10 Don'ts on Your Digital Devices

The Non-Techie's Survival Guide to Cyber Security and Privacy

By: Eric Rzeszut,Daniel Bachrach

In nontechnical language and engaging style, 10 Don’ts on Your Digital Devices explains to non-techie users of PCs and handheld devices exactly what to do and what not to do to protect their digital data from security and privacy threats at home, at work, and on the road. These include chronic threats such as malware and phishing attacks and emerging threats that exploit cloud‐based storage and mobile apps. It’s a wonderful thing to be able to use any of your cloud-synced assortment of desktop, portable, mobile, and wearable computing devices to work from home, shop at work, pay in a store, do your banking from a coffee shop, submit your tax returns from the airport, or post your selfies from the Oscars. But with this new world of connectivity and convenience comes a host of new perils for the lazy, the greedy, the unwary, and the ignorant. The 10 Don’ts can’t do much for the lazy and the greedy, but they can save the unwary and the ignorant a world of trouble. 10 Don’ts employs personal anecdotes and major news stories to illustrate what can—and all too often does—happen when users are careless with their devices and data. Each chapter describes a common type of blunder (one of the 10 Don’ts), reveals how it opens a particular port of entry to predatory incursions and privacy invasions, and details all the unpleasant consequences that may come from doing a Don’t. The chapter then shows you how to diagnose and fix the resulting problems, how to undo or mitigate their costs, and how to protect against repetitions with specific software defenses and behavioral changes. Through ten vignettes told in accessible language and illustrated with helpful screenshots, 10 Don’ts teaches non-technical readers ten key lessons for protecting your digital security and privacy with the same care you reflexively give to your physical security and privacy, so that you don’t get phished, give up your password, get lost in the cloud, look for a free lunch, do secure things from insecure places, let the snoops in, be careless when going mobile, use dinosaurs, or forget the physical—in short, so that you don’t trust anyone over…anything. Non-techie readers are not unsophisticated readers. They spend much of their waking lives on their devices and are bombarded with and alarmed by news stories of unimaginably huge data breaches, unimaginably sophisticated "advanced persistent threat" activities by criminal organizations and hostile nation-states, and unimaginably intrusive clandestine mass electronic surveillance and data mining sweeps by corporations, data brokers, and the various intelligence and law enforcement arms of our own governments. The authors lift the veil on these shadowy realms, show how the little guy is affected, and what individuals can do to shield themselves from big predators and snoops.

Behind The Steele Dossier

Under Oath Answers: FBI * CIA * DOJ * Simpson * Steele

By: Daniel David Elles

Behind The Steele Dossier puts every reader in the center of the action – from the Steele Dossier’s planning and press contacts to congressional under oath answers and the courtroom. Readers will know what said between Fusion GPS Founder Simpson and former MI-6 Spy Christopher Steele. · Why they prepared the dossier? · Who did they contact – FBI, CIA, DOJ, Media, Sources – and when? · Where did they get their information? Behind The Steel Dossier also reveals: what was said between the FBI-DOJ-CIA on this dossier produced by a “Russian Expert” who left Russia over 25 years ago. No Bias. No Bull: This book intentionally does not contain articles from the media or quotes from Cable-TV. Instead, it contains under oath statements provided by the only persons – Steele, Simpson, and government officials (CIA*FBI*DOJ) – who knew the answers to America’s questions. No anonymous sources. No politically biased remarks – from either Party. Behind The Steele Dossier focuses on the Senate Examination of Glenn Simpson – Fusion GPS founder – who hired Steele to research Trump. · Reading the Steele Dossier is easy. But, to develop a deeper understanding, it’s essential to get the reasons it was written. The world needs to understand the motivations, the objectives, the intentions, etc. And that is provided by the under oath answers in this book. · By focusing on this Senate Exam – conducted by attorneys; not politicians – this incredible read concentrates on a fact-based examination by credible counsel from the Senate. These unbiased solicitors provided the world with a non-partisan document: clear and concise with a well-planned outline and excellent timeline. In reading over 3,000 pages of congressional testimony, articles from every angle, letters/memos from politicians; Behind The Steele Dossier cuts through the political bias by publishing facts. Such as these Simpson hearing quotes that we never heard: · It’s sort of like when you’re a journalist…you don’t really decide who’s telling the truth · We were encouraging the media to ask questions about whether the FBI… · I knew it was the DNC that we were working for · I was asked to provide some information to the Justice Department · The Orthodox Church is also an arm of the Russian State · Putin essentially took over the Russian Jewish Community and Leadership · There was a lot of Jewish immigration…and a lot of those people…became very successful and wealthy. · They (FBI) had other intelligence about this matter from an internal Trump campaign source The Russians were interested in making friends with Republicans. · In British intelligence the methodology's a little different from American intelligence. There's a practice of being faithful to what people are saying NOW…it’s time for America to decide AND for the world to see: What’s real news? What’s fake news? Thanks and God Bless America!

