Apartness and Uniformity

This book presents a theory of apartness encompassing both point-set topology and the theory of uniform spaces. The first book on the apartness approach to constructive topology, it is a valuable addition to the literature on topology in computer science.The theory presented in this book is developed constructively, is based on a few axioms encapsulating the notion of objects (points and sets) being apart, and encompasses both point-set topology and the theory of uniform spaces. While the classical-logic-based theory of proximity spaces provides some guidance for the theory of apartness, the notion of nearness/proximity does not embody enough algorithmic information for a deep constructive development. The use of constructive (intuitionistic) logic in this book requires much more technical ingenuity than one finds in classical proximity theory -- algorithmic information does not come cheaply -- but it often reveals distinctions that are rendered invisible by classical logic.In the first chapter the authors outline informal constructive logic and set theory, and, briefly, the basic notions and notations for metric and topological spaces. In the second they introduce axioms for a point-set apartness and then explore some of the consequences of those axioms. In particular, they examine a natural topology associated with an apartness space, and relations between various types of continuity of mappings. In the third chapter the authors extend the notion of point-set (pre-)apartness axiomatically to one of (pre-)apartness between subsets of an inhabited set. They then provide axioms for a quasiuniform space, perhaps the most important type of set-set apartness space. Quasiuniform spaces play a major role in the remainder of the chapter, which covers such topics as the connection between uniform and strong continuity (arguably the most technically difficult part of the book), apartness and convergence in function spaces, types of completeness, and neat compactness. Each chapter has a Notes section, in which are found comments on the definitions, results, and proofs, as well as occasional pointers to future work. The book ends with a Postlude that refers to other constructive approaches to topology, with emphasis on the relation between apartness spaces and formal topology.Largely an exposition of the authors' own research, this is the first book dealing with the apartness approach to constructive topology, and is a valuable addition to the literature on constructive mathematics and on topology in computer science. It is aimed at graduate students and advanced researchers in theoretical computer science, mathematics, and logic who are interested in constructive/algorithmic aspects of topology.

Dark Psychology and Manipulation (Take Control of Your Life, #1) (eBook, ePUB)

Are you tired of having the wool pulled over your eyes?Do you feel that people are always taking advantage of you or your relationships are superficial and fake?Are you ready to stand against those who think they can manipulate and take advantage of you?If you answered yes to any of the following statements, this book is for you. Why? Dark Psychology and Manipulation is a book that draws attention to the manipulating and persuasive behavior of those around us who choose to use them to further hidden motives. From the workplace to your home, with your colleagues, friends, or family, we sometimes want to believe that those who care about us would never manipulate us. The sad reality is, sometimes, it is those who are closest that take advantage of the kind-hearted. In Dark Psychology and Manipulation, we discuss the techniques that make up the facet of dark psychology, including persuasion, manipulation, and coercion. As you read on, I explain methods of identifying deceit and manipulation, and I provide helpful techniques on how to protect yourself from further being a victim. Once you have understood the many forms of dark psychology, I then detail how to turn things around to benefit you for the better. I want to show you how you can use manipulation, persuasion, and coercion for good. I also discuss how you can turn the tables on the very people who thought they could take advantage of you. What am I going to get out of this? Your dignity, confidence, and peace of mind will never be forced to do anything you don't want. There are plenty of books on "how to" manipulate and be persuasive. Dark Psychology and Manipulation is different. It shares helpful pointers that will help create awareness with useful tools to manage someone who thinks they can manipulate or persuade you. It is human nature to be easily swayed when we perceive something to benefit us. For example, we think if someone compliments and is drawn to us, we may feel important and valuable. What we don't see is the hidden motives of such behaviors and actions that come afterwards. Inside the pages of Dark Psychology and Manipulation, I will cover techniques on protecting yourself from dark psychology and how to identify the art of dark psychology. Learn about…The mentality of a manipulatorPsychological Triad (Narcissism, Machiavellianism, and Psychotherapy)Emotional intelligencePersuasion and influenceTurning the tables on the manipulator to benefit youAnd much, much more!Stop being the emotional, mental, and verbal punching bag of a manipulator. Don't let someone trick you into thinking they care, have your interest at heart, or know what's best for you. Take a stand, and turn the tables on anyone seeking to cause you harm. I have created Dark Psychology and Manipulation as an easy to read guide to stop the negativity toxicity that comes from those who believe in manipulation, persuasion, and narcissism to get what they want.

Lie There and Lose Weight (eBook, ePUB)

