Your author attended an Alumni Seminar day in 2013 at USC
(University of Southern California) where he had received his PhD
and taught as an adjunct assistant Professor in Computer science.
He received two lectures in person, but both lectures could have
been sent by internet as part of Global Education. In that way
registered students worldwide could have received the same lectures
either in realtime or downloaded using encoded files. Both of these
USC lectures were of fascinating topics, but such lectures could be
made on a large number of subjects spread out over time to satisfy
the requirements of the University in which the student is
enrolled. The purpose of this book is to describe how the Internet
age requires a vast revision of the University Education System on
a global basis. The book will give information on things that can
be done and how to do these things to achieve Global Education.
Global education means the students can live anywhere and can be
enrolled in Universities anywhere and be lectured by the best. One
could postulate that, for example, the university of the future
will have no library because students will carry it in their
pockets; and that there will be no classes, as adaptive,
interactive, computer-taught sessions will have taken their place.
Lectures will be provided, courtesy of distance learning, by a few
world-class professors located around the globe. The University of
Arizona offers website degrees so you can live anywhere on Earth
and earn website degrees with this university. This book also
provides information about Website degrees in the US, Asia and
Europe. The rating of the University offering the website degree is
important in obtaining a job. So it may be easy to use the
University of Arizona for an advanced degree, but earning a degree
from a higher ranked university may be worth considering.
Your author decided to write this book about Wealth Accumulates to
the Few when chatting with my son about how he felt after having
been laid off from designing the software for the Mars Lander. His
response was it caused him to think about social matters while
working on a new Space Vehicle as a software consultant. He pointed
out the following: During the Industrial Revolution, there has been
more and more automation that has meant fewer and fewer human
workers were required to produce the goods needed. He also reminded
me that the rapid advancements in technology have made the goods
needed grow obsolete at a more and more rapid pace. For example,
travelers no longer use horse drawn carriages - they use
automobiles that travel on the freeways at 75 mph instead of a
carriage at 15 or 20 mph. Fewer and fewer people are buying Laptop
computers since they can obtain more functions on a Smart Phone for
a fraction of the price. In Detroit the automobile factories are
almost deserted of human workers since the same jobs can be done
better and cheaper by robots. So what is this doing? It is causing
the Economic Wealth to accumulate to those few who were able to get
in on the profit of one of these activities that generate huge
profits. More profit - fewer people to share in the profit -
therefore the wealth accumulates to that few.
When I was an Aerospace Executive responsible for overseas sales to
Iran and Israel, I had to do a lot of overseas travel by airliner
so I wanted to write this book, to learn how airline travel has
improved since the mid 1980s. Later the vice-president to whom I
reported offered me the Israeli business if I was willing to form
my own company. I eagerly accept his offer and established a
company specializing in designing Guidance and Control Systems for
Military Aircraft, which was basically funded by the profits from
the Israeli business. One of the consulting contracts of my company
was to spend several months in Taiwan, designing a new guidance and
control system for their new Ultra Fighter Aircraft to help defend
them against their enemies at that time. ch less expensive than
conventional (old-fashioned) At the Autonetics Division of Rockwell
I was Chief Engineer responsible for the F111 Avionics system built
by General Dynamics - Fort Worth with Avionics supplied by
Autonetics. This avionic system included a fly-by wire system with
duplicate Airborne Computers to perform all the computations
required by the Avionics systems, including the first GPS installed
on a military aircraft. A second reason I wanted to write this book
is that I learned that the Dreamliner has some of the features
first used on the F111 for which I designed the Guidance and
Control. This book includes a description of the similar features
used by the Dreamliner. I realize that the advent of Nanotechnology
used in the Dreamliner electronics, makes it quite different than
the electronics of the F111 time period. For example, GPS
navigation is included as a function on handheld smartphones in the
nanotechnology era rather a PC computer sized box used on the F111.
Another important factor is cost: nanotechnology electronics are
muelectronics.
