For every complex and expensive system, there emerges a need for
training devices and scenarios that will assist new learners in
mastering the use of the device and understanding how to apply it
with value. This has proven to be true in aviation, nuclear power
control, and medicine among other fields. Laparoscopic surgery
simulators have played a valuable role in improving the practice of
surgery over the last 20 years and the same trends and values will
likely apply in robotic surgery. The complexity, criticality, and
cost associated with the effective application of the da Vinci
surgical robot have stimulated the commercial creation of
simulators which replicate the operations of this robot. Each of
these simulators provides a slightly different perspective and
solution to the problem. This book explores the characteristics and
differences between all of the currently available devices. The
details provided here are structured to equip readers with
sufficient knowledge about the simulators to make their own
decisions about which best meets their needs. Each of them
possesses unique traits which make them valuable solutions for
different types of users. It is not our intent to make a universal
recommendation of one device over the others. Readers should draw
their own conclusions based on their unique needs for a device. The
three current simulation devices for the da Vinci robot are the: da
Vinci Skills Simulator (Intuitive Surgical Inc.), dV-Trainer (Mimic
Technologies Inc.) and Robotic Surgery Simulator (Simulated
Surgical Systems LLC). The three simulators which are described in
this book offer a different value proposition to potential
purchasers and to novice learners. The da Vinci Skills Simulator,
dV-Trainer, an RoSS are complex systems which are significantly
less costly than the actual da Vinci robotic surgical system and
can be operated at a fraction of the cost of the instruments
required for this robot. The intent of this book is to present the
characteristics of each system to enable intelligent and informed
purchasing and usage decisions.

"Personal investing decisions determine your entire financial
future. But most people spend more time analyzing a $10 dinner
decision than they do a $10,000 investment." Individual investors
dedicate too little time and effort to analyzing a stock before
purchasing it. They accept advice from a newspaper, magazine, or
television program and put thousands of dollars at risk without
learning anything about the company they are investing in. This
journal will lead you though a quick analysis of publicly available
information about any stock that is traded. In 10 to 20 minutes you
will know more about the stock and the company than 90% of the
people who are buying and selling in the marketplace. The Journal
is also a running history of your research and decisions on past
investment ideas. Over time you will build a graphic record of your
successful decisions and your big mistakes. The Personal Investment
Journal will help you separate good ideas from bad and will make
you a better investor. Contains 50 Stock Trackers from ProBookmark.

