The Lean Startup summary “The Lean Startup” was published in September 2011 by Eric Ries. Due to the popularity of the lean startup philosophy, the book was highly anticipated prior to its release, and quickly became a #2 New York Times bestseller. The reason why I picked this book is because it was something that i found interesting and I thought I would really enjoy reading book about business. Eric Ries defines in this book a startup as an organization dedicated to creating something new under conditions of extreme uncertainty. This is just as true for one person in a garage or a group of seasoned professionals in a Fortune 500 boardroom

Survey Report To: My English class and teacher From: Subject: Upcoming Population Census The purpose of this report is to let you know about the statistics learned from a survey conducted by the research agency Factum & Ariko in October about the upcoming mandatory Census of Population and Housing. They questioned 500 people aged 1574 all over Estonia. 83% of Estonian's are aware of the upcoming Population and Housing Census and 95% consider the Census essential for Estonia. People consider the most important thing to be found out the real population number of Estonia (70% of people questioned) and the data collection about living conditions (37%). This shows people's interest and concern about the sustainability of Estonia. The electronic Population and Housing Census will take place during the first month of the Census and 2/3 of the people questioned are planning to use the opportunity to answer the questionnaires electronically. ...

Internet addiction. These findings supports the importance of the Internet addiction. Many people turn to the Internet in order to manage unpleasant feelings such as stress, loneliness, depression, and anxiety. This suggests that it's important to remember that there are healthier (and more effective) ways to keep difficult feelings in check. These may include exercising, meditating, using sensory relaxation strategies, and practicing simple breathing exercises. One anticipated finding was that you are at greater risk of Internet addiction if you suffer from anxiety, you are depressed, you have any other addictions, you lack social support, you're an unhappy teenager, you are less mobile or socially active than you once were or you are stressed. The results of this study indicate that there are 5 different symptoms of Internet addiction which are losing track of time online, having trouble completing tasks at work or home,
Kutcher's home life worsened as his parents divorced when he was sixteen. During his senior year, he broke into his high school at midnight with his cousin in an attempt to steal money; he was arrested leaving the scene. Kutcher was convicted of third-degree burglary and sentenced to three years' probation and 180 hours of community service. Kutcher stated that although the experience "straightened him out", he lost his girlfriend and anticipated college scholarships, and he was ostracized at school and in his community. Kutcher enrolled at the University of Iowa in August 1996, where his planned major was biochemical engineering. To earn money for his tuition, Kutcher worked as a college summer hire in the cereal department for the General Mills plant in Cedar Rapids, and sometimes donated blood for money. After placing first, he dropped out of college and won a trip to New

by neutralizing the U.S. Pacific Fleet. · Both the US and Japan had longstanding contingency plans for war in the Pacific · In 1940, the US halted further shipments of airplanes, parts, machine tools and aviation gas to Japan, which they interpreted as an unfriendly act. · In the summer of 1941, the US ceased the export of oil to Japan due to Japan's continued aggressive expansionist policy and because an anticipated eventual American entrance to the war in Europe prompted increased stockpiling and less commercial use of gasoline · President Roosevelt had moved the fleet to Hawaii, and ordered a buildup in the Philippines, to reduce Japanese aggression in China and deter operations against others, including European colonies in Asia. · The Japanese high command was certain any attack on the United Kingdom's colonies would inevitably bring the U.S. into the war
Shaun White Shaun Roger White (born September 3, 1986) is an American professional snowboarder and skateboarder. He is a two-time Olympic gold medalist. He rides regular stance, twelve and negative three degrees on his board. Addressing his perception of the nickname "The Flying Tomato", Rolling Stone wrote, "he used to embrace it, even wearing headbands with a flying- tomato logo, but he has grown tired of it." He has also been nicknamed as "animal", a reference to a character from the satirical puppet show The Muppet Show. Early life White was born in San Diego, California. His ancestry includes Irish and Italian. He was born with a Tetralogy of Fallot, a congenital heart defect for which he endured two open-heart operations before the age of one. He stands 5'8" (1.73 m) tall. White spent his formative years riding Okemo Mountain and Bear Mountain, small ski resorts found in Ludlow...

