The B U I L D Project

They say that a good book can change your life. That’s the mindset Bernard Ruffin took hold of when putting together The B.U.I.L.D. Project. So often people find themselves stranded and astray from the lives they hoped for or feel like they deserve, and once you’re lost to the world, it’s hard to find your way back to the position you want to be in. No one should face up against the hardships of the world alone, and you don’t have to. The B.U.I.L.D. Project is about providing you with a life plan template that will result in an overall positive change to your experience. Yes, the roots are based in Christianity, but this book is about so much more. Through the pages of The B.U.I.L.D. Project, you will learn the importance of family and personal health, while also tackling business and your financial life. Prayer is a necessary part of many of our lives, but with this piece of work, Bernard Ruffin and PRAYpare take a look at why it’s important to prepare and pray, not one or the other. The B.U.I.L.D Project is itself built upon 5 key bricks: B: Begin with Family. Making a positive change starts at home, and if we can’t even reconcile with those to whom we are bonded by blood then how can we ever expect to actualize our own goals and desires? U: Understand your Ministry. This is where we get in touch with our lord and savior and unpack our own relationship with him and the house in which he presides. It’s vital that we have a comprehensive understanding of how the church impacts our lives, and equally important to know how to balance it with every other moving part of being a human. I: Implement Better Health. Healthy body, healthy mind, healthy soul. These are three core building blocks for a happier, more fulfilling life, and unsurprisingly, they all inform one another. Ensuring that we feel our best physically, mentally, and spiritually is key to achieving real progress. L: Lead in Business. This is where you get down to brass tax to begin implementing the teachings in this text. With empathy and knowledge of self, you will be more capable than ever to tackle the dog-eat-dog world of business and finance. D: Develop a Better Financial Life. Life does not begin and end with money, but without it, there’s not much good we can do for the kingdom. Taking everything you’ve learned from the project so far and using it to secure a more stable future is the best way to set yourself up for success personally and as a contributor to others.

"Kids love to move. But how do we harness all that kinetic energy effectively for math learning? In Math on the Move, Malke Rosenfeld shows how pairing math concepts and whole body movement creates opportunities for students to make sense of math in entirely new ways. Malke shares her experience creating dynamic learning environments by: exploring the use of the body as a thinking tool, highlighting mathematical ideas that are usefully explored with a moving body, providing a range of entry points for learning to facilitate a moving math classroom. ..."--Publisher description.

Key concepts, sample applications, best practices, and troubleshooting tips to build highly scalable applications in AWS. Key Features Design highly available, cost efficient, fault tolerant, and scalable distributed systems A practical guide that will help you build, deploy, and manage applications with ease. Develop effective solutions with AWS SDK and Lambda Book Description Continuous deployment and Agile methodology have enabled huge advances in modern applications. This book will enable the reader to make use of this rapidly evolving technology to build highly scalable applications within AWS using different architectures. You will begin with installation of AWS SDK and you will get hands-on experience on creating an application using AWS Management Console and AWS Command Line Interface (CLI). Next you will be integrating Applications with AWS services such as DynamoDB, Amazon Kinesis, AWS Lambda, Amazon SQS and Amazon SWF Following this you will get well versed with CI/CD workflow and work with four major phases in Release processes – Source, Build, Test and Production. Next you will learn to apply AWS developer tools in your Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) WorkFlow. Later you will learn about User Authentication using Amazon Cognito and also how you can evaluate the best architecture as per your infrastructure costs. You will learn about Amazon EC2 service and deploy an app using Amazon EC2.You will also get well versed with container service which is Amazon EC2 Container Service (Amazon ECS) and you will learn to deploy an app using Amazon ECS. Along with EC2 and ECS, you will also deploying a practical real-world example of a CI/CD application with the Serverless Application Framework which is known as AWS Lambda. Finally you will learn how to build, develop and deploy the Application using AWS Developer tools like AWS CodeCommit, AWS CodeBuild, AWS CodeDeploy and AWS CodePipeline as per project needs. Also you can develop and deploy applications within minutes using AWS CodeStar from wizard. By the end of this book, the reader will effectively build, deploy, and manage applications on AWS along with scaling and securing applications with best practices and troubleshooting tips. What you will learn Learn how to get up and running with AWS Developer Tools. Integrate the four major phases in the Release Processes. Source, Build, Test and Production. Learn how to integrate Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, and Continuous Deployment in AWS. Make secure, scalable and fault tolerant applications. Understand different architectures and deploy complex architectures within minutes Who this book is for This book targets developers who would like to build and manage web and mobile applications and services on the AWS platform. If you are an architect you will be able to take a deep dive and use examples that can be readily applied to real world scenarios. Some prior programming experience is assumed along with familiarity of cloud computing.

Self-Build Homes connects the burgeoning interdisciplinary research on self-build with commentary from leading international figures in the self-build and wider housing sector. Through their focus on community, dwelling, home and identity, the chapters explore the various meanings of self-build housing, encouraging new directions for discussions about self-building and calling for the recognition of the social dimensions of this process, from consideration of the structures, policies and practices that shape it, through to the lived experience of individuals and households.Divided into four parts – Discourse, Rationale, Meaning; Values, Lifestyles, Imaginaries; Community and Identity; and Perspectives from Practice – the volume comes at a time of renewed focus from policy managers and practitioners, as well as prospective builders themselves, on self-build as a means for producing homes that are more stylised, affordable and appropriate for the specific needs of households. It responds to recent advances in housing and planning policy, while also bringing this into conversation with interdisciplinary perspectives from across the social sciences on housing, home and homemaking. In this way, the book seeks to update understandings of self-build and to account for housing as a distinctly social process.
