Estimates vary but the message is clear: cloud spending worldwide is soaring, and much of the demand is coming from companies looking to migrate existing systems. Transforming a monolithic legacy application into a cloud native system is no small feat, but with this in-depth report, your organization will learn ways to migrate classical Java applications to newly provisioned cloud infrastructure without requiring a significant rewrite. Authors Kevin Webber and Jason Goodwin cover proven steps and techniques that enable your company to take advantage of cloud infrastructure''s power and flexibility. You''ll explore three pillars of successful cloud adoption-infrastructure refresh, application modernization and migration, and security modernization-and learn how to treat the cloud as an unlimited pool of resources that brings both scale and resilience to your system. This report covers: Cloud native requirements: critical traits applications must possess before they''re deployed to cloud infrastructure Modernizing heritage applications: proven techniques and tools for refactoring existing legacy Java applications to real-time, event-driven, cloud-native systems Getting cloud-native deployments right: best practices for deploying enterprise services to public, private, and hybrid clouds, and for meeting common organizational challenges along the way Cloud security: methods for shoring up the least-secure channels in enterprise systems-from social engineering to known vulnerabilities-before deployment to cloud infrastructure.

"Inspired by Jason Goodwin''s bestselling mystery novels, Yashim Cooks Istanbul evokes the colors and flavours of the Ottoman world, with recipes from simple meze and vegetable dishes to meat, fish, and puddings."--Back cover.

“People of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.” Those words come from Henry Ford, and they are truer today than ever. Banks continue to purchase assets with other people’s money, which contributed to the global debt crisis that devastated so many individuals and families. Jason Goodwin, a lifelong student of the economy, outlines how the banking and monetary system work in this book that not only informs but will make you downright angry. He focuses on topics such as • countries like Greece that are hamstrung by massive debt, • causes of the global debt crisis, and • economic policies that make it difficult for households to pay their bills and get ahead in life. He also examines how banks become investors when companies offer shares to the public via initial public offerings. Banks use other people’s money to become the largest investors of these companies, which can cause massive socio-economic problems. Get truthful answers on why the world is suffering a debt crisis along with practical solutions to solve the problem with this insightful overview of the global economy.

"Inspector Yashim must search for an Polish prince who has been taken hostage by an Italian revolutionary cell"--Provided by publisher.

1836: nella Istanbul imperiale, stanca capitale del mondo, Yashim, eunuco di corte, deve scoprire che cosa si nasconde all''ombra del famigerato «albero dei giannizzeri». Ma deve fare in fretta, molto in fretta. Un complotto enorme scuote la città, e forse il trono stesso della Sublime Porta. E solo lui può sventarlo, forse.

Istanbul, 1840. Yashim Togalu, the brilliant eunuch detective, is summoned to an audience with the Sultan Abdiilmecid young, that takes care of finding a work of art long-gone: the portrait of Mehmet the Conqueror, painted in 1479 by the famous master Venetian Bellini. The Sultan is convinced that the box is in Venice and, disguised, Yashim and his invaluable friend, the Polish Ambassador Stanislaw Palewski, across the Mediterranean. Venice is then a decaying city of desert palaces, silent channels that intersect art dealers, counterfeiters and aristocrats. What begins as a simple investigation soon becomes a dangerous and deadly game, and the two men see themselves involved in a conspiracy that calls into question whether the stability of the Ottoman Empire, wants peace in Europe. Jason Goodwin, in her third novel of the series starring the detective Yashim makes offer us a fascinating portrait, with a keen historical detail, the Ottoman Empire and Venice dominated by the Habsburgs.

In una Istanbul che emana tutto il fascino malinconico di un grande impero in decadenza, il detective eunuco Yashim indaga su un caso che lo porterà nelle piú recondite stanze del palazzo: il serraglio del sultano.

