Book excerpt: Hidden in plain sight, a new breed of humanity mingles among the masses of the ordinary. Unable to die, they live on vibrantly as their most perfect physical selves. Should death visit them, it is only of temporary effect. They resurrect whole in mere days. This new breed of "Eternals" stands to inherit the Earth when all mortal humans return to dust. Larger questions remain unanswered. What has brought about this change? What is the origin of the magic genetics that makes it all possible? And what lies in the heart of the man generously offering the cure for death, free of charge, to all who desire it? His name is James Carpenter, a man of extraordinary ability, charisma and influence. He appeared seemingly out of thin air, to ascend rapidly into a role of global prominence. A connection may lie in a clandestine research project begun in the 1980's by pioneer geneticist Adeline Brandt in conjunction with the Vatican. Under the guise of authenticating archival relics, she discovered something among the treasure trove of religious artifacts belonging to two millennia. Something she has kept only to herself. Something only she would know how to bring to life. But, there are always the skeptical, those with a healthy curiosity for anything smacking of utopia. As the Eternals class begins to emerge and grow, these doubters privately discover disquieting knowledge that may challenge the apparent altruism of Carpenter and his expanding following. They suspect Carpenter's motivations may lie in darker places, shrouded behind the apparent bliss of eternal, flawless life. But proof is elusive and time is running out. Included in the skeptics is one of Carpenter's closest associates, Alex Traeger. The unassuming architect, surprisingly taken under Carpenter's wing for reasons unrevealed, is torn as more disturbing signs are unveiled. He decides he must find a way to stop Carpenter's plan. But, how does one undo eternity? ?

Sample Book Insights: #1 The men were recruited to hit as many ATMs as possible in the Indian city of Kolhapur, and they did. By 10 p. m. , the operation was over. They handed the cash to their bosses and pocketed their share. They were paid up to $500. #2 The Lazarus Group, a hacking unit, is believed to be behind the August heist. They have co-ordinated attacks on international banking systems with breath-taking efficiency. North Korea’s government hackers have become some of the most effective and dangerous on the planet. #3 North Korea’s financial situation has become increasingly dire since the 1990s, when the country began developing nuclear weapons. The country has little chance of making money legitimately, so it has turned to crime to fund itself. #4 The hackers accessed the bank’s ATM withdrawals system, and began to send staccato messages across the globe to make sure that the right person was getting the right amount of money. This system is the reason why you can visit any ATM in the world and receive cash, even if the ATM isn’t run by the bank where you have your account.

This book was released on 2024-03-15 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every industry has faced the tidal wave of 'digital' that has either re-shaped or dramatically altered their modus operandi. Supporting technologies in the management information systems arena have given rise to increased end to end visibility, real time access to information, and tightly controlled monitoring of deployed assets. In many industries it is straightforward to see the impact that digital technologies have had. Finance is a great example, with cash payments becoming increasingly less and less common, and digital currencies increasing in prominence. Yet how has this impacted supply chain management? In a discipline that spans multiple industries, continents, and companies, are there examples that we can point to that explain how digital supply chains have become? Which aspects of supply chain management were transformed by the digital tidal wave, and which functions are lagging behind? This is what this volume seeks to address.Trends: what are the current trends in digital (or digitalization) supply chain management? Ideally, these trends will include all aspects of the supply chain. That is, how has the digital revolution impacted sourcing? What are the digital trends in the logistics, warehousing, and distribution industry? How has 'digital' impacted the operations and manufacturing industry? Challenges: where are the diminishing returns to digital and its inclusion in the supply chain? Are there problems related to procurement and sourcing as the digital revolution takes hold? Are logistics challenges compounded in a digital world? Is manufacturing more streamlined or are there additional complexities that need to be addressed?Solutions: Are the challenges all too overwhelming, or are there remedies that we can advance to cope with an ever increasingly digital world?

Download or read book The Lazarus Files written by Matthew McGough and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deeply-reported, riveting account of a cold case murder in Los Angeles, unsolved until DNA evidence implicated a shocking suspect – a female detective within the LAPD’s own ranks. On February 24, 1986, 29-year-old newlywed Sherri Rasmussen was murdered in the home she shared with her husband, John. The crime scene suggested a ferocious struggle, and police initially assumed it was a burglary gone awry. Before her death, Sherri had confided to her parents that an ex-girlfriend of John’s, a Los Angeles police officer, had threatened her. The Rasmussens urged the LAPD to investigate the ex-girlfriend, but the original detectives only pursued burglary suspects, and the case went cold. DNA analysis did not exist when Sherri was murdered. Decades later, a swab from a bite mark on Sherri’s arm revealed her killer was in fact female, not male. A DNA match led to the arrest and conviction of veteran LAPD Detective Stephanie Lazarus, John’s onetime girlfriend. The Lazarus Files delivers the visceral experience of being inside a real-life murder mystery. McGough reconstructs the lives of Sherri, John and Stephanie; the love triangle that led to Sherri’s murder; and the homicide investigation that followed. Was Stephanie protected by her fellow officers? What did the LAPD know, and when did they know it? Are there other LAPD cold cases with a police connection that remain unsolved?

Download or read book Cyber Resilience written by Sergei Petrenko and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-09-01 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern cyber systems acquire more emergent system properties, as far as their complexity increases: cyber resilience, controllability, self-organization, proactive cyber security and adaptability. Each of the listed properties is the subject of the cybernetics research and each subsequent feature makes sense only if there is a previous one.Cyber resilience is the most important feature of any cyber system, especially during the transition to the sixth technological stage and related Industry 4.0 technologies: Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cloud and foggy computing, 5G +, IoT/IIoT, Big Data and ETL, Q-computing, Blockchain, VR/AR, etc. We should even consider the cyber resilience as a primary one, because the mentioned systems cannot exist without it. Indeed, without the sustainable formation made of the interconnected components of the critical information infrastructure, it does not make sense to discuss the existence of 4.0 Industry cyber-systems. In case when the cyber security of these systems is mainly focused on the assessment of the incidents' probability and prevention of possible security threats, the cyber resilience is mainly aimed at preserving the targeted behavior and cyber systems' performance under the conditions of known (about 45 %) as well as unknown (the remaining 55 %) cyber attacks.This monograph shows that modern Industry 4.0. Cyber systems do not have the required cyber resilience for targeted performance under heterogeneous mass intruder cyber-attacks. The main reasons include a high cyber system structural and functional complexity, a potential danger of existing vulnerabilities and “sleep” hardware and software tabs, as well as an inadequate efficiency of modern models, methods, and tools to ensure cyber security, reliability, response and recovery.
