  Darius I, more commonly known as Darius the Great, reigned as the third King of Kings of the Achaemenid Empire from 522 BCE until his death in 486 BCE. Under his rule, the empire reached its zenith, encompassing vast territories across Western Asia, parts of the Balkans (including Thrace, Macedonia, and Paeonia), the Caucasus, the Black Sea's coastal regions, Central Asia, the Indus Valley in the east, and portions of North and Northeast Africa, such as Egypt (Mudrâya), eastern Libya, and coastal Sudan. His reign marked a critical period of expansion and consolidation for the Persian Empire. 
  Darius ascended to power through a complex and controversial process. He orchestrated the assassination of Bardiya, the rightful heir to the throne, whom he claimed to be an impostor named Gaumata. Once in power, Darius turned his attention to strengthening and expanding the empire. One of the defining episodes of his reign was his campaign against Greece. This effort aimed to punish Athens and Eretria for their involvement in the Ionian Revolt. Although his forces suffered a significant defeat at the Battle of Marathon, Darius achieved notable victories elsewhere. He successfully reasserted Persian control over Thrace, annexed Macedon, and subjugated the Cyclades and the island of Naxos. His campaign also saw the destruction of Eretria, a Greek city.

  Ransom War - How Cyber Crime...

  This timely book explores the alarming rise of ransomware: malicious software blocking users from their systems or data until they've paid money to regain access or to prevent the release of sensitive information. High-profile British examples of the twenty-first century have targeted national libraries and healthcare organizations; in the US, hackers of Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley Health Network held patient data hostage—when their demands went unmet, they published topless photographs of women with breast cancer. 
   
   
   
  The issue presents formidable challenges and costs for businesses, national security and, as the Pennsylvania case showed, individuals—often society's most vulnerable. But we can watch and learn from cyber extortionists, leaving us better prepared for next time. In 2022, a series of devastating ransomware attacks prompted Costa Rica's president to declare a national emergency, describing a "state of war." This episode had much to tell us about how these networks arise, operate, organize—and collapse. 
   
   
   
  Max Smeets's landmark study demystifies the ransomware playbook, from funding to networking. Through one of the largest ransomware operations on record, he reveals how this challenge has evolved, how it differs in substance and style from traditional cyber/hacking threats, and how to combat it.

  Germanic Mythology - Legends...

  Germanic mythology is a rich tapestry of myths, legends, and folklore that reflects the beliefs and values of ancient Germanic peoples. Encompassing a variety of tribes, including the Goths, Vandals, Saxons, and Norse, this mythology served as a crucial part of cultural identity and social cohesion. It provided a shared narrative framework that connected communities, reinforcing a sense of belonging among individuals. 
  The importance of mythology in Germanic culture lies not only in its role in explaining natural phenomena and human experiences but also in its function as a moral and ethical framework that guided the behavior of individuals and communities. Myths served to articulate values such as honor, bravery, and loyalty, which were central to the warrior ethos of many Germanic societies. Through heroic tales, individuals were taught the significance of courage in the face of adversity and the importance of kinship and loyalty to one’s tribe.

  The Thriving Doctor - How to be...

  How can you protect your right to a balanced life in a profession that demands perfection? 
  Medical life is challenging. The culture is competitive, the environment intense, the machinery complex and unwieldy, and the expectations high. Under such constant stress, many doctors sacrifice their own wellbeing to try and provide the best possible care for their patients.  
  We've got it backwards. Only by first looking after yourself can you truly provide the best care for others. Non-clinical skills have untapped potential in providing both personal and - you guessed it - clinical benefits. Research has clearly shown that patient experience and patient health outcomes are better when doctors are compassionate and well themselves. 
  Thriving doctors have better rapport with others, make less errors and feel more satisfied and engaged in their work. Medicine has spent little energy helping doctors build their skills in communication, emotional regulation, mind management, leadership, and compassion. Coaching offers a way to immediately start bridging this known gap. 
  Coaching provides deep listening, powerful questions, and a view from outside the culture of medicine that notices different things.  
  You are a whole human, and it's time to treat yourself like it.
