Download or read book Tick Achieve written by Kevin Duncan and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-11-18 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How many times have you thought of something crucial to do and then forgotten it completely? That's why people invented lists. And very useful they are too. If, and only if, they are used effectively. Put thirty things on a list, and it becomes too daunting. Put three things on, and there's no point in having a list. And so we have refined the art of list writing to allow for about ten or twenty things to do. But in truth, most lists are rubbish. Randomly assembled, they do little to help the author navigate their way through the maze of stuff to do. After all, the only point of a list of things to do, is to get things done. Tick Achieve does just that. It shows you how to get stuff done, with lots of little techniques tried and tested on scores of individuals over 25 years. This includes the cathartic and highly effective process of writing a list of what you are not going to do. The author has trained hundreds of people in the art of getting stuff done. There is no Big Plan as such (contrary to what many other books suggest). It's all about details, and they can be very easy to implement. Little things can make a massive difference. Once you get the hang of it, life gets easier. In a business context, and personally. You can sleep better and worry less. Concentrate on the things that matter, and leave out the trivia and irrelevant. Learn how to celebrate little bits of progress, look down your list, tick off a job well done, and shout Tick Achieve!

Download or read book Correct Hardware Design and Verification Methods written by Laurence Pierre and published by Springer. This book was released on 2003-07-31 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CHARME’99 is the tenth in a series of working conferences devoted to the dev- opment and use of leading-edge formal techniques and tools for the design and veri?cation of hardware and systems. Previous conferences have been held in Darmstadt (1984), Edinburgh (1985), Grenoble (1986), Glasgow (1988), Leuven (1989), Torino (1991), Arles (1993), Frankfurt (1995) and Montreal (1997). This workshop and conference series has been organized in cooperation with IFIP WG 10. 5. It is now the biannual counterpart of FMCAD, which takes place every even-numbered year in the USA. The 1999 event took place in Bad Her- nalb, a resort village located in the Black Forest close to the city of Karlsruhe. The validation of functional and timing behavior is a major bottleneck in current VLSI design systems. A predominantly academic area of study until a few years ago, formal design and veri?cation techniques are now migrating into industrial use. The aim of CHARME’99 is to bring together researchers and users from academia and industry working in this active area of research. Two invited talks illustrate major current trends: the presentation by G ́erard Berry (Ecole des Mines de Paris, Sophia-Antipolis, France) is concerned with the use of synchronous languages in circuit design, and the talk given by Peter Jansen (BMW, Munich, Germany) demonstrates an application of formal methods in an industrial environment. The program also includes 20 regular presentations and 12 short presentations/poster exhibitions that have been selected from the 48 submitted papers.

Download or read book The Everything Guide To Lyme Disease written by Rafal Tokarz and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive all-in-one guide to Lyme disease, including psychological as well as physical symptoms, along with traditional and alternative treatments. Lyme disease is one of the most rapidly emerging infectious diseases in North America and Europe, transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected tick. Symptoms include the classic “bull’s eye” rash, fever, and headache, and current research indicates that 300,000 Americans are diagnosed with Lyme disease annually, ten times higher than previously reported. This indicates a tremendous health problem, heightened by the fact that Lyme disease can manifest not only in physical symptoms, but psychiatric illness such as cognitive dysfunction, memory deficit, and rage issues. In The Everything Guide to Lyme Disease, you will find the most up-to-date and expert information on all aspects of the disease, including how to prevent it, find the best treatments, and deal with the psychological effects of Lyme disease.
Download or read book MontiArc Architectural Modeling and Simulation of Interactive Distributed Systems written by Arne Haber and published by Shaker Verlag GmbH. This book was released on 2016-09-02 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Formal ADLs offer great potential to analyse the architecture of a system, predict the overall performance by using simulations, and allow to automatically generate parts of the implementation. Nevertheless, ADLs are rather not used in industrial practice since several problems hinder to exploit their potential to the full extend. This thesis elaborates the design of an ADL that copes with these impediments of ADLs in practice. Therefore, the design of a lightweight ADL is derived which also provides well defined extension points to be adapted to a certain domain or development process. Furthermore, it is investigated how architectural modeling can be enriched with agile development methods to support incremental modeling and the validation of system architectures. Therefore, a set detailed of requirements for architectural modeling and the simulation of system architectures is defined and MontiArc, a concrete ADL to model logical architectures of distributed, interactive systems, is derived. The language is based on the mathematical FOCUS [BS01] framework, which allows to simulate modeled systems in an event-based style. Code generators and a simulation framework provide means to continuously refine and test architectural models. To add new features or adapt the language to a new domain, a corresponding language extension method is presented to extend the syntax, language processing tools, and code generators of the ADL. A lightweight model library concept is presented which allows to develop and reuse component models and their implementation in a controlled and transparent way. The developed language, the simulator, and the language extension techniques have been examined in several case studies which either used or extended MontiArc.

The day Claire meets Chris is like any other day. She has been kicked out of yet another foster home. The moment she sees the piercing in his lip and the tattoos on his smooth skin, she knows she won't last long in this new place. Claire has never been so happy to be wrong. With a patience that Claire has never known in her short and tumultuous life, Chris and his mother demonstrate that trust is possible once again. And in secret, when no one is watching, Chris shows Claire the power of love. Unfortunately, Chris is her foster brother, and the risk of being kicked out of the only home she's ever known looms if anyone discovers their relationship. However, once Claire heads off to college, she believes that she and Chris can finally reveal their love to the world. Suddenly, hiding their relationship becomes the least of their worries when Chris is presented with a record deal.
