This book is an introduction to modeling and an in-depth look at topology in Blender, written by a Blender topology specialist with years of experience with the software. As you progress through its chapters, you’ll conquer the basics of quad-based topology using triangles and Ngons, and learn best practices and things to avoid while modeling and retopologizing. The pages are full of illustrations and examples with in-depth explanations that showcase each step in an easy-to-follow format.Squeaky Clean Topology in Blender starts by introducing you to the user interface and navigation. It then goes through an overview of the modeling techniques and hotkeys that will be necessary to understand the examples. With the modeling basics out of the way, the next stop on our journey is topology. Working through projects like a character and a sci-fi blaster, the book will illustrate and work through complex topology problems, and present solutions to those problems. These examples focus on deforming character models, non-deforming hard surface models, and optimizing these models by reducing the triangle count.By the end of this book, you will be able to identify the general flow of a shape's topology, identify and solve issues in your topology, and come out with a model ready for UV unwrapping, materials, and rigging.

Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) provide remote workers with secure access to their company network via the internet by encrypting all data sent between the company network and the user?s machine (the client). Before SSL VPN this typically required the client machine to have special software installed, or at least be specially configured for the purpose.Clientless SSL VPNs avoid the need for client machines to be specially configured. Any computer with a Web browser can access SSL VPN systems. This has several benefits:Low admin costs, no remote configurationUsers can safely access the company network from any machine, be that a public workstation, a palmtop or mobile phoneBy pass ISP restrictions on custom VPNs by using standard technologies SSL VPN is usually provided by a hardware appliance that forms part of the company network. These appliances act as gateways, providing internal services such as file shares, email servers, and applications in a web based format encrypted using SSL. Existing players and new entrants, such as Nokia, Netilla, Symantec, Whale Communications, and NetScreen technologies, are rushing our SSL VPN products to meet growing demand.This book provides a detailed technical and business introduction to SSL VPN. It explains how SSL VPN devices work along with their benefits and pitfalls. As well as covering SSL VPN technologies, the book also looks at how to authenticate and educate users ? a vital element in ensuring that the security of remote locations is not compromised. The book also looks at strategies for making legacy applications accessible via the SSL VPN.

State management, a crucial aspect of the React ecosystem, has gained significant attention in recent times. While React offers various libraries and tools to handle state, each with different approaches and perspectives, one thing is clear: state management solutions for handling client state are not optimized for dealing with server state. React Query was created to address this issue of managing your server state, and this guide will equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively use React Query for state management.Starting with a brief history of state management in the React ecosystem, you’ll find out what prompted the split from a global state to client and server state and thus understand the need for React Query. As you progress through the chapters, you'll see how React Query enables you to perform server state tasks such as fetching, caching, updating, and synchronizing your data with the server. But that’s not all; once you’ve mastered React Query, you’ll be able to apply this knowledge to handle server state with server-side rendering frameworks as well. You’ll also work with patterns to test your code by leveraging the testing library and Mock Service Worker.By the end of this book, you'll have gained a new perspective of state and be able to leverage React Query to overcome the obstacles associated with server state.

Strategiczna wizja. Kryzys amerykańskiej supremacji, potęga Chin i geopolityczny porządek świata
Zbigniew Brzeziński
Czy Chiny przejmą rolę Ameryki w światowej geopolityce? Nowe wydanie błyskotliwej analizy Zbigniewa Brzezińskiego Strategiczna wizja wraca w momencie kluczowym i dla świata, i Stanów Zjednoczonych. Ten bestseller "New York Timesa" - zachowuje wyjątkową aktualność. Pomaga zrozumieć- następujące na naszych oczach - dramatyczne przemiany geopolityczne i przyszłość przywództwa USA w świecie, w którym punkt ciężkości przesuwa się z Zachodu na Wschód. Co stanie się, jeśli Ameryka wycofa się ze swojej roli globalnego lidera? Czy świat czeka dominacja Chin, a może okres "chaotycznych zmian", z których nikt nie wyjdzie zwycięsko? Ta książka to jednak nie "pesymistyczna przepowiednia" z przeszłości, a raczej wezwanie do odnowy. Brzeziński pisze "upadek Ameryki nie jest nieuchronny; to wybór, nie przeznaczenie". Brzeziński wskazuje, że kluczowe dla Stanów Zjednoczonych będzie współdziałanie z Europą oraz zacieśnianie współpracy z krajami takimi jak np. Turcja, uświadamia jak wielkie geopolityczne znaczenie ma Rosja. Jednocześnie przestrzega, że Ameryka musi wypracować równowagę w relacjach z Chinami i innymi wschodzącymi potęgami Azji. Eksperci podkreślają ponadczasową wartość książki. Według magazynu "The New Republic" Brzeziński "odmawia lamentowania nad rzekomym schyłkiem Ameryki" i dostarcza "potrzebnego antidotum na modny dziś pesymizm". Recenzja "Kirkus Reviews" określa książkę jako "pilne wezwanie do historycznej odnowy, napisane przez jednego z najwybitniejszych amerykańskich strategów". "The Daily Beast" dodaje natomiast: "centralnym przesłaniem Strategicznej wizji jest ostrzeżenie, jak bardzo katastrofalny będzie świat, jeśli Ameryka pilnie nie zmobilizuje się do narodowej odnowy".
