  Messy code is a nuisance. "Tidying" code, to make it more readable, requires breaking it up into manageable sections. In this practical guide, author Kent Beck, creator of Extreme Programming and pioneer of software patterns, suggests when and where you might apply tidyings to improve your code while keeping the overall structure of the system in mind. 
   
   
   
  Instead of trying to master tidying all at once, this book lets you try out a few examples that make sense for your problem. If you have a big function containing many lines of code, you'll learn how to logically divide it into smaller chunks. Along the way, you'll learn the theory behind software design: coupling, cohesion, discounted cash flows, and optionality. This book helps you: 
   
   
   
  ● Understand the basic theory of how software design works and the forces that act on it 
   
   
   
  ● Explore the difference between changes to a system's behavior and changes to its structure 
   
   
   
  ● Improve your programming experience by sometimes tidying first and sometimes tidying after 
   
   
   
  ● Learn how to make large changes in small, safe steps 
   
   
   
  ● Approach software design as an exercise in human relationships

  A Field Guide to the...

  Justin Hocking

  Justin Hocking grew up in a part of Colorado where so many things happened beneath the surface—mining exploits, underground nuclear testing just thirty miles from his family's home, and geothermal activity that heats one of the world's largest hot spring pools. His homelife, too, was plagued by hidden patterns of abuse and virulent masculinity. A Field Guide to the Subterranean charts the author's lifelong process of unearthing the past and reclaiming his own identity and connection to the natural world. 
   
   
   
  How might we transform our traumas into deeper care for one another and the landscapes that sustain us? How do we transcend the mythos of the rugged American male so rooted in extraction and exploitation? And how far can we move beyond the self in a memoir? Hocking explores these and other vital questions by combining personal introspection with expansive narratives that examine geology, ecology, gender theory, mining history, labor rights, and even skateboarding. 
   
    
   
  Abundant with historical research and teeming with birdlife—and ranging in location from remote caves and mountains to secluded surf breaks in Costa Rica—A Field Guide to the Subterranean heralds a boldly original and kaleidoscopic approach to the genres of memoir and nature writing.

  Control irritable bowel syndrome...

  Who is this hypnosis for:If you have been diagnosed with the Irritable Bowel Syndrome and:- medication has not worked for you or- you want to avoid medication and find a more natural way to deal with the IBS symptoms... this hypnosis will be useful.It will help you soothe your symptoms (stomach cramps, bloating, diarrhoea, constipation) and, if used regularly, it will support your healing.How it works:As you probably know, there is no physical cause for the IBS symptoms, our intestines simply stop functioning harmoniously. Medication is hardly helpful, as it will usually address the effects of this disturbance but not its cause.Because of this, the diagnosis is never pleasant. Living with the ailment can be quite a challenge (disturbing our work, relationships, free time). Yet, here is a piece of good news:While all our body parts are responsive to hypnosis, our digestive tract is much more so. It has been discovered that there is a deep connection between our brain and our digestive tract. The latter even contains about 100 million nerve cells and some call it our "abdominal brain".This means that it is entirely possible for our intestines, when given the right suggestions under trance, to calm down. With its intelligence and sensitivity, our digestive tract picks up the positive message and slowly shifts back into normal functioning, while the unpleasant symptoms ameliorate or disappear completely.This 29 min hypnosis is designed for this.My recommendation: try if for 3 days (once a day, at a time convenient for you). If you feel it is working for you, continue with it on a daily basis – this way, you will consolidate the results and support your healing.Disclaimer:The products sold here do not replace medical or psychological therapy. Please take your time when listening to the audio downloads and stop doing anything else that might distract you, e.g., don't use them while working or driving a car.ENJOY!Yours Dr. Nidal MoughrabiLife-Coach, MDHypnotherapy, NLP and Meditation Training

  A Country of Two Agricultures

  Nearly three decades after the dawn of democracy, South Africa has remained a country of 'two agricultures'. On the one hand we have a subsistence, primarily non-commercial, black farming segment. On the other hand, however, we have a predominantly commercial and white farming sector that is well-resourced and has access to domestic and international trade networks.
  These disparities can be traced back to South Africa's painful history where, for decades, black farmers were on the margins of government support and also experienced land dispossession and livestock plunder.
  A Country of Two Agricultures focuses less on history and more on the present and the future, explaining why these disparities have persisted in the democratic era, and what it will take to overcome them. It aims to contribute to a better understanding of the variety of agricultural forces, taking into account both questions of domestic political economy and external factors, as well as to bring to light new risks and opportunities.
  Wandile Sihlobo offers insights into the role of agriculture in the South African economy from an agricultural economy perspective, and provides political economy insights that are rooted in the experiences of farming communities on the ground and right through the value chain.
  Beyond insights on the realities this book offers the government, the private sector, and anyone interested in the betterment of the South African economy, tools to grapple with this duality, and proposes a framework for bolstering the black farming segment for growth and competitiveness – and ultimately food security.
  Wandile Sihlobo is the Chief Economist of the Agricultural Business Chamber of South Africa (Agbiz) and the author of Finding Common Ground: Land, Equity and Agriculture.

  This book takes you on an unforgettable journey across the vast stretches of space and time. In From Big Bang to Black Holes, the story begins with the birth of the universe, tracing its rapid expansion from the singularity at the beginning of time. From the primordial fireball to the formation of galaxies, stars, and planets, this section delves into the powerful forces and events that set the stage for everything we know today. 
  From Light to Darkness explores the cosmic dance of light and shadow as stars ignite and eventually collapse into black holes. We examine the interplay between the visible universe, powered by light, and the mysterious dark regions governed by gravity. This section looks at how light travels across vast expanses and what happens when light is trapped forever within the gravitational pull of black holes. 
  Finally, Into the Abyss takes us into the most enigmatic realms of space—black holes themselves. What lies beyond the event horizon? Is it an end or a doorway to something else entirely? This section explores the science behind black holes, their role in the fabric of spacetime, and the possibility of life beyond the abyss, with mind-bending theories of quantum mechanics and cosmic destiny.
