It was midway through the final decade of the Coldwar. The Soviets still battled the Mujahidin in
It was while buried deep in his acquisitions and slaving that Tarlach came across Marlin, one of Tenix’ diligent workers providing for his wife and two children, including youngest daughter – his namesake - Marlie. The major international technology company Tenix had been looking for proxies to enable easy and deniable sale and passage of their systems into
The two then worked as a team for several years, Tarlach and Marlin’s activities funding the education and upbringing of Marlin’s children. Tarlach took a particular interest in the intelligent and resourceful Marlie. She at first became known to him through her father’s complaints about her behaviour; and his admiration at her resourcefulness. As her father was drawn deeper into the Masquerade, and his bond to Tarlach deepened, Tarlach directed more and more of Marlie’s upbringing, subtlety influencing her experiences and individuality. Tarlach kept to the shadows for much of Marlie’s early life. Using his telepathy he would make suggestions within her young and malleable mind, the decisions and reactions still hers, but he would nudge, explain and whisper from the darkness. This opportunity to bring up potential kindred from early age was too much for Tarlach to give up. He Blood-bonded and ghouled her grandfather, so that he did not decease to quickly. Tarlach then worked the mind of the young Marlie through both male figures. Especially leveraging Marlin’s own deep-seated disappointment that Marlie was not a son. Through her grandfather and father Tarlach strengthened her individuality and capacity for solitary resourcefulness, while working on her paranoia, especially regarding threats to herself. Eventually Tarlach forced her Grandfather to move, severing the important bond she had developed and isolating her emotionally. At this time Tarlach introduced himself into the family through Marlin, and became a family friend and subtle mentor to the independently minded Marlie – to whom, through Tarlach’s telepathy, she held a recognition and trust. Eventually, after years of semi-regular interaction Tarlach offered the embrace to Marlie, and with the urging of her father she accepted. Tarlach built his childer from the ground up, at 23 he brought her into their society.

The following are several reader comments:
“This book is for anyone who plays golf, has worked as a golf caddie, or belongs to any organization with a diverse membership. The book exhibits humor with a cast of characters from a Charles Dickens novel, as well as life lessons learned by a fourteen-year old boy working his first year as a golf caddie at a private club in a small Midwestern city. While the book is set in 1965, the characters and events depicted are timeless.”
“Have read the book and thoroughly enjoyed and amazed at the research you must have done. Cleverly done. Being age appropriate, lots of thoughts and memories.”
“The parts I liked best were not on the golf course, but instead, all the Catholic school stuff, the ride to the lake, the interaction with his family were all very realistic…It made me remember how I felt at that age.
“I found the story to be an interesting journey through a summer of my youth.”
“I read your book…at times I could not stop laughing.”
“5 Stars! It’s a parody of what we were really like…”
“A lot of the content hit home with me…I was a caddie at the local country club and there was definitely a pecking order and competition for loops and some of the “Old” golfers were real characters. It brought back memories. Very creative.
“I’m not even a casual reader, but I really enjoyed it. I had trouble putting it down, particularly the last 3rd of the book. I didn’t want it to end!”
“Just like in the novel, I started caddying as a teenager in the mid-1960s, so Scott Spykstra and I have a lot in common. References to that time in America were spot on. “Looking Forward…” is a great “coming of age” story. I highly recommend this book to anyone who either is near that age (which is basically a big chunk of baby boomers) or anyone else for that matter who has a close relationship with someone who is that age…it’ll help you to understand them a little bit better!”

THE COLOURS OF DANCE by EJ Pepper
‘Rule 1: When you’re dancing, shoulders back and point your toes.
Rule 2: Keep your thumbs clear when you’re chopping vegetables.
Rule 3: Don’t go wandering through the house without permission.’
But how to make any sense of Home Rule? This is the question ten-year old Brede asks herself.
Homeless and destitute, she and her Aunt Kate are employed as the only Catholics in the household of the beautiful spendthrift Adelina Thompson and her bullying husband, Alexander. But what is it that Brede sees that forces her to flee with her aunt in terror?
Taken into the home of William Henderson, a Protestant supporter of Irish Home Rule, Brede is the mute and uncomprehending witness to the unfolding political and personal events, and to a love affair that will culminate in murder.

