The Role of Neuropsychological Functioning Between Forensic and Community Mental Health Patients
Although mental disorders have been viewed as a heightened risk for violent offences that occur in the community, it is important to note that the majority of individuals with a mental disorder do not commit violent crimes. This study examined what distinguishes between mentally disordered individuals who do and do no commit violent offenses, which resulted in the involvement of the forensic justice system opposed to the civil mental health care system. 23 mental health inpatient forensic participants who had been found Not Criminal Responsible (NCR) for a past offense and 22 community mental health inpatients were recruited on a voluntary basis. Participants were classified based on current residency---Forensic inpatient housing (n=23) and inpatient community hospital (n=22) as well as current diagnoses---Bipolar Mood Disorder (n=14), Schizophrenic (n=18) Psychotic Disorder (n=4), Delusional (n=3), Schizoaffective (n=2), Major Depression (n=1), not reported (n=3). Participants completed a battery of neuropsychological tests that included the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT), as a measure of ventromedial prefrontal cortex, and the Integrated Visual and Auditory---Continuous Performance Test (IVA), as a measure of orbitofrontal prefrontal cortex. Participants also received the National Adult Reading Test (NART) as a measure of intellectual ability. Within this study it was noted that the sample size was too small and due to the small sample size, power for detecting significant difference was extremely low. Therefore, scores for the individuals who were involved within the forensic mental health setting were not significantly lower (therefore, seen as not performing poorly) on the neuropsychological measures when compared to the individuals within the community mental health setting. The forensic mental health participants were not found to be impaired on the IGT (a measure of impulsive decision making) relative to the community mental health participants. There were also no significant differences between the community and forensic individuals for instant gratification as measured by the WA. These findings did not support the idea that deficits in inhibition may be a result of ventromedial prefrontal impairment and not mental disorders alone. However, this may not be the case of being untrue, rather only related to the low sample size and difficulty detecting differences between groups. More research would be needed to inquire if individuals involved in the forensic system may have more difficulty with inhibition; therefore, responding to their personal wants before thinking about and acknowledging possible future consequences. The negative behaviour may be a result of biological impairments and would warrant continued evaluation. Ultimately, the findings from this study can contribute with further research and assist with identifying treatments that can target possible risk factors.

After Porn Ends is a documentary that not only examines the lives and careers of some of the biggest names in the history of the adult entertainment industry but what happens to them after they leave the business and try and live the "normal" lives that millions of other Americans enjoy. They hailed from the rural South, steel towns, and the San Fernando Valley. As teenagers and young adults, none of them thought that porn was in their future. They were artists, baseball players, child prodigies, and even Ivy Leaguers. Now, after their lives in porn, they're TV stars, bounty hunters, writers, and social activists. What happened in between? And, now that they've moved on, can they really live a normal life after porn?

The Pornography Industry
We may know pornography when we see it, but the business of pornography is a surprisingly elusive subject. Reliable figures about the industry are difficult to come by and widely disputed, but one matter that is hardly debatable is that pornography is a major and ubiquitous enterprise. Porn allegedly accounts for one-third of all internet traffic currently, though the data about actual consumption is unclear. Reports in recent years have suggested that 70 million individuals visit porn sites every week; that among viewers aged 18-24, women watch more porn than men; and that among middle-aged, white-collar workers, three-quarters of men and half of women have admitted to looking at pornography websites while at work.

Facebook's own Marketing page as seen above, has had this structure for many months – we've known it's been coming but yesterday it was finally announced to the masses.
Quite possibly one of the biggest developments for brands since timeline was introduced, global pages now allows brands that have one page or multiple country-based pages to have a universal, yet localised, presence. Based on a user's location (determined by IP address and other unspecified inputs), the user will be directed to the 'local' version of a page, letting them see localised cover photos, profile photos, applications, milestones, "about" information, and news feed stories. The global page structure will include localised pages for specific markets (single or multicountry regions) but also allow for a default 'global' presence for any markets that do not have their own Facebook presence.
Importantly, it means that brands can promote one global page name, one global vanity URL, and one global Like count. This allows for more effective searches that should return the correct, official global page rather than simply the biggest market page.

All Rise...
Judge Joel Pearce watched this movie on LSD.
Editor's Note
Our review of In The Electric Mist, published January 15th, 2009, is also available.
The Charge
No one can escape the sins of the past.
Opening Statement
Although many people will be thrilled that a James Lee Burke film has been released with a cast of great actors, the actual film will be a major disappointment, for the fans of the book as well as newcomers.
