TTCS is an abriviation of the Testing and Test Control Notation.
I study TTCN as an example of standardized test method.
Network protocols are very conplexed. So it should be tested carefully.
TTCN-3 is good example of standardized test notation.

Walt Brown has done it again---a witty and masterful book about JFK and the assassination. This book is, dare I say it, FUN---it will test your knowledge on all things JFK and Dealey Plaza. Get it.
P.S. I am on one page, "Secret Service Expert" ;-)

BEST JFK SECRET SERVICE BOOK: SURVIVOR'S GUILT BY YOURS TRULY :)

I very much enjoyed reading this book. I found the long and storied history of one of the worlds greatest car companiesto be an engrossing and delightful read. From the graceful XKSS to the XK120, the C-Type racer to the E-type coupe, the incredible D-Type, the Mark II sedans, this book tells the stories of what I believe to be the greastest cars in the world.

This book gives you information from insiders who know subtle distinctions that may be overlooked. Great printing job--very readable for tired eyes

In the Jewish tradition, the weekly Torah reading is a shared text that encourages discussion about ethical issues. Here, Professor Tamari engages us in short weekly discussions (about five to six pages each) inspired by that week's reading and the classical commentators who have, for centuries, interpreted and taught. Tamari cuts straight to the main themes that can often be overlooked, but which represent many of the most pertinent lessons for our time. He is less concerned with plot than with the power of the bible's strongest images and the characters of the bible's most striking individuals. The bible is often mistaken for a palliative for the poor, the weak, the suffering. Here Tamari's commentary brings out the lessons for the strong and successful so that they complement material success with moral excellence.

FANTASTIC! Every philosophy student needs to have this book; anyone that doesn't understand about "identities" must read this book; it is a must in every bookshelf!

THANK YOU!!

There are many books on Juneteenth, but none so informative and accessible for both kids and adults as this one. Learn why the Emancipation Proclamation did not free any slaves and other things not often taught in school. Great book for anyone interested in United States history. Very colorful.

The book's title comes from sportswriter Red Smith, whose take on the writer's life is this:" There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at the typewriter and just open a vein."
These 37 essays are written by writers, for writers. They touch on the common problems facing those who have the audacity, chutzpah, desire and determination to enter this most daunting profession.
While I own a variety of books on writing (and this was published in 1987)this one stands out, and I return to it often. It's there when I need a creative push, an encouraging word, a swift kick in the rear, or a gentle reminder that there is light at the end of that long, dark tunnel.
Irving Wallace, one of America's finest writer's, advises aspiring writers, "Use your imagination daily. Writing is not only an art but also a profession. While inspiration is an enormous factor, the writing of a book is a profession. You have to prepare for this profession by practicing it- write diaries, journals, letters, fragments- and by studying the works of authors you admire, to learn how they create characters, insert conflict, move a story. and then you have to write not just when the spirit moves you, but every day."
Julia Wekkin, in an essay titled "My Genetic Disorder" examines the origins of her need to write. Reflecting on her childhood, she notes, "In spite of a busy life and buzzing household, my mother wrote. Without the luxury of private work space,a word processor, or blocks of uninterrupted time, she published."
Wekkin credits Thorton Wilder, Ray Bradbury and Robert Heinlein, for their influence on her early on. She offers Heinlein's five-point checklist for writing success: Write, finish what you write, do not re-write except to editorial order, put it on the market, keep it on the market until sold."
This book is rich in wisdom, diverse in perspectives, with humorous insights into the joys and frustrations of the writing life. The acknowlegements page "honors all writers who take the risk of revealing themselves on paper, and who discover themselves in the process."
With this collection of essays, when read in earnest, you're bound to be richer in spirit, and closer to your goal of becoming a productive, successful writer. A real treasure for anyone interesting in writing.

I bought this for a friend and it came in great condition and great photos!! A Christmas gift not forgotten.
