Hailed as the adventure-writing successor to Hemingway and Ruark, only Peter Hathaway Capstick "can write action as cleanly and suspensefully as the best of his predecessors' (Sports Illustrated). This long-awaited sequel to Death in the Silent Places brings to life four turn-of-the-century adventurers and the savage frontiers they braved.
* Frederick Selous, a British hunter, naturalist, and soldier, rewrote the history books with his fearless treks deep into Africa. * English game ranger Constantine "Iodine" Ionides saved Tanganyikan villages from man-eating lions and leopards. He also gained lasting fame for his uncanny ability to capture black mambas, cobras, Gaboon vipers, and other deadly snakes. * The dashing Brit Johnny Boyes who gained the chieftainship of the Kikuyu tribe with sheer bravado and survived the ferocious battles and ambushes of intertribal warfare. * And Scottish ex-boxer, Jim Sutherland, one of the best ivory hunters who ever lived. His tracking skills and stamina afoot became the stuff of African hunting legend.
In The African Adventurers: A Return to the Silent Places, Capstick delivers "the kind of chilling stories that Hemingway only heard second-hand...with a flair and style that Papa himself would admire" (Guns and Ammo). The author's pungent wit and his authenticity gained from years in the bush make this quartet of vintage heroics an unforgettable return to the silent places.

User Stories are a great method for expressing stakeholder requirements, whether your projects follow an Agile, Iterative, or a Waterfall methodology. They are the basis for developers to deliver a suitable information technology (IT) app or application. Well-structured user stories express a single action to achieve a specific goal from the perspective of a single role. When writing user stories, stakeholders knowledgeable about the role should focus on the business result that the IT solution will enable while leaving technology decisions up to the developers. Good user stories are relevant to the project, unambiguous, and understandable to knowledge peers. The best user stories also contain crucial non-functional (quality) requirements, which are the best weapon in the war against unsatisfactory performance in IT solutions.
This book presents two common User Story structures to help you ensure that your User Stories have all the required components and that they express the true business need as succinctly as possible. It offers 5 simple rules to ensure that your User Stories are the best that they can be. That, in turn, will reduce the amount of time needed in User Story elaboration and discussion with the development team.
After reading this book you will be able to:
Translate business needs into well-structured User Stories
Write User Stories that express the what and avoid the how
Apply five simple rules for writing effective User Stories
Clarify assumptions in User Stories by adding context
Identify and remove ambiguous and subjective terms and phrases in User Stories
Select the appropriate format for expressing User Stories for Agile Projects
Write stakeholder requirements in User Story format that solve business problems
Elaborate User Stories to identify measurable non-functional requirements
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
The term "User Story" is a relative new addition to our language and its definition is evolving. In today's parlance, a complete User Story has three primary components, namely the "Card", the "Conversation", and the "Criteria". Different roles are responsible for creating each component.
The "Card" expresses a business need. A representative of the business community is responsible for expressing the business need. Historically (and for practical reasons) the "Card" is the User Story from the perspective of the business community. Since we wrote this book specifically to address that audience, we use the term "User Story" in that context throughout.
The "Conversation" is an ongoing discussion between a developer responsible for creating software that meets the business need and the domain expert(s) who defined it (e.g., the original author of the "Card"). The developer initiates the "Conversation" with the domain expert(s) to define the "Criteria" and any additional information the developer needs to create the application. There is much to be written about both the "Conversation" and the "Criteria", but neither component is dealt with in any detail in this publication.
A well-written User Story ("Card") can drastically reduce the time needed for the "Conversation". It reduces misinterpretations, misunderstandings, and false starts, thereby paving the way for faster delivery of working software. We chose to limit the content of this publication to the "User Story" as understood by the business community to keep the book focused and address the widest possible audience.

Описание: The Theory of Quaternions is due to Sir William Rowan Hamilton, RoyalAstronomer of Ireland, who presented his first paper on the subject to theRoyal Irish Academy in 1843. His Lectures on Quaternions were publishedin 1853, and his Elements, in 1866, shortly after his death. The Elements ofQuaternions by Tait is the accepted text-book for advanced students.The following development of the theory is prepared for average studentswith a thorough knowledge of the elements of algebra and geometry, andis believed to be a simple and elementary treatment founded directly uponthe fundamental ideas of the subject. This theory is applied in the moreadvanced examples to develop the principal formulas of trigonometry andsolid analytical geometry, and the general properties and classification ofsurfaces of second order.
If You Want to Calculate Your Life Path And Know What Numbers Know That You Don t, Then Keep Reading...
Do you sometimes question if you are on the right path or if you are wasting your time on something you are not supposed to do?
Do you repeatedly see numbers all around you? I m not talking about telephone numbers, area codes or price tags, but patterns that are not 'normal'? 11:11, 333, 666?
Do you ever recognize certain character traits among people that are born in the same month?
What if all the 'coincidences' in your life mean much more than you think on first sight?
There is a 4000-year-old science based on the mathematics of the universe called numerology.
Instead of 1+1, you can reveal the message behind everything that is happening in your life right now.
And even more. Once you discover how to decode numbers and understand how astronomical phenomena impact a person s personality, you can not only predict, but also change your future for the better.
Imagine you had the ability to decide your child s destiny? The day and month someone is born shapes who they are today and who they are going to become.
There is no such thing as coincidence.
People fear numbers and astrology because it s easier to blindly follow their fellows. Most of us live in a fake bubble of who we are and what we are doing on this planet.
Looking deeper into numbers and the position of celestial objects requires strength and willpower. From now on, you can take charge of your destiny.
Always remember, the universe has your back and you will receive the same energy back that you send out.
In Numerology and Astrology for Beginners, you'll discover:
How the flap of a butterfly's wings in Mexico cause a giant change in your life
The man's name that 666 stands for and if you should be worried (Find the answer on page 12)
Why you are missing out on an exciting adventure if you are not paying attention to this one number in your life (hint: between 0-10)
Why 911 is the universal help hotline if you want a change in life

How to choose your friends and partners wisely and prevent yourself from energy draining relationships
How and which numbers predicted the success of Apple, BMW, Microsoft and Co. (page 41)
And much more.
If this is your first contact with astrology and numerology, you might be skeptical if this unknown science is trustworthy.
We have all heard the sentence 'Only an idiot would believe that the month you are born could have effect on your personality.'
But what if I tell you that science has proven:
you are more likely to be diagnosed with schizophrenia if you are born in February
suicide is strongest in people born in between April and June
you could be suffering from dyslexia if you are a summer baby
If you still think it s all hocus-pocus, then you must be a Gemini (they tend to be over skeptical).
