Discover how to fortify the weakest link in your cybersecurity chain with the help of an industry cyber expert. In the age of information, malicious phishing is a significant threat to corporations within the retail industry. Yet many executives fail to understand a simple truth - most security education awareness training does not provide employees with the right kind of knowledge on how to recognize and prevent cyberattacks.

Twelve Enchanting Nursery Rhymes: A Young Boy's Everyday Life Every kid is full of imagination. Whether it’s having fun with family, playing with their best friends, or inventing new stories for their toys and animals, life for a child is one big adventure! In Twelve Enchanting Nursery Rhymes, this adventure is showcased through playful poetry. Each nursery rhyme is sung to a young boy, at bedtime.

Each poem stands alone as is its own story, or can be read as a single poem with a flowing story. Some of the poems are silly, some are exciting, and all are sweet. They are perfect for bedtime, especially for babies and toddlers. The fun rhymes and quirky stories make this book a favourite for little ones.

With a simple, witty story and free-spirited illustrations, Peter H. Reynolds entices even the stubbornly uncreative among us to make a mark -- and follow where it takes us. Her teacher smiled. "Just make a mark and see where it takes you." Art class is over, but Vashti is sitting glued to her chair in front of a blank piece of paper. The words of her teacher are a gentle invitation to express herself. But Vashti can't draw - she's no artist. To prove her point, Vashti jabs at a blank sheet of paper to make an unremarkable and angry mark. "There!" she says. That one little dot marks the beginning of Vashti's journey of surprise and self-discovery. That special moment is the core of Peter H. Reynolds's delicate fable about the creative spirit in all of us.

As Kate DiCamillo would say: Reader, it is your destiny to find out.

A tale of love, money, and family conflict--among dragons. A family deals with the death of their father. A son goes to court for his inheritance. Another son agonises over his father's deathbed confession. One daughter becomes involved in the abolition movement, while another sacrifices herself for her husband.

In which the great and the good avail themselves of the privilege of killing and eating the weaker children, which they do with ceremony and relish, growing stronger thereby. You have never read a novel like Tooth and Claw.    

"Am I a person?" Borne asked me. "Yes, you are a person," I told him. "But like a person, you can be a weapon, too." In  Borne , a young woman named Rachel survives as a scavenger in a ruined city half destroyed by drought and conflict. The city is dangerous, littered with discarded experiments from the Company—a biotech firm now derelict—and punished by the unpredictable predations of a giant bear. Rachel ekes out an existence in the shelter of a run-down sanctuary she shares with her partner, Wick, who deals his own homegrown psychoactive biotech. One day, Rachel finds Borne during a scavenging mission and takes him home. Borne as salvage is little more than a green lump—plant or animal?—but exudes a strange charisma. Borne reminds Rachel of the marine life from the island nation of her birth, now lost to rising seas. There is an attachment she resents: in this world any weakness can kill you. Yet, against her instincts—and definitely again
