*A Barnes & Noble Teen Blog's Most Anticipated LGBTQAP YA Book of 2019* Jenna Watson is a cheerleader. And she wants you to know it’s not some Hollywood crap: they are not every guy’s fantasy. They are not the “mean girls” of Marsen High School. They’re literally just human females trying to live their lives and do a perfect toe touch. And their team is at the top of their game. They’re a family. But all that changes when Jenna’s best friend stops talking to her. Suddenly, she’s not getting invited out with the rest of the squad. She’s always a step behind. And she has no idea why. While grappling with post-cheer life, Jenna explores things she never allowed herself to like, including LARPing (live action role playing) and a relationship with a trans guy that feels a lot like love. When Jenna loses the sport and the friends she’s always loved, she has to ask herself: What else is left?

A company of infantryman is one of the most powerful and versatile weapons at a nation’s disposal. Capable of any number of tasks assigned to them, these are men for whom the mission always comes first. These are men of honor, men of loyalty, created for one purpose: destroy the enemies of their nation in armed conflict. But what happens when divisions begin to become evident in the heart and soul of these men? What happens when they begin to question their creation, question their reality, and question all they have been trained to hold dear? For the commander of Combat Outpost Chemera, these questions become all too real when events begin to spiral out of control during operations in several isolated mountain villages in the war-torn nation they have been sent to occupy. Boredom, poor decision making, treasonous actions, and the grim reality of death lurking around every corner send the captain spiraling into his books, into his childhood memories, and into an examination of his military career. How were we meant to live our lives? What gives us real purpose? Sometimes the experience of war is the only way to find the answer.

Most Enterprises today struggle with an unmanageable backlog of projects of various sizes and needs. Traditional approaches, tools, and platforms alone cannot support this growing need. Low-code No-Code platforms provide an alternative that can ease the pressure on traditional developers and IT teams by allowing business users and analysts to build applications and solve their own problems to a great extent. This book is a Quick Reference guide for anyone, interested in or looking to onboard a low code or Citizen Development platform within their organizations. It covers topics ranging from what is low code no code, types of platforms, choosing the right vendor, and identifying and delivering projects. It also looks at governance and operating models, to use after the successful completion of the first such project, and ways to sustain and grow a low-code culture in the organization.