Clangers

The Complete Scripts 1969-1974

By: Oliver Postgate,Daniel Postgate

The Clangers memorably spoke in a language played on swannee whistles. No one expected them to have scripts. But they did. Within an ancient barn nestled in the heart of the Kent countryside, Smallfilms founders Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin created one of the most beloved BBC children’s series of the twentieth century: Clangers. Clangers: The Complete Scripts 1969–1974 is the ultimate compendium of scripts from the original two series of the show in one lavishly illustrated volume. These previously unseen scripts sit alongside original writing from Daniel Postgate – son of the original creator Oliver Postgate – exploring the inspiration for and lasting cultural impact of the show, new and historical photographs, Peter’s original illustrations, Oliver’s handwritten musical notations and more. The joyful revelation that the Clangers’ often colourful words were scripted in English brings an exciting new dimension to the Smallfilms legacy.

The Steele Dossier

What the Mainstream Media Won't Tell Us...

By: Daniel David Elles

TRUMP’S TEAM USING MOLES WITHIN THE DNC That’s a quote from the actual Steele Dossier that is in this book, but has not hit the mainstream media. Is it true? Who’s the mole? Who’s the FBI insider in the Trump Campaign? Was Steele credible? Simpson says that he was opposed to Trump, but does he think there was collusion with the Russians? What about Bruce and Nellie Ohr? Author Daniel David Elles was on the 2010 ballot for Michigan House of Representatives as an Independent in Macomb County, Michigan – Home of the Reagan Democrats. He states: Perhaps we are “fly-over country”, but we make up a significant voting percentage of our Great Nation. In February, he wrote about Simpson specifically stating that the FBI had an internal human source in the Trump Campaign. Three months later it hit the news networks. What facts are the mainstream media failing to tell us? FINALLY! NO BIAS. NO BULL. We don’t need to read about anonymous sources in a paper’s propagandists print. We don’t need to watch hundreds of hours of Congressional testimony. We don’t need to listen to biased broadcast beaming into our homes and uttering unconfirmed nonsense. With questions from Congress – Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-CA) and many more – YOU will get the facts straight from the source: · Fusion GPS Founder & CEO Glenn Simpson · CIA Director Brennan · FBI Director Comey · DOJ Associate Deputy AG Bruce Ohr · FBI Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strzok · Former MI6 Crown Servant Christopher Steele (U.K. court records) WHO KNEW WHAT AND WHEN? The Steele Dossier purposely does not publish news articles from The Right or The Left. Instead, it incorporates high ranking officials’ under oath testimony to Congress and Declarations contained in official court documents in America and “Across the Pond”. From Steele’s sworn Statement of Truth in the Queen’s High Bench Division to the conclusions made in Simpson’s testimonies before the House and the Senate, YOU will be in the center of the action. How’s that? Because Simpson’s final hour of his Senate Examination is included in full. No edits. Moreover, this untelevised examination was conducted by attorneys for Senator Grassley (R-IA) and Senator Feinstein (D-CA)...NOT POLITICIANS! In reading over 3,000 pages of congressional testimony, articles from every angle, letters/memos from politicians; The Steele Dossier cuts through the political bias by publishing facts. For example, below are some Simpson quotes that we never heard: · It’s sort of like when you’re a journalist…you don’t really decide who’s telling the truth · The Orthodox Church is also an arm of the Russian State · We were encouraging the media to ask questions about whether the FBI… · I knew it was the DNC that we were working for · I was asked to provide some information to the Justice Department · Putin essentially took over the Russian Jewish Community and Leadership · The Russians were interested in making friends with Republicans. · There was a lot of Jewish immigration…and a lot of those people…became very successful and wealthy · In British intelligence the methodology's a little different from American intelligence. There's a practice of being faithful to what people are saying NOW…it’s time for America to decide AND for the world to see: What’s real news? What’s fake news? Thanks and God Bless America!

