Funny and sometimes shocking stories behind the scenes of major sports events are revealed for the first time in this unusual book Alex Cheng, president of a company in California that was the North American distributor for Omega Sports Timing, shares his observations in a candid and casual style His company, Seagull, Inc , was involved in timing ожиът systems and scoreboards for the Olympics in Montreal and Lake Placid, Pan Am Games in Mexico City, Commonwealth Games in Edmonton, the Canada Games and many events in skiing, swimming, track and field, car racing, horse racing, rodeos, boat racing, skateboard races, firemen's musters and other sports This book is sheer entertainment for anyone interested in a variety of sports from a new perspective or how a small company coped with a somewhat frenetic business At the same time, you will learn fascinating sports facts that will impress your friends For example: · Did you know runners are timed to 1/100 of a second based on the first part of the torso crossing the line? How is this decided with absolute accuracy? · Did you know the Montreal Olympics main stadium faced a grid lock of construction cranes and was only half finished when the Games began? And this is common with many Olympics! · Did you know the beeping count-down clock next to skiers about to start their race has nothing to do with their actual start time? · Have you wondered what it was like in the hockey stadium on the night of the "Miracle on Ice" victory in Lake Placid? · Do you know why Olympic style sailboat racing is amazingly similar to barrel racing in rodeos?

Book DescriptionThanks to digital technology and post-structuralist thought, architects and artists are facing a brave new world of bodies without organs, buildings that circumscribe their function, and art that forms a prosthetic hard drive for our consciousness In this schema, technology, which Marshal McLuhan theorized as the extension ожиъщ of our bodies into the world, has become inverted and is now literally seen as modifying and transforming our relation to that world through media's ability to not only create the means of representation, its subject and content, but also organize author and audience alike Beyond Form is both a celebration of our situation and a critical survival manual The contributors to this volume, including artists Jennifer Steinkamp and Maureen Connor, respond to the mediating space of technology, aware that the forms of the future lie within the indeterminate content of cultural production and consumption itself, and not within the ideal of the technological sublime of modernism that had in the past reduced this issue, both performatively and iconographically, to a question of form, function and style Edited by Omar Calderón, Christine Calderón, and Peter Dorsey Essays by Neil Leach, Jeffrey Kipnis, Omer Fast, Andrew Benjamin, Donald Kunze, et al Introduction by Saul Ostrow Paperback, 7 x 9 5 in / 192 pgs / Illustrated throughout.  Вятк   Unit   Семе   слов2004 г 191 стр ISBN 1882791096.

Word of mouth is an amazingly powerful force ? but how does it really work?

Book Description Although the seemingly apocalyptic scale of the World Trade Center disaster continues to haunt people across the globe, it is only the most recent example of a city tragically wounded Cities are, in fact, perpetually caught up in cycles of degeneration and renewal As with the WTC, from time to time these cycles are severely ruptured ожиэд by a sudden, unpredictable event In the wake of recent terrorist activities, this timely book explores how urban populations are affected by ‘wounds’ inflicted through violence, civil wars, overbuilding, drug trafficking, and the collapse of infrastructures, as well as ‘natural’ disasters such as earthquakes Mexico City, New York, Beirut, Belfast, Bangkok and Baghdad are just a few examples of cities riddled with problems that undermine, on a daily basis, the quality of urban life What does it mean for urban dwellers when the infrastructure of a city collapses – transport, communication grids, heat, light, roads,water, and sanitation? What are the effects of foreign investment and huge construction projects on urban populations and how does this change the ‘look’ and character of a city? How does drug trafficking intersect with class, race, and gender, and what impact does it have on vulnerable urban communities? How do political corruption and mafia networks distort the built environment? Drawing on in-depth case studies from across the globe, this book answers these intriguing questions through its rigorous consideration of changing global and national contexts, social movements, and corrosive urban events Adopting a ‘grass roots up’ approach, it places emphasis on people’s experiences of uneven development and inequality, their engagement with memory in the face of continual change, and the relevance of political activism to bettering their lives It is especially attentive to the historical interaction of particular cities with wider political and economic forces, as these interactions have shaped local governance over time Imagining each city as a ‘body politic’, the authors consider its capacity both to mediate local conflict and to broach the healing of wounds.  RHZN   Opti   DrBr   Lomo2003 г 256 стр ISBN 1859736882.

Book Description The universe is filled with extreme events: galactic collisions, supernovae eruptions, and stellar implosions Although not always visible through optical telescopes, these processes generate x-rays, high-energy particles that travel at the speed of light The Violent Universe reveals how astronomers use color to understand ожиэо the energy and intensity of these x-rays -- in the process transforming invisible particles into gorgeous images of the cosmos -- and how these scientists discover more about the exotic objects that produce them Kimberly Weaver traces the development of x-ray astronomy from the 1950s, when the first artificial satellites began transmitting information from deep space By juxtaposing a selection of images from optical telescopes with those of cutting-edge x-ray telescopes, she illustrates the way x-ray astronomy captures energy and activity that cannot be seen in visible light The book is illustrated with stunning four-color images of galaxies, quasars, pulsars, and black holes captured by Chandra, an enormous x-ray satellite that orbits Earth from a distance 200 times higher than that of the Hubble Space Telescope The Violent Universe makes plain the amazing new astronomy thathas unmasked the thunderous cosmos -- a dynamic science that daily creates breathtaking art.  Фран   Прои   Beko   Disc2005 г 200 стр ISBN 0801881153.