This book is filled with short words of advice from hundreds of
successful professionals in industry, government, and academia. It
emerged from one simple question posed to all of them. "Imagine
that you are about to give your business card to a young person
entering your profession. But first, you turn that card over and
write a short piece of advice to help them get started in their
career. What would you write on the back of your own business card
to help them?" The advice is from the people who will hire you and
for whom you will work. These experts are all very eager to share
their most valuable ideas with people entering their field. Each of
them remembers how clueless they were when they started in
business. This is their way of helping you get started with the
advice that they never received - but wished that they had.
Benjamin Franklin was a serial self-publisher of Poor Richard's
Almanac. Thomas Payne inflamed the American Revolution by
self-publishing Common Sense. Walt Whitman changed modern poetry
when he self-published Leaves of Grass. Richard Bolles taught the
world to get a job when he self-published What Color is Your
Parachute? Jack Canfield launched a huge series of bestsellers when
he self-published Chicken Soup for the Soul. All of these people
had a burning desire to share their message with the world - just
like you do. Each of them launched their manuscripts into print by
taking on the publishing job themselves. Now it is your turn to do
the same. Most people do not know how to begin the publishing
process. This "cookbook for books" will walk you through every step
of the process. Start today and have your own book in just two
months.
Stupid ... Lazy ... Ugly ... Afraid Everyone from world leaders to
your average neighbor wrestles with these four failures. We are
born stupid, but clever enough to learn. We are often lazy, but
ambitious enough to take action. We are ugly to the people around
us, but capable of incredible compassion. We are afraid of the
unknown, but equipped to be bold. This book looks directly into the
face of man's greatest failures and explains how you can change
these failures into strengths. It draws on proven lessons in
leadership, psychology, human relationships, and biology. Your
current behavior is the result of your past experiences, your
physical chemistry, and your mental attitude. You can change your
behavior just like you change your clothes. You only need the tools
to get started. Are you ready to turn your failures into strengths?
Smart ... Active ... Attractive ... Bold
The wisdom of world leaders, successful professionals, and
experienced parents has been distilled into short text messages
that can be sent to a teenager's cell phone and get his or her
attention long enough to read it.
Employees do become millionaires. They just have to save money and
invest it wisely. In Becoming the Millionaire Employee, we gave you
a life plan for becoming rich even though you plan to be a company
employee for your entire life. In this book we put a lot more
detail into the Investment step in that plan. The right investments
can move you toward a million dollars much faster than you can
imagine. The wrong investments will move you backward, destroying
all of the wealth you have worked so hard to save. This book will
introduce you to the world of investing from stashing it in a piggy
bank to trading stock options. The book is unique in speaking to
you as an employee who is working toward millionaire status. We
start by eliminating many of the beliefs that you have concerning
saving and investing. Then we will replace those with the effective
practices that millionaires use to build their own wealth. You have
to stop treating your money the way poor people do and start
treating it the way rich people do. It is time to start investing
like a millionaire.
In this text, Smith stuffs more than 100 morsels of valuable advice
on managing money, investing, getting an education, working
effectively, and setting one's mental attitude.
The United States Department of Defense has invested heavily in
computer simulations since World War II. As a result, simulations
and models exist to replicate or evaluate most combat systems and
combat scenarios. As these simulations evolved, major differences
in functionality and interfaces emerged which lead to distinct
Live, Virtual, and Constructive simulation products. In this book
we explore methods of interoperability between live, virtual, and
constructive simulations. This study was conducted in 1994 and
today provides a historic perspective on connecting diverse
simulations and the evolution of methods of interoperability.
"The world inside a simulator is as real as the world inside your
head - but it is more accurate." Simulation has been a powerful
tool for training the military for over 3000 years. What began as
sand tables and board games has evolved into advanced computer and
communication systems that encompass the globe and provide training
portals on every continent. Commercial computer games have followed
a similar evolutionary trajectory in delivering entertainment. The
core technologies behind both fields have many commonalities and
become more intertwined every year. This book is a collection of
essays on the technical, social, and economic importance of
simulation and gaming techniques, tools, and technologies. It
provides a fascinating historical summary, explores important
technical capabilities, and speculates on the role that these
technologies will play in the future.

"The traditional Halstedian apprenticeship model of 'see one, do
one, teach one' is no longer adequate to train surgeons, since good
laparoscopic skills cannot be developed by merely watching an
expert." - A. Pearson, M.D. This book proposes four hypotheses
concerning the impact and acceptance of computer game technologies,
virtual reality, and simulation in medical education. It focuses on
laparoscopic surgery because of the similarities between that form
of surgery and virtual reality systems. The evidence indicates that
the following four hypotheses are supported by the medical research
literature. Hypothesis 1: Surgical training can be accomplished at
a lower cost using virtual reality and game technology-based tools
than through existing methods of training. Hypothesis 2: Virtual
reality and game technology-based training environments provide
better access to representative patient symptoms and allow more
repetitive practice than existing forms of training. Hypothesis 3:
Virtual reality and game technology-based training environments can
reduce the training time required to achieve proficiency in
specific procedures. Hypothesis 4: Virtual reality and game
technology-based training can reduce the number of medical errors
caused by residents and surgeons learning to perform new
procedures. The strong evidence collected in this study indicates
that game-based systems are becoming much more accepted in medical
education and that the technical limitations that existed when
these devices were first introduced are being overcome. "There is
no excuse for the surgeon to learn on the patient." - William Mayo,
1927

Benjamin Franklin wrote one of the first books on how to run a
successful business, live an exemplary life, and build a personal
fortune in America. His Autobiography is the original self-help
book and has been in print for over 200 years. Franklin applied his
powerful mind to the creation of a successful business, securing
the independence of a new country, the development of strong
foreign relations, and distilling the principles of a successful
and prosperous life. This book reveals the key personal,
professional, and social principles that Franklin prescribed for
all Americans. These principles are mined from his Autobiography,
The Way to Wealth, Poor Richards's Almanac, and many other
writings.