Numerous visitors also take pleasure in the touch as well as feeling of holding and also turning the web pages of a book.
Impact on the Environment
Taking it at stated value, you would certainly assume that eBooks win when it comes to the environment. However, examining the environmental influence of books as well as digital books is made complex. For one, it depends on the number of books you continue reading an eReader or even using an free pdf editor.
eReaders take a whole lot more carbon to generate than publications, so studies show you need to read in between twenty-two and one hundred publications on an eReader to be extra environmentally mindful than merely checking out paper copy books.

Last but not least, if a book reaches completion of its life or falls into disrepair, you can reuse guide.
In addition, lots of printing companies that create books comply with “eco-friendly” printing practices that avoid hazardous chemicals or extreme quantities of waste from entering the setting.
Commonly, eBooks are priced less than new paper books. This shows the fact that there are no printing expenses associated with developing digital books.
You do not genuinely own eBooks when you buy them. For example, if your eReader breaks or your account shuts down, you shed all guides you purchased.
Physical books can be borrowed, gifted, or offered. You can likewise obtain books conveniently from the collection.

Can You Print A Digital book?
Have you created and also self-published an e-book, and after that you realized that you want to have physical duplicates of your book? Do you want to offer copies or distribute them to pals, household, or organization partners? If so, you’re most likely asking yourself, “Can you publish an e-book?”
If you’re an e-book author who wishes to print physical copies of your eBook task, keep in mind that the process is much more challenging than just pushing the “print” button on your computer system. Digital publications commonly contain dynamic computer files which permit the reader to change print dimension, focus on pictures, leave virtual book marks, highlight flows, and otherwise communicate with their book. Data made use of to publish publications, on the other hand, are generally static data such as PDF documents produced making use of Adobe InDesign.
When taking into consideration eBook printing, consider the complying with challenges.
The digital book printing process is not as simple as saving your book as a PDF file and after that printing it, as you need to keep factors to consider such as hemorrhage in mind. Bleed, which includes a picture running off the edge of a web page, is a key element of printing products such as books.
Nevertheless of the web pages in a publication are printed, they are then reduce to a consistent dimension, and also the bleed is the extra area at the edges of the page that is removed. Including bleed in print files is vital, as it makes certain that the web pages in the printed book will certainly contain correctly-sized margins and that all pages will be the specific very same measurements.
Typesetting is likewise a serious factor to consider when attempting to publish e-book data. The code for some characters in book documents does not quickly move to fixed data kinds, typefaces could not be compatible, and also data conversions can alter how the message is prepared on the page.
As a result, you could need to spend hours or days manually typesetting the whole publication, locating customized characters, and guaranteeing that every line is precisely as you intend it. If you’ve ever before had to typeset– or re-typeset– a book, you understand that this process is a migraine!
Several eBooks are secured intellectual property. Because of this, be sure that you have the appropriate approval to publish an e-book, whether you are the author or otherwise. Many publishing houses control the copyright to their books, so call them with any kind of questions prior to publishing a digital book.
If you are self-publishing your very own book, this task might be less complicated. Before printing an eBook, talk to a legal representative who is knowledgeable about copyright law as well as electronic rights monitoring and also can aid you browse the process.

With the familiar faces of Dick and Jane, this little book is a perfectly cheeky take on manners for the modern day. It's a step-bystep guide to politeness in everyday life, including everything from table manners to tidying up after oneself. For example, the book reminds readers that your mother (who likely works fifty hours a week) is not your maid, so you should always rinse your dishes and put them away in the dishwasher. This witty little book is great for growing children or teenagers--or even adults--and will help remind us all to mind our manners.

This is a great book that I have recently read. It stars a 12-year-old boy named Moose Flanagan who lives on Alcatraz. Where is Alcatraz? Alcatraz is an island “jail”, where America’s top criminals were kept in the mid-1900s. Alcatraz is located near San Francisco, California. Among the few people on Alcatraz who were not criminals lived Moose Flanagan. Moose Flanagan lived on Alcatraz because his father worked as a jail guard. Moose’s sister, Natalie, was diagnosed with autism- an illness that affects her brain. Moose’s experiences in Alcatraz are unique… his childhood was completely different from other children at that time, and it was fun seeing what kind of sacrifices he had to make because he lived on an island full of prisoners. I recommend this book to readers 10 and older. This book is part of the Al Capone Series- there is Al Capone Does My Shirts (book #1), Al Capone Shines My Shoes (book #2), and Al Capone Does My Homework (book #3). Alcatraz is no longer an active prison but attracts many tourists. I hope that one day you will get the chance to read this fascinating book!


