Book excerpt: After a disease ravages his underground community, Winter escapes with his daughters, Violin and Candlestick, to the upper world-a dangerous place called Earth. Winter fears what he will find there, but the planet is largely abandoned. With no understanding of how humans live, Winter must make sense of his surroundings while keeping his family alive. As Winter struggles through this dark, horrific journey, he weaves wild, zany tales to entertain and teach his daughters. Celebrities as demi-gods, Abe Lincoln the ice giant, and a host of other mythologies, keep Winter and his children going as the real world gets darker and scarier. Dangerous human survivors are hunting them, terrifying creatures are around every corner, and a deadly infection is spreading through Winter's blood. Time is running out, and he needs to find a safe place for his children to live. Will Winter keep his family alive long enough to finish his tales?

But she soon discovers her community held secrets, and a mysterious new villain with a changing face wants the truth to come out. Meanwhile, Candlestick embarks on a journey where she makes new friends, and faces forces of evil darker than she could ever imagine. With a growing power inside her, Candlestick will learn whether she has what it takes to survive on her own. In this sequel to the hit debut Winter's Myths, the legends grow wilder, the action more intense, and the darkness more horrific. Will Violin and Candlestick reunite before it's too late? Can they survive a world colluding against them? When life ends, who will finish the tales?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expert on computer privacy and security shows how we can build privacy into the design of systems from the start. We are tethered to our devices all day, every day, leaving data trails of our searches, posts, clicks, and communications. Meanwhile, governments and businesses collect our data and use it to monitor us without our knowledge. So we have resigned ourselves to the belief that privacy is hard--choosing to believe that websites do not share our information, for example, and declaring that we have nothing to hide anyway. In this informative and illuminating book, a computer privacy and security expert argues that privacy is not that hard if we build it into the design of systems from the start. Along the way, Jaap-Henk Hoepman debunks eight persistent myths surrounding computer privacy. The website that claims it doesn't collect personal data, for example; Hoepman explains that most data is personal, capturing location, preferences, and other information. You don't have anything to hide? There's nothing wrong with wanting to keep personal information--even if it's not incriminating or embarrassing--private. Hoepman shows that just as technology can be used to invade our privacy, it can be used to protect it, when we apply privacy by design. Hoepman suggests technical fixes, discussing pseudonyms, leaky design, encryption, metadata, and the benefits of keeping your data local (on your own device only), and outlines privacy design strategies that system designers can apply now.

This book was released on 2020-05-26 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Native American Mythology began long before the European settlers arrived on North American soil. The most popular of these myths usually are the ones dealing with Creation and Origins of people, places and things. These myths deal with both how the physical world as we know it came to be and how the many features of specific cultures originated. They cover areas of gods and man and why we were separated, where did the different races come from, and when did evil surface. Being there were so many different tribes with countless beliefs and customs, the only way to understand these beliefs is through understanding the Native American stories. In this book there is a wide landscape of different tribes that present a true look at these beliefs. Among the stories included in this anthology are: Creation of the First Indians, Creation of the Red and White Races, In the Beginning, How the Great Chiefs Made the Moon and the Sun, Origin of Fire, The First Moccasins, The Origin of Game and of Corn, The Origin of Medicine, The Origin of Summer and Winter, Origin of the Animals, Origin of the Buffalo, Origin of the Clans, Origin of the Sweat Lodge, The Origin of the Winds, The Origin of Yosemite, The Origin of Earth, Origin of the Lakota Peace Pipe, How the World Was Made, The First Fire, Origin of the Pleiades And the Pine, and many more.
