One of the stated goals of this book is to convince readers that situational crime prevention can be used successfully in a variety of conditions and environments. The authors focus on a novel application for situational crime prevention-in the world of cyberspace-and show that techniques used to reduce criminal opportunities and alter offenders' perceptions are potentially as effective with respect to e-commerce crime as they are to more traditional crime types. The first two chapters justify the book's focus on e-commerce crime. Chapter one argues that changes in society and, thus, changes in crime patterns can be largely attributed to the evolution of technology. When innovations such as cars and computers spread throughout a population, there is an associated growth of offenses involving the innovations, be they driving offenses or hacking incidents. Chapter Two presents the basic features of e-commerce, which are defined as the conduct of buying and selling (both retail and business-to-business) in the new environment of information technology, be it on-line (Internet) or off-line (internal networks). These basic features include the use of communication technology to allow the better usage of information at various points in buying and selling processes; increased efficiency brought about by automated systems; and buying and selling of products, information, and services on the Internet. E-commerce differs from traditional commerce in numerous ways, from the type of storefront to how products are delivered to end consumers; these differences present new opportunities for crime. Chapter Three asserts that the prime target of e-commerce crime is information, which is of four main categories: intellectual property (e.g., books, CDs, DVDs, and software), intelligence (databases containing customers' information), information systems, and services. The authors further classify targets in seven ways, depending on the intent of the offender. Unimportant distinguishing feature between e-commerce and traditional crime concerning target selection relates to the ease of surveillance. A burglar can case only so many houses. A child molester can watch only so many playgrounds. Demands of travel and temporal patterns of daily life place a limit on how many targets can be identified. With respect to e-commerce crime, there are no such constraints. Surveillance is restricted only by the speed of the Internet, and searches for targets can span vast spaces and occur at all hours. Chapter Three also classifies crimes based on whether they have direct or indirect effects on e-commerce business. Detailed tables in this section list 26 crime types or incidents, with examples and estimates of the extent or cost of the crime. The chapter concludes by introducing a new acronym to the crime prevention literature SCAREM. This concerns the criminogenic

Topic: Current practices relating to regulations, commercialization, and promotion of herb, food, and phytochemicals Medicinal plants are used with the intention of health maintenance, to be administered for specific conditions, or both, whether in modern or in traditional medicines. Many phytochemicals with established or potential biological activity have been identified in plants. The compounds found in plants (phytochemicals) are of several kinds, but most are in four main biochemical classes: terpenes, alkaloids, glycosides, and polyphenols. Medicinal plants are used widely in non-industrialized societies and developing countries in Africa, Asia, and Southern America, mainly because they are thought to be very effective, cheaper than modern medicines, and readily available. Plants, including many currently used as culinary spices and herbs, have been used as medicines, not certainly effectively, from ancient times. Polyphenols of many classes are widely spread in plants. Plants having phytoestrogens, a type of polyphenols, have been administered for decades for gynecological conditions, such as fertility, menopausal, and menstrual problems; among these plants are Pueraria mirifica, anise, kudzu, angelica, and fennel. The astringent rind of the pomegranate, having polyphenols known as punicalagins, is commonly used as a medicine. Angelica, having phytoestrogens, has been used for gynecological disorders for long. Nicotine, an alkaloid, from tobacco directly binds to Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the body, accounting for its pharmacological effects. Cardiac glycosides are powerful drugs from the medicinal plants including lily of the valley and foxglove; they include digitoxin and digoxin which support heart beating, and work as diuretics. Terpenoids and terpenes of many kinds are contained in many medicinal plants, and also in resinous plants such as conifers; they are strongly aromatic. A number of the terpenoids and terpenes have medicinal uses: for instance, thymol (an antiseptic) was once used as an anti-worm medicine (vermifuge). In most of the developing countries, especially in the rural areas, local traditional medicine, inclusive of herbalism, is the lone source of health care for individuals, while in the developed countries, alternative medicine including dietary supplements are aggressively marketed using claims of traditional medicine.

