Water : Miracle Cure

Water : Miracle Cure
Beth Agnew | ISBN 0-9731336-8-6 | Pdf | 129 pgs | 2 mb

Depressed? Fatigued? Got a headache? Many pains and illnesses are caused by dehydration, a widespread condition of drought within your body.

Our bodies are 75% water, and water is a critical element in cell function. Without an adequate supply of water, the body cannot repair itself, or remove toxic wastes efficiently. It becomes sick from having to operate in a chronic state of dehydration.

If you are not drinking at least 64 fluid ounces (2 liters, or 4 pop bottle size containers) of water a day IN ADDITION to any coffee, colas, tea, juices, or alcohol you drink, you are dehydrated!

Water can save your life!

The Art of Writing Reasonable Organic Reaction Mechanisms

The Art of Writing Reasonable Organic Reaction Mechanisms
Robert B. Grossman | ISBN 0-387-95468-6 | Pdf | 371 pgs | 7 mb

The purpose of this book is to help you learn how to draw reasonable mechanisms for organic reactions. A mechanism is a story that we tell to explain how compound A is transformed into compound B under given reaction conditions. Imagine being asked to describe how you travelled from New York to Los Angeles (an overall reaction). You might tell how you traveled through New Jersey to Pennsylvania, across to St. Louis, over to Denver, then through the Southwest to the West Coast (the mechanism). You might include details about the mode of transportation you used (reaction conditions), cities where you stopped for a few days (intermediates), detours you took (side reactions), and your speed at various points along the route (rates). To carry the analogy further, there is more than one way to get from New York to Los Angeles; at the same time, not every story about how you traveled from New York to Los Angeles is believable. Likewise, more than one reasonable mechanism can often be drawn for a reaction, and one of the purposes of this book is to teach you how to distinguish a reasonable mechanism from a whopper.

It is important to learn how to draw reasonable mechanisms for organic reactions because mechanisms are the framework that makes organic chemistry make sense. Understanding and remembering the bewildering array of reactions known to organic chemists would be completely impossible were it not possible to organize them into just a few basic mechanistic types. The ability to formulate mechanistic hypotheses about how organic reactions proceed is also required for the discovery and optimization of new reactions.

The general approach of this book is to familiarize you with the classes and
types of reaction mechanisms that are known and to give you the tools to learn how to draw mechanisms for reactions that you have never seen before.

Dictionary of Chemistry

Dictionary of Chemistry
McGraw Hill | Mark D. Licker | Pdf | 443 pgs | 3 mb

The McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Chemistry provides a compendium of 8000 terms that are central to chemistry and related fields of science and technology. The coverage in this Second Edition is focused on the the areas of analytical chemisty, general chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, and spectroscopy, with new terms added and others revised as necessary.

Chemistry deals with the composition, properties, and structure of matter. Its various branches analyze composition and properties, and study the changes that occur in matter, the underlying processes, the energetics of these processes, and the rates at which they occur. Thus, the terms contained in this Dictionary may be used in virtually all areas of science, for example, biochemistry, geochemistry, and cosmochemistry, and in many areas of technology.

All of the definitions are drawn from the McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, Sixth Edition (2003). Each definition is classified according to the field with which it is primarily associated; if it is used in more than one area, it is identified by the general label [CHEM]. The pronunciation of each term is provided, along with synonyms, acronyms, and abbreviations where appropriate. A guide to the use of the Dictionary appears on pages vii-viii, explaining the alphabetical organization of terms, the format of the book, cross referencing, chemical formulas, and how synonyms, variant spellings, abbreviations, and similar information are handled. The Pronunciation Key is provided on page x. The Appendix provides conversion tables for commonly used scientific units as well as other listings of chemical data.

Animating Real-Time Game Characters

Animating Real-Time Game Characters
Paul Steed | ISBN: 1-58450-270-3 | Pdf | 400 pgs | 12 mb

My intent in writing Animating Real-Time Game Characters has been to
share my work methods, thoughts, and ideas about animating real-time characters in 3ds max 4™ and character studio 3®. Any factor that affects the animation process using these two tools has been covered. Design, modeling, texturing, rigging, weighting, keyframing, motion capture, and exporting to a game engine are all in here. Written for the relatively new or intermediate user of 3ds max, the book isn't just a rehash of the manuals and tutorials that came with your software, it's a companion to them. Make sure that you know your way around 3ds max 4 at a basic level and that you have at least gone through the animation tutorials in order to understand the terminology that will be used. Since I usually wait at least a year after the latest version of 3ds max comes out until I begin using it, the information presented doesn't include or apply to 3ds max 5. However, with the exception of a couple of key features, I'm confident that many of the tips and tricks covered will work for 3ds max 3 and 3ds max 5 as well.