The term Dioxin is commonly used to refer to a family of toxic chemicals that all share a similar chemical structure and a common mechanism of toxic action. Most dioxins and furans are not manmade or produced intentionally, but are created when other chemicals or products are made. This family includes: seven of the polychlorinated dibenzo dioxins (PCDDs), ten of the polychlorinated dibenzo furans (PCDFs) and twelve of the polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). · PCDD · 2,3,7,8TCDD · PCDF · PCB · PCDDs and PCDFs are not commercial chemical products but are trace level unintentional byproducts of most forms of combustion and several industrial chemical processes.

It is, therefore, incumbent on ONR to establish effective mechanisms to recruit and retain personnel from these groups and to develop a climate that is conducive to integrating diverse employees into a more productive organization. Because of that, in late 1994, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) asked the National Research Council (NRC) to provide advice on how to ensure diversity in its future science and engineering work force in order to meet the needs of anticipated naval science and engineering specialties. In building a diverse organization, ONR is far from being at a disadvantage. On the contrary, ONR is uniquely positioned to access highly qualified individuals throughout the entire U.S. research and development establishment. Through its broad responsibility of maintaining a window on R&D wherever it occurs, ONR has a potential knowledge base of candidate personnel that far exceeds most organizations both in the public and private sectors
In this essay, the ways how Turgenev represents the generation of Fathers in Fathers and Sons is discussed. Fathers and Sons is set in between Russia's defeat in the Crimean War and the Emancipation of the Serfs a socially challenging area. Mid-19 th century Russian intellectual life was characterized by a radical split between the `fathers' and `sons'. The older generation was young during the heavily oppressive rule of Tsar Nikolai I. For them, Tsar Alexander II's reforms were very anticipated and progressive. However, the `sons' or younger intellectuals saw these reforms were not fast or far-reaching enough. Thus, the generation of fathers is seen in the prevailing gentry, `', who ruled over the serfs and lands. Turgenev himself states, that « . , , . , . , : , ? -- , ». (Pisma IV, 380). Accordingly, Sukikh (1971:312) agrees that the progressive thinkers of the forties had lost their edge. This evaluation by the author
with Charles Sanders Peirce) of semiotics/semiology. Saussure's most influential work, Course in General Linguistics (Cours de linguistique générale), was published posthumously in 1916 by former students Charles Bally and Albert Sechehaye on the basis of notes taken from Saussure's lectures in Geneva. The Course became one of the seminal linguistics works of the 20th century, not primarily for the content (many of the ideas had been anticipated in the works of other 20th century linguists), but rather for the innovative approach that Saussure applied in discussing linguistic phenomena. Saussure is one of the founding fathers of semiotics, which he called semiology. His concept of the sign/signifier/signified/referent forms the core of the field. Equally crucial, although often overlooked or misapplied, is the dimension of the syntagmatic and paradigmatic axes of linguistic description.
solutions using wireless networks. Being a relatively new sector, the M2M connections are expected to grow up to 55% a year in Europe, North America, Oceania and Asia between 2010 and 2013. Approximately two-thirds of mobile operators in Europe provide M2M services, being a sign of market maturity, in comparison with about half of the operators in the Americas, Asia and Oceania. By 2020 the amount of connected devices is anticipated to ascend to 25.6 billion, of which 10.5 billion use mobile technology. The automation of services and cross-industry cooperation will presumably be beneficial for the sectors of transportation, healthcare and utilities. It is predicted that the socio-economic influence of the Connected Life will save a vast amount of lives and money in healthcare and transportation and gives the opportunity for education for the children in developing countries.