Building a Scalable Data Warehouse with Data Vault 2.0

By: Daniel Linstedt,Michael Olschimke

The Data Vault was invented by Dan Linstedt at the U.S. Department of Defense, and the standard has been successfully applied to data warehousing projects at organizations of different sizes, from small to large-size corporations. Due to its simplified design, which is adapted from nature, the Data Vault 2.0 standard helps prevent typical data warehousing failures. "Building a Scalable Data Warehouse" covers everything one needs to know to create a scalable data warehouse end to end, including a presentation of the Data Vault modeling technique, which provides the foundations to create a technical data warehouse layer. The book discusses how to build the data warehouse incrementally using the agile Data Vault 2.0 methodology. In addition, readers will learn how to create the input layer (the stage layer) and the presentation layer (data mart) of the Data Vault 2.0 architecture including implementation best practices. Drawing upon years of practical experience and using numerous examples and an easy to understand framework, Dan Linstedt and Michael Olschimke discuss: - How to load each layer using SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), including automation of the Data Vault loading processes. - Important data warehouse technologies and practices. - Data Quality Services (DQS) and Master Data Services (MDS) in the context of the Data Vault architecture. - Provides a complete introduction to data warehousing, applications, and the business context so readers can get-up and running fast - Explains theoretical concepts and provides hands-on instruction on how to build and implement a data warehouse - Demystifies data vault modeling with beginning, intermediate, and advanced techniques - Discusses the advantages of the data vault approach over other techniques, also including the latest updates to Data Vault 2.0 and multiple improvements to Data Vault 1.0

The Song of the Orphans

The Silvers Book Two

By: Daniel Price

The thrilling second novel in the category-defying Silvers trilogy—melding X-Men and the novels of Blake Crouch—about six extraordinary people who become unwitting refugees on an unfamiliar Earth, and their epic quest to find out why. The end of the world was just the beginning for Hannah and Amanda Given. Saved from apocalypse by three mysterious beings, the sisters, along with four other refugees from their world, were each marked with a silver bracelet and transported to an entirely different Earth: a place where restaurants move through the air like flying saucers and the fabric of time is manipulated by common household appliances, as well as by their very own hands—and a place where terrifying new adversaries seem to be around every corner. Now, after six months in this alt-America and a tumultuous cross-country journey that landed them in New York City, the Silvers find themselves in more trouble than ever. Their new world is dying, and a clan of powerful time benders believes that killing them is the only way to stop it. To make matters worse, the U.S. government has sent its most ruthless covert spy agency to track and capture them. But the biggest threat of all comes from the three god-like beings who first saved them. They had a reason for bringing the Givens and their friends to this world. And when the Silvers learn the awful truth, nothing will ever be the same.

Right Belief and True Belief

By: Daniel J. Singer

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Right Belief and True Belief

By: Daniel J. Singer

The most important questions in life are questions about what we should do and what we should believe. The first kind of question has received considerable attention by normative ethicists, who search for a complete systematic account of right action. This book is about the second kind of question. Right Belief and True Belief starts by defining a new field of inquiry named 'normative epistemology' that mirrors normative ethics in searching for a systematic account of right belief. The book then lays out and defends a deeply truth-centric account of right belief called `truth-loving epistemic consequentialism.' Truth-loving epistemic consequentialists say that what we should believe (and what credences we should have) can be understood in terms of what conduces to us having the most accurate beliefs (credences). The view straight-forwardly vindicates the popular intuition that epistemic norms are about getting true beliefs and avoiding false beliefs, and it coheres well with how scientists, engineers, and statisticians think about what we should believe. Many epistemologists have rejected similar views in response to several persuasive objections, most famously including trade-off and counting-blades-of-grass objections. Right Belief and True Belief shows how a simple truth-based consequentialist account of epistemic norms can avoid these objections and argues that truth-loving epistemic consequentialism can undergird a general truth-centric approach to many questions in epistemology.

Poisoned Mind

By: Daniel Borough

A terrorist bomb explodes on the London Underground with devastating effect. Nobody is more surprised than Sanjit, the man duped into carrying it by Jaminda, an older man from his mosque. Sanjit finds himself trapped with Nick, an undercover policeman on the lookout for terrorists (after a mysterious tip-off), and Mike an unhappy accountant with his marriage on his mind. While Sanjit comes to terms with what has happened and they all try to escape their underground prison, they are unwittingly becoming embroiled in a sinister plot. As Sanjit disappears to seek revenge and prevent Jaminda from repeating his deadly deceit, Nick and Mike realise they are in a race against time to stop their young friend from doing something he will regret. Unknown to them, their troubles are only just beginning. Poisoned Mind is a fast moving thriller full of tension and suspense which gives great consideration to the protagonists’ thoughts, feelings and motives. As the story unfolds, the reader will discover that, as in (real) life, things are not as black and white as they first seemed.