Facts of the Case
In a small Louisiana town, former alcoholic detective Dave Robicheaux (Tommy Lee Jones, No Country for Old Men) is investigating the death of a number of young women. He immediately suspects Julie "Baby Feet" Balboni (John Goodman, Speed Racer), a local crooked businessman with underworld connections. Before long, Robicheaux finds himself caught up in the local production of a major film, and drunken lead actor Elrod Sykes (Peter Sarsgaard, Jarhead), and the case starts to swing out of control.
The Evidence
In the Electric Mist features a problem shared by many novel adaptations on film. Viewers who have never read the novel feel as though they are missing crucial inside information. Characters arrive with insufficient information, and their relationships are never fully clear. Surely, these viewers say, we'd enjoy the movie so much more if we had actually read the book and knew what was going on.
Fans of the book experience a different problem. Because they already know the characters and situations, the failures and weaknesses of the book are simply highlighted. They are able to fill in the gaps, but are also aware of the good things that are missing.
Should anyone see the film? Maybe. In many ways, it's not a complete travesty. Tommy Lee Jones revisits familiar territory, but puts in a good performance here. Peter Sarsgaard is also excellent as a drunken movie star, though many other great actors are wasted as well. John Goodman never really gets the accent down, and he lacks the physical presence to make his character believable. All of the women are relegated to the background as well: Kelly McDonald is capable of so much more than this.
Unfortunately, some good acting simply can't make up for the gaps, skips, and dead moments. The main thrust of the film at the beginning is the investigation of the murdered women, but it becomes a minor afterthought in the second half of the film. There is a surprising death of a character, but it seems to have almost no impact on the narrative or the other characters. Worst of all, Robicheaux's visions of the civil war general are never properly explained. They are a surreal element in an otherwise straightforward film, and it lacks the impact I imagine it must have had in the novel. Overall, it feels like a TV movie with an A list cast, which means it's watchable but hardly worth the price of admission.
On the most part, the Blu-Ray disc looks fairly good. The colors and black levels are acceptable, but there is a horrible curse looming over many of the brighter scenes: edge enhancement. Here, the edge enhancement is both blatant and distracting, which shouldn't be necessary in a high definition transfer. The sound is better, though I found it ultimately unforgettable. There aren't any extras on the disc, as though the good folk at Image really just wanted to get In the Electric Mist out so they could move on to bigger and better things. I'm sure they will.
Closing Statement
In reading up on In the Electric Mist, there are a lot of rumblings about trouble on the set and a struggle between director Bertrand Tavernier (Fresh Bait) and the production team. That would explain why this is an incomplete vision, not only when stacked up against the novel, but as a film as well. Either way, I can't in good conscience recommend it to anyone. Instead, you should probably just go read the book. I hear it's great. If you have to watch it, you may as well watch the Blu-Ray, as it looks prettier.
The Verdict
Guilty on quite a few charges.

...... at the Hyatt Place, Chantilly VA.
The staff were extremely helpful and obliging. Arrived from the UK late in the evening without luggage (airline lost it) - hotel staff provided me with all the essential basics and offered to run me to the local Walmart even though that regular service had finished for the night.
The room was spacious and well appointed, the lift worked efficiently and, although the room was on the "freeway side" of the building there was very little traffic noise the next morning.
The breakfast was included in the price and provided varied options. The shuttle ran on time back to the airport and the drivers (the evening before and in the morning) were very helpful to those with luggage.
Downside: Had to call the hotel for the airport shuttle - quite a long wait.
Bar area very small and an extension of the reception desk - very little atmosphere but, again, staff friendly.

Product Description
From the Inside Flap
C++ Primer, Fourth Edition, provides a comprehensive introduction to the C++ language. As a primer, it provides a clear tutorial approach to the language, enhanced by numerous examples and other learning aids. Unlike most primers, it also provides a detailed description of the language, with particular emphasis on current and effective programming techniques.
Countless programmers have used previous editions of C++ Primer to learn C++. In that time C++ has matured greatly. Over the years, the focus of the language--and of C++ programmers--has grown beyond a concentration on runtime efficiency to focus on ways of making programmers more efficient. With the widespread availability of the standard library, it is possible to use and learn C++ more effectively than in the past. This revision of the C++ Primer reflects these new possiblities.Changes to the Fourth Edition
In this edition, we have completely reorganized and rewritten the C++ Primer to highlight modern styles of C++ programming. This edition gives center stage to using the standard library while deemphasizing techniques for low-level programming. We introduce the standard library much earlier in the text and have reformulated the examples to take advantage of library facilities. We have also streamlined and reordered the presentation of language topics.
