This report presents and analyzes new approaches for determining when a sector should be alerted by the Monitor Alert capability of the Traffic Flow Management System (TFMS). TFMS currently alerts a fifteen-minute interval for a sector if the demand for any minute in that interval exceeds the Monitor Alert Parameter (MAP). This method suffers from three problems: *The demand from a single minute does not adequately reflect controllers' workload for the entire 15-minute interval. *The alert status for an interval is unstable: it can frequently change with minute-by-minute TFMS updates. *The alerted interval depends on the arbitrary 15-minute boundaries. To deal with these problems, this report describes two new approaches for determining when a sector should be alerted, a deterministic demand pattern approach and a probabilistic approach.

Within the first few days locked behind 60-foot high walls, Inmate #461419 quickly realized he wasn't prepared for the rampant gang violence, corrupt guards, and suicides. He was in a new type of hell on earth that his religious textbooks never mentioned. In this captivating memoir, Scott takes readers behind the walls by sharing entries from his secret prison journal. He also reveals the intimate details that led to his life sentence. In Jesus the Ex-Con, you will laugh, cry, and even wince, but it is not entirely dark and sinister. You will also encounter a miraculous plot twist when Scott shares how he met an unusual convict who taught him how to escape the hell he created for himself.

LaGrange, GA - 1935 - Three little boys sit on the curb, sad, confused, wondering where they will sleep tonight. All of their worldly possessions lie strewn about on the sidewalk. Georgia National Guardsmen have just evicted the boys' families from their mill-owned homes. When Callaway Mills employees went on strike, Governor Talmadge declared martial law in LaGrange. Soldiers patrol the streets and tell neighbors not to talk to one another -- and they mean business. A large machine gun sits in the middle of the mill village at the front gate of Unity Mill.A few blocks away, on Park Avenue, a fight breaks out between soldiers and mill workers. After the soldiers deliver a fatal blow to the head of a WWI veteran, they arrest the others and transport them to a military internment camp in Atlanta. Meanwhile, in Germany, Nazi newspapers celebrate another successful round of union busting by the Georgia state militia, calling it a sign of fascism's coming global triumph.This book is not a work of fiction. It is the secret history of proto-fascism in America's greatest little city.Informed by social psychology research, Legacy examines corporate-funded racism, sexism, fundamentalism, and authoritarianism in LaGrange, GA, and ultimately critiques the corporate threat to democracy at the municipal level.

Designing Asynchronous Circuits using NULL Convention Logic (NCL) begins with an introduction to asynchronous (clockless) logic in general, and then focuses on delay-insensitive asynchronous logic design using the NCL paradigm. The book details design of input-complete and observable dual-rail and quad-rail combinational circuits, and then discusses implementation of sequential circuits, which require datapath feedback. Next, throughput optimization techniques are presented, including pipelining, embedding registration, early completion, and NULL cycle reduction. Subsequently, low-power design techniques, such as wavefront steering and Multi-Threshold CMOS (MTCMOS) for NCL, are discussed. The book culminates with a comprehensive design example of an optimized Greatest Common Divisor circuit. Readers should have prior knowledge of basic logic design concepts, such as Boolean algebra and Karnaugh maps. After studying this book, readers should have a good understanding of the differences between asynchronous and synchronous circuits, and should be able to design arbitrary NCL circuits, optimized for area, throughput, and power. Table of Contents: Introduction to Asynchronous Logic / Overview of NULL Convention Logic (NCL) / Combinational NCL Circuit Design / Sequential NCL Circuit Design / NCL Throughput Optimization / Low-Power NCL Design / Comprehensive NCL Design Example

"Spectacular. . . . Ten shades blacker and several corpses grimmer than the novels of John Grisham. . . . Do yourself a favor. Read this book." -Entertainment WeeklyTwo brothers and their friend stumble upon the wreckage of a plane-the pilot is dead and his duffle bag contains four million dollars in cash. In order to hide, keep, and share the fortune, these ordinary men all agree to a simple plan.

This book reports the results of an ethnographic study, focusing primarily on the experiences of four teachers of the Chinese language in Australian secondary schools. The author creates an audience for their voices as they reflect on their own understandings of culture, language teaching, and culture in language teaching through semi-structured interviews, and compares these reflections with written stimulus dialogues designed to elicit 'culture-in-language' reflections, as well as curriculum and policy documents produced by the Australian government. The book's findings indicate that teachers of the Chinese language are diverse in their views on culture, language teaching, and the ways in which culture can or should inform language teaching, and the author argues that language teacher intercultural competence cannot be assessed through a synthesis of the current English-only research literature. This book will be of interest to teachers and teacher trainers of Chinese as a foreign language, as well as students and scholars of applied linguistics and language education more broadly.

Are Your Ready to Quit Your Job and Make a Living As An Author?I was offered my first book deal before the age of 30. I was over the moon! I had a literary agent, and one of the top publishers in the country; when the book was published, there were even mega-production studios calling my agent to inquire about the rights.It’s what every author dreams of, right?!Kind of. Sort of. No!It used to be. But that was several years ago. That was before the birth of the first real game-changer since Gutenberg's press: the Amazon Kindle.The Kindle itself didn’t rock the industry to its core - rather, it was the self-publishing platform that came with it: Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP)Authors could always self-publish, but prior to KDP, it was something you did when no publisher would take a chance on you. After KDP, authors were proving that for the price of $0, you could have your book published not only electronically, but in print as well. In a very short time, authors started using KDP and becoming millionaires!I started using KDP (as well as other publishing distribution channels) way back when it first opened its doors, and I haven’t looked back. I’ve launched several imprints and have sold over 2,000,000 books. In this book, I’ll show you how I, and other authors, have done it.A word of caution: this isn’t a how-to publish a book on KDP; if you need a step-by-step on how to navigate through the KDP dashboard, then there are other books that cover that (but seriously, publishing through KDP is ridiculously easy!). This book is to help you launch your book and attract more readers.

Jump Start Your Career As a Children's Writer!Many years ago, I had the idea for my first picture book. I sat on in for years for one reason and one reason only: I couldn't draw. Like at all! Even my stick figures looked terrible!I hoped one day to be connected with an illustrator who couldn't write, but one day I decided to stop waiting and start doing! I got proactive and started looking for an illustrator. And it wasn't as much as I anticipated. I realized that this was something that really could be done on a budget!This book is twofold: One, it's for writers like me who need to know how to find an illustrator on a budget Two, it's for children's writers who are hoping to one day make a living doing this.Let's be clear: This is not an easy career; nor is one you will get rich quick at. But if you are ready for some hard work, then read on!Note: this book is based of "The Six Figure Writer"; it has an expanded section covering Children's Authorship.
