Personal tensions come to a head among a group of fathers and sons during an isolated Boy Scout retreat.

Tis guide is intended for students learning computer operations and administration on the AS/400 computer system. Offering a unique approach to learning AS/400 operations with extensive hands-on labs, self-tests, and review questions, this book uses real-world situations to enable users to be productive with AS/400 operations. This book also covers the requirements of the two IBM AS/400 certification exams: AS/400 Associate System Operator Certification (test 052) and AS/400 Professional System Operator Certification (test 053). The primary goal of this book is to teach users how to perform day-to-day operations on an AS/400 computer system, including IPL, starting and stopping the system, backup and recovery, and system cleanup. Procedures covered include creating and maintaining user environments, device configuration and management, security implementation, work and data management, and TCP/IP configuration. Console operations discussed include jobs, message handling, and working with spool files and peripheral devices. Functions of Operations Navigator are covered, and Electronic Customer Support (ECS) and PTF upgrades are also introduced.

Grab a seat, and get ready to cheer Lori on once again, as she works through the growing pains of middle-school and faces her fears—on the court and in life. Sixth grade is here! Just when Lori starts to get comfortable, things change again. Lori’s friends have found new interests. Her dad goes back to work for the first time since she was born. And when her mom decides to start coaching in the new after-school basketball league, Lori’s home life collides with her passion. To make matters worse, all her friends are playing for the opposing team. Lori feels frustrated and alone, like she might be falling behind in her game.

?He is a white man! Whites surround us! Defend yourselves!?The speaker immediately had my attention! And as if that were not enough, here came the whole village running at us?armed with every conceivable weapon known to the Yanomamo?machetes, axes, war clubs, bows and arrows?even two old shotguns. Daduwa, our native guide, jumped out in front of us. ?No! No! No,? he shouted, his arms waving wildly. ?He is not a white man!? Boy, this is going to be good! I thought to myself?praying silently for divine intervention.

Anthropologists surmise that the Yanomamo are perhaps the last culture to come in contact with the modern world. Author Mike Dawson's hair-raising and humorous growing up adventures, from his birth in the jungle through the death of his wife, Renee, provide insights into this primitive culture. Dawson was the cultural advisor to the award-winning, full-length feature film, Yai Wanonabalewa: The Enemy God (www.theenemygod.com), the true story of a Yanomamo leader recounting his life as a shaman and the supernatural struggle for the survival of his people. ..".a bit of Huck Finn, with an Amazon twist." Simon Romero Andean Bureau Chief, The New York Times Imagine a white boy, in "the hood" of this jungle tribe, living, playing, and growing up Yanomamo. Christopher Bessette, Writer/Director of the feature film Yai Wanonabalewa: The Enemy God ...a story of life with Stone-Age people, guaranteed to expand the mind of even the most experienced.

Describes the fundamentals of C++ programming and its relationship to games, with information on such topics as random number generation, game loops, and the standard template library.

Presents an introduction to the concepts of the Python computer language.

Mike Dawson spent more than two years preparing this book -- evaluating programming options, comparing techniques, and establishing benchmarks on thousands of programs. "Using the techniques in this book", he says, "I have made program after program run 30%, 400, even 50% faster". To help you do the same, Mike gives you code and benchmark results for initializing and clearing arrays, performing string manipulation, using validation arrays with look-up techniques, using arrays in arithmetic routines, and a lot more. Although the technique of performance programming turns out programs that maximize the AS/400's power, performance programming does not make coding or analysis difficult. With no more work than you do now, you can use the tricks and techniques in this book to get the most out of RPG programming, CL programming, file handling, and OS/400. By grouping related techniques and rating them for relative performance, this book clearly shows why one technique is better than others and gives you the knowledge you need to extend the life of your company's AS/400 investment, provide superior customer service, and furnish faster and more current management information.

Dawson brings to life a little-known world of shamanism, rituals, and secret initiations of the stone-aged culture of the Yanomamo tribe, with whom he shares the Gospel and deals with his own personal life and death situations.