In addition to restructuring the text, we have incorporated several new elements to enhance the reader's understanding. Each chapter concludes with a Chapter Summary and glossary of Defined Terms, which recap the chapter's most important points. Readers should use these sections as a personal checklist: If you do not understand a term, restudy the corresponding part of the chapter.
We've also incorporated a number of other learning aids in the body of the text:
- Important terms are indicated in bold; important terms that we assume are already familiar to the reader are indicated in bold italics. Each term appears in the chapter's Defined Terms section.
- Throughout the book, we highlight parts of the text to call attention to important aspects of the language, warn about common pitfalls, suggest good programming practices, and provide general usage tips. We hope that these notes will help readers more quickly digest important concepts and avoid common pitfalls.
- To make it easier to follow the relationships among features and concepts, we provide extensive forward and backward cross-references.
- We have provided sidebar discussions that focus on important concepts and supply additional explanations for topics that programmers new to C++ often find most difficult.
- Learning any programming language requires writing programs. To that end, the primer provides extensive examples throughout the text.Our intent is to provide a clear, complete and correct guide to the language. We teach the language by presenting a series of examples, which, in addition to explaining language features, show how to make the best use of C++. Although knowledge of C (the language on which C++ was originally based) is not assumed, we do assume the reader has programmed in a modern block-structured language.Structure of This Book
C++ Primer provides an introduction to the International Standard on C++, covering both the language proper and the extensive library that is part of that standard. Much of the power of C++ comes from its support for programming with abstractions. Learning to program effectively in C++ requires more than learning new syntax and semantics. Our focus is on how to use the features of C++ to write programs that are safe, that can be built quickly, and yet offer performance comparable to the sorts of low-level programs often written in C.
C++ is a large language and can be daunting to new users. Modern C++ can be thought of as comprising three parts:
- The low-level language, largely inherited from C
- More advanced language features that allow us to define our own data types and to organize large-scale programs and systems
- The standard library, which uses these advanced features to provide a set of useful data structures and algorithms
Most texts present C++ in this same order: They start by covering the low-level details and then introduce the more advanced language features. They explain the standard library only after having covered the entire language. The result, all too often, is that readers get bogged down in issues of low-level programming or the complexities of writing type definitions and never really understand the power of programming in a more abstract way. Needless to say, readers also often do not learn enough to build their own abstractions.
In this edition we take a completely different tack. We start by covering the basics of the language and the library together. Doing so allows you, the reader, to write significant programs. Only after a thorough grounding in using the library-- and writing the kinds of abstract programs that the library allows--do we move on to those features of C++ that will enable you to write your own abstractions.
Parts I and II cover the basic language and library facilities. The focus of these parts is to learn how to write C++ programs and how to use the abstractions from the library. Most C++ programmers need to know essentially everything covered in this portion of the book.
In addition to teaching the basics of C++, the material in Parts I and II serves another important purpose. The library facilities are themselves abstract data types written in C++. The library can be defined using the same class-construction features that are available to any C++ programmer. Our experience in teaching C++ is that by first using well-designed abstract types, readers find it easier to understand how to build their own types.
Parts III through V focus on how we can write our own types. Part III introduces the heart of C++: its support for classes. The class mechanism provides the basis for writing our own abstractions. Classes are also the foundation for object-oriented and generic programming, which we cover in Part IV. The Primer concludes with Part V, which covers advanced features that are of most use in structuring large, complex systems.
From the Back Cover
"C++ Primer is well known as one of the best books for learning C++ and is useful for C++ programmers of all skill levels. This Fourth Edition not only keeps this tradition alive, it actually improves on it."
--Steve Vinoski, Chief Engineer, Product Innovation, IONA Technologies
"The Primer really brings this large and complex language down to size."
--Justin Shaw, Senior Member of Technical Staff, Electronic Programs Division, The Aerospace Corporation
"It not only gets novices up and running early, but gets them to do so using good programming practices."
--Nevin ":-)" Liber, Senior Principal Engineer (C++ developer since 1988)
This popular tutorial introduction to standard C++ has been completely updated, reorganized, and rewritten to help programmers learn the language faster and use it in a more modern, effective way.
