Expedited Planning and Environmental Review of Highway Projects

By: Institute for Natural Resources, Oregon State University,Venner Consulting,Parametrix, Inc.

This report from the second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2), which is administered by the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies, identifies strategies that have been successfully used to expedite the planning and environmental review of transportation projects within the context of existing laws and regulations. It discusses 16 common constraints on project delivery and 24 strategies for addressing or avoiding them. While the strategies are associated with planning and environmental review, many are also applicable to design and construction.

Pro Hadoop

By: Jason Venner

You've heard the hype about Hadoop: it runs petabyte–scale data mining tasks insanely fast, it runs gigantic tasks on clouds for absurdly cheap, it's been heavily committed to by tech giants like IBM, Yahoo!, and the Apache Project, and it's completely open-source (thus free). But what exactly is it, and more importantly, how do you even get a Hadoop cluster up and running? From Apress, the name you've come to trust for hands–on technical knowledge, Pro Hadoop brings you up to speed on Hadoop. You learn the ins and outs of MapReduce; how to structure a cluster, design, and implement the Hadoop file system; and how to build your first cloud–computing tasks using Hadoop. Learn how to let Hadoop take care of distributing and parallelizing your software—you just focus on the code, Hadoop takes care of the rest. Best of all, you'll learn from a tech professional who's been in the Hadoop scene since day one. Written from the perspective of a principal engineer with down–in–the–trenches knowledge of what to do wrong with Hadoop, you learn how to avoid the common, expensive first errors that everyone makes with creating their own Hadoop system or inheriting someone else's. Skip the novice stage and the expensive, hard–to–fix mistakes...go straight to seasoned pro on the hottest cloud–computing framework with Pro Hadoop. Your productivity will blow your managers away.

Where Are You This Time?

Making a Difference in Places from Kabul to Kyiv, Kosovo to Kazakhstan and Kismayo to Qatar

By: Mary Venner

Mary Venner gave up a secure job and travelled to the other side of the world to work in foreign aid. Her work took her to places that are now daily headline news, including Ukraine, Afghanistan and Somalia. Where Are You This Time? provides a first-hand account of what life is like in these countries. With a wry sense of humour it describes the strange working conditions, the challenges of economic development, and the lively social life of expats living in places that tourists avoid. ‘…an important read for anyone hoping to work in development consulting or better understand it.’—Gordon Peake, DevPolicyBlog

Control of Invasive Species

A Synthesis of Highway Practice

By: Marie Venner,National Cooperative Highway Research Program

TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 363: Control of Invasive Species explores the extent to which state departments of transportation are identifying actions that affect the spread of invasive species, preventing introduction, tracking status and locations of "invasives" in a timely and ongoing manner, controlling found populations, restoring invaded habitats, conducting research, and sharing lessons learned. The report documents successful practices and lessons learned. It also synthesizes the state of the practice in developing Integrated (Roadside) Vegetation Management, along with physical, chemical, biological, and cultural control mechanisms.

The 30th North Carolina Infantry in the Civil War

A History and Roster

By: William Thomas Venner

At the outbreak of the Civil War, the men of the 30th North Carolina rushed to join the regiment, proclaiming, "we will whip the Yankees, or give them a right to a small part of our soil--say 2 feet by 6 feet." Once the Tar Heels experienced combat, their attitudes changed. One rifleman recorded: "We came to a Yankee field hospital ... we moved piles of arms, feet, hands." By 1865, the unit's survivors reflected on their experiences, wondering "when and if I return home--will I be able to fit in?" Drawing on letters, journals, memoirs and personnel records, this history follows the civilian-soldiers from their mustering-in to the war's final moments at Appomattox. The 30th North Carolina had the distinction of firing at Abraham Lincoln on July 12, 1864, as the president stood upon the ramparts of Ft. Stevens outside Washington, D.C., and firing the last regimental volley before the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia.