Your author decided to write this book about DNA Chemistry after
being invited to a Caltech Associates dinner to hear a speech by
Professor Jacqueline Barton, a leader in the study of chemistry of
DNA by the Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Department at Caltech
where she is Chair of that department. I have included in this book
research I discovered taking place after investigating the
Internet. As Professor Barton stated in her Associates lecture, DNA
can be damaged in the double helical DNA. She and her Caltech
research associates are using a base of sensors they design to find
where the DNA is damaged and is in need of repair to avoid
cancerous mutations. The purpose of this book is to use the
Internet to explore what is happening in DNA Chemistry Research. I
find much research is taking place and it is exciting to find out
about the impact on Human Health in the areas of Cancer and
Alzheimer's Disease. We examine in detail what is happening in the
areas of DNA damage detection and what is being done to repair the
damage.
Your author felt the Washington Political Battles were preventing
anything from being accomplished in Washington DC. I found out
other Americans like me had the same views of the Washington
Problem when I attended my wife's High School Alumni meeting and my
Caltech Alumni meeting in May 2013. I heard men and women at both
alumni meetings saying over and over again: Can't these elected
officials in Washington get anything done? It appears these elected
officials feel no obligation to solve the problems of the country.
They appear to believe we elected them to point fingers at each
other rather than do what they are supposed to do. I have tried to
find out what is happening in these Washington Political battles by
researching the Internet. In this book I tried to present what
Washington IS doing instead of their responsible jobs.
A select group of world-class yachtsmen prepare for the
Round-the-World Multihull Race, a test to determine not only the
best go-fast design but also who is the world's greatest skipper.
The challengers have known each other through years of Grand Prix
and Olympic sailing competitions. Ronny Kelly, amiable and clever
Californian, Paoli Venuzzi, who secretly cheated Kelly out of the
gold at the Barcelona Olympics, and the Frenchman Phillippe Matin,
holder of many cross-Atlantic speed records, emerge as the top
contenders. Their efforts are bankrolled by a variety of
international corporations plus a Mafia backed bank. The Mafia
schemes to collect millions in gambling and drug peddling profits
by pressuring their skipper to smuggle cocaine and to arrange
"accidents" during the race. As the race proceeds, the Mafia become
more and more desperate to recoup their gambling losses and their
attempts become much more than "accidents."
Can the world live without Wikipedia for a day? The shutdown of one
of the Internet's most-visited sites is not sitting well with some
of its volunteer editors, who say the protest of anti-piracy
legislation could threaten the credibility of their work. The
protest is aimed at the Stop Online Piracy Act in the House of
Representatives and the Protect Intellectual Property Act under
consideration in the Senate. Both bills are designed to crack down
on sales of pirated American products overseas, and they have the
support of the film and music industry. Among the opponents are
many Internet companies such as Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Twitter,
eBay and AOL. They say the bills would hurt the industry and
infringe on free-speech rights

In Iran during the time of the Shah, the American engineer, Brad
Kelly, found himself involved in intrigues with the US CIA, the
Iranian SAVAK, the Israeli MOSSAD, and the KGB of the old Soviet
Union. Like many other American engineers and technicians working
on SECRET projects in those days, Brad found cooperative females at
every turn. It seemed to come with the overseas assignments. IBEX
relates what impact electronic spying can have on world events.
Your author, Dr. Jon Schiller, decided to write this book about
walking defects and how to walk normally again after noticing that
his daily 3 mile fast walk was not so fast anymore. The 3 mile
walk, which normally took 3/4 hour, began to take 1+1/2 hour. In
other words he was walking 2 miles/hour instead of 4 miles /hour.
He was normally a faster walker than his wife. She became a faster
walker after he noted the walking defect. After following the
concepts in this book the author and his wife were able to walk 4
miles daily in 1 hour and 30 minut
The News Media at the end of the year 2011 are full of how the
Republicans are going to win back the Presidency because of the
"terrible" job President Obama is doing of running the country. I
decided to write a book separating fact from fiction. Your author
has become an expert at surveying the Internet to find out what is
really going on in the world. I have discovered how to learn what
is happening in a variety of technical subjects such as Sustainable
Energy and Cosmology as well as the US Debt and the facts behind
the 9-11 attack and demise of Bin Laden. I find the Internet is
full of facts, but you must sort-out fact from fiction. I think
this book provides an objective survey of the Internet as to why
President Obama will be re-elected in 2012. I will try to summarize
the Republican Contenders at the end of 2011 and some of their
platforms in Chapter 8. President Obama's platforms are in Chapter
9.