First wave feminists spent hundreds of years in activism, writing, protesting and working for the betterment and equality of their sex and gender. First wave feminists worked not only for suffrage, or the right to vote, but also for the right to an education, the right to work, the right to work safely, the right to the money they earned when they worked, the right to a divorce, the right to their children and the right to themselves and their own bodies.
Rights for women can be traced back to the Middle Ages in the Middle East when early reforms under Islam gave women greater rights in marriage, divorce and inheritance. Women in other cultures were not afforded such rights until centuries later. Further improvements of the status of Arab women included things such as the prohibition of female infanticide and recognizing women’s full personhood.
The things mentioned above are necessary, and were necessary, and in some case, came at the end of long efforts.
The earliest signs of feminism in the west came in the 14th century when women lead the Peasants’ Revolt against British Serfdom. Notably was Johanna Ferrour who ordered the violent beheading of Lord Chancellor and Archbishop of Canterbury Simon of Sudbury. The women who were involved in this rebellion had a stake in it, as the poll tax that was the center of the rebellion was much tougher on married women. Unlike the poll tax you may be used to hearing about in relation to voting, this poll tax was a tax to support the Hundred Year War and it tripled from a groat, which was a currency at the time, to three groats in a period of three years.
In the 14th and 15th centuries women writers began to take up their pens in defense of their sex. These writers include Simone de Beauvoir and Christine de Pizan. But what women were advocating against was a mindset, an entire system of socialization, even then, and then (as some would argue to this day), women were socialized, both in their minds and in the minds of men, that their sole role in society was reproduction.
First wave feminists had to work against this impression, and they had to work against the society that allowed an unmarried woman to be property of her father and a married woman to be property of her husband.
The 17th century saw the continuance of feminist writers, including Marie de Gournay who wrote The Equality of Men and Women. But probably the most popular 17th century writer and advocate of female education as a means to not only equality, but to a better society, was Mary Wollstonecraft with her treatise A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.
But being an educated woman was dangerous at the time, Anne Askew, a Quaker and a feminist, was burned at the stake for heresy. It is said she died ‘for her implicit or explicit challenge to the patriarchal order.’
The right not to be property, rights to their inheritance, rights to an education and to a religion that was not patriarchal are all things that in a number of centuries women were trying to fight for, and they continued to fight for more. European Feminists such as Marguerite de Navarre and Anna Maria van Schurman attacked misogyny and promoted the education of women.
Then came the Victorian age in Europe. The Victorian age brought with it this obsession with ‘manners’ and ‘etiquette’ and women were not spared as they were inundated with conduct books such as The Angel in the House by Mrs. Beeton. Feminist writers of the time, however, such as the Bronte sisters and Elizabeth Gaskell rejected this notion and published novels of their own depicting women’s misery and frustration.
In the 19th century there finally came political organization out of centuries of writing and treatise. The First Women’s Convention is held in Seneca Falls in New York in 1848. The Married Women’s Property Committee was started in 1855 by Bessie Rayner Parkes and Anna Jameson. The Society for Promoting The Employment of Women was founded by Barbara Leigh Smith in 1859. Dozens, if not hundreds of organizations of this nature were made to advocate for education, property rights, working rights, voting rights, etc.
With colleges in England opening to women in the 1840s and 1850s and with women like Elizabeth Blackwell being one of the first women in the US to graduate in medicine, rights in education were being gained.
By the 1920s women were being given not only the right to vote, but the right to run for office.
The latter part of first wave feminism included Margaret Sanger’s efforts towards family planning and abortion advocacy. As well as the effect of the two world wars on the women’s desire to work. While during the war they were allowed and expected to work to support the people on the front, they were also expected to give up their jobs and thus their economic sense of importance and independence, as soon as the men came back from war.
The first wave of feminism was the longest, and it is the most taken for granted. It is common now to speak with women who do not identify as feminists who think that feminism is a dirty word, who simultaneously pursue careers and an education, who exercise their right to vote, who own property and benefit from the fruits of their labor. Understanding the history and the efforts of feminism, understanding how much progress they made and how long it took them is important both to those who think they are not feminists, and those who identify as feminists and who live life trying to better the world by the feminist ideal.

