...Jimmy R Najjar Captain Denton ROTC MS 1.5 Class (Book Report) December 11, 2015 Cybersecurity and Cyberwar: What the world needs to know After everything that has been happening in the world, from the 9/11 takedown of the twin towers, to the shooting in Paris almost a month ago, the world has been drawn to attention to the extent of surveillance and cyber-espionage practiced by the US government, not only in relation to suspected terrorists but also in relation to the ordinary citizen. After reading Cybersecurity and Cyberwar, I feel like it comes at an interesting time in the history of security services world-wide, when the extent of inter-connectivity of every agency, corporation and individual makes cyber-surveillance easier to put into effect. The authors are experts in their field: Peter Singer is Senior Fellow and Director of the Center for 21st Century Security and Intelligence at the Brookings Institution, a former coordinator of Obama's defence policy task-force during the 2008 campaign and author of three other books on aspects of warfare. Allan Friedman is also a well-known expert in the field of information security and cyber-security, formerly Research Director for the Center for Technology Innovation at the Brookings Institution, and currently Visiting Scholar at George Washington University's Cyber Security Policy Research Institute. In other words, this is an authoritative text. In Cybersecurity and Cyberwar,...

...INTRODUCTION OF COMPANY Disney land is an American theme park in California owned and operated by the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts division of The Walt Disney Company. It opened on July 17, 1955 in ceremonies led by Walt Disney. The company was initially a jointly owned venture by Walt Disney Productions, Western Publishing, Walt Disney and the American Broadcasting Company to manage and built the Disneyland theme park. As a provision for the joint ownership, Walt Disney Productions had the option to repurchase the share within 7 years. In 1960, Walt Disney Productions completed the repurchase of all the share of the company and the theme park became a fully owned part of Walt Disney Productions. Currently the park has been visited by more than 515 million guests since it opened, including presidents, royalty and other heads of state. In 1998, the theme park was re-branded Disneyland Park to distinguish it from the larger Disneyland Resort complex. It’s a great Theme Park for all families. They can meet all their favorite characters there including all the princesses, villains, dwarfs, Mickey Mouse, other Disney characters and can enjoy lots of rides. How Disneyland differentiated from other places was that it had 'Walt Disney', the brain that totally changed the lives of people by adding magic to their lives. Walt Disney summarized his creativity in one word: Imagineering. The term “Imagineering” combines the words imagination and engineering. Imagineering enabled him...

How Would You Move Mount Fuji? gallops down entertaining sidepaths about the history of intelligence testing, the origins of Silicon Valley, and the brain-jockey heroics of Microsoft culture." — Michael Erard, Austin Chronicle "A charming Trojan Horse of a book While this slim book is ostensibly a guide to cracking the cult of the puzzle in Microsoft's hiring practices, Poundstone manages to sneak in a wealth of material on the crucial issue of how to hire in today's knowledge-based economy. How Would You Move Mount Fuji? delivers on the promise of revealing the tricks to Microsoft's notorious hiring challenges. But, more important, Poundstone, an accomplished science journalist, shows how puzzles can — and cannot — identify the potential stars of a competitive company.... Poundstone gives smart advice to candidates on how to 'pass' the puzzle game.... Of course, let's not forget the real fun of the book: the puzzles themselves." — Tom Ehrenfeld, Boston Globe "A dead-serious book about recruiting practices and abstract reasoning — presented as a puzzle game.... Very, very valuable to some job applicants — the concepts being more important than the answers. It would have usefulness as well to interviewers with a cruel streak, and the addicts of mind/ word games." — Michael Pakenham, Baltimore Sun "Poundstone offers canny advice and tips for successfully...

...this trend for more than the following decade. His first business product consolidation started when a man offered the company $300.00 to earn the right to apply figures of Mickey Mouse to paper towels for school children. During the 1940s most of their main films were created, including Pinocchio, Snow White, Dumbo and others. In 1955, the first Disneyland park opened its doors to the public in California. Over the following decades the World Disney Company started growing until what we know today, an international powerhouse and media entertainment corporation. The company has four major business ventures: consumer products, media networks, studio entertainment and parks and resorts, which will be discussed in the next sections of this report.

U.S. is not even there in the counting in top five! India has more money in Swiss banks than all the other countries combined! Recently, due to international pressure, the Swiss government agreed to disclose the names of the account holders only if the respective governments formally asked for it.. Indian government is not asking for the details... ..no marks for guessing why? We need to start a movement to pressurize the government to do so!
