Through out the past quarter century, there has been an increased
focus on corrections both as a means of social control (i.e.
reducing crime) and generating income (i.e. profiteering from
punishment); and with this in mind "From Bars to Windows," attempts
to examine how and explain why we can change the orientation of
national correctional policy to more equitably spread the wealth
generated by our nations prison system. Unlike the traditional
staple of prison writing comprised of psuedo redemptive
autobiography's, violence, sexual brutality, and the like-"From
Bars to Windows," concentrates more on the fundamental economics'
of our prison system. Indeed this book is a virtual how to manual
that explains the in's and outs of ethically and morally
profiteering from our prison system.The book lays out exactly how
investors can reap tremendous profits by taking advantage of the
readily available for-profit prison industrial infrastructure that
exists within our country. Market conditions are such that now the
Green Energy sector is poised for virtually unparalleled growth. On
the other side of the equation, there's a burgeoning prison
manufacturing sector. For instance there were over 100 Federal
prison based factories, which employed more than 21,000 inmates and
generated over $546.3 million in net sales in 2003 alone.. As multi
nationals realize that continued outsourcing of manufacturing jobs
is no longer a viable or sustainable strategy, there's going to be
an inexorable nexus between manufacturing on the one hand, and
rehabilitative Prison industries on the other-with billions in
potential profits at stake. Some of the highlights of the book
include: u defines and explains, Gatsian economic theoryu explains
how prisons and profiteering are inextricably linked u provides an
examination of how the inherent economic potential of the prison
black market can be harnessed to yield net economic gains for
society
"Essential reading for those in the biosciences, government and
learned societies. It poses fundamental questions about undertaking
science today" - Dr. Chris Langley, Aston University The objectives
of the papers included in this NATO volume were to critically
consider the science and technology policies necessary for defence
against terrorism and other threats to security; to assess the
priorities for governments, universities, national laboratories and
industrial firms; to identify how governments and the science and
technology community can most effectively work together to enhance
our security; and to share the experiences of policy makers and
policy analysts. The importance and relevance of this selection of
papers to the policy community is reflected in the seniority of the
contributors. These included Dr. Parney Albright who held the
position of Assistant Secretary for Science & Technology at the
US Department of Homeland Security as well as senior figures from
the UK Home Office, UK Office of Science & Technology, the
European Commission and NATO.
Understanding the latest capabilities in the cyber threat landscape
as well as the cyber forensic challenges and approaches is the best
way users and organizations can prepare for potential negative
events. Adopting an experiential learning approach, this book
describes how cyber forensics researchers, educators and
practitioners can keep pace with technological advances, and
acquire the essential knowledge and skills, ranging from IoT
forensics, malware analysis, and CCTV and cloud forensics to
network forensics and financial investigations. Given the growing
importance of incident response and cyber forensics in our
digitalized society, this book will be of interest and relevance to
researchers, educators and practitioners in the field, as well as
students wanting to learn about cyber forensics.
This book offers insights on effective policies that can be applied
to other economies in terms of using technology financing to foster
technological innovations. It outlines the role of government in
accelerating the nation's innovative capacity by promoting
technology investments that will achieve successful and sustainable
economic development.
THE SECRET OF SUCCESSFUL RUNNING. Examination of privately-owned
cars has demonstrated that while some drivers realise the necessity
of periodical lubrication of all moving parts, others, who have not
been trained as mechanics, content themselves by oiling the parts
which come immediately under their eye, and ne-glect other parts,
thus allowing the chassis to be injured, to become noisy and
inefficient, and their masters to be put to unnecessary expense in
repairs. An endeavour has been made in this book by means of
copious illustrations, to enable the least experienced owner to
satisfy himself if his driver is or is not giving the attention
which is indispensible for the economical and satisfactory working
of a chassis. First issued January, 1911 (reprinted June, 1920)

