From Behind Closed Doors, She Sees Everything !!
The room suddenly feels unbearably hot and stuffy. There’s a small furnace in the corner of the room, which I’m sure keeps it comfortable in the winter, but there’s nothing to cool it down in the warmer months. I’ll have to buy a fan to prop up in front of the window. Even though it’s way larger than my car, it’s still a very small space— I’m not surprised
From Behind Closed Doors, She Sees Everything !!
The room suddenly feels unbearably hot and stuffy. There’s a small furnace in the corner of the room, which I’m sure keeps it comfortable in the winter, but there’s nothing to cool it down in the warmer months. I’ll have to buy a fan to prop up in front of the window. Even though it’s way larger than my car, it’s still a very small space— I’m not surprised they used it as a storage closet. I look around, opening the drawers to check their size. There’s a little closet within the room, with just barely enough space to hang up my few dresses.
One thing is very clear, artificial intelligence (AI) is going to change our world forever. And the change is likely to be more profound than most people realize today. No matter what job you are in, no matter what business or industry you work in, AI is going to augment, if not completely transform, it. AI is giving machines the power to see, hear, taste, smell, touch, talk, walk, fly and learn. This in turn means businesses can develop completely new ways to
One thing is very clear, artificial intelligence (AI) is going to change our world forever. And the change is likely to be more profound than most people realize today. No matter what job you are in, no matter what business or industry you work in, AI is going to augment, if not completely transform, it. AI is giving machines the power to see, hear, taste, smell, touch, talk, walk, fly and learn. This in turn means businesses can develop completely new ways to interact with their customers, offer them much more intelligent products and service experiences, automate processes and boost business success.

But there was something not wholly honest in my mirth, for my conduct during the three preceding years had been reprehensible. I had used my grandfather shabbily. My parents died when I was a child, and he had cared for me as far back as my memory ran. He had suffered me to spend without restraint the fortune left by my father.
I am not writing an apology for my life, and I shall not attempt to extenuate my conduct in going abroad at the end of my course at Tech and, when I made Laurance Donovan’s acquaintance, in setting off with him on a career of adventure. I do not regret, though possibly it would be more to my credit if I did.

History is intimidating. While we can measure the interplay of molecules in a test tube and declare it chemistry, or observe events in parliament and declare it politics, history is everywhere and nowhere.

History is intimidating. While we can measure the interplay of molecules in a test tube and declare it chemistry, or observe events in parliament and declare it politics, history is everywhere and nowhere. It’s the shadow of today, picking up the pieces of the present and casting them into the infinite well of the past. As a result, reading history is intimidating. Where on earth do you start? The exact book choices don’t matter. The joy comes in charting one’s own voyage through history, with one book leading to the next like stepping stones across a pond. It’s not about ‘completing’ sections of history, but instead watching it unfold before you, and being amazed at the stranger-than-fiction stories that occur. This books delivers all the aspects, and is suitable for children, adults and a must for home library.

In this spectacle of flickering light and searing bits of concrete, the lady who can pass through walls shimmered at my side. Dressed in a dark blue gown, adorned with white frills around her neck and wrists, she seemed to melt into the night. The light of the sparks reflected in her dark eyes, adding an aura of mystery and intrigue to her ethereal form.

Oracle ASM 21c uses disk groups to store data files; an Oracle ASM disk group is a collection of disks that Oracle ASM manages as a unit. Within a disk group, Oracle ASM exposes a file system interface for Oracle Database files. The content of files that are stored in a disk group is evenly distributed to eliminate hot spots and to provide uniform performance across the disks. The performance is comparable to the performance of raw devices.

Oracle ASM 21c uses disk groups to store data files; an Oracle ASM disk group is a collection of disks that Oracle ASM manages as a unit. Within a disk group, Oracle ASM exposes a file system interface for Oracle Database files. The content of files that are stored in a disk group is evenly distributed to eliminate hot spots and to provide uniform performance across the disks. The performance is comparable to the performance of raw devices.
Unlike a file system driver failure, an Oracle ASM 21c instance failure does not require restarting the operating system. In an Oracle RAC environment, the Oracle ASM and database instances on the surviving nodes automatically recover from an Oracle ASM instance failure on a node.

a book about relational calculus, predicate logic, or set theory. This book is a SQL primer. It is meant to help you learn
Oracle SQL by yourself. It is ideal for self-study, but it can also be used as a guide for SQL workshops and instructor-led classroom training.
This is a practical book; therefore, you need access to an Oracle environment for hands-on exercises. All the software that you need to install Oracle Database on either Windows or Linux for learning purposes is available free of charge from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN). SQL statements discussed in this book are explained with concrete examples. We focus on the main points,
avoiding peripheral and arcane side-issues as much as possible. The examples are presented clearly in a listing format.