Just as C++ has evolved since the last edition, so has the authors' approach to teaching it. They now introduce the C++ standard library from the beginning, giving readers the means to write useful programs without first having to master every language detail. Highlighting today's best practices, they show how to write programs that are safe, can be built quickly, and yet offer outstanding performance. Examples that take advantage of the library, and explain the features of C++, also show how to make the best use of the language. As in its previous editions, the book's authoritative discussion of fundamental C++ concepts and techniques makes it a valuable resource even for more experienced programmers.Program Faster and More Effectively with This Rewritten Classic
- Restructured for quicker learning, using the C++ standard library
- Updated to teach the most current programming styles and program design techniques
- Filled with new learning aids that emphasize important points, warn about common pitfalls, suggest good programming practices, and provide general usage tips
- Complete with exercises that reinforce skills learned
- Authoritative and comprehensive in its coverage

Some reviewers have commented that this book is not an easy read for the beginners. It is probably true, as this book has packed almost all important C++ concepts along with standard industry practice to it. However, if you really want to master C++, you have to understand them after all. Since the book is very concise and does not have repetition or duplicated paragraphs, it is advisable to read each chapter a few times to absorb them.
As a C++ programmer for a quite few years, I still find this 4th edition to be a valuable book both as an introduction and a reference manual. Excellent book!
The book is laid out in approximately 17 different chapters which are then divided into an average of 9-15 sections. Each chapter is focused on one key subject such as the begining steps and more advanced techniques to use your code. Within those chapters you have each section slowly explaining in detail what each bit of code you're seeing is doing.
Now as I've said before, this book explains every bit of code in detail, but this doesn't mean that this book isn't for just beginners. The books cover states that over 48,000 programmers have learned the coding language from beginners to more advanced.
About every other page contains tips and secrets to successful coding which stand out in gray boxes. Some of the most smallest things are mentioned here such as how comments work in your code to how your code should be formatted. These tips will help you inprove your coding habits very much.
Now you're probably thinking, "This is just another one of those reviews which show each good part of the book. It's not like they're going to give me any info on weak parts of the book!", Well in fact you're wrong. This book isn't all positive. There's some parts in this book which can be very annoying such as lacking a glossary of needed terms even though most terms are put in bold print. There are very good examples of code in this book, but not all of them are the most interesting.Read more ›

This 4th edition is a tremendous improvement over the others. The material has been completely reorganized and updated and is much more effectively presented. The text is sprinkled with highlighted tips, notes, warnings, and best practices that not only helpful in learning the material but in applying it well. Each chapter is summarized at the end and has a glossary of important terms and concepts. Exercises at the end of each section make this book a good candidate for classroom use as well as individual study. They even knocked 300 pages off the length of the 3rd edition!
If you want to learn C++ thoroughly and well using just one book, this is the book to buy.
You might ask how a book can be the most comprehensive available without being longer in page count. The answer comes down to style. This book rarely expends space on full-length, executable code examples. The treatment of nine out of ten subjects offers only snippets of code - not complete executable examples. Many books offer examples that take up multiple pages for the code and multiple pages for the line-by-line explanations of the code. This difference in presentation is the single biggest reason why C++ Primer can offer so much more thorough coverage of C++ language features in fewer than 900 pages. The downside is, if you intend to learn C++, you absolutely must experiment with working code - there is no other way. The fact that this book does not offer much complete working code means that you will have to spend more time getting yourself set up to experiment. This will be especially true if you are a beginner, just because it will be harder to get things working.
The conciseness of code examples is matched by conciseness of explanations. In this regard, however, I have found no downside: the vast majority of explanations are extremely clear to the point of elegance. I've found only a few flaws in clarity, which are probably left over from earlier editions.
The tremendous depth of this book will be another weakness for newcomers to C++ who need to get started quickly. In my opinion, you just can't get started quickly when every treatment of every subject has to cover all of the ins and outs of that subject. There are too many subjects and too many ins and outs. If you try to go straight through the book, you'd better be prepared to work lots and lots of problems along the way: it will take so long to get through it that if you don't practice as you go, you may find yourself forgetting almost as fast as you're learning.
The other side of the coin is this: if you really do take this book, work through it from start to finish, and really master the material, you'll have a fantastic knowledge of C++. I seriously doubt that three good college courses in C++ - assuming no prior programming experience - would teach as much. The fact that you'll have to develop your own working code to demonstrate each feature will, like the depth of treatment, make you a better programmer, even though it seriously slows you down in the process.
You can conclude, then that if you are a newcomer to C++, and especially if you are inexperienced with programming in general, this book will be a long, hard climb. I'd be willing to bet that fewer than 5 percent of purchasers of this book start at the beginning and work straight through. Even so, if you are a newcomer taking a C++ programming class or just using another book to get started, it will be valuable for parallel reading and will come in very handy when you want to do a deep dive. Finally, don't forget that if you have a basic grounding in C++ fundamentals and you want to grow from there, this is a dynamite, five-star opportunity.
