1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: The history of the Jews of Spain is a remarkable story that begins in the remote past and continues today. For more than a thousand years, Sepharad (the Hebrew word for Spain) was home to a large Jewish community noted for its richness and virtuosity. Summarily expelled in 1492 and forced into exile, their tragedy of expulsion marked the end of one critical phase of their history and the beginning of another. Indeed, in defiance of all logic and expectation, the expulsion of the Jews from Spain became an occasion for renewed creativity. Nor have five hundred years of wandering extinguished the identity of the Sephardic Jews, or diminished the proud memory of the dazzling civilization which they created on Spanish soil.This book is intended to serve as an introduction and scholarly guide to that history.; Title: The Jews of Spain: A History of the Sephardic Experience

1-hop neighbor's text information: Case-Based Learning Algorithms Abstract. Storing and using specific instances improves the performance of several supervised learning algorithms. These include algorithms that learn decision trees, classification rules, and distributed networks. However, no investigation has analyzed algorithms that use only specific instances to solve incremental learning tasks. In this paper, we describe a framework and methodology, called instance-based learning, that generates classification predictions using only specific instances. Instance-based learning algorithms do not maintain a set of abstractions derived from specific instances. This approach extends the nearest neighbor algorithm, which has large storage requirements. We describe how storage requirements can be significantly reduced with, at most, minor sacrifices in learning rate and classification accuracy. While the storage-reducing algorithm performs well on several realworld databases, its performance degrades rapidly with the level of attribute noise in training instances. Therefore, we extended it with a significance test to distinguish noisy instances. This extended algorithm's performance degrades gracefully with increasing noise levels and compares favorably with a noise-tolerant decision tree algorithm.
Target text information: Towards Lifetime Maintenance of Case Base Indexes for Continual Case Based Reasoning Abstract. One of the key areas of case based reasoning is how to main-tain the domain knowledge in the face of a changing environment. During case retrieval, a key process of CBR, feature-value pairs attached to the cases are used to rank the cases for the user. Different feature-value pairs may have different importance measures in this process, often represented by feature weights attached to the cases. How to maintain the weights so that they are up to date and current is one of the key factors deter-mining the success of CBR. Our focus in this paper is on the lifetime maintenance of the feature-weights in a case base. Our task is to de-sign a CBR maintenance system that not only learns a user's preference in the selection of cases but also tracks the user's evolving preferences in the cases. Our approach is to maintain feature weighting in a dy-namic context through an integration with a learning system inspired by a back-propagation neural network. In this paper we explain the new system architecture and reasoning algorithms, contrasting our approach with the previous ones. The effectiveness of the system is demonstrated through experiments in a real world application domain. 1

All of our work shares;the following features:; We rely a combination of simple hardware support and operating; system modifications to monitor the dynamic behavior of applications.; These monitoring mechanisms incur a small overhead at runtime, but the; information they collect can be used to identify sources of memory; system delays such as cache misses and TLB misses.; By identifying and resolving these bottlenecks, we not only pay for; the overhead of the monitoring mechanisms, but also significantly; improve overall system performance.;In our most recent project, we explored policies that monitor;application memory reference patterns in order to identify and resolve;TLB performance problems. Poor TLB performance results when the TLB;is too small to cover the current application's working set. Several;modern architectures support superpages: pages whose size is a;multiple of the system's base page size. On such systems TLB;performance can be improved by using larger pages, but at the cost of;wasted memory due to internal fragmentation.;We simulated several policies that adapt the page size dynamically to;different regions of an application's address space, constructing;superpages by copying the component pages to a contiguous region of;memory. We developed a policy that monitors TLB misses, and balances;the potential benefit of having a superpage (a reduction in future TLB;misses) against the cost of constructing the superpage (an in-memory;copy). By constructing superpages only when and where TLB miss;patterns warrant, this policy attains the TLB performance of large;pages without their internal fragmentation.;For more details on this project, see our paper; Reducing TLB and Memory Overhead Using Online Superpage Promotion; (ISCA '95, to appear).;We're looking for someone to implement these algorithms -- this would make;a good quals or masters project.;Project Description.;People;Faculty:; Brian Bershad ([email protected]); Anna Karlin ([email protected]);Current Students:; Dennis Lee ([email protected]); Wayne Ohlrich ([email protected]); Ted Romer ([email protected]); Wayne Wong ([email protected]);Papers; Reducing TLB and Memory Overhead Using Online Superpage Promotion .; Romer, Ohlrich, Karlin, and Bershad.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: The author of the well-received We Were One (2006) turns his attention to the Korean War, specifically to George Company of the First Marines. Mobilized at Camp Pendleton in the summer of 1950, the company went ashore at Inchon and battled house-to-house through Seoul. Then they sailed around to Wonsan and began the march north that led to the Chosin Reservoir campaign. An epic in spite of all the times it has been called Frozen Chosin, the effort put George Company against formidable opponents. They faced entire regiments of Chinese, abominable subarctic weather, shortages of supplies, and impossible or at least impassable terrain. Most of them were barely trained teenagers, but the training was marine training and their leaders were the formidable likes of First Sergeant Rocco Zullo, who isnt the only marine portrayed with great skill here. Altogether, place this book beside We Were One in the certainty of attracting the same audience. --Roland GreenA moving and exciting story of courage, determination and the ethos of the Marine Corps.Charleston News Alternative, 6/23/11An heroic and sometimes blood-curdling story told by the individual soldiers[ODonnell] writes like someone whos been there.New York Post, 11/7/10ODonnell gives the brave Marines of George Company long overdue recognition.Hampton Sides, author of Ghost Soldiersand Blood and ThunderPatrick ODonnell has a rare talent for isolating and burrowing into the great military stories of recent history.

Target text information: Description: Revisiting one of the most dangerous WWII missions ever, O'Donnell (We Were One) examines the planning and execution of a 1944 strike by Jewish soldiers against a top-secret target in Austria that, it was believed, could shorten the conflict. He fleshes out the tale of sacrifice, spies, courage and betrayal organized by the American Office of Strategic Services to take on Gestapo troops in a heavily fortified district, Alpine Redoubt, the site of a planned bunker where Nazi leaders would hide after the Allies arrived in Germany. Under the command of Frederick Mayera German-Jewish refugee, naturalized American citizen and Wildcat RangerOperation Greenup was a brazen military exercise behind enemy lines, using a core of Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany and locals to gather intelligence and reduce the resistance from SS soldiers. Armed with research in the National Archives, confidential documents and personal interviews, O'Donnell tells a heart-stopping tale of sabotage by men and women who placed everything on the line against a seemingly unstoppable tyranny. 8 pages of b&w photos; map.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: "Can states school their citizens for genocide? Does valuing cultural diversity, by contrast, create a lasting buffer against state-organized violence? Diana Dumitru's thesis is provocative: that the Soviet ideology of "friendship of peoples" attenuated popular antisemitism. Using the Romanian-Soviet borderland as a kind of natural experiment, Dumitru finds substantial differences between how neighboring populations in Romania and the USSR viewed their Jewish neighbors. Dumitru's work will open new debates about the power of political choice in determining the course of the Holocaust in different lands." Charles King, author of Odessa: Genius and Death in a City of Dreams"Diana Dumitriu's history shows the incredible power of the state's rhetoric and regulations to shape the attitudes and beliefs of its citizenry. This is a shocking and essential story for scholars of Central and Eastern Europe." Kate Brown, author of A Biography of No Place: From Ethnic Borderland to Soviet Heartland"'The Holocaust in Bessarabia and Transnistria is much less familiar than that in Poland and the Baltic states, while by many accounts it was just as bestial. Diana Dumitru's research explores an even less familiar reality: that Stalin's totalitarianism fostered a climate that was relatively benevolent toward the Jews by comparison with the hostility fostered by the more traditional authoritarianism of Romania. In bringing to the surface this apparent irony, she demonstrates how the Holocaust remains an inexhaustible field of study, which continues to shed a revealing and troubling light on our present." Robert D. Kaplan, author of Balkan Ghosts: A Journey through History"Diana Dumitru's important contribution to the burgeoning study of the Holocaust in the East demonstrates convincingly that Transnistrian Moldova, under Soviet rule from 1918 to 1940, witnessed far less collaboration than did Bessarabian Moldova, under Romanian rule. Her argument that Soviet internationalism explains this difference is an important challenge to both Holocaust studies and Soviet history." Terry Martin, author of Affirmative Action Empire: Nations and Nationalism in the Soviet Union, 19231939'A fascinating study of the ordinary civilians who chose to victimize Jews or to help them during the perilous times of Nazi occupation. It represents a major contribution to this understudied topic outside the realm of direct Nazi rule. The entire book would fit greatly into Holocaust studies and East European history classes, and should not be omitted from the reading list of scholars of Romanian and Ukrainian history.' tefan Cristian Ionescu, H-Nationalism'This admirable work of scholarship is notable for its substantiation of a view that in Soviet-ruled areas of Eastern Europe during the interwar period, the civilian population was less prone to antisemitism than in territories where such racist attitudes festered and were encouraged by state-sponsored policies. Based on an investigation of an impressive range of multilingual archival sources, memoir literature, and interviews with survivors and bystanders of the Holocaust, this volume provides a comparative case study of Jewish-Gentile relations in two neighboring areas - Bessarabia and Transnistria - corresponding roughly to the territories of present-day Moldova and southwest Ukraine, both of which were under Romanian rule during the period 1941-44.' Dennis Deletant, The Journal of Modern History'Brilliantly written, with a masterful use of sources and secondary literature, Diana Dumitru's book will prove mandatory reading for every scholar interested in the perpetration of the Holocaust in the East. An impressive and well-informed monograph with a sophisticated theoretical framework and a consistent and sharp argumentation, it would be useful reading for graduate and undergraduate classes in Holocaust studies and Eastern European history. It also suggests new avenues for subsequent researchers.' Ionut Biliuta, Journal of Holocaust and Genocide Studies'Brilliantly written, with a masterful use of sources and secondary literature, Diana Dumitru's book will prove mandatory reading for every scholar interested in the perpetration of the Holocaust in the East. An impressive and well-informed monograph with a sophisticated theoretical framework and a consistent and sharp argumentation, it would be useful reading for graduate and undergraduate classes in Holocaust studies and Eastern European history. It also suggests new avenues for subsequent researchers.' Ionut Biliuta, Holocaust and Genocide StudiesBased on original sources, this book explores regional variations in civilians' attitudes toward the Jewish population in Romania and the occupied Soviet Union. Gentiles' willingness to assist Jews was greater in lands that had been under Soviet administration during the inter-war period, as opposed to those under Romanian administration.; Title: The State, Antisemitism, and Collaboration in the Holocaust: The Borderlands of Romania and the Soviet Union

An invaluable work." -Leila Ahmed, Harvard Divinity School"This remarkable book draws on a broad range of primary and secondary sources to develop a new synthesis. It deepens our appreciation of Islam's internal diversity, reveals some of the different ways that Muslim identity has been improvised in inter-religious exchanges in America, and debunks stereotypes about what it means to be Muslim and American. This is a careful work of scholarship and a fascinating narrative history." -- Christopher G. White, Assistant Professor of Religion in America, Vassar College"A History of Islam in America is a major step forward in understanding the encounters and exchanges between Muslims and non-Muslims in the US. This richly documented and fascinating analysis provides a powerful challenge to stereotypes that exclude Islam from the orbit of 'the West.' -- Carl W. Ernst, William R. Kenan, Jr. Distinguished Professor of Religious Studies, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill"This book is the most comprehensive historical monograph yet written about Islam in the United States." -Edward E. Curtis, Journal of American History"...this scholarly book is a valuable and welcome contribution to the historical study of Islam in the West in general, and the United States in particular. The book's core thesis is the complexity and diversity of American Muslims' experience in the new world.The book is highly recommended,for it serves specialists and non-specialists alike." -Digest of Middle East Studies"Professor GhaneaBassiri does an excellent job, and his encyclopedic, erudite, and objective study deserves to be read widely, and its arguments deserve to be taken seriously by others in the field." -Journal of Church and State"GhaneaBassiri modestly pens not The History of Islam in America, but A History of Islam in America splendidly." -Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion"Of all the books under review, GhaneaBassiri's is the most self-conscious and rigorous in its methodology." -Middle East Journal "GhaneaBassiri provides a timely, informative, scholarly, and well-documented book that sheds new light on the history and experience of Muslims in the United States, refuting the naive notion of a clash of civilizations." -El-Sayed El-Aswad, Digest of Middle East Studies "GhaneaBassiri...addresses the production of knowledge about both Muslims and the United States that allows for...dichotomizing logic. In doing so, he disproves suppositions that Muslims' lives are intrinsically or historically distinct from "America" while demonstrating that a scholar of Islamic traditions can also be a thorough and theoretically sophisticated Americanist, and vice versa. GhaneaBassiri's extraordinary collection and redaction of materials, combined with his historiographical and methodological insights, constitute a major intervention into several oft-segregated fields." -Rosemary R. Hicks, Journal of the American Academy of Religion; Tufts University "When we come to GhaneaBassiri's volume, I believe that we have one of the best books available today describing how Muslims from the earliest days of their presence in America to the very contemporary period have both participated in and have been molded by the flow of American history." -Jane I. Smith, The Journal of ReligionKambiz GhaneaBassiri's fascinating book traces the history of Muslims in the United States and their different waves of immigration and conversion across five centuries, through colonial and antebellum America, through world wars and civil rights struggles, to the contemporary era. The book tells the often deeply moving stories of individual Muslims and their lives as immigrants and citizens within the broad context of the American religious experience, showing how that experience has been integral to the evolution of American Muslim institutions and practices. This is a unique and intelligent portrayal of a diverse religious community and its relationship with America.; Title: A History of Islam in America: From the New World to the New World Order

I found the section on the use of the Chinese repeating crossbow quite interesting.

It used a large lever to draw the string back to allow a bolt from the magazine to drop into position. A low cost weapon, it typically carried ten bolts, although some variants carried up to 15 bolts.

From the earliest colonial settlements to recent Cold War bunkers, the North American continent has been home to thousands of forts and fortress structures. Seacoast forts were the nation's primary means of strategic defense from the 1790s until World War II. Almost every seaport on both coasts had at least one fort to protect it at one time or another. Inland forts were built to defend against attacks by Native Americans, or to defend against the English, the French, or the Spanish. So many forts were built-most in the 1800s-that there are few places in the continental United States more than fifty miles from a fort location. Yet, despite their prominence and importance, there has never been-until now-a single volume devoted to American forts and homeland fortification defense. As in their previous and very successful books, experts J. E. and H. W. Kaufmann include never-before-published photographs, extraordinary drawings, cut-aways, and diagrams to illustrate Fortress America . --David KirkI found this a fascinating book---the third in a series from these authors (the others deal with German World War II fortifications, and with modern European fortifications). Each takes the same format of effectively combining text, maps, plans, drawings,and photos to provide a picture of what was built, where, by whom, and why. This particular volume has the longest historical reach, ranging from the first Spanish forts in North America right up to current efforts. Here we get a good sense of everything from dusty 19th century frontier army encampments to cement coastal fortifications of the early 20th century. The authors make clear how fortification design changed and why, as well as the relation of forts to the historical concerns of the time. In all, very useful and insightful reading whether for the arm chair or touring. There is no better overall history. --By Chris Sterling; Title: Fortress America: The Forts That Defended America, 1600 to the Present

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Whether you're a parent, a teacher, or an interested citizen, what if you could explain the Constitution and the disagreements that led to its crafting in about an hour? Round Table Companies, a publishing company, has done just that by assigning to a writer and an artist the challenge of creating a graphic adaptation to explain the writing of the United States Constitution and the effort the founding fathers exerted to ratify it. (Kate Kelly Huffington Post, February 27, 2012)A breezy take on the past, but thats the point: to produce a comic that youngsters will actually be inclined to read, and perhaps even re-read. (The A.V. Club, March 2012)I highly recommend The United States Constitution: A Round Table Comic Graphic Adaptation to anyone interested in United States history, or to teachers or families wanting to teach kids about our government in an entertaining way. I will be using it with my own kids whenever we study United States history or U.S. Government. (Jenny Williams Geek Dad, March 14, 2012)While the U.S. Constitutions primary value is as a document, it is also a historical artifact that embodies the fascinating story of its own creation. In this version, Baer and Lueth (who coauthor the online graphic novel Impure Blood) generously cover both aspects, and the core text (the first ten amendments are noted but the text is not provided) is intercut with the drama of a Constitutional Congress that actually drafted an innovative work despite personal prejudices, turf wars, the divisive slavery issue, and the searing heat of a 1780s Philadelphia summer. In a triumph of character design, Lueth has created distinct, memorable images for each of the many delegates who hacked through their Gordian knots as the summer dragged on. Hill & Wangs lengthier book of the same name includes all amendments and more background, but this volume dramatizes the compelling soap opera of egos that, against considerable odds, managed to create the imperfect yet sorely needed document that has endured for more than two centuries. VERDICT While context for some plot elements is not clear, this graphic novel dramatizes a historical precedent for group action despite disagreement that we should heed today. A free curriculum guide by Katie Monnin (Teaching Graphic Novels) is available. Recommended for tweens through adults in and out of the classroom. (Library Journal, May, 15, 2012)Round Table Comics' adaptation of the supreme law of the United States of America, created by the team at Round Table Companies, includes 100% of the original text from the Constitution as well as a narrative to communicate the concepts from one of history's most important documents. Full color illustration throughout combines an entertaining read with the factual accuracy that readers of history expect. Adapted by Nadja Baer (Delivering Happiness: A Round Table Comic, Altucher Confidential: A Round Table Comic), illustrated by Nathan Lueth (Altucher Confidential, Everything's Okay), and overseen by former documentary filmmaker David Cohen, now VP of Round Table.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Gr 6 Up-Vansant presents a military history of the battle of Gettysburg in comic-book style, beginning with Robert E. Lee's motivation for attacking Pennsylvania and concluding with Abraham Lincoln's reflections on the battle in his short memorial address. The artwork has a casual simplicity, with scratchy, brisk lines and muted tones. Almost no attempt is made to make moments melodramatic or spectacular. The severity of the depiction of bloodshed increases somewhat as the battles get more fraught, but the primary goal is not to show war as either glory or hell. Instead the focus is to give a visual impression of the physical scope of the battlefields and to put human faces to some of the division commanders. The first goal is effectively accomplished; the maps with the changing positions of the relative forces show the complexity of the ground and the increasing intensity as the battle progresses. The section about crossing an open mile to Cemetery Ridge works especially well. However, the capsule introductions to the various commanders are less elucidating. Each man is given a close-up drawing and a single biographical detail, but not usually something that would increase understanding of how he commanded. The many men who died under their commands are given even shorter shrift. The readable narrative breaks down the military actions and decisions leading up to and during the battle, but the accompanying visuals do little to either illuminate or re-create the actual experience or to humanize the participants.-Benjamin Russell, Belmont High School, NH(c) Copyright 2013.

