  Penis Removal

  In ancient civilizations, removal of the human penis was sometimes used as a means of demonstrating superiority: armies were sometimes known to sever the penises of their enemies to count the dead, as well as for trophies, although usually only the foreskins were taken by the Jews. The practice of castration (removal of the testicles) sometimes also involves the removal of all or part of the penis, generally with a tube inserted to keep the urethra open for urination. Castration has been used to create a class of servants or slaves (and especially harem-keepers) called eunuchs in many different places and eras.

  Low Carb: A Quick-Start Low Carb Diet Guide , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 34min

  As the name implies, a low carb diet is a diet plan that involves a reduced consumption of carbohydrates. It is also known as the reduced carbohydrate or low glycemic diet. The idea is to reduce the sugars or carbohydrate level in the body. A low carb diet involves a restricted use of starchy vegetables and grains. Normally about more than 50% of daily calories are obtained from carbohydrates. A diet that provides less than this value can be termed a low carb diet. Similarly, an eating plan that that reduces the amount of sugar calories is also a low carb diet plan. You'll love these low carb recipes! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Terry Murphy. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/071608/bk_acx0_071608_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

  Internet Security

  This book is a part of another book titled "Computer & Internet Security: A Hands-on Approach, 2nd Edition" (687 pages). It is created to lower the cost on students, as many courses only need this part. It covers 16 of the 26 chapters. This book is based on the author's 18 years of teaching and research experience. It covers the fundamental principles in Internet security, including network security, web security, and cryptography. Its goal is to help readers understand how various attacks work, what their fundamental causes are, how to defend against them, and how various defense mechanisms work. The book can be used as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses. The author strongly believes in "learning by doing", so the book takes a hands-on approach. For each security principle, the book uses a series of hands-on activities to help explain the principle; readers can "touch", play with, and experiment with the principle, instead of just reading about it. For instance, if a security principle involves an attack, the book guides readers to actually launch the attack (in a contained environment). In some cases, if a principle involves a security mechanism, such as firewall or Virtual Private Network (VPN), the book guides readers to implement a mini-version of such a mechanism (e.g., mini-firewall or mini-VPN). Readers can learn better from such hands-on activities. The hands-on activities are based on the author's widely adopted SEED Labs, which have been used by over 1000 institutes in more than 65 countries.

  Escape from Yokai Land

  Regular readers of Charles Stross's Laundry Files might have noticed Bob Howard's absence from the events of The Nightmare Stacks, and his subsequent return from Tokyo at the start of The Delirium Brief. Escape from Yokai Land explains what he was doing there. Bob's been assigned to work with the Miyamoto Group, checking the wards that lock down Japan's warded sites-a task previously handled by his predecessor Dr. Angleton, the Eater of Souls. This mostly involves policing yokai: traditional magical beings, increasingly grown more annoying and energetic. But then Bob's simple trip turns into a deadly confrontation with the ultimate yokai. It's massively powerful. It's pink. And it says "Hello."
