procurement deliverables with the needs of construction (advanced work packaging). This transition of workface planning into advanced work packaging is the bigger picture of construction productivity and the natural evolution of the road map that leads to the right stuff, ending up in the right place, in the right sequence.

Book excerpt: Many abodes can fall under the label of surf shack: New York City apartments, cabins nestled next to national parks, or tiny Hawaiian huts. Surfing communities are overflowing with creativity, innovation, and rich personas. Surf Shacks takes a deeper look at surfers' homes and artistic habits. Glimpses of record collections, strolls through backyard gardens, or a peek into a painter's studio provide insight into surfers' lives both on and off shore. From the remote Hawaiian nook of filmmaker Jess Bianchi to the woodsy Japanese paradise that the former CEO of Surfrider Foundation in Japan, Hiromi Masubara, calls home to the converted bus that Ryan Lovelace claims as his domicile and his transport, every space has a unique tale. The moments that these vibrant personalities spend away from the swell and the froth are both captivating and nuanced.

Book excerpt: DIVThe surfboard is both a piece of sports equipment and a work of art. It is a marvel of engineering and for some, a path to fame and celebrity. It exudes both power and grace; it allows its rider to soar through the air or penetrate the watery depths. Centuries ago, early Polynesians considered the surfboard a religious icon, a means of worshipping the ocean. Today it is a cultural icon, a means of worshipping not simply the ocean but also those who seek to master its powerful and unpredictable forces./divDIV /divDIVIn 365 Surfboards, surfing expert and writer Ben Marcus brings together the most important, most interesting, and most innovative surfboards the world has ever known. From 12-foot-long koa boards of ancient Hawai’i to state-of-the-art modern boards utilizing streamlined design for maximum speed and maneuverability, the surfboard has undergone numerous revolutions and advancements through the years. Pioneering riders and shapers—from Duke Kahanamoku and Tom Blake, to Greg Noll and Hobie Alter, to Kelly Slater and Al Merrick—have brought their own personal touches and insights to continually refine and redefine the ultimate tool for riding the waves. Each of the 365 boards featured here are presented through color images and in-depth descriptions to offer a compelling and comprehensive history of the surfboard and the people, moments, and innovations that have revolutionized the sport./div

Download or read book Tourism and Language in Vieques written by Luis Galanes Valldejuli and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After more than sixty years of occupation by the U.S. Navy and intensive community struggles, the Puerto Rican island of Vieques was finally returned to civilian control in 2003. But, as this book documents, the Viequenses’ struggles were far form over after the departure of the Navy. The Viequenses were left to contend with the devastating effects of sixty-two years of bombing; the environment and health of the population had been severely harmed. Yet this was a minor issue in comparison to the effects of the newly instated tourism industry on the island. Drawing from ethnographic research conducted between 2004 to 2016, Luis Galanes Valldejuli captures the larger social conflict derived from the arrival of tourists, who brought change to the island in the form of land speculation, work conflicts, racism, language barriers, and neoliberalism. A close observer of the Viequenses, Valldejuli details the deleterious effects of tourism on the voice of the Viequenses: they were no longer heard. This book is recommended for scholars of anthropology, tourism studies, linguistics, cultural geography, political science, and history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book positions operational leadership where it deserves to be: as a separate domain of business management and the prime driver for consistent lasting business success.

To do this task well (which is hard and difficult work) business leaders must do five things right: 1) Set one single operational goal (not many KPIs or scorecard items), 2) Define constraint focused operational plans (not by top-down planning, but giving each unit its own, specific operational plan), 3) Meticulously lead the execution of each operational plan, 4) Adjust each unit's plan in agile operational sprints, 5) Lead execution of Plan-Execute-Check cycles for each unit and the development of strong culture of operational excellence.
