Author: Lewis Ellingham File Type: epub Jack Spicer, unlike his contemporaries Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and Gary Snyder, was a poet who disdained publishing and relished his role as a social outcast. He died in 1965 virtually unrecognized, yet in the following years his work and thought have attracted and intrigued an international audience. Now this comprehensive biography gives a pivotal poet his due. Based on interviews with scores of Spicers contemporaries, Poet Be Like God details the most intimate aspects of Spicers life?his family, his friends, his lovers?illuminating not only the man but also many of his poems.Such illumination extends also to the works of others whom Spicer came to know, including the writers Frank OHara, Robert Duncan, Denise Levertov, Helen Adam, Robin Blaser, Charles Olson, Philip K. Dick, Richard Brautigan, and Marianne Moore and the painters Jess, Fran Herndon, and Jay DeFeo. The resulting narrative, an engaging chronicle of the San Francisco Renaissance and the emergence of the North Beach gay scene during the 50s and 60s, will be indispensable reading for students of American literature and gay studies.

Author: Tony Castella File Type: epub Few outside of Wisconsin had ever heard of Steven Avery and his murder trial before the Netflix series Making a Murderer debuted in December of 2015. The 10-part series told the story of how Avery had spent 18 years in prison for a sexual assault that he was later exonerated for after DNA proved that he wasnt the attacker. Barely out of prison 2 years, Avery once again found himself in trouble with the law facing a first-degree murder charge in the disappearance of Teresa Halbach. Halbach had last been seen at the home of Avery by a handful of eyewitnesses and after police searched the property, a substantial amount of evidence was discovered to suggest that the young photographer had been murdered on the property. One of the things that struck me about the series as a Journalist and Crime Reporter with more than twenty years experience in investigative journalism, was the definite one-sided presentation of the facts and evidence. Ive covered enough trials over the past two decades to know that there are always two sides to every story. When I watched the documentary Making a Murderer , I felt the same way most people did - that it seemed very likely that Steven Avery been framed for the murder of Halbach. But then it occurred to me as someone who had spent a lifetime in the media that this was exactly how the filmmakers wanted us as viewers to feel. I also knew that it was impossible for an entire investigation - from the judge on down to the family of the victim - to all be included in one giant conspiracy like many of Averys supporters on the internet are claiming. Within a few hours of reading through the extensive trial transcripts, it was clear there was a lot more to the case than the 10-part series was able, or as I would learn, choose to include. This is not to say that Steven Avery or Brendan Dassey are guilty or innocent just that instinct and experience told me that there was substantially more to this case than was viewable at a surface level.

Author: Susan Landau File Type: pdf A cybersecurity expert and former Google privacy analysts urgent call to protect devices and networks against malicious hackers New technologies have provided both incredible convenience and new threats. The same kinds of digital networks that allow you to hail a ride using your smartphone let power grid operators control a countrys electricity--and these personal, corporate, and government systems are all vulnerable. In Ukraine, unknown hackers shut off electricity to nearly 230,000 people for six hours. North Korean hackers destroyed networks at Sony Pictures in retaliation for a film that mocked Kim Jong-un. And Russian cyberattackers leaked Democratic National Committee emails in an attempt to sway a U.S. presidential election. And yet despite such documented risks, government agencies, whose investigations and surveillance are stymied by encryption, push for a weakening of protections. In this accessible and riveting read, Susan Landau makes a compelling case for the need to secure our data, explaining how we must maintain cybersecurity in an insecure age.