The answer given by a prominent Southern editor when asked by The Times (London), What would New York be without slavery? Fernando Wood thought his timing was perfect. The election of an antislavery president had finally forced the South to make good on years of threats, and the exodus of 11 states from the Union had begun. Militant South Carolina was the first to secede, after a convention in Charleston five days before Christmas of 1860. Within weeks, 6 more states had broken off from the Union, and by the end of May, the Confederacy was complete. As the most profound crisis in our young nations history unrolled, Wood, the mayor of New York, Americas most powerful city, made a stunning proposal: New York City should secede from the United States, too. With our aggrieved brethren of the Slave States, we have friendly relations and a common sympathy, Wood told the New York Common Council in his State of the City message on January 7, 1861. As a free city, he said, New York would have the whole and united support of the Southern States, as well as all other States to whose interests and rights under the constitution she has always been true. Although many in the citys intelligentsia rolled their eyes, and the mayor was slammed in much of the New York press, Woods proposal made a certain kind of sense. The mayor was reacting to tensions with Albany, but there was far more behind his secession proposal, particularly if one understood that the lifeblood of New York Citys economy was cotton, the product most closely identified with the South and its defining system of labor: the slavery of millions of people of African descent. Slave-grown cotton is, in large part, the root of New Yorks wealth. Forty years before Fernando Wood suggested that New York join hands with the South and leave the Union, cotton had already become the nations number one exported product. And in the four intervening decades New York had become a commercial and financial behemoth dwarfing any other U.S. city and most others in the world. Cotton was more than just a profitable crop. It was the national currency, the product most responsible for Americas explosive growth in the decades before the Civil War. As much as it is linked to the barbaric system of slave labor that raised it, cotton created New York. By the eve of the war, hundreds of businesses in New York, and countless more throughout the North, were connected to, and dependent upon, cotton. As New York became the fulcrum of the U.S. cotton trade, merchants, shippers, auctioneers, bankers, brokers, insurers, and thousands of others were drawn to the burgeoning urban center. They packed lower Manhattan, turning it into the nations emporium, in which products from all over the world were traded. In those prewar decades, hundreds of shrewd merchants and smart businessmen made their fortunes in ventures directly or indirectly tied to cotton. The names of some of them reverberate today. Three brothers named Lehman were cotton brokers in Montgomery, Alabama, before they moved to New York and helped to establish the New York Cotton Exchange. Today, of course, Lehman Brothers is the international investment firm. Junius Morgan, father of J. Pierpont Morgan, arranged for his son to study the cotton trade in the South as the future industrialist and banker was beginning his business career. Morgan Sr., a Massachusetts native who became a major banker and cotton broker in London, understood that knowledge of the cotton trade was essential to prospering in the commercial world in the 1850s. Real estate and shipping magnate John Jacob Astorone of Americas first millionaires and namesake of the Waldorf-Astoria and whole neighborhoods in New York Citymade his fortune in furs and the China trade. But Astors ships, like those of many successful merchant-shippers, also carried tons of cotton. Cottons rich threads can even be traced to an ambitious young man who dreamed of opening a fancy goods store in New York. The young mans father, who operated a cotton mill in eastern Connecticut, gave his son the money to open his first store, on Broadway, in 1837. But more important than the $500 stake made from cotton was the young mans destination and timing: Charles L. Tiffany had begun serving a city in extraordinary, and enduring, economic ascent. As with any commodity, trading in cotton was complicated and risky. Businessmen, even savvy ones, lost fortunes, but some made their mark on the city nonetheless. As cotton was becoming a staple in the transatlantic trade, Scotsman Archibald Gracie immigrated to New York after training in Liverpool, Great Britains great cotton port. Gracie became an international shipping magnate, a merchant prince, building a summer home on the East River before losing much of his wealth. His son and grandson left the city to become cotton brokers in Mobile, Alabama, but their familys summer home, today called Gracie Mansion, is the official residence of the mayor of New York. But beyond identifying the individuals who prospered from the Souths most important product, its vital to understand the economic climatethe vast opportunities for wealth that the cotton trade created, and that linked New York City so tightly to the South. Before the Civil War, the citys fortunes, its very future, were considered by many to be inseparable from those of the cotton-producing states. Secession was not even an original thought with Wood, a tall, charming, three-term scoundrel of a mayor and multiterm congressman. For years, members of New Yorks business community had mused privately, and occasionally in the pages of journals, that the city would be better off as a free port, independent of tariff-levying politicians in Albany and Washington. As America unraveled over the issue of slavery, many Northern politicians and businessmen became frantic to reach out to their most important constituency: Southern planters. New York was not the only area in the North whose future was threatened by the growing secession crisis. In Massachusetts, birthplace of America, and the center of an increasingly troublesome movement called abolitionism, the Southern states frequent threats to secede had become an ongoing nightmare for the leaders of the powerful textile industry. By 1860, New England was home to 472 cotton mills, built on rivers and streams throughout the region. The town of Thompson, Connecticut, alone, for example, had seven mills within its nine-square-mile area. Hundreds of other textile mills were scattered in New York State, New Jersey, and elsewhere in the North. Just between 1830 and 1840, Northern mills consumed more than 100 million pounds of Southern cotton. With shipping and manufacturing included, the economy of much of New England was connected to textiles. For years, the national dispute over slavery had been growing more and more alarming to the powerful group of Massachusetts businessmen that historians refer to as the Boston Associates. When this handful of brilliant industrialists established Americas textile industry earlier in the nineteenth century, they also created Americas own industrial revolution. By the 1850s, their enormous profits had been poured into a complex network of banks, insurance companies, and railroads. But their wealth remained anchored to dozens of mammoth textile mills in Massachusetts, southern Maine, and New Hampshire. Some of these places were textile cities, reallylike Lowell and Lawrence, Massachusetts, both named for Boston Associates founders. As the nation lurched toward war and the certainty of economic disruption, these industrialists and allied politicians wanted to convince the South that at least some in the North were eager to compromise on slavery. A compromise was critical, for the good of the Union and business. On the evening of October 11, 1858, a standing-room-only audience of politicians and businessmen honored a visitor at a rally at Faneuil Hall, long the center of Bostons public life. The wealthy and powerful of New Englands preeminent city lauded the intellectual cultivation and eloquence of the senator from Mississippi, and when Jefferson Davis walked onto the stage, the Brahmins of Boston gave him a standing ovation. Other American staples, such as corn, wheat, and tobacco, have a charged or even exalted status in our nations narrative. And other resourceswhale oil, coal, and goldwere the main characters in defining chapters of American history. But cotton was king. On the cusp of the Civil War, the 10 major cotton states were producing 66 percent of the worlds cotton, and raw cotton accounted for more than half of all U.S. exports. The numbers are almost impossible to grasp: in the season that ended on August 31, 1860, the United States produced close to 5 million bales of cotton, or roughly 2.3 billion pounds. Of that amount, it exported about halfor more than 1 billion poundsto Great Britains 2,650 cotton factories. By then, the Industrial Revolution had spread throughout Europe. Although small compared with Great Britains, Frances textile industry, centered in Lille, was also fed almost entirely by U.S. cotton, 200 million pounds worth in 1858. And Southern cotton was important to textile industries in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Russia, Italy, Spain, and Belgium. But most of the worlds cotton went through Liverpool, the port nearest Manchester in Lancashire, the heart of textile manufacturing. Up until the end of the 1700s, Great Britain had imported most of its cotton from the Mediterranean, its colonies in the West Indies, and India and Brazil. But in 1794 Eli Whitney, the son of a Massachusetts farmer, patented his cotton gin (invented the previous year), and it changed the world. The problem with cotton is its seeds. Nestled deep in the fibers of every fist-sized boll of upland cottonthe predominant type grown in Americaare 30 to 40 impossibly sticky green seeds that must be removed before the white, fluffy fibers can be used. Before Whitney patented his gin, it took one person an entire day to remove the seeds from a pound of cotton. The gin both mechanized and accelerated the process. The teeth of a series of circular saws captured the seeds, allowing the fibers to be pulled away from them. The device increased the production of cleaned cotton an astonishing fiftyfold. In seeking a patent for his invention, Whitney wrote to Thomas Jefferson, then secretary of state, explaining that by using the gin, one negro [could] . . . clean fifty weight (I mean fifty pounds after it is separated from the seed), of the green seed cotton per day. Jefferson was one of the first plantation owners to order a gin. Growing cotton suddenly became hugely profitable. Farmers across the South switched over to cotton, and within only about 15 years they were supplying more than half of Great Britains demand for the product. Well before 1860, the relationship between Great Britain and the South had become ironclad. A lot of cotton required a lot of slaves. In 1850, some 2.3 million people were enslaved in the 10 cotton states; of these, nearly 2 million were involved in some aspect of cotton production. And their numbers, and importance, just kept growing. As early as 1836, the secretary of the treasury told Congress that with less than 100,000 more field hands and the conversion of just 500,000 more acres of rich Southern land, the United States could produce enough raw cotton for the entire world. By the eve of the Civil War, Great Britain was largely clothing the Western world, using Southern-grown, slave-picked cotton. In 1850, the South was home to about 75,000 cotton plantations. Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia each had over 14,500. The cotton states produced a staggering 2 million bales that year. Even people who saw the trade in action struggled to describe it. In December 1848, Solon Robinson, a farmer and writer from Connecticut who became agriculture editor for the New York Tribune, visited the nations largest cotton port. It must be seen to be believed, Robinson wrote of the acres of cotton bales standing on the docks of New Orleans. Boats are constantly arriving, so piled up with cotton, that the lower tier of bales on deck are in the water; and as the boat is approaching, it looks like a huge raft of cotton bales, with the chimneys and steam pipe of an engine sticking up out of the centre. From New Orleans and the other major cotton portsSavannah, Georgia; Charleston, South Carolina; and Mobile, Alabamamost of the cotton was shipped to Liverpool. If it did not go directly to Liverpool, it was sent to the North: to Boston for use in the domestic textile industry, or to New York City. From New York, it generally went to Liverpool, or elsewhere in Europe. But this gives only the slightest hint of the role New York City and the rest of the North played in the cotton trade, or of the lengths the New York business community was forced to go to protect its franchise. The Union Committee of Fifteen had called a meeting at the offices of Richard Lathers, a prominent cotton merchant. The organizers had planned to invite 200 people, and by written invitation only. But the group that thronged outside of Latherss offices at 33 Pine Street, a block over from Wall Street, surpassed 2,000. In fact, offices across the street had to be quickly commandeered to accommodate the crowd, and even then the merchants, bankers, and others who gathered that Saturday afternoon spilled into the street. This was hardly the first time that the worried business community had met to discuss strategies to smooth relations between North and South. But the Pine Street meeting on December 15, 1860, may have represented the group at its most panicky. South Carolinas probable secession vote was days away, and there was talk of Alabama following South Carolina. After that, who knew? The South had to be persuaded to stay in the Union until some kind of compromise in the slavery controversy could be found. The very spine of nineteenth-century money and power attended the meeting. These merchant princes included: A. T. Stewart, a cotton merchant who opened the nations first department store, called the marble palace, on Broadway. Stewart was thought to be the wealthiest man in New York. Moses Taylor, sugar importer, banker, and coal and railroad magnate, whose extensive enterprises made him, for nearly half a century, one of the most influential businessmen in New York City. Abiel Abbot Low, whose A. A. Low & Brothers was the most important firm in the new and booming China trade. William B. Astor, son of fur and real estate mogul John Jacob Astor, the nations first millionaire. Wall Street banker August Belmont, American agent for the Rothschilds of Germany, who married the daughter of Commodore Perry and whose passion for horse breeding led to the creation of the Belmont Stakes.From the Hardcover edition.; Title: Complicity: How the North Promoted, Prolonged, and Profited from Slavery
Target text information: Description: Writer Hennessey and artist McConnell undertake the imposing task of going through the entire U. S. Constitution, article by article, amendment by amendment, explaining their meaning and implicationsin comics format. Avoiding the didactic, the book succeeds in being both consistently entertaining and illuminating. The illustrations are sometimes predictable: as the text describes King George III wrestling with the rebellion, the art shows him arm wrestling a colonist. More often, in the editorial cartoon tradition, McConnell's art ranges inventively through different styles and devices, from realistic depictions of historic personages to symbolic figures (the president as a man with the White House as his head) and even talking birds and parodic superheroes. Hennessey is particularly good at exploring the historical context in which various elements of the Constitution originated, such as the excesses of European monarchies. He also chronicles the dark side of constitutional history, notably how long it allowed slavery to remain legal. While the book depicts the framers of the Constitution as practical men, readers will also be impressed by the framers' vision in devising a system that has endured for two centuries, and it's a fine introduction to U.S. legal history.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Model Checking Agent UML Protocol Diagrams Agents in multiagent systems use protocols in order to exchange messages and to coordinate together. Since agents and objects are not exactly the same, designers do not use directly communication protocols used in distributed systems but a new type called interaction protocols encompassing agent features such as richer messages and the ability to cooperate and to coordinate. Obviously, designers consider formal description techniques used for communication protocols. New graphical modeling languages based on UML appeared several years ago. Agent UML is certainly the best known. Until now, no validation is given for Agent UML. The aim of this paper is to present how to model check Agent UML protocol diagrams.
Target text information: Generating Code for Agent UML Sequence Diagrams For several years, a new category of description techniques exists: Agent UML [10] which is based on UML. Agent UML is an extension of UML to tackle dierences between agents and objects. Since this description technique is rather new, it does not supply tools or algorithms for protocol synthesis. Protocol synthesis corresponds to generate code for a formal description of a protocol. The derived program behaves like the formal description. This work presents rst elements to help designers generating code for Agent UML sequence diagrams. The protocol synthesis is applied to the example of English Auction protocol.

1-hop neighbor's text information: SPIN;[email protected]; The SPIN Operating System;SPIN is an extensible operating system kernel that;supports the dynamic adaptation of system interfaces and;implementations through direct application control, while still;maintaining system integrity and inter-application isolation.;SPIN allows applications to load code into the kernel at;runtime. Because it runs in the kernel, this extension code can access;hardware and other operating systems services with with almost no;overhead (basically a procedure call), and data can be passed by;reference, rather than copied. The SPIN kernel itself provides;a core set of interfaces and capabilities to basic resources. These;are used by collections of extensions to implement general system;services such as address spaces, IPC, threads, and networking. All;extension code (and most of the kernel) is written in the typesafe language Modula-3. The property of;typesafety prevents extensions from crashing the system by attempting;to manipulate arbitrary pieces of code or data.;SPIN runs on DEC Alpha workstations. We're using it to write;both specialized applications such as network video systems, as well;as for supporting general purpose UNIX programs.;You can connect to a machine;running SPIN with the in-kernel SPIN web server; here.; Quick Results;This structure allows programs to extend operating system services with;low overhead. For example, with SPIN running on a 133 MHz Alpha,;an application can handle and recover from a page fault in 29 microseconds.;It takes 22 microseconds to create a new thread of control, execute;it, terminate, and synchronize with its termination (fork/join). A protected;procedure call to another extension or to a kernel function takes .13;microseconds. A cross-machine RPC (application to application) over;ethernet takes under 600 microseconds; over ATM (on really old;adapters) it takes less than 450 microseconds.

Using the values of these;run-time constants, a dynamic compiler can eliminate their memory;loads, perform constant propagation and folding, remove branches they;determine, and fully unroll loops they bound. However, the performance;benefits of the more efficient, dynamically-compiled code are offset;by the run-time cost of the dynamic compile. Our approach to dynamic;compilation strives for both fast dynamic compilation and high-quality;dynamically-compiled code: the programmer annotates regions of the;programs that should be compiled dynamically; a static, optimizing;compiler automatically produces pre-optimized machine-code templates,;using a pair of dataflow analyses that identify which variables will;be constant at run-time; and a simple, dynamic compiler copies the;templates, patching in the computed values of the run-time constants,;to produce optimized, executable code. Our work targets general-;purpose, imperative programming languages, initially C. Initial;experiments applying dynamic compilation to C programs have produced;speedups ranging from 1.2 to 1.8.;We are part of the SPIN;project. Eventually, our system will be used to dynamically;compile code in the SPIN kernel, for example the SPIN;event dispatcher. However, we are also actively exploring other;possible applications of dynamic compilation, such as in;virtual-machine interpreters.;Our prototype dynamic-compilation system;is described in our PLDI paper.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: The abolitionist movement, writes Stewart in this engaging study, grew out of a number of historical conditions in early American society. Fearful of secularism and materialism, and disdainful of the luxurious life of the upper class, evangelical Christians of varying ethnicity banded together to forge a religious revival called the Great Awakening. In the South these evangelicals, especially the Quakers, confronted slave-holding Anglicans. They steadily worked to convert pro-slavery individuals, and they were often successful. By recruiting escaped slaves to speak out publicly against "the peculiar institution," the abolitionists galvanized public opinion outside the South, leading to the sectionalism that would later find its ultimate expression in the Civil War. Stewart's account of the important role that women played in the abolitionist movement is of special interest.A work of striking originality. Richard H.

Target text information: Description: Stansell largely blames the breaks in the long narrative of women's struggle for equality in America on "historical amnesia" that erased a sense that "the past was backing them up" and left each generation to forge new approaches without a record of prior feminist thought and action. Stansell's comprehensive history tracks major and minor moments that highlight promise both realized and unmet. Beginning with the release of Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Woman and concluding with the connection of modern American feminism to global human rights, Stansell constructs a sweeping narrative that puts the accomplishments of specific players, such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and the oft-overlooked Maria Stewart, into a larger historical context, and also chronicles leaders, organizations, and acts of protest that defined feminism in the 20th century. She examines the partnership between abolition and suffrage that led to respective political victories and indentifies the missteps (like an early partnership with white supremacists) that compromised progress, creating a truly balanced history for future generations. The volume's breadth means some details and individuals are lost, but in plotting the points of a long overdue narrative, Stansell fulfills her promise.

Ind. name of a tribe;a warm dry wind which blows east of the Rocky Mountains.;a warm wet southerly wind west of the Rocky Mountains.;a rare American sled dog;a hardware-software co-synthesis CAD tool;for real-time embedded systems.;Chinook is a hardware-software co-synthesis CAD;tool for embedded systems. It is designed for control dominated, reactive;systems under timing constraints. Chinook maps a behavioral description;to the user's target architecture, by filling in all the details needed;to build the complete system. This enables designers to make informed design;decisions at the high level early in the design cycle, rather than reiterate;after having worked out all the low level details. Retargetability will;not only make the designs more maintainable but also enables the designer;to take advantage of new technologies, instead of being tied down by legacy;code.;Chinook is currently under active development in a new generation. Currently;we are actively working on software architecture synthesis, interprocessor;communication synthesis, and efficient and accurate co-simulation. More;details will become available shortly.;Chinook is characterized as follows. It meets timing constraints, rather;than trying to maximize average performance or utilization. It assumes;manual partitioning, because we believe the issues are too intricate;and sometimes not even technical. We want the designers to evaluate different;architectures, rather than forcing a single fixed Processor-Bus-ASIC;architecture. We synthesize software architectures rather than rely on;off the shelf real-time kernels because they discourage retargeting.;The first version of the Chinook co-synthesis tool was operational in;November 1993. ``Version roe'' was shown;at DAC (Design Automation Conference) in San Diego in June 1994. Its main;features include automatic connection between the processor and peripheral;devices, generation of sequential code from a concurrent description, and;synthesizing device drivers. Its inputs Verilog and outputs a hardware;netlist needed to connect the hardware components together and the software;program to run on the processor. The main topics include the interfacing;problem between hardware and software components, scheduling under timing;constraints, and partitioning of functionality.;An improved version was demonstrated at the NATO summer school on HW/SW;CodeDesign, in Tremezzo, Italy June 19-30, 1995.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Stephanie Smallwood's Saltwater Slavery sets a new standard. It is at once a harrowing evocation of the Middle Passage, a brilliant account of the ways that Africans and Europeans made sense of the bloody process in which they were joined, and a subtle critique of the categories of historical inquiry. Here we see realized the enormous promise of a genuinely Atlantic approach to the history of American slavery.Walter Johnson, author of Soul by SoulW.E.B. Du Bois called the African slave trade the 'most magnificent drama in the last thousand years of human history.' Stephanie Smallwood captures this drama in imaginative and innovative ways, offering a powerful account of the maritime origins of African-America amid the profound violence of the world market.Marcus Rediker, co-author of The Many-Headed Hydra: Sailors, Slaves, Commoners and the Hidden History of the Revolutionary AtlanticNo study of the Atlantic slave trade has attempted to penetrate the darkness of those ships' holds, to explore what might have gone on in the minds of the hundreds of nameless people trapped below decksuntil now. Smallwood gets there through a tour de force of theoretical sophistication, sensitive informed imagination, and dramatic writing. Hers is the most original and provocative book on the Middle Passage in almost half a century.Joseph C. Miller, author of Way of Death: Merchant Capitalism and the Angolan Slave Trade 17301830Stephanie Smallwood's Saltwater Slavery is the new starting point for studies of the Middle Passage and required reading for students of the black Atlantic.Ira Berlin, University of Maryland, author of Many Thousands GoneSmallwood aims to move away from the numbers game that has ensnared so many other historians studying the Middle Passage. Instead of ledgers and account books, she uses letters, journals, and narratives from around the trade route to get closer to the slave experience itself. As the narrative follows the progress of the newly enslaved across the Middle Passage, Smallwood's use of quotes brings to life the everyday horror experienced by 'Saltwater Slaves,' as Africans first arriving in the Americas were described at the time.Kathryn V. Stewart, Library JournalIn this stark depiction of slaves and their 'utter alienation from the most basic norms of everyday life,' Smallwood simultaneously delivers a lucid popular history and expands scholarly understanding of slavery with a thorough, clear-eyed look at the dreaded Middle Passage and how it shaped the slave experience Smallwood is particularly adept at portraying, in detail, the unbearable conditions of the slave ships Extensive research, much of it from primary sources, forms Smallwood's basis, but she has a storyteller's knack for well-pitched anecdotes and pointed examples.Publishers WeeklyThis deeply researched, tightly focused, and skillfully evocative look at the Atlantic slave trade, 16751725, details the experience of crossing the oceanan ordeal fatal to many of the slaves who were forced to undertake it.The AtlanticStephanie E. Smallwood's excellent book Saltwater Slavery has attracted less attention than it deserves. Making careful use of the primary sources at [the National Archives at] Kew, Smallwood follows 300,000 captives taken from what is now Ghana, between 1675 and 1725, to 'widening circles of the diaspora in the Americas.' An ambitious, innovative and highly successful feature of her book is to take what is known about the beliefs of the isolated societies from which slaves were takencommunities who in some cases had never seen white people, the ocean or a shipto offer a carefully controlled imaginative reconstruction of how the embarked slaves may have conceptualized the 'saltwater' experience and attempted to reconcile what they saw with their existing world view.William St. Clair, Times Literary SupplementStephanie E.

But it goes far beyond that. Without ever significantly moving past the 1930s, Michel Gobat has provided an indictment of the early-twenty-first-century embrace of ‘American empire’ and, in a model of scholarship, provided stunning insights into the ironies—and tragedies—of the misuse of U.S. power.”—Walter LaFeber, author of America, Russia, and the Cold War, 1945–2002"Extraordinarily engaging, "Confronting the American Dream" is far and away the best work ever written on the convoluted path of elite/Conservative disenchantment with the U.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Grant's ill-starred 1864 Overland Campaign commenced at the Union winter encampment at Brandy Station, VA, and ended at the siege of the vital Rebel railroad center of Petersburg, south of Richmond. During this 100,000-man, 40-day effort (May-June), in which the Federals participated in the horrific battles of Second Wilderness, Spotsylvania Court House, and Cold Harbor, the Army of the Potomac suffered in excess of a two-to-one casualty margin over the Confederates. Focusing almost entirely on the units from Vermont, Coffin (Nine Months to Gettysburg) weaves together stories of the participating military units, outlines the overall campaign, and gives voice to several hundred personalities on the battlefield and back home, primarily through diaries and letters. The family correspondence gives a glimpse into small-town Vermont life as well as life at the front. The book's best chapter deals with Vermont's substantial wartime losses. Though the tone can be hagiographic, the research is credible, the inclusion of contemporary travelog segments relative to the Overland Campaign imaginative, and the selected illustrations blend effectively with the story. Recommended for New England collections, major Civil War holdings, and large libraries.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: The book provides readers with a very satisfying blow-by-blow account of the final stages of the Gettysburg Campaign For the Gettysburg literature, publisher Savas Beatie has for some time now performed excellent double duty in improving upon aging standard works and providing fresh perspectives on understudied or underappreciated aspects of the campaign. Meade and Lee After Gettysburg is an excellent example of the latter. In it, the true meaning of the events of the last half of July 1863 in northern Virginia are explored in detail for the first time and their importance (potential or otherwise) convincingly presented. The volume is highly recommended, and certainly whets one's appetite for the final two books in the trilogy. (Civil War Books and Authors)"What we know about the operations of Robert E. Lees and George Gordon Meades armies from the time they recrossed the Potomac River after Gettysburg to when they came to rest in and around Orange and Culpeper Counties in Virginia is negligible. Jeffrey Hunt has stepped in to masterfully fill that yawning gap. In his carefully researched and beautifully written Meade and Lee After Gettysburg, Huntfor the first timeoffers a remarkable glimpse, incorporating incredible detail, of the two weeks of maneuver and combat through places like Shepherdstown, Loudoun Valley, Wapping Heights, Culpeper, and many other sites. I absolutely love it and heartily recommend it. " (Kent Masterson Brown, author of Retreat From Gettysburg: Lee, Logistics, and the Pennsylvania Campaign)"The period between Gettysburg and the Wilderness Campaign in May 1864 is one of the least explored aspects of the Civil War. Jeffrey Hunts impressive new study fills this gap in the literature, demonstrating why Union forces failed to follow through on their success at Gettysburg and highlighting the remarkable resiliency of Lees Confederate army. Even veteran readers will find much fresh material in this narrative." (Gary W. Gallagher, award-winning author and Nau Professor of History, University of Virginia)"Meade and Lee After Gettysburg is a blast of fresh air for Civil War students. Hunt demonstrates conclusively that the Gettysburg Campaign did not end with Lees crossing of the Potomac on July 14, but on August 1 along the Rappahannock line deep in Virginia. This interpretation is original and thoroughly convincing." (Bryce A. Suderow, co-author (with Edwin C. Bearss) of The Petersburg Campaign (2 vols.))"Jeffrey Hunts Meade and Lee After Gettysburg is the first detailed modern tactical treatment of the two weeks after the official end of the Gettysburg Campaign, and focuses particularly on the cavalry battle at Harpers Ferry on July 15 and the fighting at Manassas Gap on July 23-24. This book, the first of three on the fall 1863 campaigns between Lee and Meade, sets the stage for the harder campaigning that fall and is essential to understanding those campaigns. For students interested in what happened after the armies crossed the Potomac River, this is a must-read." (Eric J. Wittenberg, award-winning co-author of One Continuous Fight: The Retreat from Gettysburg and the Pursuit of Lees Army of Northern Virginia, July 4-14, 1863)"Finally, someone has addressed the gap in the scholarship between July 14 and August 1, 1863! Hunt describes in detail the opportunities for engagement that Lees retreat into the Shenandoah Valley presented Meades army, and how some of the risk averse Union generals failed to engage the Rebels until it was too late. It is all reminiscent of what had taken place at Williamsport just a few days earlier, and was destined to repeat itself in the coming months." (Thomas J. Ryan, award-winning author of Spies, Scouts, and Secrets in the Gettysburg Campaign)A vitally important contribution to both community and academic library American Civil War history collections and supplemental studies reading lists, "Meade and Lee After Gettysburg: The Forgotten Final Stage of the Gettysburg Campaign, from Falling Waters to Culpeper Court House, July 14-31, 1863" is an extraordinary and impressive work of seminal scholarship. (Midwest Book Review)This book fills a useful nichethe author writes well, and there are adequate maps and photos to enable wargame refights. (Miniature Wargames)I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the American Civil War. It breaks new ground, covers in detail a dozen skirmishes that might have been dismissed in a couple of sentences in more general histories and does lay out clearly the problems faced by both generals and the courses of action they chose. 4 stars.