Along with GNU/Linux is other free and open source software that is used to build infrastructures for organizations. This book serves as a guide to engineers who want to use free and open source software to build their infrastructure.
There are a lot of very interesting and relevant topics that need to be visited when building an infrastructure. The topics I picked are based on my personal experience and on what I think is most relevant now and in the future. I dedicated entire chapters to topics that I believe deserve deeper discussion, such as Apache HTTP Server and kernel-based virtual machine (KVM). Although cloud computing is gaining in popularity, there are questions about infrastructure management that need to be answered, such as monitoring, logging, configuration management, and name service in the cloud.
In addition, if you want to be cloud agnostic, then you have to build services in the cloud that do not lock you in to a particular cloud provider. For instance, instead of using Google SQL, you may chose to use MariaDB installed on a virtual instance in Google Compute Engine.

Exadata was introduced in 2008, and, since October 2015, is available either as an on-premises product or via the Oracle Cloud as a subscription service, known as the Exadata Cloud Service. Oracle databases deployed in the Exadata Cloud Service are 100% compatible with databases deployed on Exadata on-premises, which enables customers to transition to the Oracle Cloud with no application changes. The Exadata Database Machine uses a scale-out architecture for both database servers and storage servers. As workloads grow, database CPUs, storage, and networking can be added to an Exadata Database Machine to scale without bottlenecks. Oracle Exadata is a modern architecture featuring scale-out industry-standard database servers, scale-out intelligent storage servers, and an extremely high speed internal RDMA Network Fabric that connects the database and storage servers. Exadata is available in two models: one based on two-socket compute servers and the other based on eight-socket compute servers. Moving forward I am going to give you a brief of Oracle 19c Exadata, followed by a number of Practical Hands-On labs.

Over the city of Thebes in the heart of Egypt lay an opaque, thick veil of mist. Darkness had spread in the early evening in the large complex of the Amun temple district.
Hetepaten, the high priest of Aten, came out of one of the magnificent mud-brick buildings and walked along the road to the east. He passed the holy pond, where the water in this early hour reflected the gloomy, unclear sky like a dark soup. He trotted the sandy path towards the Gempaaten, the newly built temple of Aten, which was located a little outside. Over his cloak shined a golden pendant in the shape of the ankh-sign on his chest.
The haze of the night would not disperse over Thebes that day. Junatonef, the son of Hetepaten, followed the same path as his father, walking the sandy way from the Amun temple complex towards the Gempaaten.

Intelligent digital assistants in form of voice transcription, machine translation,
conversational agents, and sentiment analysis are ubiquitously applied across various
domains to facilitate human-computer interactions. Chatbot's are becoming an integrated
part of any website; while virtual assistants are gaining more popularity in homes and office
spaces. Consequently, given numerous existing resources that contain these topics under the
notion of natural language processing (NLP), a contribution that covers a comprehensive
guide to the fundamentals and the state-of-the-art, and on top of that includes practical
examples with most popular frameworks and tool kits, is a rare find.
The leading authors' reputation in ML needs no further explanation. With both equipped
with academic education in world-class universities and many years of leadership in ML
development, Rajesh and Rajalingappa's qualification to lead the authorship of this book is
confirmed. I have come to know them not only as knowledgeable individuals but also as
passionate educators who convey the most sophisticated concepts in the simplest words.
Raja's passion to help start-ups get off the ground and to offer his expertise to young
companies with an open heart is admirable. I'm sure that, even as readers of this book,
you can approach him for questions and be sure of a convincing response.

GUI applications are nice and they do provide significant levels of hand holding, they’re cumbersome and inefficient. The command line is an essential part of the administrator experience—at least, if the administrator wants to go home at night and spend weekends somewhere other than work. Using the command line can often provide faster results with far less effort. In addition, the command line lends itself to easy automation, so you might not need to manually perform some tasks at all; you can let the computer do them while you have a cup of coffee and gab with a friend in the next cubicle. However, no one can memorize every command, or even a significant subset of them, so Microsoft Windows Server Command-Line Administration provides you with a quick reference for the common commands and provides examples of their use to help you avoid potential errors. In short, if you want to spend time doing something other than adding users to the server, you need this book! Work Faster and More Efficiently
Have you looked at the Administrative Tools folder of the Control Panel lately? It typically contains fourteen or more links to consoles that you use to administer Windows using a GUI. Finding the right console isn’t always straightforward. For example, most people would be tempted to look for hardware settings in System Configuration, but they really appear in Computer Management. Some of the consoles don’t even appear in the Administrative Tools folder.

