Book Description
MANY YEARS HAVE PASSED SINCE WE WELCOMED THE FIRST STRANGERS INTO OUR HOME. I now feel qualified to comment on our experience and include information that we would have found helpful when we took what seemed at the time quite a brave step. My husband spent all his working life in the hospitality industry and we first met whilst studying hotel and catering management at the same college back in the late 50s. Now, nominally retired, we have gone full circle - back to serving meals and making beds - and enjoying it more than ever! The difference between then and now is that we fill our empty bedrooms with guests as a pleasure, rather than solely through financial necessity. Tolerance, flexibility and a sense of humour have been needed on occasions, but our guests have been absolutely great and since starting our business our faith in humanity has soaredA". Read Helen's book for guidance on: - DOING YOUR INITIAL RESEARCH - COMPLYING WITH THE LAW - PREPARING THE ROOMS - LOOKING AFTER YOUR GUESTS - MARKETING YOUR B&B - PRICING AND BOOK KEEPING.

A Moscow Math Circle
Author: Sergey Dorichenko
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 0821868748
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
Moscow has a rich tradition of successful math circles, to the extent that many other circles are modeled on them. This book presents materials used during the course of one year in a math circle organized by mathematics faculty at Moscow State University, and also used at the mathematics magnet school known as Moscow School Number 57. Each problem set has a similar structure: it combines review material with a new topic, offering problems in a range of difficulty levels. This time-tested pattern has proved its effectiveness in engaging all students and helping them master new material while building on earlier knowledge. The introduction describes in detail how the math circles at Moscow State University are run. Dorichenko describes how the early sessions differ from later sessions, how to choose problems, and what sorts of difficulties may arise when running a circle. The book also includes a selection of problems used in the competition known as the Mathematical Maze, a mathematical story based on actual lessons with students, and an addendum on the San Jose Mathematical Circle, which is run in the Russian style. In the interest of fostering a greater awareness and appreciation of mathematics and its connections to other disciplines and everyday life, MSRI and the AMS are publishing books in the Mathematical Circles Library series as a service to young people, their parents and teachers, and the mathematics profession.

Container Molecules and Their Guests
Author: Donald J Cram
Publisher: Royal Society of Chemistry
ISBN: 1847550622
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Container Molecules and Their Guests deals with the fundamental principles and objectives that govern this rapidly developing subject and illustrates the emergence of a new field of biomimetic chemistry. The book demonstrates how a number of techniques, such as molecular modelling, synthesis, crystal structure, NMR solution structure and mass spectral structure determinations can be combined to develop a new branch of organic chemistry. It discusses the chemistry of completely new families of complexes - the carceplexes, hemicarceplexes and velcraplexes - and reviews for the first time the uses of the interiors of hemicarceplexes as a new phase for carrying out chemical reactions and for protecting unstable species. Furthermore, it illustrates how complexation and decomplexation rates are measured to provide free energies of binding, discusses new phenomena such as constrictive binding, and shows how solvophobic forces drive complexation in a variety of organic solvents. It also covers catalysis through complexation and chiral recognition in catalysis, both secondary themes of this volume. Container Molecules and Their Guests will provide stimulating reading for researchers, post-graduate students and teachers involved in bio-organic chemistry, organic chemistry, materials science, and medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry.

The Demon of Chaos
Author: Consualo Williams
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1525560417
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
Shawn Laveau, a seasoned detective in the NYPD, is not prepared for the evil awaiting him during a stakeout in an affluent region of the city; when a syringe-wielding doctor murders his comrade and then evades arrest, Shawn is left disoriented and traumatized. Unable to shake the lingering terror, he moves to New Orleans, attempting to restart his life as a desk duty officer. Little does he know that he has been marked by an ancient evil that dwells within the bayous surrounding the city, buried deep beneath the muddy waters, awaiting its revenge—a revenge that originated long ago with the breaking of a sacred law. The ruthless demonic spirit soon finds its “puppet” in the form of a sadistic man—the murderous doctor himself—who serves his master in exchange for immortality, offering human sacrifices and orchestrating the conditions needed for the demon’s retribution. Soon a research facility is resurrected within the bayou’s depths. It’s built atop the remains of a psychiatric hospital that collapsed many years before as the result of unspeakable, unholy rites. Little does Shawn know that he and five others will come to know this place well—too well—as the hungry force beckons them there. Bound together by fate and relentlessly pursued by the undying spirit, these chosen six must find a way to overcome evil, lest they be devoured—blood, body, and soul.

