Developing Story Ideas: Find the ideas you haven't yet had - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: The vast majority of screenplay and writing books focus on story development and have little to say about the initial concept that generated the piece. Developing Story Ideas offers writers a spectrum of resources and a structure of writing practice so that anyone can quickly and reliably generate a wide variety of stories in a broad range of forms. It first shows you how to observe situations, acts, and themes-and use these observations as the basis for storytelling. Exercises and projects help you draw an artistic self-profile to summarize what you most need to investigate in your creative work. Micahel Rabiger, a renowned teacher, author, educator, and mentor, proves we all have the inner resources and life experiences to be creative. He guides aspiring writers step by step to come up with quality story ideas in a broad range of forms: a screenplay, short story, documentary, or play.
Know What You Don't Know: How Great Leaders Prevent Problems Before They Happen - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: “Dr. Roberto has skillfully managed to blend in-depth research with his straightforward and enjoyable style and, in doing so, painted a masterpiece that should be considered by any institution or individual looking to detect or solve problems. Presenting cases and their lessons from multiple venues, he offers wisdom readily applicable to any arena.” —Duane Deal, Brigadier General, United States Air Force (Retired) “Solving problems is one thing; finding them early enough to do something about it is quite another. In this entertaining book full of insight and examples, Michael Roberto provides managers with hands-on recommendations on how to avoid falling into decision-making traps by getting a step ahead.” —Sydney Finkelstein, Steven Roth Professor of Management, Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth, and author of Why Smart Executives Fail and Think Again “In typical style, Mike Roberto gets right to the heart of major challenges facing businesses in today’s rapidly changing landscape. He provides not only a burning platform for thinking differently, but also practical tools for busy leaders to implement following an ‘action learning’ approach.” —Jon Shepherd, Chief Learning Officer, Mars Inc. In Know What You Don’t Know, best-selling author Michael Roberto shows leaders how to go beyond mere “problem solving” to uncover and address emerging problems while they’re still manageable–before they mushroom into disaster! Roberto first identifies the diverse, sometimes surprising reasons why problems typically fester in the shadows, ignored and unaddressed. Next, he systematically introduces seven powerful solutions. You’ll discover how to become a business “anthropologist,” observing how your employees, customers, and suppliers actually behave, not just how they’re “supposed” to behave. Roberto shows how and when to circumvent your gatekeepers to see crucial raw data...how to “connect the dots” among issues that seem unrelated, but are really signs of a deeper pattern...how to promote candor among front-line employees...encourage “useful” mistakes, and more. Along the way, Roberto offers powerful insights for overcoming the “isolation trap” so many senior executives face: the trap that can keep you assuming everything is fine, while your company’s problems are spiraling out of control! • Watch your company’s “game film”–and your competitors’ Systematically understand how your company is really behaving and performing–and how you really match up • Recognize the value of “small failures” Use small problems as a window on your system–and a signal of possible weaknesses elsewhere • Get beyond the numbers, to the reality Discover why too much formal analysis can actually hide your problems–and start leveraging the value of intuition • Become a true business “ethnographer” Observe your people in their natural setting–and recognize what they’re not telling you
Negotiation: The Art of Getting What You Want - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: ou don't have to act like the people in the foregoing examples. You don't have to take no for an answer. You don't have to accept what is offered or back off from what you deserve. You will learn that you have recourse, that there are ways to change “No” to “Yes,” that you don't have to settle for table scraps when what you deserve is a square meal. How? By learning to become a better negotiator. In more than 20 years of conducting negotiation seminars, giving speeches and coaching hundreds of people on the life skill of negotiation, I've come to one inescapable conclusion: Most people don't get what they deserve in their day-to-day lives. I'm not talking about year-long vacations in the Caribbean or thirty-room ocean side estates – not that those wouldn't be nice. I'm talking about what's coming to you in the context of your everyday life. This book is an outgrowth of discussions I've had with people from all walks of life. I'll be amazed if you don't see yourself in almost every page of the book – feelings you've had, situations you've been in, that are nearly identical to those of the people whose real-life experiences pack these pages. I've talked to machinists and mothers, assistants and managers, senior citizens and teenagers, factory workers and therapists, writers and all manner of othr business people. I've been on call-in radio programs and seen the switchboard light up like a Christmas tree with people seeking advice on their particular problems. Everywhere I go, the message always seems to come down to this: “I need help in negotiating. I have a hard time standing up for my own cause. Too often, I'm shamed or manipulated into acting a certain way or doing something I don't want to do. Too often, I'm thrust into the position of having to struggle to get even the short end of the stick.” Well, help is here! It's no secret why so many of us are uncomfortable negotiating for ourselves. Practically from the cradles---at home, school, church, and office – we've been conditioned to be obedient, to accept things as they are; in short, not to rock the boat. We have been brought up in a world of seemingly “fixed” prices, “inflexible” rules, and “immutable” decisions. We go into a store looking for a refund on a defective microwave oven we bought 35 days ago. “Sorry,” the salesclerk tells us, “but our policy is no refunds or exchanges after 30 days.” So we gulp, pick up our broken microwave, and head for home, right? Wrong! We negotiate . . . with the clerk, the clerk's boss, the boss's boss, or whoever has the clout to help us. And by the time we get to the end of this book, we're going to stand one heck of a chance of walking out of that store with either a new microwave or a refund.
Digital Signal Processing 101: Everything you need to know to get started - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: DSP is utilized in just about every electronic system or device. DSP is taking one piece of information be it data, image, video, or audio, most likely compressing, sending, and filtering it to another location within your application to appear in the form of a document, picture or video. Like Smith before it, this book is different to most on the market by following a popular applied approach to this tricky subject, and will be the perfect starting point for engineers who need to get into DSP from the ground floor. This book starts with the absolute basics of this integral process. No experience is expected and with no prior knowledge taken for granted, a refresher chapter on complex numbers and trigonometry can be found at the very beginning of the material. Real-world worked examples, reference designs, and tools - including online applets that enable readers to visualize key principles - complete a package that will help engineers who that needs to learn anew or refresh their memory on this essential technology as they move to projects that require DSP familiarity. Dismayed when presented with a mass of equations as an explanation of DSP? This is the book for you! Clear examples and a non-mathematical approach gets you up to speed with DSP Includes an overview of the DSP functions and implementation used in typical DSP-intensive applications, including error correction, CDMA mobile communication, and radar systems

