Security Management

A Critical Thinking Approach

By: Michael Land,Truett Ricks,Bobby Ricks

Security is a paradox. It is often viewed as intrusive, unwanted, a hassle, or something that limits personal, if not professional, freedoms. However, if we need security, we often feel as if we can never have enough. Security Management: A Critical Thinking Approach provides security professionals with the ability to critically examine their organ

Country Music's Greatest Lines

Lyrics, Stories & Sketches from American Classics

By: Bobby Braddock

“One of country music’s greatest songwriters has given us his own private tour of the collective genius of his profession.” —Malcolm Gladwell, bestselling author and host of the Revisionist History podcast Bobby Braddock, the only living songwriter to have written number-one country songs in five consecutive decades, celebrates standout lines in more than eighty country masterpieces. Unique stories give the reader a behind-the-scenes look at classics from Hank Williams, Bill Anderson, Roger Miller and Merle Haggard, as well as twenty-first-century icons like Alan Jackson, Taylor Swift and Eric Church. Artist Carmen Beecher brings these tales to vivid life with strikingly realistic illustrations of seldom-seen songwriters, easily recognizable superstars and unforgettable song characters. From late 1940s jukebox hits to present-day chart toppers, Braddock and Beecher offer a magical journey from the songwriter’s pen to the singer’s lips to the listener’s ear. “Country Music’s Greatest Lines works as an insider’s take on the business of country, and it also sent me to a dozen records I wanted to hear immediately. Braddock and Beecher evoke the mythology of country without sentimentalizing the music or its creators. It’s a remarkable achievement.” —Nashville Scene “We see how stand-alone powerful and effective a few well-crafted lines can be, even when removed from the context of the entire song.” —Sounds Like Nashville “Country songs, from Hank Williams till today, remain faithful to their tradition of reminding their listeners about the life they live. Braddock, a 60-year creator of songs, remembered that when he decided to write this book.” —American Songwriter

Public Health and the US Military

A History of the Army Medical Department, 1818-1917

By: Bobby A. Wintermute

Public Health and the US Military is a cultural history of the US Army Medical Department focusing on its accomplishments and organization coincident with the creation of modern public health in the Progressive Era. A period of tremendous social change, this time bore witness to the creation of an ideology of public health that influences public policy even today. The US Army Medical Department exerted tremendous influence on the methods adopted by the nation’s leading civilian public health figures and agencies at the turn of the twentieth century. Public Health and the US Military also examines the challenges faced by military physicians struggling to win recognition and legitimacy as expert peers by other Army officers and within the civilian sphere. Following the experience of typhoid fever outbreaks in the volunteer camps during the Spanish-American War, and the success of uniformed researchers and sanitarians in confronting yellow fever and hookworm disease in Cuba and Puerto Rico, the Medical Department’s influence and reputation grew in the decades before the First World War. Under the direction of sanitary-minded medical officers, the Army Medical Department instituted critical public health reforms at home and abroad, and developed a model of sanitary tactics for wartime mobilization that would face its most critical test in 1917. The first large conceptual overview of the role of the US Army Medical Department in American society during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this book details the culture and quest for legitimacy of an institution dedicated to promoting public health and scientific medicine.

