Поставляется из: Англии
Описание: The United States wasnt built as a democracy. The Senate doesnt represent people. Both sides hate gerrymandering and the courts refuse to fix it. Our right to be heard is defeated by voter suppression and an Electoral College system that concentrates power in a handful of states and too often reverses the popular vote. But within our flawed system, we have the tools to tackle our most stubborn election problems by flexing state and local power (no constitutional amendments or courts required). This should be the last American election that works against the people. Kristin Eberhard, Director of Democracy at Sightline Institute, thoughtfully researched how the U.S. election system is unjust to many by design, and walks us through 10 big but practical ideas for making our elections free, fair, and secure. Now is the time: More than half of Americans live in just nine states. That means less than half the population controls 82 percent of the Senate. It doesnt have to be that way. We can hope the Senate eliminates the filibuster. But while were holding our breath, what if we went further and remade the Senate to represent people? Voter suppression justified by trumped up fears of double voting and dead voters why? Theres already a simple, proven solution working in 30 states to keep voter lists secure and accurate. - Feel stuck with the Electoral College reversing the popular vote? That isnt even in the Constitution! There is a path for states to ensure the candidate with the most votes wins (and were already on it). - We could defeat gerrymandering and create a multi-party system where voters have more options, lawmakers get more work done, and extremists are relegated to the fringe, unable to take over a major party. A field guide to better elections for both sides of the aisle, BECOMING A DEMOCRACY illuminates the meaningful, concrete actions that can transform our elections and make sure everyones vote counts (and that they get to vote in the first place). Eberhard delves into the history and evolution of our flawed systems, showing their impact on voters the outcomes of our elections, and the perpetuation of racist policies. American voters arent going to elect the American president. Twelve states are. One in every 13 Black adults could not vote as the result of laws limiting voting rights for people with felony convictions, as of 2016. Some 23 million American citizens who are eligible to vote could not exercise that right if all states had strict voter ID laws. Over one in ten voting-age citizens do not have a current, government-issued photo ID -- if youre in a state with a strict Voter ID law, that means no vote. The Supreme Court cleared the way for states to purge 2 million voters from the rolls between 2012 and 2016. She also shows how states across the country are changing all that with proven solutions for running fair elections and making every vote count. - Thirty states are members of a secure and modern system to keep voter rolls clean. Together, they have removed over 300,000 names of deceased voters from their rolls and updated addresses for nearly 10 million eligible voters. In the 2020 primary, Montana mailed ballots to all registered voters. It saw the highest voter turnout in more than 40 years. In the 2014 midterm elections, voter participation in Vote At Home states across the nation was on average 23 percent higher than in other states. In 2018, Maine voters used ranked ballots to elect members of Congress. A four-way race for a House seat would have elected someone with only minority support, but ranked choice voting elected the candidate with support from more than half of voters.

Описание: A trusted guide into the inner realm where our spirits find strength to master life and live for God.

It is hard to exaggerate the significance of Innerland, either for Eberhard Arnold or his readers. It absorbed his energies off and on for most of his adult life--from World War I, when he published the first chapter under the title War: A Call to Inwardness, to 1935, the last year of his life.

Packed in metal boxes and buried at night for safekeeping from the Nazis, who raided the author's study a year before his death (and again a year after it), Innerland was not openly critical of Hitler's regime. Nevertheless, it attacked the spirits that animated German society: its murderous strains of racism and bigotry, its heady nationalistic fervor, its mindless mass hysteria, and its vulgar materialism. In this sense Innerland stands as starkly opposed to the zeitgeist of our own day as to that of the author's.

At a glance, the focus of Innerland seems to be the cultivation of the spiritual life as an end in itself. Nothing could be more misleading. In fact, to Eberhard Arnold the very thought of encouraging the sort of selfish solitude whereby people seek their own private peace by shutting out the noise and rush of public life around them is anathema. He writes in The Inner Life "These are times of distress. We cannot retreat, willfully blind to the overwhelming urgency of the tasks pressing on society. We cannot look for inner detachment in an inner and outer isolation...The only justification for withdrawing into the inner self to escape today's confusing, hectic whirl would be that fruitfulness is enriched by it. It is a question of gaining within, through unity with eternal powers, a strength of character ready to be tested in the stream of the world."

Innerland, then, calls us not to passivity, but to action. It invites us to discover the abundance of a life lived for God. It opens our eyes to the possibilities of that "inner land of the invisible where our spirit can find the roots of its strength and thus enable us to press on to the mastery of life we are called to by God." Only there, says Eberhard Arnold, can our life be placed under the illuminating light of the eternal and seen for what it is. Only there will we find the clarity of vision we need to win the daily battle that is life, and the inner anchor without which we will lose our moorings.

Microservices: A Practical Guide

Описание: Microservices have many advantages: Efficiently implementing more features, bringing software into production faster, robustness and easy scalability are among them. But implementing a microservices architecture and selecting the necessary technologies are difficult challenges.
This book shows microservices recipes that architects can customize and combine into a microservices menu. In this way, the implementation of microservices can be individually adapted to the requirements of the project.
Eberhard Wolff introduces microservices, self-contained systems, micro- and macro-architecture and the migration to microservices. The second part shows the microservices recipes: Basic technologies such as Docker or PaaS, frontend integration with links, JavaScript or ESI (Edge Side Includes). This is followed by asynchronous microservices with Apache Kafka or REST / Atom. In the synchronous approaches, the book discusses REST with the Netflix stack, Consul, PaaS with Cloud Foundry, and Kubernetes. Finally, operations is discussed: Log Analysis with Elasticsearch and Kibana, Monitoring with Prometheus, and tracing with Zipkin.
For each recipe there are suggestions for variations and combinations. Readers can experience all technologies hands-on with a demo project on GitHub. The outlook picks up on the operation of microservices and also shows how the reader can start with microservices in concrete terms.
The book provides the technical tools to implement a microservices architecture. Demo projects and suggestions for self-study will complete the book.
