A surly rome is banging on her doors for debt repayments, the kingdom is on the verge of a civil war, and the dying king's powerful advisors seek to discard her like a rag and control the kingdom through her brother.Now, the young regent must confront her adversaries and walk the tightrope over an abyss of treachery and conflict, because one wrong move means ending three thousand years of pharaonic rule and turning up as a corpse in the alexandrian marshes. Inside you will read about...The ptolemaic dynastyCleopatra as queenCleopatra and julius caesarMark antony and cleopatraPropaganda warsThe last pharaoh of egypt: cleopatra's suicideAnd much more The truth is that the queen was highly despised by the romans, and they were the ones that depicted her as a power-hungry ruler of egypt. Most historians who wrote about her were heavily influenced by the romans, who had managed to erase her side of the story. Most of her fingerprints, too, were gone, all lost to history, so it can be hard for readers who are curious about the egyptian queen to actually find an easy-to-read guide that tells her story.

The Sweet Potato Diet is for carb lovers who don't want to give up their favorite food group to lose weight. Best of all, you don't need to be a gourmet chef to excel at the diet, which includes dozens of easy and delicious recipes to incorporate sweet potatoes in dishes for meat, fish, poultry, vegetables, snacks, and shakes. When readers hear "carb cycling" they often think, "This is too complicated, I won't be able to do it." Michael Morelli takes the fear and stress away from traditional carb cycling by simplifying it down to one amazing carb. Sweet potatoes have a low GI index and are high in fiber, which keeps you fuller longer. By using this carb exclusively as the carbohydrate in carb cycling, it allows you to lose weight at your healthiest, quickest pace. The Sweet Potato Diet is no ordinary carb-cycling protocol. It follows two distinct phases to really sky-rocket your success. The Prep Phase (Phase 1) is designed to jump-start your fat-loss and set you up for success in Phase 2. You'll discover everything you need to know to begin losing weight immediately and to keep it off. The Carb Cycling Phase (Phase 2) is designed to help you continue burning fat and achieve your fat-loss goal. It sets you up for long-term, sustainable results and has been specifically designed to help you maintain 100% of your fat-loss results.
The Great War of Our Time: The CIA's Fight Against Terrorism--From al Qa'ida to ISIS
Like See No Evil and At the Center of the Storm, this is a vivid and gripping account of the Central Intelligence Agency, a life of secrets, and a war in the shadows. Called the "Bob Gates of his generation" by Politico, Michael Morell was a top CIA officer who played a critical role in the most important counterterrorism events of the past two decades. Morell was by President Bush's side on 9/11/01 when terrorists struck America and in the White House Situation Room advising President Obama on 5/1/11 when America struck back-killing Usama bin Ladin. From the subway bombings in London to the terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Morell always seemed to find himself on the cusp of history. A superb intelligence analyst and briefer, Morell now presents The Great War of Our Time, where he uses his talents to offer an unblinking and insightful assessment of CIA's counterterrorism successes and failures of the past twenty years and, perhaps most important, shows readers that the threat of terrorism did not die with Bin Ladin in Abbottabad. Morell illuminates new, growing threats from terrorist groups that, if unaddressed, could leave the country vulnerable to attacks that would dwarf 9/11 in magnitude. He writes of secret, back-channel negotiations he conducted with foreign spymasters and regime leaders in a desperate attempt to secure a peaceful outcome to unrest launched during the "Arab Spring." Morell describes how efforts to throw off the shackles of oppression have too often resulted in broken nation states unable or unwilling to join the fight against terrorism. Along the way Morell provides intimate portraits of the leadership styles of figures ranging from Presidents Bush and Obama, CIA directors Tenet, Goss, Hayden, Petraeus, Panetta, and Brennan, and a host of others.

'I began to view the world, not as a safe space that liberated imagination and contentment, but as a hazardous, toxic, risky, no-go area, where every act and decision came with hidden dangers. To protect myself from a dangerous world, I had to become more dangerous.' A Talent for Trouble is an energetic novel that sparkles with inspiration, irony and, above all, a fierce passion. In this post-modern biography, we meet and live through Eva; a radiant and rebellious dreamer; a provocative, unrelenting personality; with a magnetic charm, and an unquenchable thirst for curiosity, truth and dignity, in a wild world. We first encounter the young Eva as she struggles to adapt to life after losing everything, following her father's bankruptcy. Not long after leaving school, Eva's curiosity leads her to a dangerous liaison with a politician, who offers Eva the universe in exchange for her forbidden fruit. Eva's world, as she discovers, soon becomes a primal minefield of predators. It's a world of injustice, revenge and the abuse of power, where it must be ferociously fought with dignity, love and truth. As her dreams and security threaten to collapse around her, Eva vows to take control of her destiny. She is constantly forced to reinvent herself and explore her fantasies inside this labyrinthine, upside down, carnivalesque world of intrigue, shimmering, subversive discotheques, escort services, scandals, corruption and life as a devoted army wife. From her high school pranks to her adventures with controversial acquaintances and explosive love affairs, Eva's life is a raw, emotional display of courage in a post-truth society, where she finds herself at war with cover ups, deceptions and institutional hypocrisy. Beneath the hard exterior of the bold language, there's a precious and vulnerable side to the narrator, as explored during the climactic scenes with The General; which raises philosophical questions about honor, human nature, welfare, ethics and duplicity. Amid these assaults, Eva's character, self-belief and spiritual relationship to God remain strong. We are all Eva.