Target text information: Description: Coffin (Full Duty: Vermonters in the Civil War, CountryMan, 1994) has written a stirring account of the Vermont 2nd Brigade and its important role at the battle of Gettysburg. Through an exciting narrative of short chapters, the reader experiences a you-are-there sensation as the author offers letters and diaries of the participants. Coffin, a former reporter and board member of the Association for the Preservation of Civil War Sites, reveals the full range of military life, from the monotony of camp to the overwhelming sensation of battle. He may slightly exaggerate the brigade's accomplishments, but clearly its actions were significant. Though dozens of books of this genre have been published in recent years, the public's appetite seems insatiable. As such, this lavishly illustrated volume is a well-recommended addition to the group.?Stephen G.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: "Headrick destroys the simplistic notion that technological advances alone can explain the historic limits of Western global hegemony." (Choice)"For professional historians--and especially for those dealing with the events of the early modern and modern world and with the progress of technical advances most of the latest book by Daniel R. Headrick might seem like a comforting walk through a very familiar landscape. The road's main twists come as no surprise, but it is good to see them yet again, surveyed with a macroscopic perspective that captures all important features and, here and there, highlights interesting details."---Vaclav Smil, American Historical Review"Daniel R. Headrick is right to think that insufficient attention has been paid to how technological change and environment shape imperialism, and his work is an excellent attempt to remedy that deficiency."---Peter Cain, The Historian"This is an interesting, clearly-written, and well-researched book. In an era of academic specialization, it is also attractive for its willingness to tackle one of the largest and oldest questions of world history. While technology is the theme, the author carefully frames and qualifies his argument so as to avoid the pitfalls of reductionism. While this book should find a place in courses on economic history, the history of technology, and the economics of imperialism, its accessibility should also make it attractive to the reading public."---Robert E. Prasch, Journal of Economic Issues"Headrick provides a magisterial and highly readable survey. . . . The work is perhaps most eye-opening in describing conflict in regions often left out of more sweeping accounts--colonial expansion in sub-Saharan west Africa or Algeria, or conflict in southern Latin America. . . . [T]his book will enable [historians] to understand the place of technology in broader narratives of change all the more effectively."---Paul Warde, Cultural and Social History"[T]his is a major contribution from an important academic built on decades of experience. I am a better scholar for having read it, and chances are that you will be too."---James Daschuk, Environmental History Journal"This is a major contribution to historical studies, as well as the study of technological change and economic history. Headrick asks a set of questions that are infrequently discussed, and analyzes them in an interesting way. This will be an important and widely cited book."Stanley L. Engerman, University of Rochester"This is a major contribution to historical studies, as well as the study of technological change and economic history.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Engaging and lively . . . A valuable addition to our understanding of the events that took place almost 70 years ago, and an inspirational story of devotion to duty and country. ProceedingsThis story of the brave and resourceful officers and crew of the gallant Samuel B. Roberts is one that should be read by every American. A thrilling story of self-sacrifice, of David versus many Goliaths, of a little war vessel with a paper-thin hull saluting, stepping up, and making a charge to death and glory. After I finished reading, I wanted to stand up and cheer. I still do. Homer Hickam, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Torpedo Junction, Rocket Boys/October Sky, and The Keeper's SonIn this richly detailed book, John Wukovits provides unusual insight into the crew, the teamthe familyof the USS Samuel B. Roberts. The human detail is drawn from wartime letters, secondary sources, and survivor interviews, resulting in a rare combination of research, exposition, and insight. From the tentative process of shaking down to deployment to the Pacific, to the soaring, searing reality of combat at Leyte Gulf, readers will come to know many of the 'Sammy B's' crew, celebrate their survival, and mourn their loss. Barrett Tillman, author of Enterprise: America's Fightingest Ship and the Men Who Helped Win World War IIJohn Wukovits writes with verve and command in this rousing tale of an epic battle. You'll marvel at the bravery of the men on a very small ship up against the main battle fleet of the Japanese Imperial Navy. Evan Thomas, New York Times bestselling author of Sea of Thunder and Ike's BluffIn this gripping page-turner, Wukovits chronicles one of the greatest stories in naval history, when tiny, outnumbered, outgunned destroyers and destroyer escorts went 'toe-to-toe' with Japanese battleships and cruisers, exhibiting courage that has rarely been equaled and never surpassed. One of those ships paid the ultimate price, but played a key role in turning the tide in this seemingly one-sided engagement. This is that ship's incredible story. Thomas J. Cutler, author of The Battle of Leyte GulfDespite the U.S. Navy's huge contribution to allied victory in World War II, stories of individual ships and their crews have formed an oddly small niche in the American literature on the struggle. But if the niche is small, its quality glimmers with the works of authors like Edward Stafford and James Hornfischer. Now John Wukovits' narrative of the Samuel B. Roberts joins this illustrious company. From the building yard to the agonies of survivors pitted against an unforgiving sea, this outstanding account is a loving tribute to an immortal vessel and her heroic crew. Richard B. Frank, author of Guadalcanal: The Definitive Account of the Landmark Battle and Downfall: The End of the Imperial Japanese EmpireJOHN K. WUKOVITS is a military expert specializing in the Pacific Theater of World War II. He is the author of many books, including Eisenhower: A Biography; One Square Mile of Hell: The Battle for Tarawa; and American Commando: Evans Carlson, His WWII Marine Raiders, and America's First Special Forces Mission.

The Army (represented by MacArthur) wants to liberate the Philippines; the Navy (Nimitz and King) proposes bypassing the islands and invading Formosa. Finally, MacArthur persuades Roosevelt to back his plan. Popular historian Breuer has the knack of making complex situations intelligible. His account of the liberation of the American prisoners at Los Banos, Cabantuan, and Santo Thomas prisons and his chapters on the retaking of Corregidor are masterful.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Murdock's scholarship is relentless!My name is Ken Feder. I am an archaeologist, and I play one on TV, as a talking head in various documentaries on the National Geographic Channel, the Discovery Channel, the History Channel, ScFi, BBC Horizon, and, as it turns out, even the Weather Channel. Having conducted research and written extensively over the course of the last thirty years, I think I have developed a good eye for recognizing valuable research that is worthy of serious consideration when I see it. And the research conducted by D.M. Murdock concerning the myth of Jesus Christ is certainly both valuable and worthy of consideration.Everyone who reads Murdock's Christ in Egypt should understand that the sources she cites are anything but marginal or questionable. In fact, her sources are, at least as far as I can tell, entirely within the Egyptology mainstream and many are, in fact, revered, and deservedly so, within the community of Egyptologists. The fact that these sources are mainstream, highly respected, or even seminal does not, of course, make them right about the origins of the Christ story. However, it does make them, and Murdock's thesis in which she incorporates their work, impossible to dismiss out of hand.Read her book. Criticize it if you believe it deserves criticism. But to dismiss it or get apoplectic about her thesis simply because it shocks you is plainly foolish. --Kenneth L. Feder, PhD, Frauds, Myths and MysteriesI find myself in full agreement with Acharya S/D.M. Murdock.We are in agreement on the thoroughly syncretic character of primitive Christianity, evolving from earlier mythemes and rituals, especially those of Egypt. It is almost as important in Christ in Egypt to argue for an astro-religious origin for the mythemes, and there, too, I agree with the learned author.I find it undeniable that...many, many of the epic heroes and ancient patriarchs and matriarchs of the Old Testament were personified stars, planets, and constellations....for Egyptian influence to have become integral to Israelite religion even from pre-biblical times is only natural given the fact that from 3000 BCE Egypt ruled Canaan. We are not talking about some far-fetched borrowing from an alien cultural sphere.Murdock ventures that "the creators of the Christ myth did not simply take an already formed story, scratch out the name Osiris or Horus, and replace it with Jesus" (p. 25). But I am pretty much ready to go the whole way and suggest that Jesus is simply Osiris going under a new name, Jesus, "Savior," hitherto an epithet, but made into a name on Jewish soil.I find myself in full agreement with Acharya S/D.M. Murdock: "we assert that Christianity constitutes Gnosticism historicized and Judaized, likewise representing a synthesis of Egyptian, Jewish and Greek religion and mythology, among others [including Buddhism, via King Asoka's missionaries] from around the 'known world'" (p. 278). "Christianity is largely the product of Egyptian religion being Judaized and historicized" (p. 482). --Robert M. Price, PhD, The Pre-Nicene New TestamentD.M. Murdock, also known as "Acharya S," is an independent scholar of comparative religion and mythology, specializing in the ancient astrotheological origins of popular religious systems and beliefs. Her work can be found on her websites TruthBeKnown.com, StellarHousePublishing.com and FreethoughtNation.com. Acharya's books include The Christ Conspiracy: The Greatest Story Ever Sold; Suns of God: Krishna, Buddha and Christ Unveiled; Who Was Jesus? Fingerprints of The Christ; Christ in Egypt: The Horus-Jesus Connection, The Gospel According to Acharya S, The 2010 Astrotheology Calendar and The 2011 Astrotheology Calendar. Murdock is also the CEO and president of Stellar House Publishing, which also publishes extraordinary works such as Man Made God by mythology scholar and secular writer Barbara G. Walker. Murdock received her education in Classics, Greek Civilization, at Franklin & Marshall College, and is an alumna of the American School of Classical Studies, Athens.; Title: Christ in Egypt: The Horus-Jesus Connection

Blehm reminds us of the perils, the triumphs and the sacrifices made in the name of freedom.” (Bob Woodruff, ABC News correspondent)“Through careful reporting and crisp narrative pacing, Eric Blehm has given us a thrilling, forgotten drama from the opening chapter of the war in Afghanistan. The Only Thing Worth Dying For will become an enduring classic of this extraordinary theater, where so much hangs in the balance.” (Hampton Sides, bestselling author of Ghost Soldiers and Blood and Thunder)“Blehm provides powerful and unflinching insight into a real-life mission that ended in tragedy but left an indelible mark on history. From the comic moments to the bleakest hour, it’s a testament to how a small team of well-trained men can shape a nation’s destiny.” (Stephen Grey, award-winning author of Ghost Plane: The True Story of the CIA's Torture Program and Operation Snakebite: The Story of an Afghan Desert Siege)“Eric Blehm has written a literary masterpiece about modern war. The whole witches’ brew is here: valor, honor, heroism, cowardice, incompetence, stupidity, triumph, blood, death and despair. That America has soldiers like these should fill every American heart with pride. Read this book!” (Stephen Coonts, bestselling author of Flight of the Intruder and The Disciple)“No other book has gone to such depths in research, nor been so descriptive in recounting this critical mission during the earliest days after 9/11 when the US Army Special Forces successfully waged unconventional warfare in Afghanistan.” (Sergeant Major Billy Waugh, author of Hunting The Jackal and Isaac Camacho, An American Hero)“The greatest story of a small unit’s battle through an untamed land since Lawrence of Arabia.” (Adam Makos, editor of Valor Magazine)“A captivating account of our heroic warriors-a remarkable U.S. Army Special Forces unit’s hard-fought success against incredible odds. It reads with the thrill of fiction-but this is the damned deadly real deal.” (W.E.B. Griffin & William E. Butterworth IV, best-selling authors of The Traffickers and The Honor of Spies)On a moonless night just weeks after September 11, 2001, a U.S. Special Forces team of Green Berets known as ODA 574 infiltrated the mountains of southern Afghanistan with a seemingly impossible mission: to foment a tribal revolt and force the Taliban to surrender. Armed solely with the equipment they could carry on their backs, shockingly scant intelligence, and their mastery of guerrilla warfare, Captain Jason Amerine and his ten men had no choice but to trust their only ally, a little-known Pashtun statesman named Hamid Karzai. Having returned from exile, Karzai—on the run from the Taliban—was traveling the countryside to raise a militia.The Only Thing Worth Dying For chronicles the most important mission in the early days of the Global War on Terror, when the men on the ground knew little about the enemy—and their commanders in Washington knew even less. With unprecedented access to surviving members of ODA 574, key war planners, and Karzai himself, award-winning author Eric Blehm cuts through the noise of politicians and high-level military officials to narrate for the first time a story of uncommon bravery and terrible sacrifice, intimately exposing the realities of unconventional warfare and nation-building in Afghanistan that continue to shape the region today.; Title: The Only Thing Worth Dying For: How Eleven Green Berets Fought for a New Afghanistan (P.S.)

With a fundamental, broad-based foundation of resources, it incorporates the best contributions of the great minds and great trainers in this field. A must for the beginner, the master, or (perhaps most of all) the trainer.Lt. Col. David Grossman, Lt. Col., U.S. Army (ret.), author of the Pulitzer Prize-nominated On Killing and On Combat, and President of the Warrior Science GroupGreat book! The Modern Day Gunslinger should be read by everyone who owns or is considering owning a firearm. Don Mann calls upon his vast experience as a shooter to cover all aspects of shooting but most importantly the mental aspects. He correctly stresses that anyone can shoot at a paper target but not everyone is prepared to shoot at another person in self-defense. This is the best and most concise compendium on weapons defensive tactics Ive seen!Robert Gormly, Commanding Officer (Ret.), SEAL Team TWO and SEAL Team SIXThe Modern Day Gunslinger incorporates real-world survival principles and todays high-speed competition shooting techniquesI highly recommend it to everyone, from novice to seasoned pro. Even if you dont own a firearm, the personal awareness section justifies its purchase.Brian Enos, NRA Bianchi Cup and Sportsmans Team Challenge National Champion, Steel Masters Champion, and author of Practical ShootingBeyond FundamentalsIve been both a student and an instructor of firearms safety, marksmanship, and tactics for almost 40 years. During all those years, all those venues, and all the courses attended and conducted, Ive never encountered anything that comes as close to saying it all as The Modern Day Gunslinger does. I know there will be instructors and students who will be reading MGD for decades to come. This book will save lives.Dick Conger, Senior Special Agent (Ret.), U.S. Customs Service, and USG Senior Weapons and Tactics InstructorThis is the most all-encompassing book on shooting I have ever seen. The complete breakdown of every aspect of combat shooting is meticulously discussed, giving the shooter the concrete fundamentals necessary for fully-developed gunslinger skills. Many how-to manuals try to walk a fine line between covering every detail without boring the reader and trying to hit only the high points to keep the information flowing. Dons writing style has changed the rules altogether. Not only is there a fantastic level of detail, but the facts are presented in a crystal clear fashion, illuminating the fine points in a dynamic approach that allows the reader to enjoy the process and not be intimidated by dry prose. I recommend this book for everybody, whether you are a local shooting champion or a novice who has never held a gun before. If you are even thinking about improving your tactical shooting ability, put all the other books back on the shelf: You have found everything you need in The Modern Day Gunslinger.Jimmy B., Senior Firearms and Tactics Instructor, USGA comprehensive, defensive tactical training guide has been long overdue. Don Mann has filled that gap. The Modern Day Gunslinger is an all-inclusive manual that addresses safety, equipment, tactics, and best practices for all shooters. Don and I served together at two different SEAL Commands. I owned an indoor shooting range in Tucson, Arizona, for 10 years and only wish that Don had published this manual then. As an NRA instructor and Arizona Concealed Carry Weapons instructor, I can state emphatically that this manual would have been the only reference my instructors and I would have needed. It would have been mandatory reading for all students.Dan T. Coulter, Commander Navy SEAL Team (Ret.)As an FBI agent, I have instructed government agents in small arms and tactics from all over the world. The Modern Day Gunslinger is an invaluable resource to the FBI and other U.S. government agencies. I have taught firearms, hostage rescue, tactics, and street survival to every level of law enforcement and this book is the only manual that covers every detail of todays gun-fighting issues.Roger D. Browning, Special Agent (Ret.), Federal Bureau of Investigation and USG Senior Weapons and Tactics InstructorDon Mann is an outstanding example of the military men this nation produces, and a top-notch tactical operator and instructor. The Modern Day Gunslinger is designed for the novice and expert alike, whose needs range from home defense to government and military missions. It is a very interesting read, chock full of information that may save your life or the life of another. It will have a special place in my library.Edward J. Pollard, Assistant Director (Ret.), Protective Operations, United States Secret ServiceDuring my 25-year career I worked and trained throughout the world as a government weapons and tactics instructor with the CIA, and as an undercover law enforcement officer. Until now, there has not been a single comprehensive training manual that references all the defensive training and shooting procedures currently taught to the worlds most elite military and law enforcement units. The Modern Day Gunslinger unlocks the fundamental training secrets in a clear and concise manner, and illuminates a tangible approach to the world of defensive and tactical shooting.Jon F., Senior Tactics and Weapons Instructor, USGDon Mann has produced a true quality, top-notch product with his book The Modern Day Gunslinger. Don lays it out in laymans terms and covers the whole gambit of shooting skills that build and develop sound shooting techniques from novice to top-notch shooters. Utilizing Dons guidance and skills related in this book, shooters will be able to achieve that higher ability of shooting perfection that will allow them to save lives and be able to return to their loved ones. This is, without a doubt, the most comprehensive, easy-to-read, and understandable instructional shooting book I have ever seen. This is the type of book that will be the milestone on which books on shooting, shooting skills, marksmanship, defensive use of weapons, practical combat applications of weapons, and mind-set will be measured in the future.Jim G. Master, Sergeant (Ret.), Special Forces/Ranger/LEOFinally, a one-stop source for weapons tactics, techniques, and procedures. Ive spent a career in Special Operations, conducting overt, covert, and clandestine operations, learning this all the hard way. Now someone has finally made it simple. Don Mann is a true Quiet Professional. Thanks to him you can simply learn from the best, skip the trial and error, and start concentrating on putting rounds on target.Major Luther Papenfus, Major, U.S. Army Special Forces (Ret.)A wide-ranging, detailed compendium of the art and philosophy of shooting, written by an experienced SEAL and student of both. This is a must read for anyone wishing to understand or master that art.Danl Steward, Commanding Officer (Ret.), SEAL Team OneAs chief of law enforcement and firearms instructor, witnessing Don Mann Speak and instruct is an extremely motivating experience. His professional, calm, and confident demeanor is a quality that sets Don apart from other weapons and tactics instructors. Students listen and learnknowing every word spoken is from years of real-world operational experience. I know of no other person who has mastered his craft more expertly, and I know of no better defensive training manual than The Modern Day Gunslinger.Jan Wright, Chief of Police, Hamburg, New Jersey, Police Department Rc5I trained and deployed overseas with Don Mann and have known him well for over 25 years. Don is a world-class weapons and tactics instructor and The Modern Day Gunslinger is a testament to Dons knowledge as weapons instructor. The Modern Day Gunslinger is an excellent resource for everyone that has an interest in weapons trainingfrom the military or law enforcement weapons instructor to the novice interested in home defense.Randy Goodman, U.S. Navy (SEAL) Captain (Ret.) and Naval Special Warfare Group CommanderDon Mann is a true warrior. He speaks from a place of knowledge and experience, and has truly been there, done that. By writing The Modern Day Gunslinger, he has done an incredible service to the law enforcement, military, and private security communities, not to mention the everyday warriors who understand todays reality: that each one of us is responsible for our own survival.Niki Anderson, Counterintelligence Advisor, Centre for Counterintelligence and Security StudiesDuring the last 45 years, I have carried a variety of weapons as a combat Marine, a Secret Service Law enforcement Officer, and a USG security contractor. There can be grave legal consequences for anyone improperly carrying or discharging a firearm. My recommendation would be that no one pick up a firearm until they read what Don Mann has written. The Modern Day Gunslinger will assist all levels of shooters by presenting clear-cut information covering every aspect of firearm safety and training.Bill Wamsley, Deputy Chief (Ret.), U.S. Secret ServiceI personally learned so much from The Modern Day Gunslinger, which I consider to be a complete instructional manual for defensive shooting. More importantly, it clearly addresses the responsibility and accountability issues for using a weapon in self-defense. Don Mann addresses the mental aspects that are fundamentally most important in the use of a handgun for self-defense. This book is a terrific tool for beginners and veteran handgun owners who may someday be called to act with a handgun to preserve life, as well as take it. Quite frankly, I found it difficult to put it down.Dr. Raymond Fritz, Navy SEAL CommanderThe USMC taught me how to use firearms effectively in combat situations. The Modern Day Gunslinger builds in depth on this knowledge and experience by clearly discussing safe and effective use of weapons and tactics in civil society, home and personal protection, as well as unusual circumstances. Don Manns devotion to practicing and teaching these techniques makes this outstanding book a classic in the field. Not only a must read, but an essential study for any shooter.William Davis, PhD, USMCThe Modern Day Gunslinger is a versatile and effective compilation of range safety practices, marksmanship techniques, and combat tactics that will benefit both novice and advanced shooters in many arenas.Paul F.

It is an essential read for anyone from the gun owner interested in home protection to the seasoned military or law enforcement professional.

This book is highly recommended to anyone interested in seriously improving their shooting skills!Norm Creel, Command Master Chief, SEAL Team EightI believe The Modern Day Gunslinger to be an ideal handbook for all shooters. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced shooting professional, there are many lessons and references from which we can all gain.