Containers and Kubernetes containers facilitate cloud deployments and application development by enabling efficient versioning with improved security and portability.
With updated chapters on role-based access control, pod identity, storing secrets, and network security in AKS, this third edition begins by introducing you to containers, Kubernetes, and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and guides you through deploying an AKS cluster in different ways. You will then delve into the specifics of Kubernetes by deploying a sample guestbook application on AKS
and installing complex Kubernetes apps using Helm. With the help of real-world examples, you'll also get to grips with scaling your applications and clusters.
As you advance, you'll learn how to overcome common challenges in AKS and secure your applications with HTTPS. You will also learn how to secure your clusters and applications in a dedicated section on security. In the final section, you'll learn about advanced integrations, which give you the ability to create Azure databases and run serverless functions on AKS as well as the ability to integrate AKS with a continuous integration and continuous delivery pipeline using GitHub Actions.
By the end of this Kubernetes book, you will be proficient in deploying containerized workloads on Microsoft Azure with minimal management overhead.

This book takes a task-oriented approach to Hyper-V management, and as such, you will be able to immediately apply some of the knowledge gained in the day-to-day administration of Hyper-V.
While you may feel comfortable conducting some of these tasks. I have gone out of my way to instruct you as to which tasks require extra care and attention. When it comes to infrastructure management tasks and virtualization, there may be times when you are working with some very sensitive items, such as storage, and any misconfiguration and/ or incorrect setting could be potentially disastrous. I am not trying to scare you, just pointing out the actual pitfalls.
Is This Book for You?
In short, this text is designed to take a junior IT professional, who knows nothing about Hyper-V or virtualization, and bring him or her to competency.
In a few more words, one constant in the world of IT is that things are always changing. Businesses must stay competitive, which means a need for more efficiency. Many are turning to virtualization as one of these efficiencies.

Too often the best consultants are too busy fielding insane customer requests with equally insane timelines, which would bring 99 percent of other consultants to their knees, and making them a reality.

They do this by working late into the night, testing, testing, testing, and finding creative ways to ultimately satisfy their customers. They don’t have the bandwidth to stop in the middle of all this and post responses to forums, turn what they learned into helpful blog posts, and definitely not to create comprehensive books. But in that elite 1 percent there are some that still rise above the rest and somehow find the time to contribute to the greater community.
This is the first book on Oracle GoldenGate to walk the reader through tuning the capture and apply (extract and replicate) components that are now integrated into the Oracle database. It’s the first such book to walk you through the new drag-and-drop and wizard-based configuration utility called Oracle GoldenGate Studio. When you consider one of Sachin’s previous books was about Oracle Enterprise Manager, it’s no surprise that he also does an excellent job covering how to monitor Oracle GoldenGate using several methods.
Written in plain English, Oracle GoldenGate for DBAs has something for new and seasoned users alike. There are a lot of exciting enhancements we have planned for Oracle GoldenGate and as it evolves over time I’ll be looking forward to the updated versions of this book.

Hyper-V, Microsoft's virtualization technology, has matured into an enterprise-ready platform. Unfortunately, if you are new to virtualization or have an extensive background in VMware, for example, often you find yourself stranded in a pool of unfamiliar terms and concepts or even get lost in the combination of Hyper-V with System Center, without even talking about the questions that might arise around adopting cloud technology.

