One bullet equals one kill. For SWAT sniper Jake Denton, the bullet casings he saves as grim reminders of his "kills" are beginning to add up. His wife, his department-ordered psychiatrist, and even Jake himself are all beginning to question just how these sanctioned kills are affecting his mental health. Nobody wants him to end up like Lee Staley, his mentor and ex-partner---now out on permanent psych leave, drinking himself to death, and the prime suspect in a series of shootings that have paralyzed Northern California. Jake doesn't believe that Staley's guilty, but since their job has taught them to kill, how easy would it be for his friend to cross over to the other side? How easy would it be for him? On every police force in the country, there's a SWAT sniper going about his daily life, acting like an average cop, until the moment when the call comes in. Then they become a hostage's last hope and a criminal's worst nightmare. To some, they are silent heroes---to others, silent killers. Grant Jerkins and Jan Thomas's Done in One pulls back the curtain on their world.
Then Mr. Robert Allen Zimmerman was asking his mama to take his badge away,
that he just had no use for it anymore. This was bad. A Dylan 45 on repeat was a
bad omen. Jake kept knocking. A long, authoritative cop knock. The kind of knock
many of this building's occupants would be familiar with. He could just imagine
some of them flushing their drugs down the toilet right about now. Dylan was
talking about a long, black cloud coming down when the needle was
unceremoniously ...
Provides insightful advice on managing money and formulating the ideal financial strategy for the money-savvy consumer by identifying the key questions to ask one's financial advisors. By the author of Smart Questions To Ask Your Doctor. Original.
A trader does not necessarily make riskier investments, he only trades more
frequently. An investor is more concerned with the long-term results of his
investment. He looks at and is concerned with the overall performance of the
company. He is, of course, also looking to make a profit, but is willing to wait
longer to see a return. WHAT IS INSIDER TRADING? Insider trading is having
knowledge or information that the public is unaware of and using this information
to your advantage.
“An excellent novel. A lovely and moving portrait of society’s outcasts…affirms the essential humanity of its poor and stubborn residents, for whom each day of survival is a victory” (The New York Times Book Review). Set on the high ground at the heart of Cape Ann, the village of Dogtown is peopled by widows, orphans, spinsters, scoundrels, whores, free Africans, and “witches.” Among the inhabitants of this hamlet are Black Ruth, who dresses as a man and works as a stonemason; Mrs. Stanley, an imperious madam whose grandson, Sammy, comes of age in her brothel; Oliver Younger, who survives a miserable childhood at the hands of his aunt; and Cornelius Finson, a freed slave. At the center of it all is Judy Rhines, a fiercely independent soul, deeply lonely, who nonetheless builds a life for herself against all imaginable odds. Rendered in stunning, haunting detail, with Anita Diamant’s keen ear for language and profound compassion for her characters, The Last Days of Dogtown is an extraordinary retelling of a long-forgotten chapter of early American life.
“Same pap, different mamas,” Sally fibbed so easily that Molly suddenly
wondered if “Phipps” was also a lie. “Huh,” she said, pegging them as strumpets
from the state of their shoes and the color of their skirts. “Well, you two sure as
hell ain't coming in my place. Get yourself down to the harbor or up to Dogtown
where you belong. And by the by,” she said to Molly, “your 'sister' don't look so
good.” Sally's face was pale green. “My down-belows are in a twist,” she said,
and doubled over.
UML for Developing Knowledge Management Systems provides knowledge engineers the framework in which to identify types of knowledge and where this knowledge exists in an organization. It also shows ways in which to use a standard recognized notation to capture, or model, knowledge to be used in a knowledge management system (KMS). This volume enables knowledge engineers, systems analysts, designers, developers, and researchers to understand the concept of knowledge modeling with Unified Modeling Language (UML). It offers a guide to quantifying, qualifying, understanding, and modeling knowledge by providing a reusable framework that can be adopted for KMS implementation. Following a brief history of knowledge management, the book discusses knowledge acquisition and the types of knowledge that can be discovered within a domain. It offers an overview of types of models and the concepts behind them. It then reviews UML and how to apply UML to model knowledge. The book concludes by defining and applying the Knowledge Acquisition framework via a real-world case study.

This book gives a practical approach to modeling and analyzing communication protocols using UML 2. Network protocols are always presented with a point of view focusing on partial mechanisms and starting models. This book aims at giving the basis needed for anybody to model and validate their own protocols. It follows a practical approach and gives many examples for the description and analysis of well known basic network mechanisms for protocols. The book firstly shows how to describe and validate the main protocol issues (such as synchronization problems, client-server interactions, layer organization and behavior, etc.) in an easy and understandable way. To do so, the book considers and presents the main traditional network examples (e.g. unidirectional flows, full-duplex com-munication, error recovering, alternating bit). Finally, it presents the outputs resulting from a few simulations of these UML models. Other books usually only focus either on teaching UML or on analyzing network protocols, however this book will allow readers to model network protocols using a new perspective and integrating these two views, so facilitating their comprehension and development. Any university student studying in the field of computing science, or those working in telecommunications, embedded systems or networking will find this book a very useful addition.

ENUMERABLE SETS* G. S. CEfllN §1. The purpose of this article is to describe a
mathematical formalism which for certain applications of the theory of algorithms
may be more convenient than normal algorithms, Turing machines, etc. For
example, in constructive analysis one often needs to prove the existence of
algorithms which operate in a prescribed manner. In many cases, the very
description of the ...