I recommend that you not only read this book, but get out and practice what it says.David Nash, founder of the Shepherd School[There is] a lot to cover in a 420 page manual, but Mann does it in a concise, organized, and well presented way.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Anthropologists don't often write books that wrap around their own lives, yet the newest book by Seattle Pacific University professor Adeney stops short of memoir and opts instead for a visceral call to Christians worldwide to engage in something bigger than their own culture and church. Adeney's travel and teaching have taken her to many countries, and she weaves stories from African countries, China and primarily Hindu and Muslim countries with piercing insights into the heart of global cultures. Her work can be read by adherents of any religion as a primer to a new view of world Christianity. She acknowledges that Jesus' teaching and discipleship can grow within Hindu, Muslim and Buddhist cultures without missionary methods that bring cultural baggage that can detract from the gospel. She instances a Korean missionary group in Afghanistan that practiced methods of evangelism known to provoke angry responses; they were taken hostage. Best practices for particular cultures can prevent such disasters. Not primarily a book about American Christians and what they should do, this is a humble and complex anthem to the diverse kingdom of Christ found in worldwide cultures. (Dec.) Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved."Kingdom Without Borders invites us into a magnificent tapestry of the glory of God alive in the peoples and nations of our world. Miriam Adeney weaves the dominant designs of God's global mission with and through countless stories of people and friends. We meet sisters and brothers in Christ in contexts of joy and profound sadness; in China, Latin America, the Islamic and the Buddhist worlds; in the arts and persecution, in the Word and the Spirit. I cannot recommend any book higher than Kingdom Without Borders as the introduction to worshiping the God on mission."--William D. Taylor, Global Ambassador, World Evangelical Alliance, and coauthor of Global Mission Handbook"Miriam Adeney has once again written a powerful and accessible book on a topic of profound importance. Readers will be humbled and inspired by what they find in these pages--testimonies that show how the gospel is changing lives all over the world."--Dana L. Robert, Truman Collins Professor of World Christianity and History of Mission, Boston University School of Theology"A delightful and accessible introduction to global missions--God's foreign policy among the nations. A masterful storyteller, Miriam introduces us to her multicultural family, from Cesar in the Philippines to Ruth in Rwanda, in this flyover perspective on the move of the Spirit through the peoples of our world. Bible teaching, economic theory, comparative religions or insights on intercultural communication provide lively connecting tissue you will not find in dry missions texts. It is a bold call to serve vulnerably, sharing in suffering until Christ's resurrection power is released among all peoples!"--Steve Hoke, vice president of people development, Church Resource Ministries"Miriam Adeney takes us on a richly illustrated journey in order to teach us how to (re)think globally while loving and acting locally. Moving with creative ease between narrative and dialogue, she tells fascinating stories with a sensitive crosscultural touch, crossing all given and imposed borders and barriers with passion that inspires."--Dr. Peter Kuzmic, Eva B. and Paul E. Toms Distinguished Professor of World Missions and European Studies, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary"The fact of the vibrancy and growth of the church around the world is one many of us have come to learn in the past few decades. Like no other account I've read, Miriam Adeney compellingly weaves individual stories from every nook and cranny of the globe into a tapestry that reflects God's burden and passion for every person and community. She takes what others report as data and brings it to us through the lives of the people who have been transformed by encountering the living Christ, and ultimately paints a masterpiece of God at work across our planet. Reading the journeys of brokenness, trauma, pain, hope, sacrifice, joy and redemption will change your perspective on how God is at work--and just maybe your life."--Scott Moreau, professor of intercultural studies, Wheaton College, and editor of Evangelical Missions Quarterly"Kingdom Without Borders is a fresh look at the question, What is God doing in the world? In this book, Miriam Adeney again combines the work of a scholar with the skill of a writer. She draws us into the story of the global Christian family, while introducing us to the trends and theological conversations so vital to our understanding. Between Adeney's mastery of storytelling and the profound insights she reports, the reader gains a greater appreciation for God's greatness. This creative combination of voices from many sources is an important contribution to the growing conversation surrounding globalization."--Doug McConnell, dean, School of Intercultural Studies, Fuller Theological Seminary"Adeney's stories should open the eyes of many Western Christians. Though stories of Western missionaries are interspersed throughout, the book remains a tribute to indigenous Christian movements. Each story that Adeney relays reveals a God who is not representative of borders. Perhaps it's the stories told by Adeney that will help North Americans see more clearly how the old story of the gospel plays out in new contexts."--Soong Chan Rah, author of The Next Evangelicalism, Christianity Today, April 2010"This is not a statistically heavy book, nor a dry country-by-country ledger of church growth accounting. Rather, Adeney introduces the reader to the simple yet powerful faith stories of representative Christians in Thailand, Afghanistan, Rwanda, Bangladesh, Columbia, and many more nations. This is a deeply personal book: a testimony to the faithfulness of God in the lives of his people around the globe."--Murray Decker, EMQ, April 2010"[Adeney's] stories of global Christian witness renew believers' faith and trust in God and reinforce that God's Kingdom truly is without borders."--Christian News Northwest, June 2010"A humble and complex anthem to the diverse kingdom of Christ found in worldwide cultures."--Publishers Weekly, October 12, 2009; Title: Kingdom Without Borders: The Untold Story of Global Christianity

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: “The Only Thing Worth Dying For is not only brilliant, it’s the one book you must read if you have any hope of understanding what our fine American soldiers are up against in Afghanistan.” (Former Congressman Charlie Wilson)“A skillfully reported and masterfully written account of one of the most crucial moments of the War Against Terror. Blehm reminds us of the perils, the triumphs and the sacrifices made in the name of freedom.” (Bob Woodruff, ABC News correspondent)“Through careful reporting and crisp narrative pacing, Eric Blehm has given us a thrilling, forgotten drama from the opening chapter of the war in Afghanistan. The Only Thing Worth Dying For will become an enduring classic of this extraordinary theater, where so much hangs in the balance.” (Hampton Sides, bestselling author of Ghost Soldiers and Blood and Thunder)“Blehm provides powerful and unflinching insight into a real-life mission that ended in tragedy but left an indelible mark on history. From the comic moments to the bleakest hour, it’s a testament to how a small team of well-trained men can shape a nation’s destiny.” (Stephen Grey, award-winning author of Ghost Plane: The True Story of the CIA's Torture Program and Operation Snakebite: The Story of an Afghan Desert Siege)“Eric Blehm has written a literary masterpiece about modern war. The whole witches’ brew is here: valor, honor, heroism, cowardice, incompetence, stupidity, triumph, blood, death and despair. That America has soldiers like these should fill every American heart with pride. Read this book!” (Stephen Coonts, bestselling author of Flight of the Intruder and The Disciple)“No other book has gone to such depths in research, nor been so descriptive in recounting this critical mission during the earliest days after 9/11 when the US Army Special Forces successfully waged unconventional warfare in Afghanistan.” (Sergeant Major Billy Waugh, author of Hunting The Jackal and Isaac Camacho, An American Hero)“The greatest story of a small unit’s battle through an untamed land since Lawrence of Arabia.” (Adam Makos, editor of Valor Magazine)“A captivating account of our heroic warriors-a remarkable U.S. Army Special Forces unit’s hard-fought success against incredible odds. It reads with the thrill of fiction-but this is the damned deadly real deal.” (W.E.B. Griffin & William E. Butterworth IV, best-selling authors of The Traffickers and The Honor of Spies)On a moonless night just weeks after September 11, 2001, a U.S. Special Forces team of Green Berets known as ODA 574 infiltrated the mountains of southern Afghanistan with a seemingly impossible mission: to foment a tribal revolt and force the Taliban to surrender. Armed solely with the equipment they could carry on their backs, shockingly scant intelligence, and their mastery of guerrilla warfare, Captain Jason Amerine and his ten men had no choice but to trust their only ally, a little-known Pashtun statesman named Hamid Karzai. Having returned from exile, Karzai—on the run from the Taliban—was traveling the countryside to raise a militia.The Only Thing Worth Dying For chronicles the most important mission in the early days of the Global War on Terror, when the men on the ground knew little about the enemy—and their commanders in Washington knew even less. With unprecedented access to surviving members of ODA 574, key war planners, and Karzai himself, award-winning author Eric Blehm cuts through the noise of politicians and high-level military officials to narrate for the first time a story of uncommon bravery and terrible sacrifice, intimately exposing the realities of unconventional warfare and nation-building in Afghanistan that continue to shape the region today.; Title: The Only Thing Worth Dying For: How Eleven Green Berets Fought for a New Afghanistan (P.S.)

It delivers a straightforward approach to what we all know, or knew, or should know, setting it straight as it should be and serving as a daily reminder of the natural bad habits we all have. It deserves to be on the bedside nightstand to peruse regularly especially if you dont get to shoot often enough.Dick Marcinko, a.k.a. Rogue Warrior, Commanding Officer SEAL Team SIX and Red Cell (Ret.) and author of the New York Times bestseller Rogue WarriorThe Modern Day Gunslinger is pure dynamitea gunfighters bible. With a fundamental, broad-based foundation of resources, it incorporates the best contributions of the great minds and great trainers in this field. A must for the beginner, the master, or (perhaps most of all) the trainer.Lt. Col. David Grossman, Lt. Col., U.S. Army (ret.), author of the Pulitzer Prize-nominated On Killing and On Combat, and President of the Warrior Science GroupGreat book! The Modern Day Gunslinger should be read by everyone who owns or is considering owning a firearm. Don Mann calls upon his vast experience as a shooter to cover all aspects of shooting but most importantly the mental aspects. He correctly stresses that anyone can shoot at a paper target but not everyone is prepared to shoot at another person in self-defense. This is the best and most concise compendium on weapons defensive tactics Ive seen!Robert Gormly, Commanding Officer (Ret.), SEAL Team TWO and SEAL Team SIXThe Modern Day Gunslinger incorporates real-world survival principles and todays high-speed competition shooting techniquesI highly recommend it to everyone, from novice to seasoned pro. Even if you dont own a firearm, the personal awareness section justifies its purchase.Brian Enos, NRA Bianchi Cup and Sportsmans Team Challenge National Champion, Steel Masters Champion, and author of Practical ShootingBeyond FundamentalsIve been both a student and an instructor of firearms safety, marksmanship, and tactics for almost 40 years. During all those years, all those venues, and all the courses attended and conducted, Ive never encountered anything that comes as close to saying it all as The Modern Day Gunslinger does. I know there will be instructors and students who will be reading MGD for decades to come. This book will save lives.Dick Conger, Senior Special Agent (Ret.), U.S. Customs Service, and USG Senior Weapons and Tactics InstructorThis is the most all-encompassing book on shooting I have ever seen. The complete breakdown of every aspect of combat shooting is meticulously discussed, giving the shooter the concrete fundamentals necessary for fully-developed gunslinger skills. Many how-to manuals try to walk a fine line between covering every detail without boring the reader and trying to hit only the high points to keep the information flowing. Dons writing style has changed the rules altogether. Not only is there a fantastic level of detail, but the facts are presented in a crystal clear fashion, illuminating the fine points in a dynamic approach that allows the reader to enjoy the process and not be intimidated by dry prose. I recommend this book for everybody, whether you are a local shooting champion or a novice who has never held a gun before. If you are even thinking about improving your tactical shooting ability, put all the other books back on the shelf: You have found everything you need in The Modern Day Gunslinger.Jimmy B., Senior Firearms and Tactics Instructor, USGA comprehensive, defensive tactical training guide has been long overdue. Don Mann has filled that gap. The Modern Day Gunslinger is an all-inclusive manual that addresses safety, equipment, tactics, and best practices for all shooters. Don and I served together at two different SEAL Commands. I owned an indoor shooting range in Tucson, Arizona, for 10 years and only wish that Don had published this manual then. As an NRA instructor and Arizona Concealed Carry Weapons instructor, I can state emphatically that this manual would have been the only reference my instructors and I would have needed. It would have been mandatory reading for all students.Dan T. Coulter, Commander Navy SEAL Team (Ret.)As an FBI agent, I have instructed government agents in small arms and tactics from all over the world. The Modern Day Gunslinger is an invaluable resource to the FBI and other U.S. government agencies. I have taught firearms, hostage rescue, tactics, and street survival to every level of law enforcement and this book is the only manual that covers every detail of todays gun-fighting issues.Roger D. Browning, Special Agent (Ret.), Federal Bureau of Investigation and USG Senior Weapons and Tactics InstructorDon Mann is an outstanding example of the military men this nation produces, and a top-notch tactical operator and instructor. The Modern Day Gunslinger is designed for the novice and expert alike, whose needs range from home defense to government and military missions. It is a very interesting read, chock full of information that may save your life or the life of another. It will have a special place in my library.Edward J. Pollard, Assistant Director (Ret.), Protective Operations, United States Secret ServiceDuring my 25-year career I worked and trained throughout the world as a government weapons and tactics instructor with the CIA, and as an undercover law enforcement officer. Until now, there has not been a single comprehensive training manual that references all the defensive training and shooting procedures currently taught to the worlds most elite military and law enforcement units. The Modern Day Gunslinger unlocks the fundamental training secrets in a clear and concise manner, and illuminates a tangible approach to the world of defensive and tactical shooting.Jon F., Senior Tactics and Weapons Instructor, USGDon Mann has produced a true quality, top-notch product with his book The Modern Day Gunslinger. Don lays it out in laymans terms and covers the whole gambit of shooting skills that build and develop sound shooting techniques from novice to top-notch shooters. Utilizing Dons guidance and skills related in this book, shooters will be able to achieve that higher ability of shooting perfection that will allow them to save lives and be able to return to their loved ones. This is, without a doubt, the most comprehensive, easy-to-read, and understandable instructional shooting book I have ever seen. This is the type of book that will be the milestone on which books on shooting, shooting skills, marksmanship, defensive use of weapons, practical combat applications of weapons, and mind-set will be measured in the future.Jim G. Master, Sergeant (Ret.), Special Forces/Ranger/LEOFinally, a one-stop source for weapons tactics, techniques, and procedures. Ive spent a career in Special Operations, conducting overt, covert, and clandestine operations, learning this all the hard way. Now someone has finally made it simple. Don Mann is a true Quiet Professional. Thanks to him you can simply learn from the best, skip the trial and error, and start concentrating on putting rounds on target.Major Luther Papenfus, Major, U.S. Army Special Forces (Ret.)A wide-ranging, detailed compendium of the art and philosophy of shooting, written by an experienced SEAL and student of both. This is a must read for anyone wishing to understand or master that art.Danl Steward, Commanding Officer (Ret.), SEAL Team OneAs chief of law enforcement and firearms instructor, witnessing Don Mann Speak and instruct is an extremely motivating experience. His professional, calm, and confident demeanor is a quality that sets Don apart from other weapons and tactics instructors. Students listen and learnknowing every word spoken is from years of real-world operational experience. I know of no other person who has mastered his craft more expertly, and I know of no better defensive training manual than The Modern Day Gunslinger.Jan Wright, Chief of Police, Hamburg, New Jersey, Police Department Rc5I trained and deployed overseas with Don Mann and have known him well for over 25 years. Don is a world-class weapons and tactics instructor and The Modern Day Gunslinger is a testament to Dons knowledge as weapons instructor. The Modern Day Gunslinger is an excellent resource for everyone that has an interest in weapons trainingfrom the military or law enforcement weapons instructor to the novice interested in home defense.Randy Goodman, U.S. Navy (SEAL) Captain (Ret.) and Naval Special Warfare Group CommanderDon Mann is a true warrior. He speaks from a place of knowledge and experience, and has truly been there, done that. By writing The Modern Day Gunslinger, he has done an incredible service to the law enforcement, military, and private security communities, not to mention the everyday warriors who understand todays reality: that each one of us is responsible for our own survival.Niki Anderson, Counterintelligence Advisor, Centre for Counterintelligence and Security StudiesDuring the last 45 years, I have carried a variety of weapons as a combat Marine, a Secret Service Law enforcement Officer, and a USG security contractor. There can be grave legal consequences for anyone improperly carrying or discharging a firearm. My recommendation would be that no one pick up a firearm until they read what Don Mann has written. The Modern Day Gunslinger will assist all levels of shooters by presenting clear-cut information covering every aspect of firearm safety and training.Bill Wamsley, Deputy Chief (Ret.), U.S. Secret ServiceI personally learned so much from The Modern Day Gunslinger, which I consider to be a complete instructional manual for defensive shooting. More importantly, it clearly addresses the responsibility and accountability issues for using a weapon in self-defense. Don Mann addresses the mental aspects that are fundamentally most important in the use of a handgun for self-defense. This book is a terrific tool for beginners and veteran handgun owners who may someday be called to act with a handgun to preserve life, as well as take it. Quite frankly, I found it difficult to put it down.Dr. Raymond Fritz, Navy SEAL CommanderThe USMC taught me how to use firearms effectively in combat situations. The Modern Day Gunslinger builds in depth on this knowledge and experience by clearly discussing safe and effective use of weapons and tactics in civil society, home and personal protection, as well as unusual circumstances. Don Manns devotion to practicing and teaching these techniques makes this outstanding book a classic in the field. Not only a must read, but an essential study for any shooter.William Davis, PhD, USMCThe Modern Day Gunslinger is a versatile and effective compilation of range safety practices, marksmanship techniques, and combat tactics that will benefit both novice and advanced shooters in many arenas.Paul F. Kelly, Firearms Instructor, Special Agent (Ret.), U.S. Secret ServiceThe Modern Day Gunslinger is a realistic, practical, easy-to-comprehend manual of the small arms tactics, techniques, and procedures used successfully by our professional and military gunfighters. I recommend this book as an essential reference to anyone committed to perfecting their firearms handling skills.John Stann, Captain, USMCDon Manns The Modern Day Gunslinger is a concise, practical book on defensive tactical shooting. It is an essential read for anyone from the gun owner interested in home protection to the seasoned military or law enforcement professional. The techniques presented from mind-set and survivors awareness to marksmanship and then on to tactics is, without a doubt, the clearest presentation of defensive shooting I have ever read. This book is highly recommended to anyone interested in seriously improving their shooting skills!Norm Creel, Command Master Chief, SEAL Team EightI believe The Modern Day Gunslinger to be an ideal handbook for all shooters. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced shooting professional, there are many lessons and references from which we can all gain. I strongly recommend you pick up a copy of The Modern Day Gunslinger for your library; its well worth it. I give The MDG my strongest endorsement.Steven W. Bailey, Master Chief, Navy SEAL, USG Weapons and Tactics Program Manager[The Modern Day Gunslinger] delivered Filled with training drills, techniques, and explanations. It is copiously illustrated with photographs, and is a very valuable addition to a training library The Modern Day Gunslinger is the ultimate handgun training manual, and I am glad it is in my library I use it quite often in my own personal training, and I whole-heartedly endorse it for your training. Because it can make a difference if you actually follow the guidelines in the book, you should own it. I recommend that you not only read this book, but get out and practice what it says.David Nash, founder of the Shepherd School[There is] a lot to cover in a 420 page manual, but Mann does it in a concise, organized, and well presented way. Each chapter breaks down further, into several sub-sections, further organizing an already excellent collection of techniques, tips, and drills. The photography provides us a clear explanation of the technique or movement in question [The Modern Day Gunslinger] would be an excellent purchase or gift for shooters of any level.Gra Chia, Practical Shooting Tips .comThe Modern Day Gunslinger: The Ultimate Handgun Training Manual is by far one of the most detailed compendiums on pistolcraft I have read in a long time. The book covers a lot of information not covered in most pistol books; topics range from the mental aspects to the hardware, as well as the dynamics and mechanics of gunfighting and advanced marksmanship I highly recommend this book to military and law enforcement personal as well as the concerned and armed citizen.Troy A. Letteiri, founder and Senior Training Director for the internationally recognized Special Operations Tactical Tracking Institute (SOTTI) and author of Scout-Tracker: Operational and Training Notes of a Special Forces Combat TrackerA practical book for experienced and beginner shooters. As a BSIS firearms permit instructor in Chino Hills, CA, I was looking for a good read to remind me of the fundamentals of shooting Mann did an excellent job reminding us of the techniques used by the pros such as Jeff Copper I liked how he used photos to complement each of his discussions Worth every dime.Shaun Sundahl, Chino Hills Private Investigator*****Praise for Skyhorse PublishingIt has been a pleasure watching Skyhorse Publishing develop into one of the largest and fastest-growing independent publishers over the last decade.

1-hop neighbor's text information: The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine In this paper, we present Google, a prototype of a large-scale search engine which makes heavy use of the structure present in hypertext. Google is designed to crawl and index the Web efficiently and produce much more satisfying search results than existing systems. The prototype with a full text and hyperlink database of at least 24 million pages is available at http://google.stanford.edu/ To engineer a search engine is a challenging task. Search engines index tens to hundreds of millions of web pages involving a comparable number of distinct terms. They answer tens of millions of queries every day. Despite the importance of large-scale search engines on the web, very little academic research has been done on them. Furthermore, due to rapid advance in technology and web proliferation, creating a web search engine today is very different from three years ago. This paper provides an in-depth description of our large-scale web search engine -- the first such detailed public description we know of to date. Apart from the problems of scaling traditional search techniques to data of this magnitude, there are new technical challenges involved with using the additional information present in hypertext to produce better search results. This paper addresses this question of how to build a practical large-scale system which can exploit the additional information present in hypertext. Also we look at the problem of how to effectively deal with uncontrolled hypertext collections where anyone can publish anything they want.
1-hop neighbor's text information: Invariant Fourier-Wavelet Descriptor For Pattern Recognition We present a novel set of descriptors for recognizing complex patterns such as roadsigns, keys, aircrafts, characters, etc. Given a pattern, we first transform it to polar coordinate (r; `) using the centre of mass of the pattern as origin. We then apply the Fourier transform along the axis of polar angle ` and the wavelet transform along the axis of radius r. The features thus obtained are invariant to translation, rotation, and scaling. As an example, we apply the method to a database of 85 printed Chinese characters. The result shows that the Fourier-Wavelet descriptor is an efficient representation which can provide for reliable recognition.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Choosing Good Distance Metrics and Local Planners for Probabilistic Roadmap Methods This paper presents a comparative evaluation of different distance metrics and local planners within the context of probabilistic roadmap methods for motion planning. Both C-space and Workspace distance metrics and local planners are considered. The study concentrates on cluttered three-dimensional Workspaces typical, e.g., of mechanical designs. Our results include recommendations for selecting appropriate combinations of distance metrics and local planners for use in motion planning methods, particularly probabilistic roadmap methods. Our study of distance metrics showed that the importance of the translational distance increased relative to the rotational distance as the environment become more crowded. We find that each local planner makes some connections than none of the others do — indicating that better connected roadmaps will be constructed using multiple local planners. We propose a new local planning method we call rotate-at-s that outperforms the common straight-line in C-space method in crowded environments.
Target text information: Probabilistic Roadmap Methods are Embarrassingly Parallel In this paper we report on our experience parallelizing probabilistic roadmap motion planning methods (prms). We show that significant, scalable speedups can be obtained with relatively little effort on the part of the developer. Our experience is not limited to prms, however. In particular, we outline general techniques for parallelizing types of computations commonly performed in motion planning algorithms, and identify potential difficulties that might be faced in other efforts to parallelize sequential motion planning methods. 1 Introduction Automatic motion planning has application in many areas such as robotics, virtual reality systems, and computer-aided design. Although many different motion planning methods have been proposed, most are not used in practice since they are computationally infeasible except for some restricted cases, e.g., when the robot has very few degrees of freedom (dof) [12, 16]. Indeed, there is strong evidence that any complete planner (one that is guaran...

Sherman, his men, and Confederate soldiers. . . . Frank achieves her goal of demonstrating that we cannot understand Sherman's March, or the Civil War more generally, without gender.''--Civil War History''Powerfully written and cogently argued, The Civilian War is an easy read and was clearly a labor of love for its author. Frank uses primarily sources written at the time and relies heavily on such gems as the journal of North Carolinian Catherine Edmondston. . . . By asking historians to focus less on the quantity of destruction and more on the specific cultural effects of Union invasion, this work pushes the dialogue forward in new and interesting ways.''--North Carolina Historical Review''Lisa Frank is one of the history profession's rising stars on the role of women in the Civil War. . . . Frank has provided a thought-provoking book using the lens of gender to examine the impact of Sherman s marches on Southern society.''--Civil War News''The strength of Frank's work really emerges as she demonstrates the gendered and class-based approach Sherman took as his troops made their way through the area and interacted with the local women. . . . In developing The Civilian War, Frank painstakingly examined hundreds of sources for her argument and carefully crafts the parameters of her study. . . . Lisa Tendrich Frank's The Civilian War adds a needed perspective to the fields of gender studies and military history.

