If you’d like to learn more about these libraries, I highly recommend reading this article about the top 15 Python libraries for data science. These libraries simplify and expedite most of the tasks in data science, from data cleaning to creating machine learning models. The second reason is the numerous, extremely helpful Python libraries. Since people from various technical and non-technical backgrounds work in the data science ecosystem, a programming language that is not difficult to learn is likely to be their first choice. Its syntax is clear, intuitive, and highly readable. The first is that Python is easy to learn. There are two main reasons why Python is the most preferred language among aspiring data scientists and people who work in the field of data science. The PYPL Index is created by analyzing how often language tutorials are searched on Google. The use of Python in data science has been the most influential factor in its proliferation.Īccording to the Popularity of Programming Language Index ( PYPL Index), Python is currently the most popular language, and it grew the most in the last 5 years. However, it has gained much of its popularity in recent years. Python was first released in 1991, so it has been around for a long while. SunMedia Goodbye Terry FoxĪs noted by Port Coquitlam Mayor Brad West, the new passport has also ditched the iconic image of Terry Fox on his run for the cure. The watermarked Terry Fox image in the former Canadian passport.

She might be my latest conquest but I have a feeling Scarlett King might just conquer me. I just didn’t bargain on finding my one night stand across the boardroom table the next day. The bite of her teeth on my shoulder just as we both reach the edge. The scrape of her nails across my chest as she screams my name. The skim of Scarlett King’s hair over my body as she bends over. To take my mind off business I need a night that’s all pleasure. Now, the only way I can save the empire I built is to inherit the title I’ve never wanted- so I need a wife.

In the essay section of his novel 1985, Anthony Burgess states that Orwell got the idea for the name of Big Brother from advertising billboards for educational correspondence courses from a company called Bennett's during World War II. In modern culture, the term "Big Brother" has entered the lexicon as a synonym for abuse of government power, particularly in respect to civil liberties, often specifically related to mass surveillance and a lack of choice in society. The people are constantly reminded of this by the slogan "Big Brother is watching you": a maxim that is ubiquitously on display throughout the novel. In the society that Orwell describes, every citizen is under constant surveillance by the authorities, mainly by telescreens (with the exception of the Proles). He is ostensibly the leader of Oceania, a totalitarian state wherein the ruling party, Ingsoc, wields total power "for its own sake" over the inhabitants. Big Brother is a fictional character and symbol in George Orwell's dystopian 1949 novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. Indeed, one of the best moments in this book occurs towards the end, where Horowitz, mimicking the notorious certitude of the Cesar Millan school of trainers, offers a list called, "What You Need to Be Prepared for Your Puppy. Speaking as the owner of a beloved, but unexpectedly big rescue mutt with reactivity issues, I wouldn't trust Horowitz if she didn't have regrets.Īs anyone familiar with Horowitz's previous books knows, The Year of the Puppy is not a training manual. : Alexandra Horowitz: Books 1-16 of 38 results RESULTS The Year of the Puppy: How Dogs Become Themselves by Alexandra Horowitz 4.6 (119) Hardcover 239928.00 FREE delivery Tue, Jan 17 on 25 of items shipped by Amazon More Buying Choices 18. And, during the months that follow, she confesses to having regrets. So, out of professional curiosity and a perverse desire to add a tiny peeing, pooping, biting, barking, yodeling fur-ball to her family - which then already consisted of husband, young son, two mature dogs, and one cat - Horowitz decides to adopt a puppy. But, as she generously admits in her latest book, The Year of the Puppy, there's plenty she doesn't know. Horowitz is a canine psychologist - an authority on how dogs perceive the world. Rogers was to children, Alexandra Horowitz is to dogs: a wise and patient observer who seeks to intimately know a creature who is fundamentally different from us adult humans. on all Childrens Books Alexandra Horowitz Alexandra Horowitz teaches psychology at Barnard College, Columbia University.

A collection of sci-fi, fantasy, steam punk and horror short stories The final chapter resolves the restoration of Jehanne’s good name. French words and terms are unexplained, relying on context for meaning. Mariane’s trial to claim her right as liege mistress of La Paix involves an evil priest, her father’s stolen ring/seal and an all-important letter from Jehanne. The interplay of politics and religion, rigors of 15th-century life and the immediacy of combat are compellingly told with believable dialogue. The two storylines move in concentric circles: Mariane’s redemption of her mother’s murder (witnessing it left her voiceless) and her own battle to keep her deceitful uncle, Sir Gaston, from stealing the estate that was her inheritance and Jehanne’s (old French spelling) belief in her voices that tell her she must lead a crusade to rescue her country. This fictionalized story about the woman who became a saint is given an unusual perspective through the eyes of Joan’s mute cousin and best friend, Mariane, who rides in battle beside her. Fascination with Joan of Arc has continued for over 500 years. We hear from Leesha and Rojur as they travel back from Jardir’s conquered city. We hear from Arlen and Renna as they travel back. Much of the book is spent basically getting everyone back to Cutter’s Hollow. The book would have been better without this back story…it just bogged things down so much. These parts are lengthy…but still seem rushed…like Brett is trying to give a quick outline of a whole series full of events from Inevera’s perspective. The story about Inevera’s past recounts a lot of events we have already been present for, but this time we see them from Inevera’s perspective. From then on we bounce between Inevera’s past and present while occasionally hearing from Arlen or Leesha in the present. The story starts out following Arlen and Renna as they journey back to Cutter’s Hollow. There is a lot that I didn’t really enjoy about this book. Like the previous book, this book was incredibly slow moving until the last 100 pages or so. Thanks to NetGalley and Del Rey for the chance to review this book. I got a copy of this book to review through NetGalley. The fourth book will be titled, The Skull Throne, and is scheduled for a 2014 release. This is the third book in the Demon Cycle by Brett. Stand Alone or Series: 3rd book in the Demon Cycle We had questions, and we would not stop until we had the answers. There was no alternative to our lives but death. Was it only a few days ago that our history was taught in two stages? The time before the dome was spoken of in reverent tones, while the time since was nothing more than a cautionary tale to keep the unprivileged in their proper place. When did our forefathers decide that it was necessary to save our race by going inside a dome? Was it the moment they saw the comet in the sky, or was it later, when they realized the deadly implications of its existence? Was one voice responsible for the decision, or were many involved? These things are not taught to us, only that the decision was made. The question that often puzzles me is how do you pinpoint the exact moment, the precise word, or the final action that changes everything for everyone? My own history has to have such a moment, yet I have no idea of how it occurred. Whether it is for the better or for the worse can only be told after time has passed and stories are written by those who witnessed it. There are moments in history when drastic change comes about. |
