"Fringe-Ologybrings a poet's eye to the frayed edges between the known and unknown, beliefand skepticism. . . . A dive into the paranormal even a hardcore skeptic like myselfcan enjoy." --Mat Johnson, author of Pym Takea strange and unsettling trip into the heart of the paranormal universe asjournalist Steve Volk tries to answer some of the most fundamental questions atthe heart of human existence. Fringe-ology will appeal to anyone curiousbut cautious about reports of paranormal experiences, psychic phenomena, andother unexplainable events--anyone who has ever wondered about the existence anafterlife, intelligent life on other planets, or the limits of extrasensoryperception. For fans of Fringe, Mythbusters, Medium, Heroes, Nova, and Lost, Volk'sscintillating journey into mystery illuminates the furthest boundaries ofpossibility and wonder.

We all make mistakes in this life. One big one is dropping out of school. Having no particular skills or knowledge is a sure formula for working at a minimum-wage job, which you probably dont like. However, always do your best whatever the task calls for. A good worker doesnt go unnoticed. A dishwasher may become a cook, taking inexpensive spot classes along the way to become a better cook. The cook may be introduced to ice carving and learn that skill. The cook may upgrade themselves to work at a country club or hotel where the wages are more attractive. Learning step-by-step, you will eventually have something to offer an employer or maybe becoming self-employed. This book offers learnings not just for adult people but as well as to young minds. Developing their skills early can definitely help them be more successful in the field.

Leadership Lessons From The Volkswagen Saga

Leadership Lessons From The Volkswagen Saga

Dieselgate: The Benchmark in Corporate Cheating Scandals2017 Distinguished Favorite Award (Leadership Books) by Independent Press Award judges The Volkswagen diesel emissions test cheating scandal and its various offshoots have had a far-reaching impact on a wide range of parties. This impact has been financial, environmental, political, and regulatory. The parties affected include car owners, Volkswagen's leadership team and employees, shareholders, car dealers, government officials, regulatory agencies, the media, the automotive industry, and even the Made-in-Germany brand. To date, Volkswagen has been assessed or agreed to over $24B in fines, penalties, and compensatory payments to car owners. One Volkswagen employee is serving an 18-month jail term in South Korea. Another is awaiting sentencing in the U.S. after a plea bargain arrangement. A third sits in a U.S. jail thousands of miles away from his home in Germany pending his own trial or plea bargain agreement. Five of their colleagues in Germany have been indicted on felony charges by a U.S. grand jury and have been warned not to leave the country. The Volkswagen Saga is a story of deliberate corporate malfeasance that has impacted the automaker's car brands, leadership structure, governance, corporate reputation, current and future financial results, and its corporate culture. It is a story full of leadership lessons on corporate governance, branding, crisis communications, corporate responsibility, and individual accountability relevant to leaders of any size organization. Leadership Lessons from the Volkswagen Saga nails the teachings and learnings stemming from what is now the benchmark for corporate cheating and corporate scandals.

nidottu
Die Arbeit beschaftigt sich mit ausgewahlten kollisionsrechtlichen Problemen des Industrieanlagenvertrages. Als Orientierung dienen vor allem die Strukturen eines Turnkey-Vertrages uber die Projektierung und die Erstellung einer industriellen Grossanlage in einem Entwicklungsland. Es werden materiell-rechtliche Besonderheiten des Turnkey-Vertrages herausgearbeitet und auf ihre kollisionsrechtliche Signifikanz hin untersucht. Ein besonderes Augenmerk gilt den Eigenheiten des Anlagenkonsortiums sowie dem mit der Erstellung und der Lieferung der Anlage einhergehenden Technologietransfer. Die Arbeit widmet sich zuvoerderst der Suche nach dem objektiven Statut des Industrieanlagenvertrages. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich, dass anders als beim Bauvertrag klassischen Zuschnitts die Anwendung des Rechts des Baustellenlandes regelmassig sachgerecht ist.

Individual-based Modeling and Ecology

Individual-based Modeling and Ecology

Volker Grimm; Steven F. Railsback

Princeton University Press
2005
pokkari
Individual-based models are an exciting and widely used new tool for ecology. These computational models allow scientists to explore the mechanisms through which population and ecosystem ecology arises from how individuals interact with each other and their environment. This book provides the first in-depth treatment of individual-based modeling and its use to develop theoretical understanding of how ecological systems work, an approach the authors call "individual-based ecology." Grimm and Railsback start with a general primer on modeling: how to design models that are as simple as possible while still allowing specific problems to be solved, and how to move efficiently through a cycle of pattern-oriented model design, implementation, and analysis. Next, they address the problems of theory and conceptual framework for individual-based ecology: What is "theory"? That is, how do we develop reusable models of how system dynamics arise from characteristics of individuals? What conceptual framework do we use when the classical differential equation framework no longer applies? An extensive review illustrates the ecological problems that have been addressed with individual-based models. The authors then identify how the mechanics of building and using individual-based models differ from those of traditional science, and provide guidance on formulating, programming, and analyzing models. This book will be helpful to ecologists interested in modeling, and to other scientists interested in agent-based modeling.

Agent-Based and Individual-Based Modeling

Agent-Based and Individual-Based Modeling

Railsback Steven F.; Grimm Volker

Princeton University Press
2011
pokkari
Agent-based modeling is a new technique for understanding how the dynamics of biological, social, and other complex systems arise from the characteristics and behaviors of the agents making up these systems. This innovative textbook gives students and scientists the skills to design, implement, and analyze agent-based models. It starts with the fundamentals of modeling and provides an introduction to NetLogo, an easy-to-use, free, and powerful software platform. Nine chapters then each introduce an important modeling concept and show how to implement it using NetLogo. The book goes on to present strategies for finding the right level of model complexity and developing theory for agent behavior, and for analyzing and learning from models. Agent-Based and Individual-Based Modeling features concise and accessible text, numerous examples, and exercises using small but scientific models. The emphasis throughout is on analysis--such as software testing, theory development, robustness analysis, and understanding full models--and on design issues like optimizing model structure and finding good parameter values. * The first hands-on introduction to agent-based modeling, from conceptual design to computer implementation to parameterization and analysis* Provides an introduction to NetLogo with nine chapters introducing an important modeling concept and showing how to implement it using NetLogo * Filled with examples and exercises, with updates and supplementary materials at http://www.railsback-grimm-abm-book.com/ * Designed for students and researchers across the biological and social sciences * Written by leading practitioners Leading universities that have adopted this book include: * Amherst College * Brigham Young University * Carnegie Mellon University* Cornell University * Miami University * Northwestern University * Old Dominion University * Portland State University * Rhodes College * Susquehanna University * University College, Dublin * University of Arizona* University of British Columbia* University of Michigan * University of South Florida* University of Texas at Austin * University of Virginia

'What's in the box Mum' asked inquisitive Stuart. 'And what box would that be, ' answered his Mum Ann. 'That box you have in your hand Mum, the square box.' 'This square box in my hand, this square blue box that's got a wee boy's name on the front and looks like it could be some sort of birthday present but it's for a wee boy called Stuart, so do we know a wee boy called Stuart and if we do, is it his birthday today' 'That was almost funny Mum, ' replied seven year old Stuart and when she saw how he was standing with his hands on his hips she asked herself if he really was only seven today but she never had time to ask herself anything else because as quick as a flash he was by her side and pleading for all he was worth for the blue box he knew was for hi
