  In his book, Rasmus Rasmussen provides a full account of the Viking's [1893] journey from Norway to Chicago from a crew-member's point of view. The trip was not without peril and hardship. Their accommodations were crude. The weather, at times, threatened their very lives. Most cities rolled out the red carpet to meet them, but one rolled out the paddy wagon. All together, an informative journal and a delightful read, and one that compels reflection and awe of the exploits of our Viking ancestors. - Paul A. Anderson, Honorary Norwegian Consul General 
  Rasmussen's diary recounts the historic journey made by twelve courageous seamen aboard Viking and includes his personal experiences during and after the Fair [1893 Chicago World's Fair]. Viking is the first Viking ship to sail in nearly 1,000 years, showing the world that Leif Erikson could have reached the New World almost 500 years before Columbus. 
  The Addendum continues the story of Viking and brings the reader up to date on the most recent preservation accomplishments. - Friends of the Viking Ship, NFP

  Veronica is a grotesque monster with or without her clothes. At least that's what she's always been told, and when she sees her twisted body in the mirror every day, she knows it to be true. 
   Kept out of the sight of everyone, she grows up isolated and unfamiliar with how a normal person should behave. When she accidentally reveals her distorted frame to the undergardener on her eighteenth birthday and he is not revolted, she takes the first tentative steps in a journey of sexual awakening that knows no bounds. But as she settles into her private exploration of sensual pleasure with the few people she can trust, the outside world forces itself into hers, threatening to destroy the only enjoyment she has come to know. A classic new tale of erotica set in a past that never was, written with unrestrained sensuality and delightful wit. 
  This audiobook contains regular scenes of a graphic and descriptive sexual nature and is therefore suitable only for a mature adult audience.

  Social Engineering -...

  Social engineering is the art of manipulating individuals into divulging confidential or personal information by exploiting their psychological vulnerabilities. Unlike traditional forms of hacking, which rely on technical skills to break into systems, social engineering takes advantage of human behavior to gain access to sensitive data. Whether through deceit, persuasion, or psychological manipulation, social engineers often prey on an individual’s trust, emotions, or fear, making it a more subtle yet highly effective form of attack. This introduction will explore what social engineering is, its methods, and why it has become such a significant threat in today’s digital landscape. 
  The core idea behind social engineering is simple: it is the manipulation of people rather than technology. In this approach, an attacker bypasses security measures and instead focuses on exploiting the weakest link in any organization or system—the people. These attacks can take many forms, ranging from phishing emails to impersonating authority figures, all designed to get the victim to willingly provide information, click on malicious links, or take actions that compromise their security. The success of social engineering relies not on breaking through firewalls or hacking encryption systems but on exploiting the trust and naivety of human beings. 
  Social engineering attacks can have serious consequences, especially as more of our personal and professional lives move online. Cybercriminals can gain access to sensitive personal information, financial data, or corporate secrets, leading to identity theft, financial loss, or damage to an organization’s reputation. In the corporate world, social engineering is often used as a gateway to larger cyberattacks. For instance, once an attacker gains access to an employee’s credentials through a phishing scheme, they can infiltrate company systems, potentially compromising valuable data.

  Westover, a girls' high school in Middlebury, Connecticut, has evolved from a finishing school for the Protestant elite, including F. Scott Fitzgerald's first love, to a meritocracy for pupils of many religions and races from all around the world. The fascinating account of the ups and downs of this female community is the subject of Laurie Lisle's well-researched and beautifully illustrated book. It tells an important story about female education during decades of dramatic social change in America. 
  This school for girls was founded in 1909 by emancipated New Women. The author describes the innovations of the idealistic minister's daughter who founded the school, her intellectual successor who turned it into a college preparatory school in the 1930s, the quiet headmaster who struggled to keep it open during the turbulent 1970s, and the prize-winning mathematics teacher, wife, and mother who then lead the school into a new era.

  FROM THE FOUNDER OF THE GLOBAL 1000 HOURS OUTSIDE MOVEMENT

  But there is a solution: get outside!  
   
  A homeschooling mother of five and the founder of the global 1000 Hours Outside movement, Ginny Yurich explains how we got to this point--and how to get back to a healthier, more engaging relationship with the world outside.  
   
  With a mom's heart and an educator's eye, Ginny shows you 
  ● the importance of unstructured play for children 
  ● what boredom actually contributes to our brains 
  ● the value of sunlight and social play 
  ● the role of play in lifelong learning 
  ● how to make time outside more attractive than screen time 
   
  If you want your kids to grow up curious, resilient, and with a sense of adventure and community, it's essential to make outside play a priority. This book shows you why and how.