Theology, Ethics, and Technology in the Work of Jacques Ellul and Paul Virilio
This book examines biographical and textual connections between sociologist-theologian Jacques Ellul and philosopher-phenomenologist Paul Virilio. Through an examination of Ellul and Virilio’s embeddedness in the socio-historical context of postwar France, the book identifies a relationship between these critics of technology which constitutes a nascent theological tradition. The author shows from various vantage points how Ellul and Virilio’s nascent tradition exposes technology as modernity’s primary idol; and, how it uses multiple disciplines—including history, sociology, philosophy, phenomenology, theology, and ethics—to resist the perilous consequences of the modern world’s worship of power and the kinds of technologies this misdirected worship produces. Jacques Ellul’s death in 1994 and Paul Virilio’s death in 2018 may have prevented the maturation of this nascent theological tradition, but Theology, Ethics, and Technology in the work of Jacques Ellul and Paul Virilio aids this tradition’s ripening through the presentation of an illuminating way to read these two unique, and at times quixotic, intellectuals.

Desert, Wilderness, Wasteland and Word examines the significance of the desert from biblical, theological, and ethical perspectives. This is achieved primarily through the publication of Jacques Ellul's recently discovered, newly translated essay, which considers the theology of the desert. Prefaced by an enlightening introduction, and five incendiary essays which critically reflect on Ellul's work, this volume offers a fresh, provocative insight into Jacques Ellul's writing. Illuminating the relevance of Ellul's work for our present, Desert, Wilderness, Wasteland and Word offers readers an encounter with a new, revitalising biblical word.
Determinazione dell'efficienza del modello esponenziale-gamma
Una nuova famiglia di distribuzioni di probabilit continue chiamata Exponential-Gamma-X stata generata dalla trasformazione di una distribuzione di probabilit continua di nuova concezione chiamata Exponential-Gamma-X. Il nuovo Gamma Esponenziale stato studiato e sono state derivate anche espressioni per le sue propriet statistiche. Il metodo della massima probabilit stato utilizzato per stimare la forma e i parametri di scala della distribuzione. La nuova distribuzione sviluppata stata confrontata con le distribuzioni di probabilit esistenti, come le distribuzioni Esponenziale e Gamma, applicandola a quattro dati reali per illustrarne l'efficienza e la flessibilit . I risultati hanno mostrato che la distribuzione recentemente sviluppata per tutti i set di dati era inclinata a destra mentre la distribuzione si comporta in modo diverso in termini di curtosi, inoltre i risultati ottenuti per tutti i set di dati utilizzati hanno mostrato che la distribuzione recentemente sviluppata si comportava meglio delle distribuzioni esistenti. Infine, la nuova distribuzione di probabilit sviluppata stata trasformata in una famiglia di distribuzioni continue T-X denominata famiglia di distribuzioni Exponential-Gamma-X, generalizzando cos una nuova famiglia di distribuzione.
Anestetici locali in analgesia ostetrica. Il modello MLAC: dalla teoria alla pratica clinica
Questa monografia contiene una dettagliata descrizione del metodo MLAC e delle sue applicazioni e un'ampia ed aggiornata revisione degli studi più significativi sull'argomento e delle loro implicazioni cliniche. Gli studi che usano il metodo dell'allocazione sequenziale up-down hanno portato un contributo significativo al chiarimento di numerosi interrogativi che l'anestesista si pone quotidianamente in sala parto e oggi giustamente affiancano gli studi tradizionali rappresentando, insieme ad essi, la fonte primaria di aggiornamento e di conoscenze che sono indispensabili per una buona pratica clinica basata non solo sull'esperienza ma anche sull'evidenza ed il razionale scientifico.

"We cannot discount the risk, in light of the lessons of our own history, that at some point in the future, high-level government officials will decide that this massive database of extraordinarily sensitive private information is there for the plucking. Americans must never make the mistake of wholly 'trusting' our public officials."--The NSA Report This is the official report that is helping shape the international debate about the unprecedented surveillance activities of the National Security Agency. Commissioned by President Obama following disclosures by former NSA contractor Edward J. Snowden, and written by a preeminent group of intelligence and legal experts, the report examines the extent of NSA programs and calls for dozens of urgent and practical reforms. The result is a blueprint showing how the government can reaffirm its commitment to privacy and civil liberties--without compromising national security.

In the last two decades major reforms have been addressed to the broad Italian Public Sector, requiring the introduction of New Public Management-inspired ideas and tools, thus calling for further research in this field. The convergence of EU Countries towards the Euro deadline of December 31,2013 has also accelerated the managerial transformation process, as well as the consequent deployment in the Public Sector of techniques and practices widely adopted in the private sector. This refereed co-authored volume firstly introduces researchers, students and professionals into the characteristics of stakeholder and governance structures in public entities, and then guides them into different areas and issues of public sector organizations. Thus, the book seeks to provide a portrayal of the main challenges affecting different areas of Public Sector in Italy in a longitudinal manner. Accordingly, the volume initially analyzes some of the issues faced by the State bureaucratic apparatus and Regional governments, and it later provides examinations on Local Governments, Provinces, Public Transports, Healthcare and Universities. The book is built upon several years of research and teaching of the editor and co-authors in the Public Sector. This experience permitted them in some cases to also examine - within the common scientific borders of New Public Management ideas - the interrelations of Public Management and Accounting, as well as Human Resources Performance Management. Written and designed to provide a cross-areas examination of current Italian Public Sector issues and challenges, the volume provides a comprehensive investigation of a single Country, and contains not only robust theoretical insights but also recent empirical evidences of different case-studies investigated by the co-authors.
