A Guide On Visiting The Bahamas
A brief guide on "Visiting The Bahamas" i.e. Nassau.
Fractures, Fluid Flow and Mineralization
Hydrothermal mineralization is usually structurally controlled so it is important to understand the role of faulting and fracturing in enhancing rock permeability and facilitating fluid flow and mass transfer. This is the main theme of this interdisciplinary volume and the papers included are intended to provide an overview of current ideas at the interfaces of structural geology, fluid flow and mineralization research.
The Art of Monitoring
A hands-on and introductory guide to the art of modern application and infrastructure monitoring and metrics. We start small and then build on what you learn to scale out to multi-site, multi-tier applications. The book is written for both developers and sysadmins. We focus on building monitored and measurable applications. We also use tools that are designed to handle the challenges of managing Cloud, containerised and distributed applications and infrastructure. In the book we'll deliver: * An introduction to monitoring, metrics and measurement. * A scalable framework for monitoring hosts (including Docker and containers), services and applications built on top of the Riemann event stream processor. * Graphing and metric storage using Graphite and Grafana. * Logging with Logstash. * A framework for high quality and useful notifications * Techniques for developing and building monitorable applications * A capstone that puts all the pieces together to monitor a multi-tier application.
This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things
Internet trolls live to upset as many people as possible, using all the technical and psychological tools at their disposal. They gleefully whip the media into a frenzy over a fake teen drug crisis; they post offensive messages on Facebook memorial pages, traumatizing grief-stricken friends and family; they use unabashedly racist language and images. They take pleasure in ruining a complete stranger's day and find amusement in their victim's anguish. In short, trolling is the obstacle to a kinder, gentler Internet. To quote a famous Internet meme, trolling is why we can't have nice things online. Or at least that's what we have been led to believe. In this provocative book, Whitney Phillips ...
Monitoring with Prometheus
Learn how to implement metrics-centric monitoring with Prometheus. This introductory book teaches you how to use Prometheus to monitor hosts, applications, and services. We cover installation, basic monitoring, service discovery, alerting, log monitoring, scaling, and visualization. Includes introducing you to monitoring basics, methodologies and approaches. Learn how to monitor in a metric-centric world including building dynamic thresholds, basic anomaly detection, monitoring aggregation, and federation. We'll look at how to apply modern patterns like Google's Four Golden Signals, the USE method, and the RED method. We cover monitoring Kubernetes, Docker containers, databases, and we look at instrumenting applications and integrating logging. We focus on the particular challenges of monitoring highly dynamic, transitory environments and new architectures like microservices. We focus on monitoring in the Cloud, including looking at service discovery and monitoring for Cloud platforms.
Terry Pratchett
The extraordinary life story of one of the most beloved writers in the world, including his courageous battle with Alzheimers With worldwide sales of more than 65 million copies in 37 languages, Terry Pratchett's novels are eagerly awaited by his legions of fans year after year.

For devoted fans it features appendices of more than 60 pages listing Pratchett's works on screen and at the theatre, a complete UK bibliography and collector's guide, and a note about cats.
Mineral Deposits and Earth Evolution
Mineral deposits are not only primary sources of wealth generation, but also act as windows through which to view the evolution and interrelationships of the Earth system. Deposits formed throughout the last 3.8 billion years of the Earth's history preserve key evidence with which to test fundamental questions about the evolution of the Earth. These include: the nature of early magmatic and tectonic processes, supercontinent reconstructions, the state of the atmosphere and hydrosphere with time, and the emergence and development of life. The interlinking processes that form mineral deposits have always sat at the heart of the Earth system and the potential for using deposits as tools to understand that evolving system over geological time is increasingly recognized. This volume contains research aimed both at understanding the origins of mineral deposits and at using mineral deposits as tools to explore different long-term Earth processes.
Communicating about Risks and Safe Use of Medicines
At the core of this book lies the question how to approach medicines, risks and communication as a researcher - or anybody planning and evaluating a communication intervention, or wanting to understand communication events in private and the media. With a view to tackle current shortcomings of communication systems and processes for improved implementation, patient satisfaction and health outcomes, a multilayered approach is presented. This combines multiple data types and methods to obtain a wider and deeper understanding of the major parties and their interactions, as well as the healthcare, social and political contexts of information flows, how they interfere and which impact they have. ...
Competences for Pharmacy Education and Practice in Europe
One of the main aspirations of the European Union (EU) is the development of a pan-European health system with unhindered access to quality care, in all member states. The PHAR-QA "Quality Assurance in European Pharmacy Education and Training" project explored the realities surrounding this idea in the area of pharmacy. This book assembles a series of papers, already published in the journal "Pharmacy", that describe the project: its origins, design, implementation, results, interpretation, and perspectives.
