Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software, 1/e Capturing a wealth of experience about the design of object-oriented software, four top-notch designers present a catalog of simple and succinct solutions to commonly occurring design problems. Previously undocumented, these 23 patterns allow designers to create more flexible, elegant, and ultimately reusable designs without having to rediscover the design solutions themselves. The authors begin by describing what patterns are and how they can help you design object-oriented software. They then go on to systematically name, explain, evaluate, and catalog recurring designs in object-oriented systems. With Design Patterns as your guide, you will learn how these important patterns fit into the software development process, and how you can leverage them to solve your own design problems most efficiently. Applying UML and Patterns: An Introduction to Object-Oriented Analysis and Design and Iterative Development, 3/e Craig Larman again delivers a clear path for students to learn object-oriented analysis and design through his clear and precise writing style.Larman teaches newcomers to OOA/D learn how to "think in objects" by presenting three iterations of a single, cohesive case study, incrementally introducing the requirements and OOA/D activities, principles, and patterns that are most critical to success.
LA PRECUELA DEL ÉXITO MUNDIAL LOS PILARES DE LA TIERRA En Las tinieblas y el alba, Ken Follett embarca al lector en un épico viaje que termina donde Los pilares de la Tierra comienza. Año 997, finales de la Edad Oscura. Inglaterra se enfrenta a los ataques de los galeses por el oeste y de los vikingos por el este. La vida es difícil y aquellos que ostentan algo de poder lo ejercen con puño de hierro y, a menudo, en conflicto con el propio rey. En estos tiempos turbulentos, tres vidas se entrecruzan: el joven constructor de barcos Edgar, a punto de fugarse con la mujer a la que ama, comprende que su futuro será muy diferente a lo que había imaginado cuando su hogar es arrasado por los vikingos; Ragna, la rebelde hija de un noble normando, acompaña a su marido a una nueva tierra al otro lado del mar solo para descubrir que las costumbres allí son peligrosamente distintas; y Aldred, un monje idealista, sueña con transformar su humilde abadía en un centro de saber admirado en toda Europa. Los tres se verán abocados a un enfrentamiento con el despiadado obispo Wynstan, decidido a aumentar su poder a cualquier precio. El gran maestro de la narrativa de acción y suspense nos transporta al ocaso de una época violenta y brutal y al comienzo de un nuevo tiempo en un monumental y emocionante relato de ambición y rivalidad, nacimiento y muerte, amor y odio.La crítica ha dicho...«El autor de Los pilares de la Tierra llega con un nuevo libro histórico y una preocupación muy actual.»El País «Ken Follett es, sin lugar a dudas, uno de los escritores más exitosos de la actualidad.»El Español «Sus libros crean adicción.

John Agard has been broadening the canvas of British poetry for the past 40 years with his mischievous, satirical fables which overturn all our expectations. In this new collection, he puts on the mask of Moses Maimonides (aka the Rambam), the Medieval Jewish rabbi and physician who wrote his Guide of the Perplexed in Arabic at a time when Judaism, Islam and Christianity cross-fertilised each other in Moorish Spain. Now the ghost of Maimonides returns to the contemporary world, no less perplexed, and trailed by the figure of the Jester, whose wise fool musings shadow Maimonides' discourses on a range of subjects from sectarian fanaticism to God's incorporeal lack of taste buds. In Playing the Ghost of Maimonides, the rabbinical, the parabolical, the nonsensical, are symphonically interwoven in a thought-provoking romp of metaphysical shapeshifting that resonates with the current climate of extremism.

As a cricketer, Frank Worrell mesmerised spectators with his stylish play, his elegance and his classy strokes an artist in a realm replete with talent. Apart from that finesse on the field, he epitomised the sporting characteristics associated with the finer aspects of the game: the spirit of cricket. He relentlessly advocated for more equitable playing conditions; rebuking the many discriminatory practices that still plague sport. He was the first black man to be officially appointed West Indian captain for the famous 196061 tour of Australia, but he had been regarded as its de facto leader throughout the 1950s. What set Worrell apart was his natural air of authority. He did not need to be in a leadership position to manifest it, and this characteristic defined his life. By the time his international playing days were over after his final Test in England in 1963, he had become an icon as a West Indian leader, whose qualities of grace and wisdom framed him as the ideal representative of a society still constructing its identity. While this biography looks at his cricket, its primary focus is examining the nature of this enigmatic and charismatic figure, whose personal journey altered many of the existing concepts of what it meant to be West Indian. For much of his career he was plagued by insecurities and haunted by traumas, embittered by inequities within the social structures that dominated regional life. Yet he was a natural mentor, who generously shared his wisdom and experience with everyone who came into his sphere. If contemporary cricketers and administrators could have access to the kind of unconventional coaching he provided, it would make a world of difference to the approach to development, especially within the West Indies. All around the Caribbean, monuments have been erected to celebrate him, yet given the amnesiac quality of memory, it is likely that they stand in name only, without context, for a generation whose history has practically disappeared without a trace of its legacy. This biography, a result of years of research, will shed some light on the life and legacy of Sir Frank Mortimer Maglinne Worrell, and his impact on a world that needs heroes more than ever.

