Malicious Bots

An Inside Look into the Cyber-Criminal Underground of the Internet

By: Ken Dunham,Jim Melnick

Originally designed as neutral entities, computerized bots are increasingly being used maliciously by online criminals in mass spamming events, fraud, extortion, identity theft, and software theft. Malicious Bots: An Inside Look into the Cyber-Criminal Underground of the Internet explores the rise of dangerous bots and exposes the nefarious methods of "botmasters". This valuable resource assists information security managers in understanding the scope, sophistication, and criminal uses of bots. With sufficient technical detail to empower IT professionals, this volume provides in-depth coverage of the top bot attacks against financial and government networks over the last several years. The book presents exclusive details of the operation of the notorious Thr34t Krew, one of the most malicious bot herder groups in recent history. Largely unidentified by anti-virus companies, their bots spread globally for months, launching massive distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks and warez (stolen software distributions). For the first time, this story is publicly revealed, showing how the botherders got arrested, along with details on other bots in the world today. Unique descriptions of the criminal marketplace - how criminals make money off of your computer - are also a focus of this exclusive book! With unprecedented detail, the book goes on to explain step-by-step how a hacker launches a botnet attack, providing specifics that only those entrenched in the cyber-crime investigation world could possibly offer. Authors Ken Dunham and Jim Melnick serve on the front line of critical cyber-attacks and countermeasures as experts in the deployment of geopolitical and technical bots. Their work involves advising upper-level government officials and executives who control some of the largest networks in the world. By examining the methods of Internet predators, information security managers will be better able to proactively protect their own networks from such attacks.

The Virus and the Vaccine

Contaminated Vaccine, Deadly Cancers, and Government Neglect

By: Debbie Bookchin,Jim Schumacher

Jonas Salk's polio vaccine has taken on an almost legendary quality as a medical miracle, for it largely eradicated one of the most feared diseases of the 20th century. But the story of the vaccine has a dark side, one that has never been fully told before... Between 1954 and 1963, close to 98 million Americans received polio vaccinations contaminated with a carcinogenic monkey virus, now known as SV40. A concerted government effort downplayed the incident, and it was generally accepted that although oncogenic to laboratory animals, SV40 was harmless to humans. But now SV40 in showing up in human cancers, and prominent researchers are demanding a serious public health response to this forgotten polio vaccine contaminant. A gripping medical detective story, The Virus and the Vaccine raises major questions about vaccine policy.

Feathers

By: Jim Feazell

An autobiography is a book about the life of a person, written by that person. Biographers generally rely on a wide variety of documents and viewpoints, an autobiography, however, may be based entirely on the writers memory. Closely associated with autobiography (and sometimes difficult to precisely distinguish from it) is the form of memoir. Memoirs are constructed from formal autobiographies which tend to encompass the writers entire life span, focusing on the development of his or her personality. The chronological scope of a memoir is determined by the works context and is therefore more focused and flexible than the traditional arc of birth to old age as found in an autobiography. Will Rogers put it a little more pithily. Memoirs means when you put down the good things you ought to have done and leave out the bad ones you did do.As you travel the pages of my life, I hope your trip to be as thrilling as when I lived it.

Jewish Giftedness and World Redemption

The Calling of Israel

By: Jim Melnik

The Jews constitute but 1% [now less than 1/2 %] of the human race....peoples [Egyptian, Babylonian, Persian, Greek and Roman] have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished. All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality?--Mark Twain, Concerning the Jews, Harper's Magazine, September, 1899.Fascinating, wide-ranging research, with careful and sober treatment of the relevant issues. Biblically-based conclusions are eye-opening. Highly recommended!--Michael L. Brown, Ph.D., author Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus, Volumes 1-5The most comprehensive research of the unique achievements of the Jewish people. The author comes up with the only reason that makes sense of this mystery.--Daniel C. Juster, Th.D., Restoration from Zion of Tikkun International An excellent book to challenge unjust hatred and envy. --Howard Bass, Messianic pastor in Israel

Foundations of Offender Rehabilitation

By: Sharon Casey,Andrew Day,Jim Vess,Tony Ward

The past three decades has seen dramatic changes in the way in which the criminal justice system responds to those who break the law. The old claim in the field of correctional psychology that "nothing works" has strongly been refuted in the face of evidence from rehabilitation programmes that do make a difference. The graduate student in forensic psychology could easily be overwhelmed by the plethora of information now available. This new textbook offers a comprehensive approach to forensic and correctional psychology, demonstrating how theory and practise can be applied and integrated. Written by intentionally recognized experts within the field, the authors guide the students through the core theories and concepts that underpin forensic practise within the legal systems of different countries (UK, USA, Canada, Australia and Singapore), show how this knowledge informs current thinking in offender rehabilitation and reintegration and provide a series of case studies looking at sexual offenders, female offender, juveniles and offenders with mental disorders. This book is the perfect overview for graduate students of forensic and correctional psychology engaged with offender rehabilitation and assessment and the psychology of law.

Mononuclear Phagocytes in Cell Biology provides a state-of-the-art review of the biological, biochemical, and molecular processes involved in macrophage activation. The book focuses on the role of macrophage "signals" in health and disease, which are discussed with particular attention to the physiological role of macrophages in homeostasis. The role played by macrophages in bone metabolism and the role of cytokines in diseases affecting the macrophage (e.g., HIV and leishmaniasis) are covered as well. The book also exploits the potential of macrophage "mimicry" as a therapeutic tool. Mononuclear Phagocytes in Cell Biology is a practical reference for cell biologists, medical microbiologists, molecular biologists, immunologists, hematologists, immunogeneticists, immunopharmacologists, and other basic and clinical researchers interested in macrophage development, biology, and differentiation.

