Book excerpt: Visitors flock to Central Florida for its mild winters, pristine waterways, and proximity to Atlantic and Gulf beaches, and in the heart of Central Florida lies Altamonte Springs, the largest city in Seminole County. Taking its name from the many spring-fed lakes and sand hills that make up the area, Altamonte Springs is now home to more than 40,000 residents. Developed into a winter resort town in the late 1800s during the area's first tourism boom, Altamonte Springs became a sunny playground for the wealthy and an oasis for those requiring a "healing" environment in which to recuperate from various ailments. Times were good, but this was just the beginning of the once tiny village's growth and prosperity. From the era when rolling pineland along the lakes drew the first settlers to the area that would became Altamonte Springs, this community has attracted visitors and new residents from far and wide. The early railroad transported winter tourists who sought the medicinal qualities of local springs, and this influx of people led to the development of many businesses, including Fuller's Store, the grand Altamonte Hotel, and the Jasmine Theater. After surviving the challenges brought about by the Great Freeze of 1894-1895, the city continued to grow, and its citizens, with an unyielding spirit, continued to work, worship, socialize, and raise families in the community they called home. Today, Altamonte Springs is the bustling retail center of Seminole County.

Book excerpt: It is morning. The sun is shining through your bedroom window. You hear the alarm clock ringing, and the birds are chirping outside. You try with all of your strength to move, but you are held in place upon your bed by a force you cannot explain. A voice is speaking to you in a faintly audible sound. You are terrified by what is happening, but you cannot move. The voice becomes louder until it is the only sound you can hear in the room. And then, suddenly, everything is swept away into blackness, and you can no longer see anything. You hear the voice again saying, You have been assigned to take The Test.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 73 families resided in Town of Altamonte Springs in 1930. Fifty years prior, the town of SNOWVILLE was founded on land where patrons of ALTAMONTE Mall currently park. After 50 years, Altamonte Springs had only added 72 families? A former prisoner of the Civil War, a Citrus farmer, and town founder, Edgar J. SNOW resided on 160 acres that extended east to enchanting LAKE ADELAIDE, a spring-fed lake he named for his wife. Across this spring-fed lake was George SUSSY's citrus grove. George was also a former prisoner of the Civil War. Sussy did not establish a town, but a portion of his farm is today the busy intersection of 436 and Maitland Avenue. Neither SNOW nor SUSSY came from New England. Neither were Boston Capitalists, a vague title often assigned to the founders of Altamonte Springs. Sworn enemies in 1861, Snow and Sussy were both imprisoned in 1864, each sent to the worst prison camps Union and Confederate Armies had to offer, and then in 1880, they were neighbors. Central Florida brought Union and Confederates together as neighbors, assisting in the healing a war-torn nation. Central Florida transformed retired warriors into civic leaders, business partners, and over time, friends. A Snow - Sussy story can be found throughout Central Florida, and yet nowhere was this historic account more prevalent than in Orange County's highlands region - modern day Seminole County. Altamont; Altamonte; Hoosier and Shepherd Springs; Palm Springs and Sanlando, each play a fascinating role in a history that culminates with Altamonte Springs. The amazing people were real, their inspiring stories accurate. A History of Altamonte Springs, Florida includes 44 Exhibits and a supporting bibliography of 350 references. Central Florida's story is the second home of America's Proud History! Central Florida's story has always fascinated me. Since arriving in these parts in the early 70's, I've been teased by how little is truly known about an abundance of history that stares us in the face daily. Where is Forest City and Palm Springs? If Altamonte Springs got its name from a spring in Lake Adelaide, who named Lake Adelaide? What was Clarcona? Why was Orlando named for person's first name? Hundreds of Central Florida town names date to the 19th Century, and yet the 1900 Census reports fewer than 15,000 people lived in all of Orange, Osceola and Seminole Counties. So many tantalizing questions, so little substantial information. I set out on a mission to learn of the REAL history of Central Florida. That mission had to include learning of that enchanting gazebo sitting on the banks of charming Lake Adelaide. Who put it there? Who named the lake? Why does the sketch beg for the telling of a love story? CENTRAL FLORIDA: SECOND HOME OF AMERICA'S PROUD HISTORY!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, cities have come into closer contact and conflict with new technologies. From reactive policymaking in response to platform economy firms to proactive policymaking in an effort to develop into smart cities, urban governance is transforming at an unprecedented speed and scale. Innovative technologies promise a brave new world of convenience and cost effectiveness – powered by cameras that monitor our movements, sensors that line our streets, and algorithms that determine our resource allocation – but at what cost? Exploring the relationship between technology and cities, this book brings together an outstanding group of authors in the field to provide a critical and necessary examination of the disruption that is under way. They look at how cities should understand and regulate novel technologies, what can be learned from proposed and failed smart city projects, and how innovative economies change the structure of cities themselves. Contributors dig deeply into these and similar subjects, contributing their voices to an important dialogue on the future of urban policy and governance. The first collection of its kind, this groundbreaking volume brings together social, economic, and cultural insights to enhance our understanding of the ongoing technological upheaval in cities around the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deliver increased value by embedding quality into internal audit activities Internal Audit Quality: Developing a Quality Assurance and Improvement Program is a comprehensive and authoritative guide to better practice internal auditing. Written by a global expert in audit quality, this guide is the first to provide complete coverage of the elements that comprise an effective internal audit quality assurance and improvement program. Readers will find practical solutions for monitoring and measuring internal audit performance drawn from The IIA's International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing, and complemented by advice and case studies from leading audit practitioners from five different continents. Major corporate and financial collapses over the past decade have challenged the value of internal audit. With an increased focus on internal audit's role in good governance, management is increasingly demanding that internal audit provides assurance of the quality of its own activities. The IIA standards provide a framework for audit quality in the form of mandatory guidance . Recent research indicates that the majority of internal audit functions do not fully comply with the standards and, as a result, are not servicing the needs of their organizations as well as they might. Internal Audit Quality offers a roadmap to internal audit quality, providing readers the guidance they need to: Embed quality into all elements of internal audit from strategic and operational planning down to day-to-day tasks Create well-defined internal audit programs and procedures Independently self-assess internal audit quality and performance Conform with the IIA standards and better practice Provide assurance over internal audit efficiency and effectiveness Deliver value by meeting stakeholder expectations As a key component of good governance, internal audit is on the rise. The days of retrospective, compliance-focused auditing is a thing of the past. Organizations expect more of internal audit, and many internal audit activities are accepting the challenge. Rather than relying on audit supervision and external assessments, modern auditors are embedding quality into audit activities to create effective programs. For the auditor looking to distinguish themselves as leading edge, Internal Audit Quality provides the guidance that enables the right work, at the right time, in the right way.
