Principles of Anatomy & Physiology 13th Edition

Dear fellow Book Club,

I'm looking for this textbook:

Title: Principal of Anatomy & Physiology 13th Edition
Author: Tortora, Gerard J. & Derrickson, Bryan H.

but with a fair price.

From Kinokuniya website, price for this book (ISBN No: 9780470929186; paperback) is RM1.4k.

From eBay, price for this book (ISBN: 9780470565100) is 50% less than Kinokuniya. But most of the sellers won't sell/ship this book to Malaysia even though some of them are based in Malaysia/Singapore.

I read that International Edition book is much cheaper than US edition and is meant to sell outside US. That's why I don't get it why this book is so hard to find here and the price is expensive.

So, I would like to ask for your help. If you know where to find this book in local bookstore here with a cheaper price, let me know. Thanks.

Hi,

Can someone help me to fix this problem?

Laptop: Old HP laptop, Windows XP SP2

Recently, my laptop hdd light keep blinking after like 2-3 hours on. And when that happens, I still can use my laptop but if I move the cursor, it move a little bit then freeze then move again. same beat with the blinking light.

I googled every keyword I can think about. There's article about disk thrashing and how to check what process do a lot of IO read and write.

Windows Task Manager> View > Select Column > Tick IO read & IO write

This is when I can see lsass.exe IO read and write is high and it keep increasing every second.

Anyone have suggestion what should I do?

Hi, I'm self-taught beginner in programming and I have no idea to calculate this problem in C++.

Let's say, I want to calculate total cost of internet data usage.

User insert input (in MB) = 100.

and the taarif is:-

First 20MB = RM0.05
21MB-30MB = RM0.10
More than 30MB = RM0.50

How can I write the algorithm to calculate total cost?