Irrespective of the interdisciplinary, epistemological, pedagogical
or etymological differences in the interpretation of leadership,
technological situational happenstances (TSH) is cognitively and
effectively use as a trajectory toward transformation of various
leadership styles. Commonalities and differences exist in Bass'
(1985, 1996, 1997) and Burns' (1978, 2002, 2003, 2006) leadership
theories. Some scholars harbor crotchetiness to Bass' and Burns'
theories (Keeley, 1995; Mckendall, 1993; Snyder, 1987; White &
Wooten, 1986). Other scholars constructively remain neutral to
Bass' and Burns' theories (Dmitry, 2007; Yukl, 2006). Without
leaders deploying TSH in organizations, information will be
distorted and degraded from reaching strategic and tactical
planners. TSH is use to analyze, synthesize and triangulate the
United States real estate historical trends from 1880s to present.
Financial mortgage institutions' unquenchable greed and unethical
behaviors of granting mortgage loans to applicants resulted in
foreclosures of homes in the United States. Financial institutions,
such as Wachovia, Citigroup, Bank of America and Merrill Lynch
Company assets backed collecterizatons are conjecturally losers in
loans granted to applicants. Conversely, scholars in real estate
posit that mortgage foreclosures on homeowners' cascades into
economy recession, slowdown or cyclical trough (Aluya, 2007, 2007a,
2008; Austums, 2008; Cho, 2007). TSH is a nonlinear disruptive
technology that resets customer's expectation, creates competitive
advantages and shifts the market in favor of the disruptor (Yitts,
2006). TSH is an innovative technology that removed the dearth from
the anchored business model. Inthis book, UPS, Hewlett-Package,
Nokia, AOL Time Warner, and Yahoo are used as case studies. In the
21st century, organizational leaders use TSH to reposition
strategically new products or services. TSH is also use in
resetting industrial benchmarks and standards within the global
terrain. The author is the publisher of Housing in Sub-Saharan
Cities in 2007. Housing Phenomena in Abuja, Nigeria-A Case Study,

The Rolls-Royce 25/30 was offered between 1936 and 1938 and
succeeded the 20-25hp. It was intended to appeal to owner drivers
and was one of the "smaller" and more popular cars of the
manufacturer. A total number of 1.201 was built in the Derby plant.
This handbook is a reprint of the original from 1938 and contains
very useful information about the use, the maintenance and the
restauration of these unique cars.
Simulation with Arena provides a comprehensive treatment of
simulation using industry-standard Arena software. The textbook

then progresses to advanced modeling and analysis. Statistical
design and analysis of simulation experiments is integrated with
the modeling chapters, reflecting the importance of mathematical
modeling of these activities. An informal, tutorial writing style
is used to aid the beginner in fully understanding the ideas and
topics presented. The new edition now reflects Arena version 16.2
(from version 14.5 in the prior edition), which contains many new
and useful features. The new edition of Simulation with Arena is

Composting is a widely used biological process for the management
of some wastes produced in communities and agricultural activities,
which have experienced substantial growth during the last few
years. Because this and the knowledge of composting has increased,
the number of composting facilities has increased tremendously,
especially in some European countries. Interest has also increased
in several countries in other regions of the world. This book
attempts to summarize some of the most important work conducted
during the last few years under one cover. The contributions to the
publication are made by some of the most qualified professionals in
the world and present the information in a clear and objective
manner. The readers will find the information very useful and will
be helpful in the design of new facilities and organic recycling
programs. The manager or interested member of the community does
not have to have a rigorous training in science or technology.

One aim of Gilmer's captivating text on university pedagogy is
to show that biochemistry (or any science) does not consist solely
of facts to be learned, but is a way of thinking about the world.
Her purpose, both in this book and in her classroom, is to make her
students into critical thinkers rather than passive learners. The
chapters cast a critical eye over research into enhanced education
techniques such as collaborative learning. Gilmer describes the
action research she conducted in her own biochemistry undergraduate
classroom into ways of improving the learning environment. She
offers various perspectives on the make-up of her classroom,
including an analysis of ethnographic data.
The tools Gilmer employs as she hones her teaching skills
include collaborative learning and technology. She views the
classroom through various theoretical perspectives: social
constructivism, cultural-historical activity theory, and a theory
that involves the dialectic between the structure of the learning
environment and the agency of the learners (a group among whom she
includes herself). She provides a wealth of autobiographical detail
as well as the results of her action research, which followed up on
its original subjects after an interval of 11 years, to see what
impact her course had on their professional growth. Above all, this
volume is proof of what can be achieved in education when teachers
are as interested in the process of learning as they are in their
subject itself.
