There are many applications that require parallel and distributed
processing to allow complicated engineering, business and research
problems to be solved in a reasonable time. Parallel and
distributed processing is able to improve company profit, lower
costs of design, production, and deployment of new technologies,
and create better business environments. The major lesson learned
by car and aircraft engineers, drug manufacturers, genome
researchers and other specialist is that a computer system is a
very powerful tool that is able to help them solving even more
complicated problems. That has led computing specialists to new
computer system architecture and exploiting parallel computers,
clusters of clusters, and distributed systems in the form of grids.
There are also institutions that do not have so complicated
problems but would like to improve profit, lower costs of design
and production by using parallel and distributed processing on
clusters. In general to achieve these goals, parallel and
distributed processing must become the computing mainstream. This
implies a need for new architectures of parallel and distributed
systems, new system management facilities, and new application
algorithms. This also implies a need for better understanding of
grids and clusters, and in particular their operating systems,
scheduling algorithms, load balancing, heterogeneity, transparency,
application deployment, which is of the most critical importance
for their development and taking them by industry and business.
Forty Days of Yoga is a powerful resource for anyone interested in
committing to a home yoga practice. Drawing on her years of home
practice experience, yoga teacher and writer Kara-Leah Grant
examines many of the obstacles - both internal and external - that
one can face when undertaking a self-directed practice, especially
while living an ordinary life in the busy, modern world. Packed
full of ingeniously practical worksheets and examples from
Kara-Leah's own life, this book invites readers to reflect honestly
and creatively on their own process and aspirations for a home yoga
practice. In this way, Kara-Leah helps readers see that their life
- obstacles and all - can become part of the solution, rather than
being seen as a 'problem'. For more than a how-to yoga book, Forty
Days of Yoga takes readers on a journey into their psyche and helps
them design strategies to make daily practice possible in their
life - no matter what that life is like. Kara-Leah has a
no-nonsense approach that is practical, down-to-earth and also
light-hearted. She's encouraging and supportive but leaves no
excuses left standing. By the end of the book, you'll know what
supports your practice, what undermines your practice, and exactly
what you need to do about it. In addition to helping readers assess
their lives and design their own personal home yoga practice,
Kara-Leah also takes a closer look at yoga. She asks readers to
broaden their definition of yoga and to understand that it's both a
process and a practice. She teaches yoga as a personal practice -
something that supports the needs of the individual and meets them
where they are, as they are. If you're struggling with committing
to a regular home yoga practice, this is the book for you.
A thought-provoking book of daily spiritual devotions that seeks to
draw the reader into a deeper spiritual relationship with Jesus
Christ.
