There are few today who can claim that the US occupation of Iraq has been a success, for Iraq or the US. A War Too Far takes this on by looking back on the many unanswered questions about the invasion itself. What was the real reason for the Iraq War? Did George Bush ever have a strategy to confront al-Qaida in one arena? How does the invasion alter Iraq's relationship with Iran? And what does this mean for the future? World-renowned security expert Paul Rogers tackles these questions, offering a uniquely insightful analysis of events during and after the war. Examining the delicate balance of power in Iraq, he explores the options for a US exit strategy, and how the invasion affects America's relationship with Iran. Paul Rogers predicted in 2000 that the US would experience a terrorist attack on its own soil. Subsequent events proved how accurate he was. This book is required reading for students, journalists, policy-makers and anyone interested in getting the whole story about the dangerous consequences of the latest American venture in the Middle East. Paul Rogers explores: • The neo-conservative vision of a US-dominated Middle East • The oil link – Iraq's significance in energy geopolitics • Links with Israel – the development of close military cooperation between the US and Israeli military • The growing possibility of a war on Iran and its potential repercussions

Praise For Taking A Hit: The Key To Success "Within the wonderful game of FPL, there are hundreds of micro decisions that must be made on a weekly basis. The difference between a top 100k finish and a top 1k finish can be one, singular transfer at the start of the season, that catalyses a series of changes resulting in FPL glory or FPL failure. As a result, if we can improve our decision-making by just 1%, it can have a remarkable impact on our season. "One can imagine, therefore, that this comprehensive, insightful exploration of one of the most important elements of the game - transfers and hits - could have the ability to catapult you up the rankings and make you the king or queen of your mini-league. To write a book, in and of itself, is an incredible achievement. However, due to the amount of work it takes, authors can be tempted to cut corners. This book? Well this book does no such thing! "From philosophical discussions of transfer strategies and management types, to real world research and surveys, to asking some of the best managers in the world for their insights, this book is without a doubt the most comprehensive discussion of transfers that you will ever read, and I truly think it will transform the way you play FPL." Ross Dowsett Author of The Mind Game YouTube (FPL Raptor) "Taking hits is one of the most topical areas of FPL and after a sneak peak, I look forward to reading more of Paul's book. We spend hours deliberating on our weekly transfers and this book should make our decision-making process just that little bit easier." Gianni Buttice Official Fantasy Premier League Show Panelist Author of Premier Fantasy League: Unlocking The Secrets To A Top 1% Finish "As someone who takes FPL (probably a little too) seriously and who likes to (over?) analyse their performance in search of scope for improvement, I tend to value objective information - especially when this is gathered from some of the very best players in the game. I'll admit that taking hits is an area of my game I have spent less time looking at than others. As I started to look at the way rank changes work in FPL, I quickly concluded that taking too many hits could potentially have a negative impact on rank so I became quite conservative in that respect, only taking a hit when absolutely necessary. However, I wonder if I could be missing an opportunity to make significant gains by using hits more proactively? Paul's book offers us the opportunity to learn and understand the strategies used by top FPL managers in relation to taking hits and, if you're anything like me, I'm sure that you will find the prospect of that intriguing and impossible to resist..." Alex Pickard (FPL Dork @DorkFpl) 2020/21: 350th "While some strategies of Fantasy Premier League are widely accepted in the FPL community, the concept of hits is divisive and can perhaps be a barrier for some fantasy veterans (myself included) to reach the upper echelons of the overall rankings in a single season. This book is a fascinating read for fantasy managers old and new, as Paul delves into the data of 2020/21 to find out when hits are beneficial and how getting it right can propel you up the leaderboard. There's plenty of great takeaways I'll be trying to implement into my own fantasy approach going forward to give myself an edge. Don't miss out!"

In discussions about people power or nonviolent action, most people will immediately think of Gandhi or Martin Luther King, a few will recall the end of the Marcos regime in the Philippines in the mid-1980s, and some others will remember or have heard of the Prague Spring nearly two decades earlier. Moreover, for most activists and others involved in peace action and movements for social change, there will be little knowledge of the theories of nonviolent action and still less of the huge number of actions taken in so many countries and in such different circumstances across the world. Even recent events across the Middle East are rarely put in a broader historical context. Although the focus of this book is on post-1945 movements, the opening section provides a wide-ranging introduction to the history and theoretical bases of nonviolent action, and reflects the most recent contributions to the literature, citing key reference works.

Installations today process different types of work with different response times. Every installation wants to make the best use of its resources, maintain the highest possible throughput, and achieve the best possible system responsiveness. You can realize such results by using workload management. This IBM® Redbooks® publication introduces you to the concepts of workload management utilizing Workload Manager (WLM). Workload Manager allows you to define performance goals and assign a business importance to each goal. You define the goals for work in business terms, and the system decides how much resource, such as CPU and storage, should be given to the work. The system matches resources to the work to meet those goals, and constantly monitors and adapts processing to meet the goals. This reporting reflects how well the system is doing compared to its goals, because installations need to know whether performance goals are being achieved as well as what they are accomplishing in the form of performance goals. The ABCs of z/OS® System Programming is a thirteen-volume collection that provides an introduction to the z/OS operating system and the hardware architecture. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced system programmer, the ABCs collection provides the information that you need to start your research into z/OS and related subjects. If you would like to become more familiar with z/OS in your current environment, or if you are evaluating platforms to consolidate your e-business applications, the ABCs collection will serve as a powerful technical tool.

A major goal of operating systems is to process jobs while making the best use of system resources. Thus, one way of viewing operating systems is as resource managers. Before job processing, operating systems reserve input and output resources for jobs. During job processing, operating systems manage resources such as processors and storage. After job processing, operating systems free all resources used by the completed jobs, making the resources available to other jobs. This process is called resource management. There is more to the processing of jobs than the managing of resources needed by the jobs. At any instant, a number of jobs can be in various stages of preparation, processing, and post-processing activity. To use resources efficiently, operating systems divide jobs into parts. They distribute the parts of jobs to queues to wait for needed resources. Keeping track of where things are and routing work from queue to queue is called workflow management, and is a major function of any operating system. JES3 considers job priorities, device and processor alternatives, and installation-specified preferences in preparing jobs for processing job output. This IBM® Redbooks® publication describes a JES3 environment that includes the following: - Single-system image - Workload balancing - Availability - Control flexibility - Physical planning flexibility.