Federal Income Taxation in Focus

By: Bobby L. Dexter

The purchase of this ebook edition does not entitle you to receive access to the Connected eBook with Study Center on CasebookConnect. You will need to purchase a new print book to get access to the full experience, including: lifetime access to the online ebook with highlight, annotation, and search capabilities; practice questions from your favorite study aids; an outline tool and other helpful resources. This Second Edition of Federal Income Taxation in Focus joins the celebrated CasebookConnect platform and continues the tradition of preparing students for both the rigors of sophisticated tax practice and the challenge of advanced study in federal tax law. Drafted with the initiate in mind, Federal Income Taxation in Focus employs careful organization, engaging visual enhancements, and student-friendly exposition to communicate both foundational concepts & rules and highly technical refinements. Given the practice-based pedagogy of the Focus Casebook series, this text exposes students to a wide range of IRS pronouncements, and facilitates immediate and frequent application of cases, statutes, and regulations to new fact scenarios. By requiring completion of select Federal Income Taxation in Practice exercises, professors can enrich their students’ learning experience and, as appropriate, assist those students who must satisfy practice-oriented writing requirements. Professors looking to further buttress practice readiness may rely on materials that address federal tax research, as well as those related to tax controversy and litigation (e.g., audits, assessment, protests, IRS appeals, IDRs, administrative summons, 30-day and 90-day letters, closing agreements, offers in compromise, and more). New to the Second Edition: Expanded discussion of the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit (with visually-depicted data from the Tax Policy Center) Several recent cases, including authorities addressing the insolvency exception and taxpayer “assets,” disability discrimination with collateral physical injury, “actual receipt” by taxpayers suffering with dementia, and #MeToo-related problems and concerns as they intersect with established tax law New exhibits from the Congressional Budget Office, Statista.Com, and the Tax Policy Center, all of which facilitate discussion of a wide range of topics (including critical tax theory) IRS pronouncements concerning the treatment of employer-provided cell phones as well as the treatment of business meals and entertainment under § 274 in the wake of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act Doctrinal regulars, including Kenan v. Commissioner, Wolder v. Commissioner, and a tightly-edited and readily-accessible version of Crane v. Commissioner (with follow-up discussion of the clarification provided by Commissioner v. Tufts) Both the 2020 IRS Form 1040 of President Joe Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden and the 2020 IRS Form 1040 (Schedule A) of Vice-President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff (highlighting the impact of the SALT deduction restriction) Several new comics to entertain and amuse both students and professors! Professors and students will benefit from: An exceptionally-clear writing style (consistently generating high praise from students at several law schools) Key Statutory and Regulatory Provisions in each chapter (providing highly-focused direction with respect to which Code subsections and Treasury Regulations students need to read) Rich visual content for a host of topics that not only facilitates mastery of complex Code-based rules, but also places the subject matter in context and engages student interest, including the evolution of marginal tax rates, deficit-reduction options, student loan debt, home ownership in general (and by race), charitable donations, health care crowdfunding, legalization of marijuana use, extraordinary divorce settlements, capital asset holdings by demographic, and more. A consciously modern, 21st century approach to rendering the classic tax casebook, including a refreshing infusion of authorities handed down after the year 2000 A carefully-organized and logical presentation of concepts that ensures that students have the necessary substantive foundation for understanding new material Cases, problems, and pronouncements that reflect the rich diversity of students, legal professionals, and taxpayers generally Teaching materials include: Teacher’s Manual (including detailed case briefs) Microsoft PowerPoint presentations

Lead in Soil

Recommended Guidelines

By: Bobby G. Wixson,Brian E. Davies

Until the publication of this new book there had been a lack of well-founded guidelines for evaluating concentrations of lead in soil and its relationship to human health. Thus, much confusion has existed among regulatory agencies, industries, public health officials, and the medical community about the evaluation and remedying of lead-contaminated soils. Lead in Soil: Recommended Guidelines represents the combined efforts of a multi-disciplinary international task force from the Society for Environmental Geochemistry and Health (SEGH) whose members are experts in the fields of lead pollution and toxicology. It provides an international consensus concerning environmental lead and blood lead-especially in children. The task force evaluated the evidence and made recommendations for guidelines to appraise lead concentration. It also studied the influence of soil and other sources of lead on blood lead concentrations. A model was prepared that allows the user to select appropriate target levels of blood lead while allowing for a variety of environmental situations or regulatory criteria.

My Manchester United Years

The autobiography of a footballing legend and hero

By: Bobby Charlton

For me, he is England's greatest ever player' Gary Lineker 'Sir Bobby was a hero to millions, not just in Manchester or the United Kingdom, but wherever football is played around the world' Manchester United FC Sir Bobby Charlton was Manchester United through and through. He was a member of the original Busby Babes and devoted his career to the club, playing in 754 games over 17 years. During that period he won everything the game had to offer, played alongside some of the greats such as Best and Law, suffered devastating defeats and was involved in one of the greatest football tragedies of all time. Here is his story of those United years in his own words. With his beloved Reds he tasted FA Cup victory in the emotional final of 1963, won three first division championships and in 1968 he reached the pinnacle of club success, winning the European Cup. Inevitably, such highs are balanced with no less dramatic lows, such as the 1957 European Cup semi-final, the highly charged 1958 FA Cup loss which followed only weeks after the horrors of the Munich Air disaster, and the 1969 European Cup defeat by Milan. He was one of the true gentlemen of football and the legacy that Sir Bobby Charlton gave to United is beyond compare. RIP Sir Bobby Charlton 1937-2023