I feel like I have to elaborate here a bit as well. Time after time after time, when I've wanted a better understanding of a really fine point on the language, I've turned to this book and been rewarded for doing so. Every single subject is explained fully and, in most cases, eloquently. You can learn to do a lot quickly in C++ using other resources, but C++ offers the ability to fine tune and get close to the hardware. This book will make you better understand what the compiler is doing. The authors took the time to make extensive use of cross-references, which are invaluable in a subject this complex. The explanations, bolstered by cross-references, tend to leave me more than satisfied that I've gotten a grip. When I finish a section and have some example code executing, I feel like I have a complete understanding: I rarely find myself asking, "... but what about ...." I could go on and on, but you get the message. (One reason I'm taking the time to write this is that I feel indebted to the authors!)
The book builds up a consistent set of semantics - more so than any other book I've read. One example is their thorough explanation and consistent use of the terms "declare" and "define." Another is example is "argument" and "parameter list." Unambiguous semantics are essential to unambiguous communication, and, as you know, programming is one of the most unforgiving disciplines there is; ambiguity is intolerable. This attention to detail pervades the entire book, beyond just semantics.
Also, like with Stroustrup's book, I don't have to worry about whether the authors got it right or wrong or only half-right. This is an authoritative work: these guys know their subject as well as they know how to communicate it.
I especially like the dark page summaries and glossaries that act as chapter boundaries. I like the highlighted notes, tips, "bewares," and best practices. I like the blocks of text that address "cautions." These features are value-multipliers for me.
I also appreciate that there is absolutely no subconscious assumption that you already know C. That assumption seems to creep into so many other books, even though the authors deny it.
I agree with other reviewers that this edition is a huge improvement over previous editions. (I have the second edition beside me as I write this.) Frankly, I don't like the earlier editions. My guess is that the new authors, who came on board for this edition, should get a lot of credit. (I know an absolutely brilliant guy who has done some real innovation with C++. For example, he wrote a C++ library that allows you to write C++ in Python style, while getting C++ performance. This same guy was so intimidated by an earlier edition of Primer that he put off trying to learn C++ for several years! I'm still trying to convince him to get the fourth edition!)
So the fourth edition is a vast improvement, but, assuming that we don't try to make it all things to all readers and stick with the objective of compact comprehensiveness, how could we improve it further? The code examples could be simpler. I think Schildt is the master of communicating through code examples, just because his examples do the best job of isolating on the subject at hand. C++ is an extremely broad language, and when I read about a concept, I don't want to be expected to know everything, especially code examples, that preceded it in the book. Primer could do a better job - at least for me - in that respect. Examples should not be codependent: each example should lean only on the preceding material as much as is necessary to get the point across. Stated another way, OO programmers are big on encapsulation; OO tutorial writers should use the same rigor in encapsulating modules of tutorial text. All experts agree that the best code is code that is easily readable. In a tutorial, the meaning of the code examples should jump off the page. Primer is not bad in this regard, but it could be better. Some will argue that leaning on previous material reinforces the learning of the material, and they will be right. In my opinion, however, that argument applies mostly to course textbooks where the learning of diverse features can be forced into a tightly channeled sequence. I often use Schildt and Holtzner for reference when I need a quick answer. (As an aside, Stroustrup's book is the worst, for me, in terms of code examples being unnecessarily complex and codependent, even though I consider his book second only to this one as an indispensable reference.)
Bottom line: C++ Primer is an amazing accomplishment. The authors have done the best job to date of sorting out and presenting in lucid fashion a vast and complex network of features. I speak from experience as a technical writer as well as a student of C++. I feel guilty for assigning only four stars, but I'm concerned about the newbie who sees a 5-star rating on a "primer," and rushes to spend his limited budget on this book as a sole reference. C++ Primer is a very wise investment if you are really serious about C++, whether newbie or expert, but most newbies will also need a primary resource that is more beginner-oriented. Other books I recommend, in addition to the ones mentioned previously, include Prata (a good tutorial and a good resource for complete code examples, although there is significant codependence of examples); Lafore; Josuttis' classic STL book (definitely not for beginners); Schildt's STL book, also for its code examples; Keough and Gray (for quick reference only); and Safir and Brown (which does assume that you know C).
on C++, but this is by no means a primer book. If you are new to C++,
read the book "C++ primer plus" first. It is so funny that the book
"C++ primer plus" (which is also a great book) is really an introductory
book. The names of these two books should be swapped because this book
introduces more advanced topics and the topics that an experience programmer should know but a student does not need to. From my teaching experience in a state university, I would suggest students to read C++ books in the following order:
C++ primer Plus
C++ Primer
Thinking in C++ (great book, free on the internet)
The C++ Programming Language (by Stroustrup)
Then you may want to read some books on special topics such as Visual C++, Database, etc.
