MOST Work Measurement Systems, 3rd. Edition.......2007-07-22

I was red the book about the type of method is the MOST and what I need to do to improve the actual activities of the work.
I think that the MOST is good method to improve the mesasurement of the work becausae explain of which it consists, and It had exemples to improve the explanation.

MOST EASY METHOD.......2000-02-24

Having been an Industrial Engineer and Management Consultant for many years I am allways sceptical when a "new" tecnique is launched. It was in this frame of mind that I approached MOST. What a revelation, not new as such as it is based on the original tried and trusted MTM system, however it is a fresh approach, and a welcome one at that! Here is a system which is statisticaly accurate, quick to apply,and easy to understand. More importantly it encourages method development and improvement. As a recommendation I would encourage everyone in this field of operation to read this book and consider its application. I did and have just completed the approved training and certification course.

Book Description

In Walking in Space: Development of Space Walking Techniques, David Shayler provides a comprehensive overview and analysis of EVA techniques, available for the first time in a readable form - other than NASA publications. The author draws on original documentation, personal interviews of astronauts with experience of EVAs, and accounts by those involved in suit design, EVA planning and operations. Moving on from the pioneering of EVA techniques during the Gemini programme, the author describes the basic requirements in terms of the equipment that every spacewalker needs, the development of training techniques - currently all completed on Earth - the surface explorations of the Moon by the Apollo astronauts and the numerous activities performed by Shuttle astronauts and those aboard the Salyut and Mir Space Stations, such as satellite servicing, equipment upgrading and repair missions. He also describes the development of techniques for ensuring crew safety during EVAs and looks ahead to future EVAs from the International Space Station and the development of new technology, including robotic assistance.

Book Description

This manual introduces advanced chemistry students to a variety of techniques which are used in research, including the most useful instrumental analysis (NMR, capillary GC, and GC-MS). Experiments illustrate the power of modern instrumentation, particularly capillary GC and NMR. Interesting experiments require students to perform "detective work" and in the "Exploring Further" sections, students are encouraged to explore optional ideas for more in-depth and independent studies.

Book Description

Sheridan's husband wanted to stop living a lie, but how was she going to live her life knowing the truth?

"There's no other way to say this. I'm in love with someone else." With these words, Sheridan Hart's life as she knows it comes to a crashing halt. She thought she was living every woman's dream: for the past seventeen years of marriage, Quentin had been a model husband, father, and business partner. But for all those years, he'd been hiding a secret from her. In fact, he had kept his secret from everyone. His startling confession is a lifelong attraction to men, and he is leaving her to be with his lover.

While coming to grips with the destruction of her marriage, Sheridan must also deal with the emotional reactions of her sixteen-year-old son and ten-year-old daughter. When word gets out about Quentin, everybody has something to say -- her family, her friends, and her church community all have advice to give and judgment to dole out. But at the end of the day, Sheridan must lean on her faith and her heart to decide what's best for her family.

COMING TOGETHER............2007-08-17

Victoria you never cease to amaze me; you're an amazing author who keeps your readers very satisfied and coming back for more!!

Meet four different women walking different paths of life:

Kendall: Has to make a difficult decision...one that could either save a life or destroy the only family she knows.

Sheridan: We all remember her from, GFB; remember the wife who found out her husband was gay? Well anyway, she has moved on to a younger man but why does it feel as though she still has unresolved feelings for her ex-husband?

Vanessa: Her husband leaves her by committing suicide and even though she tries to hold on but the pain is just too much to bare; will she be able to fight the temptation of following in his lead?

Asia: The youngest of the four. How do you let go of a married man, especially one whom you share a child and you love? What extremes are you willing to go through to get him back?

As these women come together they realize they share more than what they think. Sit back and get ready for some action. Remember you never know whom you're sitting next too.

Eye Opener.......2007-06-12

I really enjoyed reading this book because it elaborated on what the characters go through when their marriage comes to an end. I was impressed with the main character's strength, because she definitely went through an eye opening experience.

Her Husband is Gay.......2007-05-21

This author's strong storytelling skills make this novel a complete gem. The plot centers around a woman whose husband leaves her for a man.

Down low brother.......2007-05-19

It took me a while to read this book, however; the story line was good. Not my typical grasp me on the first page kind of book. The Hart's were married for seventeen long years before Mr. Hart told his wife Sheridan, that he's been fighting the gay spirit. I do like how VCM kept God first through out the chaos. Sheridan had to deal with her father's cancer, her husband's gay tendencies and her sixteen year old son's news on having sex and about to have Deja's(his eighteen year old girlfriend), baby. My favorite book by VCM, is still TEMPTATION.