Vaughn—Steps from the Past

By: Bobby J. Harlan,Donnie Vaughn

When starting a family history project, where do you begin? For me, the answer is simple: Genesis. Being a man, a man of science, I find that as I get older, science has proven more and more that the truth is very simple. In the opening statements of Genesis, God created the universe as we know it and also created the stars. How is such a thing possible? We are children of God. You know, children are like their creator, full of wonder. Wonder, why? Genesis states, In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void and darkness was over the face of the deep. As we learn more on just how we got here, along comes a brilliant young scientist named Stephen Hawking. He explains in mathematical ways how the universe started with a big bang, started from nothing, and burst forth faster than the speed of light. Stars formed and gathered together to form galaxies then matter collected to form planets to circle around the stars. There was eternal darkness, and then there were the stars and light. As time passed, God planted the seeds of life. What is time? As we read the Bible, we were always in conflict with time. How do we feel comfortable with the evolution of life and the time frame of the Bible? Here, again, I find the answer is simple. Time, to us, is something we made up to understand what goes on around us; God is on his own time. I like to use baking an apple pie as my example of time and what it takes. Heres the question I ask, how long does it take to bake an apple pie? The answer I get is about an hour. I reply with Oh, you can? So here is my response to the one-hour apple pie: Where did the apple come from? How long did the apples take to grow? Where did that variety of apple come from? How long did it take for the seed to grow into a tree? How did you get the apple? At a store? How did the store get there? How did the refrigeration and transportation come to be? What about the cinnamon and sugar you used, where did it come from? (Cinnamon comes from Indiadried tree bark.) What about the tin used to make the pan used to bake the pie? When was electricity harnessed to be used by man, the modern stove?

Bobby Jones Golf Tips

By: Bobby Jones

In the 1920s, Bobby Jones ruled golf as no athlete has ruled any sport since. His 1923 run of 13 championships in 20 events entered is unequaled, as is his winning at the 1930 U.S. Amateur, U.S. Open, British Amateur, and British Open -- which marked the first and only time these four prestigious tournaments have been conquered by one golfer in the same year. Written at the height of his prowess during the 1920s, when Bobby Jones was a golf columnist for the Bell Syndicate, these timeless tips and championship-proven strategies can make any player a better golfer. Bobby's practical, hands-on instruction about both the fundamentals of play and advanced techniques makes this book equally valuable to golfers of all handicaps. Watch strokes melt from your score as you put the secrets of the master to work for you. Book jacket.

The Other Side of the Hoop

The European Basketball Experience

By: Bobby Kinzer

Praise for The Other Side of the Hoop: The European Basketball Experience In talking about Basketball, it's on the same level as show business. There comes a time when we must move on and learn to do other things. I have been in it for 60 years. I learned years ago there are other things to do. So, in saying all of this, don't be one thing. Be many things and have another path to walk. Life is ever-learning. – Dr. Otis Williams of the Temptations "The Other Side of the Hoop" is one of the few books about the European Professional Basketball experience. The stories shared in this book are not just for basketball enthusiasts; the rich lessons learned apply to all audiences. The book takes you on a journey through the highs and lows of stardom, fortune, and temptation. Through basketball championships and defeats, Bobby Kinzer reveals the journey's end at which he arrives, which will surprise you. – James Brown, CBS Hall of Fame Sports Broadcaster Bob (Big BOB) Kinzer. We first met at the Boys & Girls Club on 9th & P streets in Washington, D.C. I believe you were home in between seasons from Europe. I've heard many stories of guys that went overseas to play professionally. But my curiosity has grown over the years as I've tried to imagine all the complexities that come with that experience. When I think of my experience transitioning into the NBA, it seems the challenge of making the adjustment going overseas may be even more difficult. This book will help players better understand the European Professional Basketball Experience should they decide to take the journey. It will also serve as a guide for non-basketball people to learn how to cope with life's everyday challenges. Of course, if you’ve learned the art of assimilation, it becomes a wonderful opportunity to meet new people, see the world, and experience a new culture. Much Success with The Other Side of the Hoop! – Phil Chenier, Former National Basketball Association Player/Champion, Washington Bullets

