Elles ne sont pas soeurs… elles sont Soeurs. Leur petite communauté, au coeur de la France, subsiste – difficilement – grâce au délicieux chocolat qu’elles produisent. Mais si elles manquent le rendez-vous au fin fond de la Colombie, la part de fèves de cacao qui leur est réservée sera immédiatement attribuée à d’autres. Quittant leurs habits monastiques, elles se retrouvent dans la forêt amazonienne, face à des bandits qui convoitent leur trésor de fèves. Prêtes à tout pour sauver leur communauté, elles vont changer d’identité, jouer du revolver, chanter et danser dans un cabaret infesté de malfrats… Une aventure haletante et pleine...

Aimed at forward-thinking software developers and IT managers, Software for Your Head: Core Protocols for Creating and Maintaining Shared Vision provides an innovative set of procedures and reusable "patterns" for improving the way teams work together. This book\'s amalgam of the lingo of software patterns and management theory (and even New Age and popular psychology) helps make the text one of the most challenging you\'ll ever read about team building. Based on the authors\' considerable experience with Microsoft and their simulated developer boot camps run with hundreds of teams, this book eschews providing practical evidence drawn from real projects. Instead, it formulates a unique vocabulary of terms, protocols, and patterns that...
The root of computer vulnerabilities, and the proper place to address them, say Thompson (director of security technology at Security Innovation LLC) and Chase (security architect, SI Government Solutions) is at the software level. In this work, they provide advice to software developers on how to avoid the code flaws that lead to security vulnerabilities and to testers on how to detect such vulnerabilities. They discuss problems that allow system level attacks, data parsing, information disclosure, connection vulnerabilities, and browser security. The CD-ROM contains the code and projects from the book\'s various examples, as well as a number of open-source security testing tools.
Sushi (n. m.): spécialité japonaise à base de poisson presque vivant roulé dans du riz froid, peu calorique (en tout cas moins qu`une pizza), apprécié des femmes souhaitant se donner bonne conscience. Dédaigné des adolescents qui lui préfèrent le hamburger (plus facile à mâcher), et des hommes qui lui préfèrent n`importe quoi recouvert de fromage (comme la pizza), le sushi est un plat raffiné qui prend toute sa saveur avec le la sauce soja. Consommé en groupe, il n`empêche pas de crier, de rire, de s`énerver ou de pleurer la bouche pleine, ce qui en fait un met prisé pour sa convivialité. Traditionnellement, on définit par...

The operating principle was random selection: positions of public power were decided by a sophisticated lottery and when the magnetic lottery bottle twitched, anyone could become the absolute ruler of the world, the Quizmaster. But with the power came the game - the assassination game -which everyone could watch on TV. Would the new man be good enough to evade his chosen killer? Which made for fascinating and exciting viewing, compelling enough to distract the public`s attention while the Big Five industrial complexes ran the world. Then, in 2203, with the choice of a member of a maverick cult as Quizmaster, the system developed a little hitch… Solar Lottery was Philip `s first published novel, brilliant and idiosyncratic, powerful and...

A catastrophic, unexplainable plane crash leaves three hundred and thirty dead - no survivors. Among the victims are the wife and two daughters of Joe Carpenter, a Los Angeles Post crime reporter. A year after the crash, still gripped by an almost paralyzing grief, Joe encounters a woman named Rose, who claims to have survived the crash. She holds out the possibility of a secret that will bring Joe peace of mind. But before he can ask any questions, she slips away.

His search immediately leads him into the path of a powerful and shadowy...