The Good: This book is over 800 pages long, and it is quite complete in its coverage, but it is highly readable. The "C++ Primer" can be used as an introductory text: the authors have interspersed a myriad of code snippets throughout the text (which they also integrated into complete working programs; these are provided on the publisher's website, packaged for different platforms). Similarly, there are exercises at the end of most sections; these are well thought out, and greatly facilitate the reader's learning (unauthorized solutions exist on the web in the form of a wiki). Furthermore, throughout the book parts of the text have been highlighted to call attention to common pitfalls, good programming practices, and important concepts. Finally, each chapter concludes with a summary and a glossary of defined terms. In contradistinction to many other popular volumes, this book teaches real C++, not "C with classes", i.e., it contains extensive treatments of the standard library containers and algorithms, of object-oriented programming, and of generic programming. For example, the coverage of the standard library in this book is much more extensive than in "C++ Primer Plus" by Stephen Prata, a book that is often compared with (or confused with) the "C++ Primer". Even so, the "C++ Primer" also covers a number of older topics such as C-style character strings, lower-level bit manipulation of integral values, and old-style casts. The material in this book is thematically organized (pointers, expressions, functions, classes, constructors, object-oriented programming, template programming, etc.). This, along with the many forward and backward cross-references, makes it a great reference both for people who have never read it, and for those who read it a while back.
The Bad: Object-oriented programming is covered in approximately 60 pages. The coverage is solid, just like in the rest of the book, but it is condensed. For the sake of comparison: Josuttis's book "Object-Oriented Programming in C++" devotes 170 pages on more or less the same topics. In other words, an object-oriented design background, while not strictly necessary, would make reading this book easier. This aspect of "condensedness" is a more general feature of reading the "C++ Primer": even though the book is quite long, there is no filler material. This slows the reader down, so it might interfere with one's progress when using this as a first C++ book. For example, the first 300 pages (perhaps mention but) do not discuss in detail the standard library algorithms, smart pointers, object-oriented or generic programming, and other aspects of professional C++ development. A related point: I mentioned above that the book works as a reference since it is complete and contains many cross-references. A side-effect of this is that some of the earlier chapters make repeated mention of topics that have not yet been covered; that's great if this is your second C++ book (since it means every chapter is complete), but is potentially too much information for a total newbie. Finally, this book was intentionally limited to Standard C++. As a result, it doesn't talk about TR1 (a specification for functionality being added to C++'s standard library) or boost (a collection of libraries offering TR1 implementations and much more), or threading in C++. A 5th edition of the "C++ Primer" will probably appear after the new standard (still known as C++0x) comes out.
Despite the few drawbacks that I have noted above, I believe that this is a wonderful book which deserves 5 stars.
Here are my suggestions on related reading.
Recommended prequel:
* Accelerated C++, by Andrew Koenig and Barbara E. Moo
An excellent first book on C++. Goes through many topics quite fast, but is highly readable. Covers essentially all of standard C++ in under 300 pages (see also my review of it on amazon).
Recommended follow-up:
* Effective C++, 3rd edition, by Scott Meyers
This assumes you have already come across all of the material contained in the "C++ Primer". It offers solid advice on numerous aspects of effective C++ development. Meyers also describes a few design patterns as well as more modern topics like TR1.
Alexandros Gezerlis
While the treatment is thorough, I found far too many typos in a 4th edition. I really abhor typos in a technical book where the characters in an example MUST be right for it to work.
Barbara Moo gave me a copy of the errata (I submitted a number of errors I found). But one of the MAJOR shortcomings is why do I have to look up the author's to get an errata? Shouldn't the errata be on Addison's web site? (I just looked -- its not there -- I sent them a message). Also, be able to find the answers would be valuable (For a reader, examples without answers don't
necessarily help much).
I don't think its an introductory programming book. I just looked up the word "primer" -- this book goes far beyond what a
"primer" would contain. It covers C++ in depth. A number of subjects are covered in a way so a range of solutions ot problems
are presented from bad to good to introduce new features.
One thing I missed was full examples of working programs, being dissected. There are a lot of snippets. not whole programs. I find larger examples would be a good teaching tool.
