Beginning Joomla

Beginning Joomla 

By: Dan Rahmel 

I’m more excited about Joomla than any other web product I’ve seen in years. Joomla exploded onto the web scene in 2005 and drastically simplified web design, development deployment, and maintenance. It’s also done its fair share to beautify the web world. By using Joomla, you can instantly banish ugly, poorly structured interfaces from your web sites even the default installation shown in Figure 1-1 shows how pleasing a Joomla web site can look. Adding content or updating the design of your entire web site is a snap . . . and that’s just for openers! This book will guide you through nearly every aspect of the Joomla system, from basic deployment to writing your own extensions. By the time you’ve reached the last page, you’ll be able to make Joomla do almost anything that a manually designed web site can do and in a fraction of the time.  [download]

Comprehensive Stress Management

Comprehensive Stress Management

By: Jerrold S. Greenberg

It was a pleasant spring day about seventy degrees, with the sun shining and a slight breeze. It was the kind of day I would have enjoyed celebrating by playing tennis, jogging, and helping my son learn how to ride his bicycle (an aggravating but necessary task). Instead, I was on the shoulder of a country road in upstate New Yorkwith my hands on my knees, vomiting. The story of how I wound up on such a glorious day in such an inglorious position serves as an important lesson. At the time, I was an assistant professor, imposing my know-it-all attitude upon unsuspecting and innocent college students at the State University of New York at Buffalo. I had become quite successful in each of the three areas the university established as criteria for promotion and tenure: teaching, research and other publications, and university and community service.

Chinesische Fusionskontrolle

Chinesische Fusionskontrolle 

By: Markus Maselli

Seit Ende der 1970er Jahre hält sich die sonst von weißen Katzen bevölkerte Volksrepublik China in zunehmendem Umfang schwarze Katzen und heißt auch schwarze Katzen aus der Ferne willkommen. Diese fangen seither mit großem Erfolg Mäuse in China und man bekommt den Eindruck, dass die schwarzen Katzen bereits in der Mehrheit sind. Seit 2008 jedoch gibt es in China einige neue Wachhunde, die unter den heimischen und fremden, schwarzen und weißen Katzen in China für Ordnung sorgen sollen. Vor allem einer dieser Wachhunde hat bereits über die Grenzen Chinas hinaus für Aufsehen gesorgt. Die fremden schwarzen Katzen haben nämlich schon seine Zähne zu spüren bekommen. Sie haben keinen Zweifel daran, dass sie Rücksicht auf diesen Wachhund nehmen müssen, wenn sie weiter in China Mäuse fangen wollen. [download]

Baby Facts

Baby Facts 

By: Andrew Adesman, MD. 

I’m a parent, like you. I ’ m also a pediatrician. My young patients are cared for by mothers, fathers, and other loving caregivers who are deeply invested in the physical and emotional well being of their babies and young children and who like you, and like me try hard to make the best decisions when it comes to the health and safety of their sons and daughters. We are luckier than previous generations of parents because we have such a vast wealth of. specifi c parenting information at our fi ngertips: books and magazines, Web sites and Internet chat rooms, community groups, experts galore, and the hard earned wisdom of those parents, grandparents, and friends who were parents before we took the plunge. But after twenty  four years of practicing pediatrics, and seventeen years of helping my wife raise our three children. [download]
