Previously published at The Octopus We believed he had died from an overdose. There was no reason to suspect otherwise . . . When Elspeth is invited to her ex-husband Richard's fiftieth birthday party, she's expecting a star-studded event for the famous British film director, full of A-listers and hangers-on. But she arrives to find just seven other carefully selected guests in attendance. A surreal evening ensues, orchestrated by the charming yet manipulative host, culminating in what will surely become a night to remember . . . Because by morning, Richard will be dead, and every guest a suspect.

The death of JFK, Jr., - accident or assassination? Exploding the Truth: The JFK, Jr. Assassination presents evidence of a conspiracy to assassinate the only surviving son of President John F. Kennedy and considers the motives that many powerful forces had, to make sure he never set foot in the White House. Divided into two parts, Part One examines the potential motives the Bush family, the C.I.A., and perhaps even Israeli intelligence, had to eliminate JFK, Jr. Part Two systematically dismantles the official version of events, that JFK, Jr., crashed his plane due to pilot error, and examines both the evidence of a government cover-up at the crime scene, and the extensive eyewitness reports of an explosion that brought the aircraft down.

Karla Clark's You Be series continues with You Be Teacher, a humorous and tender story about educators and all they do for their students. Teacher is simply too tired to be Teacher today! She taught the seasons, then got splattered with paint and smeared with glue. She even bandaged a student’s boo-boo. All this before noon ! This exhausted teacher playfully tries to convince her students to fill her shoes for the day so she can take a much-needed break.In a story with notes of tenderness and some very relatable humor, a devoted teacher knows what really matters at the end of the day: the care and well-being of her students. Now more than ever, we're aware of all that teachers do for us and future generations, receiving very little in return. You Be Teacher embodies the true giving nature of educators, with a heartfelt thank-you in its conclusion. Autorid: Karla Clark, Gabby Zapata

Design and develop high-performance software solutions by using concurrent and asynchronous techniques provided by the most modern features in C++20 and C++23Key Features:- Learn how to use modern C++ features, including futures, promises, async, and coroutines to build asynchronous solutions- Develop cross-platform network and low-level I/O projects with Boost.Asio- Master optimization techniques by understanding how software adapts to machine hardware- Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBookBook Description:As hardware advancements continue to accelerate, bringing greater memory capacity and more CPU cores, software must evolve to adapt to efficiently use all available resources and reduce idle CPU cycles. In this book, two seasoned software engineers with about five decades of combined experience will teach you how to implement concurrent and asynchronous solutions in C++.You'll gain a comprehensive understanding of parallel programming paradigms-covering concurrent, asynchronous, parallel, multithreading, reactive, and event-driven programming, as well as dataflows-and see how threads, processes, and services are related. Moving into the heart of concurrency, the authors will guide you in creating and managing threads and exploring C++'s thread-safety mechanisms, including mutual exclusion, atomic operations, semaphores, condition variables, latches, and barriers. With this solid foundation, you'll focus on pure asynchronous programming, discovering futures, promises, the async function, and coroutines. The book takes you step by step through using Boost.Asio and Boost.Cobalt to develop network and low-level I/O solutions, proven performance and optimization techniques, and testing and debugging asynchronous software.By the end of this C++ book, you'll be able to implement high-performance software using modern asynchronous C++ techniques.What You Will Learn:- Explore the different parallel paradigms and know when to apply them- Acquire deep knowledge of thread management and safety mechanisms- Understand asynchronous programming in C++, including coroutines- Leverage network asynchronous programming by using Boost.Asio and Boost.Cobalt- Add proven performance and optimization techniques to your toolbox- Find out how to test and debug asynchronous softwareWho this book is for:This book is for developers who have some experience using C++, regardless of their professional field. If you want to improve your C++ skills and learn how to develop high-performance software using the latest modern C++ features, this book is for you.Table of Contents- Parallel Programming Paradigms- Processes, Threads, and Services- How to Create and Manage Threads in C++- Thread Synchronization with Locks- Atomic Operations- Promises and Futures- The Async Function- Asynchronous Programming Using Coroutines- Asynchronous Programming Using Boost.Asio- Coroutines with Boost.Cobalt- Logging and Debugging Asynchronous Software- Sanitizing and Testing Asynchronous Software- Improving Asynchronous Software Performance