To illustrate ideas, tips, tricks, and techniques, I've used several characters from games or projects I've completed over the last year and a half, but most often I've used a character called Betty Bad from the self-titled game that was released January 2002 by WildTangent. This is primarily to show you the thought and work that goes into an implemented game character. By doing so, I've hopefully given you a snapshot of what I do every day and have been doing every day for the past nine years: character animation. It's not just my job, it's my hobby, passion, and the thing I love to discuss with others.

Cut Hair at Home Lika a Pro

Cut Hair at Home Lika a Pro
Steven Woodham| Pdf | 56 pgs | 2 mb

Anyone can cut hair. All it takes is a desire to do so and a few basic instructions. What is most important is practice.

After a trip to the beauty salon or barber shop, most people feel as if some mystery or secret has just been performed. It is as if someone has waved a magic wand over our head. All we know is that after a good haircut we look a little neater and more well groomed. The purpose of this book is to take the mystery out of cutting hair. This book will show you the basics. In an illustrated, easy to understand, step by step format, you will learn everything from what tools you will need to do a good job, to the three basic methods from which all cuts and styles are derived.

It is important that you read this book completely from cover to cover before attempting any of the cuts.

One word of caution: it is unlawful, in most places, to cut hair without a license. If you are reading this book, you may want to consider becoming a licensed professional. I have included a special section on the pros and cons of haircutting as a career for those who may be interested. In any case, one need not be a licensed professional to perform a professional looking haircut. I have seen several so called “home haircuts” in my career that looked as good as what I myself, a licensed professional, could do. In the next chapter, we will get started so you too, can cut hair like a pro.

Polyhedron Origami For Beginners

Polyhedron Origami For Beginners
Miyuki Kawamura | ISBN 4-8896-085-6 | Pdf | 100 pgs | 13 mb

This Book is for Everyone-- those who already love polyhedra, and those who don't know anything about them.

Do you love polyhedra? Have you made them before? Or are they a complete mystery to you? I myself have loved polyhedra since I was a child, partly because I could see so many different shapes in a single polyhedron. (But, really, I don't know why I love polyhedra. I just love them, and that's all.) Before I began to study polyhedra, and to build them with origami, I didn't know there were so many polyhedra in the world.

There was no one to teach me, and there were no books to show me. I wanted other people to be able to easily learn about polyhedra,
and to make them themselves, and so I wrote this book. I hope this book leads you into the world of polyhedra!

Chemical Composition of Everyday Products

Chemical Composition of Everyday Products
Greenwood | ISBN 0-07-142240-4 | Pdf | 220 pgs | 2 mb

Welcome to the enormous world of chemical products for the average consumer! We all reside in an environment richly filled with numerous consumer choices, in which chemistry plays a pivotal role. Chemistry, often described as the systematic study of all substances, is an extremely important part of human society.

The study of chemistry encompasses the composition and properties of all matter and any changes exhibited when there is a reaction with other types of substances. Matter, of course, is any substance that occupies space within the universe and has a property called mass. Any substance that can be characterized and quantified by weight has mass. A change that may result from the interaction of two or more substances is defined as a chemical reaction, and the substances individually are termed chemicals.

Thus, chemistry is part of the study of the functioning and properties of the physical world. In other words, chemistry is a specialization in the general field of science. Life is frequently described as a series of choices within the overall chemistry of the world. Therefore, a description of the chemistry of everyday products is simply a guide to specific types of chemical items available in modern societies that have come to symbolize convenience, prosperity, and an increase in the overall quality of our lives. The materials used by the chemical industry are chosen for many reasons, including cost, product performance, consumer use comfort, and so on.

The goal of this book, although certainly not exhaustive, is to describe in general language the specific chemical composition of a range of consumer products while also highlighting such topics as the historical use of the product, physical functioning, and any associated environmental and/or human healthrelated issues.

$14 Video Camera Stabilizer

$14 Video Camera Stabilizer

A cheap and simple way to eliminate jittery action shots

Johnny Lee | Make Vol. 01 - 2005 | Pdf | 15 pgs | 4 mb

Professional camera stabilizers use a complex, levered arrangement to capture smooth-looking video, even when the camera and camera operator are in motion. The camera operator may walk (or even jog), move through tight hallways and doorways, and climb up and down stairs without shaking the camera.

Unfortunately, professional Steadicams cost upwards of $10,000. Even cheap, third-party stabilizers cost at least $600. So I decided to make my own. It cost me $14. Here's how you do it.
