***  YOU Have a Story to Tell & We Know How!  ***


Dear Reader,

How many times have you sat around a table with family reminiscing about experiences you've shared in the past?

Your cousin Freddy recalls the time you all went camping and you fell in the lake trying to save your brand new fishing pole.

Your sister pipes up and reminds you of the time you all baked cooked and almost started a fire in the kitchen!

Someone mentions Uncle Joe and how he was always the life of the party and how you all miss him so much.

Amidst all the revelry and nostalgia, another family member suggests that someone needs to record all this information for posterity.  A reminder to the children of who they are and where they came from.

You all agree that's a great idea and then the conversation takes a turn and the subject is laid to rest along with all the other "shoulda - coulda - woulda" that stacks up in our daily lives.

Does that scenario sound familiar?  It plays out over and over again across the globe.  Maybe that isn't your experience.  Perhaps your destiny lies in a different direction.  You may be inspired by the life and deeds of someone else and would like to record their life for generations to come.

Whatever your reasons may be you can write yours or another's life story.  How, you ask?  Don't listen to your mind begin to plant seeds of doubt.  Your only drawback is the willingness to get started.


Where to Begin

Thankfully, we have just the solution for you. We realize that once the decision to record your history is made, fear and doubt begin to creep in and before you know it the entire process can seem overwhelming.

Well it needn't be.  All you need is a little guidance and you'll find it in "Write Your Life Story Now!"  

Our author takes you straight through step-by- step process from beginning to finished project.  Let's take a look at some of what John Williams reveals for you:

• Why you need to write your own story.
• Learn what the first steps need to be.
• Discover what stumbling blocks may be holding you back.
• Explore the benefits to writing your story.
• Uncover the basics of preparation.
• Dig out the importance of research
• How to use a timeline and a mind map

And, that's all BEFORE you even begin to write!  Just imagine how much more is jam-packed into this must have tool!

We truly hope you see the potential here, and realize how important this offer is!

明朝那些事儿 第一部 洪武大帝 (v. 1.0)

Ming Shen опубликовал приложение 2012-09-01
(обновлено 2012-09-01)

《明朝那些事儿》这篇文主要讲述的是从1344年到1644年这三百年间关于明朝的一些事情，以史料为基础，以年代和具体人物为主线，并加入了小说的笔法，对明朝十七帝和其他王公权贵和小人物的命运进行全景展示，尤其对官场政治、战争、帝王心术着墨最多，并加入对当时政治经济制度、人伦道德的演义。

《明朝那些事-朱元璋卷》从朱元璋的出身开始写起，到永乐大帝夺位的靖难之役结束为止，叙述了明朝最坚苦卓绝的开国过程。更有明朝最大的谜团-----永乐夺位、建文失踪的靖难之役。高潮迭起，欲罢不能。

朱元璋生于乱世之中，背负着父母双亡的痛苦，从赤贫起家，他没有背景，没有后台，没有依靠，他的一切都是自己争取来的，他经历千辛万苦，无数次躲过死神的掌握，从死人堆里爬起来，掩埋战友的尸体，然后继续前进，继续战斗。

朱元璋的那个时代有着无数的厉害角色，陈友谅、张士诚、王保保个个都不是省油的灯。朱元璋用他惊人的军事天赋战胜了这些敌人，可以说，在那个时代，最优秀统帅的称号非朱元璋莫属。 他几乎是赤手空拳，单枪匹马凭借着自己的勇气和决心建立了庞大的帝国。

ITIL: The Hub (v. 1.0)

MadamGeeky опубликовал приложение 2012-08-30
(обновлено 2012-08-30)

The ITIL information and news hub. Up to the minute news, videos, forums, announcements and more, at your fingertips.

ITIL
The Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) is an Information Technology (IT) management framework that provides practices for Information Technology Services Management (ITSM), IT development and IT operations.
ITIL gives detailed descriptions of a number of important IT practices and provides comprehensive checklists, tasks and procedures that any IT organization can tailor to its needs. ITIL is published in a series of books, each of which covers an IT management topic. The names ITIL and IT Infrastructure Library are registered trademarks of the United Kingdom's Office of Government Commerce (OGC).

HISTORY
Responding to growing dependence on IT, the UK Government's Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency in the 1980s developed a set of recommendations. It recognised that without standard practices, government agencies and private sector contracts were independently creating their own IT management practices.

The IT Infrastructure Library originated as a collection of books, each covering a specific practice within IT Service Management. ITIL was built around a process-model based view of controlling and managing operations often credited to W. Edwards Deming and his plan-do-check-act (PDCA) cycle.

After the initial publication in 1989–1996, the number of books quickly grew within ITIL v1 to over 30 volumes.
In 2000/2001, to make ITIL more accessible (and affordable), ITIL v2 consolidated the publications into 8 logical "sets" that grouped related process-guidelines to match different aspects of IT management, applications, and services.