REVIEW: Taking God At His Word, Kevin De Young
Review of Taking God At His Word DeYoung, Kevin. “Taking God at His Word” Crossway, 2014. 316 pp. The oldest argument humans struggle with is wondering if God really wants us to be happy. That struggle then leads to the question of whether God is really dependable. This is the argument and fear that took root in the Garden of Eden and has stealthily encroached our minds for centuries. We wonder, “Who are we? Why are we here? What is our origin, our purpose, our future? Where do we find satisfaction, peace, people to trust?” These epistemological and philosophical questions that relate to our existence and the very existence of God are all addressed within the text of the Bible, explains Kevin DeYoung in his latest book, Taking God At His Word. DeYoung guides the reader through the issues of sufficiency, clarity, authority, and necessity of the Bible. As these four issues break down, the character of Christ, the debates surrounding inerrancy, and the human response to, understanding of, and affection for the Scripture are all discussed. DeYoung uses clear language, customary wit, and plenty of Scripture references as he guides this conversation. The book explains that the belief is widely held, even by people who do not claim to be Christians, that Christ’s teaching were of value and contain a certain level of truth. If, however, the Bible is not completely true, then the teachings of Christ are negated. If Christ is not God and the Bible is not inerrant, then God is undependable and truth is debatable or non-existent. Beginning with an analysis of Psalm 119, the book urges the readers to begin thinking about their own feelings about and interactions with the Bible. Moving through the chapters, DeYoung discusses practical ways to demonstrate responsiveness to the Bible. He moves into deeper examples of sufficiency, discussing redemption’s complete work. He proposes that the use of extra-biblical material, such as accounts of Heaven from people who have nearly died and share accounts of their time in Heaven do nothing to enhance the already completed accounts in the Bible. He outlines the problems posed when humans want reconciliation between confusing texts. De Young states, “ We must not separate epistemology (that is, our theory of what we know and how we can know it) from the rest of theology.” (p.143). He provides a interesting discussion about how texts that seem confusing, in actuality, complement each other. DeYoung’s conversation on the finality of Scripture relates to God’s existence. If God is true, then there is finality, or authority, in His Word. While discussing the necessity of Scripture in our lives, he states, “What makes the Bible utterly unlike any other book – religious or otherwise – is the unsurpassed grace we encounter in its pages. We need Scripture because without it we cannot know the love of God.” (p. 193) These issues of inerrancy are the spokes in the larger wheel of redemption. He builds his arguments clearly into a strong conclusion, discussing II Timothy 3:16, inspiring Christians to maintain their faith in Scriptural inerrancy. “It’s not necessarily a sign of growth to move past the faith of your childhood, and not necessarily a weakness to believe the same thing throughout your whole life. What an inestimable privilege to be acquainted from childhood with the sacred writings. The ultimate reason for Timothy to stick with the Scripture goes far beyond Lois and Eunice. But at their feet is where he first learned to trust the word of God. Which is no small thing, and not to be tossed aside for anything in the world.” (pp.245-6). This statement is a foundational philosophy for people raised in the Christian tradition, holding to inerrancy, and responding to the Bible with honor and respect. On a practical level, he considers the idea that the strength found within the Bible gives grace to our lives. He elaborates that the truths of the Bible help us through hard times, inspire us to care for others, to pray, to know ways to kindly share truths. The oldest question, “does God want me to be happy?” is answered completely within the Bible, as are the wheres and whats and whys of life. But in order for these answers to make sense, we must actually read, respond to, and believe the words of the Bible. We must take God at His word, believing that redemption is complete, that truth is from God, and that He is the giver of good things. Taking God At His Word travels through the questions that often arise when considering the truth of Scripture. It is an encouraging discussion that would benefit anyone, at any level, to inspire and to remind that God is faithful, His word is true, and His goodness never ends.

