Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My son had the fortune of growing up in Italy as a military dependent. There, he learned the sport of soccer through relationships made with his Italian friends. His book, All-American, reveals how he used his knowledge of American sports on the soccer field in order to lead a team that would put together a streak of ten consecutive years of not losing a single regulation game by more than one goal! And now, this book called Soccer Lions of the Nosce Hostem contains the military intelligence and counterintelligence with regard to strategic and tactical deployment of member of his team. This is the second half of the story in explaining exactly how military philosophies based on actual events were used by his Grover Cleveland soccer team out of Ridgewood, New York City. But beware, the faint of heart. My son is now in possession of this legacy called Soccer Lions of the Nosce Hostem. With it, he can help you understand the crucial knowledge gained from knowing your opponent. We are the last of the lions. We are the ghost and the darkness. Lions do not speak, but they know each others thoughts, and these we will convey. My background with regard to the writing of his book can be traced back to the years of growing up in an environment rich in experience gained from participating in the three basic America sportsbaseball, basketball, and football. Currently, I reside in Long Island with my wife, Leila, and my dogs, Gizmo and Betsy. I have two sons, Ted and Chris, and two grandchildren, Christina and Teddy.

Book excerpt: David Lagercrantz's detective duo, Rekke and Vargas, returns in a new installment of the internationally best-selling series that began with Dark Music (“A classic mystery . . . One Holmes himself would have loved to solve” —The Independent). Dead women should not show up in photos fourteen years beyond the grave . . . But if anyone is likely to recognize Claire Lidman, it's her husband, Samuel. He brings the photo to Hans Rekke and Micaela Vargas. Their initial skepticism gives way to cautious belief—but where will this case lead them? Meanwhile, Rekke's daughter, Julia, has a new boyfriend she's determined to keep secret. When word gets out, Micaela's world collapses around her, and Rekke is forced to confront a nemesis from his youth. Plunging us back into the political upheaval and financial crisis of the 1990s, as the Iron Curtain is finally lifted, the second Rekke and Vargas investigation sees our heroes grapple with a fiendish case that affects them both in profoundly personal ways.

This book was released on 2004-08-23 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advancement of information and communication technologies (ICT) has enabled broad use of ICT and facilitated the use of ICT in the private and personal domain. ICT-related industries are directing their business targets to home applications. Among these applications, entertainment will differentiate ICT applications in the private and personal market from the of?ce. Comprehensive research and development on ICT - plications for entertainment will be different for the promotion of ICT use in the home and other places for leisure. So far engineering research and development on enterta- ment has never been really established in the academic communities. On the other hand entertainment-related industries such as the video and computer game industries have been growing rapidly in the last 10 years, and today the entertainment computing bu- ness outperforms the turnover of the movie industry. Entertainment robots are drawing theattentionofyoungpeople. TheeventcalledRoboCuphasbeenincreasingthenumber of participants year by year.

King Colgú of Cashel is shocked to learn that his loyal Chief Bishop and advisor has been murdered in the old enemy fortress of the Uí Fidgente. When word reaches Cashel that the culprit will be executed under new law, a larger conflict looms. Dispatched to investigate, Fidelma and her companion Eadulf discover that the man facing punishment is Gormán—commander of the King’s bodyguard. But Fidelma cannot believe Gormán would carry out such an act—and yet he was found locked in a chamber with the body, weapon in hand. The evidence is stacked against him. If they are to exonerate Gormán and keep the peace between the kingdoms, Fidelma and Eadulf must find the true culprit. As the threat of war looms, the date of execution drawers ever closer...

Download or read book Fundaments of Adaptive Personalisation written by Paul Ton de Vrieze and published by Paul de Vrieze. This book was released on 2006 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike humans, computers generally do not take their peers in communication into account. Adding to this the increasing complexity of information systems, the need for adaptive personalisation is there. In this thesis we look at adaptive systems from the perspective of interactive systems. As most systems are, or can be seen as, interactive systems this should pose no problem. In interactive systems users cause events. These events can be passed on to an adaptation system to maintain a user model. The events also cause the interactive system to react. These reactions may be parameterised by the user model. In this thesis the following research questions are addressed: * How can adaptive personalisation be integrated into user adaptive systems? * How can adaptive personalisation be evaluated? To answer these questions it is essential to first provide a model of user adaptive systems. We introduce the Generic Adaptivity Model (GAM). The GAM divides the system into four layers: the application layer, the interface layer, the reasoning layer and the user model layer. It is important to notice that the reasoning layer consists of two reasoning components: the push adaptation component and the pull adaptation component. The push adaptation component is responsible for transforming user events into user model updates. As such it maintains the user model and the reasoning happens when users perform events. It is not necessary that these updates have been completed for the application to react to the user events. The pull adaptation component is responsible to using the user model to answer questions about the user that influence the system reaction to the user. As such this is computed at the moment a reaction is required and is more time critical than push reasoning. The behaviour of an adaptation component largely standard. As such it makes sense to create an adaptation engine that can be used in conjunction with an adaptation description to implement the adaptation component. The adaptation description then describes, by means of a script language, the push and pull reasoning to be performed as well as the events and questions to be recognised. Related elements in an adaptation model can be grouped together into an adaptation element. Together all adaptation elements in an adaptation model form an adaptation graph. This dependency graph can be used to visualise an adaptation model. In evaluating adaptation models the final evaluation involves testing with users. There are however two other evaluation layers that are less costly. The first evaluation layer involves a rough evaluation on the kind of reasoning used (push or pull). The second layer performs a detailed structural analysis of an adaptation model. The evaluation layers work on a number of dimensions. These dimensions are: predictability, adaptability, supportability, control, speed, extensibility, model size, privacy, concurrency and prediction quality. In the structural evaluation level a number of indicators are used for each dimension. Looking at the GAM it has a number of benefits: * It will allow different applications to cooperatively maintain properties by using common names and merging adaptation models. * It has strong capabilities for ensuring privacy and user control over the user models. * By cooperative modelling more information be used to have more effective personalisations. * The model is very generic and does not prescribe reasoning models. As such it is broadly applicable. * The model coexists well with the evaluation framework and does not violate any dimension. To answer the question how to integrate adaptive personalisation we introduce a seven stage method for creating adaptation models. In the first step the application is analysed. In the second step possible personalisation opportunities are determined. In the third step questions about the user are found. In the fourth step the user properties are determined. The fifth step determines the events needed to maintain the user model. The sixth step combines the results and cleans out infeasible options. Finally the seventh step evaluates the options to select only the best opportunities for adaptive personalisation.