However, the main focus was known as the Service Management sets (Service Support and Service Delivery) which were by far the most widely used, circulated, and understood of ITIL v2 publications.
In April 2001 the CCTA was merged into the Office of Government Commerce (OGC), an office of the UK Treasury.

In 2006, the ITIL v2 glossary was published.

In May 2007, this organisation issued the version 3 of ITIL (also known as the ITIL Refresh Project) consisting of 26 processes and functions, now grouped under only 5 volumes, arranged around the concept of Service lifecycle structure.
In 2009, the OGC officially announced that ITIL v2 certification would be withdrawn and launched a major consultation as per how to proceed.

OVERVIEW/: ITIL v3 LIBRARY
ITIL v3 is an extension of ITIL v2 and will fully replace it following the completion of the withdrawal period on 30 June 2011. ITIL v3 provides a more holistic perspective on the full life cycle of services, covering the entire IT organisation and all supporting components needed to deliver services to the customer, whereas v2 focused on specific activities directly related to service delivery and support. Most of the v2 activities remained untouched in v3, but some significant changes in terminology were introduced in order to facilitate the expansion.

Five volumes comprise the ITIL v3, published in May 2007:
1. ITIL Service Strategy
2. ITIL Service Design
3. ITIL Service Transition
4. ITIL Service Operation
5. ITIL Continual Service Improvement

CERTIFICATION
The certification scheme differs between ITIL v2 and ITIL v3 and bridge examinations let v2 certification owners transfer to the new program. ITIL v2 offers 3 certification levels: Foundation, Practitioner and Manager. These should be progressively discontinued in favour of the new ITIL v3 scheme. ITIL v3 certification levels are: Foundation, Intermediate, Expert and Master.

***  Say What You Mean, Mean What You Say and Deliver It With Panache!  ***

Dear Reader,

Are you a good conversationalist? Do you often speak in a public forum or shudder at the thought of giving a speech?  Many of us fall somewhere in between.

It may seem strange but there are some folks who make great conversationalists but are rendered a mass of fright if asked to just say a few words at a wedding or other social event.

Then there are those of us who are shy and introverted.  These tendencies can leave an otherwise gifted person feeling inadequate and never quite succeeding at more than just a mediocre career.

It doesn't matter one bit how good a student we were or where we fall on the socio-economic scale, if we are unable to articulate our thoughts in a cohesive manner we just won't be as successful as our potential indicates we could and should be.

Look around you. Today's world is all about communication.  If you can't communicate optimally your chances for advancement economically and socially are just plain abysmal.

Do you have a hidden desire to improve your communication skills?  Do  you wish you could articulate your thoughts into words with ease?  Do you want to be that person who steps up to the podium to "say a few words?"

What if I told you that you can?  What if I told you that you can break the chains that are binding those vocal chords of yours and learn to freely express your thoughts, ideas and potential?  And, do it with panache!

Ask yourself these three questions:
  
1.What if there were a way to tap into your own power source?
2.What if you were able to quickly connect to other people?
3.What if there were a way to make a lasting impression?
  

You CAN and it's much simpler than you may think.
  
How Can You Become a Great Communicator?
  
Well, you need the right tools.  Once you have the right tools, you need a roadmap of instructions showing you how to get from Point A to Point B.

Now, there are some options available to you.  You can attend classes that will teach you.  there are some very good ones, but they take a lot of time and some expense.

You can hire a coach who can probably do an exceptional job but it's going to be pretty pricey!

Or, you can read our professional guide, "Talk to Impress!"

Now, before you jump right down to the order button, pay attention for just a few more minutes.

This isn't rocket science.  There are some very basic universal principles that our author has used to create magic for you with his words.  

You will learn to see yourself as others see you.  You might be very surprised at the results.

And memory...if you actually realized the advantage that proper use of memory will give you, you can become invincible!
  

and some of the best parts are . . .
  
• It isn't written by a guru, just an ordinary guy making it easy to read.
• It doesn’t take tons of time to see progress.
• It doesn't cost an arm and a leg!
  
Everything is there to help you understand and apply the strengths that are already within you.  Take a look at what you'll uncover:

   Learn how to make a lasting impression.
   Find out how what you say and how you say it is important.
   Discover why and how to relax.
   Feeding your self talk!

We truly hope you see the potential here, and realize how important this offer is!

■作品冒頭
　アサコさんは、当時高校生の俺から見てかなり新鮮な存在だった。
　高校入学してすぐ始めたバイト先――四月七日生まれを少し喜んだ記憶がある――の先輩だった。
　家から自転車で十五分程のところにあるそのコンビニをバイト先にわざわざ選んだのに、大した理由はない。もし辞めた時近所のコンビニは行き辛くなって不便だろう、程度の理由で、わざわざ離れたところにしただけに過ぎない。
　バイトを始めたのも、単にもっと小遣いが欲しかったからだ。
　高校生のそんな浅はかな考えをお見通しだったに違いないオーナーは、自分の手で新人研修する手間を避け、先輩バイトにその役割を任じた。
　それが、アサコさんである。