Fantastic Numbers and Where to Find Them
Author: Antonio Padilla
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
ISBN: 0374600570
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
A fun, dazzling exploration of the strange numbers that illuminate the ultimate nature of reality. For particularly brilliant theoretical physicists like James Clerk Maxwell, Paul Dirac, or Albert Einstein, the search for mathematical truths led to strange new understandings of the ultimate nature of reality. But what are these truths? What are the mysterious numbers that explain the universe? In Fantastic Numbers and Where to Find Them, the leading theoretical physicist and YouTube star Antonio Padilla takes us on an irreverent cosmic tour of nine of the most extraordinary numbers in physics, offering a startling picture of how the universe works. These strange numbers include Graham’s number, which is so large that if you thought about it in the wrong way, your head would collapse into a singularity; TREE(3), whose finite nature can never be definitively proved, because to do so would take so much time that the universe would experience a Poincaré Recurrence—resetting to precisely the state it currently holds, down to the arrangement of individual atoms; and 10^{-120}, measuring the desperately unlikely balance of energy needed to allow the universe to exist for more than just a moment, to extend beyond the size of a single atom—in other words, the mystery of our unexpected universe. Leading us down the rabbit hole to a deeper understanding of reality, Padilla explains how these unusual numbers are the key to understanding such mind-boggling phenomena as black holes, relativity, and the problem of the cosmological constant—that the two best and most rigorously tested ways of understanding the universe contradict one another. Fantastic Numbers and Where to Find Them is a combination of popular and cutting-edge science—and a lively, entertaining, and even funny exploration of the most fundamental truths about the universe.

Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 111819778X
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 440
Book Description
With its clear, straightforward presentation, this text enables you to grasp all the fundamental concepts of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. This will allow you to understand the time course of drug response and dosing regimen design. Clinical models for concentration and response are described and built from the basic concepts presented in earlier chapters. Your understanding of the material will be enhanced by guided computer exercises conducted on a companion website. Simulations will allow you to visualize drug behavior, experiment with different dosing regimens, and observe the influence of patient characteristics and model parameters. This makes the book ideal for self-study. By including clinical models of agonism, indirect drug effects, tolerance, signal transduction, and disease progression, author Sara Rosenbaum has created a work that stands out among introductory-level textbooks in this area.You'll find several features throughout the text to help you better understand and apply key concepts: Three fictitious drugs are used throughout the text to progressively illustrate the development and application of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic principles Exercises at the end of each chapter reinforce the concepts and provide the opportunity to perform and solve common dosing problems Detailed instructions let you create custom Excel worksheets to perform simple pharmacokinetic analyses Because this is an introductory textbook, the material is presented as simply as possible. As a result, you'll find it easy to gain an accurate, working knowledge of all the core principles, apply them to optimize dosing regimens, and evaluate the clinical pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic literature.

The Core Essence
Author: Ravi Shivdasani
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 83
Book Description
Travelling around the world is an experience, one that encompasses not only taking in the breathtaking views of new places and new sights but also, more importantly, the headiness of interacting with people and hearing and listening to their life experiences. The Core Essence is a collection of 10 short stories based on anecdotes that were recounted to the author by people of many nationalities and in many different cities. People sitting together in a restaurant, at a bar, in the park; total strangers sharing their life experiences with an empathetic and kindly listener. Sometimes poignant and sometimes pensive and sometimes outright funny, these tales will evoke a myriad emotions, but in all of them, the core essence of life and living will shine through. This is a deeply satisfying and thought-provoking book that will highlight how we all travel through life with similar experiences and that we must learn to understand and connect with each other at a deeper level than we tend to do.