industrial workers, cohort mortality studies of formaldehyde-exposed professionals or medical specialists, and case-control studies that looked for associations between occupational exposure to formaldehyde and cancers of the nose, pharynx, or lung. Although many different ways to calculate relatively risk of human cancer were used all this studies showed similar results. Conclusions of those studies are: National Toxicology Program (1998): formaldehyde is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen International Agency of Research for Cancer (1995): "Taken together, the epidemiological studies suggest a causal relationship between exposure to formaldehyde and nasopharyngeal cancer, although the conclusion is tempered by the small numbers of observed and expected cases in the cohort studies". IARC's overall evaluation is that formaldehyde is probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A). Later IARC classified formaldehyde as human carcinogen.
Therefore the steel detailer ended up creating their own 3D model, which became the main model on this project (Figure 9). BDS used Tekla Structures (formerly known was Xsteel) to model the complex structural elements converging at different angles. Since the glazing would be applied directly to the diagonal steel, it was mandatory to have all the geometry in 3D. Instead of receiving a model from the curtain wall designer, as was originally anticipated, the steel detailer ended up sending their model to Seele so they could verify that the geometry of the diagonal steel and the curtain wall mullions lined up perfectly. 34 Figure 9. Detailing Tekla Model Showing the Diagonal Steel Connection to the Book’s Platform Truss (Dale Stenning, personal communication, May 10, 2010). Once the entire building was modeled in Tekla, MKA and Hoffman assessed
As Prince of Wales not only did he visits with the official Royal Party but would also return for a second look. In 1934 he purchased an entire rock garden from the Show to put in his grounds at Fort Belvedere and actually helped dismantle the display. His brother George VI and Queen Elizabeth were also keen gardeners and fervent supporters of the Show, with the King showing his own schizanthus in 1947. The arrival of the Royal party is always eagerly anticipated by exhibitors and those RHS staff allowed in the grounds after the 3.30pm clearance. The scene is set, the Show is complete and it's most perfect freshly watered so that myriad fragrances fill 17 the marquees - and crowds are eagerly waiting outside the Bull Ring entrance. The Royal Family arrived in reverse order of precedence, and each Royal is accompanied by a group of guests
In addition, a tendency to imitate a same-sex adult occurred. Girls were more verbally aggressive and boys more physically. Bandura has contributed a lot to social learning theory. For example: 1) Learning is more that just conditioning and people learn by observation and imitation. 2) People are more likely to imitate models that are reinforced; models that are liked, admired, respected and models in the same sex and age. 3) We develop anticipated consequences for our behaviors, even for behaviors we have never engaged in. 4) New patterns of behavior can be acquired in the absence of external reinforcement. Huesmann's longitudinal research has shown the correlational relationship between children's exposure to violent TV shows and aggressive behavior. However, media is not always a negative influence. Shows developed to teach academic and social skills can help children learn positive behavior and soap operas
They were favoured for deep gorges or wide fast-flowing streams where false work, a temporary structure, usually of timber, erected to assist in the construc- tion of the permanent bridge, is impossible to build. The three principal types - beam, arch, and suspension - often were combined in a variety of ways to form composite structures, the type selected depending on the nature of the crossing, the span required, the materials at hand, and the type of load anticipated - pedestrian, vehicular, railroad, or a channel of water as in aqueducts.

critic, surveyor, historian, and leading transcendentalist. He is best known for his book Walden, a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings, and his essay Civil Disobedience, an argument for individual resistance to civil government in moral opposition to an unjust state. Thoreau's books, articles, essays, journals, and poetry total over 20 volumes. Among his lasting contributions were his writings on natural history and philosophy, where he anticipated the methods and findings of ecology and environmental history, two sources of modern day environmentalism. His literary style interweaves close natural observation, personal experience, pointed rhetoric, symbolic meanings, and historical lore, while displaying a poetic sensibility, philosophical austerity, and "Yankee" love of practical detail. He was also deeply interested in the idea of survival in
The Mathematical Theory of Communication. Claude Shannon's "The Mathematical Theory of Communication"showed engineers how to code data so they could check for accuracy after transmission between computers. Shannon identified the bit as the fundamental unit of data and, coincidentally, the basic unit of computation. Norbert Wiener published "Cybernetics," a major influence on later research into artificial intelligence. He drew on his World War II experiments with anti-aircraft systems that anticipated the course of enemy planes by interpreting radar images. 1949 Maurice Wilkes assembled the EDSAC, the first practical stored-program computer, at Cambridge University. His ideas grew out of the Moore School lectures he had attended three years earlier. For programming the EDSAC, Wilkes established a library of short programs called subroutines stored on punched paper tapes. TECHNOLOGY: vacuum tubes MEMORY: 1K words, 17 bits, mercury delay line SPEED: 714 operations per second 1950

