An earnest journey from heartache to heartthrob and all the emotions along the way; at once an old-fashioned love story and a cautionary tale of self-reinvention. In San Diego County, it hasn’t rained in 580 days. But for weatherman Andy Dunne, everything else is changing fast…Only a few weeks ago, he was a newly divorced, slightly overweight meteorologist for an obscure satellite radio station, hiding his secret love for a colleague, the beautiful—and very much married—Hillary Hsing. But nearly overnight, Andy has landed a new gig, flying a magic carpet in a bizarre live-action children’s TV show. So what is affable, basically decent Andy Dunne going to do now that he can do practically anything he wants? With a parade of hot moms begging for his autograph and a family that needs his help more than ever, Andy has a lot of choices. First, though, there’s this thing with Hillary, their heated text messages, a long-awaited forecast for rain – and a few other surprises he never saw coming… From the Trade Paperback edition.

The dataset used in this book consists of daily weather observations from various locations in Australia spanning a 10-year period. The target variable is "RainTomorrow," which predicts whether it will rain the following day. The dataset comprises 23 attributes, including: DATE: The date of observation.; LOCATION: The name of the weather station's location.; MINTEMP: The minimum temperature in degrees Celsius.; MAXTEMP: The maximum temperature in degrees Celsius.; RAINFALL: The amount of rainfall recorded for the day in mm.; EVAPORATION: Class A pan evaporation in mm for the 24 hours until 9 am.; SUNSHINE: The number of hours of bright sunshine in a day.; WINDGUSTDIR: The direction of the strongest wind gust in the 24 hours until midnight.; WINDGUSTSPEED: The speed of the strongest wind gust in km/h in the 24 hours until midnight.; WINDDIR9AM: The direction of the wind at 9 am. The project utilizes several machine learning models, including K-Nearest Neighbor, Random Forest, Naive Bayes, Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, Support Vector Machine, Adaboost, LGBM classifier, Gradient Boosting, and XGB classifier. Three feature scaling techniques, namely raw scaling, MinMax scaling, and standard scaling, are employed. These machine learning models are utilized to analyze the weather attributes and make predictions about the occurrence of rainfall. Each model has its strengths and may perform differently based on the characteristics of the dataset. Additionally, a GUI is developed using PyQt5 to visualize cross-validation scores, predicted values versus true values, confusion matrix, learning curves, decision boundaries, model performance, scalability, training loss, and training accuracy. These visualizations within the GUI provide a comprehensive understanding of the model's performance, learning behavior, decision-making boundaries, and the quality of its predictions. Users can leverage these insights to fine-tune the model and improve its accuracy and generalization capabilities. In addition, the GUI developed using PyQt5 also includes the capability to visualize features on a year-wise and month-wise basis. This functionality allows users to explore the variations and trends in different weather attributes across different years and months. With the year-wise and month-wise visualizations, users can gain insights into the temporal patterns and trends present in the weather data. It enables them to observe how specific attributes change over time and across different seasons, providing a deeper understanding of the weather patterns and their potential influence on rainfall occurrences.

The dream of automatic language translation is now closer thanks to recent advances in the techniques that underpin statistical machine translation. This class-tested textbook from an active researcher in the field, provides a clear and careful introduction to the latest methods and explains how to build machine translation systems for any two languages. It introduces the subject's building blocks from linguistics and probability, then covers the major models for machine translation: word-based, phrase-based, and tree-based, as well as machine translation evaluation, language modeling, discriminative training and advanced methods to integrate linguistic annotation. The book also reports the latest research, presents the major outstanding challenges, and enables novices as well as experienced researchers to make novel contributions to this exciting area. Ideal for students at undergraduate and graduate level, or for anyone interested in the latest developments in machine translation.

A detailed journal of local, national, and foreign news, agricultural activities, the weather, and family events, from an uncommon Southerner Most inhabitants of the Old South, especially the plain folk, devoted more time to leisurely activities—drinking, gambling, hunting, fishing, and just loafing—than did James Mallory, a workaholic agriculturalist, who experimented with new plants, orchards, and manures, as well as the latest farming equipment and techniques. A Whig and a Unionist, a temperance man and a peace lover, ambitious yet caring, business-minded and progressive, he supported railroad construction as well as formal education, even for girls. His cotton production—four bales per field hand in 1850, nearly twice the average for the best cotton lands in southern Alabama and Georgia--tells more about Mallory's steady work habits than about his class status. But his most obvious eccentricity—what gave him reason to be remembered—was that nearly every day from 1843 until his death in 1877, Mallory kept a detailed journal of local, national, and often foreign news, agricultural activities, the weather, and especially events involving his family, relatives, slaves, and neighbors in Talladega County, Alabama. Mallory's journal spans three major periods of the South's history--the boom years before the Civil War, the rise and collapse of the Confederacy, and the period of Reconstruction after the Civil War. He owned slaves and raised cotton, but Mallory was never more than a hardworking farmer, who described agriculture in poetical language as “the greatest [interest] of all.”

How do we make sense of life? How should we treat others? How should we reasonably be expected to be treated by others? When human life is at stake, are there reasonable principles we can rely on to guide our actions? How should our laws be framed to protect human life? What kind of society should be built? Many people rely on their religious beliefs to answer these questions. But not everyone accepts the same religious premises or recognizes the same spiritual authorities. Are there "public arguments"-reasons that can be given that do not presuppose agreement on religious grounds or common religious commitments-that can guide our thoughts and actions, as well as our laws and public policies? In Ten Universal Principles: A Brief Philosophy of the Life Issues, Jesuit Father Robert Spitzer sets out, in a brief, yet highly-readable and lucid style, ten basic principles that must govern the reasonable person's thinking and acting about life issues. A highly-regarded philosopher, Father Spitzer provides an intelligent outline for thinking and talking about human life. This book is a powerful tool for persuasively articulating and effectively inculturating a prolife philosophy.
