Facing the consequences of an unthinkable act with hope, strength and conviction

An Unplanned Encounter Stories ripped from the headlines of anti-abortion or pro-choice advocates read like grocery store tabloids sensationalizing both points of view. There is, however, a missing third side many people ignore: the child.

The new book, An Unplanned Encounter: Two Lives Forever Changed by Jonathan Husband, is based on true events. His life is the result of a rape during World War II when, according to his mother, she was assaulted by a lodger at her parent’s boarding house. Seldom discussed and rarely chronicled, Husband vividly shares how the lives of both of his parents were profoundly affected by one 15-minute encounter.

The ‘3^rd platform’ is the latest step in the evolution of technology, and has had a big impact on the way we think about technology and the way in which we work. As a result, there will need to be changes in the way IT professionals address security within their organisations in order to ensure that changing behaviour does not introduce vulnerability.

Memoir provides riveting look at Vietnam veteran’s struggle with the brutality of war

In his re-released, critically acclaimed memoir, A Field of Innocence: Nam, 1968: A Hell of a Way to Come of Age, Vietnam veteran and co-founder of Fallen Warriors Foundation Jack Estes introduces readers to the true and horrifying reality of his time in Vietnam. As an 18-year old boy who was broke and flunking out of college with a pregnant girlfriend, Estes joined the Marine Corps in 1968 during the height of the Vietnam War. Although it seemed like the best option at the time, Estes did not imagine what was to follow.