For over a year John Ordover documented his struggle to lose weight, in the process creating a battlefield journal of the physical and emotional challenges he faced and how he worked past them. Here Ordover collects his weekly weight reports and adds wry observations on what he was doing and feeling, ways he coped with both setbacks and success, and a sharp push-back against society's unkind treatment of those with a weight problem. In his own illuminating and irreverent style, Ordover lays out how determination, distraction and a sense of humor helped him cope with dieting's unavoidable irritations and walk past constant temptation to recover his health. To get there, he had to see past what "everyone knows" about losing weight-but is dead wrong, figure out what worked for him, and cut through the biggest myth of all: that weight loss requires hours at the gym or miles on the track. Charming and compelling, insightful and entertaining, Ordover's story of losing weight and keeping it off is very much his own, yet offers guidance and support to anyone facing the same life-or-death challenge. "Lie There and Lose Weight arrived this morning; I read most of it then and there. It's charming, intelligent, personal and you might pick up a few pointers in the read. I like best of all that it's Ordover's story, no one else's, and no lectures! In a world of endless weight-loss books it's nice to find one that speaks a personal truth and perhaps there may be some truth in it for me... and you too." - CCH Pounder "Insightful, endearing and surprisingly funny...." - The Brooklyn Daily Eagle "A slender volume that will definitely make your volume slender." - New York Times best-selling author Peter David. "No one hates to lose more than John Ordover. So you can imagine my surprise when he lost 100 pounds without breaking a sweat.... Amazing!" -New York Times best-selling author David Mack "Losing weight is hard for everyone, but few can write about it with as much warmth, humor and honesty as John Ordover does in this remarkable book. He takes us along as he loses more than a hundred pounds, relating every step of his journey with refreshing candor and insight. His experience should serve as an inspiration to anyone looking to lose weight and keep it off."- David K. Randall, New York Times bestselling author of Dreamland: Adventures in the Strange Science of Sleep "With elegant grace and a touch of humor, John Ordover takes us through his fight to lose 100 pounds. The portrait of his struggle and celebration of his success will motivate of anyone looking to shed pounds. Let this book be your guide on how you, too, can Lie There and Lose Weight. - Thomas A. McKean, author of Soon Will Come the Light: A View From Inside the Autism Puzzle "Lie There and Lose Weight...reads like a thrilling suspense story that plays out one pound at a time, as John Ordover takes us through his struggle not only to lose weight but to save his life. An inspiring, must have book for everyone who finds losing weight to be a real pain in the a**." - New York Times bestselling author Diane Carey "What I admire most about Lie There and Lose Weight is that it doesn't contain the phrase 'made easy.' John Ordover acknowledges that losing weight - and keeping it off - is incredibly difficult and very hard work. Bravo."--Keith R.A. DeCandido, best-selling author of Star Trek: The Klingon Art of War "The best weight loss book I have ever read. So much of what John Ordover writes I have experienced, felt and dealt with. That my son has autism means taking care of myself is mandatory, so I can be around to take care of him. Fifteen months ago I was in the best shape of my life. Now I'm dealing with major physical issues, gained 25 pounds, and am wanting my old body and clothes back. I was feeling the futility of it all and was buoyed ... by learning I could lose weight without running a 5K 3 times a week." - Becky Large, Champion Autism Network." "This book has already helped me lose 50 pounds!" - Warren Lapine, Wilder Publications.

Effective C++

Effective C++ 3/e is a complete update of Effective C++ and Effective C++ 2/e . Like its predecessors, 3/e has 55 guidelines which contain better, more effective ways to write code, backed by specific examples. The second edition published in 1997, and was basically a face-lift of the first edition, keeping most of the same elements, and seven years later is still selling well. Now, Meyers has dramatically rejuvenated the material, including more than 30% brand-new material. Meyers began this edition by asking himself, "What are the 55 most important pieces of advice for practicing C++ programmers in 2005?" He also asked thousands of past users of his books this same question. This resulted in a completely new book. New material includes use of UML notation, thread safety, exception safety, design patterns, and templates. Any older material has been revitalized to reflect new ideas and strides in C++ development. Product Description "Every C++ professional needs a copy of Effective C++. It is an absolute must-read for anyone thinking of doing serious C++ development. If you've never read Effective C++ and you think you know everything about C++, think again." - Steve Schirripa, Software Engineer, Google"C++ and the C++ community have grown up in the last fifteen years, and the third edition of Effective C++ reflects this. The clear and precise style of the book is evidence of Scott's deep insight and distinctive ability to impart knowledge." - Gerhard Kreuzer, Research and Development Engineer, Siemens AG The first two editions of Effective C++ were embraced by hundreds of thousands of programmers worldwide. The reason is clear: Scott Meyers' practical approach to C++ describes the rules of thumb used by the experts - the things they almost always do or almost always avoid doing - to produce clear, correct, efficient code. The book is organized around 55 specific guidelines, each of which describes a way to write better C++. Each is backed by concrete examples. For this third edition, more than half the content is new, including added chapters on managing resources and using templates. Topics from the second edition have been extensively revised to reflect modern design considerations, including exceptions, design patterns, and multithreading. Important features of Effective C++ include: Expert guidance on the design of effective classes, functions, templates, and inheritance hierarchies. Applications of new "TR1" standard library functionality, along with comparisons to existing standard library components. Insights into differences between C++ and other languages (e.g., Java, C#, C) that help developers from those languages assimilate "the C++ way" of doing things. Features + Benefits Revision of the best seller. This is the market leading, second book on programming that every C++ programmer needs. ° Scott Meyers is one of the world's foremost experts on C++ software development. He is an excellent promoter of his books. ° More than 50% new material and complete updates of tried-and-true material to bring it up to 2005 standards. ° There is no better way to bring C++ programmers up to date on cutting edge practices than this book. It's a classic--the #1 book of its kind. Backcover "Every C++ professional needs a copy of Effective C++. It is an absolute must-read for anyone thinking of doing serious C++ development.
