    Let Me Be Your Star , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 70min
    A once-aspiring actress who never quite got over her dreams of Broadway stardom, Shukert lovingly sunk her teeth into analyzing (and often, inventing) every detail of NBC's embattled little-musical-that-couldn't, and before long, found herself at the center of the backstage drama behind the backstage drama that captivated America (or at least, the part of it that spends a lot of time handing out their head shots in Times Square.) Childhood heroes became devoted fans. Rabid internet mobs called for her death. And through it all, Rachel kept recapping, risking her health, her sanity, and her sleep hygiene forever. And somehow, she made her Broadway dreams come true, although in a way she never could have imagined as a nine-year-old lip-synching her way through the original cast album of "Sunday in the Park With George" back in her living room in Omaha. An inventive blend of memoir, cultural criticism, and wildly absurdist fan fiction (and including never-before-published material, suitable for sing-alongs!), Let Me Be Your Star is your recap of recaps from a master of the form, lifting the veil on fan culture, Broadway, and the woman behind the keyboard desperately trying to think of another mildly erotic joke about Elaine Stritch at 4:30 am on a Tuesday. Anyone who loves television, the Internet, or Into the Woods (and if you don't fall into any of these categories, please prove to this computer that you are a human being) won't want to miss this thoughtful, hilarious meditation on life, art, and the act of creation by one of our most inimitable comic voices. ungekürzt.

    What's the surest way to fail in a leadership role? Lose sight of the values that attracted you to the company culture. In Unleash Your Values, a retired Army officer reveals why so many officers and enlisted commit for an entire career. Because they found a place where they can live their lives and their beliefs within the bounds described: the company's values. Corporate values are critical to retaining your best employees. Leaders are responsible for maintaining the corporate culture, and they do this by upholding the values. Values are the heart of what attracts and retains people to your organization. When people feel they are in a place where their company values match their own, they feel aligned. They become more committed and engaged. They are happier, more productive; the essence of great teams. Author Tom Crea shares first-hand experiences about developing as a leader within a supportive environment. He takes you on his journey along the skills curve, revealing how communication skills are increasingly more important for your leadership development journey. Each chapter is broken into several sections where he recaps crucial points in his keys to leadership success and business insights, and includes steps for the leader to apply. Today's businesses are in need of good leaders more than ever before. Leadership isn't easy, but it is so much easier when your values are aligned. Unleash Your Values shows you how to identify what is most important and develop the presence and confidence to display your true character. An Army officer and former aviator, Crea cracks the code for developing leadership in a world where businesses crave helmsmen who steer the organization in the right direction. In Unleash Your Values, he breaks down the leadership development process into five steps, making it simple for you to visualize, outline, and begin your own journey. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Quantum Computing for Everyone (eBook, ePUB)
    An accessible introduction to an exciting new area in computation, explaining such topics as qubits, entanglement, and quantum teleportation for the general reader.Quantum computing is a beautiful fusion of quantum physics and computer science, incorporating some of the most stunning ideas from twentieth-century physics into an entirely new way of thinking about computation. In this book, Chris Bernhardt offers an introduction to quantum computing that is accessible to anyone who is comfortable with high school mathematics. He explains qubits, entanglement, quantum teleportation, quantum algorithms, and other quantum-related topics as clearly as possible for the general reader. Bernhardt, a mathematician himself, simplifies the mathematics as much as he can and provides elementary examples that illustrate both how the math works and what it means. Bernhardt introduces the basic unit of quantum computing, the qubit, and explains how the qubit can be measured; discusses entanglement—which, he says, is easier to describe mathematically than verbally—and what it means when two qubits are entangled (citing Einstein's characterization of what happens when the measurement of one entangled qubit affects the second as "spooky action at a distance”); and introduces quantum cryptography. He recaps standard topics in classical computing—bits, gates, and logic—and describes Edward Fredkin's ingenious billiard ball computer. He defines quantum gates, considers the speed of quantum algorithms, and describes the building of quantum computers. By the end of the book, readers understand that quantum computing and classical computing are not two distinct disciplines, and that quantum computing is the fundamental form of computing. The basic unit of computation is the qubit, not the bit.