Target text information: Description: Grade 9 UpThese volumes begin with 14 essays ("Abolitionism and Northern Reformers," "Female Spies") that offer broad overviews of the subject; many of them often repeat basic facts. The more than 300 entries that follow present detailed information on well-known and not-so-well-known women (combatants and others), military events, education, courtship and marriage, urban and rural lifestyles, and the practice of keeping diaries and journals. Each signed entry is cross-referenced and has further-reading suggestions. The 24 primary sources include book excerpts (such as from Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin), newspaper articles, diary excerpts, and military orders (for example, for the evacuation of Atlanta in 1864). The core component of each essay and entry is an explanation of how women experienced or reacted to the war, which varied depending upon race, economic status, location, or politics, and how, by war's end and the years following, they were afforded new opportunities in the American democracy. The vast offerings from women's journals and other writings, which make the work relevant for literature as well as history students, are an outstanding feature. Readers will be entranced by the vivid descriptions offered by women from all walks of life. Average-quality black-and-white photographs and illustrations are scattered throughout. A chronology integrates women's topics with traditionally discussed Civil War events, and there is an extensive bibliography. A first purchase.Patricia Ann Owens, Wabash Valley College, Mt. Carmel, IL Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.The role women played in the Civil War is receiving more serious consideration, as demonstrated by this encyclopedia. Following a chronology from January 1831 to September 1894 are 14 Contextual Essays, beginning with Abolitionists and Northern Reformers and ending with Wartime Literature. Some 300 AZ entries in alphabetical order make up the bulk of the encyclopedia. The second volume concludes with more than 20 primary sources, including excerpts from Uncle Toms Cabin (1852) and The Life of Clara Barton (1915); a newspaper report of the 1863 bread riots in Richmond, Virginia; and Hannah Austins recollections of being a slave. A 28-page bibliography precedes the index. The entries vary in length from several paragraphs to several pages. Many of the articles, especially the biographical ones, have black-and-white illustrations or photographs accompanying them. For biographies, the key dates, place of birth, main life events, and historical significance are included. Mostarticles conclude with see also references to other articles as well as references and further readings. The entries coverbattles, such as Antietam and Gettysburg; people, such as Clara Barton,Mary Todd Lincoln, and Sojourner Truth; events, such as the evacuation of Atlanta; andtopics, such as loyalty oaths. A similar work, Women during the Civil War: An Encyclopedia (Routledge, 2003), covers much of the same ground. The differences are size (the older work has 128 entries) and the inclusion of more social history in the newerwork. Theextras, such as the Contextual Essays andthe primary sources, also add value. Thisinformativeencyclopedia will be usefulfor bothresearch and browsing. Recommended for academiclibraries, especially those specializing in womens studies and Civil War history, and for larger public libraries. --Abbie Landry; Title: Women in the American Civil War [2 volumes]

ConradPublisher: The Daily News OnlineDate: 6/25/2011Niagara Falls resident Rose Ann Hirsch has always enjoyed amusement parks. She recently published her third book about local parks.Hirsch will be available at 1 p.m. today at Present Tense, 101 Washington St., Batavia, to sign her book, Western New York Amusement Parks, which is part of Arcadia Publishings Images of America series.The book focuses on the history of about 20 amusement parks that operated during the last 100 years, including Darien Lake Theme Park. Along with more than 200 historical images, Hirsch includes chronological information on the growth or decline of each park. Some of the pictures depict Darien Lake before it became the sprawling thrill center of recent decades.I really enjoyed revisiting my memories of going to these parks with my family, Hirsch said. Only four of the parks featured in the book are still open.Crystal Beach Amusement Park is Hirschs all-time favorite amusement park, she said. Her family visited the park at least once a summer during her youth.It had dark rides and roller coasters, Hirsch said. Everything a thrill-seeker could want was at Crystal Beach.Hirsch also has fond memories of Christmas Park in Albion. That park helped her to love and appreciate the Christmas holiday, she said.As a child, the Sky Fighter was Hirschs favorite kiddie ride. It can still be found at Carousel Water and Fun Park in Beach Lake, Pa. As soon as she rode the Silver Comet at Fantasy Island, that ride took over as her favorite, she said.Hirsch took about a year to research and write Western New York Amusement Parks.Finding some of the old photographs was the trickiest part of the research, she said.They were obtained through Hirschs own post card collection, at the Buffalo State College Archives and from other amusement park fans on Facebook.She also wrote books for Arcadia on Kiddie Parks of the Adirondacks and Crystal Beach.As a western New Yorker, Rose Ann Hirsch grew up visiting several of the areas parks and spent 31 summers riding the Comet at Crystal Beach.

The fundamental difference is that these services construct lists either manually or through a combination of human and automated effort, while ARC operates fully automatically. We describe the evaluation of ARC, Yahoo!, and Infoseek resource lists by a panel of human users. This evaluation suggests that the resources found by ARC frequently fare almost as well as, and sometimes better than, lists of resources that are manually compiled or classified into a topic. We also provide examples of ARC resource lists for the reader to examine.

We use the connectivity-based metric PageRank to measure the quality of a page. We show that traversing the web graph in breadth-first search order is a good crawling strategy, as it tends to discover high-quality pages early on in the crawl.

Target text information: Exploration versus Exploitation in Topic Driven Crawlers Topic driven crawlers are increasingly seen as a way to address the scalability limitations of universal search engines, by distributing the crawling process across users, queries, or even client computers. The context available to a topic driven crawler allows for informed decisions about how to prioritize the links to be explored, given time and bandwidth constraints. We have developed a framework and a number of methods to evaluate the performance of topic driven crawler algorithms in a fair way, under limited memory resources. Quality metrics are derived from lexical features, link analysis, and a hybrid combination of the two. In this paper we focus on the issue of how greedy a crawler should be. Given noisy quality estimates of links in a frontier, we investigate what is an appropriate balance between a crawler's need to exploit this information to focus on the most promising links, and the need to explore links that appear suboptimal but might lead to more relevant pages. We show that exploration is essential to locate the most relevant pages under a number of quality measures, in spite of a penalty in the early stage of the crawl.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: The history of the Jews of Spain is a remarkable story that begins in the remote past and continues today. For more than a thousand years, Sepharad (the Hebrew word for Spain) was home to a large Jewish community noted for its richness and virtuosity. Summarily expelled in 1492 and forced into exile, their tragedy of expulsion marked the end of one critical phase of their history and the beginning of another. Indeed, in defiance of all logic and expectation, the expulsion of the Jews from Spain became an occasion for renewed creativity. Nor have five hundred years of wandering extinguished the identity of the Sephardic Jews, or diminished the proud memory of the dazzling civilization which they created on Spanish soil.This book is intended to serve as an introduction and scholarly guide to that history.; Title: The Jews of Spain: A History of the Sephardic Experience

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Edward Dolnick's Down the Great Unknown depicts the "last epic journey on American soil," John Wesley Powell's exploration of the Grand Canyon and the fulminating, carnivorous Colorado River. The book, a model of precision, clarity, and serene passion, outshines, arguably, its bestselling brother-volume, Stephen Ambrose's Undaunted Courage.On May 24, 1869, Powell, an ambitious, autocratic, one-armed Civil War veteran and amateur scientist, and a casually recruited crew of nine--without a lick of white water experience--embarked from an obscure railroad stop in the Wyoming Territory to travel through a region "scarcely better known than Atlantis." Ninety-nine days, 1,000 miles and nearly 500 rapids later, six of the men came ashore in Arizona--the first humans to run the waters of the Grand Canyon. Dolnick tells this story of courage, naivet, hardship, and petty squabbling simply and authoritatively using entries from the men's journals, deft overviews (we always know where we are), and short science, history, and psychology lessons, as well as the prodigious knowledge of present-day river runners and his own first-hand observations. His prose carries the day: Powell looks like a "stick of beef jerky adorned with whiskers," the boats are "walnut shells," which in rapids are little better than "ladybugs caught in a hose's blast" or "drunks trying to negotiate a revolving door," while the river is a "taunting bully," a "colossal mugger," a "sumo wrestler smothering a kitten," and a notable rock formation looks like what might happen if "Edward Gorey had designed the Bat Cave."Down the Great Unknown brushes against perfection. This is history written as it should be--and too rarely is: enthusiastic, rigorous, painterly, gloriously free of both pedantry and hyperbole. --H. O'Billovitchowell led his band of stalwart trappers and ex-soldiers down the Green River in Wyoming Territory, heading for the last bit of terra incognita in the U.S.: the Colorado River and the Grand Canyon. The expedition had plenty of supplies, but the wrong type of boats for shooting rapids. Moreover, their inexperience with rapids cost them one of the boats and many provisions. There was little game to supplement their rapidly dwindling food supply. And being the first to chart the river, they didn't know what lay beyond each twist. These handicaps, along with deadly river rocks, soaring canyon walls and one-armed Powell's impressive feat of scaling them to measure their height, make for a remarkable journey. Unfortunately, Dolnick does the story a disservice in overwriting the expedition's slower moments. He frequently overexplains, and he never meets a simile he doesn't like. Every description, no matter how effective, is carried too far, suggesting Dolnick doesn't trust his story or his readers: "rapids... do not murmur. They rumble. They roar. They crash. The sound evokes a thunderstorm just overhead, a jet skimming the ground, a runaway train.... The message is worse than the sound itself the roar of a rapid is a proclamation of danger as clear as a giant's bellowed curse in a fairy tale." After passages like that, readers may want to jump ship, or like Powell's band, they can struggle through and emerge battered but illuminated. Photos and illus.

He got started writing guidebooks on that trip in 1979 by sending suggestions to the author of Moon Handbooks South Pacific while island-hopping there. That led to paid assignments with the publisher to update parts of the Indonesia handbook for five cents a word. When Weir returned to Arizona after four and a half years of travel, he started thinking of places about which to write a guidebook. Realizing that the best place lay under his feet, he wrote Moon Handbooks Arizona. Utah beckoned next, and Weir completed Moon Handbooks Utah a couple of years later. His bicycle, Bessie, collected dust for a while, but they returned to Asia in 1995 to finish the round-the-world ride via the Middle East and Europe.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Reasoning Agents In Dynamic Domains The paper discusses an architecture for intelligent agents based on the use of A-Prolog - a language of logic programs under the answer set semantics. A-Prolog is used to represent the agent's knowledge about the domain and to formulate the agent's reasoning tasks. We outline how these tasks can be reduced to answering questions about properties of simple logic programs and demonstrate the methodology of constructing these programs. Keywords: Intelligent agents, logic programming and nonmonotonic reasoning. 1 INTRODUCTION This paper is a report on the attempt by the authors to better understand the design of software components of intelligent agents capable of reasoning, planning and acting in a changing environment. The class of such agents includes, but is not limited to, intelligent mobile robots, softbots, immobots, intelligent information systems, expert systems, and decision-making systems.

One consequence of constructivist philosophy is that concept acquistion should be possible in situations (anomalies) which were completely unforeseen by a human designer of the system. Another major consequence is that concepts should not merely be defined on the formal logical level, but should be rooted in sensorimotor interaction with the environment. This requires the existence of an intermediate level in the architecture which allows the construction of original response patterns. We also consider the computational implications of the Piagetian concept of integrating environment-driven and model-driven tendencies when searching for new concepts (known as accommodation and assimilation respectively...
1-hop neighbor's text information: Distributed Reflective Architectures The autonomy of a system can be defined as its capability to recover from unforeseen difficulties without any user intervention. This thesis proposal addresses a small part of this problem, namely the detection of anomalies within a system's own operation by the system itself. It is a response to a challenge presented by immune systems which can distinguish between "self" and "nonself", i.e. they can recognise a "foreign" pattern (due to a virus or bacterium) as different from those associated with the organism itself, even if the pattern was not previously encountered. The aim is to apply this requirement to an artificial system, where "nonself" may be any form of deliberate intrusion or random anomalous behaviour due to a fault. When designing reflective architectures or self-diagnostic systems, it is simpler to rely on a single coordination mechanism to make the system work as intended. However, such a coordination mechanism cannot be inspected or repaired by the system i...
Target text information: Execution Monitoring of High-Level Robot Programs. Imagine a robot that is executing a program on-line, and, insofar as it is reasonable to do so, it wishes to continue with this on-line program execution, no matter what exogenous events occur in the world. Execution monitoring is the robot's process of observing the world for discrepancies between the actual world and its internal representation of it, and recovering from such discrepancies. We provide a situation calculus-based account of such on-line program executions, with monitoring. This account relies on a specification for a single-step interpreter for the logic programming language Golog . The theory is supported by an implementation that is illustrated by a standard blocks world in which a robot is executing a Golog program to build a suitable tower. The monitor makes use of a simple kind of planner for recovering from malicious exogenous actions performed by another agent. After performing the sequence of actions generated by the recovery procedure, th...

A tribute to the "mostly unknown members of Peoples Temple," this book is dedicated to those who died, and to those still alive who knew and loved them.; Title: Who Died on November 18, 1978 in the Jonestown, Guyana mass murder-suicides
1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: An Amazon Best Book of April 2017: Its interesting that the dust jacket for The Road to Jonestown, Jeff Guinns biography Jim Jones, features a photograph of the infamous preacher without his signature, nearly ubiquitous sunglasses. Despite the scale of the Jonestown tragedy where more than 900 people died, willingly or not, on November 18, 1978 the man behind the shades and his motivations have remained mysterious, in part because the event is simply hard to look at and difficult to comprehend. Longtime journalist Jeff Guinn, however, doesnt mind an occasional walk on the wild side. In the same way that his 2013 biography of Charles Manson dug deep to uncover the pivotal moments of the psychopaths past (it features a boyish, smiling proto-cult-mastermind on its own jacket), Guinn unmasks Jones through interviews with the people who themselves knew him, from townspeople to his parishioners to his the reverends own family. The result is a dense read and full of detail, but none superfluous. Images of a 12-year-old walking Indiana backroads - black suit-clad and a bible in hand and conducting imaginary funeral services alone, in the woods, are weird and indelible. As we witness Joness ascent - driven by a blend of well-honed charisma and inclusive, Marxist ideals - then his fall into megalomania and madness, it all makes a little more sense at least as much as monstrosity at such scale can. The jungles of Guyana may have reclaimed the site of one of the 20th centurys most notorious crime scenes, but The Road to Jonestown answers many of the questions that have persisted for almost 40 years, foremost: How did this happen? But another one remains: After Manson and Jones, where does Guinn go from here? --Jon Foro, The Amazon Book ReviewI have to say that it is weird to find out the background of things that I grew up hearing about around the dinner table. The level of research and detail in The Road to Jonestown is the best ever, and really lets readers understand not only what happened, but how and why. This book tells the Jim Jones story better than anything I have read to date. (Jim Jones, Jr.)Jeff Guinn offers what might be the most complete picture to date of this tragic saga, and of the man who engineered it. . . . The result is a disturbing portrait of evil and a compassionate memorial to those taken in by Jones malign charisma. (Kevin Canfield The San Francisco Chronicle)"A thoroughly readable, thoroughly chilling account of a brilliant con man and his all-too vulnerable prey. . . . Generates a bizarre dare I say Manson-like? magnetic force that pulls the reader through its many pages. Noir thriller morphs into horror story." (Dan Cryer The Boston Globe)"Magisterial. . . . Guinn's exhaustive research, shrewd analysis, and engaging prose illuminate a monstrous yet tragic figure--and the motives of those who lost their souls to him." (Publishers Weekly)Guinn is a master storyteller with a unique expertise in murderous psychotics. The book reads like a thriller, each page forcing your attention to the next as the Peoples Temple slowly slides from groundbreaking progressivism toward madness. (Kevin J. Hamilton Seattle Times)"A vivid, fascinating revisitation of a time and series of episodes fast receding into history even as their forgotten survivors still walk among us." (Kirkus Reviews (starred review))Guinn paints a fascinating and even-handed portrait of Jones. (Jill Johnson Fort Worth Star-Telegram)"A powerful account of Jones's life. . . . Guinn's blow-by-blow account of Jonestown's final days in the book's last chapters is riveting." (BookPage); Title: The Road to Jonestown: Jim Jones and Peoples Temple

1-hop neighbor's text information: Empirical Risk Approximation: An Induction Principle for Unsupervised Learning Unsupervised learning algorithms are designed to extract structure from data without reference to explicit teacher information. The quality of the learned structure is determined by a cost function which guides the learning process. This paper proposes Empirical Risk Approximation as a new induction principle for unsupervised learning. The complexity of the unsupervised learning models are automatically controlled by the two conditions for learning: (i) the empirical risk of learning should uniformly converge towards the expected risk; (ii) the hypothesis class should retain a minimal variety for consistent inference. The maximal entropy principle with deterministic annealing as an efficient search strategy arises from the Empirical Risk Approximation principle as the optimal inference strategy for large learning problems. Parameter selection of learnable data structures is demonstrated for the case of k-means clustering. 1 What is unsupervised learning? Learning algorithms are desi...
1-hop neighbor's text information: Learning to Order Things wcohen,schapire,singer¡ There are many applications in which it is desirable to order rather than classify instances. Here we consider the problem of learning how to order, given feedback in the form of preference judgments, i.e., statements to the effect that one instance should be ranked ahead of another. We outline a two-stage approach in which one first learns by conventional means a preference function, of the form PREF¢¤£¦¥¨§� ©, which indicates whether it is advisable to rank £ before §. New instances are then ordered so as to maximize agreements with the learned preference function. We show that the problem of finding the ordering that agrees best with a preference function is NP-complete, even under very restrictive assumptions. Nevertheless, we describe a simple greedy algorithm that is guaranteed to find a good approximation. We then discuss an on-line learning algorithm, based on the “Hedge ” algorithm, for finding a good linear combination of ranking “experts.” We use the ordering algorithm combined with the on-line learning algorithm to find a combination of “search experts, ” each of which is a domain-specific query expansion strategy for a WWW search engine, and present experimental results that demonstrate the merits of our approach. 1
1-hop neighbor's text information: Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis is a novel statistical technique for the analysis of two--mode and co-occurrence data, which has applications in information retrieval and filtering, natural language processing, machine learning from text, and in related areas. Compared to standard Latent Semantic Analysis which stems from linear algebra and performs a Singular Value Decomposition of co-occurrence tables, the proposed method is based on a mixture decomposition derived from a latent class model. This results in a more principled approach which has a solid foundation in statistics. In order to avoid overfitting, we propose a widely applicable generalization of maximum likelihood model fitting by tempered EM. Our approach yields substantial and consistent improvements over Latent Semantic Analysis in a number of experiments.
Target text information: Unsupervised Learning from Dyadic Data Dyadic data refers to a domain with two finite sets of objects in which observations are made for dyads, i.e., pairs with one element from either set. This includes event co-occurrences, histogram data, and single stimulus preference data as special cases. Dyadic data arises naturally in many applications ranging from computational linguistics and information retrieval to preference analysis and computer vision. In this paper, we present a systematic, domain-independent framework for unsupervised learning from dyadic data by statistical mixture models. Our approach covers different models with flat and hierarchical latent class structures and unifies probabilistic modeling and structure discovery. Mixture models provide both, a parsimonious yet flexible parameterization of probability distributions with good generalization performance on sparse data, as well as structural information about data-inherent grouping structure. We propose an annealed version of the standard Expectation Maximization algorithm for model fitting which is empirically evaluated on a variety of data sets from different domains.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Ed Moloney has been Northern Ireland Editor of both the Irish Times and the Sunday Tribune. He has written for a wide range of newspapers and magazines in Ireland, the UK and the USA. In 1999 he was Irish Journalist of the Year. He currently lives in New York.Within minutes the Eksund was surrounded and boarded by armed French customs men. Within hours a shocked and disbelieving public in Ireland and Britain would hear the news of the failure of this extraordinary smuggling venture. A few weeks later and the full scope of the IRA's operations would be made public; everyone would know that the organization now had some 150 tons of explosives and modern weaponry, delivered earlier and safely stored away in secret dumps throughout Ireland. But the greatest secret of them all, that the Eksund had been betrayed, was to remain sealed.There was no time to repair the timing unit. The spotter plane had again flown overhead, and in the distance the crew could see motor launches speeding toward them. The net was obviously closing, Cleary watched the scene with a sense of grim satisfaction; his instincts had been right.Cleary knew that the TPU must have been tampered with after the Eksund had left Tripoli harbor and not before. The IRA man had made up the mechanism himself before sailing and had linked it to detonators fixed into slabs of Semtex not long after leaving the dock. The TPU had been in perfect working order. He had double-checked to make sure.Cleary never got as far as even connecting the device. Instead the realization of treachery forced a number of thoughts to flash through his head, as he later told IRA colleagues. The British must have known about their plans all along, and soon the media would know as well. But the question that brought a cold sweat to his brow concerned the identity of the traitor. There was certainly a collaborator on board, but was there another one, someone back in Ireland who had betrayed the Eksund and its precious cargo?A cursory glance at the bomb mechanism told Cleary that the plan would have to be scrapped; the firing unit for the explosives had been sabotaged, its wiring damaged beyond repair. The device, known as a timing power unit (TPU), was simple to operate and safe enough for a child to use, but it was just as easy to put out of commission. Whoever had neutralized Cleary's bombs would not have needed much training.The IRA man had chosen a hole known as Deep Hurd in which to scuttle the Eksund. The plan was to sink the vessel and then head in the dinghy for the Brittany coast, after which the crew would catch a ferry back to Ireland without the authorities' ever knowing about the IRA's audacious plan. That was when he discovered that a traitor had wrecked his plan.The Eksund's ballast tanks had already been filled with water in preparation for scuttling. Cleary had crafted Semtex bombs that were just large enough to make holes in the vessel's skin but not so large that the noise of the explosions would attract attention. French forensic experts later calculated that the Eksund would have sunk within seconds.Cleary had spent most of his adult life in the Provisional IRA and had become one of the organization's most skilled bomb makers. From the Tallaght area of Dublin, a vast sprawling working-class housing estate on the southwest edge of the city, he rose in the IRA engineering department, that part of the IRA which had the job of manufacturing homemade explosives and devising the organization's impressive range of improvised and home-made weaponry. Although well known to the Irish Special Branch, he had managed to avoid imprisonment. Only once had the authorities come near to pinning him, and that was eight years earlier, in 1977, when he beat a charge of making bombs in Kildare. By the time he was appointed to oversee the Eksund voyage, Cleary had advanced to the top of the IRA's military elite and was in charge of its vital engineering department. He was a natural choice to head the Eksund operation.The colorful Dublin businessman Adrian Hopkins, who had found and purchased the Eksund, captained the vessel as he had the two other ships used by the IRA to facilitate the Libyan venture. The IRA had provided two sailors to assist him, James Coll and James Doherty, both of them County Donegal trawler men. Hopkins's friend and sometime business partner Henry Cairns, the man suspected of having introduced Hopkins to the IRA, was along for the ride. The steering problem struck again on October 27. The crew tried to make repairs but with no success, and the Eksund drifted closer and closer to the French coast. The next day Cleary realized the mission was doomed and took the fateful decision to scuttle the ship and sink its precious freight before it ran aground. His orders had been precise: on no account must the British learn of the IRA's arms-smuggling operation; the very outcome of the war depended on secrecy being preserved.As the Eksund passed the Brittany coast and veered left for Ireland, the boat ran into a different sort of trouble. The fifty-year-old vessel, which had shipped grain most of her life, had endured a difficult journey out to Malta. At one stage the vessel had to dock in England for engine repairs, and at another point the steering failed.Within hours of setting sail, however, the IRA commander's doubts returned. A plane flew directly over the Eksund, and Cleary suspected it was an RAF spotter aircraft. Every day of the voyage thereafter a similar aircraft would perform the same maneuver. There seemed little doubt that someone was keeping a very close eye on the Eksund's progress. Off Gibraltar the plane swooped down so low that the pilot was visible. Cleary grew more and more nervous.The Libyans took precautions. The Eksund was loaded at nighttime to reduce the chances of being spotted, and the boat was moored in the military section of the dockside for added security. But even so, Cleary was glad when the Eksund finally weighed anchor.Although the nearby British embassy was closed, emptied of its staff following a major diplomatic row with Qaddafi, everyone, IRA and Libyans alike, assumed that the British had left their spies behind. Some could easily be mingling with the crowds down at the harbor or at the nearby souk where traders bought and sold gold and silver and exchanged gossip.The Libyan harbor was a dangerous place for IRA men on a mission to smuggle weapons. The Tripoli docks were regularly jammed with ships unloading consumer goods, as a result of a massive oil-financed consumer boom; the bustling labor force was a mixture of Arabs drawn from nearly every country in North Africa and European expatriates lured by the high salaries offered in this former Italian colony.This operation had to be handled differently. The Eksund's cargo was as large as the four other shipments put together. The sheer size and bulk of weaponry involved meant that the loading process would be lengthy, and that made an operation at sea simply out of the question. With the CIA and other Western intelligence agencies taking an ever-greater interest in Libyan affairs, the chances of being spotted by satellite surveillance were too great. The Eksund's manifest was breathtaking: 1,000 Romanian-made AK-47 automatic rifles, a million rounds of ammunition, 430 grenades, 12 rocket-propelled grenade launchers with ample supplies of grenades and rockets, 12 heavy Russian DHSK machine guns, over 50 SAM-7 ground-to-air missiles capable of downing British army helicopters, 2,000 electric detonators and 4,700 fuses, 106 millimeter cannons, general-purpose machine guns, anti-tank missile launchers, flame throwers, and two tons of the powerful Czech-made explosive Semtex. With a cargo like that to load there was no option; the work had to be done in Tripoli itself.Cleary's fears had been growing ever since the Eksund had left the Libyan capital, Tripoli, some two weeks earlier, as he later told an IRA inquiry in messages smuggled from a French prison. The Panamanian-registered vessel had been loaded with some 150 tons of modern, sophisticated weaponry at Tripoli dockside by sailors from Colonel Qaddafi's small naval service on October 13 and 14, 1987. Although that part of the operation had gone smoothly, Cleary was uneasy. This was the fifth trip since August 1985, but the four earlier cargoes, amounting in total to another 150 tons of weapons and explosives, had been safely and secretly transferred to IRA boats from a Libyan vessel off Malta, well out at sea and far from the sight of hostile, prying eyes.There was only one thought in Gabriel Cleary's mind, and it chilled him. As he checked the firing unit linked to the twelve explosive charges placed beneath the Eksund's waterline, the signs of sabotage were unmistakable. With a growing sense of horror the IRA's director of engineering realized that the most ambitious gunrunning plot ever in the IRA's long war with Britain had been betrayed.; Title: Secret History of the Ira: Gerry Adams And The Thirty Year War

