Book Description
The startling new science behind sudden acts of violence and the nine triggers this groundbreaking researcher has uncovered We all have a rage circuit we can’t fully control once it is engaged as R. Douglas Fields, PhD, reveals in this essential book for our time. The daily headlines are filled with examples of otherwise rational people with no history of violence or mental illness suddenly snapping in a domestic dispute, an altercation with police, or road rage attack. We all wish to believe that we are in control of our actions, but the fact is, in certain circumstances we are not. The sad truth is that the right trigger in the right circumstance can unleash a fit of rage in almost anyone. But there is a twist: Essentially the same pathway in the brain that can result in a violent outburst can also enable us to act heroically and altruistically before our conscious brain knows what we are doing. Think of the stranger who dives into a frigid winter lake to save a drowning child. Dr. Fields is an internationally recognized neurobiologist and authority on the brain and the cellular mechanisms of memory. He has spent years trying to understand the biological basis of rage and anomalous violence, and he has concluded that our culture’s understanding of the problem is based on an erroneous assumption: that rage attacks are the product of morally or mentally defective individuals, rather than a capacity that we all possess. Fields shows that violent behavior is the result of the clash between our evolutionary hardwiring and triggers in our contemporary world. Our personal space is more crowded than ever, we get less sleep, and we just aren't as fit as our ancestors. We need to understand how the hardwiring works and how to recognize the nine triggers. With a totally new perspective, engaging narrative, and practical advice, Why We Snap uncovers the biological roots of the rage response and how we can protect ourselves—and others.

Book Description
This book contains information on what, why and how's of Snapchat. Jones starts with a brief introduction about Snapchat, it's history and eventually proceeds to topics such as Snapchat paid Advertising.Developed by three Stanford University students (Evan Spiegel, Bobby Murphy and Reggie Brown) as a part of a class project, Snapchat began under the name Picaboo. When Evan Spiegel (pictured to the left) debuted their idea to the class in April 2011, the other students scoffed at the idea of impermanent photos. Little did they know that this idea would go on to become insanely popular.In 2014, the Snapchat app was the fastest growing social app, boosting a 57-percent growth in the course of the year. While Pinterest, Instagram and Facebook Messenger also had a high rate of growth, none of them could come close to keeping up with the amount of downloads Snapchat was/is getting. While there are many different platforms out there that incorporate images and videos, Snapchat has found a niche in the social media universe. It has become one of the most popular social networks around. And it shows no signs of stopping. Snapchat is a social media app that allows you to take pictures and videos and send them to others without having to worry about whether or not it'll still be there the next day - in particular, worrying about your embarrassing pics and videos. This is because Snapchat was designed to specifically delete or remove the pictures or videos - also called memories - that you post from its database within 24 hours after being posted on its platform. And more than just being about pictures and videos, Snapchat is all about short-term content, also called transient pictures and videos. That is why, by default, all you can see on the app's home screen is just a simple camera view. And with such simplicity, it's very easy and convenient to send your pictures and videos to just about anyone on Snapchat. Here is a preview of what you will learn...Snapchat and it's historyGetting Started on SnapchatHow to take and Send a SnapHow is Snapchat different from WhatsApp and FacebookGaining followers on SnapchatSnapchat Paid AdvertisingConverting FollowersAnd More.....

Book Description
A "reboot" of a popular and practical how-to guide for leaders bridging digital social media and parish ministry. Revised and updated, Click2Save REBOOT covers the increasing sophistication and importance of mobile computing and leads readers through the changes and additions to social media platforms that are currently shaping how we communicate with, connect with—and can offer Christ-centered care to—one another: Facebook and Twitter, at the center of the first edition, have changed dramatically. Instagram, Pinterest, Snapchat, etc. have made images and video much more central. Innovative, often sophisticated voices are overtaking the blog form. Podcasting has become elegant and accessible to the masses through SoundCloud and similar hosting platforms, while Pokémon Go popularized augmented reality—even sometimes leading players into churchyards in their hunt. From their research and personal experience, the authors offer guidance on coping with—and getting the most out of—this evolving revolution.

Book Description
This book provides a coherent methodology for Model-Driven Requirements Engineering which stresses the systematic treatment of requirements within the realm of modelling and model transformations. The underlying basic assumption is that detailed requirements models are used as first-class artefacts playing a direct role in constructing software. To this end, the book presents the Requirements Specification Language (RSL) that allows precision and formality, which eventually permits automation of the process of turning requirements into a working system by applying model transformations and code generation to RSL. The book is structured in eight chapters. The first two chapters present the main concepts and give an introduction to requirements modelling in RSL. The next two chapters concentrate on presenting RSL in a formal way, suitable for automated processing. Subsequently, chapters 5 and 6 concentrate on model transformations with the emphasis on those involving RSL and UML. Finally, chapters 7 and 8 provide a summary in the form of a systematic methodology with a comprehensive case study. Presenting technical details of requirements modelling and model transformations for requirements, this book is of interest to researchers, graduate students and advanced practitioners from industry. While researchers will benefit from the latest results and possible research directions in MDRE, students and practitioners can exploit the presented information and practical techniques in several areas, including requirements engineering, architectural design, software language construction and model transformation. Together with a tool suite available online, the book supplies the reader with what it promises: the means to get from requirements to code “in a snap”.