I successfully created a DVD Movie: Using a Power Point
presentation with the Audio Recorded with a Microphone Using Cam
Studio software to record several Video Clips Importing these Clips
to Win Movie Maker and saving the Movie as a Video Then Burning a
Disk Using Win DVD Maker This book describes how to perform all of
the tasks necessary to end up with a published DVD. I learned how
to do it by creating two Movies and Disks suitable for publishing.
I must confess I made many mistakes ending up with unacceptable
DVDs before successfully saving my subject matter using the Win
Movie Maker. This saved Movie was then used to create a DVD
suitable for publishing. It took me several months of trial and
error before arriving at the proper procedure to use to obtain the
final publishable DVD. This book shows you the proper steps and
procedures to use so you can create a DVD using your material that
will be suitable for publishing by your selected DVD publisher. The
DVD can be published by Create Space (or another internet DVD
publisher, if there is one) using their DVD setup program:
The extreme volatility experienced by the US markets in July,
August, and September 2011 forced me to examine all potential
strategies to be used for Weekly Options. After reviewing the
potential options strategies, I have selected Debit Condors, Long
Straddles, and Credit Condors The Indices used for these strategies
include SPX (S&P 500), SPY (miniSPX), about 0.1 the SPX, and
OEX (S&P 100), about 0.5 the SPX. This book describes the new
software I have devised to trade these 3 strategies for these 3
Indices. The program: SelfAdapINDXWeeklyVLTY focuses on selecting
the best strategy and the best Index for executing during the next
week expiring on Friday. The software described in this book helps
the trader decide which of the 3 strategies to use for the weekly
options and provides computations to decide which of the 3 Indices
are best for the selected strategy
Your author decided to write this book about Prostate Cancer when
one of his best friends suffered from this disease. He took
extensive chemotherapy which extended his life, but made living
difficult. His body was saying make me live longer, but his mind
was saying I should die, living is too painful to continue. His
mind finally won-out and he died. This book used Internet to learn
about the symptoms of Prostate Cancer and the latest therapies used
to extend the life span of people suffering from this cancer. One
promising technology is the use of Nanocells which are injected in
the patient's blood stream. These nanocells seek out the cancer
cells and destroy them, thus curing the patient. I learned studying
Nanotechnology research for another book that people investigating
the applications of Nanocells had injected such synthesized cells
into mice and the cells had sought out the cancer cells and
destroyed them, thus curing the mice. If Bioscience researchers can
do the same thing for humans, then there is hope for eradicating
Prostate Cancer.
Your author wrote this novel describing Five Gay Love Conversions
to add to his other two Gay Tale novels, which have been popular as
judged by observing the statistics on the Google, Kindle, and
Amazon lists of books read. The first 6 Gay Tales novel was based
on academic gay societies except for one tale about lesbian Iraq
War widows. The second 6 Gay Tales novel was based on gay love
during the Afghanistan War, a gay love group in a Moslem bar, gay
love in space, gay love between two cryptologists while they solved
a hacking threat from Iranian hackers, and the seeking out and gay
love living together of a US General and Colonel who had used gay
love making to release tensions during the Afghanistan War. This
gay couple found each other in Pismo Beach, California, where they
moved to live with each other as gay lovers. This new book is a
series of five stories suggested by news articles and Internet
messages, with emphasis on how gay lovers found each other after
deciding to convert to gay love making, after a traumatic love
experience with their heterosexual lovers.
Your author decided to write this book about NanoTechnology after
being reminded of the fantastic developments of Professor Richard P
Feynman who was a professor at Caltech while your author was a
physics student earning his BS there between 1947 and 1951. I
started studying the pioneering research of Dr. Feynman after being
reminded of his famous lecture titled: There's Plenty of Room at
the Bottom. This discourse was presented at an American Physical
Society meeting at Caltech on December 29, 1959. Feynman considered
the possibility of direct manipulation of individual atoms as a
more powerful form of synthetic chemistry than the methods used at
the time. This became nanotechnology
