A compendium of straightforward techniques on how to accentuate the positive and redirect the negative, increasing productivity at work and at home. What do your people at work and your spouse and kids at home have in common with a five-ton killer whale? Probably a whole lot more than you think, according to top business consultant and mega-bestselling author Ken Blanchard and his coauthors from SeaWorld. In this moving and inspirational new book, Blanchard explains that both whales and people perform better when you accentuate the positive. He shows how using the techniques of animal trainers -- specifically those responsible for the killer whales of SeaWorld -- can supercharge your effectiveness at work and at home. When gruff business manager and family man Wes Kingsley visited SeaWorld, he marveled at the ability of the trainers to get these huge killer whales, among the most feared predators in the ocean, to perform amazing acrobatic leaps and dives. Later, talking to the chief tr

From #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Cassandra Clare and award-winning author Wesley Chu comes the second book in the Eldest Curses series, which continues the love story between Magnus Bane and Alec Lightwood. The Lost Book of the White is a Shadowhunters novel. Magnus Bane and Alec Lightwood are settling into domestic life with their son Max when the warlocks Ragnor Fell and Shinyun Jung break into their loft and steal a powerful spell book. Realizing that Ragnor and Shinyun are being controlled by a more sinister force, Magnus and Alec set out to stop them and recover the book before they can cause any more harm. With the help of Clary Fairchild, Jace Herondale, Isabelle Lightwood, and Simon Lovelace (who is fresh from the Shadowhunter Academy), they track the warlocks to Shanghai. But nothing is as it seems. Ragnor and Shinyun are working at the behest of a Greater Demon. Their goal is to open a Portal from the demon realms to Earth, flooding the city of Shanghai

From the Forward by Michael Lesk: Google has now developed services far beyond text search. Google software will translate languages and support collaborative writing. The chapters in this book look at many Google services, from music to finance, and describe how they can be used by students and other library users. Going beyond information resources, there are now successful collaboration services available from Google and others. You can make conference calls with video and shared screens using Google Hangouts, Writing documents with small numbers of colleagues often involved delays while each author in sequence took over the writing and made edits. Today Google Docs enables multiple people to edit the same document at once. An ingenious use of color lets each participant watch in real time as the other participants edit, and keeps track of who is doing what. If the goal is to create a website rather than to write a report, Google Sites is now one of the most popular platforms. Go

This unique and ground-breaking book is the result of 15 years research and synthesises over 800 meta-analyses on the influences on achievement in school-aged students. It builds a story about the power of teachers, feedback, and a model of learning and understanding. The research involves many millions of students and represents the largest ever evidence based research into what actually works in schools to improve learning. Areas covered include the influence of the student, home, school, curricula, teacher, and teaching strategies. A model of teaching and learning is developed based on the notion of visible teaching and visible learning. A major message is that what works best for students is similar to what works best for teachers - an attention to setting challenging learning intentions, being clear about what success means, and an attention to learning strategies for developing conceptual understanding about what teachers and students know and understand. Although the current evi

More than half of the analytics and machine learning (ML) models created by organizations today never make it into production. Some of the challenges and barriers to operationalization are technical, but others are organizational. Either way, the bottom line is that models not in production can't provide business impact. This book introduces the key concepts of MLOps to help data scientists and application engineers not only operationalize ML models to drive real business change but also maintain and improve those models over time. Through lessons based on numerous MLOps applications around the world, nine experts in machine learning provide insights into the five steps of the model life cycle--Build, Preproduction, Deployment, Monitoring, and Governance--uncovering how robust MLOps processes can be infused throughout. This book helps you: Fulfill data science value by reducing friction throughout ML pipelines and workflows Refine ML models through retraining, periodic tuning, and

Il saggio eremita Hung Ying-ming passò la sua vita lontano dalla gente, lasciandoci un libro che è un vero gioiello letterario. Le sue riflessioni ci trasmettono numerose perle di saggezza, perle che ci faranno riflettere sul modo in cui trattiamo noi stessi e gli altri, guidandoci verso un percorso leggermente diverso, ma migliore. Come ci fa notare il traduttore William Scott Wilson nella sua introduzione: "Lo spirito libero è forse l'espressione letteraria più raffinata dell'Unità dei Tre Credi - Confucianesimo, Buddhismo Chan (Zen) e Taoismo. In quanto tale, si tratta di una specie di tour de force della tradizione cinese, presentata in una forma estremamente gradevole, un prodotto di oltre due millenni di riflessioni e interpretazioni di tre dei più profondi sistemi di pensiero nella storia del genere umano". Wilson conclude dicendo che Hung era "un uomo contemplativo" che credeva che "combinando una sobria eleganza con l'ordinario, gli uomini

Uno de los análisis más exhaustivos y profundos de la obra de Joyce. Publicado primero como parte integrante de Obra abierta, en 1962, y luego, en 1982, en Italia, como obra independiente, revisada y ampliada por el propio Eco, el presente ensayo supone el punto de fusión del interés del autor por la estética medieval y por las corrientes de vanguardia que rompieron brutalmente con toda la tradición anterior. Es así que el presente ensayo aborda la estructura poética y lingüística de una de las obras más complejas e influyentes de la contemporaneidad, el Ulises de James Joyce. Las poéticas de Joyce no es solo un análisis profundo y exhaustivo de la novela, sino un estudio imprescindible de la teoría literaria de los últimos cien años.
