Never Say Die

<p>No matter how many paradigms, buzzwords, and empty slogans the average business book reader may have picked up now that his cheese has been moved, the only way he can truly survive is to keep his sense of humor . . . not to mention finding a new piece of cheese. And no one knows this better than Tim McEachern and Chris O'Brien. Now, in this hilarious parody of every business tome that hasn't already been ""blown to bits"", these two founders and former co-hosts of the wonderfully wacky (and incredibly popular) ""Geek Nation"" radio show are going to tell readers everything they don't really need to know about thriving in the post-old economic environment. And have some fun while they're doing it. Filled with humorous footnotes, ""Scenes from the Future,"" and fake but hilarious interviews, <i>The New New Economy</i> tells readers how to institute a placebo payroll, exactly what a sigma is, and why everyone should have six of them. So get ready to hop on board the clue train. This is the "pick-up, read-through, drop-in-the-bathtub, give-to-a-friend, then-demand-it-back and threaten-to-sue' book of the new new millennium."

Mastering Numbers is a comprehensive coverage of techniques that enable a person of any age to solve numeracy problems without the use of a calculator. It addresses simplified strategies that enable a person to solve numeracy calculations for all four operations significantly faster than traditional methods. In exploring techniques to solve the single digit multiplication, Mastering Numbers does not rely on a ROTE learning approach but explains the basic patterns that underlie any single digit multiplication. Using the Vedic pattern of multiplication and the system of mental calculation devised by Professor Jakow Trachtenberg, it demonstrates with a step by step process the numerous shortcuts to solve 2 digit by 2 digit multiplications very very quickly. Mastering numbers also explores the 3 digit by 3 digit multiplications that with practice can be solved faster than using a calculator. Dividing any number by 2 digit or 3 digits uses the reverse process of Trachtenberg's multiplication system, where you only divide a number by the first digit of the divisor. Because a book by its very nature is a static learning device, there are both PowerPoints that explain each example in the book and self-correcting worksheets to help master the skills and concepts. These are available by contacting the author at the following email address christopher.obrien61@gmail.com Any one (even those who are young at heart) working through the skills of this book, will hopefully become more confident in their approach to Maths. By learning the patterns and techniques, that enable you to solve problems quickly, you may overcome any fear of Maths, enjoy the challenge of solving Maths problems and maybe discover a sense of empowerment that comes with “playing” with numbers.

In three days, Tim Bartleby and Emma Lawrence are getting married; and Tim is worried sick. And not like normal, butterflies in the stomach, pre-wedding nerves, no, Tim is absolutely overwhelmed. Why? Because Emma used to date his best friend, Brad Godfrey. Brad and Emma were together since middle school, broke up, got together, broke up again. Tim’s nagging worry is what if there’s another “got back together?” in their future. Especially now that Brad is running a successful start-up company and Tim, well, not so much. Tim’s fear is simple: if you put Brad’s best self against Tim’s best, whom would Emma choose? Tim’s worries and fears (he calls them the Bartleby Trolls) have become relentless in their attacks. The Bartleby Trolls seem determined to take this wedding down. And, with three days left to go, things are not looking good.