Overall, this is a very positive review -- the best, most thorough treatment I've read -- with some caveats.

The ST200's upgrades are healthy improvements over the current Fiesta ST in Europe, which makes 180 hp and 177 lb-ft of torque (197 hp and 214 lb-ft during overboost). They would even be welcome additions in the US because the version here already has 197 hp, but it has 202 lb-ft – 12 lb-ft less than the new variant.
The extra power lets the hotter hatch sprint to 62 miles per hour in 6.7 seconds and a top speed of 143 mph. In comparison, the current Fiesta ST in Europe takes 6.9 seconds to get to 62 and tops out at 139 mph.
The ST200's appearance remains subdued, despite the extra performance. The exterior is available in a bland exclusive color called Storm Grey, and it rides on 17-inch matte black wheels with machined details. Red brake calipers provide a pop of color. Inside, front passengers sit in partial-leather Recaro sport seats with contrasting silver stitching.
ST200 production starts in June, but North American customers shouldn't get excited about the updates. Ford spokesperson Aaron Miller told Autoblog that the hotter Fiesta ST wouldn't arrive here "for the foreseeable future. This is a European specific vehicle."
• Ford unveils new 200 PS Fiesta ST200 version of acclaimed Fiesta ST hot hatch delivering 10 per cent more power and 20 per cent more torque for 6.7 second 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) acceleration and even better in-gear performance
• Most powerful production Fiesta ever also features exclusive specification with unique Storm Grey exterior, machined matt black alloy wheels and special interior detailing
• New Ford Kuga makes European motor show debut in Geneva; offers ergonomic interior with SYNC 3 connectivity, bold and sporty exterior and fuel-efficient new 120 PS 1.5-litre TDCi diesel engine
• All-new Ford GT road- and race-cars are displayed side-by-side for the first time in Europe
COLOGNE, Germany, Feb. 29, 2016 – The acclaimed Ford Fiesta ST compact hot hatch is about to get even hotter.
Ford will today reveal ahead of the Geneva Motor Show a new Ford Fiesta ST200 model that delivers 10 per cent more power and 20 per cent more torque, with 200 PS and 290 Nm from a specially calibrated 1.6-litre EcoBoost petrol engine.
The most powerful production Fiesta ever, the Fiesta ST200 will sprint from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 6.7 seconds, and will feature an exclusive specification including unique Storm Grey exterior, distinctive machined matt black alloy wheels and special interior detailing.
Production of the Fiesta ST200 begins in June with first deliveries to customers expected soon after.
"The Fiesta ST is truly beloved by owners and critics. The ST200 takes this special drivers' car to a new level of power and performance," said Joe Bakaj, vice president, Product Development, Ford of Europe. "I think it's a future classic in the making."
Also on display in Geneva will be the new Ford Kuga – making its European motor show debut – and road- and race-car versions of the Ford GT ultra-high-performance supercar side-by-side in Europe for the first time.
Fiesta ST 200
In addition to the exclusive exterior colour and 17-inch alloy wheel specification, Fiesta ST200 models also will feature red painted brake callipers and an enhanced interior with unique partial leather Charcoal Recaro front seats and contrasting silver stitching, alongside illuminated scuff plates and seatbelts with silver detailing.
The Fiesta ST200's 1.6-litre EcoBoost engine can deliver an additional 15 PS and 30 Nm of torque for up to 20 seconds using transient overboost. A 4.06 ratio final drive – shortened from 3.82 in the Fiesta ST – further enhances in-gear acceleration for improved drivability and an even more fun to drive experience. Top speed is 230 km/h (143 mph).
Like the Fiesta ST, the ST200 delivers optimised cornering and agility using:
• Enhanced Torque Vectoring Control and 3-mode Electronic Stability Control
• A specially modified front steering knuckle
• An adapted rear twist-beam with increased roll-stiffness
• Unique front and rear spring and damper settings with a 15 mm lower centre of gravity
• Sharper 13.69:1 steering ratio and shortened steering arm
• Enhanced braking system with a larger tandem brake master cylinder and rear disc brakes
The Fiesta ST launched in 2013, delivering 182 PS and 240 Nm of torque from a 1.6 litre EcoBoost engine and 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) acceleration in 6.9 seconds – quickly establishing itself as the Europe's leading compact performance hatchback and earning more than 20 awards around the world within its first year on sale. Ford has since sold 30,000 Fiesta STs in Europe.
New Kuga delivers SYNC 3
The new Ford Kuga is displayed in Geneva after showcasing Ford's new SYNC 3 communications and entertainment system for the first time in Europe at the Mobile World Congress communications conference in Barcelona.
