Daughters Gone Wild, Dads Gone Crazy by Charles Stone,Heather Stone Pdf

Fifteen psychologists, twelve secondary schools, four expulsions, four rehabs, two house-arrests and innumerable arguments... the cast and plot line for a season's worth of Law and Order? No. This was the real-life drama of Heather Stone's adolescence. Now in college, Heather, the once rebellious teen, has sat down with her father to pen an insider's guide for parents and teens alike. Charles and Heather don't offer Cleaver family ideals or promise Brady Bunch thirty-minute solutions. They, instead, share the realities of their 6-year nightmare, in the hopes of fostering hope for the millions of families trying to survive the years from thirteen to eighteen. Replete with faith, honesty, and practicality, it offers readers nine practical lessons and provides a compass for even the worst tempests of teen rebellion.

The Laconia Survey: Archaeological data by William G. Cavanagh,British School at Athens Pdf

This intensive, full-coverage survey was conducted by the Universities of Nottingham and Amsterdam in conjunction with the British School at Athens between 1983 and 1988. It covered a territory of just over 70 sq km in central Laconia, extending from the east side of the River Evrotas, close to Sparta, up into the foothills of the Parnon range. The Survey identified over 400 sites, the great majority of them previously unknown, dating variously to the Neolithic, Bronze Age, Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, and Veneto-Turkish periods. The new information makes possible a re-evaluation of the settlement history and rural economy of Sparta and Laconia. This is presented in Volume I, in which the ecology and geomorphology of the region set the scene for period by period analyses of the results and implications of the Survey. Volume II assembles the primary data, including a pottery series for each period and separate studies of chipped and ground-stone artefacts, inscriptions, architectural fragments, other finds, and the results of geophysical survey. The site catalogue is complemented by a new gazetteer of archaeological sites in the rest of Laconia. Vol II - Archaeological Data.

Rendezvous by Reginald de Palm Pdf

This book is a collection of short stories, written from dreams and pictured images. Brazilian Roulette is one of them and is completely based on a dream, containing very little editing. It is about one scene where the action starts shortly after the first words are read and never stops thereafter. In this story, there are no specific heroic acts toward the crime itself, but theres a rescue of a scooter taking place that catapults the protagonist into following the bad guy and capturing all the action on video, which is streamed from a drone to the Internet. All of this brings the adventure to a twisting end. Then there is the Under Water story that is based on a picture of two rescue personnel, who posed in front of a half-sunken car in a river behind them. This triggers the story to be written about what is not in the picturethe moments before the car had ditched into the river and what happened to the occupants thereafter. Sometimes inspiration is taken from happenings all around us, like Stained, a story based on a young man that is revising his passport after it has been issued to him. His long stare into the passport triggered the feeling that something must be said about whatever is being looked at in that passporta mysterious stain. Work is also a very inspiring source, where stories are made in real time. Credit My Identity describes the life of a young female that gets herself entangled in doing the wrong thing for the right reasons. The longest short story is about a journey to a better life, where family threads are sought, and it climaxes at the Rendezvous: In San Nicolas. More is discovered than bargained for in Migrated Bloodline.

Head First Ajax by Rebecca M. Riordan Pdf

Ajax is no longer an experimental approach to website development, but the key to building browser-based applications that form the cornerstone of Web 2.0. Head First Ajax gives you an up-to-date perspective that lets you see exactly what you can do—and has been done—with Ajax. With it, you get a highly practical, in-depth, and mature view of what is now a mature development approach. Using the unique and highly effective visual format that has turned Head First titles into runaway bestsellers, this book offers a big picture overview to introduce Ajax, and then explores the use of individual Ajax components—including the JavaScript event model, DOM, XML, JSON, and more—as it progresses. You'll find plenty of sample applications that illustrate the concepts, along with exercises, quizzes, and other interactive features to help you retain what you've learned. Head First Ajax covers: The JavaScript event model Making Ajax requests with XMLHTTPREQUEST objects The asynchronous application model The Document Object Model (DOM) Manipulating the DOM in JavaScript Controlling the browser with the Browser Object Model XHTML Forms POST Requests XML Syntax and the XML DOM tree XML Requests & Responses JSON -- an alternative to XML Ajax architecture & patterns The Prototype Library The book also discusses the server-side implications of building Ajax applications, and uses a "black box" approach to server-side components. Head First Ajax is the ideal guide for experienced web developers comfortable with scripting—particularly those who have completed the exercises in Head First JavaScript—and for experienced programmers in Java, PHP, and C# who want to learn client-side programming.