Eleventh-hour creation: "The entire physical universe came into existence just five minutes ago, complete with ostensible memories and records." Demon skepticism: "We are constantly and systematically being deceived by a powerful evil demon who feeds us specious experiences.")1 But the verificationists did not confine their concern to meaningfulness itself. The theory also took a more specific form, anticipated by C. S. Peirce (1878/1934). It addressed the individual meanings of particular sentences, and identified each sentence's meaning with that sentence's verification condition. Thus, the theory had a practical use, as an actual test for what an individual sentence does mean; it predicts the sentence's particular propositional con- tent. This is an important virtue, not shared by all its competitors. (The naive Proposition Theory says nothing of how to associate a particular proposition
family. Mrs. Bennet chose to consider it as given in compliment to her eldest daughter, and was particularly flattered by receiving the invitation from Mr. Bingley himself, instead of a ceremonious card. Jane pictured to herself a happy evening in the society of her two friends, and the attentions of her brother; and Elizabeth thought with pleasure of dancing a great deal with Mr. Wickham, and of seeing a confirmation of everything in Mr. Darcy's look and behaviour. The happiness anticipated by Catherine and Lydia depended less on any single event, or any particular person, for though they each, like Elizabeth, meant to dance half the evening with Mr. Wickham, he was by no means the only partner who could satisfy them, and a ball was, at any rate, a ball. And even Mary could assure her family that she had no disinclination for it. "While I can have my mornings to myself," said she, "it is enough--I think it is no sacrifice to join occasionally in evening engagements
What I see on the electric bulb is General Electric, a multi-billion dollar company involved in everything, including producing military products and owing the NBC-TV network. That is what I see on the bulb. If we could stop deluding ourselves. I have no doubt that the descendants of the original company are not my people. I am sitting here and looking at my nephew’s great stereo. It was made in Japan by the Aiwa corporation. In fact, since Africans love music so much you would have anticipated that they would control the production of all products pertaining to music. Yes, we can sing, we can dance. That is just about it. In fact, it has been shown that Black people spend more money on purchasing musical equipment than any other group, but do we produce any these products? The answer is a resounding NO! Do we even have a factory owned by a Black person where these musical products are assembled? The answer is a resounding NO!
Erection of the structural steel on site was performed by Siltera, who were employed by Rautaruukki under a subcontract. They did not use the model regularly, but did consult it from time to time to obtain detailed product and process information concerning their work, particularly where drawings were not clear and questions arose. 9.8.4.5 Rebar detailing, fabrication and installation Modelling the bridge reinforcement turned out to be more difficult than was anticipated. Bridges of this type (cable stayed) have a high density of reinforcement and complex deck and abutment shapes, which makes the modelling more difficult and time consuming than for simpler structures. In most common reinforced concrete structures, building elements such as beams, columns and foundations are sufficiently standard in shape and reinforcement details to allow the use of parametric

It amply fulfilled the Japanese war plan. Japan did not intend to invade the United States. Rather, she planned to feed upon the riches of the conquered territories behind a ring of impregnable defense positions, from which she would beat off any attacker. But the high command, bedazzled by success and greedy for more, decided instead to continue the sweep before its momentum was lost. The admirals and generals pointed out that naval losses, which they had anticipated at 25 per cent, had been infinitesimal. The largest ship sunk had been a destroyer, and so more than adequate forces remained for the new drive. Furthermore, they reasoned, the defense perimeter would be protected as much by greater depth as by greater consolidation. They therefore set in motion two ambitious plans. One was an amphibious assault southward to Port Moresby, a town on the southeastern tip of New Guinea only 400 miles from Australia

with a flower growled at her, "Keep it." Not knowing what to do, she extended it toward him again, only to have him demand to know what he had to give in return. When she replied weakly, "Nothing. It's a gift," he fixed her with a dis- believing glare, insisting that he recognized "her game," and brushed on past. The girl was so stung by the experience that she could not approach anyone else and had to be removed from her assignment-one she had anticipated fondly. It is hard to know whom to blame more, the insensitive man or the exploiters who had abused his tendency to reciprocate a gift until his response had soured to a refusal. No matter whom you find more blameworthy, the lesson is clear. We will always encounter authentically generous individuals as well as many peo- ple who try to play fairly by the reciprocity rule rather than to exploit it. They
