Download or read book The New Hacker s Dictionary third edition written by Eric S. Raymond and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1996-10-11 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of the hacker's own phenomenally successful lexicon includes more than 100 new entries and updates or revises 200 more. This new edition of the hacker's own phenomenally successful lexicon includes more than 100 new entries and updates or revises 200 more. Historically and etymologically richer than its predecessor, it supplies additional background on existing entries and clarifies the murky origins of several important jargon terms (overturning a few long-standing folk etymologies) while still retaining its high giggle value. Sample definition hacker n. [originally, someone who makes furniture with an axe] 1. A person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems and how to stretch their capabilities, as opposed to most users, who prefer to learn only the minimum necessary. 2. One who programs enthusiastically (even obsessively) or who enjoys programming rather than just theorizing about programming. 3. A person capable of appreciating {hack value}. 4. A person who is good at programming quickly. 5. An expert at a particular program, or one who frequently does work using it or on it; as in `a UNIX hacker'. (Definitions 1 through 5 are correlated, and people who fit them congregate.) 6. An expert or enthusiast of any kind. One might be an astronomy hacker, for example. 7. One who enjoys the intellectual challenge of creatively overcoming or circumventing limitations. 8. [deprecated] A malicious meddler who tries to discover sensitive information by poking around. Hence `password hacker', `network hacker'. The correct term is {cracker}. The term 'hacker' also tends to connote membership in the global community defined by the net (see {network, the} and {Internet address}). It also implies that the person described is seen to subscribe to some version of the hacker ethic (see {hacker ethic, the}). It is better to be described as a hacker by others than to describe oneself that way. Hackers consider themselves something of an elite (a meritocracy based on ability), though one to which new members are gladly welcome. There is thus a certain ego satisfaction to be had in identifying yourself as a hacker (but if you claim to be one and are not, you'll quickly be labeled {bogus}). See also {wannabee}.

Download or read book When We Do Harm written by Danielle Ofri, MD and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2020-03-23 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical mistakes are more pervasive than we think. How can we improve outcomes? An acclaimed MD’s rich stories and research explore patient safety. Patients enter the medical system with faith that they will receive the best care possible, so when things go wrong, it’s a profound and painful breach. Medical science has made enormous strides in decreasing mortality and suffering, but there’s no doubt that treatment can also cause harm, a significant portion of which is preventable. In When We Do Harm, practicing physician and acclaimed author Danielle Ofri places the issues of medical error and patient safety front and center in our national healthcare conversation. Drawing on current research, professional experience, and extensive interviews with nurses, physicians, administrators, researchers, patients, and families, Dr. Ofri explores the diagnostic, systemic, and cognitive causes of medical error. She advocates for strategic use of concrete safety interventions such as checklists and improvements to the electronic medical record, but focuses on the full-scale cultural and cognitive shifts required to make a meaningful dent in medical error. Woven throughout the book are the powerfully human stories that Dr. Ofri is renowned for. The errors she dissects range from the hardly noticeable missteps to the harrowing medical cataclysms. While our healthcare system is—and always will be—imperfect, Dr. Ofri argues that it is possible to minimize preventable harms, and that this should be the galvanizing issue of current medical discourse.

Download or read book Introduction to Critical Reflection and Action for Teacher Researchers written by Bernie Sullivan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-28 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to Critical Reflection and Action for Teacher Researchers provides crucial direction for educators looking to improve their teaching and maximise learning. While many students can grasp the basic elements of researching their practice and can write about practitioner research, some need guidance and assistance to reflect meaningfully on their teaching practice so as to articulate their educational values. This book provides this guidance. By exploring how to engage in an authentic, practical and personalised framework, the book encourages critical reflection and action on educational practice. Moving through the process of reflecting on practice, engaging in critical thinking and planning and taking action, it helps the reader to subsequently generate educational theory from their own personal learning. Examples from the authors’ experiences illustrate the issues raised in each section, with ‘Pause and Reflect’ activities, guidelines for conducting a research project and annotated further reading available for every chapter. Introduction to Critical Reflection and Action for Teacher Researchers is based on the idea that reflection is in itself a deliberate action and something we must live - it is key to understanding our practice and is a core component of action research. This book is a valuable guide for teachers, trainee teachers and researchers interested in reflecting on and enhancing their teaching practice.

