In February 2012, in a Munich flat belonging to an elderly recluse, German customs authorities seized an astonishing hoard of more than 1,400 paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures. When Cornelius Gurlitt's trove became public in November 2013, it caused a worldwide media sensation. Catherine Hickley has delved into archives and conducted dozens of interviews to uncover the story behind the headlines. Her book illuminates a dark period of German history, untangling a web of deceit and silence that has prevented the heirs of Jewish collectors from recovering art stolen from their families more than seven decades ago by the Nazis. Hickley recounts the shady history of the Gurlitt hoard and brings its story right up to date, as 21st-century politicians and lawyers puzzle over the inadequacies of a legal framework that to this day falls short in securing justice for the heirs of those robbed by the Nazis.

A detailed and up-to-date introduction to machine learning, presented through the unifying lens of probabilistic modeling and Bayesian decision theory. This book offers a detailed and up-to-date introduction to machine learning (including deep learning) through the unifying lens of probabilistic modeling and Bayesian decision theory. The book covers mathematical background (including linear algebra and optimization), basic supervised learning (including linear and logistic regression and deep neural networks), as well as more advanced topics (including transfer learning and unsupervised learning). End-of-chapter exercises allow students to apply what they have learned, and an appendix covers notation. Probabilistic Machine Learning grew out of the author’s 2012 book, Machine Learning: A Probabilistic Perspective. More than just a simple update, this is a completely new book that reflects the dramatic developments in the field since 2012, most notably deep learning. In addition, the new book is accompanied by online Python code, using libraries such as scikit-learn, JAX, PyTorch, and Tensorflow, which can be used to reproduce nearly all the figures; this code can be run inside a web browser using cloud-based notebooks, and provides a practical complement to the theoretical topics discussed in the book. This introductory text will be followed by a sequel that covers more advanced topics, taking the same probabilistic approach.

It's almost Christmas, and Emery Hazard finds himself face to face with his own personal nightmare: going on a double date with his partner-and boyhood crush-John-Henry Somerset. Hazard brings his boyfriend; Somers brings his estranged wife. Things aren't going to end well. When a strange call interrupts dinner, however, Hazard and his partner become witnesses to a shooting. The victims: Somers's father, and the daughter of a high school friend. The crime is inexplicable. There is no apparent motive, no connection between the victims, and no explanation for how the shooter reached his targets. Determined to get answers, Hazard and Somers move forward with their investigation in spite of mounting pressure to stop. Their search for the truth draws them into a dark web of conspiracy and into an even darker tangle of twisted love and illicit desire. And as the two men come face to face with the passions and madness behind the crime, they must confront their own feelings for each other-and the hard truths that neither man is ready to accept.

Runner-up YA in the inaugural Diverse Book Awards 2020. 16-year-old Mehreen Miah's anxiety and depression, or 'Chaos', as she calls it, has taken over her life, to the point where she can't bear it any more. So she joins MementoMori, a website that matches people with partners and allocates them a date and method of death, 'the pact'. Mehreen is paired with Cara Saunders and Olivia Castleton, two strangers dealing with their own serious issues. As they secretly meet over the coming days, Mehreen develops a strong bond with Cara and Olivia, the only people who seem to understand what she's going through. But ironically, the thing that brought them together to commit suicide has also created a mutually supportive friendship that makes them realise that, with the right help, life is worth living. It's not long before all three want out of the pact. But in a terrifying twist of fate, the website won't let them stop, and an increasingly sinister game begins, with MementoMori playing the girls off against each other. A pact is a pact, after all. In this powerful debut written in three points of view, Yasmin Rahman has created a moving, poignant novel celebrating life.

Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2013 im Fachbereich BWL - Personal und Organisation, Note: 3,0, Bayerische Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit soll dem Leser einen Einblick in die verschiedenen Aufgabenfelder des Human Resource Managements liefern. Kernstück ist das Aufzeigen von Verbesserungspotenzialen, welche Mobile Devices dem Human Resource Management heute, aber auch in Zukunft, liefern und es noch attraktiver gestalten werden. Zunächst wird erläutert, was Mobile Devices von anderen Geräteklassen unterscheidet und welche Einsatzmöglichkeiten sie generell in Geschäftsprozessen bieten. Nach einer Einführung in die Welt des Human Resource Managements mit seinen zahlreichen Aufgabenfeldern und Funktionen, erfolgt eine Zusammenführung der Mobile Devices und möglichen Anwendungsszenarien für das Personalmanagement. Es werden zahlreiche positive Veränderungen aufgezeigt, aber auch Felder, in denen Mobile Devices mit ihrer bisherigen technischen Entwicklung an ihre Grenzen stoßen. Es handelt sich um ein sehr aktuelles Thema, welches stark vom Hype ¿Web 2.0¿ geprägt ist. Literatur hierfür liefern hauptsächlich die Tiefen des World Wide Web. Aber auch Artikel aus Fachzeitschriften, sowie einige Bücher, welche das Human Resource Management von heute darstellen und veranschaulichen, welche Umstrukturierung es in den letzten Jahrzehnten durchlebt hat. Es wird aufgezeigt, warum durch demographischen Wandel, der Druck auf das Human Re-source Management stetig zunimmt und welche Rolle der ¿War for Talents¿ in diesem Kontext spielt. This paper gives the reader an impression of the different scope of duties in Human Resource Management. Its centrepiece is on the one hand to reveal room for improvement and on the other hand to show which Mobile Devices serve the Human Resource Management today as well as in the future. In the first instance it is necessary to define the difference between Mobile Devices and other device types. Secondly, it needs to be clarified which possible field of application the Mobile Devices generally offer when it comes to business processes. After an introduction to the world of Human Resource Management and its various scope of duties and functions, a consolidation of Mobile Devices and possible application scenarios in Human Resource Management takes place. The paper then shows numerous positive changes achieved through the use of Mobile Devices, but also areas, where the Mobile Devices are still limited because of their up to now technical development. This scholarly piece discusses an up to date topic, which is strongly affected by the hype of 'Web 2.0'. [...]
