You’ll learn how to build enterprise-grade applications, automate repetitive tasks, and integrate Power Platform with Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, and third-party services. Real-world case studies, best practices, and step-by-step guidance equip you to implement governance, security, and compliance while ensuring long-term success.Whether you’re a business leader driving transformation, an IT professional managing enterprise automation, or a business analyst optimizing processes, this book provides a clear roadmap to leveraging Power Platform for scalable, AI-enhanced digital innovation.
John Buchan
Edward Leithen is a young British lawyer who learns that one of his Oxford contemporaries, Charles Pitt-Heron, has just disappeared. Leithen learns from Pitt-Herons wife that he has been forced to flee. But a series of strange events that follow Pitt-Herons disappearance convinces Leithen that he is dealing with a sinister secret society. His suspicions begin to center on a wealthy, well-known, and intelligent businessman, who reveals himself to Leithen as an ardent anarchist. The barrister finds himself the target of many watchers, and then, as his understanding of the conspiracy involving the Power House grows, he is trapped and chased unrelentingly. The Author, despite being very busy in Public Service, wrote over fifty books during his life but his particular talent was for writing fast-moving adventure stories. The Power-House, a good example of this genre, was published in 1916.
The Practical Network Engineer's Guide. Master routing, network diagnostics, and troubleshooting
Robert McMillen
Networks can bring an organization to a standstill when traffic stops flowing, but effective troubleshooting starts with understanding how that traffic should move.The Practical Network Engineer’s Guide connects essential networking theory with the skills needed to diagnose common connectivity problems. You will begin with networking fundamentals, including the OSI model, IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, subnetting, NAT, and the role of packets in network communication. You will then explore VLANs, static and dynamic routing, switching, and firewalls to understand how traffic moves between devices and networks.Building on these foundations, the book introduces practical approaches to assessing network problems and identifying their causes. You will examine common TCP/IP, home and corporate wireless, VPN, routing, switching, and firewall issues. You will also learn how Windows command-line utilities, PowerShell, Linux networking commands, routing tools, and Wireshark can support the diagnostic process.By combining routing fundamentals with realistic troubleshooting scenarios, this book will help you understand network behavior, investigate connectivity failures, and approach everyday network problems with greater confidence.

GPT-6 Astra is the most capable model OpenAI has deployed, and it does not prompt like the models you learned on. Where earlier models would guess, Astra asks. Where they would charge ahead, Astra stops for approval. Where they ignored bloated instruction files, Astra follows every line. The habits you built to compensate for weaker models are now quietly working against you.The Practical Prompt Guide for GPT-6 Astra explains why, grounded in OpenAI's official documentation, system card, and independent benchmark data. It shows how Astra's stronger alignment, instruction sensitivity, and new API behaviors shift the prompting relationship from compensation to coordination. You will learn a practical framework for designing prompts from scratch: defining objectives, scope and completion criteria; providing context and constraints that actually help; and specifying the outputs you want. You will master Astra's core behaviors, manage long-context and multi-step workflows, and tune reasoning effort to balance cost, latency, and quality.Across coding, research, and writing, the book gives you anti-patterns to avoid, ways to diagnose failures, and decision rules for when to build a custom prompt and when not to. By the end, you will prompt the most capable model OpenAI has released with reliability, confidence, and control.
James Fenimore Cooper
The Prairie: A Tale (1827) is a novel by James Fenimore Cooper, the 3rd novel written by him featuring Natty Bumppo. Civilization drives old hunter Natty Bumppo (Leatherstocking) west of the Mississippi to the prairies, where he becomes a trapper and helps a band of emigrants in their conflicts with Indians, miscreants, and the harsh environment. We find Hawkeye removed to the uncharted territory which would become Wyoming and the Dakotas. Having fled the relentless sound of axes hewing down his beloved forests in the east, the Leatherstocking is now in his eighties and has isolated himself in the land of the Pawnee, the Sioux and countless herds of buffalo. Culminating in a magnificently written death scene, The Prairie brings the old hunter full circle with images of his youth and reminiscences of the remarkable life which made him the prototype of the American Hero.
Hugh Walpole
This is the story of a Cambridge student, Olva Dune, who commits murder. Ironically, the moment he commits his crime, he feels the presence of God. Perhaps a hundred years ago, March Square could boast of such excellent ignorance, but fashion is changing to prevent, perhaps, our own being too easily annoyed.