REVIEW OF: “Lit!: A Christian Guide to Reading Books”
Reinke, Tony. “Lit!: A Christian Guide to Reading Books” (Crossway, 2011) $15.99
As the child reader who always had a book with her, who now loves to scribble down written words, the title Lit! and accompanying cover illustration of books placed in an eternal circle were irresistible to me. A book about the reading of books sent me diving excitedly into Tony Reinke’s Lit!
The book contains two distinct sections. The first section is philosophical, the second, practical application. Initially, Reinke discusses the plethora of reading options accessible to modern society. With innumerable options available, readers are hard pressed to make decisions about what they want to read. A reader, or a non-reader who wishes to read more is rarely faced with a shortage of titles, but rather with a lack of decision-making helps when choosing a book. Readers but have limited time and do not wish to waste time on something uninteresting, uninspiring, or unpalatable.
In his first five chapters, Reinke establishes baseline theories, worldviews, and doctrinal positions for Christian readers as he traces the theological and historical implications of the written tradition. He constructs a clear and logical breakdown of concepts such as infallible versus fallible writing, images versus print, worldview development, discernment issues, and Christian versus non-Christian authors. Active readers will find this section theologically refreshing, but inactive readers will find the section quite informative as a starting point for choosing literary selections.
Halfway through the book, Reinke breaks into sheer brilliance as he discusses imagination and how reading enhances the imaginative experience. I found his section on the imagery used in Revelation to be inspiring. The reader will find that Reinke connects the relevance between images and Christian response in a concise manner. His analogy that, “neglect of imaginative literature of Scripture… leads to some degree of spiritual atrophy,” was incredibly precise and is a concept that Christians should be carefully consider (p. 263).
The last half of the book gives very helpful and practical ideas for incorporating strong reading skills into everyday life. A helpful suggestion is to plan out genres and styles of reading material that one hopes to read. This technique allows a reader to read several books at a time, in different settings, with different attention levels, incorporating literary skills more frequently into everyday life. Reinke shares personal tips he uses regularly to avoid wasting time, to make use of down time, to avoid overusing electronic distractions, to mark notes into a book, and to integrate reading into family life with his children. He gives excellent suggestions for making reading a part of Christian communities, listing ideas for reading groups that bring people of common minds together. He suggests that pastors enhance the literacy of their congregations by acting as, “biblio-shepherds,” peppering their sermons with allusions to the best literary selections and having excellent books on hand for referencing and lending.
I admit I encountered some violated expectations with the content of the book. I was hoping for some weighty literary criticism, theory and discussion. Once I ascertained that I would not find these discussions within the book because its purpose was more practical, I was able to put my inner struggles aside and enjoy the book for its informative, Christian reference and reminders. If a reader is looking for a book on themes and literary techniques and implications to Christian artistry, he or she will be slightly disappointed. If one is a seasoned reader, this book will serve as a reminder rather than a challenge.
However, this is an excellent book to recommend to every college student in a Christian institution on the responsibility of reading well. It is a perfect book for pastors to use to refresh and remind themselves of the importance of literary discipleship. And it is an inspiring and motivating book for lay Christians who need to discipline their minds to read more frequently, more deeply, and more intentionally.
“Lit!: A Christian Guide to Reading Books'” value is especially found in its theological aptitude and clear wording. Reinke commandeers concise discussions over a variety of topics with grace, understanding, and precision. His clarity in integrating Biblical world views into reading priorities and selections is a superb gift to the Church and Christian readers of any level.

I know there are a few people here interested in C compilers for the spectrum so I thought I would ask if anyone is interested in helping test the new c library in z88dk.
The library contains about 400 functions and 25,000 lines of asm code with hardly any of it tested. There's a lot of room for errors in there and we are hoping a few casual users might be able to help discover the worst bugs.
There is very little documentation available so ideally you are already familiar with C so that you can write your own programs without documentation. This C library is aiming for a C11 subset so most things you can do in standard C you should be able to do with this library.
Here is a short zip of test programs to get an idea:
and a thread containing some information at z88dk.org:
We don't have a lot of the non-standard libraries migrated to the new c library yet. We do have sp1 (there is one simple test program in that zip above) and a 1-bit sound library among other things. We have not integrated float math yet nor have we put in a disk stack.
Thanks to anyone who can find time to try things out a little bit. I realize it's not the sexiest thing in the world to write test programs and that's why I am hoping one or two people might be snagged by a post on zx.pk.ru
To use the new clib you must get a copy of the nightly build from http://nightly.z88dk.org/ Get one built on or after December 27 to avoid a malloc bug.

Book Club Invitation
On Wednesday 21st November, the school Book Club was lucky enough to be invited along to Halifax Central Library to meet two local, inspirational children’s authors.
The first workshop was with author Mark Illis, who is famous for his young adult fiction. He has also written extensively for television – including dramas such as The Bill, Eastenders, and Emmerdale. He also wrote the award-winning screenplay for ‘Before Dawn’. His book ‘The Impossible’ won a Northern Writers Award in 2015.
Inspiring our Book Club pupils, Mark began his session by asking them to write the first line of their own autobiography. He then read the first two paragraphs of his book ‘The Impossible’. Pupils read and discussed four intriguing, well-known novel openings, and how they engaged the reader. Mark then produced a watch as a stimulus for pupils to create their own character. His workshop ended with pupils writing the first line of a story for their character, followed by an interesting question and answer session.
The second session was with children’s fiction writer Melvin Burgess. He aroused pupils’ curiosity from the beginning of the session, telling the story of the Pendle Witches in 1612 – the inspiration for his new book ‘The Lost Witch’, which is set in Hebden Bridge. Pupils enjoyed a discussion on witches and Norse mythology, followed by another interesting question and answer session.
Concluding with the opportunity to buy books and have them signed by the two authors, our pupils left Halifax Central Library inspired and ready to read more!

