In recent years the volume of hospitals and the health sector entities that that have fallen victim to hackers has continued to rise at an alarming rate. With each breach there are empty promises and finger pointing while the organizations attempt to attribute the hack to a bad actor like Deep Panda based off of exploit kit components that were used in a previous breach. Where are they getting their information? Who knows and who cares because it's almost always wrong and attribution is typically a waste of time as it is an attempt to take the responsibility and public outrage off of the hospital or healthcare organization's lack of proper cybersecurity hygiene and non-existent cybersecurity culture.When one takes a closer look at the actual problem in order to remedy a scalable solution the most profound reality is the pure lack of cybersecurity training in perfectly applicable environments where students are learning health IT, healthcare informatics, nursing and HIPPA. The fact that cybersecurity hygiene is an afterthought rather than an academic course in the health sector should have the victims of these breaches rioting in the street, yet there is a deafening silence on this topic of educational reform. I'm not saying that a full on curriculum covering Advanced Persistent Threat intricacies such as hacker tool kits, exploits, droppers, remote access trojans or how to forensically investigate code. But, perhaps it may be useful, while studying a technical topic to add a few ingredients of cybersecurity to, keep tens of millions of innocent people from having their health records exfiltrated by bad actors wishing to do them harm.This book series is intended to introduce the reader to healthcare informatics, health IT and HIPAA while simultaneously enhancing this information with cybersecurity content. Cybersecurity hygiene and an active and thriving cybersecurity-centric culture should be the foundation of patient record privacy and information security training in the health sector work place.

The riveting story of the submarine force that helped win World War II by ravaging Japan’s merchant fleet and destroying its economy.THE WAR BELOW is the riveting story of the submarine force that helped win World War II in the Pacific by ravaging Japan’s merchant fleet and destroying the nation’s economy. Focusing on the unique stories of three of the war’s top submarines—Silversides, Drum, and Tang—James Scott takes readers beneath the waves to experience the determination, heroism, and tragedy that defined the submarine service. From the thrill of a torpedo hit on a loaded freighter to the terror of depth charge attacks that shattered gauges and sprang leaks, The War Below vividly re-creates the camaraderie, exhilaration, and fear of the brave volunteers who took the fight to the enemy’s coastline. Scott recounts incredible feats of courage—from an emergency appendectomy performed with kitchen utensils to the desperate struggle of sailors to escape from a flooded submarine trapped on the bottom—as well as moments of unimaginable tragedy, including an attack on an unmarked enemy freighter carrying 1,800 American prisoners of war. The casualty rate among submariners topped that of all other military branches. The war claimed almost one out of every five subs—and a submarine crewman was six times more likely to die than a sailor onboard a surface ship. But the submarine service accomplished its mission; Silversides, Drum, and Tang sank a combined sixty-two freighters, tankers, and transports. So ravaged from the loss of precious supplies due to the destruction of the nation’s merchant fleet were the Japanese that by the war’s end hungry civilians ate sawdust while warships lay at anchor due to lack of fuel and pilots resorted to suicidal kamikaze missions. In retaliation, the Japanese often beat, tortured, and starved captured submariners in the atrocious prisoner of war camps. Based on more than 100 interviews with submarine veterans and thousands of pages of previously unpublished letters and diaries, The War Below will let readers experience the battle for the Pacific as never before.

Reminiscent of Patrick deWitt’s The Sisters Brothers and Gil Adamson’s The Outlander, a powerful debut about a mother’s devastating obsession and a son’s search for answers in the wake of a violent tragedyIn the winter of 1897, a trio of killers descends upon an isolated farm in upstate New York. Midwife Elspeth Howell returns home to the carnage: her husband and four of her children, murdered. Before she can discover her remaining son, Caleb, alive and hiding in the kitchen pantry, another shot rings out over the snow-covered plains.Twelve-year-old Caleb nurses his mother back to health, cleaning her wounds and keeping her fed, before they leave their home to seek retribution on the men who committed this heinous crime. As they travel from country to town to hunt the murderers, Elspeth is forced to confront her deepest secrets and question her role in her family’s destruction, while Caleb must navigate the dark places in which killers might reside. The search for vengeance becomes entangled in old lies and past mistakes as mother and son plunge headlong into the unknown future that lies ahead.The Kept introduces Caleb Howell, an old-beyond-his-years character in the tradition of True Grit’s Mattie Ross and All the Pretty Horses’s Jimmy Blevins; Elspeth Howell, a character as complex and compelling as those of Marilynne Robinson or Michael Ondaatje; and James Scott, a striking new voice in contemporary fiction.

This work seeks to look beyond the seemingly endless deadlock in the WTO’s Doha round of trade negotiations that began in November 2001 and were first scheduled to conclude by January 1, 2005. As well as offering an incisive analysis of the ills of the round, with particular attention directed at the poorest and least developed countries, the book expands on how the round could be moved forward elaborating on the Statement on the Doha Development Agenda that was negotiated in Johannesburg . The work as a whole provides the reader with a critical analysis of the implications of the negotiations for development and poverty reduction as well as proposals for moving beyond the current impasse. The volume brings together contributions from serving and former ambassadors to the WTO, key practitioners, and civil society representatives along with those of leading scholars. Each chapter explores an area of critical importance to the round; and together they stand as an important contribution to debates not only about the Doha round but also about the role of trade in the amelioration of poverty in the poorest countries.