Detective Yashim is more than a sleuth—he''s also a great cook. And as the Financial Times says, "What is there not to love in a detective who enjoys cooking as much as he enjoys eating?" Cooking with Yashim presents a selection of authentic Turkish recipes to celebrate the publication of An Evil Eye, the fourth novel in the series by Edgar Award winner Jason Goodwin. Like a turban glimpsed on the street, a draft of sweet coffee, or the slender shadow of a minaret, Yashim''s dishes help to re-create the flavors of 19th-century Istanbul—its abundance of seasonal vegetables, fresh fish drawn from the waters of the Bosporus and the Sea of Marmara, the ubiquitous soups and grilled lamb, the yogurt, and the spices that scent the air of the Egyptian bazaar. Goodwin''s collected recipes from his previous novels The Janissary Tree, The Bellini Card, The Snake Stone, and An Evil Eye for the first time in this exclusive ebook, complete with an excerpt from Yashim''s latest mystery.

"The fourth chapter in the adventures of Investigator Yashim, the eunuch detective"--Provided by publisher.

1840, une rumeur arrive aux oreilles du sultan Abdülmecid : l''un des chefs-d''oeuvre disparus de Bellini aurait refait surface à Venise. Envoyé par le sultan sur les traces de l''oeuvre perdue, Hachim l''eunuque délaisse les ruelles ventées d''Istanbul pour la grandeur décadente de Venise. Avec son ami, l''ambassadeur polonais Palewski, le détective ottoman s''aventure dans une cité inquiétante de canaux silencieux et de palais désertés, où rôdent et s''épient marchands vénitiens, aristocrates déchus, brigands et tueurs. Autour du Bellini se noue alors une intrigue des plus mystérieuses. Tandis que chacun cherche l''oeuvre perdue, des cadavres sont repêchés dans les canaux, et les morts semblent tous liés à l''énigmatique et sublime comtesse d''Aspi d''Istria...

El paradero de un retrato de Mehmet II, gran héroe del Imperio otomano, pintado por el artista renacentista Bellini ha sido un misterio durante siglos. En el Estambul de 1840 circula el rumor de que el cuadro ha aparecido en Venecia, y el sultán quiere poseerlo a toda costa. Yashim, el célebre detective eunuco, es el encargado de recuperarlo, y para ello cuenta con la inestimable ayuda de Stanislaw Palieski, el decadente embajador de Polonia. Yashim y Palieski viajan de incógnito a Venecia, una ciudad de palacios vacíos y silenciosos canales, por la que se mueven oscuros tratantes de arte, hombres que se han hecho a sí mismos y marchitos aristócratas. Cuando dos cuerpos aparecen en el canal, la búsqueda del retrato perdido se convierte en un peligroso juego del gato y el ratón que amenaza con destruir el trono otomano y desencadenar feroces luchas de poder en Europa. Jason Goodwin, ganador del Edgar Award por El Árbol de los Jenízaros y cuyas novelas han sido traducidas a treinta y siete idiomas, es uno de los mayores expertos en Estambul, una ciudad codiciada y codiciosa atrapada entre el exotismo de su pasado y la inestabilidad de los nuevos tiempos. La estrategia Bellini es «una novela magnífica, inteligente y evocadora» (Independent) de «un escritor de enorme talento» (Financial Times).

En 1838, à Istanbul, après trente de règne, le sultan Mahmud II se meurt dans son palais, et toute la ville retient son souffle... Mais pour l''eunuque Hachim, familier des couloirs du palais et fin limier préféré du sultan, ce n''est pas l''unique sujet d''inquiétude : deux de ses amis, vieux commerçants grecs du Grand Bazar, sont sauvagement attaqués. L''un d''eux y perd la vie. Lorsqu''un archéologue français un peu louche, Maximilien Lefèvre, est à son tour assassiné après avoir trouvé refuge chez Hachim, l''étau se resserre autour de l''eunuque, en passe de devenir le suspect idéal. Commence alors pour lui une course effrénée des rues labyrinthiques d''Istanbul aux rives du Bosphore, contre une insaisissable société secrète, l''Hétire, qui rêve de rétablir dans l''ancienne Byzance un nouvel empire grec...

Qui tiba els fils de tota la intriga on s’acabaran trobant immersos Yashim i el seu company Palewski? Quin patró segueix la inquietant cadena d’esdeveniments que succeeixen? Què amaga la bella comtessa d’Aspi d’Ístria? Qui és qui en aquesta trepidant partida?