Book DescriptionWhat if we designed for all of our senses? Suppose for a moment that sound, touch, and odor were treated as the equals of sight, and emotion considered as important as cognition What would our built environment be like if sensory response, sentiment, and memory were critical design factors, the equals of structure and program? In ожиъф Sensory Design, Joy Monice Malnar and Frank Vodvarka explore the nature of our responses to spatial constructs-from various sorts of buildings to gardens and outdoor spaces, to constructions of fantasy To the degree that this response can be calculated, it can serve as a typology for the design of significant spaces, one that would sharply contrast with the Cartesian model that dominates architecture today In developing this typology, the authors consult the environmental sciences, anthropology, psychology, and architectural theory, as well as the spatial analysis found in literary depiction Finally, they examine the opportunities that CAVE(tm) and other immersive virtual reality technologies present in furthering a new, sensory-oriented design paradigm The result is a new philosophy of design that both celebrates our sensuous occupation of the built environment and creates more humane design Joy Monice Malnar, AIA, is assistant professor of architecture at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign Frank Vodvarka is associate professor of fine arts at Loyola University Chicago They are coauthors of The Interior Dimension: A Theoretical Approach to Enclosed Space (1992).  Sifr   Fisk   рабо   Юсуп2004 г 356 стр ISBN 0816639604.

Protein synthesis is the process in which cells build proteins The term is sometimes used to refer only to protein translation but more often it refers to a multi-step process, beginning with amino acid synthesis and transcription of nuclear DNA into messenger RNA which is then used as input to translation ожиыз The cistron DNA is transcribed into a variety of RNA intermediates The last version is used as a template in synthesis of a polypeptide chain Proteins can often be synthesized directly from genes by translating mRNA When a protein is harmful and needs to be available on short notice or in large quantities, a protein precursor is produced A proprotein is an inactive protein containing one or more inhibitory peptides that can be activated when the inhibitory sequence is removed by proteolysis during posttranslational modification.  Mari   Vino   Cafe   Gabr2010 г Мягкая обложка, 116 стр ISBN 6130349149.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In biochemistry and molecular biology, a residue refers to a specific monomer within the polymeric chain of a polysaccharide, protein or nucleic acid For example, one might say, "The histidine residue is considered to be basic due to its imidazole ring " Note that a residue is different from ожиын a moiety, which, in the above example would be constituted by the imidazole ring or "the imidazole moiety" Note the origin of this usage: during the process by which monomeric building blocks (e g amino acids) are strung together into a polymeric chain (e g a protein), some material (typically adding up to one molecule of water) is discarded from each building block, and only a "residue" of the building block ends up in the finished product For example, a residue is an individual amino acid in a peptide chain.  серт   Myth   Stan   Perp2010 г Мягкая обложка, 92 стр ISBN 6130348347.

Turning conventional wisdom on its head, The Blue Way shows why socially progressive companies that make political contributions to "blue" politicians and causes outperform "red" companies The idea that progressives are better at businesses than conservatives will surprise most people - including many progressives ожиюэ But as The Blue Way shows, in nearly every sector of the economy, blue companies are the top performers As a result, an investor who places his money in stocks of blue companies will do better than one who chooses red companies or who chooses to invest in the market as a whole In The Blue Way, Daniel Adamson and Joe Andrew, cofounders of Blue Investment Management, identify the companies that have the most progressive social values - fair wages, equal opportunity, environmental responsibility - and also contribute to progressive political causes (or are at least neutral) They describe the portfolio they have built around those companies, which to date has out-performed the market Their innovative investment strategy offers a profitable approach for investors seeking a principled and successful stock portfolio But The Blue Way is also a stirring manifesto, a call to embrace socially and politically progressive values As the authors show, these values aren't anti-business; they are pro-American For decades the American economy has performed better under Democratic administrations than under Republicans Americans who "buy blue," say Adamson and Andrew, aren't just acting on their values; they are helping to grow the American economy The authors explain how to build a "blue infrastructure," a progressive ecosystem in which companies and activists with progressive values can support blue politicians and causes The Blue Way shows how the progressive movement can learn from the success of the blue business world and create a new progressive majority for the future The Blue Way describes a revolutionary investment strategy back by solid financial research that benefits investors while fostering socially progressive American values.  Щерб   увед   серт   Fran2008 г Мягкая обложка, 256 стр ISBN 1416547355.

The aggressiveness of activism is intensifying While the threat of terrorism is no where near as great in the United States as it is in other parts of the world, direct activist action against individuals and their families is becoming a routine tactical choice These threats are intensifying because decreasing public and media interest frustrates ожияр current activist causes That means the tactics selected by activists today must create ever larger disruptions to gain the necessary leverage of fear and embarrassment that attracts media attention and potentially builds groups of activist followers This monograph focuses on learning how to successfully cope with activist intrusion threats by reducing or eliminating the news media component, which in turn reduces a target's attractiveness; and ways to outsmart and outmaneuver activists, thus denying them the psychological, ceremonial, ritualistic, and public attention successes they need to achieve their objectives.  меся   чита   теат   FlyiISBN 1883291135.
