In many respects, all wars are alike. All soldiers compete for position and mobility; all forces struggle for the larger territory, the greater power. Yet each war has as well its distinguishing characteristics--its unique features, its most-remembered events, its particular frustrations that haunt the dreams of its veterans. In Korea, it was the hills. The Korean hills offered observation, artillery, and mortar advantage to whichever country controlled them. On these hills, thousands of soldiers fought decisive battles for a few feet of land or ...

England is burning with Norman fires, and Tate-the youngest ever abbess of Far Hope Abbey-is determined to guard the abbey's ancient secrets with her very life.   Her life may be what it takes, however, for a Norman warlord known only as The Wolf is pillaging his way right to the abbey's doors.

As a young man, Andrew Murray wanted to be a minister, but it was a career choice rather than an act of faith. Not until he had finished his general studies and begun his theological training, in the Netherlands, did he experience a conversion of heart. In a letter to his parents, Murray wrote, 'Your son has been born again. … I have cast myself on Christ.' This 'casting of the self' became Murray's life theme. Sixty years of ministry in the Dutch Reformed Church of South Africa, more than 200 books and tracts on Christian spirituality and ministry ...

Hitler's favorite film was King Kong. The Blues Brothers is the only film ever that had a cocaine budget. Citizen Kane was booed at the Oscars every time one of its nominations were announced. Marlon Brando didn't read the script when he was shooting Apocalypse Now. Instead, he turned it into a hat. Sean Connery turned down the role of Gandalf in Lord of the Rings. He would've been paid $560 million. Although Hattie McDaniel won an Oscar for Gone with the Wind, she wasn't allowed to go to the premier because she was black. Edward Scissorhands was ...

This study investigates services with their unique characteristics that imply explicit considerations during implementation of service-oriented recommendation systems. Additionally, possible problems that service ...

Guilty pleasures in one's reading habits are nothing new. Late-nineteenth-century American literary culture even championed the idea that popular novels need not be great. Best-selling novels arrived in the public sphere as at once beloved and contested objects, an ambivalence that reflected and informed America's cultural insecurity. This became a matter of nationhood as well as aesthetics: the amateurism of popular narratives resonated with the discourse of new nationhood. In Guilty Pleasures, Hugh McIntosh examines reactions to best-selling ...

Edgar Cayce, America's "sleeping prophet," was one of the most active and trusted psychics of the 20th century.

In "The Outer Limits of Edgar Cayce's Power," his sons, Edgar Evans Cayce and ...

Information flow properties are a way of specifying security properties of systems. A system is viewed as generating traces containing "confidential" and "visible" events (only the latter being observable by a "low-level" user) and the information flow properties specify restrictions on the kind of traces the system may generate, so as to restrict the amount of information a low-level user can infer about confidential events having taken place (or not) in an execution. Mantel identifies "basic security predicates" or BSPs and shows them to be the building ...
