Drawing on six years of research, experimentation, and observation
at numerous airports, this book examines, for the first time, the
security screening process and how it can be optimised. The science
behind security screening is revealed here and clearly explains the
inter-relationship between the different metrics and factors that
affect the screening process. Andrew Boyd explains how to balance
throughput rates, customer experience, security effectiveness and
cost in a very practical way that can be applied at any area that
is security screening members of the public. With clear detail and
an abundance of practical examples, this book gives executives and
managers at any level the ability to dramatically improve their
security screening processes. It is the first book to reveal * A
detailed insight into the key inter-relationships of metrics in
passenger security operations * How to increase retail income by
reducing queues * How to improve aircraft departure punctuality *
How to optimise the passenger screening process * How to
dramatically improve operational efficiency * How to improve
throughput, improve security detection, and improve passenger
satisfaction, whilst reducing operating cost * Methods for
continuous improvement in an airport security environment * How to

An existential manual for tragic optimists, can-do pessimists, and
compassionate doomers With global warming projected to rocket past
the 1.5°C limit, lifelong activist Andrew Boyd is thrown into a
crisis of hope, and off on a quest to learn how to live with the
"impossible news" of our climate doom. He searches out eight of
today's leading climate thinkers — from activist Tim
DeChristopher to collapse-psychologist Jamey Hecht, grassroots
strategist adrienne maree brown, eco-philosopher Joana Macy, and
Indigenous botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer — asking them: "Is it
really the end of the world? and if so, now what?" With gallows
humor and a broken heart, Boyd steers readers through their climate
angst as he walks his own. Boyd's journey takes him from
storm-battered coastlines to pipeline blockades and "hopelessness
workshops." Along the way, he maps out our existential options, and
tackles some familiar dilemmas: "Should I bring kids into such a
world?" "Can I lose hope when others can't afford to?" and "Why the
fuck am I recycling?" He finds answers that will surprise, inspire,
and maybe even make you laugh. Drawing on wisdom traditions
Eastern, Western, and Indigenous, Boyd crafts an insightful and
irreverent guide for achieving a "better catastrophe." This is
vital reading for everyone navigating climate anxiety and grief as
our world hurtles towards an unthinkable crisis.

In the warzone that Nigeria has become, Archbishop Ben Kwashi has
survived three assassination attempts. A brutal assault on his
wife, Gloria, drove him to his knees - to forgive and find the
strength to press on. Islamist militants have Nigeria in their
sights. These are the terrorists who kidnapped hundreds of
Christian schoolgirls - who have vowed to turn Africa's most
populous nation into a hard-line Islamic state. Their plan is to
drive the Christian minority from the north by kidnapping, bombing
and attacking churches. Plateau State is on the frontline. But
holding that line against Boko Haram, and standing firm for the
Gospel, is Ben Kwashi, the Anglican Archbishop of Jos. In Jos,
churches have been turned into fortresses and Archbishop Ben now
conducts more funerals than weddings and baptisms put together. Yet
his faith grows ever more vibrant. He has adopted scores of orphans
who live in his home, including many who are HIV positive. And the
challenge of his message - to live for the Gospel even in the face
of terror - has never been so timely.
In March 1987 a radical coalition of queer activists converged on
Wall Street ... their target, 'Business, Big Business, Business as
Usual ' It was ACT UP's first demonstration. In November 1999 a
radical coalition of environmental, labor, anarchist, queer, and
human rights activists converged in Seattle--their target was
similar, a system of global capitalism. Between 1987 and 1999 a new
project in activism had emerged unshackled from past ghosts.
Through innovative use of civil rights' era non-violent
disobedience, guerrilla theatre, and sophisticated media work, ACT
UP has helped transform the world of activism.
This anthology offers a history of ACT UP for a new generation of
activists and students. It is divided into five sections which
address the new social movements, the use of street theater to
reclaim public space, queer and sexual politics, new
media/electronic civil disobedience, and race and community
building. Contributions range across a diverse spectrum: The
Northwest Bronx Community and Clergy Coalition, Jubilee 2000,
Students for an Undemocratic Society, Fed Up Queers, Gender
Identity Center of Colorado, Triangle Foundation, Jacks of Color,
National Coalition for Sexual Freedom, Lower East Side Collective,
Community Labor Coalition, Church of Stop-Shopping, Indy Media
Collective, Black Radical Congress, The Theater of the Oppressed
Laboratory, Adelante Street Theater; HealthGAP, Housing Works,
SexPanic and, of course, ACT UP itself.

This is the first comprehensive account of how intelligence
influenced and sustained British naval power from the mid
nineteenth century, when the Admiralty first created a dedicated
intelligence department, through to the end of the Cold War. It
brings a critical new dimension to our understanding of British
naval history in this period while setting naval intelligence in a
wider context and emphasising the many parts of the British state
that contributed to naval requirements. It is also a fascinating
study of how naval needs and personalities shaped the British
intelligence community that exists today and the concepts and
values that underpin it. The author explains why and how
intelligence was collected and assesses its real impact on policy
and operations. It confirms that naval intelligence was critical to
Britain's survival and ultimate victory in the two World Wars but
significantly reappraises its role, highlighting the importance of
communications intelligence to an effective blockade in the First,
and according Ultra less dominance compared to other sources in the
Second. It reveals that coverage of Germany before 1914 and of the
three Axis powers in the interwar period was more comprehensive and
effective than previously suggested; and while British power
declined rapidly after 1945, the book shows how intelligence helped
the Royal Navy to remain a significant global force for the rest of
the twentieth century, and in submarine warfare, especially in the
second half of the Cold War, to achieve influence and impact for
Britain far exceeding resources expended. This compelling new
history will have wide appeal to all readers interested in
intelligence and its crucial impact on naval policy and operations.