Best things about Go so far for me are
- Simple language structure
- Runs fast
- Easy to distribute my code (just one binary)
- Lots of good libraries available
- Incredibly small containers
The language structure is really easy to pick up - with more consistency than PHP and much less boilerplate than Java
I’ve worked mostly in PHP so I’m switching from an interpreted to a compiled language - of course occasionally I had trouble debugging because I forgot to recompile.
But mostly I was impressed with the much faster response time of web pages, and caught more bugs at compile time without leaving the IDE.
PHP and Java have both developed package managers that help with dependencies - Go has a less mature process for this but also it is less critical because libraries are only a build dependency - they are compiled into the release artefact so you don’t have any dependency management outside of compiling.
I found good existing libraries to do everything I needed.
Some (notably golang docker) didn’t adhere to semver which made tracking versions difficult see this issue for more detail https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/39056
I’m a little concerned how easy it would be to update and rebuild my code after a period of time - possibly from a different dev environment - and intent to look into this more thoroughly as I have had bad experiences in the past caused by library changes over time in other languages.
But because what I use on the server is a binary - once it’s built I don’t have to worry about libraries again.
I used https://jeremylong.github.io/DependencyCheck/ to make sure I stayed up to date and while the Golang analyzer is experimental I found it worked well (though I had to add a manual suppression for docker)
Because Go creates a single binary without depending on external libraries, and typically Go runs it’s own server instead of depending on something like Apache -you can create a container that only has that binary. It will be tiny and has a super short startup time.
This radically reduces Systems administration as there really isn’t anything else to administer, secure, or update.


Python for Data Analysis: Tips and Tricks for Effective Data Processing
In today’s data-driven world, data analysis has become a critical skill for professionals in various fields. Python is one of the most popular programming languages used for data analysis, thanks to its simplicity, flexibility, and vast array of libraries and tools specifically designed for data processing. In this blog post, we’ll explore some tips and tricks for using Python effectively for data analysis.
- Understanding Your Data: Before you can begin processing your data, you need to understand its structure and the type of analysis you want to perform. This requires familiarity with statistical concepts such as regression, correlation, and variance. Python has several libraries, such as NumPy and Pandas, that can help you perform statistical calculations and explore your data’s properties. These libraries are also useful for manipulating data, removing duplicates, filling in missing values, and dealing with outliers.
- Selecting the Right Libraries: Python has a wealth of libraries that can help with data processing and analysis. When selecting a library, it’s essential to consider the scope and functionality of the library and the specific requirements of your project. For example, Matplotlib and Seaborn are powerful data visualization libraries that can help you create charts and graphs that communicate your data effectively. Similarly, Scikit-learn is a popular library for machine learning, while TensorFlow is an open-source machine learning platform used for deep learning.
- Structuring Your Code: Well-structured code is critical for efficient data processing and analysis. A structured codebase ensures that your code is easy to read, maintain and scale, and less prone to errors. One popular Python coding standard is PEP 8, which provides guidelines for code layout, naming conventions, and commenting. Additionally, organizing your code into functions and classes can help simplify complex tasks and enable code reuse.
- Real-World Projects: To get a sense of how to apply your Python data analysis skills, it’s useful to study real-world projects. One such example is sentiment analysis, which involves analyzing customer feedback to determine the overall sentiment of the feedback. Another example is recommendation systems, which involve analyzing user behaviour and preferences to provide personalized recommendations. Studying real-world projects can help you understand the skills and techniques required for data analysis and how to apply them in practice.
In conclusion, Python is an excellent choice for data analysis and processing, thanks to its rich ecosystem of libraries, tools, and resources. By following the tips and tricks outlined above, you can develop your Python data analysis skills and apply them to real-world projects. If you’re interested in mastering Python for data analysis, consider enrolling in a Python training course like the one offered by IPSR Solutions Limited. Our Python Training Institute provides hands-on training in Python programming, data analysis, and machine learning, ensuring that you have the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in this exciting field.