Never Too Late

A Prosecutor's Story of Justice in the Medgar Evars Case

By: Bobby Delaughter

In June 12, 1963, Mississippi's fast-rising NAACP leader Medgar Evers was gunned down by a white supremacist named Byron De La Beckwith. Beckwith escaped conviction twice at the hands of all-white Southern juries, and his crime went unpunished for more than three decades. Now, from Bobby DeLaughter, one of the most celebrated prosecutors in modern American law, comes the blistering account of his remarkable crusade in 1994 finally to bring the assassin of Medgar Evers to justice. This is the fascinating, real-life story of the assistant district attorney -- played by Alec Baldwin in Rob Reiner's Ghosts of Mississippi -- who brought closure to one of the darkest chapters of the civil rights movement. When the district attorney's office in Jackson, Mississippi, decided to reopen the case, the obstacles in its way were overwhelming: missing court records; transcripts that were more than thirty years old; original evidence that had been lost; new testimony that had to be taken regarding long-ago events; and the perception throughout the state that a reprosecution was a futile endeavor. But step by painstaking step, DeLaughter and his team overcame the obstacles and built their case. With taut prose that reads like a great detective thriller, Never Too Late is a page-turner of the very highest order. It charts the course of a country lawyer who, concerned about the collective soul of his community and the nature of American justice in general, dared to revisit a thirty-one-year-old case -- one so incendiary that everyone warned him not to touch it -- and win a long-overdue conviction. DeLaughter's success in this trial stands today as a landmark in the annals of criminal prosecution, and this bracing first-person account brings the saga to life as never before.

Motivation for Learning and Performance

By: Bobby Hoffman

Designed for educators, researchers, practitioners, or anyone interested in maximizing human potential, Motivation for Learning and Performance outlines 50 key motivation principles based on the latest scientific evidence from the disciplines of psychology, education, business, athletics, and neurology. Using a highly applied and conversational style, the book is designed to inform the reader about how to diagnosis, analyze, and mediate learning and performance challenges influenced by motivation. The book features chapters on the biopsychology of motivation, how motivation changes across the lifespan, and the important influence of culture on motivated behavior. Three chapters are devoted to practical strategies and the implementation of motivational change. Special sections are included on enhancing motivation at work, in the classroom, in competitive environments, and during online education. Hoffman employs the innovative approach of using his interviews with "real" people including many notable personalities across diverse cultures and disciplines to illustrate motivated behavior. For example, readers will learn what motivated the colossal investment fraud masterminded by Bernie Madoff, the intimate thoughts of former NFL superstar Nick Lowery when he missed a field goal, and the joys and tribulations of Emmy-nominated "Curb your Enthusiasm" actress Cheryl Hines. The book provides a practical, applied, and multi-disciplinary resource for anyone interested in motivation and performance, but especially for university students at the graduate or undergraduate level studying education, psychology, business, leadership, hospitality, sports management, or military science. Additionally, the writing style and eclectic nature of the text will appeal to readers of non-fiction who can use the book to gain self-awareness to enhance performance of themselves or others. - Considers motivation for both learning and performance - Identifies 50 foundational principles relating to motivation - Provides research evidence supporting the foundational principles - Includes interviews from famous individuals, identifying what motivated them and why - Includes research from psychology, education, neuroscience, business, and sports

Down in Orburndale

A Songwriter's Youth in Old Florida

By: Bobby Braddock

Bobby Braddock, one of the most successful country songwriters of all time, is a living legend. His smash hit He Stopped Loving Her Today won the Country Music Association's Song of the Year Award in two consecutive years and was voted Song of the Century in a poll conducted by Radio & Records magazine and greatest country song of all time in a poll conducted by the BBC. In this captivating narrative, Braddock demonstrates that he is as much at home writing the story of his life as crafting an award-winning country tune. Warm, candid, intimate, and laugh-out-loud funny, Down in OrburndaleOCothe title plays on the Southern pronunciation of Braddock's hometown of Auburndale, FloridaOCorecounts his colorful saga up to age twenty-four, when he decides to move to Nashville and pursue a career as a professional songwriter. Braddock retains enormous affection for his Florida upbringing, back in the mid-twentieth century when Florida was still Southern, oranges were more essential than tourists to the state's economy, and every small town seemed to be populated with actual eccentric characters right out of a Southern novelOColike Bobby's father, twenty-four years older than his mother, with a voice that was a cross between Foghorn Leghorn and W. C. Fields. Braddock's sensory memory of his childhood infuses his storytelling with the sights, sounds, smells, and significance of everyday living. When he tells tales of playing rock 'n' roll music in the Deep South of the early 1960s, readers experience some of the decade's most significant moments from a different perspective (for example, his band was in Birmingham, Alabama, when the Ku Klux Klan murdered four little girls). Along the way, he battles depression, hypochondria, and panic disorder, marries, and finally finds his true calling. Rednecks, religion, Florida, oranges, swamps, politics, racism, love, sex, illness, family, murder, and dreamsOCoall fill the pages of Braddock's compulsively readable ode to his youth. But it is music, above all else, that drives the story, providing a soundtrack for a life lived large.

