The Columbine tragedy on April 20, 1999 began a new era in law
enforcement as it became apparent that the police response to such
mass shootings must be drastically altered. By the time the Sandy
Hook Elementary School shooting occurred on December 14, 2012,
outdated police response strategies had been replaced with new,
aggressive tactics used by the first officers on the scene. The
frequency with which these events occur remind us time and again
about the importance of training and preparing for these critical
situations before they occur in our own backyards. Active Shooter
Events and Response is one of the first attempts to not only
discuss historic active shooter events, but also to actually
dissect some of them-empowering law enforcement professionals by
leveraging the essential knowledge and experience of those who have
gone before us. The book also offers insight into the training
methodologies and strategies used to prepare our nation's first
responders to address the active shooter threat. In addition, the
authors discuss the clear and present threat of terrorist
organizations using these mass shooter tactics on American
soil-similar to the attacks in Beslan, Russia and Mumbai, India.
Written by members of the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response
Training (ALERRT) Center at Texas State University, this book is
the culmination of more than a decade's worth of training and
research into active shooter events and represents
state-of-the-art, evidence-based best practices.
This collection of survey and research articles brings together
topics at the forefront of the theory of L-functions and Galois
representations. Highlighting important progress in areas such as
the local Langlands programme, automorphic forms and Selmer groups,
this timely volume treats some of the most exciting recent
developments in the field. Included are survey articles from Khare
on Serre's conjecture, Yafaev on the Andre-Oort conjecture, Emerton
on his theory of Jacquet functors, Venjakob on non-commutative
Iwasawa theory and Vigneras on mod p representations of GL(2) over
p-adic fields. There are also research articles by: Boeckle,
Buzzard, Cornut and Vatsal, Diamond, Hida, Kurihara and R. Pollack,
Kisin, Nekovar, and Bertolini, Darmon and Dasgupta. Presenting the
very latest research on L-functions and Galois representations,
this volume is indispensable for researchers in algebraic number
theory.
Are you plagued by fears, phobias, or panic attacks? Do you toss
and turn at night with a knot in your stomach, worrying about your
job, your family, work, your health, or relationships? Do you
suffer from crippling shyness, obsessive doubts, or feelings of
insecurity?
What you may not realize is that these fears are almost never based
on reality. Anxiety is one of the world's oldest cons. When you're
anxious, you're actually fooling yourself. You are telling yourself
things that simply aren't true. See if you can recognize yourself
in any of these distortions:
All-or-Nothing Thinking: "My mind will go blank when I give my
presentation at work, and everyone will think I'm an idiot."
Fortune Telling: "I just know I'll freeze up and blow it when I
take my test."
Mind Reading "Everyone at this party can see how nervous I
am."
Magnification: "Flying is so dangerous. I think this plane is going
to crash "
Should Statements: "I shouldn't be so anxious and insecure. Other
people don't feel this way."
Emotional Reasoning: "I feel like I'm on the verge of cracking up
"
Self-Blame: "What's wrong with me? I'm such a loser "
Mental Filter: "Why can't I get anything done? My life seems like
one long procrastination."
Now imagine what it be like to live a life that's free of worries
and self-doubt; to go to sleep at night feeling peaceful and
relaxed; to overcome your shyness and have fun with other people;
to give dynamic presentations without worrying yourself sick ahead
of time; to enjoy greater creativity, productivity and
self-confidence.
Does that sound impossible? The truth is you "can" defeat your
fears. In "When Panic Attacks," Dr. Burns takes you by the hand and
shows you how to overcome every conceivable kind of anxiety. In
fact, you will learn how to use more than forty simple, effective
techniques, and the moment you put the lie to the distorted
thoughts that plague you, your fears will immediately disappear.
Dr. Burns also shares the latest research on the drugs commonly
prescribed for anxiety and depression and explains why they may
sometimes do more harm than good.
This is not pop psychology but proven, fast-acting techniques that
have been shown to be more effective than medications. "When Panic
Attacks" is an indispensable handbook for anyone who's worried sick
and sick of worrying.
This volume collects the texts of five courses given in the
Arithmetic Geometry Research Programme 2009-2010 at the CRM
Barcelona. All of them deal with characteristic p global fields;
the common theme around which they are centered is the arithmetic
of L-functions (and other special functions), investigated in
various aspects. Three courses examine some of the most important
recent ideas in the positive characteristic theory discovered by
Goss (a field in tumultuous development, which is seeing a number
of spectacular advances): they cover respectively crystals over
function fields (with a number of applications to L-functions of
t-motives), gamma and zeta functions in characteristic p, and the
binomial theorem. The other two are focused on topics closer to the
classical theory of abelian varieties over number fields: they give
respectively a thorough introduction to the arithmetic of Jacobians
over function fields (including the current status of the BSD
conjecture and its geometric analogues, and the construction of
Mordell-Weil groups of high rank) and a state of the art survey of
Geometric Iwasawa Theory explaining the recent proofs of various
versions of the Main Conjecture, in the commutative and
non-commutative settings.
