Love and War in the WRNS Unwin Vicky

Sheila Mills's story is a unique perspective of the Second World War. She is a clever, middle-class Norfolk girl with a yen for adventure and joins the WRNS in 1940 to escape the shackles of secretarial work in London, her unhappy childhood and her social-climbing mother.

Software Defined Networks: Architecture and Applications Nayyar Anand

SOFTWARE DEFINED NETWORKSSoftware defined networking suggests an alternative worldview, one that comes with a new software stack to which this book is organized, with the goal of presenting a top-to-bottom tour of SDN without leaving any significant gaps that the reader might suspect can only be filled with magic or proprietary code.Software defined networking (SDN) is an architecture designed to make a network more flexible and easier to manage. SDN has been widely adopted across data centers, WANs, and access networks and serves as a foundational element of a comprehensive intent-based networking (IBN) architecture. Although SDN has so far been limited to automated provisioning and configuration, IBN now adds "translation" and "assurance" so that the complete network cycle can be automated, continuously aligning the network to business needs.In 14 chapters,

The Midrange Theory: Basketball's Evolution in the Age of Analytics Partnow Seth

At its core, the goal of any basketball team is relatively simple: take and make good shots while preventing the opponent from doing the same. But what is a "good" shot? Are all good shots created equally? And how might one identify players who are more or less likely to make and prevent those shots in the first place?The concept of basketball "analytics," for lack of a better term, has been lauded, derided, and misunderstood. The incorporation of more data into NBA decision-making has been credited--or blamed--for everything from the death of the traditional center to the proliferation of three-point shooting to the alleged abandonment of the area of the court known as the midrange. What is beyond doubt is that understanding its methods has never been more important to watching and appreciating the NBA.In The Midrange Theory, Seth Partnow, NBA analyst for The

Na hraně

V lese nad vesnicí Gévaugnac je nalezena mladá dívka, upálená během noci na hranici. Kapitánka Julie Frayssová z policejní stanice v Toulouse dostane rozkaz okamžitě ukončit právě započatou dovolenou, převzít vyšetřování a postup konzultovat s Novakem Marrekem, bývalým kapitánem, který podobné případy se stejným modem operandi před dvěma lety vyšetřoval. Tenkrát mladé dívky vraždil záhadný Spalovač – sériový vrah, který Marrekovi jen o vlásek unikl a dodnes mu nedá spát.Novak býval skvělým detektivem. Je inteligentní, kultivovaný, přemýšlivý. Problém je, že ho posedlost nevyřešenými vraždami dohnala až do psychiatrické léčebny. Od svého selhání totiž trpí bludnými obsedantními představami a jeho mozek občas vytváří falešné jistoty, jež nedokáže odlišit od reality.V přesvědčení, že se Spalovač vrátil, se Novak stane konzultantem policie a pouští se spolu s Julií do vyšetřování. Odlišit realitu od bludů ale nebude tak snadné, jak by se mohlo zdát.

Its Not Necessarily Myth Perry Joseph

Many people in the last century, and even today, have argued about the possibility of aliens coming to Earth with science and technology more advanced than our own. Usually, they base their proof on things like unusual phenomena and strange archaeological findings.However, in this book, Dr Perry argues that the proof of aliens is actually hidden in world mythology. He believes that certain clues about the super modern world are hidden in myths and we have to decode them. For example, he takes the myths of Prometheus, Iris, Sisyphus, Apollo and others and interprets them as machines, devices and different kinds of weapons.The purpose of this book is to decipher these clues and thus prove that intelligent extra-terrestrial beings visited the Earth thousands of years ago. The additional purpose of publishing this book is to cause individuals, more intelligent and professional, to