Better .......2007-05-10

This book was a little more entertaining than the last book I read by Victoria, but still still predictable and unrealistic.

Book Description

This is the timely story of the rise and fall General Augusto Pinochet of Chile. Using interviews and intimate sketches, Roger Burbach unravels Pinochet's historty--from the violent military coup that brought him to power to his ouster in 1990 and eventual arrest in 1998. Burbach reveals the sociopathic, paranoid and authoritarian tendencies that led the dictator to murder thousands of people in the country while authorizing acts of international terrorism.

Gripping Tale of Tyrant's Downfall and Human Rights Triumph.......2004-12-23

On a scale from 1 to 5 Roger Burbach's, The Pinochet Affair rates a six. It is the dramatic story of the downfall of the detested former dictator of Chile, of the many unsung heroes who brought it about, and of the significance of the entire affair to the global human rights movement. Augusto Pinochet, who seized power in a bloody 1973 coup d'état, dissolved Congress, outlawed political parties and the largest labor union in the country, censored the press, banned the movie "Fiddler on the Roof" as Marxist propaganda, publicly burned books ("on a scale seldom seen since the heyday of Hitler," according to the New York Times), expelled students and professors from universities, designated military officers as university rectors and arrested, tortured and killed thousands who opposed his regime. Then in a remarkable series of twists and turns the ex tyrant went from feared strongman to decrepit prisoner. Nowhere has this tale been told so well as in Burbach's book with its rich anecdotal material, compelling characterizations, and meaningful historical insights. Indeed, his book should be put on the must read list of everyone interested in the human rights movement, globalization, Latin America, Chile, or the Pinochet Affair itself.

The Best Aviation Book I've Ever Read.......2003-08-14

I found Maurice's book a few years ago. Contemplating a career change, I was searching for information on cropdusting and at this time he had the entire book free online. After reading a chapter called "Sitting in the Seat" I was hooked and after reading a little more I decided that cropdusting wasn't for me. I'm not much of a reviewer or a writer... All I can say is that the book is great. It's probably not going to win any literary awards but it's a beautiful thing all the same. It's got some great pilots stories. It flows from beginning to end. It's funny. It's heart breaking. Parts of it are nothing short of brilliant. The author really comes through as a down to earth, humble, decent guy. You can't help but love him. His writing pulls you in and you never want it to end. How many books have done that for you? I've read a bunch of flying books and this is the best.

Indiana Magazine of History Review.......1998-09-03

"This book . . . is both important and fascinating. Indeed, the author provides a case study of the Progressive movement in the United States and gives a balanced portrayal of an individual who -- while achieving neither fame nor elective office -- left a remarkable legacy of public service. At the same time, Ray E. Boomhower has revealed in yet another way the connection between culture and politics in the United States."

William B. Pickett, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology professor of history

Wow!!!.......2007-07-22

I am a bit late catching up on my readings. But amazings stories are timeless. I am inspired by David Moore's incredible love and compassion that he took the time to learn about the kids, whose stories would have vanished forever but now they can be read from generations to generations--especially the descendants of the boys and anyone in similar situation. This book is, in a way, Mr. Moore's story...how an incredible person would just take interest in someone (someone that seems to be out of place like fish out of water) and love them in a way that it would change their life (for the good) forever. I wonder how many folds over the love and understanding that the author shown to the "boys" had multiplied through the boys' lives?

quite good.......1999-05-20

Perhaps someday white male eurocentric assumptions will be sufficiently combatted so that we may learn about the incredible suffering of People of Color during the U.S.'s conflicts. I certainly hope so. This is an interesting book, marred only by the emphasis on males, when there are obviously many important voices that need to be heard from the Hmong.

A moving collection of true life stories told by youth........1998-09-01

Moore does a wonderful job of writing the stories told to him by the young Hmong refugees, as they fled from Laos at the end of The Vietnam War. The book is written in an easy to read style, yet tugs at your emotions. I have recommended the book for reading at numerous conferences and diversity presentations for anybody wanting to start trying to understand the Hmong. I have also suggested it to some of the Hmong teens born in the US, so they can have an understanding of their parent's sacrifices. Many people are unaware that The Hmong lost 1/3 of their race to help us. Maybe reading this book will help kindle compassion for such loyal allies!