SYNC 3 offers a more intuitive and simpler to use experience for drivers, with faster performance and more conversational voice commands. Kuga drivers also can operate SYNC 3's 8-inch touchscreen with pinch and swipe gestures. iPhone users can activate Apple CarPlay, and Android™ users can activate Android Auto™, two interfaces built specifically for those types of smartphones.
The new Kuga is designed to make driving simpler, safer, more enjoyable and more affordable using innovative Ford driver assistance technologies, an ergonomic and comfortable interior and fuel-efficient powertrains – including a new 120 PS 1.5-litre TDCi diesel targeting a 5 per cent fuel efficiency improvement compared with the outgoing 120 PS 2.0-litre TDCi. The new Kuga also features a bold and sporty new exterior.
Road- and race-car Ford GTs side-by-side
Ford earlier this month confirmed that four Ford Chip Ganassi Racing Ford GTs – two competing in the 2016 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) and two in the 2016 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship – will race for GTE Pro class glory at the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race on June 18-19.
Ford is returning to Le Mans 50 years after achieving a legendary 1-2-3 finish at the 1966 race with the original Ford GT40 race-car. The four cars will carry race numbers 66, 67, 68 and 69 in a nod to Ford's four successive Le Mans victories between 1966 and 1969.
Accompanying the race- and road-car Ford GTs in Geneva will be four Ford Chip Ganassi Racing Le Mans drivers; Stefan Muecke, Olivier Pla and Andy Priaulx from the WEC; and Dirk Mueller from the IMSA championship.
The pinnacle of the Ford Performance line-up, the all-new Ford GT serves as a technology showcase for EcoBoost performance, aerodynamics and lightweight carbon fibre construction.
The Ford GT will be one of the most exclusive Ford vehicles ever with limited volume sold around the world and production for customers in Europe starting late this year.
"Whether it's the new Fiesta ST200, or our game-changing all-new Focus RS, or the groundbreaking Ford GT supercar, our Ford Performance offering has never been so strong," said Raj Nair, Ford executive vice president and chief technical officer, Global Product Development. "Ford's EcoBoost engine technology has enabled a Ford Performance model to suit every budget and lifestyle."

The family is the traditional Jewish institution for religious expression, education, performance of ritual, and sanctification of life's events. The practice of traditional Judaism is centered around the home. The Home is The Temple, the Parents are the Priests, and the Dining Table is the Altar. Eating (and just about everything else a Jew does) is transformed into a holy act, augmented by rituals, related to fundamental values. The core practices that traditionally define Jewishness are all home-centered.
A synagogue is an institution where Jews gather for congregational prayer and study. A synagogue may also be called a shul. This is a Yiddish word meaning "school", and is pronounced "shool". The original Hebrew term is Beit Ha-Knesset, which means "House of Assembly". "Synagogue" is originally Greek, and also means "assembly". Reform Judaism calls its synagogues "temples", and to some extent this has caught on to other movements. But traditionally "the temple" refers to The Temple (the original in Jerusalem, described in the Bible) and no other.
A synagogue is not required for congregational prayer, and many Jews meet for congregational prayer in homes, campus auditoriums, and wherever appropriate space can be found. A full service can be conducted anywhere. Physical space is not made holy in Judaism; only time can be sanctified, and that is effected by our intent. So the congregation can be holy, but not the building. Synagogues are "dedicated" using the same procedure as any other building.
A synagogue is supported primarily by annual dues from its membership. It is run by lay people. The membership elects its officials and committees from among themselves. The synagogue hires employees (and organizes volunteers) as needed.
In America, most synagogues are affiliated with one of three philosophical movements: Orthodox, Conservative, or Reform. Other philosophical movements (e.g., Reconstructionist) don't have as many synagogues although they meet for congregational prayer.
Judaism places great value on forging and nurturing independent personal religious philosophies. Judaism's expectations are much more rigorous about deed than creed. Therefore, separate movements are only recognized when their adherents change the prescriptions for how Jews ought to deport themselves in prayer and/or in life.
There are minor differences in liturgical practices and synagogue customs that are characteristic of the three movements. For most congregants, Jewish communities are more clearly defined in terms of differring practices than any elements of faith. That is to say, most Jews shop around for a community that practices Judaism they way they want to (including holding services they are comfortable with). Then they move to that neighborhood and/or join that synagogue. They are part of that congregation, even though others who practice similarly may do so for different reasons, and possess very different philosophies.
