Download or read book Anticipating Criminal Behaviour written by Peter A. M. G. Kock and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first decade of this century, the focus of law-enforcement agencies has shifted from prosecuting crime to anticipating crime. This approach emphasizes the discovery of narratives in crime-related data. However, while narratives are at the mainstay of entertainment, law, and politics, a scientific method by which narratives can be created - and subsequently be used to anticipate criminal behavior - still has to be established. In the creative industry, a narrative is generated by a scenario. A scenario describes the interactions between the characters and includes information - about behavior, goals, motivations, modi operandi, and resistances - that have to be overcome. Furthermore, a creative scenario is composed by a limited number of scenario components. In this book, a new and innovative scenario model is designed by which narratives in data can be detected. It introduces the ESC12 - the twelve Elementary Scenario Components - by which every conceivable narrative can be created. Moreover, the book introduces the ESC12 scenario model, a model that may support law enforcement agencies to effectively anticipate criminal behavior. The book's author, Peter A.M.G. de Kock, graduated as a filmmaker from the Film Academy of the Amsterdam School of the Arts in 1994, and has traveled all over the world as a professional photographer, cameraman, and film-director. In 2009, after receiving a Master degree in Criminal Investigation, he introduced creative scenarios to anticipate (terrorist) attacks. The operational results of his team were thought provoking, and he was invited to demonstrate his method of operation to prominent members of Dutch Parliament and the Ministry of Security and Justice. He was then offered the opportunity to pursue the use of scenarios to anticipate crime, as an external Ph.D. student at Tilburg University. This book is the result of his study.

Download or read book Ford Flathead Engines written by Michael Herman and published by CarTech Inc. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although not the first V-8 engine ever produced, Henry Ford's side-valve V-8, launched in 1932, certainly qualified as the first mass-produced V-8 sold to the public. Because of Henry Ford's stubbornness, the first versions were less than ideal. The technology was in its infancy and cost-cutting measures limited the output and reliability of the early models. Over time, however, the "Flattie" became the go-to powerplant for a whole generation of new hobbyists who were called "hot rodders." The engine maintained its position in the hobby well into the 1950s, even when more modern overhead-valve designs started coming out of Detroit. It's hard to overstate the impact that this simple little engine had on a whole generation of enthusiasts. Even today, people choose a flathead for period-correct builds over far more powerful options. The style and sound of a modified flathead is an iconic part of American history. In Ford Flathead Engines: How to Rebuild & Modify, veteran author Tony Thacker and flathead guru of H&H Flatheads, Mike Herman, take you step-by-step through rebuilding a vintage flathead. One of the most important steps is to actually find a good, usable core; many have been sitting for a very long time and the engine design is prone to cracking. Running changes are also an important consideration when selecting a core, and include cooling system, ignition, and transmission mount. After you have selected a core, Thacker and Herman take you through the entire process of a rebuild, including teardown, parts inspection, machine shop processes, replacement part selection, re-assembly, start up, and break-in. Also covered is a unique performance build completed at the H&H shop for legendary race car team manager and all-around enthusiast Ray Evernham. It all adds up to more than 500 color photos and insider tips on building what could be called the most iconic engine ever built, the Ford flathead V-8.
Download or read book Becoming the Beach Boys 1961 1963 written by James B. Murphy and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-06-08 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They were almost The Pendletones--after the Pendleton wool shirts favored on chilly nights at the beach--then The Surfers, before being named The Beach Boys. But what separated them from every other teenage garage band with no musical training? They had raw talent, persistence and a wellspring of creativity that launched them on a legendary career now in its sixth decade. Following the musical vision of Brian Wilson, the Beach Boys blended ethereal vocal harmonies, searing electric guitars and lush arrangements into one of the most distinctive sounds in the history of popular music. Drawing on original interviews and newly uncovered documents, this book untangles the band's convoluted early history and tells the story of how five boys from California formed America's greatest rock 'n' roll band.
Download or read book GM Passes Ford 1918 1938 written by Arthur J. Kuhn and published by Penn State University Press. This book was released on 1986 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dramatic story of how upstart General Motors got ahead of pioneer Ford--and has stayed ahead--is told here along with an explanation of GM's success. This book argues that GM won the race by designing a successful performance-control system, in harmony with cybernetic principles and systems theory, under the leadership of Alfred Sloan and his expert team. Henry Ford, the passionate individualist, meanwhile established a losing tradition described by the author as anti-team, anti-expert, and anti-system. GM's recent difficulties, according to Dr. Kuhn, are a result of its lapse from early policies. In 1921 Ford held the largest share of a market ever attained by a single manufacturer, 59%, while GM had slipped from about 20% to 15%. Starting in 1924, GM climbed to over 40% of the market, a share it has held ever since, while Ford fell to about 10%. GM has outperformed Ford even more sharply in return to shareholders. The author, however, does not gloss over GM's weaknesses, especially its "laggard performance" in consumer safety and its "tunnel vision" in product development. Although the concepts of "steermanship" and "inquiring systems" were not set forth theoretically until after 1938, GM's leaders applied these concepts organizationally during the boom-and-bust 1920s and 1930s. Most of the book describes the affinities and clashes of personality leading to GM's adoption and Ford's rejection of a performance-control system. The final chapters describe GM's generally superior performance but show why GM, in spite of that, has had difficulties in meeting recent challenges. Here is exciting history with a compelling message.

Download or read book Stink Wheel Saga written by David Beare and published by . This book was released on 2004-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The latest Stinkwheel reprint is of The Stinkwheel Saga, Episode 2 v3, first published in 2008. The original book has been updated with new information received since the first edition was published and now contains many colour images, revised page layouts and text corrections carried out in the light of new information that became available since 2008.This second Episode covers the lost-causes of British cyclemotoring; the late arrivals (after the clip-on cyclemotor’s ship had already sailed...), the small-scale imports, the under-funded, the home-made, technically over-complicated and ephemeral machines which would have stood little chance commercially, had they ever achieved volume production. Many were nevertheless very interesting and owrthy of study. A wealth of period archive material illustrates the long-lost 1950s world of power-assisted cycling.Some large-scale, long-established motorcycle manufacturers – who should have known better – (BSA, Vincent, Tube Investments...) launched themselves into the market of clip-on cyclemotors, either far too late or with poorly-developed engine units, with a singular lack of commercial success. Read all about these heroic failures, together with some surprising successes from the proverbial two-men-in-a-shed businesses.
