A brutally honest account of Australian armour crewmen in action in Vietnam. What was it like to sit in the drivers' and gunners' seats of the Australian tanks and armoured personnel carriers that fought in the Vietnam War? Jungle Tracks takes us into the thick of the battles, the ambushes and the horrendous mine incidents that claimed the lives of so many Australian soldiers. Veterans of the Armoured Corps share their experiences of fighting in the jungles and paddy fields of Vietnam. In their own words, these men describe the special skills they needed and the dangers they encountered. And with brutal honesty, they tell the story of the decisive role played by the armoured forces in all the major battles involving Australians - both the failures and the incredible successes. Gary McKay, himself a Vietnam veteran, and Graeme Nicholas, an Armoured Corps soldier, skilfully assemble these men's accounts to provide a unique view of the Vietnam War.

In the near future all of humanity is caught up in the digital world. Every aspect of human life has been digitized and integrated in the worldwide online network. The people of the world trusted the brand new technology as they changed their cash for digital coins and gave their private personal information freely to social engagement websites. The world was slowly becoming slaves to their digital personals and this new technology. As the young pioneers of and inventors of this new and frightening technology sought funding and formed companies, the sleeping giants of the wealthy and elite of the world began to take notice. Quietly the rich bought out every budding coder, developer, and creator. They did this under the guise of shell corporations, education funds, and subcontracting. Once the people driving the technology innovation of tomorrow were under their control they began to shape the world’s technology for themselves. The rich and elite of the world had humanity under its control but it was difficult and tiresome work. That was why the Deepweb Network was created. They used all of the coders and developers they had bought to create a technological and social control system that would do the hard work for them with basic input from the few richest individuals on the planet. The fledgling Network started slowly. They formed small cells with individual tasks and strategies. They targeted political and social infrastructures. They used massive ad campaigns to mask the movement of funds and assets. Once the Network had grown strong enough, they launched a coordinated attack on all fronts – physically, economically, and digitally. Before anyone realized it, the Deepweb Network now had controlling shares in all corporations, governments, stock exchanges, and most digital websites. They had drained all bank accounts of money and transferred it to themselves. Almost overnight the digital age of humanity had been subverted and corrupted. The Deepweb Network controlled the flow of money and employment. Poverty rates drastically increased globally. Those unable to afford the patronage of the people within the Network were kept poor by the digital strangulation of the economy. The Network controlled all education through privatization. Prices for a good education were heavily inflated so only the elite’s children could afford to learn the skills needed to work in the world they had created. No one was able to stand up to the Network. They were either bought, wrapped up in political red tape, or all of their money was gone and they did not have the means to attack

As technology continues to advance and the interconnection of various devices makes our lives easier, it also puts us at further risk of privacy and security threats. Phones can connect to household devices to help set alarms, turn on or off the lights, and even preheat ovens. The Internet of Things (IoT) is this symbiotic interplay of smart devices that collect data and make intelligent decisions. However, the lack of an intrinsic security measure within IoT makes it especially vulnerable to privacy and security threats. Blockchain and IoT Integration highlights how Blockchain, an encrypted, distributed computer filing system, can be used to help protect IoT against such privacy and security breaches. The merger of IoT and blockchain technology is a step towards creating a verifiable, secure, and permanent method of recording data processed by "smart" machines. The text explores the platforms and applications of blockchain-enabled IoT as well as helps clarify how to strengthen the IoT security found in healthcare systems as well as private homes. Other highlights of the book include: Overview of the blockchain architecture Blockchain to secure IoT data Blockchain to secure drug supply chain and combat counterfeits Blockchain IoT concepts for smart grids, smart cities, and smart homes A biometric-based blockchain enabled payment system IoT for smart healthcare monitoring systems