Download or read book The Prisonhouse of Nations America written by Casey Luczak and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Centuries of foul play in the Department of Justice (DOJ) in this country, fortified through deceptive practices, has temporized the freedom of far too many innocent people with puritanical, senseless prison sentences. This reasoning is laced with a mythology rich in ideals that are spoon-fed to the American people by this country's political leaders-judges are infallible and neutral; the objective of all prosecutors is justice; public defenders serve the indigent, the poor, and the accused whose assets have been stolen by the government when they are arrested or raided; and anyone accused of a crime in this country is presumed innocent until proven guilty. "Sorry, Virginia, there is no Santa Claus." These are all myths employed by this government to perpetuate its business activities in the field of crime. Judges are opinionated with attitudes, and they conspicuously favor the government. The only objective of prosecutors is a conviction, and they will obtain it under any circumstances, just short of murder. Public defenders are an extension of the criminal justice system whose mission is constant-get the defendant to sign a plea agreement. The ministers of justice (those who appear in this writing) are not good people for the most part. Their power was wrongly used and did not follow justice; it preceded it. Hopefully, their exposure in the hastening of justice will finally lead them to the stepmother of misfortune. These ministers call themselves judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys-mere labels. Prisons should be for only the most serious federal crimes, not these fabricated acts prohibited by law this government creates for self-preservation. The DOJ's lies have become this country's heritage, are conveyed generationally, and have been accepted over time as status quo. We allow our legal caretakers to indict, convict, and sentence individuals under false pretenses. Plea agreements should be challenged as unconstitutional. The basic tenets of living in a free society are violated routinely when it comes to crime. While the government pretends to be interested in justice for the American people, it's nothing but a chicanery. This "public servant" has made a major business out of offenses against the law, and there seems to be no end in sight. It targets individuals and corporations gratuitously. This book brings to the forefront the sad truth of a deterioration of a criminal justice system that never was. These real experiences of pain and suffering against targeted innocent people is appalling, arousing aversion. There may be good judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys out there, but your chances of finding one are fifty-fifty. There exists the presumption that individuals are innocent until proven guilty. It's undoubted law, axiomatic and elementary. Its enforcement lies at the foundation of the administration of our criminal system. Somehow, though, this undoubted law of presumed innocence has been tossed to the wayside in the courts, though the government continues to teach it in the classrooms as it grooms our youths to join the "herd of sheep" called Americans. What once was elementary is now a complicated and convoluted field of law. America is the land of the free, after all. Does it really matter whether the DOJ bends the truth here and there to profit from crime? The DOJ keeps this prison house of nations filled through any way possible. Unfortunately, when the stench of this purported system of justice is traded for lies, the people's freedoms become diminished, never to return. The DOJ does as it pleases and keeps telling us how we are being protected by its unquestionable answers. Only when you personally get caught in this government radar will you realize the truth. Regrettably, by then, it will be too late. America's freedom, as guaranteed by the US Constitution, has been forfeited by a justice system more protective of its own power than its obligations to preserve the welfare of the populace. The Prison House of Nations-America exposes how this distorted system of justice operates, case by case, with facts. It illustrates how this mendacious interpretation of justice translates to loss for Americans-loss of life, loss of property, loss of freedom. The people suffer while this "public servant," created by the people, runs amok. The costs are staggering; the tail clearly wags the dog. Amidst this bleak revelation is a call to action. There's no blueprint to restore the DOJ to its intended role as an instrument to protect the people, for too much money is being made by those operating the system with beguilement and misdirection. About a hundred years ago, this government realized there is much more to get out of crime than simply chasing real criminals, and it has been proactive ever since. Be forewarned. The stories you are about to experience are all true, with real people so named. There remains no more places for these masked servants of justice to hide. These are stories of wrongly convicted and/or sentenced people. They were forced by this government to play this game with their very lives at stake, and they lost, hopefully only temporarily. Regrettably, at this moment in time, there is little hope for anyone entrapped in the government radar. This writing of collected anecdotes is intended to draw attention to crimes and prisons in this country, a subject matter the American public prefers to keep out of sight. Admittedly, the people can no longer afford to continue this demeanor. The author comes from the inside. He knows the system, he knows the law, and he can find flaws in any case. Prosecutors and judges make mistakes-first, because they employ misconduct when necessary to preserve a conviction and, second, because they are in a hurry, always in a hurry, which is when legal mistakes are made that lead to proper affirmative relief. Enjoy the read! Hopefully, when you finish, you will better appreciate the imminent danger of crime in this country-assuredly not because of the criminal action itself, but deplorably because of what follows. 1

Download or read book Kill Me Once Kill Me Twice written by Carol Shuman and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sixteen-year-old Rebecca Middleton and best friend Jasmine Meens make their "trip of a lifetime" to the Queen's "Jewel in the Atlantic," oblivious to secrets beneath the island's idyllic guise and to the horrors that await them on the dark side of Paradise. Sunny days and teal surf welcome the Canadian teenagers as they roam the twenty square miles of the seemingly pristine British territory. But on this searing July night, a full moon, an unusual storm, a cancelled cruise, absent taxis, and chance meetings end in the gruesome kidnap, rape, torture, and murder of Rebecca Middleton. Emotions left over from long-standing racial inequities impact Becky's case from the moment of her slaughter--especially the hangings of two black men for the murders of five white men during those racially charged 1970s--a matter many still prefer not to discuss. Repercussions from the young Canadian tourist's death and its investigative and judicial failures create international uproar that catches the attention of famed U.S. forensic scientists Dr. Michael Baden and Dr. Henry Lee. During an inquiry brought about by a tourist boycott of Bermuda, advocate LeYoni Junos exposes truths behind this tangled web of deceit. But it won't be long before LeYoni Junos suffers those consequences typically experienced by those who fail to "lie in the tide." Then, almost eight years after Rebecca's murder, the case catches the attention of British human rights lawyer Cherie Booth, QC, wife of former Prime Minister Tony Blair, who terms Bermuda's responses "repugnant to justice." Meanwhile, despite responsibility for territories' "good governance," Britain treads lightly. This is a true story of murder, collusion, conspiracy, and cover-up designed to protect the secrets of privilege, and hide the poverty, violence and drugs that darken Bermuda's tranquil pastels, a third-world setting of mysterious beauty and international influence incongruent with its size.