The Confidence Code empowers women to become more courageous by explaining their natural tendencies toward timidity and how to break them even in a world dominated by men. Most people you ask whether men or women are more confident in the workplace will probably say men are. We might have come a long way with women's rights, but cultural stereotypes often make women feel they need to hold back, even when they are more than qualified to do something. And it's no wonder women still feel this way, many industries are still heavily dominated by men. Did you know that only 4% of Fortune 500 companies have female CEOs? But it doesn't have to be this way. In the Confidence Code, The Science and Art of Self-Assurance-What Women Should Know co-authors Clare Shipman and Katty Kay argue that women can choose to be just as confident as men. They reveal confidence is not just genetic but to also environmental. Conclusion: By reading this book I learned many things about about our environment , about our society, about our society thought towards a woman. That how a woman is hold back some stereotypes and men's are dominating over them just due to a lack of confidence Here are the 3 most empowering lessons I got out of this one: • Confidence is a connector between what we think and what we do. • Stereotypes and innate differences between men and women cause women to hold back. • Confidence can be learned, even if we're not predisposed to it. Lesson 1: The bridge between our thoughts and actions is confidence.
Computer can be classified in many ways. The common way is to classify the computer according to working principle, purpose and size. There are different types of computer.

What are mycotoxins? Mycotoxins are toxic compounds that are naturally produced by certain types of moulds (fungi). Moulds that can produce mycotoxins grow on numerous foodstuffs such as cereals, dried fruits, nuts and spices. Mould growth can occur either before harvest or after harvest, during storage, on/in the food itself often under warm, damp and humid conditions. Most mycotoxins are chemically stable and survive food processing. Several hundred different mycotoxins have been identified, but the most commonly observed mycotoxins that present a concern to human health and livestock include aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, patulin, fumonisins, zearalenone and nivalenol/deoxynivalenol. Mycotoxins appear in the food chain as a result of mould infection of crops both before and after harvest. Exposure to mycotoxins can happen either directly by eating infected food or indirectly from animals that are fed contaminated feed, in particular from milk. Mycotoxins commonly found in food and why they are of concern The effects of some food-borne mycotoxins are acute with symptoms of severe illness appearing quickly after consumption of food products contaminated with mycotoxins. Other mycotoxins occurring in food have been linked to long-term effects on health, including the induction of cancers and immune deficiency. Of the several hundred mycotoxins identified so far, about a dozen have gained the most attention due to their severe effects on human health and their occurrences in food. Aflatoxins are amongst the most poisonous mycotoxins and are produced by certain moulds (Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus) which grow in soil, decaying vegetation, hay, and grains. Crops that are frequently affected by Aspergillus spp. include cereals (corn, sorghum, wheat and rice), oilseeds (soybean, peanut, sunflower and cotton seeds), spices (chili peppers, black pepper, coriander, turmeric and ginger) and tree nuts (pistachio, almond, walnut, coconut and Brazil nut). The toxins can also be found in the milk of animals that are fed contaminated feed, in the form of aflatoxin M1. Large doses of aflatoxins can lead to acute poisoning (aflatoxicosis) and can be life threatening, usually through damage to the liver. Aflatoxins have also been shown to be genotoxic, meaning they can damage DNA and cause cancer in animal species. There is also evidence that they can cause liver cancer in humans.

Layers of Atmosphere Atmosphere consists of several layers which are separated from one other by change in slope of the graph of the temperature vs. altitude. 1. Troposphere: It is the lowest layer of atmosphere in which living organisms exist. It is the region of strong air movement and cloud formation. In this region temperature decreases with increasing altitude until at tropopause (i0-12 km). The air in troposphere consists volume of about 78% N 2 , 21% O2, 1% argon (Ar), and 0.03% CO2. 2. Stratosphere: The layer above troposphere is known as Stratosphere, which is about 50 km from the surface of the earth. This layer is characterized by increasing temperature. Near the top of this layer is the region where the ultraviolet solar radiation is absorbed by ozone. This region is known as Ozonosphere. Ozone is formed from oxygen through a photochemical reaction where oxygen molecule splits to form atomic oxygen. O 2 + (hv = radiation) → 20 O 2 + О → O 3 3. Mesosphere: This layer is above Stratosphere in which there is cold temperature and low atmospheric pressure. The temperature drops reaching a minimum of-95°C at 80-90 kms above the earth's surface. The zone is called Mesopause. 4. Thermosphere: The layer above mesosphere is thermosphere which extends up to 500kms above the earth's surface. It is characterised by increase in temperature from the mesosphere. The upper zone of thermosphere where the molecules are in ionized form is called Ionosphere. 5. Exosphere: Atmosphere above the ionosphere is called exosphere. It extends up to 32190 kms from the surface of the earth. It has very high temperature due to radiations of Sun.
