The hit cybersecurity book featured on Business Insider! https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/defense-and-deception-a-book-by-cybersecurity-architect-kevin-cardwell-puts-forth-new-paradigm-on-protecting-networks-1032914234?op=1 The reason I decided to write this book is to show that we have to rethink how we look at security. We continue to use the same methods and the threat continues to evolve and bypass it, so we need to understand we need a paradigm shift and this book is to help you with this shift. The book takes you from the essential and fundamentals of defense required to protect our modern networks to the advanced concepts of segmentation and isolation to mitigate the risk, then we introduce you to the methods of deploying deception decoys on the network. With this book, you will learn how to flip the model. For years, we have listened to the statement "the attackers are at the advantage, because they only have to find one way in and we cannot secure every way in." This is true, but with the concepts covered in this book you can flip the model and turn the advantage to the defender, and as a result, you take control of your network! One packet is all we need to identify when they are within our network! We can control the path and route that the attackers pursue and simulate and present a replication of the required data within the segment while moving the real data to a safe location.

I decided to write these police stories to share with others and to give some insight into how police work and feel. I described real events from my view as a police officer. I also considered the perspectives of others affected by police actions and inactions. For those who are thinking about a career in law enforcement, I hope that this book provides some information to assist you with this serious decision. For those who are already in law enforcement, I hope this helps maintain high levels of honor and commitment. I also hope you accept that you have flaws in your organization and bring it to a higher level. Motivating hardened police officials to raise standards and to motivate peers is a formidable challenge. By reading this book, I hope that citizens and law enforcement personnel will expect high standards in the law enforcement professionals serving their community. I hope that this book either helps you improve the integrity in your organization or encourages people without integrity to find another career. With utmost respect for those who do this job well, G. Michael Sanborn

I believe that most of you would feel that an older bachelor coming into possession of a briefcase packed with Benjamins and then, in quick succession, meeting a beautiful alluring woman would believe that to be a dream come true. It could be, but what if it turned out to be fatal? Is Mr. Nice Guy prepared to deal with hardened criminals on their terms and maybe even prevail?

On a late summer's eve, in a small Nebraska town, a multitude of dragonflies gathered around a pear tree to partake in a feast of insects. The sound of their wings sounded like music as they moved in a spiral motion that seemed magical, and we danced with dragonflies.

Ask anyone what it means to fulfill life's destiny, and the answer they will give will almost always be, "You choose to make your own destiny." I did mention the word almost. When you are a spirited four-year-old boy with high aspirations whose Christian namesake was that of a coldhearted pimp, most would agree that your destiny was set on a predetermined course. Terry Christopher Carney was born into a legacy of male hustlers, gangbangers, and criminal masterminds, all of whom conveniently resided in the same household. When destiny's odds are stacked highly against you, one must ask oneself, "Is there really such a thing as the universe giving you a choice?" This book is a living reflection of one boy whose destiny took him down a harsh yet poignant path to manhood. Life can be a dream for some, but for Terry, it was a challenge.

This book is about my experience with the child support system in Ohio and how I met many obstacles dealing with the mother and the court system. It covers a fifteen-year battle with the mother and how it affected my family and my children's lives. Imagine being ordered to pay $1,200 a month for two children out of a monthly salary of $2,100 when you already are caring for an older child. Well that is what happened to me. I write about the key points throughout the process where I defy and then try to cooperate with the court, which led to my being charged with a felony for nonpayment and then imprisonment after a plea agreement had been reached, which the court did not honor. I talk about my time in prison and some of how the system works. I also detail how this affected my children, who were trying to establish a relationship with me before and after I got out of prison. At the end of the book, I write a proposal to change the child support system from one that is punitive to one that is a cooperation between parents that can eliminate the court completely based on what I tried to establish in my relationship with the mother. I offer a plan that will hopefully bring fathers back into their children's lives by presenting a solution that is focused on the child instead of being punitive to a parent. This book is needed now because not only does it affect the people of lower income like myself, but I often hear rich celebrities complain about how the child support system needs to be changed. The object of the book is not only to make the system equal for both parents but to also keep fathers in the lives of their children.

Richard appeared to be an ordinary, active adolescent. He had been attending public school, with some difficulty, even though his intelligence was in the average range. At a glance, no one would suspect he had any problems. But Richard was not normal. He had Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). When the brother of Sherry T. Ford suddenly died, she became the legal guardian of his two sons, ages eleven and thirteen. This is her story about the older nephew, Richard, and how his mother's prenatal alcohol consumption permanently damaged his brain. Despite that there is a wealth of information on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), Fetal Alcohol Effect (FAE), and Alcohol Related Neurological Disorders (ARND), false claims about the effect of prenatal drinking continue, and the danger of prenatal alcohol exposure remains a threat to the baby in utero. Because the symptoms of FAS are not always easily identifiable to physicians and psychologists, misdiagnosis is frequent. Richard had significant physical and behavioral manifestations, yet FAS was never even considered. Sherry hopes that her journey and search for answers will help other families in both identifying and averting the syndrome. Every day, children are born with FAS through no fault of their own--a condition that is permanent and 100 percent preventable. This story is true and tragic. Sherry is optimistic that it will trigger awareness about the consequences of prenatal drinking. She believes that every child born should have a chance to reach their full life potential.

The book is a coming-of-age story related to my grandparents' and parents' generations. I enjoyed listening to the stories of how my parents lived as teenagers and young adults, the skillset that they had which helped them make a way for themselves when they arrived in the City of Detroit, Michigan, in the fall season of 1952, a City which had at that time a population around 1.8 million people. Many people, like my parents, left small towns in the deep South, wanting a better opportunity for work and living. Education and a chance to build a better life for their children caused them to press their way to the big city.

The sixty-six books of the Holy Scripture were written by many penmen, over a space of fifteen centuries, yet it is one book and has one voice speaking through all its pages. The Bible is the word of God. It's very different from the sacred books of non-Christian religions. In those writings, it is man speaking about God; in the holy scriptures, it is God speaking to man. Reading this book, Truth, will provide you with further insights into the word of God.

Would you risk your life to follow your dreams? I did. Only I didn't know it at the time. For years, I longed to be a surrogate. I offered for friends struggling with fertility, even before I had my own children. My heart has always hurt for women who yearned for a family that their bodies couldn't give them. After completing our family, my husband and I embarked on the journey of getting matched with a hopeful couple who couldn't conceive. We did, and what unfolded over the next few months was something no one could have expected, even putting my and the baby's lives in danger. I survived by the grace of God, started writing, and these are my memoirs of a surrogate. -Melissa