Explanation of the Fluxus-notation home
Cantatorium of Saint Gall (early tenth
century; CH-SGs 359)
Fluxus (late twentieth century)
Fluxus is, along with traditional
square notation, Lagal and some other notations, an alternative musical notation
chant. In Fluxus tenth-century adiastematic neumes from Saint Gall
are placed on lines. Therefore all rhythmic (semiological), expressive and
ornamental indications from the oldest sources together with the pitches from
later times are easy accessible through one single notation.
Fluxus was first presented in: Tijdschrift voor Gregoriaans 22 (1997) 67-76.
On August 29, 2009 during the 15th meeting
of the IMS Study Group CANTUS PLANUS (Dobogókő, Hungary) a paper was
presented on the Fluxus notation.
In June 2011 at the international symposium Notarum Figura Auxerre (France) the book Scores for Tenth-Century Chant was presented, in which many chants, sometimes difficult to
find elsewhere, were issued in Fluxus
notation. This book can here be ordered.
In the book the question of the
notation is linked to a critical alternative for the principle of Dom Prosper
Guéranger (1805-1875, founder and first abbot of the monastery of Solesmes).
The principle was formulated by Guéranger in his "Institutions
Liturgiques" (1840-1851). On the base of this principle the monks of
Solesmes collected hundreds of medieval manuscripts and copied the melodies
on large "tableaux" which at last resulted in "the gregorian
phrase" of the Roman Gradual of 1908. At the congress of April 1904 in
Rome, Dom André Mocquereau (1849-1930) speaks about this principle as the fundament of the school
of Solesmes. Even today attemps at critical editions of gregorian chant are
largely based on this principle (e.g. in the Beiträge zur Gregorianik). The critical alternative to the principle of Solesmes is not based on "most" votes, but on the "best", that are primarily
the tenth-century St Gall manuscripts, and second, the early adiastematic manuscripts as a whole, and only thirdly the diastematic manuscripts
from South, Central and North Europe.
you find ten responsoria and five offertoria (with verses) in Fluxus-notation.
the overviews of notations referred to above, especially two important
scientific studies have been published (including digital editions):
Eve Helsen, The Great Responsories of
the Divine Office, Aspects of Structure and Transmission (Regensburg
Maloy, Inside the Offertory, Aspects of
Chronology and Transmission (Oxford 2010)
the editions accompanying these publications are unusable for performance.
Therefore you better consult the so-called "restitutions" from the
Crochu: Responsories at
Stingl: Offertories at

“Fat inside”, the new book by Dr. Nicola Sorrentino explaining the benefits of a balanced diet
Since 1995, Nicola Sorrentino has been focusing on nutrition and has written several books on nutrition issues and body weight. As scientific director of the Terme Sensoriali in Chianciano, Dr. Sorrentino is well aware of UPMC Institute for Health Chianciano Terme and in fact he mentions the Center in his most recent work entitled “Fat inside”, published in Italy by Mondadori. In this book Dr. Sorrentino explains the benefits of a balanced diet and how to reach a perfect physical condition and achieve a status of well-being allowing us to live a better life and preserve our health.
This book describes the various goals including treating the intestine and purifying the liver. Incidentally these are two areas for which UPMC Institute for Health Chianciano Terme offers advanced treatments aimed at identifying potential critical issues of the organism, and starting a maintenance or rehabilitation process. Diet is important as is our awareness of nutrition. However we need to take a step further towards prevention, going beyond the “aesthetic” goal and committing to learn the correct habits to preserve our health.
The first step can be undergoing a check-up that can provide us with a snapshot of our general health status. One of the services offered at UPMC Institute for Health Chianciano Terme is Opera Check-Up®, a highly innovative and personalized screening program.
Having access to clear and accurate information on our health is most important for prevention.
A first step to take care of ourselves is finding out if we are “fat inside”… and then move on in the right direction!

"How do you account for your remarkable accomplishment in life?" Queen Victoria of England asked Helen Keller.
"How do you explain the fact that even though you were both blind and deaf, you were able to accomplish so much?"
Ms. Keller's answer is a tribute to her dedicated teacher. "If it had not been for Anne Sullivan, the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown."
According to speaker Zig Ziglar, "Little Annie" Sullivan, as she was called when she was young, was no stranger to hardship. She was almost sightless herself (due to a childhood fever) and was, at one time, diagnosed as hopelessly "insane" by her by caregivers. She was locked in the basement of a mental institution outside of Boston. On occasion, Little Annie would violently attack anyone who came near. Most of the time she generally ignored everyone in her presence.
An elderly nurse believed there was hope, however, and she made it her mission to show love to the child. Every day she visited Little Annie. For the most part, the child did not acknowledge the nurse's presence, but she still continued to visit. The kindly woman left cookies for her and spoke words of love and encouragement. She believed Little Annie could recover, if only she were shown love.
Eventually, doctors noticed a change in the girl. Where they once witnessed anger and hostility, they now noted an emerging gentleness and love. They moved her upstairs where she continued to improve. Then the day finally came when this seemingly "hopeless" child was released.

