Book excerpt: Clay Tyler, former Iceman for Axis military intelligence, has been hired by the wealthy heir of Tiano-Song Empirix to locate a young woman who apparently doesnt want to be found. But as he struggles to understand the shroud of mystery surrounding this assignment, it becomes increasinglyand dangerouslyclear that TSE are not the only ones looking for her. Who is Truman Ferry, and what does she have that everyone wants? So begins an interstellar chase that crosses paths with a starship, The Bateau Ivre, captained by a young Terran national and the electronic ghost of his dead sister, Clays former wife; with the Giordano Bruno Resistance, a terrorist cabal fighting the chokehold of Solarian hegemony; and a smooth and elegant charmer, Rhay Sterling, who knows exactly who Truman Ferry is, and her value to a budding galactic struggle. The light of every star, says an Iceman slogan, leads to Earth, and it is back to Terra Alba and the Solarian enclave that all the parties find themselves rushing, each one seeking something different: art, commerce, techno-espionage, power, justification, and that most fragile and unstable of elements, love.

Book excerpt: Clay Tyler, former Iceman for Axis military intelligence, has been hired by the wealthy heir of Tiano-Song Empirix to locate a young woman who apparently doesn't want to be found. But as he struggles to understand the shroud of mystery surrounding this assignment, it becomes increasingly --- and dangerously --- clear that TSE are not the only ones looking for her. Who is Truman Ferry, and what does she have that everyone wants? So begins an interstellar chase that crosses paths with a starship, The Bateau Ivre, captained by a young Terran national and the electronic ghost of his dead sister, Clay's former wife; with the Giordano Bruno Resistance, a terrorist cabal fighting the chokehold of Solarian hegemony; and a smooth and elegant charmer, Rhay Sterling, who thinks he knows exactly who Truman Ferry is, and her value to a budding galactic struggle.

Book excerpt: User passwords are the keys to the network kingdom, yet most users choose overly simplistic passwords (like password) that anyone could guess, while system administrators demand impossible to remember passwords littered with obscure characters and random numerals.Every computer user must face the problems of password security. According to a recent British study, passwords are usually obvious: around 50 percent of computer users select passwords based on names of a family member, spouse, partner, or a pet. Many users face the problem of selecting strong passwords that meet corporate security requirements. Too often, systems reject user-selected passwords because they are not long enough or otherwise do not meet complexity requirements. This book teaches users how to select passwords that always meet complexity requirements. A typical computer user must remember dozens of passwords and they are told to make them all unique and never write them down. For most users, the solution is easy passwords that follow simple patterns.

Book Synopsis The Click Moment by : Frans Johansson

Download or read book The Click Moment written by Frans Johansson. This book was released on 2012-08-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the story of every great company and career, there is one defining moment when luck and skill collide. This book is about making that moment happen. According to Frans Johansson’s research, successful people and organizations show a common theme. A lucky moment occurs and they take advantage of it to change their fate. Consider how Diane von Furstenberg saw Julie Nixon Eisenhower on TV wearing a matching skirt and top, and created the timeless, elegant wrap-dress. That was a “click moment” of unexpected opportunity. Johansson uses stories from throughout history to illustrate the specific actions we can take to create more click moments, place lots of high-potential bets, open ourselves up to chance encounters, and harness the complex forces of success that follow.
