About the Author\nSteven Carter has more than 25 years of industry experience working in large universities, government research and development laboratories, and private sector companies. He has been a speaker at several industry conferences and written blogs and articles in technical journals. He has spent time as a system administrator running some of the world’s largest supercomputers and a network engineer building out the world’s first SDN network for the Department of Energy. In addition, Steven has a wide range of experience in networking, including operations, embedded software development, and sales. He has spent the past 5 years working for Red Hat Ansible and Cisco Systems consulting and coding for many of the world’s largest organizations as they modernize and secure their operations by incorporating DevOps. He currently works as a principal DevOps engineer for Cisco Systems creating CI/CD pipelines for deploying cloud applications and network infrastructure in secure and classified environments. He holds a BS in computer engineering, an MS in computer science, an MBA, and a CCIE in routing and switching.\nJason King is a solutions architect at Cisco, supporting the public sector community. In his 11 years at Cisco, he has focused on cloud, automation, programmability, and HPC. Prior to joining Cisco, he spent 10 years building and tuning some of the world’s largest HPC clusters at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. He holds an MS in computer science and a CCIE in routing and switching.\nDevelop Network Infrastructure More Rapidly, and Operate It More Effectively\nUsing model-driven DevOps and the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) paradigm, teams can develop and operate network infrastructure more quickly, consistently, and securely--growing agility, getting to market sooner, and delivering more value. Now, two leading practitioners walk you step by step through successfully implementing model-driven DevOps for infrastructure. In this practical guide, they share lessons learned, help you avoid common pitfalls, and illuminate key differences between DevOps for infrastructure and conventional application-based DevOps.\nYou'll learn why network infrastructure operations must change, what needs to change, and how to work together to change it. The authors guide you through creating consistent data models to manage massive numbers of network elements, organizing huge quantities of network data, and applying DevOps to infrastructure repeatably and consistently. Your journey includes a complete, hands-on reference implementation, detailed use cases, many examples based on open source tools, and sample code downloadable at GitHub.\n* Normalize and organize network infrastructure data consistently, to gain the same benefits from DevOps as cloud operators do 
* Replace legacy command lines with APIs, then leverage and scale them 
* Use configuration management, templates, and other tools to program infrastructure without coding 
* Safely implement Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment for infrastructure 
* Succeed with key human factors: break down silos, change culture, and address skills gaps\nWhether you're a network or cybersecurity engineer, architect, manager, or leader, this guide will help you suffuse all your network operations with greater efficiency, security, responsiveness, and resilience.

Hookup culture has become widespread on college campuses, and Catholic colleges are no exception. Indeed, despite the fact that most students on Catholic campuses report being unhappy with casual sexual encounters, most studies have found no difference between Catholic colleges and their secular counterparts when it comes to hooking up. Drawing on a survey of over 1000 students from 26 institutions, as well as in-depth interviews, Jason King argues that religious culture on Catholic campuses can, in fact, have an impact on the school's hookup culture, but when it comes to how that relationship works: it's complicated. In Faith with Benefits, King shows the complex way these dynamics play out at Catholic colleges and universities. There is no straightforward relationship between orthodoxy and hookup culture--some of the schools with the weakest Catholic identities also have weaker hookup cultures. And not all students define the culture in the same way. Some see a hookup as just a casual encounter, where others see it as a gateway to a relationship. Faith with Benefits gives voice to students, revealing how their faith, the faith of their friends, and the institutional structures of their campus give rise to different hookup cultures. In doing so, King addresses the questions of students who don't know where to turn for practical guidance on how to navigate ever-shifting campus cultures, reconciling their faith with their relationships. Students, parents, faculty, administrators-indeed, anyone who cares about Catholic teenagers and young adults-will find much of value in this book.

"The Climate Planner is about overcoming the objections to climate change mitigation and adaption that planners face at a local level. It shows how to draft climate plans that encounter less resistance because they involve the public, stakeholders, and decisionmakers in a way that builds trust, educates, creates consensus, and leads to implementation. Although focused at the local level, this book discusses climate basics like Carbon Dioxide levels in the atmosphere, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the Paris Agreement of 2015, worldwide energy generation forecasts, and other items of global concern in order to familiarize urban planners and citizen planners with key concepts they'll need to know in order to host climate conversations on the local level. The case studies from around the United States show how communities encountered pushback and bridged the implementation gap, the gap between plan and reality thanks to a commitment to substantive public engagement. The book is written for urban planners, local activists, journalists, elected or appointed representatives, and the average citizen worried about climate breakdown and working to reshape the built environment"--

The Climate Planner is about overcoming the objections to climate change mitigation and adaption that urban planners face at a local level. It shows how to draft climate plans that encounter less resistance because they involve the public, stakeholders, and decisionmakers in a way that builds trust, creates consensus, and leads to implementation. Although focused on the local level, this book discusses climate basics such as carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the Paris Agreement of 2015, worldwide energy generation forecasts, and other items of global concern in order to familiarize urban planners and citizen planners with key concepts that they will need to know in order to be able to host climate conversations at the local level. The many case studies from around the United States of America show how communities have encountered pushback and bridged the implementation gap, the gap between plan and reality, thanks to a commitment to substantive public engagement. The book is written for urban planners, local activists, journalists, elected or appointed representatives, and the average citizen worried about climate breakdown and interested in working to reshape the built environment.