His interest in the British campaigns in Russia were first piqued in his teens when reading a chronological list of Australian recipients of the Victoria Cross which showed two seemingly anomalous decorations for 'North Russia 1919' listed separately from the First World War awards. Some further digging revealed both Australian VC recipients, one of whom was a fellow South Australian, had volunteered to serve in the same unit of the British Army. Further research proved difficult, so little had ever been published and the campaign seemingly largely unknown and ignored.

Target text information: Description: Intelligent, captivating and disturbing in equal measure. William Matchett's Secret Victory reveals how the IRA was infiltrated, degraded and strategically defeated at times with violent and deadly consequences. To read this book is to understand how intelligence drives irregular conflicts. Doug Beattie MCAuthor of, An Ordinary SoldierThis book poses a simple, but hitherto under examined subject regarding the effectiveness of the RUC Special Branch in combating violent subversion during the Northern Ireland crisis: a challenging topic, surrounded as it is by historical contention, political dispute and the innate secrecy of the Branchs work. This has conspired to produce a lack of informed commentary on the topic, which this work successfully redresses. The structure is well thought out and the writing itself is presented with great fluency, enabling many original and telling insights into this understudied area. The book presents the notion of push and pull, examining the extent to which the Provisional IRA was pulled into the peace process via the activities of the Special Branch. Alongside the push versus pull analysis the other lens through which the book derives much of its insight is the assessment of whether the Special Branch could be said to have constituted an effective and impartial force in helping to bring the conflict to a resolution or whether it was a partial and destructive player in a so-called dirty war. The author trenchantly, and effectively deconstructs the dirty war thesis, illustrating that much of the narrative is partial, factually flawed or often simply incoherent and contradictory. The systematic critique of this popular orthodoxy through evidence and argumentation, along with the more detailed illumination of the Special Branchs evolution as a vital arm in the security effort, constitutes a highly original contribution to knowledge and understanding of the Northern Ireland conflict.

Target text information: Description: This erudite and accessible study of sexual temptation and intrigue overcomes the barriers of time, religious confessions, and academic disciplines to unfold a powerful, universal tale for the modern reader. Shalom Goldman, writing with great knowledge and without pretense or jargon, is able to hold the reader spellbound as he interweaves the complex turns and interpretations of the Joseph story through many cultures and times. Goldman, never in the thrall of any one discipline or school of thought, gives us a truly interdisciplinary understanding of the underlying forces that have made this story one of the most popular tales in world literature. Gordon D. Newby, Emory UniversityGoldman brings together in very accessible form a lot of material that often remains walled off and hidden from readers. Journal of Biblical LiteratureOne of the world's oldest recorded folktales tells the story of a handsome young man and the older woman in whose house he resides. Overcome by her feelings for him, the woman attempts to seduce him. When he turns her down she is enraged, and to her husband she accuses the young man of attacking her. The husband, seemingly convinced of his wife's innocence, has the young man punished. but it is precisely that punishment tat leads to the hero's vindication and eventual rise to power and prominence.; Title: The Wiles of Women/The Wiles of Men: Joseph and Potiphar's Wife in Ancient Near Eastern, Jewish, and Islamic Folklore

1-hop neighbor's text information: Visual Interpretation of Hand Gestures for Human-Computer Interaction: A Review The use of hand gestures provides an attractive alternative to cumbersome interface devices for human-computer interaction (HCI). In particular, visual interpretation of hand gestures can help in achieving the ease and naturalness desired for HCI. We survey the literature on vision-based hand gesture recognition within the context of its role in HCI. The number of approaches to video-based hand gesture recognition has grown in recent years. Thus, the need for systematization and analysis of different aspects of gestural interaction has developed. We discuss a complete model of hand gestures that possesses both spatial and dynamic properties of human hand gestures and can accommodate for all their natural types. Two classes of models that have been employed for interpretation of hand gestures for HCI are considered. The first utilizes 3D models of the human hand, while the second relies on the appearance of the human hand in the image. Investigation of model parameters and analysis feat...
Target text information: A Gesture Interface for Human-Robot-Interaction We present a person-independent gesture interface implemented on a real robot which allows the user to give simple commands ,e.g., how to grasp an object and where to put it. The gesture analysis relies on realtime tracking of the user's hand and a re\Thetaned analysis of the hand's shape in the presence of varying complex backgrounds. 1. Introduction Robots of the future will interact with humans in a natural way. They will understand spoken and gestural commands and will articulate themselves by speech and gesture. We are especially interested in gestural interfaces for robots operating in uncontrolled real world environments. This imposes several constraints on human-robot-interaction as a special case of human-computer-interaction: 1. The robot visual system must cope with variable and possibly complex backgrounds. A system requiring uniform background is not exible enough for real world applications. 2. The system must be person independent. Many users should be able to operate ...

Alderman, Topsail AdvertiserThe second edition updates 'Echoes' with new material on hurricanes, the seaturtle rescue center, and renovations of its historic buildings. -- Ben Steelman, Wilmington Star-NewsBorn and raised in an Ohio town with a population of 350 people, David Stallman learned the rigors of farm work and house painting from his father. After college and two years in the military, he was employed by IBM as a service engineer, advancing in his 33 year career to program management staff, which included technical writing. Soon after his retirement, the author wrote and published several articles about his motorcycle tours in the west.His love of Topsail Island began in 1986 when he visited a friend there. His childhood dreams of living on an island were realized when he purchased a cottage. He quickly became acquainted with many of the island's residents. Curious about the island's history, he began to collect people's stories and soon became involved in a quest to preserve the island's historic buildings. His research also took him to libraries and archives in Washington, DC and Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland. While doing research he presented his findings in talks at Topsail Island and at the NC World War II Symposium. Many of his stories first appeared in local publications and they became the seeds for Echoes of Topsail.Stallman continues to be involved in island activities and feels very much a part of the Topsail community. He and his wife Carol live in Wilmington, NC.; Title: Echoes of Topsail: Stories of the Island's Past

The long time Topsail Island resident BJ Cothran will be appearing at QuarterMoon Books at 708 South Anderson Boulevard in Topsail Beach to ink her appreciation to her fans on the inside of her new book.Cothran's new book is a historical reference titled simply: "Topsail Island. (Then & Now.)" Her new book is broken up into five sections, with each one dedicated to the history of each town that makes up the island. Each page has two photographs: one from decades ago showing how an area once looked, and a current picture of the same area showing the changes that have occurred over time. Cothran not only took all of the current pictures for the book, she also writes detailed descriptions of the changes that have happened in the area. While the book is a comparison of the island, past and the present, the date to mark in the future is September 5 from 2 to 4 p.m.Cothran will be on hand to answer questions and swap stories with people of various interests. Whether readers buy the book to learn about a past they were too young to witness, or if they are there just to remember the way it was, the book and the author will be there to share information about Topsail... then and now.For more information contact QuarterMoon Books at 910 328 4969. Later that evening, a different book signing will be taking place at a store that is also quite different from the more traditional stores. Events at the Gypsy Sun don't just include book readings, there are also Yoga classes, Tai Chi demonstrations and Energy Bowl performances; all among a variety of books that often can't be found anywhere else on Topsail Island.The Gypsy Sun's guest of honor that night, Author Beverly Ferebee Heyde, will be putting her autograph on copies of her latest effort Bend in the Road - Life's Crossroads; the first in at least a two part story.This novel follows a character named Catriona "Caty" Maclean as she leaves Scotland with her family to save themselves for the violent Jacobite Wars. As a result, they find themselves living in the Carolinas. This new life in America forces Caty to confront several of the pressing issues of the time, including slavery and frontier living. She must almost choose between two men that have shown her love. The two-hour book signing begins at 6:30 pm. The Gypsy Sun is located at 206 B North Topsail Drive. For more information, call 910 328-0328.Both of the authors scheduled to sign books on Saturday are native Virginians, and they both now call North Carolina home. While Cothran writes history and Heyde writes fiction, they have one thing in common. They both write about what they know: home.Local author and photographer BJ Cothran shows how this beloved vacation spot and popular retirement community has survived major storms, growing pains, and modern development. BJ is the author of two novels, an anthology, and Arcadia's Images of America: Topsail Island. She also publishes Topsail Magazine.; Title: Topsail Island (Then and Now)

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: The focus of this fine book, which is at once doggedly scrupulous and quietly passionate, is the slave market that operated in New Orleans in the years before the Civil War An area of recent and still tentative study has to do with the effect the slaves had on the people who bought and sold them; to this Johnson makes important and original contributions In what it tells us about the slaves, Soul by Soul adds more detail to what is by now a staggering body of information. It is in telling us more about what slavery did to the men and women who stood on the privileged side of the divide that Johnson performs his most useful service. Slavery brutalized its victims, but it also corrupted its masters. It was, in every single regard, unspeakable.Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post Book WorldA forceful reminder that life in the Crescent City after the battle wasn't all toleration [This is an] elegant and intelligent book.Nicholas Lemann, New YorkerJust when readers might have thought nothing new could be written about slavery, Walter Johnson's behind-the-scenes look at the New Orleans slave market unmasks the brutalities of trafficking in human flesh in a terrifying, unforgettable manner. Mr. Johnson's carefully researched saga picks up after the 1808 U.S. ban on trans-Atlantic slave trading. Far from shutting down slavery, the prohibition simply boosted domestic slave trafficking Soul by Soul gives context to its content, making it a fascinating 'insider's' view of a world created by slavery.Meta G. Carstarphen, Dallas Morning News[Soul by Soul has] an interesting and compelling argument Where Johnson succeeds[is in] using the New Orleans slave market, its contents and its customers as a way to understand a culture that no longer exists.Matthew DeBord, SalonJohnson's extremely rich and subtle work, the first in-depth look at the slave markets, never lets the reader forget the reality that this was a trade in human beings Among the most striking and important aspects of the book is the way Johnson makes clear the resistance of enslaved African-Americans to becoming mere items of property Johnson teaches us that, despite the insistence of white slaveholders that slaves were simply possessions, enslaved African-Americans routinely asserted their humanity and forced slaveholders to take this into account when bringing people to market. At the same time that Johnson keeps the spotlight squarely on the humanity of enslaved African-Americans, he also presents a complicated account of those who went to the markets to buy Anyone interested in American history must strive to understand something about slavery, and as Johnson shows us, the event of the sale of one human being to another is at the center of the story of slavery. The horror of that transaction remains so powerful that even today descendants of its victims, as well as of its perpetrators, are still trying to comprehend it. Walter Johnson's important book makes a valuable contribution to that endeavor.Judith Weisenfeld, NewsdayWalter Johnson has gone where no historian has gone before: inside the slave markets of the antebellum South Johnson, through his book, has spoken for the unknown thousands who couldn't speak for themselves Johnson has given a voice to those voiceless slaves whose descendants owe it to their ancestors to read this book.Gregory Kane, Baltimore SunA challenging, eye-opening study that deserves a wide audience Johnson delves into the contradictions and complexities that arise when human beings are treated as commodities He gets inside the heads of slaves, traders and buyers in order to explore the desires, fears and strategies they brought to this inhuman transaction Soul by Soul shines a penetrating light on the brutal heart of the South's peculiar institution.Fritz Lanham, Houston ChronicleSoul by Soul is a stunning excavation of the past, a book that is sure to be read and debated for years to come. Walter Johnson creates a common identity for the slaves by letting their voices give shape to the narrative. In an age such as ours, so premised on individual liberty, the author performs a kind of moral autopsy on the mindset of slave owning.Jason Berry, Gambit WeeklyJohnson tells us many things about [the] commodification of human beings, some of which you probably know and others that are more surprising Johnson's book covers wide territory, from the petty encounters of small slave traders to the extraordinary power of slavery in the southern economy.Peter Walker, Financial TimesJohnson provides the fullest, most penetrating examination of the antebellum slave market to date. Using slave narratives, court records, planters' letters, and more, Johnson enters the slave pens and showrooms of the New Orleans slave market to observe how slavery turned men and women into merchandise and how slaves resisted such efforts to steal their humanity. He tracks the slaves from their march to the market to the terrifying moments of sale and adaptation to new masters, places, and work. Johnson's original, important, and brilliantly presented book makes a case for the slave market as 'best place to see slavery.' It was there that self-interest, concepts of race, and the slave 'community' came together to reveal how white men traded their own souls for a stake in human property. An essential book for anyone who wants to understand why slavery matters.Randall M. Miller, Library JournalWalter Johnson is Winthrop Professor of History and Professor of African and African American Studies at Harvard University.; Title: Soul by Soul: Life Inside the Antebellum Slave Market
1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: With its legacy of brutality and of the horrific overseas passage, the transatlantic slave trade may be imagined as the kidnapping of Africans without regard to nationality or ethnicity. Based on his research, however, Michael A. Gomez suggests that Africans, upon arriving in America, were dispersed much more closely along ethnic and cultural lines than previously acknowledged. The underlying theme of his provocative work, Exchanging Our Country Marks, is that while blacks eventually replaced their African ethnic identities with new racial ones after arriving in the American South, they retained much of their original cultures far longer than was originally suspected. Some of his most interesting evidence of this comes in the form of runaway-slave advertisements, which identified the slaves by their ethnic roots ("Dinah, an Ebo wench that speaks very good English"). By scrutinizing ex-slave narratives, stories, music, and even the location and nature of slave rebellions, Gomez pieces together a genealogy of blacks in the American South, attempting to examine their notions of identity. Of course, much is based on significant speculation, a fact that only underscores the difficulty of such scholarship. Gomez manages to present a wide range of information clearly as he expands on a wealth of recent research regarding the slave trade and the history of blacks in America, making Exchanging Our Country Marks a vast and creative exploration of African identity in the United States from 1526 to 1830.Deeply researched in both African and North American sources."nternational Journal of African Historical Studies"[A] rare and creative inquiry into the origins of African identity in the United States from 1526 to 1830."Gaither Reporter"[A] conceptual "tour de force."

But before he embarked upon his career as the nation's foremost landscape architect, he was a correspondent for The New York Times, and it was under its auspices that he journeyed through the slave states in the 1850s. His day-by-day observations - including intimate accounts of the daily lives of masters and slaves, the operation of the plantation system, and the pernicious effects of slaves on all classes of society, black and white - were largely collected in the Cotton Kingdom. Published in 1861, just as the Southern states were storming out of the Union, it has been hailed ever since as singularly fair and authentic, an unparalleled account of America's "peculiar institution".; Title: The Cotton Kingdom: A Traveller's Observations On Cotton And Slavery In The American Slave States, 1853-1861

It would also be suitable for a university course book"Antti Ruotsala - Institute of Historical Research review, April 2006In the thirteenth century, a dynamic and expansive Catholic Christendom, which had been free of major attack from its steppe frontier for over two hundred years, was confronted by a new and alien power in the shape of the vast empire of the advancing Mongols.Despite the devastation of Hungary and Poland in 1241-2 and ongoing hostilities in Eastern Europe, the advent of the Mongols appeared to offer the West new opportunities. Historically, the failure to exploit these opportunities by not allying with the Mongols in the Near East against the Muslims, or by not converting the Mongols to Christianity is usually blamed on the West. This book demonstrates that such possibilities were illusory.Written in a lively and accessible style, The Mongols and The West reassesses relations between the Catholic West and the Mongols from the first appearance of Chinggis Khans armies on Europes horizons in 1221 to the death of Temr or Tamerlane (1405) and the battle of Tannenberg (1410), across the spheres of diplomacy, missionary endeavour and trade.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Unusual book; Title: Sugar Barons
1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Starred Review. Parker (Monte Cassino: The Hardest Fought Battle of World War II) begins this engrossing narrative of the construction of what Theodore Roosevelt called one of the great works of the world well before the 20th century: everyone from Benjamin Franklin to Goethe was interested in a trans-isthmus canal, and one of the most arresting sections of the book chronicles the failed French efforts, in the late 1800s, to build one. Roosevelt then called for the building of a canal in his first address to Congress. The project faced countless challenges, but Parker is especially deft when addressing the racism that magnified already appalling working conditions. Those in charge didn't want to hire white American workers, who were too expensive and too unionized (though later, whites were hired), and the discussions about workers became racialized. The native Isthmian was too indolent, but black workers from the British West Indies were viewed as cheap and expendable. U.S. authorities discriminated racially, paying workers unequally and trying, in general, to prevent the intermingling of the races. This is not a narrow history of mechanical engineering but a well-researched and satisfying account of imperial vision and social inequity. Illus., maps. (Mar. 1) Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.This history of the Panama Canal describes the scheming, the speculating, and the backbreaking laborperformed mostly by West Indians, who bore the brunt of the estimated twenty-five thousand fatalitiesthat went into "the costliest project ever yet attempted." Construction began in 1880, as a privately financed French enterprise, and was completed by the United States, in 1914. (Theodore Roosevelt called in the Army to finish the job.) Parker offers a detailed study of the myriad personalities and design plans associated with the work, but his limpid prose is best suited to accounts of the dangers the laborers faced: frequent mechanical accidents, landslides spanning fifty acres and ten days, and bouts of typhoid, dysentery, malaria, and yellow fever. As mountains were moved and raging rivers rerouted, one American diplomat observed, "Human life is about the cheapest article to be purchased." Copyright 2008 Click here to subscribe to The New Yorker; Title: Panama Fever: The Epic Story of One of the Greatest Human Achievements of All Time-- the Building of the Panama Canal
1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Panamas answer to the question of how to stay viable in the face of all this competition has been the most ambitious engineering project on the isthmus since the Canal was first built: the building of a third, much larger set of locks alongside the existing ones.This was an exceptionally boldand expensiveplan. The idea was to build absolutely gargantuan lock chambers capable of handling post-PANAMAXsize ships. It would be a third lane for the Canal that would parallel and dwarf the existing lock complexes.The original lock chambers are 1000 feet long by 110 feet wide. They can handle ships loaded with up to 5,000 standard 20-foot shipping containers.The new locks are 1,400 feet long by 180 feet wide. The biggest vessels which can go through these locks, dubbed New Panamax ships, can carry up to 13,000 containers.The cost of the project was nearly as staggering: an estimated $5.25 billion, a nail-bitingly large sum for a middle-income country which in 2014 had a GDP of $46.2 billion.The project also required digging a new, nearly four-mile-long channel on the Pacific side of the isthmus, allowing the giant ships to bypass the old Miraflores Locks, which open right onto the Pacific Ocean. Existing navigational channels had to be deepened through dredging. And the freshwater supply feeding the Canal had to be increased enough to raise the level of Gatun Lake by nearly eighteen inches to accommodate these colossal, heavy ships. The extra water was also needed to supply the new chambers.The system for raising and lowering ships in the new chambers is impressive, if arguably not as simple and elegant a solution as that used in the original lock chambers.Like the original locks, the new ones use no pumps to raise and lower ships, relying instead on gravity to fill and empty the lock chambers. To conserve water, the locks water system was designed to reuse 60 percent of the water used in every transit. Alongside each of the new lock chambers is a series of three water basins, arranged in tiers. Each of these basins is the same length as the lock chamber it parallels, and is nearly 230 feet wide and about 18 feet deep.When a ship is lowered during a lockage, water flows successively into each water basin tier and into the next-lower lock chamber until the water level equalizes. The water thus recaptured can be used for the next lockage. The process is reversed for ships which are being raised. This system reduces the amount of water that is lost to the sea. The new design aims to use 7 percent less water than the original, much smaller locks.The lock gates are a different design as well. Where the original gates have two leaves which open and close like French doors, the new gates use just one leaf, which rolls in and out straight across the lock chamber, like a sliding door.The new gates were made in Italy and shipped on giant barges to Panama. Each gate is approximately 190 feet long and 30 feet thick. The heaviest ones weigh 4,200 tons.The original locks raised and lowered ships in stages at lock complexes located at three points along the CanalMiraflores at the Pacific entrance, Cristobal on the Atlantic entrance, and Pedro Miguel in between. There are only two new lock complexes: one on the Pacific side and one on the Atlantic side.Controversy dogged the project from the moment it was conceived. For a start, critics pointed out that even the existing Canal can run short of freshwater during a protracted dry season or unusually dry rainy season. This can force the Canal to limit the size of ships allowed to transit, as the lake level gets too low for the heaviest ships. Even with the expansion of the water supply, would there be enough water to supply three sets of locks?Others worried about the environmental impact of such a massive construction project, particularly at a time when Panamas ecosystems were already under huge pressure from deforestation and development.Still others questioned whether the project was needed at all. Some analysts claimed that the trans-isthmian route had peaked, and the case for increased capacity depended too heavily on a volume of trade between the Far East and the US East Coast that could not be counted on to last.There were also accusations of corruption in the awarding of contracts, which some claimed went to contractors who were not competent to perform the work or had not submitted realistic bids.A particular concern was the quality of the concrete used in the new chambers. While the concrete in the original locks hast held up for more than 100 years so far, the walls of new chambers sprang leaks from the moment they were filled. Tests performed on the concrete found it to be riddled with air pockets. At the time of writing, this problem had not been resolved.As if all this werent enough, work stoppages, clashes with contractors over money, a strike, and ongoing labor disputes pushed the expected completion date far past its original deadline.It will be years before it becomes clear if Panamas gamble has paid off. But many far beyond the isthmus are betting it will: sea ports, particularly on the East Coast of the US, have been deepening their own channels in anticipation of the massive ship traffic they expect to come their way.So what of the future? Even as the third locks were being built, the ACP was already talking about the possibility of a fourth, even bigger set of locks. These would be capable of handling ships weighed down with 18,000 containers. And some still bring up the age-old dream of a sea-level canal at Panama.It appears the Panama Canal dream is not over yet.; Title: Portrait of the Panama Canal (International Portrait Series)