The Identity Reset: A Guide to Discovering Yourself After Loss, Change, and Survival is a lifeline for those navigating the difficult in-betweenwhen your past self no longer fits, and the future feels uncertain and unrecognizable.

This book helps you name what's missing, understand how you've changed, and gently mend who you arewithout minimizing what happened to you. As an identity and grief specialist, Ashley Olivia Nelson offers: Finding the words for the invisible losses that shaped you Granting yourself permission to grieve and explore who you are now Steps to ease overwhelm and build emotional capacity Choosing relationships that truly accept you You'll walk away with more than validationyou'll leave with direction. Whether you're grieving who you were or who you never got to be, The Identity Reset offers soul-tending reflection and clear, heartfelt insight. Autorid: Ashley Olivia Nelson
Unless you're Robinson Crusoe or a hermit, all of us must build relationships with other people every day, at work and at home. Every country, one way or another, has a set of rules that dictate how to do this successfully. Some people explain these rules to us-what we must do to reap the reward (e.g., get paid for our work) and what happens when we don't-while the most strict and mandatory requirements come from representatives of the state. These rules are usually built on some general concept that is accepted as truth, either by the majority or the group in power.I began my career in 1981 as a computer engineer for the Soviet army, working as part of the state-controlled economic system. When that system collapsed in 1992, I went into business for myself and have run many successful companies ever since. In ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS, I describe interactions of human beings (using myself as an example) with the state hierarchy as "vertical," as these interactions imply power and subordination, and economic activities as "horizontal," as those interactions were generally based on agreements (or contracts). Specifically, I learned to see the state as nothing more than human beings who obtained their power because of some kind of convention. One could argue that the people themselves gave this power to the state, in the belief that the state knew how to achieve safety and obtain good results better than they did. In most cases, the state takes some general idea-be that communism, democracy, liberalism, etc.-and uses that as the basis for rules or algorithms that people have to obey.ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS gives readers an inside look at a very specific process-the Russian economic and political system over the past four decades-while removing the microscope from the equation. I wrote the book not as a scientist, but as a person looking for their place in the everyday changing world, especially in a part of the world where all of these changes happened in a most dramatic (or most stupid) way. I'll take readers inside that process, from the perspective of the lab mouse in a chain of economic and social experiments-myself. At its heart, this is a book about human relationships: how all of us look for the best way to make these relationships, based on mutual understanding, as well as how we often fail in our interactions by cheating ourselves and each other. Because, once you strip away the analysis, the real "economy" is about what people do for each other. There is no economic "system," per se, other than the one that is built by people and which depends on people working with each other. This philosophy not only reflects my approach to business, but also has usually helped me launch my best projects in sales.

Nobody, will blame me for placing here the touching history of these Martyrs. It illustrates the period of history we are now considering, and sheds light on the preceding treatise. I can hardly read it without tears, and it ought to make us love "the noble army of martyrs." I think Tertullian was the editor of the story, not its author. Felicitas is mentioned by name in the De Anima: and the closing paragraph of this memoir is quite in his style. To these words I need only add that Dr. Routh, who unfortunately decided not to re-edit it, ascribes the first edition to Lucas Holstenius. Perpetua and Felicitas suffered martyrdom in the reign of Septimius Severus, about the year 202 A.D. Tertullian mentions Perpetua, and a further clue to the date is given in the allusion to the birthday of "Geta the Cæsar," the son of Septimius Severus. There is therefore, good reason for rejecting the opinion held by some, that they suffered under Valerian and Gallienus. Some think that they suffered at Tuburbium in Mauritania; but the more general opinion is, that Carthage was the scene of their martyrdom.

There's no point in acting like it doesn't.Why else would it make me gay, give me a family that hates who I am, throw me in a town that would rather "my kind" be shipped off, and then decide my boyfriend had to die? Or maybe that last one was my fault... The point is that life sucks. Everything about it sucks.Oh yeah, and now I'm stuck venting about it all to my archnemesis, Aidan.AIDAN: You know what? Life hurts sometimes.It does right now. I miss my friend, and I don't understand why he had to die. But there's a part of me that knows he's looking down from the stars right now, and he wants me to smile again. It might be fake at the moment, but it's something. The crazy part is I never imagined Tyler would talk to me again, but here I am trying to help him through the same hurt I'm feeling.I just wish I knew why he hates me so much.