YOU: The Owner's Manual, Updated and Expanded Edition: An Insider's Guide to the Body that Will Make You Healthier and Younger - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Between your full-length mirror and high-school biology class, you probably think you know a lot about the human body. While it's true that we live in an age when we're as obsessed with our bodies as we are with celebrity hairstyles, the reality is that most of us know very little about what chugs, churns, and thumps throughout this miraculous, scientific, and artistic system of anatomy. Yes, you've owned your skin-covered shell for decades, but you probably know more about your cell-phone plan than you do about your own body. When it comes to your longevity and quality of life, understanding your internal systems gives you the power, authority, and ability to live a healthier, younger, and better life. The flagship book of the YOU series, which spawned three subsequent New York Times bestsellers, has now been expanded and updated to make you understand your body even better—perhaps too well.

The book opens with a quiz, ''How Well Do You Know Your Body?,'' which sets the stage for the following chapters. After taking the quiz, you'll learn about all of your blood-pumping, food-digesting, and keys-remembering systems and organs, including the heart, brain, lungs, immune system, bones, and sensory organs. Each chapter also contains common myths of the particular body part that the authors will debunk. Just as important, you'll get the facts and advice you need to keep your body running long and strong.

Climate of Extremes: Global Warming Science They Don't Want You to Know - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Is the weather truly getting worse? When it comes to global warming, dire predictions seem to be all we see or hear. Climatologists Patrick Michaels and Robert Balling Jr. explain why the news and information we receive about global warming have become so apocalyptic. The science itself has become increasingly biased, with warnings of extreme consequences from global warming becoming the norm. That bias is then communicated through the media, who focus on only extreme predictions. The authors compellingly illuminate the other side of the story, the science we aren't being told. This body of work details how the impact of global warming is far less severe than is generally believed and far from catastrophic.
You: On A Diet: The Owner's Manual for Waist Management - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: For the first time in our history, scientists are uncovering astounding medical evidence about dieting -- and why so many of us struggle with our weight and the size of our waists. Now researchers are unraveling biological secrets about such things as why you crave chocolate or gorge at buffets or store so much fat. Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz, America's most trusted doctor team and authors of the bestselling YOU series, are now translating this cutting-edge information to help you shave inches off your waist. They're going to do it by giving you the best weapon against fat: knowledge. By understanding how your body's fat-storing and fat-burning systems work, you're going to learn how to crack the code on true and lifelong waist management. Roizen and Oz will invigorate you with equal parts information, motivation, and change-your-life action to show you how your brain, stomach, hormones, muscles, heart, genetics, and stress levels all interact biologically to determine if your body is the size of a baseball bat or of a baseball stadium. In , Roizen and Oz will redefine what a healthy figure is, then take you through an under-the skin tour of the organs that influence your body's size and its health. You'll even be convinced that the key number to fixate on is not your weight, but your waist size, which best indicates the medical risks of storing too much fat. Because the world has almost as many diet plans as it has e-mail spammers, you'd think that just about all of us would know everything there is to know about dieting, about fat, and about the reasons why our bellies have grown so large. YOU: On a Diet is much more than a diet plan or a series of instructions and guidelines or a faddish berries-only eating plan. It's a complete manual for waist management. It will show you how to achieve and maintain an ideal and healthy body size by providing a lexicon according to which any weight-loss system can be explained. YOU: On a Diet will serve as the operating system that facilitates future evolution in our dieting software. After you learn about the biology of your body and the biology and psychology of fat, you'll be given the YOU Diet and YOU Workout. Both are easy to learn, follow, and maintain. Following a two-week rebooting program will help you lose up to two inches from your waist right from the start. With Roizen and Oz's signature accessibility, wit, and humor, YOU: On a Diet -- The Owner's Manual for Waist Management will revolutionize the way you think about yourself and the food you consume, so that you'll diet smart, not hard.
