Sinopsis
Some people seem to think that handwriting is redundant and not worth teaching any more. This is not true. It is still an important, if not vital, skill worldwide.
Even in countries where computers are in constant use, both in schools and the home, they cannot do everything. It will be many years before they will be generally approved for use in examinations. Then, what about note-taking? Today most of us need a fl exible way of writing – fast, almost a scribble for ourselves alone to read, and progressively slower and more legible for other purposes. The less attention given to teaching handwriting, the worse the situation will become.
What about you? How do you feel when you look at your own script, and perhaps compare it to other people ’ s? If anyone is criticizing your handwriting, there is no way of hiding it. It is not a happy situation to be made to feel inadequate. You may only imagine that something is wrong or think that others see your script as immature. It has the same effect. You get all tensed up, and that only makes matters worse.
Then there are times when a typed letter is inappropriate and you want something more personal. You want something special. We all know the feeling when an envelope arrives and you recognize the hand of a much-loved friend or relative. There are so many reasons for keeping up handwriting and acquiring a satisfactory personal script. What is more, unfair though it is, we are often judged by the appearance of our handwriting by the outside world. Just addressing that envelope may be revealing.
Writing by hand can make a difference to what you write as well. It is interesting to learn that the more creative writers and poets are, the more likely they are to prefer writing by hand. It is that feeling of straight from the mind to the paper via the hand.

THE BIG THREE SMILED
AT the world from the grounds of the Livadia Palace in the Crimean
resort town of Yalta. It was February 1945. The chill blowing off the Black Sea
pressed the leaders into greatcoats and fur hats: Prime Minister Winston
Churchill, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Marshal Josef Stalin were meeting
here to carve up the old Continent devastated by war and decide the outline of
the post-war world.

Sinopsis
The purpose of information security is to protect an organization’s valuable resources, such as information, computer hardware, and software. Through the selection and application of appropriate safeguards, security helps an organization’s mission by protecting its physical and financial resources, reputation, legal position, employees, and other tangible and intangible assets. To many, security is sometimes viewed as thwarting the business objectives of an organization by imposing poorly selected, bothersome rules and procedures on users, managers, and systems. Well-chosen security rules and procedures do not exist for their own sake—they are put in place to protect important assets and thereby support the overall business objectives.
Developing an information security program that adheres to the principle of security as a business enabler is the first step in an enterprise’s effort to build an effective security program. Organizations must continually (1) explore and assess information security risks to business operations; (2) determine what policies, standards, and controls are worth implementing to reduce these risks; (3) promote awareness and understanding among the staff; and (4) assess compliance and control effectiveness. As with other types of internal controls, this is a cycle of activity, not an exercise with a defined beginning and end.
This book has been designed to give the information security professional a solid understanding of the fundamentals of security and the entire range of issues the practitioner must address. We hope that you will be able to take the key elements that comprise a successful information security program and implement the concepts into your own successful program. Each chapter has been written by a different author

Download PDF In Pursuit of Silence by George Prochnik
Sinopis
One spring day I went in pursuit of silence in downtown Brooklyn. I live not far away from the place where I began my search, on a leafy street that is, relatively speaking, a haven of quiet in a relentless city. I have a small garden, and the rooms where I sleep, work, and spend time with loved ones are surrounded by old, thick walls. Even so, I’m woken by trac helicopters; I’m aggravated by sirens and construction (often these days by music played on the sites rather than by sounds of actual building). And then there are screeching bus brakes, rumbling trucks unsettling manhole lids, and the
unpredictable eruptions of my neighbors’ sound systems. I’m scared of becoming a noise crank, but I’ve just always loved quiet.

Sinopsis
A new type of actively sensing multisonar system has been developed for obstacle detection, localization and map updating in indoor environments. It comprises 24 individual intelligent transmitter and receiver elements arranged in a horizontal plane around a high-speed motion platform. The physical sensors are electronically configured to form various types of virtual sensor arrays for specific tasks and situations. A method for high-frequency firing compensates for the low speed of sound in air. Various schemes for intelligent evaluation of the array outputs provide highly accurate localization estimates. Experiments with the developed multisonar system in structured and cluttered environments demonstrate improved perception capabilities compared to state-of-the-art approaches

Sinopsis
Judging from the email communications that I've received from so many of you, the biggest deficiency of the first edition is that it provides no sample solutions to any of the problems. So here they are. Every chapter now contains a new Selected Solutions section that gives answers to a representative cross-section of that chapter's exercises and problems. To make up for the loss of the solved problems as interesting homework challenges, I've also added a variety of new problems. Instructors may request an Instructor's Manual that contains additional solutions by contacting the sales representative for their region designated at www. course. comn.
A number of readers would have liked more coverage of certain "standard" topics, particularly the Myhill-Nerode Theorem and Rice's Theorem. I've partially accommodated these readers by developing these topics in the solved problems. I did not include the Myhill-Nerode Theorem in the main body of the text because I believe that this course should provide only an introduction to finite automata and not a deep investigation.
