  City livability refers to the quality of life experienced by individuals living in urban areas. It encompasses a wide range of factors that contribute to the overall well-being of urban residents, from physical infrastructure to social, economic, and environmental conditions. The livability of a city is shaped by its ability to provide access to essential services, promote a sense of community, ensure safety, and foster opportunities for growth and development. It is a reflection of how well a city meets the needs of its inhabitants, both in terms of their immediate surroundings and their broader quality of life. 
  At its core, livability is about the balance between convenience, comfort, and sustainability. In urban environments, where high population densities often lead to challenges such as congestion, pollution, and inequality, creating a livable city is crucial for ensuring that residents not only survive but thrive. It is not just about basic services such as healthcare, education, and transportation but also about creating spaces where people can connect, engage with their surroundings, and find opportunities for personal and professional fulfillment. 
  The concept of city livability is also deeply intertwined with urban planning and design. How a city is structured – its streets, buildings, parks, and neighborhoods – directly impacts its livability. A well-planned city can promote walkability, offer green spaces for recreation, reduce noise and air pollution, and ensure efficient access to transportation networks. Conversely, poorly designed cities may suffer from overcrowded and polluted areas, limited green spaces, and inadequate public infrastructure.

  While some professions—including medicine, law, and engineering—have wholeheartedly embraced wide-ranging codes of ethics and conduct, the field of cybersecurity continues to lack an overarching ethical standard. This vacuum constitutes a significant threat to the safety of consumers and businesses around the world, slows commerce, and delays innovation. 
   
   
   
  The Code of Honor: Embracing Ethics in Cybersecurity delivers a first of its kind comprehensive discussion of the ethical challenges that face contemporary information security workers, managers, and executives. Authors Ed Skoudis, president of the SANS Technology Institute College and founder of the Counter Hack team, and Dr. Paul Maurer, president of Montreat College, explain how timeless ethical wisdom gives birth to the Cybersecurity Code which is currently being adopted by security practitioners and leaders around the world. 
   
   
   
  This practical book tells numerous engaging stories that highlight ethically complex situations many cybersecurity and tech professionals commonly encounter. It also contains compelling real-world case studies—called Critical Applications—at the end of each chapter that help the listener determine how to apply the hands-on skills described in the book.

  This book consists of 4 titles, which are: 
  1 - Chemical Engineering: Chemical engineering is a multidisciplinary field that integrates principles from chemistry, physics, mathematics, and economics to tackle complex challenges across a diverse range of industries. At its core, chemical engineers focus on efficiently harnessing, transforming, and transporting chemicals, materials, and energy on a large scale. This involves not only designing and optimizing processes but also understanding the fundamental properties of substances and the underlying mechanisms governing their behavior. 
  2 - Electrical Engineering: Electrical engineering is a diverse and dynamic field that involves the study, design, and application of equipment, devices, and systems that use electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. It encompasses a wide range of sub-disciplines, including power engineering, electronics, control systems, signal processing, and telecommunications. 
  3 - Industrial Designs: Industrial design plays a pivotal role in modern industry by significantly influencing product functionality, aesthetics, user experience, and market competitiveness. One of the primary contributions of industrial design is the enhancement of product functionality and usability. Designers achieve this by thoroughly understanding user needs and behaviors, which allows them to create products that are intuitive and easy to use. This not only boosts customer satisfaction but also reduces the demand for customer support. 
  4 - Mechanical Engineering: Mechanical technology encompasses a broad spectrum of techniques and tools used in the design, analysis, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. This field merges principles from physics, engineering, and materials science to create and improve machinery and devices that perform specific functions.

  The Scariest Planets We've Ever...

  The universe is filled with wonders, but some of its most fascinating worlds are also the most terrifying. While Earth offers stability, warmth, and an atmosphere that sustains life, countless exoplanets lie scattered across the galaxy with conditions that defy imagination. These distant worlds are not just inhospitable—they are the stuff of nightmares.  
    
  The discovery of these hostile planets has revealed just how extreme nature can be. Some are scorched by relentless heat, while others are locked in frozen desolation. Toxic gases, deadly storms, and crushing gravity make these worlds far more menacing than anything we might encounter on Earth. Exploring these terrifying planets is not just about uncovering their horrors; it’s about understanding the universe itself.  
    
  One key factor that determines a planet’s hostility is its proximity to its star. Planets that orbit too close are often scorched by intense radiation, while those too far away freeze in endless darkness. But even planets in stable orbits can become dangerous if their atmospheres are packed with poisonous chemicals or if they experience violent weather patterns. Some worlds are plagued by hurricane-force winds that rip across the surface, while others endure storms of molten glass that shred everything in their path.
