"Fellow high school losers, use your video game money to buy this book! Simon Rich will make you relive the dread, the hilarity, and the insanity of those formative years like no one else. Open at your own peril!"—Gary Shteyngart There are things money can’t buy: integrity, honor, discipline. Unfortunately for Seymour Herson, he’s got a more pressing matter at hand: surviving eighth grade. He’s dead last in just about everything at Glendale, the Manhattan private school his parents are working so hard to keep him in. His grades are so low a C warrants a celebration. His athletic skill is limited to how much chocolate milk he can drink in one sitting. You’d think someone with such a...

; So I Walked
; So I Walked By: Karim Taylor In ; So I Walked, Karim Taylor focuses on to a time in life when she began to pay attentions to certain aspects of change. From 2010 to 2020, Taylor led a life of several traumatic experiences. From these traumatic moments, Taylor began to change her lifestyle to one of walking away as a way of attempting to speak to God, a way of remaining strong, a way to make it through to the next phase in her life. She describes in heartbreaking detail two attacks in particular of sexual spousal abuse and a forty-five-mile-per-hour jump from a moving vehicle and how she triumphed past these trials to maintain her identity and strengthening her faith in God. As God has made apparent, Karim Taylor is one of His greatest miracles.
Women Succeeding in the Sciences
Ample evidence has been provided that women historically have suffered numerous social, political, and institutional barriers to their entrance and success in the sciences. The articles in this anthology refocus the discussion and reflect the interdisciplinary nature of the issues surrounding women in the sciences. While the barriers that women have faced as researchers, subjects of research, students of science, and theorists have been well documented, this anthology breaks new ground. It presents the ways women succeed in the sciences, overcome these historical barriers, and contribute to the social practice of science and the philosophy of science in both theory and practice.
Installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC on Linux on System z
This IBM® RedpaperTM publication describes experiences gained while installing Oracle Database 11gR2 with Grid Infrastructure (GI). It covers the set up and installation process for these environments: Setting up Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 with DASD Setting up Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 with FCP/SCSI Setting up SLES11 with DASD Setting up SLES11 with FCP/SCSI disks Examples include the installation of the Grid Infrastructure, installation of a single instance database and installation of a two-node Real Application Cluster (RAC) database. In all cases, we use UDEV rules for DASD and single path SCSI, and multipathing for multi-path SCSI to provide device persistency for ASM storage, not ASMLib. Interested readers would include database consultants, installers, administrators, and system programmers. This is not meant to replace Oracle documentation, but to supplement it with our experiences while installing and using Oracle Database products. We made extensive uses of My Oracle Support notes.
The Last Ride of the Old Peacekeepers
The Last Ride of the Old Peacekeepers is a compilation of over 125 stories and pictures of some of the hilarious, dangerous, and emotional interactions that Bill Matthews enjoyed during his thirty years in law eenforcement. He recalls moments when he was called upon to put his life on the line as well as behind-the-scenes details that never show up in incident reports. He also takes stock of those decisions that happen in a moment inside a moment—decisions that can and do change lives forever. Most of all, he celebrates the brotherhood of officers that he loves. The stories he shares all occurred from 1977 to 2008, before the reformation of police departments when officers were taught to use their hands without hesitation—to save the lives of suspects, the public, as well as their fellow officers. The overall account serves as an important reminder that police officers are human beings that work tirelessly to put away the bad guys to keep everyone safe.
Breastfeeding and HIV/AIDS
The spread of the AIDS virus has introduced a new element into the formula-versus-breastfeeding controversy. Mothers, particularly those in developing nations, have been urged to breastfeed in order to better nourish their infants and protect them from disease or contaminants in the water used to prepare formula. Now, however, mothers and healthcare workers must consider the danger of transmitting AIDS via breastfeeding. When HIV-infected women nurse their children, they significantly increase the risk of transmitting the virus. The issue is further complicated in countries where the alternatives are not very promising and in cultures that stigmatize women for even undergoing AIDS testing. This informative analysis includes the development of research into HIV and breastfeeding, the medical and political questions surrounding the controversy, and options and solutions for women to consider in feeding their infants. Fully indexed, this book is an important contribution to the social and medical studies of one of the most tragic facets of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
TELASSAR AND SAMARRA
Earth's humans have discovered two inhabitable planets orbiting a binary star system. They recently received the "second gifts from the gods" which included an interstellar propulsion system. They knew the Pleiadians were also planning to invade the planets resulting in a race to get there before the enemy aliens. The occupation of Telassar was successful, but the invasion of Samarra proved much more difficult. The planet shifted on its axis at the same time the enemy landed to confront the Americans who were defending the planet. The blizzard conditions and the American paratroopers defeated the enemy aliens who then retreated to plan their next invasion of the outer planet Triadore.
