"Alien Woman" examines the construction of sex and gender in the
four science-fiction films comprising the Alien saga (starring
Sigourney Weaver). The Alien saga stands alone in presenting an
enduring, self-reliant female protagonist, Ripley, who in the first
film ends up as the sole survivor of the beleaguered starship
Nostromo. Subsequent writers and directors in the 1980's and
1990's, left to grapple with this strong female protagonist,
re-envision Ripley for different social, political, and cultural
imperatives for women. "Alien Woman" focuses on how these writers
and directors have re-written Ripley and how each revision informs
our understanding of women in science fiction, and by examining the
films' creation and commodification of the female hero, the book
illustrates how changing attitudes toward women and the female body
help us understand broader societal beliefs and relationships, and
provides a useful lens with which to understand woman's place in
the late 20th century and early 21st century.
"Applied Network Security Monitoring" is the essential guide to
becoming an NSM analyst from the ground up. This book takes a
fundamental approach to NSM, complete with dozens of real-world
examples that teach you the key concepts of NSM.
Network security monitoring is based on the principle that
prevention eventually fails. In the current threat landscape, no
matter how much you try, motivated attackers will eventually find
their way into your network. At that point, it is your ability to
detect and respond to that intrusion that can be the difference
between a small incident and a major disaster.
The book follows the three stages of the NSM cycle: collection,
detection, and analysis. As you progress through each section, you
will have access to insights from seasoned NSM professionals while
being introduced to relevant, practical scenarios complete with
sample data.
If you've never performed NSM analysis, "Applied Network
Security Monitoring" will give you an adequate grasp on the core
concepts needed to become an effective analyst. If you are already
a practicing analyst, this book will allow you to grow your
analytic technique to make you more effective at your job.
Discusses the proper methods for data collection, and teaches you
how to become a skilled NSM analystProvides thorough hands-on
coverage of Snort, Suricata, Bro-IDS, SiLK, and ArgusLoaded with
practical examples containing real PCAP files you can replay, and
uses Security Onion for all its lab examplesCompanion website

In 2020, engineering firm Velentium faced an unprecedented ask:
partner with a small medical device company and a very large
vehicle manufacturer to increase emergency ventilator production
from hundreds per month to thousands per week-in just 28 days.
Serving on the frontlines of pandemic response is enough pressure
to cause any size business to buckle, but the small firm thrived
and even doubled in size to complete their manufacturing scale-up
known as Project V: seven months of work in six weeks. Velentium's
cofounder Dan Purvis attributes their extraordinary success to
their decade-in-the-making company culture, which buoyed them in
the face of an unforeseeable crisis. In 28 Days to Save the World,
he lays out how to harness the power of organizational culture to
prepare your small business to weather any challenges ahead. Every
quarter, more than 30 million small-business entrepreneurs face
innumerable familiar crises-of management, strategic direction,
cashflow and credit, staff, and customers-that can spell their
doom. Drawing from his twenty-five years of experience as a
small-business leader, and with gripping stories from Project V,
Purvis reveals crisis-tested methods for turning challenges into
opportunities. He shows how a well-crafted culture: * Reveals the
right path in a crisis * Taps into team members' inner motivation *
Unites leaders and followers * Compels action in "made for you"
moments * Enables you to step up to global challenges * Catalyzes
deep connections between people inside and outside your
organization When a defining moment arrives for your organization,
will your team be ready? 28 Days to Save the World is an essential
resource for ensuring that you are.

same time, with their fates intertwined. The old man they called
The Hand wrote on their bodies a story and a prophecy. One to

fate of kingdoms came crawling to their door.
An introductory history of the ?virtual body, ? eVolve explores the

cartography, narrative, drama, games and spontaneous play as
simulations, miniature war games, role-playing games, computer
games, virtual cinema, the internet MOOs and MUDs, massively
multiplayer online communities MMOs, and, finally, artificial
intelligence, the Anthropic Cosmological Principles, and Omega

humanities, and the sciences
Despite annual predictions of its demise, email marketing remains
one of the most important tools for businesses and other
organizations. The reason is simple. Other communication tools,
including social and digital media channels, cannot duplicate or
recreate the unique capabilities of email marketing. This book is
for those who wish to learn more about how email marketing works,
whether as students, teachers, or practitioners. The authors recap
the history of email and email marketing and explain how it informs
email today. They cover the fundamentals of email marketing,
including types of emails, the elements of an email, email metrics,
best practices for email for improving performance, list
development, and the benefits of segmenting an email list. Also
addressed are special topics in email strategy, including the
psychology of email recipients, AB testing for optimizing email
elements, integrating email with social media, and aligning email
with big data sources.
This new and refreshing book provides a positive explanation to
children who are separated from their parents for any period of
time. We share when we sleep gradually leads to a conclusion of
sharing parents who are overseas when the children are asleep. This
story is narrated by two boys, Dylan and Kaiser, who have a very
special way of creating a connection with the reader by relating to
sharing a parent who is overseas too. Perfect for military
families, child psychologist, therapist, counselor, support groups,
non-profits concerned with child separation anxiety, as well as any
family who is faced with the complicated task of explaining being
separated from their children. In addition to describing sharing
when we sleep, the author has uniquely addressed various other
types of sharing in this book such as sharing our environment,
resources, family, friends, teachers, toys, food, feelings, and
even their home.
First, this is a book of church humor about all the interesting, if
not distracting, people you will meet in church. Interestingly,
these same people exist in virtually every fellowship of religious
people in the world. Some of them you will recognize immediately,
and some may cause you to look more closely to just who is filling
that role in your local congregation.
On a deeper level this book is for church professionals who need
to be aware of the people who make up that .1% of your church that
are causing most of the drag on progress.
Particularly new ministers should read this book so you can
recognize these personality types when you encounter them in your
ministry. Recognition will remove much of the stress you encounter
in the early days of your ministry. For more experienced ministers
there is relief in finally recognizing who these people are and
what they are doing that seems to inject stress into your life.
Finally, it is a handy-dandy guide for all church members to use to
be sure that you aren't part of energy drain on your local
congregation. Bottle Babies was written in fun. Humor often makes
the serious matters easier to see and digest. However, in these
days when faith in God is under attack, it is imperative that we
remove every trace of the "weight that so easily entangles us."

The poleaxe is a fearsome weapon: the armour-breaching weapon par
excellence of the late Middle Ages, wielded on foot in friendly
tournaments, lethal duels, and on the battlefield. Instruction on
its use is found throughout surviving medieval martial arts
manuscripts from Germany and Italy, but Le Jeu de la Hache
(Axe-Play)-written in the mid fifteenth century for the Burgundian
Court--is both the most complete study of this deadly weapon and
the oldest known French-language martial arts text. In this new
translation and interpretive guide, Jason Smith presents a complete
translation of Le Jeu, detailed photographic reconstructions of its
many techniques, and a short primer on the basics of axe combat,
creating a complete curriculum for actually training in this unique
medieval martial art. Combined with a historical overview of the
manuscript and a detailed biography of Jacques de Lalain, a famed
Burgundian axe-fighter, this volume is not just a modern training
manual, but also a window into knightly culture at the waning of
the Middle Ages.