Electrical Engineering for Non-Electrical Engineers, Second Edition

By: S. Bobby Rauf

This book is designed to serve as a resource for exploring and understanding basic electrical engineering concepts, principles, analytical and mathematical strategies that will aid the reader in progressing their electrical engineering knowledge to intermediate or advanced levels. The study of electrical engineering concepts, principles and analysis techniques is made relatively easy for the reader by inclusion of most of the reference data, in form of excerpts from different parts of the book, within the discussion of each case study, exercise and self-assessment problem solution. This is done in an effort to facilitate quick study and comprehension of the material without repetitive search for reference data in other parts of the book. To this new edition the author has introduced a new chapter on batteries where the basic, yet important, facets of the battery and its sustainable and safe operation is covered. The reader will be shown the not-so-obvious charging and discharging performance characteristics of batteries that can be determining factors in the selection, application and optimal performance of batteries.

Finance and Accounting for Energy Engineers

& Engineers in All Disciplines

By: S. Bobby Rauf

The purpose of this second edition is to provide an overview of important principles in the fields of finance and accounting, and the application of those principles for financial analysis of energy and non-energy capital investments. This book is written as a self-study guide for energy and non-energy engineers and managers who either lack formal training in the subjects of finance, accounting, and engineering economics, or simply need a means to refresh their knowledge in these subjects. This book bridges the gap between the typical business school "MBA" knowledge and its application in enery and non-engergy engineering, project management or manufacturing management. Many energy and non-energy engineers and technical managers feel inadequately equipped to comprehend and apply certain important finance and accounting principles. Understanding of finance and accounting principles is important in interfacing and conducting business with accountants, financial analysts, and members of upper management. This book is designed to familiarize energy engineers and other engineering professionals - in a relatively simple and easy to understand fashion - with decision making skills founded on financial calculations and case study based quantitative analysis.

Introduction to Satellite Ground Segment Systems Engineering

Introduction to Satellite Ground Segment Systems Engineering

Principles and Operational Aspects

By: Bobby Nejad

The ground segment is the fundamental backbone of every satellite project, yet it is usually not visible to the public or the end user of a satellite service. Also the bulk of existing published space literature tends to focus on the satellite or its subsystems. This book tries to fill this gap and addresses systems engineering concepts applied to the design, development, qualification, and deployment of the ground control segment required to operate a single satellite, a constellation, or even a manned space vehicle. The domain of ground segment engineering has significantly evolved in recent years, mainly driven by major advances in the IT sector. Hardware virtualisation or the availability of on-demand cloud computing services are typical examples of new technologies that have changed fundamental architectural concepts previously standard in heritage ground segments. Furthermore, the stark increase of cyber attacks - today a major risk to almost all critical IT based infrastructure - has made a cyber threat resilient architecture to become one of the indispensable design requirements for ground segment engineers. The new mega constellations recently put into space deploying up to several hundred of flying objects have put very demanding needs on the ground segment for automated satellite operations. These topics and more are addressed in the book’s chapters, along with a detailed explanation of the most relevant components of a typical ground segment architecture. The basic functional requirements, design features, and the most important ground and space segment interfaces are addressed and explained in detail, supported by a wealth of figures for easier understanding. This book is kept at an introductory level, allowing newcomers to get familiar with this fairly complex subject matter. It is therefore suitable for graduate students, but can equally serve as a valuable source of information for already experienced space engineers who seek to gain a deeper understanding of the ground segment infrastructure and related systems engineering processes. It can also help project managers to better interact with their systems engineers, satellite developers to define their ground segment interfaces, and satellite operators to improve their flight and ground procedures. It is very well suited for everyone intending to start a career in satellite ground segment systems engineering.

Who Am I ?

By: Bobby Taylor

Who am I? I am Bobby Earl Taylor, and I am adopted into the family of Christ (Ephesians 1:4aEUR"6). I am so thankful for God's truth and his promises to bring good from the storms of devastation in our lives. No one wishes for hard times in life, no one asks for suffering or storms, no one longs to wade through deep rivers of hurt, rejection, and pain or try to find your way out of the darkness of confusion and doubt. If we live long enough, we know this to be true. It's all a part of life. Even though our storms might look different in life, they all offer the opportunity to change us forever. God can take what seems tragic and devastating to turn it around for good aEURoeWho comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God? For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through ChristaEUR (2 Cor. 1:4aEUR"5).