1-hop neighbor's text information: A Statistical Method for Estimating the Usefulness of Text Databases Searching desired data in the Internet is one of the most common ways the Internet is used. No single search engine is capable of searching all data in the Internet. The approach that provides an interface for invoking multiple search engines for each user query has the potential to satisfy more users. When the number of search engines under the interface is large, invoking all search engines for each query is often not cost effective because it creates unnecessary network traffic by sending the query to a large number of useless search engines and searching these useless search engines wastes local resources. The problem can be overcome if the usefulness of every search engine with respect to each query can be predicted. In this paper, we present a statistical method to estimate the usefulness of a search engine for any given query. For a given query, the usefulness of a search engine in this paper is defined to be a combination of the number of documents in the search engine that are sufficiently similar to the query and the average similarity of these documents. Experimental results indicate that our estimation method is much more accurate than existing methods.
1-hop neighbor's text information: Evaluating Database Selection Techniques: A Testbed and Experiment We describe a testbed for database selection techniques and an experiment conducted using this testbed. The testbed is a decomposition of the TREC/TIPSTER data that allows analysis of the data along multiple dimensions, including collection-based and temporal-based analysis. We characterize the subcollections in this testbed in terms of number of documents, queries against which the documents have been evaluated for relevance, and distribution of relevant documents. We then present initial results from a study conducted using this testbed that examines the effectiveness of the gGlOSS approach to database selection. The databases from our testbed were ranked using the gGlOSS techniques and compared to the gGlOSS Ideal(l) baseline and a baseline derived from TREC relevance judgements. We have examined the degree to which several gGlOSS estimate functions approximate these baselines.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Mining the Web to Create Minority Language Corpora The Web is a valuable source of language specific resources but the process of collecting, organizing and utilizing these resources is difficult. We describe CorpusBuilder, an approach for automatically generating Web-search queries for collecting documents in a minority language. It differs from pseudo-relevance feedback in that retrieved documents are labeled by an automatic language classifier as relevant or irrelevant, and this feedback is used to generate new queries. We experiment with various query-generation methods and query-lengths to find inclusion/exclusion terms that are helpful for retrieving documents in the target language and find that using odds-ratio scores calculated over the documents acquired so far was one of the most consistently accurate query-generation methods. We also describe experiments using a handful of words elicited from a user instead of initial documents and show that the methods perform similarly. Experiments applying the same approach to multiple languages are also presented showing that our approach generalizes to a variety of languages. 1.
Target text information: Automatic Discovery of Language Models for Text Databases The proliferation of text databases within large organizations and on the Internet makes it difficult for a person to know which databases to search. Given language models that describe the contents of each database, a database selection algorithm such as GlOSS can provide assistance by automatically selecting appropriate databases for an information need. Current practice is that each database provides its language model upon request, but this cooperative approach has important limitations. This paper demonstrates that cooperation is not required. Instead, the database selection service can construct its own language models by sampling database contents via the normal process of running queries and retrieving documents. Although random sampling is not possible, it can be approximated with carefully selected queries. This sampling approach avoids the limitations that characterize the cooperative approach, and also enables additional capabilities. Experimental results demonstrate th...

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: "Black Church Beginnings" provides an intimate look at the struggles of African Americans to establish spiritual communities in the harsh world of slavery in the American colonies. Written by one of todaybs foremost experts on African American religion, this book traces the growth of the black church from its start in the mid-1700s to the end of the nineteenth century.As Henry Mitchell shows, the first African American churches didnbt just organize; they labored hard, long, and sacrificially to form a meaningful, independent faith. Mitchell insightfully takes readers inside this process of development. He candidly examines the challenge of finding adequately trained pastors for new local congregations, confrontations resulting from internal class structure in big city churches, and obstacles posed by emerging denominationalism.Original in its subject matter and singular in its analysis, Mitchellbs "Black Church Beginnings" makes a major contribution to the study of American church history.; Title: Black Church Beginnings: The Long-Hidden Realities of the First Years

What really makes this book a good, easy read is the detail that he is able to provide both from a technical standpoint and the clarity that he presents this information so that it is easy to comprehend. As a bonus, the well captioned photographs and technical drawings all complement the text and provide an excellent reference for modelers."

Veres Cybermodeler Online 2017-08-14)The F-106 was developed for the U.S. Air Force as a next-generation interceptor following Convair's pioneering delta-wing F-102, and excelled in every aspect of the Air Defense Command mission. With its advanced Hughes radar system, Falcon air-to-air missiles, and top speed well in excess of Mach 2, the Delta Dart became known as "the ultimate interceptor," able to scramble, launch, find its targets, and blow them out of the sky in short order. This sixth member of the "Century Series" family of supersonic fighters established a World Absolute Speed Record of 1,525 mph, and could outrun any other single-engine jet.Written by a former USAF Command Pilot, this book not only tells the dramatic story of this incredible aircraft, it puts you right into the cockpit intercepting bogies in the Stratosphere at Mach 2 during the peak years of the Cold War.; Title: World's Fastest Single-Engine Jet Aircraft: The Story of Convair's F-106 Delta Dart Interceptor
1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Overall, it is an excellent book on a subject that is both historically significant and fascinating to read. It is one I can highly recommend. Scott Van Aken, www.modelingmadness.com (April 2009)Number 77 in Osprey's 'Combat Aircraft' series, US Navy 1-2 Skyraider Units of the Vietnam War combines the skills of two former editors of Naval Aviation News, Richard R Burgess and Rosario M Rausa, the latter of whom had the personal experience of flying A-1s in two combat tours over Vietnam. All Navy units that served between 1960 through final withdrawal from the theater in 1969 are covered, with photos and color profiles to illustrate some of the striking markings with which the Spads went into battle. Firsthand accounts add a vital extra dimension to the narrative, including the occasional hair-raising encounters these lumbering but tough old birds had with surface-to-air missiles and MiG-17a -- two of which were shot down by Skyraiders in the course of the war. Jon Guttman, Vietnam Magazine (August 2009)Designed and built on a carrier-based attack aircraft, the A-1 never saw combat in World War II and eventually was viewed as dated. But it proved its worth during the Korean War and earned a reputation as a craft able to carry any weapon in the naval arsenal. This history comes packed with black and white photos and is a 'must' for any serious military collection. California Bookwatch (June 2009)Rick Burgess is a retired naval flight officer who served in two patrol squadrons flying P-3 Orion patrol aircraft. Burgess, a former editor of Naval Aviation News and the current managing editor of Sea Power magazine, is the editor of two books on naval aviation and the author of numerous articles on naval aviation history and organization.Zip Rausa is a retired naval aviator who flew A-1 Skyraiders in two attack squadrons and completed two combat deployments in the Vietnam War.

Davenport, The Wall Street Journal"Superb account of the final, violent throes of World War I . . . compelling account of the hastily assembled, lightly trained American Expeditionary Forces." - Tony Perry, Los Angeles Times"Based on meticulous research Gene Faxs fascinating account of the poorly trained 79th Division in the Meuse-Argonne offensive tells us much about how inexperience, poor communications and inadequate support compelled that divisions courageous soldiers to fight 'with their bare hands.' Fax tells the amazing story of how the American Expeditionary Force and the 79th Division overcame many errors and false ideas and paid a high price learning how to fight effectively." - Brigadier General (ret.) Robert A. Doughty"The men of the AEFs 79th Division were warriors for the working day: civilians in uniform. Their training was minimal, their cohesion limited, their tactics defying four years of Western Front experience. Yet the 79ths first assignment was to take one of the best-defended position in the Argonne Forest. It became a compound disaster. But the divisions subsequent recovery is a case study in American soldiers often-demonstrated high learning curve and the AEFs contribution to victory in 1918. Gene Faxs new history of the 79th Division is a masterful study of the long and difficult road to victory." - Professor Dennis Showalter"Ordered to capture the heavily fortified high-ground of Montfaucon on the first day of Meuse-Argonne, the doughboys of 79th Division-fresh from Baltimore, Washington and Philadelphia-proved themselves as brave and tenacious soldiers. With Their Bare Hands is a fine testament to their courage under fire and a compelling work of history by Gene Fax." - Mitchell Yockelson, author of FORTY-SEVEN DAYS: HOW PERSHING'S WARRIOR'S CAME OF AGE TO DEFEAT THE GERMAN ARMY IN WORLD WAR I"A careful study of a little-remembered division, in a little-remembered battle, in a little-remembered war. All of which is a pity, because as Gene Fax points out, the accomplishments of the 79th Division were remarkable and reflected better on the record of the American Expeditionary Force than historians often assume.

This is a breakthrough analysis of the role that lynching served in southern political culture.Glenda Elizabeth Gilmore, author of Defying Dixie: The Radical Roots of Civil Rights, 19191950Feimster traces the lives of two political incendiaries, Ida B. Wells and Rebecca Felton, who illuminate the landscape of American race and gender politics. Brilliantly analytical, strikingly well-narrated, this monumental book masters theme and story to reveal heretofore hidden histories of the women who both played and transformed the politics of rape and lynching in the New South.Timothy B. Tyson, author of Blood Done Sign My Name: A True StoryThoughtful and engaging, Crystal Feimster's Southern Horrors forces us to rethink women's history and the history of the American South. Accessible to students and general readers, this powerful story is told with originality and sophistication.Suzanne Lebsock, author of A Murder in Virginia: Southern Justice on TrialSouthern Horrors, an impressive achievement, expands and deepens our understanding of the sexual and racial politics of the American South. Through the public careers of two women and a cast of thousands, Crystal Feimster compels us to grapple with the full dimensions of an American tragedy and the movements for change it set in motion.Leon F. Litwack, author of Trouble in Mind: Black Southerners in the Age of Jim CrowFascinating...Feimster's account challenges us to think again about race and sexual politics...[A] rich and detailed account...The work of Rebecca Felton and Ida Wells engaged with the implications of a form (although not a unique one) of sexual politics, and Feimster's account should be rightly acclaimed as testament to these projects.Mary Evans, Times Higher EducationHistorian Crystal N. Feimster provides an opportunity to better understand the lack of sympathy between black and white suffragists and how lynching spurred both to the political activism that eventually won women the vote...This account leaves us with a sense of what made the fights for racial equality and women's suffrage so complicated and contentious. We're left, too, with an appreciation of the gumption both Wells and Felton showed entering a political fray resistant to their participation and unable to conceive of changes that seem so obviously necessary in hindsight.Margaret Wheeler Johnson, Double XAn interesting, though somewhat disheartening, tale of the times, this book is destined for a special place in the classrooms and libraries of those concerned with sexual and racial politics. It is a readable study for those simply interested in the historical account, and is made so by multiple narratives of affected citizens, passages from diaries and newspapers, as well as the lives of the two main scholars.Allena Tapia, San Francisco Book ReviewCrystal N.

Because it runs in the kernel, this extension code can access;hardware and other operating systems services with with almost no;overhead (basically a procedure call), and data can be passed by;reference, rather than copied. The SPIN kernel itself provides;a core set of interfaces and capabilities to basic resources. These;are used by collections of extensions to implement general system;services such as address spaces, IPC, threads, and networking. All;extension code (and most of the kernel) is written in the typesafe language Modula-3. The property of;typesafety prevents extensions from crashing the system by attempting;to manipulate arbitrary pieces of code or data.;SPIN runs on DEC Alpha workstations. We're using it to write;both specialized applications such as network video systems, as well;as for supporting general purpose UNIX programs.;You can connect to a machine;running SPIN with the in-kernel SPIN web server; here.; Quick Results;This structure allows programs to extend operating system services with;low overhead. For example, with SPIN running on a 133 MHz Alpha,;an application can handle and recover from a page fault in 29 microseconds.;It takes 22 microseconds to create a new thread of control, execute;it, terminate, and synchronize with its termination (fork/join). A protected;procedure call to another extension or to a kernel function takes .13;microseconds. A cross-machine RPC (application to application) over;ethernet takes under 600 microseconds; over ATM (on really old;adapters) it takes less than 450 microseconds. The same operations;under Mach or DEC UNIX take up to 30 times longer on the same;hardware. Time them yourself (or see our benchmarks page and save;yourself the effort).; Recent reports and papers;;Dynamic Binding for Extensible Operating Systems; An invocation mechanism which provides flexible, efficient, and;simple way of integrating extensions with an executing system.;Appeared in the 2nd OSDI.;;Extensibility, Safety and Performance in the SPIN Operating System; A design, implementation and performance paper.

Appeared in 1996; Usenix Winter Conference.;;Writing an Operating System Using Modula-3; Describes our experiences using Modula-3 to build a high; performance extensible system. Makes clear the distinction between a; language and its implementation.;;Language Support for Extensible Operating Systems; We've been pretty happy with M3, but we've had to deal with a few; shortcomings in order to use the language in a safe extensible; operating system. This paper describes how we've addressed those; shortcomings.;;Safe Dynamic Linking in an Extensible Operating System; Describes the dynamic linker we use to load code into the kernel.; Key point is the ability to create and manage linkable namespaces that; describe interfaces and collections of interfaces.;;Language and Runtime Support for Dynamic Interposition of System Code; Describes the kernel's internal communication and extension; facilities.

VarietyA searing and topical indictment of racial prejudice and hatred in America that makes for uneasy viewing and is not easily forgotten. . . . Vividly intelligent. Hollywood ReporterA striking work of storytelling. . . . One of the best movies about the civil rights era ever made. . . . This might be the only movie about race relations that adequately explainswith sympathythe root causes. The GuardianThrilling. . . . A portrait of one mans confrontation with a country that, murder by murder, as he once put it, devastated my universe. One of the best movies you are likely to see this year. The New York TimesJAMES BALDWIN (19241987) was a novelist, essayist, playwright, poet, social critic, and the author of more than twenty books. His first novel, Go Tell It on the Mountain, appeared in 1953 to excellent reviews, and his essay collections Notes of a Native Son and The Fire Next Time were bestsellers that made him an influential figure in the civil rights movement.Baldwinspent many years in France, where he moved to escape the racism and homophobia of theUnited States.He died in 1987.RAOUL PECK is a filmmaker acclaimed for his historical, political, and artistic work. Haitian-born, he grew up in Congo, France, Germany, and the United States. His body of work includes the films The Man by the Shore (Competition, Cannes 1993); Lumumba (Cannes 2000, HBO); and Sometimes in April (2005, HBO).

1-hop neighbor's text information: Active Markov Localization for Mobile Robots Localization is the problem of determining the position of a mobile robot from sensor data. Most existing localization approaches are passive, i.e., they do not exploit the opportunity to control the robot's effectors during localization. This paper proposes an active localization approach. The approach is based on Markov localization and provides rational criteria for (1) setting the robot's motion direction (exploration), and (2) determining the pointing direction of the sensors so as to most efficiently localize the robot. Furthermore, it is able to deal with noisy sensors and approximative world models. The appropriateness of our approach is demonstrated empirically using a mobile robot in a structured office environment. Key words: Robot Position Estimation, Autonomous Service Robots 1 Introduction To navigate reliably in indoor environments, a mobile robot must know where it is. Over the last few years, there has been a tremendous scientific interest in algorithms for estimating ...
Target text information: Optimal Camera Parameter Selection for State Estimation with Applications in Object Recognition In this paper we introduce a formalism for optimal camera parameter selection for iterative state estimation. We consider a framework based on Shannon 's information theory and select the camera parameters that maximize the mutual information, i.e. the information that the captured image conveys about the true state of the system. The technique explicitly takes into account the a priori probability governing the computation of the mutual information. Thus, a sequential decision process can be formed by treating the a posteriori probability at the current time step in the decision process as the a priori probability for the next time step. The convergence of the decision process can be proven.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Rule-Based Query Optimization, Revisited We present an overview and initial performance assessment of a rule-based query optimizer written in VenusDB. VenusDB is an active-database rule language embedded in C++. Following the developments in extensible database query optimizers, first in rule-based form followed by optimizers written as object-oriented programs, the VenusDB optimizer avails the advantages of both. To date, development of rule-based query optimizers have included the definition and implementation of custom rule languages. Thus, extensibility required detailed understanding and often further development of the underlying search mechanism of the rule system. Objectoriented query optimizers appear to have achieved their goals with respect to a clear organization and encapsulation of an optimizer's elements. They do not, however, provide for the concise, declarative expression of domain specific heuristics. Our experience demonstrates that a rule-based query optimizer developed in VenusDB can be well structured, ...
1-hop neighbor's text information: Monitoring Network Logs for Anomalous Activity We report on the progress of the VenusDB active-database system as driven by WatchDog, an application in network intrusion detection. The application is typical of a class of problems we coin monotonic log monitoring systems. These are systems where real-time data sources are logged to a database for transactional assurances and the database further provides services for decision support. Milestones comprise the successful layering of a Venus language executable with Oracle through the use of the Venus Abstract Machine Interface (AMI, a data abstraction interface) and Oracle's native trigger mechanism. The identification of monotonic-logging systems as an interesting application class enables us to limit coupling modes and to identify an effective layered architecture.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: "A brilliant piece of WW2 Soviet military history." (Books Monthly)“ … All in all, Valeriy Zamulin with this collection of essays and articles, two of which have been reprinted from the Journal of Slavic Military History, makes a new contribution to our knowledge and understanding of this pivotal, epochal battle of the Second World War...if I ever lose this book I would have to go out and buy another copy pronto. Five Mr Mushroom Heads for being educational as well as a great read. *****” (Army Rumour Service)“Strongly recommended both for the wargamer and the historian - and for the latter, an informative diagnosis of how Soviet history was written. Winner of the 'Miniature Wargames Recommends' award for October 2017.” (Miniature Wargames)“ … For those students of history that wish to delve deeper into some of the lesser known aspects of the battle, read on! Helion has maintained its extremely high quality of publications and Stuart Britton has once again translated and edited a deeply engaging and readable work.” (War History Online)“This is a book that in spite of delving deep into the weeds of battlefield leadership and combat operations is an enjoyable experience. Furthermore, the translator Stuart Britton has again done a solid job, and his efforts must be commended. Overall, “The Battle of Kursk” provides the kind of balanced and well-reasoned insight that Zamulin has come to be known for: all of which helps the reader to understand how and why events at Kursk unfolded as they did.” (Globe at War)Valeriy Nikolaevich Zamulin, a PhD candidate, is a leading Russian scholar of the Battle of Kursk. Since 1996, he has been working intensively in the most important Russian and foreign archival institutes - including the Central Archive of Russias Ministry of Defense and in the US National Archive - in order to gather and analyze documentary sources on the events in the Kursk Bulge in the summer of 1943. In 2002, he was the first to describe the course of the famous Prokhorovka tank clash on a documentary basis; to publish previously unknown figures on the Red Armys armor losses in the tank battle of 12 July 1943; and to give his assessment of the results, which differed from that previously accepted in Russia. He is the author of more than 60 scholarly works - including six books - in both the Russian and English languages, which have attracted great interest among scholars and history buffs. His most well-known work is Demolishing the Myth: The Tank Battle at Prokhorovka, Kursk, July 1943: An Operational Narrative (Helion, 2011). The results of V.N. Zamulins scholarly work are broadly used by military-historical authors, professors of State universities and Russias military museums, and several documentary films and television programs have been made with his participation. In 2010-2011, he was the academic consultant during the creation of the new military history museum in the legendary village of Ponyri, which in the Battle of Kursk, was the epicenter of the most savage and bloody fighting. At present, V.N. Zamulin is a member of the faculty of Kursk State University.Stuart Britton is a freelance translator who resides in Cedar Rapids, IA. He is responsible for a growing number of translated Russian military memoirs, battle histories and operational studies, which saw an explosion in Russia with the opening of secret military archives and the emergence of new Russian scholars who take a more objective look at the events and historical figures. Two works that received prizes or prominent acclaim were Valeriy Zamulins Demolishing a Myth: The Tank Battle at Prokhorovka, Kursk 1943 and Lev Lopukhovskys The Viazma Catastrophe, 1941: The Red Armys Disastrous Stand Against Operation Typhoon. Notable recent translations include Valeriy Zamulins The Battle of Kursk: Controversial and Neglected Aspects and Igor Sdvizhkovs Confronting Case Blue:Briansk Fronts Attempt to Derail the German Drive to the Caucasus, July 1942. Future translated publications include Nikolai Ovcharenkos analysis of the defense, occupation and liberation of Odessa, 1941-1944, and Zamulins detailed study of 7th Guards Armys role and performance in the Battle of Kursk against Army Detachment Kempf.; Title: The Battle of Kursk: Controversial and Neglected Aspects

Modelers will also enjoy the history, photography and color profiles to replicate the mounts of these aces. This title is recommended! Michael Benolkin, Cyber Modeler, cybermodeler.com (February 2010)This book covers it all, starting with its use by Finland during WW2, then moving on to Malaya, Burma and its final US use at Midway. Included in this are super period photos of the men and planes as well as the expected center section of full color profiles by Chris Davey and a couple of color photographs. There is also the usual table of pilots of various nations that achieved ace or near ace status flying the aircraft. In all, it makes for a great read and a super reference book. It is one that I have no trouble highly recommending to you. Scott Van Aken, Modeling Madness, modelingmadness.com (February 2010)Kari Stenman and Andrew Thomas' BREWSTER F2A BUFFALO ACES OF WORLD WAR 2 joins others in Osprey's 'Aircraft of the Aces' series I offering a comprehensive survey of the pilots and missions of the F2A aircraft ...Military libraries strong in equipment history will find this a welcome addition. The Midwest Book Review (April 2010)I found this book to be very interesting, and very comprehensive. As an example, in the Far East chapters, the authors were able to correlate Allied kills with Japanese pilots shot down. In addition, the pilot recounts of their actions were highly regarded, as we are close to having lost most those people to age related demise, so to work those into the 'story' of the Brewster was greatly appreciated. Kevin Iutzeler, IPMS (March 2010)Kari Stenman is undoubtedly the most knowledgeable authority on the Finnish Air Force in World War 2, having written over a dozen books on the subject since the late 1960s. He is the co-author of the successful Aircraft of the Aces volume on Finnish fighter pilots and runs his own publishing company in Finland.Andrew Thomas is one of Britain's most pre-eminent RAF researchers, having published numerous squadron histories.

