Exploring the Mind: Discovering Humps and How they shape us

Exploring the Mind: Discovering Humps and How they shape us

Gary W. Cross

We possess perhaps the most complex thing in the universe - our mind. Consider it as a complex tool, a tool with which we shape what we think, feel, say and do. If we use this tool well, then our thoughts, feelings, words and actions will be apt and help our self and the people that we affect to have a better life. If we use this tool poorly, then our thoughts, feelings, words and actions could be inapt and could hinder our self and our others from having a good life. Indeed, if we use any tool poorly, we end up with poor results The better we understand any tool that we use, the better use we can make of that tool. While we spend many hours learning about the tools and equipment that we use (such as our computers, work equipment and hobby items), we spend little, if any, time learning about the most important and complex tool that we use - our mind In this book, we explore the mind, so that we may better understand it, and thus better use it. Explorations are offered throughout the book to help you to explore the mind yourself.In the initial explorations, you will discover what features you have in your mind. Importantly, we are not exploring the physical features of our brains (such as neurons, the cortex, thalamus, amygdala...). In this book, we restrict our explorations to those features in our minds that we can personally explore, such as our thoughts, memories and feelings.Next you will discover humps - what I consider to be the most important features of the mind. We all have humps, many of them. Mostly we are unaware of them, and unaware of what enormous effects they have on us. Understand the characteristics of humps, and you understand the characteristics of your mind Next you will discover why it is important to know about your humps. You discover that your humps shape what you think, feel, desire, dislike, look at, the meaning you make of what you look at, say and do.Finally, you explore how your humps are shaped by the humps of other people, the humps in your culture and the humps (or patterns) in the world around you.This book is the third book in the series Exploring a Good Life, Wisdom and the Mind.

Reading Romans with Eastern Eyes – Honor and Shame in Paul`s Message and Mission

Reading Romans with Eastern Eyes – Honor and Shame in Paul`s Message and Mission

Jackson W.; E. Randolph Richards

IVP Academic
2019
nidottu
Christianity Today's 2020 Book of the Year Award of Merit - Biblical Studies Biblical Foundations Award Finalist What does it mean to “read Romans with Eastern eyes”? Combining research from Asian scholars with his many years of experience living and working in East Asia, Brad Vaughn directs our attention to Paul's letter to the Romans. He argues that some traditional East Asian cultural values are closer to those of the first-century biblical world than common Western cultural values. In addition, he adds his voice to the scholarship engaging the values of honor and shame in particular and their influence on biblical interpretation. As readers, we bring our own cultural fluencies and values to the text. Our biases and background influence what we observe—and what we overlook. This book helps us consider ways we sometimes miss valuable insights because of widespread cultural blind spots. In Reading Romans with Eastern Eyes, Vaughn demonstrates how paying attention to East Asian culture provides a helpful lens for interpreting Paul's most complex letter. When read this way, we see how honor and shame shape so much of Paul's message and mission.

Great Players in Alabama Football: Alabama History Has Its Share of Great Football Players

Great Players in Alabama Football: Alabama History Has Its Share of Great Football Players

Brian W. Kelly

Lets Go Publish!
2017
nidottu
The book is written for those of us who love Alabama Crimson Tide Football. and its great and storied football players. Crimson Tide football supporters cannot wait until the next UA win. The book is quite simple in that it first tells the story about how the game of football came about in the US; then it describes how Alabama football came into being. Then, we examine the great all-conference and all-American players and other great Alabama players who made the program so successful.Alabama fans know that in 1892, the University's first football team assembled calling itself the "Thin Red Line." From a bit thin in the ranks, to later becoming the crushing "Crimson Tide," this book gets you to the point that you can look at great Alabama players from over the years and enjoy reading about their outstanding accomplishments. You will find highlights of great players in Alabama football and be able to read a narrative of each regarding their exceptional prowess, their impact on Alabama football, and their impact on pro football. To stage the reader for future Alabama greatness, we also recap the 2017 championship game and offer unique insights. Now that the loss to Clemson is behind us all, we can move on to the future greatness we always expect from the Crimson Tide.None of the players highlighted are suggested to be the greatest. They are in this book, which promises to grow over time as great Alabama players. There may be a player who is greater or the greatest ever. I leave that to the pundits and the fans. There are hundreds of great Alabama players from 1892 to today, and we look at many who simply stand-out among their peers.In this book, we find names such as Riley Smith, Harry Gilmer, Bart Starr, Kenny Stabler, AJ McCarron, Joe Namath, Cornelius Bennett, Mark Ingram and others. I can't wait to read this as a finished book. I hope you feel the same way. You will not be able to put this book down

Fair Share

Fair Share

W. Brad Johnson; David G. Smith

Harvard Business Review Press
2026

Leveling the playing field—at home and at work. The organization is broken. Decades of research show how women struggle to grow in their careers and move up into leadership positions, in part due to demands outside of work. But it's not working for men either. Men want to be equal partners, present parents, and active community members outside of their careers. The "ideal worker" norms of the traditional workplace, though, expect men to be present and available 24/7. This disconnect means that even when men try to take part in flexible work arrangements, they're often stigmatized, leaving women to take up the slack and, again, miss out on professional opportunities. If companies want to reach their full potential and achieve true fairness at work, the workplace must change—and it starts at the top. In this book, gender-in-the-workplace experts W. Brad Johnson and David G. Smith offer a blueprint for how leaders can break down systemic barriers across the organization, from culture to policies, so that men can do more outside of paid work—and women can take their place in leadership. They suggest three key areas to focus on: Rethinking company culture and the structure of work Going all-in on caregiving options and benefits for employees Operationalizing gender fairness through organizational process and policies Filled with examples and interviews with both men and women, Fair Share offers a look at what organizations can become when leaders finally break down the obstacles holding everyone back. By working together, men and women can create a better workplace, one where every individual can achieve what they want—at work and at home.

Real-time Bluetooth Networks: Shape the World

Real-time Bluetooth Networks: Shape the World

Jonathan W. Valvano

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2016
nidottu
Welcome to Real-Time Bluetooth Networks - Shape the World. This book, now in its second printing December 2017, offers a format geared towards hands-on self-paced learning. The overarching goal is to give you the student an experience with real-time operating systems that is based on the design and development of a simplified RTOS that exercises all the fundamental concepts. To keep the discourse grounded in practice we have refrained from going too deep into any one topic. We believe this will equip the student with the knowledge necessary to explore more advanced topics on their own. In essence, we will teach you the skills of the trade, but mastery is the journey you will have to undertake on your own. An operating system (OS) is layer of software that sits on top of the hardware. It manages the hardware resources so that the applications have the illusion that they own the hardware all to themselves. A real-time system is one that not only gets the correct answer but gets the correct answer at the correct time. Design and development of an OS therefore requires both, understanding the underlying architecture in terms of the interface (instruction set architecture, ISA) it provides to the software, and organizing the software to exploit this interface and present it to user applications. The decisions made in effectively managing the underlying architecture becomes more crucial in real-time systems as the performance (specifically timing) demands go beyond simple logical correctness. The architecture we will focus on is the ARM ISA, which is a very popular architecture in the embedded device ecosystem where real-time systems proliferate. A quick introduction to the ISA will be followed by specifics of TI's offering of this ISA as the Tiva and MSP432 Launchpad microcontroller. To make the development truly compelling we need a target application that has real-time constraints and multi-threading needs. To that end you will incrementally build a personal fitness device with Bluetooth connectivity. The Bluetooth connectivity will expose you to the evolving domain of Internet-of-things (IoT) where our personal fitness device running a custom RTOS will interact with a smartphone.
