The picturesque vineyards of California's Napa Valley, one of the
world's premier tourist destinations, disguise a tangled history of
lawlessness, depravity and frontier justice. Some crimes were
committed over debts, some for retribution and others in the name
of love. Famed photographer Eadweard Muybridge killed a man for
seducing his wife but was acquitted. Other criminals were not so
lucky and met the gallows, like murderer William Roe, the state's
final public execution. From the Pomo massacre--the first criminal
case heard by the California Supreme Court--to the cold cases that
continue to haunt the region, Napa Police Detective Todd Shulman
decants the crimes of the Napa Valley, memorializing the victims
and honoring the efforts of local law enforcement.
According to the U.S .Department of Justice, more than six million
people are stalked each year in the United States alone. Don't
become one of them International cybercrime expert Alexis Moore can
help protect you from the spurned lovers, angry neighbors, and
jealous coworkers who use the Internet as the perfect way to exact
revenge and wreak havoc on your life. In her essential book, she
introduces the ten most common personality profiles of
cyberstalkers--such as Attention-Getting, Jealous, Manipulative,
Controlling, and Narcissistic--and their threatening online
behaviors. Each chapter includes a quiz to help you identify the
signs of that personality type in order to determine if you are in
a potentially vulnerable relationship. Case studies illustrate how
that particular cybercriminal operates, and Moore offers tips to
prevent and/or recover from each type of cybercrime. She also
provides strategies to help victims protect themselves, reestablish
their reputations and credentials, recover from financial losses,
and rebuild their lives. The techniques range from recovering data,
monitoring online profiles and social media information, and
regaining self-esteem to changing identities and even going
underground.

The area of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) has become a
subject of improving significance over the last 30 years. Initially
dealing with issues in market and risks associated with mechanical
or technical injury, the Occupational Safety and Health field has
extended to almost every environment, from the office to the
aircraft, as well as a clinical setting. Beyond the cost savings,
improved safety has many beneficial effects. In one recent survey,
95 percent of business executives reported that workplace safety
has a positive impact on a company's financial performance.
Typically, companies that implement a comprehensive safety and
health program report that employee morale improves, leading to
increases in productivity, competitiveness, and profits. This text
separates into sections. The first section involves how safety
affects the bottom line. Section 2 looks at the various management
systems. The third section follows with areas of safety
engineering, requirements and case study analysis. Our task, as
business leaders, is to continue to reduce risk, secure our workers
and increase our safety lifestyle. Demonstrating the value of
safety to management is often a task because the revenue (ROI) can
be complicated to evaluate. Safety needs to be inserted naturally
into the entire working environment, starting at the top level.
Safety factors are something you want to be proactive with, not
reactive. Creating a safety program will eventually help your
organization's bottom line.
The tragic disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 has
created a need for research in the areas of aircraft
transportation, and specifically flight debris tracking. As
researchers and scientists continue to search for novel
technologies that will assist with aeronautical detection, two
modes have emerged as possible solutions. The use of remote sensing
technology and genetic algorithms are techniques that scientists
are beginning to use to improve aircraft trajectory models and to
locate downed aircraft. Genetic Algorithms and Remote Sensing
Technology for Tracking Flight Debris is an essential reference
source that discusses developing tracking methods using advanced
algorithms as well as satellite technologies. Featuring research on
topics such as wave pattern modeling, microwave satellite data, and
trajectory movement, this book is ideally designed for
practitioners, researchers, oceanographers, aerospace engineers,
scientists, educators, developers, analysts, and students seeking
coverage on advancements in sensor and tracking technology in
regard to flight dynamics.