Book: The Rest of Us Just Live Here
Author: Patrick Ness
Pages: 336 Pages
Source: Provided in exchange for an honest review by the lovely ladies at HCCFrenzy
Thanks to HCC Frenzy for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Sorry this took so long to get to and review!
What if you aren’t the Chosen One? The one who’s supposed to fight the zombies, or the soul-eating ghosts, or whatever the heck this new thing is, with the blue lights and the death?
What if you’re like Mikey? Who just wants to graduate and go to prom and maybe finally work up the courage to ask Henna out before someone goes and blows up the high school. Again.
Because sometimes there are problems bigger than this week’s end of the world, and sometimes you just have to find the extraordinary in your ordinary life.
Even if your best friend is worshipped by mountain lions.
Award-winning writer Patrick Ness’s bold and irreverent novel powerfully reminds us that there are many different types of remarkable.
I wouldn't call myself a huge Patrick Ness fan. To be completely honest. I found A Monster Calls, the only other Ness book I read, to be underwhelming. Now, whether that was because it was super hyped for me by close friends, or I just honestly wasn't impressed by it, we'll never know. But I was really intrigued by the concept of a book that was about all the normal kids in a world where Chosen Ones and Indie Kids, as they're referred to as, dominated the social hierarchy. It seems like our society is so infatuated with the Chosen One stories, and it's not a coincidence that this review comes right after my review of Carry On by Rainbow Rowell, another take on the Chosen One trope. These stories are prefered escapes, for myself at least, and it's with books like this that i'm reminded why.
The story follows 4 main friends, all of whom are what someone would call normal. They're messed up in their own ways, and while their to-do lists, don't involve saving the world and getting back in time for homeroom, their stories are still fascinating and interesting. Ness didn't make their stories boring, or mundane because none of our lives are mundane. While the Indie kids are trying to save the world, Ness gave just as much weight to the lives of Mikey and Jared and Henna and Mel, who are all dealing with real, tangible issues. Their stories were put in the spotlight, and I really appreciate this novel because of that. Mikey and Co. were fully formed and interesting characters that I related to in more ways than I can list, and I just loved getting to hear their story.
And Patrick Ness' writing. So, when hearing about this novel, all I heard was about how incredible the writing was, and I have to say that I wasn't blown away by it. I found nothing extraordinary about the writing. It was very... I mean, I don't want to use the word bland, but kind of? I mean, the world was vivid, and the characters were real, but beyond that? I didn't think that it was anything special. And that's all i'll say about that.
Overall, Patrick Ness' characters and great commentary on Chosen Ones make this book a wonderful read. I loved getting to see these characters in their elements, and I don't know. Maybe I'll have to give Ness another try after this.
Have you read The Rest Of Us Just Live Here? If you have, link me to your review, or let me know what you thought about it! I'm excited to hear your thoughts!
Thanks everyone, and happy reading!


The Journey of Self-Discovery
Everyone, it seems, is maddened by sexual desire, especially it appears, at least to my reading, those who wish to suppress it. Yet, as Swami Prabhupada says, to turn our material happiness into spiritual bliss we do not need to negate our material happiness, we simply change our material nature into a devotional one. This is how we reach the state of sac-cid-ananda, eternal-fully cognisant-joyful.
Pratyahara - withdrawal of the senses
The practice of Pratyahara prepares us for the ultimate steps on the yogic path. It helps us to learn to control our unruly senses that are all over the place, responding to all the suggestions the outside world is continuously giving us. It is the turning point for those truly on the spiritual path.
Tantra and the union of consciousness and energy
Tantra challenges a number of western beliefs. The scientific notion that consciousness is a product of matter. The gendered belief that the masculine is active and the feminine passive. And the dualist belief that we are separate from the divine.
Bliss and the samadhi of silence
Prf. S.K. Ramachandra Rao, in his book Tantra, Mantra, Yantra: The Tantra Psychology, offers a great overview of tantra as a cultural ideal of quiet contemplation, quite unlike what we have come to think of tantra as in the West. The samadhi of silence awaits.
