Java, or the Java Runtime Environment, is one of those applications that many Windows computers worldwide have installed. According to the Java website "97% of Enterprise Desktops Run Java" and "89% of Desktops (or Computers) in the U.S. Run Java" . If such figures can be believed, then deploying, updating and managing Java in an enterprise environment is of certain interest to IT administrators. Given the security concerns associated with Java and the frequency of new Java releases, IT administrators need to have a robust solution that allows new versions of Java to be deployed in a timely manner, control which version/s of Java are installed in your environment, and allows you to control the configuration of Java across all your machines. The purpose of this book is to demonstrate how Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager can be used to accomplish this. A 3rd-party patching solution for Configuration Manager can help with the deployment and updating of Java, however it is possible to build an efficient and reliable solution using native Configuration Manager capability, together with PowerShell. Each organization will have their own requirements for Java, but this guide presents a detailed, step-by-step demonstration of how Configuration Manager can be used to: 1. Deploy Java Runtime, 32-bit by default and 64-bit where required 2. Ensure that only the version you are deploying is installed, and remains installed across all your machines (exceptions permitted) 3. Ensure that Java is configured according to the security settings required in your environment, across all machines 4. Update Java to a new version in an easy-to-use, automated process As a bonus, we will also demonstrate a custom deployment report with Microsoft Excel that will allow easy, real-time monitoring of your Java deployments. The solution presented in this guide does not represent the only way to deploy Java using Configuration Manager and PowerShell, but it does demonstrate the capability of both to meet the business requirement.

Originally published in 1976, this book describes one of the most important and colourful episodes in black Africa's twentieth-century history. Kwame Nkrumah, the dynamic leader who brought Ghana to independence in 1957, abandoned the Westminster model of representative government to which his country once seemed so well suited. He reached out towards the goals of Pan-Africanism and socialism, emphasizing the primacy of political action to regenerate his people and their continent. But his vision of the 'political kingdom' led quickly to the destruction of his Republic and his hopes. Using the (then) latest evidence to examine political life, parliament, civil service, farmers, workers and army in Ghana's first Republic, the author argues that Nkrumah's experiment failed because his rule was strong enough to distort traditional values but was unable to transform them. The result was a bizarre and paralysing mixture of despotism and anarchy which defied political analysis in conventional terms.

Detective Inspector Ian Hutchinson was called from his office in Nottingham to investigate a suspected murder. The naked body of a man lay quietly in the bath. There was no water, just blood. It could have been a suicide but the DI knew instantly that it was murder. The body had too many cuts and stab wounds. Plus, there was no sign of a weapon. So, just another murder to solve. Nothing unique about it except for the mess. But, as the investigation progressed, clues were uncovered and everything changed. Each clue led to a new crime, each more complex and reprehensible than the last but each linked. It seemed that everything started with the body in the bath but, as more arrests were made, DI Hutchinson was still no nearer to finding the killer. What was he missing?

Fifty-six years. That's how long we had been married when Kay died. I was at a loss. My life felt upside down. No purpose. No goal. I was alone. After doing as much cleaning, purging, and organizing in our Northport, Michigan, home as I could, I decided a road trip was in order. I would pack up Susie, my 1998 Suburban with over 200,000 miles, and drive through Michigan's Upper Peninsula and into Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, and the Dakotas. The adventures I had and the people I met along the way changed my life-in ways I could never have imagined.

This book tells the incredible story of the War Dog program as seen through the eyes of Major, a World War Two soldier dog.At the beginning of the program, without a ready supply of dogs to train, the U.S. government asked civilians throughout the region to volunteer their dogs for service. Thousands answered the call, and their pets served our country courageously as guards, scouts, messengers, sled runners, and more. Told from the point of view of Major, a border collie based on a real dog from North Dakota, Major: A Soldier Dog tells the incredible story of the War Dog program through his eyes, following him through the heartbreaking separation from his family, the training at Fort Robinson, his harrowing war service in Italy, his return home for detraining and discharge, and finally the wonderful reunion with his family.
