******************************************************** PUSHED TOO
FAR, EVERYONE BREAKS... There is a killer loose on the London
Underground. He kills without leaving any forensic trace, and
seemingly without motive. Genecrime, the UK's elite forensic unit,
are stretched to the limits trying to find one usable clue. And
there is another problem facing Genecrime. Before he was sacked as
head of the unit, Reuben Maitland developed a system to predict
latent homicidal behaviour from people's DNA. Now rogue elements in
the police, believing that prevention is better than cure, are
using Reuben's research to hunt down and incite latent psychopaths
beyond their breaking point. Reuben must track down whoever is
misusing his technology and stop them before more lives are
destroyed. But what he cannot know is that his investigation will
lead him directly into the path of the Underground killer...
This book provides readers with an overview of Cloud Computing,
starting with historical background on mainframe computers and
early networking protocols, leading to current concerns such as
hardware and systems security, performance, emerging areas of IoT,
Edge Computing, and healthcare etc. Readers will benefit from the
in-depth discussion of cloud computing usage and the underlying
architectures. The authors explain carefully the "why's and how's"
of Cloud Computing, so engineers will find this book an invaluable
source of information to the topic. This third edition includes new
material on Cloud Computing Scalability, as well as best practices
for using dynamic cloud infrastructure, and cloud operations
management with cost optimizations. Several new examples and
analysis of cloud security have been added, including ARM
architecture and https protocol. Provides practical guidance for
software developers engaged in migrating in-house applications to
Public Cloud; Describes for IT managers how to improve their Cloud
Computing infrastructures; Includes coverage of security concerns
with Cloud operating models; Uses several case studies to
illustrate the "why's and how's" of using the Cloud; Examples and
options to improve Cloud Computing Scalability.

Today, a prosperous technology company can be disrupted and put out
of business in a blink of an eye. The development of many different
technologies that once took years can be done in months or weeks.
There are also few examples where the engineering work is
completely contained in one company or one engineering
organization. Business strategies have evolved. The analysis of
competitive forces in an industry has matured to include the
concepts of disruptive innovation and coopetition. In an ecosystem
characterized by rapid changes in technology and how it is
developed, an engineering R&D organization will quickly become
irrelevant if it fails to keep the pace of innovation needed to
succeed. This book provides readers with a holistic approach to
engineering management. We have seen that successful managers
create a strong foundation of a common culture that enables
learning, value creation, diversity and inclusion. They create
organizations that tightly connect the core engineering functions
of strategic planning, research and development and are able to
comprehend and direct a broader R&D system that stretches well
beyond their own organization's boundary. Doing all of this to
extract the greatest value in the least amount of time is what we
call holistic engineering management. The content for this book is
based on over 105 years of combined experience working in a rapidly
changing industry. In most chapters, practical examples and case
studies of the concepts provided are given. As noted in the
foreword by Pat Gelsinger (CEO, VMWare) and in comments from other
technology leaders: Aart de Geus (Chairman and co-CEO, Synopsys,
Inc.), Aicha Evans (CEO, Zoox, Inc.), William M Holt, (former
Executive VP, GM, Intel, Corp.), and Amir Faintuch (Senior VP, GM,
GlobalFoundries, Inc.), this book will be valuable for students of
engineering management and current engineering managers.
The problem of human freedom before God echoes through the
conflicts of western theology since Augustine and Pelagius and has
posed an acute question to theologians for the past 200 years. Karl
Barth, perhaps the greatest Protestant theologian of the twentieth
century, faced not only the question of autonomy but also the
theological answers that liberals had attempted to provide to it.
His dissatisfaction with their answers led him to start a
theological counter-revolution, which was thought to adopt a
negative answer to the question of autonomy. In this careful study
Fater Macken shows that a major re-interpretation of Barth's
thought in this regard took place since 1968, and that - far from
being an opponent of human freedom in relation to God - Barth is
now thought to have proposed a positive account of human autonomy
as his theology developed. Dr Macken demonstrates that Barth was
neither fundamentalist nor conservative, but a creative and
original thinker. This notable book, written by a Roman Catholic
theologian, provides a comprehensive and useful guide to the 'new
wave' of German Barth interpretation.