Because it runs in the kernel, this extension code can access;hardware and other operating systems services with with almost no;overhead (basically a procedure call), and data can be passed by;reference, rather than copied. The SPIN kernel itself provides;a core set of interfaces and capabilities to basic resources. These;are used by collections of extensions to implement general system;services such as address spaces, IPC, threads, and networking. All;extension code (and most of the kernel) is written in the typesafe language Modula-3.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: The United States was a new republic in 1817. The generation of its original revolutionaries was fast dying; a second war with Great Britain had recently been settled; and expansionism was the mood of the day. The "children of the founders," as Carol Sheriff calls this first 19th-century American generation, sought to make its mark with engineering projects that would further national growth and prove to Europe that the new nation "played a leading role in God's plan to improve the earthly world." It did so in grand style with the Erie Canal, a huge waterway that linked Atlantic seaports with the Great Lakes. Sheriff's vigorous account of the canal's conception and building makes for an epic story and fascinating reading.The Artificial River is deeply researched, its arguments are both subtle and clear, and it is written with grace and an engagingly light touch. The book merits a wide readership. Paul Johnson, The Journal of American HistoryA beautifully written and unpretentious book that reveals how little historians have known about something they have written so much about: the Ere Canal.

Kirkus Reviews"The best kind of true crime book: a solid social history as well as a gripping narrative of murder and revenge." Publishers WeeklyAdvance praise for TONG WARSWith Tong Wars, Seligman pulls back the veil on thirty years of hidden history, revealing an amazing cast of gangsters, crooked businessmen and corrupt lawmen that gave rise to one of the most extraordinary eras in the underworld history of the United States. This is not only a Chinese story; it is an American story. The research is impeccable and the storytelling light on its feet. Seligman pierces the nexus of political, cultural and economic forces that are at the heart of organized crime, making this essential reading for crime buffs, historians and lovers of larger-than-life sagas about the American experience. You may think you know the full story of organized crime in America, but until you read this book you dont. --T.J. English, New York Times best-selling author of Where the Bodies Were Buried and Havana Nocturne "A great book! Scott Seligman is a riveting storyteller and he brings New York's Chinatown gang wars of the early twentieth century back to life with nuance and strikingly vivid detail." --Tyler Anbinder, Author of Five Points: The 19th Century New York City Neighborhood that Invented Tap Dance, Stole Elections, and Became the World's Most Notorious Slum New Yorks early Chinatown has been portrayed unfairly as an exaggerated Yellow Peril den of mysterious Orientals. By diligently and expertly trawling the evidence, however, Scott Seligman has unshrouded the mystery and offered up the gripping story of the men of Chinatowns underworld and their intramural battles over gambling, opium and other vices. In Tong Wars, he has rescued a tough and hardscrabble immigrant community from obscurity and offered a compelling new chapter in New Yorks great story. --Paul French, author of the New York Times bestselling Midnight in PekingTong Wars pulls no punches. Seligman brings the skills of a scholar and a detective to a story that plays out like a good police procedural novel. This is lively material, and Seligman deftly avoids the trap of simply cataloging the crimes of nameless, faceless denizens herded into an Asian American ghetto. His linguistic fluency and obvious comfort with primary Chinese language sources allow him to assess the myths and the brutal realities of the tong wars, and he has brought a daring and fresh approach to an important American story. Sue Lee, executive director, Chinese Historical Society of America Seligman masterfully examines the undercurrents of 1925 New York Chinatown in an engrossing depiction of a complex time. By shining a light on the power of association, the struggle for power, and the desire to survive, Seligman gives 'face' to the challenges of community-infighting, community-building, and community-identity in a racist and exclusionary America. --Nancy Yao Maasbach , President, Museum of Chinese in America Scott D. Seligman is a historian, retired corporate executive, and career China hand, and he holds degrees from Princeton and Harvard. Fluent in Mandarin and conversant in Cantonese, he lived in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China and has worked as a legislative assistant in Congress, a businessman in China, and a communications director of a Fortune 50 company.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve has written . . . with the intention of dispelling stereotypes and negative images of Native Americans. She has brought the richness of Native American culture and heritage to thousands. --National Humanities Council, 2000 National Humanities Medalist committee member"All tasks of womencooking, caring for children, tanning and sewingwere considered dignified and worthwhile. No work was looked upon as menial, consequently there were no menial workers."Luther Standing Bear, 1931
 
 Sioux women are the center of tribal life and the core of the tiospaye, the extended family. They maintain the values and traditions of Sioux culture, but their own stories and experiences often remain untold.
 
 Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve combed through the winter counts and oral records of her ancestors to discover their past. The result, Sioux Women: Traditionally Sacred, illuminates the struggles and joys of her grandmothers and other women who maintained tribal life as circumstances changed and outside cultures pushed for dominance. 
 
 Sneve's storytelling powers enliven her personal exploration of the roles of Sioux girls and women, making the book an accessible journey into modern American Indian society.

Based on extensive first-person interviews by an established expert on Plains Indian women, Walking in the Sacred Manner is a singular and authentic record of the participation of women in the sacred traditions of Northern Plains tribes, including Lakota, Cheyenne, Crow, and Assiniboine. Through interviews with holy women and the families of women healers, Mark St. Pierre and Tilda Long Soldier paint a rich and varied portrait of a society and its traditions. Stereotypical images of the Native American drop away as the voices, dreams, and experiences of these women (both healers and healed) present insight into a culture about which little is known. It is a journey into the past, an exploration of the present, and a view full of hope for the future.Mark St. Pierre is the author of Madonna Swan: A Lakota Woman's Story.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Stout, a professor of American religious history at Yale and coeditor of Dictionary of Christianity in America , has produced the first comprehensive biography of Whitefield (1714-1770) in many years. According to the author, the Anglican Calvinist p. 252 clergyman was not only America's earliest popular hero but also the first to unite the colonies in a sense of common identity. With his single-minded emphasis on regeneration, he introduced into religion the personal, privatistic piety that is today characteristic of the evangelical movement. As the title suggests, the key to Whitefield's success on both sides of the Atlantic is to be found in his theatricality. He quickly recognized the power of open-air field preaching. He was a shameless, egotistical self-promoter who, in a startling parallel with modern televangelists, consciously (albeit sincerely) employed histrionics "with all the dramatic artifice of a huckster," a traveling salesman for the New Birth. By the end, according to Stout, there was no private person, only the public preacher. This book reflects exhaustive research and offers a solid portrait of a person of pivotal importance to present-day evangelicalism.

All of our work shares;the following features:; We rely a combination of simple hardware support and operating; system modifications to monitor the dynamic behavior of applications.; These monitoring mechanisms incur a small overhead at runtime, but the; information they collect can be used to identify sources of memory; system delays such as cache misses and TLB misses.; By identifying and resolving these bottlenecks, we not only pay for; the overhead of the monitoring mechanisms, but also significantly; improve overall system performance.;In our most recent project, we explored policies that monitor;application memory reference patterns in order to identify and resolve;TLB performance problems. Poor TLB performance results when the TLB;is too small to cover the current application's working set. Several;modern architectures support superpages: pages whose size is a;multiple of the system's base page size. On such systems TLB;performance can be improved by using larger pages, but at the cost of;wasted memory due to internal fragmentation.;We simulated several policies that adapt the page size dynamically to;different regions of an application's address space, constructing;superpages by copying the component pages to a contiguous region of;memory. We developed a policy that monitors TLB misses, and balances;the potential benefit of having a superpage (a reduction in future TLB;misses) against the cost of constructing the superpage (an in-memory;copy). By constructing superpages only when and where TLB miss;patterns warrant, this policy attains the TLB performance of large;pages without their internal fragmentation.;For more details on this project, see our paper; Reducing TLB and Memory Overhead Using Online Superpage Promotion; (ISCA '95, to appear).;We're looking for someone to implement these algorithms -- this would make;a good quals or masters project.;Project Description.;People;Faculty:; Brian Bershad ([email protected]); Anna Karlin ([email protected]);Current Students:; Dennis Lee ([email protected]); Wayne Ohlrich ([email protected]); Ted Romer ([email protected]); Wayne Wong ([email protected]);Papers; Reducing TLB and Memory Overhead Using Online Superpage Promotion .; Romer, Ohlrich, Karlin, and Bershad.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: A canonist and judge of the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston's Metropolitan Tribunal, Foster presents in 101 clear questions and answers a basic primer on canon law and the mechanics of the church's court system in determining nullity of marriage. The principle of marriage as a free and public act of will made by parties consenting to the sacrament underlies church law. The often mysterious act of annulment is here demystified: the book illuminates the judicial process, beginning with the right to marry and ending with answers to such misconceptions as annulments being merely Catholic divorces or the idea that annulment wipes out a marriage. A standard text on the subject is Lawrence G. Wrenn's Annulments (Canon Law Society of America, 1996. 6th ed.), while a negative view of the process in the United States can be found in Robert Vasoli's What God Has Joined Together (LJ 2/15/98).

(David O'Brien, Holy Cross)An ambitious narrative history of American Catholicism, written with great historical range and attention to lived experience. It has profound contemporary resonance. This courageous book, unafraid to explore the story's darker moments, is destined to become the new standard text on American Catholicism. (Robert Orsi, Northwestern University)Solidly researched, engagingly told and insightfully interpreted, The Faithful is the first comprehensive history of lay Catholic prayer, politics and creative fidelity to church teaching, even in times of crisis such as the present. It could not come at a better time, as American Catholics struggle to reclaim a legacy of moral leadership and stalwart service to the nation. (R. Scott Appleby, University of Notre Dame)O'Toole surveys the lay Catholic experience in America with remarkable breadth and mastery. Lively and accessible, this book provides a valuable introduction to American Catholic history. (Leslie Tentler, Catholic University of America)O'Toole's history, focusing especially on personal narratives, makes for captivating reading...A history worth reading. (Kirkus Reviews 2008-02-15)For readers who are familiar with the church, the primary joy of this book will be found in checking their own experiences against those described by O'Toole. Still, the genial style of writing together with a plentiful amount of fascinating tidbits will keep all but the most jaded expert going. (Publishers Weekly 2008-02-11)O'Toole deftly tells the history of lay Catholics in America. Beginning with the priestless church of the Colonial period, he goes on to explore the church in the democratic republic, the immigrant church, the church of Catholic Action, the church of Vatican II, and the church in the 21st century. (Augustine J. Curley Library Journal 2008-03-15)Especially timely...This is not so much a history as, in this case, a penetrating, deftly worked summary of organizational and liturgical developments, formal and informal, in the American Catholic Church with emphasis on the role and influence of the laity. (Katherine A. Powers Boston Globe 2008-04-20)O'Toole crams an array of stories, profiles and statistics into his book that will make it a welcome addition to the shelf of anyone interested in the country's religious culture. His focus is on how the relationship between rank-and-file Catholics and the church has changed since the country's colonial era...O'Toole's prodigious research and engaging writing ensure that The Faithful: A History of Catholics in America will be the authoritative work on this subject for quite some time. (Claude R. Marx St. Petersburg Times 2008-04-25)An intriguing book, brimming with wisdom. It studies the evolution of U.S. Catholicism by dividing it into a half-dozen historic segments, from the Colonial "priestless church" to the muscular, immigrant-fed church a century ago, to the reformist, post-Vatican II church and beyond.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Text: English (translation) Original Language: LatinSt. Ignatius of Loyola (c. 1491-1556), founder of the revolutionary Jesuit Order, is one of the key figures in Christian history. These Personal Writings reveal the intense inwardness and devotional depths of the private man. His Reminiscences give a vivid account of his conversion and psychological turmoil, of his pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and of the years of study and controversy in Spain and Paris leading to the creation of the Society of Jesus. The immensely influential Spiritual Exercises offer guidelines for helping people discover God in their lives, coming to terms with their flaws, and making choices about their future. In the Spiritual Diary Ignatius shows himself drawing on these methods to work through a period of crisis. All these major works have been included in this volume, along with forty letters specially selected by the editors. Together with the Preface, Introduction to each text and detailed notes, they make one of the greatest of religious characters freshly available to modern readers.; Title: Personal Writings (Penguin Classics)

1-hop neighbor's text information: An Extended Entity-Relationship Approach to Data Management in Object-Oriented Systems Database programming in object-oriented systems can be supported by combining data modelling and programming technologies such that a data model supports the management of collections of objects where those objects are as specified by the underlying object-oriented programming language. This approach is the basis of the object data management services (ODMS) of the Comandos system. The ODMS data model provides constructs for the representation of both entities and their relationships and further supports rich classification structures. To complement the structural model, there is an operational model based on an algebra over collections of objects. 1 Introduction Object-oriented technologies are gaining in popularity as the basis for software development platforms. Meanwhile the family of entity-relationship data models retain their wide-spread use and popularity for conceptual modelling. How then can these two successful technologies be combined to support the development of ...
Target text information: OMS/Java: Model Extensibility of OODBMS for Advanced Application Domains . We showhow model extensibility of object-oriented data management systems can be achieved through the combination of a highlevel core object data model and an architecture designed with model extensibility in mind. The resulting system, OMS#Java, is both a general data management system and a framework for the developmentof advanced database application systems. All aspects of the core model # constructs, query language and constraints # can easily be generalised to support, for example, the management of temporal, spatial and versioned data. Speci#cally,we showhow the framework was used to extend the core system to a temporal object-oriented database management system. 1 Introduction Extensibility has often been considered a purely architectural issue in database management systems #DBMS#. In the 1980s, there was an increase in the various forms of DBMS that appeared --- many of whichwere tailored to speci#c application domains such as Geographical Information Systems or ...

This bookis extensively illustrated with drawings,maps, photographs and superb artworkcreated by Peter Dennis. Toy Soldier and Model Figure magazine...outlines the most famous of all Caesar's campaigns: a battle that has a good amount of archaeological study behind it. It documents the end of one of the most serious resistances to his conquests: one which would change the face of Celtic control forever, and it adds color maps and illustrations throughout. The result is a powerful pick recommended for any military history collection. James A.

Target text information: Description: The siege of Vienna is outlined in great detail, with maps, paintings and breakdowns of the various attacks mounted by both sides... The author is a serving army officer with a strong interest in military history, and this interest is reflected through the sources utilized in the book for both text and illustrations. I found this book particularly relevant in light of current events in the Middle East, and a good introduction to military history. It provides an overview that is both succinct and richly detailed. Renaissance Magazine (January 2009)In addition to the excellent and highly readable prose, there is a considerable amount of period artwork in the form of drawings and paintings to show what life was like and what some of the leading personalities looked like. This is ably enhanced by the superb illustrations of Peter Dennis, who has illustrated a large number of Osprey books depicting this era in history. Overall, a book I found to be quite engrossing and one that tells the story of the beginning of the eventual downfall of the Ottoman Empire.

I enjoyed reading it immensely, and recommend it unreservedly."Bernard Hamilton - JRAS, Series 3 - Volume 15/3 - 2005 "Professor Peter Jackson's breadth of reading is admirable and his exact notes are full of precious information about sources and secondary literature. His command of languages is breathtaking, including as it does Persian, Polish and Hungarian.""It is both a scholarly study and a profound and useful handbook for specialists, and, as such, this clearly written book will be read all over the world. It would also be suitable for a university course book"Antti Ruotsala - Institute of Historical Research review, April 2006In the thirteenth century, a dynamic and expansive Catholic Christendom, which had been free of major attack from its steppe frontier for over two hundred years, was confronted by a new and alien power in the shape of the vast empire of the advancing Mongols.Despite the devastation of Hungary and Poland in 1241-2 and ongoing hostilities in Eastern Europe, the advent of the Mongols appeared to offer the West new opportunities. Historically, the failure to exploit these opportunities by not allying with the Mongols in the Near East against the Muslims, or by not converting the Mongols to Christianity is usually blamed on the West. This book demonstrates that such possibilities were illusory.Written in a lively and accessible style, The Mongols and The West reassesses relations between the Catholic West and the Mongols from the first appearance of Chinggis Khans armies on Europes horizons in 1221 to the death of Temr or Tamerlane (1405) and the battle of Tannenberg (1410), across the spheres of diplomacy, missionary endeavour and trade. In particular, it:evaluates the impact of Mongol-Western contacts on the Wests knowledge of the world through to the voyages of Columbus and Cabotprovides a close study of relations with the Golden Horde in Eastern Europe down to the early 15th centuryinvestigates Western dealings with Temr, the last Mongol conqueror to figure as a potential ally against the Muslimsre-examines the failure of the Catholic missionaries to win over the Mongols to ChristianityPeter Jackson is Professor of Medieval History at Keele University.

1-hop neighbor's text information: An Introduction to Variational Methods for Graphical Methods . This paper presents a tutorial introduction to the use of variational methods for inference and learning in graphical models (Bayesian networks and Markov random fields). We present a number of examples of graphical models, including the QMR-DT database, the sigmoid belief network, the Boltzmann machine, and several variants of hidden Markov models, in which it is infeasible to run exact inference algorithms. We then introduce variational methods, which exploit laws of large numbers to transform the original graphical model into a simplified graphical model in which inference is efficient. Inference in the simpified model provides bounds on probabilities of interest in the original model. We describe a general framework for generating variational transformations based on convex duality. Finally we return to the examples and demonstrate how variational algorithms can be formulated in each case.
1-hop neighbor's text information: Inference and Learning in Hybrid Bayesian Networks We survey the literature on methods for inference and learning in Bayesian Networks composed of discrete and continuous nodes, in which the continuous nodes have a multivariate Gaussian distribution, whose mean and variance depends on the values of the discrete nodes. We also briefly consider hybrid Dynamic Bayesian Networks, an extension of switching Kalman filters. This report is meant to summarize what is known at a sufficient level of detail to enable someone to implement the algorithms, but without dwelling on formalities. 1 1 Introduction We discuss Bayesian networks (BNs [Jen96]) in which each node is either discrete or continuous, scalar or vector-valued, and in which the joint distribution over all the nodes is Conditional Gaussian (CG) [LW89, Lau92] i.e., for each instantiation i of the discrete nodes Y, the distribution over the continuous nodes X has the form f(xjY = i) = N (x; ~¯(i); \Sigma(i)), where N () represents a multivariate Gaussian (MVG) or Normal density.

Target text information: The Bayes Net Toolbox for MATLAB The Bayes Net Toolbox (BNT) is an open-source Matlab package for directed graphical models. BNT supports many kinds of nodes (probability distributions), exact and approximate inference, parameter and structure learning, and static and dynamic models. BNT is widely used in teaching and research: the web page has received over 28,000 hits since May 2000. In this paper, we discuss a broad spectrum of issues related to graphical models (directed and undirected), and describe, at a high-level, how BNT was designed to cope with them all. We also compare BNT to other software packages for graphical models, and to the nascent OpenBayes effort.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Supporting Conflict Resolution in Cooperative Design Systems Complex modern-day artifacts are designed cooperatively by groups of experts, each with their own areas of expertise. The interaction of such experts inevitably involves conflict. This paper presents an implemented computational model, based on studies of human cooperative design, for supporting the resolution of such conflicts. This model is based centrally on the insights that general conflict resolution expertise exists separately from domain-level design expertise, and that this expertise can be instantiated in the context of particular conflicts into specific advice for resolving those conflicts. Conflict resolution expertise consists of a taxonomy of design conflict classes in addition to associated general advice suitable for resolving conflicts in these classes. The abstract nature of conflict resolution expertise makes it applicable to a wide variety of design domains. This paper describes this conflict resolution model and provides examples of its operation from an implemente...
1-hop neighbor's text information: The Adaptive Agent Architecture: Achieving FaultTolerance Using Persistent Broker Teams Brokers are used in many multi-agent systems for locating agents, for routing and sharing information, for managing the system, and for legal purposes, as independent third parties. However, these multi-agent systems can be incapacitated and rendered non-functional when the brokers become inaccessible due to failures such as machine crashes, network breakdowns, and process failures that can occur in any distributed software system. We propose that the theory of teamwork can be used to create robust brokered architectures that can recover from broker failures, and we present the Adaptive Agent Architecture (AAA) to show the feasibility of this approach. The AAA brokers form a team with a joint commitment to serve any agent that registers with the broker team as long as the agent remains registered with the team. This commitment enables the brokers to substitute for each other when needed. A multiagent system based on the AAA can continue to work despite broker failures as long...

Target text information: Exception Handling in Agent Systems A critical challenge to creating effective agent-based systems is allowing them to operate effectively when the operating environment is complex, dynamic, and error-prone. In this paper we will review the limitations of current "agent-local" approaches to exception handling in agent systems, and propose an alternative approach based on a shared exception handling service that is "plugged", with little or no customization, into existing agent systems. This service can be viewed as a kind of "coordination doctor"; it knows about the different ways multi-agent systems can get "sick", actively looks system-wide for symptoms of such "illnesses", and prescribes specific interventions instantiated for this particular context from a body of general treatment procedures. Agents need only implement their normative behavior plus a minimal set of interfaces. We claim that this approach offers simplified agent development as well as more effective and easier to modify exception handling behavior. T...

Murtaza Hussain, journalist at The Intercept"[Islamic Exceptionalism] limns the Islamist mind in unnerving detail... Hamid is unafraid to talk about heaven, theodicy and divine justice.

Sobering, urgent reading for anyone who cares about the region, past and future. Noah Feldman, Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law, Harvard Law School and author of Cool War, Scorpions, and The Fall and Rise of the Islamic State"A smart and highly readable book by one of the leading experts on the topic. Hamid examines the defining problem in the modern Middle East: how to mix religion and politics. His heartfelt fear is that in the age of ISIS a solution wont come quickly because the features of a modern democratic state are often at odds with the path to God.David Gregory, former host of Meet the Press and author of Hows Your FaithHamid offers readers a vital road map to navigate the chaos and confusion that is the postArab-Spring Middle East. Reza Aslan, New York Times bestselling author of Zealot and No God but GodBeyond the zero-sum proposals of Islam or liberalism, Shadi Hamid boldly wrestles with how these two can negotiate the future of Muslim polities. Along the way, he educates us, challenging entrenched stereotypes and blind presumptions, especially the notion that the Muslim world must, can, or should go the way of the West. Islam is a constant not a variable. Islamic Exceptionalism suggests that this may be the beginning of wisdom for anyone wishing to understand, let alone shape, the political future of majority Muslim states.Sherman A.