Assessment in Applied Sport Psychology

Assessment in Applied Sport Psychology

By: Jim Taylor

Assessment in Applied Sport Psychology is a comprehensive resource that offers both students and professionals the opportunity to hone their skills to help their clients, starting with the initial consultation and lasting through a long-term relationship. In this text, Jim Taylor and a team of sport psychology experts help practitioners gain a deep understanding of assessment in order to build trusting relationships and effective intervention plans that address the needs and goals of their clients. Part I of Assessment in Applied Sport Psychology covers topics such as the importance of assessment, the appropriateness of qualitative and quantitative assessment, ethical issues that can arise from assessment, and the impact of diversity in the use of assessment. Part II introduces readers to six ways that consultants can assess athletes: mental health screening, personality tests, sport-specific objective measures, interviewing, observation, and applied psychophysiology. Chapters in this section explain the strengths and weaknesses of each approach—for example, when traditional pencil-and-paper and observation approaches may be more appropriate than interviewing—and offer consultants a more complete toolbox of assessments to use when working with athletes. Part III addresses special issues, such as career transition, talent identification, and sport injury and rehabilitation. One chapter is devoted to the hot-button issue of sport-related concussions. Tables at the end of most chapters in parts II and III contain invaluable information about each of the assessment tools described, including its purpose, publication details, and how to obtain it. Chapters also contain sidebars that provide sample scenarios, recommended approaches, and exercises to use with clients. Assessment in Applied Sport Psychology works toward two main goals. The first is to help consultants gain a complete understanding of their clients through the use of a broad range of assessment tools. The second is to show consultants how to ethically and effectively use assessments to develop a comprehensive understanding of their clients, thus enabling them to assist their clients in achieving their competitive and personal goals.

Bayesian Decision Analysis

Principles and Practice

By: Jim Q. Smith

Bayesian decision analysis supports principled decision making in complex domains. This textbook takes the reader from a formal analysis of simple decision problems to a careful analysis of the sometimes very complex and data rich structures confronted by practitioners. The book contains basic material on subjective probability theory and multi-attribute utility theory, event and decision trees, Bayesian networks, influence diagrams and causal Bayesian networks. The author demonstrates when and how the theory can be successfully applied to a given decision problem, how data can be sampled and expert judgements elicited to support this analysis, and when and how an effective Bayesian decision analysis can be implemented. Evolving from a third-year undergraduate course taught by the author over many years, all of the material in this book will be accessible to a student who has completed introductory courses in probability and mathematical statistics.

Service in the AI Era

Science, Logic, and Architecture Perspectives

By: Jim Spohrer,Paul P. Maglio,Stephen L. Vargo,Markus Warg

Are you prepared for the coming AI era? AI advances will profoundly change your daily service interactions, so this book provides readers with a necessary understanding of service, the application of resources (e.g., knowledge) for the benefit of another. In just minutes, you can learn about today’s use of early-stage AI for automation and augmentation, and essential elements of service science, service-dominant (S-D) logic, and Service Dominant Architecture (SDA). Ultimately improved service for all is possible with human-level AI and digital twins – but requires investing wisely in better models: Better models of the world both complex natural and social systems (science), better mental-models in people to improve interactions (logic), better cultural and structural models of organizations to improve change (architecture), and better trusted and responsible AI models. The service innovation community studies and builds better models to improve interactions and change in business and society. The book challenges all responsible actors – individuals, businesses, universities, and governments – to invest systematically and wisely to upskill with AI (the X+AI vision). The service innovation community is a growing transdiscipline harnessing all disciplines to become better T-shaped professionals. Extensive end notes, bibliography, and index are provided.

Pappa Neddy says her dad is the Lord God in Heaven, but that doesn’t help when the Mission kids call her a bastard. As Grace slowly pieces together clues that might lead to answers, she struggles to find a place in a community that rejects her for reasons she doesn’t understand.

Historicizing 9/11

By: Andor Skotnes,Jim O'Brien

As the tenth anniversary of the September 11 attacks approaches, the contributors to this issue of Radical History Review discuss the meanings of 9/11 and critically investigate the ties between memorializing and mythologizing. They probe the contested understandings of the attacks in political rhetoric, policy explanations, cinema, literature, visual arts, photography, public spaces, museums, archives, and education. One article examines the relationship of changing accounts of 9/11 to the shifting directions of US foreign policy; another, to the FBI's war on terror at home. In an interview, the historian Andrew Bacevich links 9/11 to "perpetual warfare" and a crisis of civilian control over the military. Other contributors analyze the changing meanings of the memorial to the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon in Arlington National Cemetery and explore the role of victims' families in struggles over memorialization at the World Trade Center site. Other articles address oral histories of 9/11, efforts to retrieve digital artifacts of the events, and attempts to teach these events critically in the classroom. Several pieces look at visual representations related to the attacks (including the film Cloverfield) and literary depictions by such authors as John Updike, Don DeLillo, and Dan Brown. Finally, the issue presents two series of original works of arts that subversively reflect 9/11: images from the Index of the Disappeared project and cartoons from Life during Wartime.
