Jennifer armentrout wait for you series6/23/2023 Mind made up, I pivoted around and started to respond back to Jase when the double doors flung open like a tornado had ripped through the stairwell. Ollie had trashed our Xbox the weekend before, during a brutal showdown of Call of Duty.Īstronomy, or soccer on the Box? Not really a tough call. I watched the door to astronomy swing shut and then glanced back down at my phone. And I really didn’t need Jase’s taunting text messages about why scheduling classes before noon was unhealthy.Ĭonsidering I was going on-oh, I don’t know, two hours of sleep-and I could still taste the tequila and other things I really didn’t want to even think about from last night, I was currently a walking poster child for how not to have a healthy and happy first day of fall classes. Going to Ass-tronomy 101 was the last thing I wanted to be doing at nine in the damn morning, especially since all the class did was remind me of the first time I entered Professor Drage’s class and why I’d made a hasty, unplanned exit my freshman year.

Dick6/22/2023 After the first couple years of the war, the only human population that remained on Earth were isolated pockets of survivors and soldiers. The Americans kept production going on Earth, but this was prevented by a Soviet invasion. Washington retaliated and the leadership moved to the Moon. The Soviet Union began it with a massive nuclear strike. Hendricks considers the history of the war. Hendricks is bothered by the claws, despite wearing a protective wristband that identifies him as a UN soldier, but takes comfort that they are allowing them-finally-to win the war. Major Hendricks, who has been cooped up in the bunker for too long, decides to go to the meet. They requested a meeting at the decision level. The solider was a runner attempting to deliver a message to the forward command of the local UN forces.

Death's End by Liu Cixin6/22/2023 The opening volume, The Three-Body Problem, introduced the central premise of the series: the not-so-imminent arrival of a technically advanced alien race-the Trisolarians-who plan to abandon their dying home world and take control of Earth, a compatible planet. This remarkable, multi-award-winning trilogy stands as a high-water mark of Chinese science fiction, and it established its author, Cixin Liu, as a major player on the international stage. The publication of Death’s End brings to a close one of the grandest, most intellectually rigorous accomplishments of recent decades: Remembrance of Earth’s Past. Important Note: There is a limit of one copy per edition per person/household. Dust jacket and interior illustrations by Marc Simonetti. Much has been said of the failure of the American officials to see what was coming in Iran soon enough to begin corrective action however, I don't think much could have been done to stop the Revolution. There were times of joy, fun, stress, accomplishment and sadness during my years living in that beautiful Middle Eastern country. This is a book of stories and anecdotes about my life during the "Golden Years" of the reign of Mohamed Reza Shahanshah Aryamehr of Iran. Many generals and court officials spent much of their time junketing and enjoying all kinds of sports activities in which they indulged themselves to the fullest, in Tehran and costal resorts. An invitation to work for the Imperial Court as a horse trainer enabled me to see many of the royal family in informal moments it also gave me an entr e into high society, to watch the upper class Iranians at play. As the wife of an American businessman I spent the better part of the 1970's in Iran and saw the boom of the Shah's development and great vision for Iran to be recognized internationally, in every field it was to be Iran's Great Civilization. Red Scarf Girl by Ji-li Jiang6/22/2023 Ji-li’s grandfather, long dead, comes from a family of landlords, and this fact casts a long shadow on the family, limiting Ji-li’s opportunities and ability to achieve political and academic success at school. (The red scarf is worn by adherents to the Communist Party.) Then the Cultural Revolution begins, and Ji-li’s belief in herself and her family slowly erodes. When the book opens, Ji-li is a naïve and enthusiastic “red scarf girl,” convinced that she would always be as happy and successful as her name-“meaning happy and beautiful” (1)-as her experiences up until that point suggest. As the oldest child in her family, Ji-li must make crucial choices at a young age about whether to remain loyal to her family or bow to the ideological pressures of her community and country. The language instinct book6/21/2023 Note: This is not a book review but I feel young audiences in the field could be helped by re-discussing some of the important points that Prof. Small references have also been added to a few other books in between and afterwards wherever they seemed relevant. Steven Pinker’s language bible along-with a few recent developments. So below, I have tried to discuss some of the points of Prof. But wouldn’t it be interesting to know a bit of the real life counterpart? We ought to know how the most sophisticated neural network uses language after all! – This book should particularly be read by those interested in higher studies on using Deep Learning for NLP or theoretical NLP and more so those seeking to satiate their curiosity on how humans develop this exclusively-human innate ability of “language”. I’ve seen many Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Deep Learning engineers make excellent use of parse trees, morphological analysis and parse-rules for attempting to solve a lot of NLP tasks. The Language Instinct was written by Harvard Professor Steven Pinker in 1994.