Clash of Wills

By: Martin Venner

The United States' 48th President elected in 2028, was a certain Jeremiah Abrahams, and the moment he had his feet behind that famous desk in the Oval Office than he was thrown in at the deep end. The reason being in early 2029 he and all other world leaders had to attend a vitally important UN Economic Summit in Tokyo, where Abrahams would come face-to-face with his Nemesis, the Devil worshipping British Foreign Secretary Dale Semble. From then on this President had to grapple with what effect this particular Foreign Secretary and his capabilities would have on the international political order! Instead of entirely relying on his Administration and security services, Abrahams had to increasingly turn to the Church. But ultimately Jeremiah had to rely on a very major person from history and the Christian faith. And together they had to counter the awesome threat which came from this Devil worshipping Foreign Secretary.

The 7th Tennessee Infantry in the Civil War

A History and Roster

By: William Thomas Venner

This book follows the 7th Tennessee Infantry Regiment from their May 1861 mustering-in to the war's final moments at Appomattox in April 1865. It is an intensely personal account based upon the Tennesseans' letters, journals, memoirs, official reports, personnel records and family histories. It is a powerful account of courage and sacrifice. The men (a full roster is included) changed from exhilarated volunteers to battle-hardened veterans. They had eagerly rushed to join up, "anxious to confront the enemy on the battle front." Later, amid the grim realities, the Tennesseans stayed with their comrades and carried out their responsibilities. Rifleman Tom Holloway wrote, "I went into this measure with the conviction that it was my imperative duty." Eventually, as the war destroyed the Tennesseans, Lt. Ferguson Harris wrote simply, "I wonder who will be the last of us to go?

Incorporating the Costs and Benefits of Adaptation Measures in Preparation for Extreme Weather Events and Climate Change -- Guidebook

By: Dewberry Engineers,Venner Consulting,Impact Infrastructure, Inc,McVoy Associates

Extreme weather events and a changing climate increasingly boost costs to transportation agencies and to the traveling public. While Departments of Transportation (DOTs) are taking into account changing climate and extreme weather when making infrastructure decisions, they typically are not using a formal set of tools or cost-benefit analyses (CBAs) to address climate resilience because they may be too time-consuming and expensive to conduct routinely. The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Research Report 938: Incorporating the Costs and Benefits of Adaptation Measures in Preparation for Extreme Weather Events and Climate Change--Guidebook was developed to try to fill the gaps identified by DOTs. It is intended to provide a consolidated resource for transportation practitioners to be able to more readily consider CBAs as a tool in their investment-decision making processes when considering different climate and extreme weather adaptation alternatives. This report has additional resources, including a web-only document NCHRP Web-Only Document 271: Guidelines to Incorporate the Costs andBenefits of Adaptation Measures in Preparation for Extreme Weather Events and Climate Change, a Power Point presentation that describes the research and the results, a spreadsheet tool that provides an approximate test to see if it would be cost-effective to upgrade assets to the future conditions posed by climate change, and a spreadsheet tool that uses existing conditions without climate change only to calculate the new return period for future conditions with climate change.

Ernst Jünger - A Different European Destiny

By: Dominique Venner

In Ernst Jünger: A Different European Destiny, Dominique Venner offers a captivating biography and a profound analysis of one of Europe's most enigmatic right-wing thinkers and writers. Ernst Jünger, the decorated soldier, philosopher, and literary giant, lived through and reflected upon some of the most defining moments of the 20th century, from the trenches of World War One and occupied Paris in World War Two to the intellectual upheavals of postwar Europe. His works, imbued with themes of heroism, discipline, and existential challenge, resonate with those who seek to overcome the limitations of a degenerate modernity. Venner explores not only Jünger's extraordinary life but also the philosophical underpinnings of his most celebrated writings. Through this dual approach, Venner sheds light on Jünger's unique worldview - one shaped by war, myth, and a search for meaning in a world increasingly marked by technology and conformity.