th!s

By: Daniel Shortell

Humanity has fractured resulting in the emergence of the constitutionally protected Homo beatus species, a Superclass of humans defined by their extreme wealth and nearly infinite level of scientifically-proven motivation. When society begins to crumble under the weight of social inequality, absurdity becomes the norm as citizens scramble to find meaning and happiness in a world gone mad. Seven people from across the social strata give a personal account of how to persevere in the worst of times. One's wife moonlights as a prostitute to afford her mounting religious debts, a politician achieves immortality through a pedophilia addiction and a impoverished orphan finds peace and contentment in nihilism. Narrated from seven meticulously interconnected perspectives, th!s aims to overshoot in its attempt to find reason in a perfectly irrational world. Only through an exploration of philosophy, science, technology, economics and religion can readers understand how citizens cope inside an inverted totalitarian society.

Mathematical Geoenergy

Discovery, Depletion, and Renewal

By: Paul Pukite,Dennis Coyne,Daniel Challou

A rigorous mathematical problem-solving framework for analyzing the Earth’s energy resources GeoEnergy encompasses the range of energy technologies and sources that interact with the geological subsurface. Fossil fuel availability studies have historically lacked concise modeling, tending instead toward heuristics and overly-complex processes. Mathematical GeoEnergy: Oil Discovery, Depletion and Renewal details leading-edge research based on a mathematically-oriented approach to geoenergy analysis. Volume highlights include: Applies a formal mathematical framework to oil discovery, depletion, and analysis Employs first-order applied physics modeling, decreasing computational resource requirements Illustrates model interpolation and extrapolation to fill out missing or indeterminate data Covers both stochastic and deterministic mathematical processes for historical analysis and prediction Emphasizes the importance of up-to-date data, accessed through the companion website Demonstrates the advantages of mathematical modeling over conventional heuristic and empirical approaches Accurately analyzes the past and predicts the future of geoenergy depletion and renewal using models derived from observed production data Intuitive mathematical models and readily available algorithms make Mathematical GeoEnergy: Oil Discovery, Depletion and Renewal an insightful and invaluable resource for scientists and engineers using robust statistical and analytical tools applicable to oil discovery, reservoir sizing, dispersion, production models, reserve growth, and more.

Living with Snakes

Stories

By: Daniel Curley

In Daniel Curley's stories, passionate rage and cool, clear hatred alter the terms of even the most basic human relationships, etching odd patterns on the surface of the natural world—a man applies the methods of Mata-Hari to the task of keeping track of his ex-wife; the victim of a pickpocket plots psychological revenge on the criminal population of a Mexico City bus line; a spurned lover summons all his strength and courage to liberate a roomful of snakes held captive by his rival. For the most part, the figures in the landscape of these stories are men and women performing the rituals that lead to and away from marriage. In "The First Baseman," a man in the process of getting a divorce falls in love with a player on a woman's softball team, but their conversation never goes far beyond the subject of her batting average. In "Trinity," an estranged couple brought together again by the death of their daughter finds that they cannot recreate either their love or their child. And in "Wild Geese," a man's dream about his childhood, when flocks of geese patterned the sky, is interrupted and finally shot-through by fevered images of a tedious dinner party. Nature exists as a refuge in these stories, but it is a refuge mostly to be found in the shadow of the fear of death; in the recesses of memory; beyond the bars that isolate zoo animals from an unruly world. Demonically honest and sometimes violently funny, Living with Snakes tells of a world where love is at best a touch-and-go sort of thing, where sometimes men and women are bound together not so much by affection as by mutual loss, mutual pain.

The Messenger

By: Daniel Silva

On the trail of a deadly al-Qaeda operative, Gabriel Allon returns in a spellbinding story of deception, power, and revenge by the #1 New York Times bestselling "world-class practitioner of spy fiction" (Washington Post). Gabriel Allon—art restorer and spy—is about to face the greatest challenge of his life. An al-Qaeda suspect is killed in London, and photographs are found on his computer—photographs that lead Israeli intelligence to suspect that al-Qaeda is planning one of its most audacious attacks ever, aimed straight at the heart of the Vatican. Allon and his colleagues soon find themselves in a deadly duel of wits against one of the most dangerous men in the world—a hunt that will take them across Europe to the Caribbean and back. But for them, there may not be enough of anything: enough time, enough facts, enough luck. All Allon can do is set his trap—and hope that he is not the one caught in it.