Hyper-V, Microsoft's virtualization technology, has matured into an enterprise-ready platform. Unfortunately, if you are new to virtualization or have an extensive background in VMware, for example, often you find yourself stranded in a pool of unfamiliar terms and concepts or even get lost in the combination of Hyper-V with System Center, without even talking about the questions that might arise around adopting cloud technology. The good news is that these questions are common, both in Server Message Blocks (SMBs) and in enterprise environments.
By writing this book, I hope you as a reader can gather together information on some of the most common stumbling blocks to help you chart a clear path to a successful deployment, whether you are using Hyper-V in a standalone or in a clustered setup, integrating with System Center or not, or optimizing toward a private or a hybrid cloud architecture.
Besides all the other interesting features of this latest version of Microsoft's server operating system, one of the key reasons to actually migrate is the updated virtualization component, Hyper-V.
Loneliness is a unique and multidimensional phenomenon that represents the extent to which an individual's perceived social network is either smaller or less satisfying than they desire. This book presents current research in the study of loneliness including such topics as loneliness in childhood and consequences for psychosocial adjustment and academic performance; the elderly and loneliness; loneliness in sexual offenders; the influence of age and gender on
Loneliness is a unique and multidimensional phenomenon that represents the extent to which an individual's perceived social network is either smaller or less satisfying than they desire. This book presents current research in the study of loneliness including such topics as loneliness in childhood and consequences for psychosocial adjustment and academic performance; the elderly and loneliness; loneliness in sexual offenders; the influence of age and gender on the experience of loneliness; the loneliness of undergraduate students studying abroad; gay, lesbian and bisexual adolescents and loneliness; and population density and loneliness.
The police closed off the road in both directions and rerouted the traffic. Portable spot lamps flooded the scene and the fire crew quickly established that there was one male in the vehicle, then set about cutting him free.

The police closed off the road in both directions and rerouted the traffic. Portable spot lamps flooded the scene and the fire crew quickly established that there was one male in the vehicle, then set about cutting him free. Sparks flew as they worked and the man and the woman who’d stopped to help told the officers what they knew, which wasn’t a lot as neither had actually witnessed the accident. However, the woman did tell them about the driver who’d overtaken her on a blind bend, and the police officer included it in his notes. Once she and the man had given their statements and contact details, they were allowed to leave.
This book is structured with a specific focus on addressing these two issues. The first section (the first three chapters) explains the business aspect of APIs to developers and provides a quick-start guide to API standards implementation, with code samples. The second section (chapters 4 through 6) provides a more technical, practical approach to API gateways, API security, and serverless APIs using tools from Azure and AWS.

This book is structured with a specific focus on addressing these two issues. The first section (the first three chapters) explains the business aspect of APIs to developers and provides a quick-start guide to API standards implementation, with code samples. The second section (chapters 4 through 6) provides a more technical, practical approach to API gateways, API security, and serverless APIs using tools from Azure and AWS. The last chapter offers a holistic approach to common design and development use cases of APIs, including an exploration of contract-first design.
The technical implementations are illustrated with figures and screenshots, which allow the reader to easily follow the processes described in the book.
Information technology (IT) is integrated into the fabric of a business, and without business there is no requirement for IT.

Information technology (IT) is integrated into the fabric of a business, and without business there is no requirement for IT. In fact, there should not be IT processes without mirror business processes; the processes are interwoven to support the solid financial growth and sustainability of the business. The same is true for security beyond the traditional IT focus. Cybersecurity specifically pushes security beyond IT processes, procedures, governance, infrastructure design, and authentication. Cybersecurity protection, intrusion detection, intrusion prevention, and cyber-incident response all must also be integrated into the business fabric. This book is a result of multiple customers requesting guidance, best practices for cybersecurity as they move into cloud. Security focused businesses have invested in on-premises, layered security to protect their networks, systems, users, and customer data, and now as these businesses move into the cloud, they need to follow a hybrid, layered security approach. This book answers questions such as the: What security options are available in the cloud for virtual networks, and how can they be audited? As you move virtual machines into cloud virtual subnets, how do you enable intrusion detection? Do you need to ask the board of directors for a budget increase to hire cybersecurity experts? IT has invested heavily in security standards for the business in a local datacenter; can we extend those standards and knowledge base to the cloud?

My frantic search for a “post-graduation plan” led me to law school mostly because other graduate programs required you to know something about your field of study to enroll; law schools, it seemed, didn’t require you to know anything. At Harvard, I could study law while pursuing a graduate degree in public policy at the Kennedy School of Government, which appealed to me. I was uncertain about what I wanted to do with my life, but I knew it would have something to do with the lives of the poor, America’s history of racial inequality, and the struggle to be equitable and fair with one another. It would have something to do with the things I’d already seen in life so far and wondered about, but I couldn’t really put it together in a way that made a career path clear.

I couldn’t transform developers into architects in four days, the thrust of this book is to help people think like architects.
The book you have in your hands now has a mission. Cloud computing as an approach to IT infrastructure is still emerging, and thus the technical details are still in flux—but the architectural principles of the cloud are now falling into place. But only by thinking like an architect will you be able to take advantage of the full power of the cloud.
Architects are in a unique position in the IT shop, because they have one foot in the business and the other squarely ensconced in the technology. They must understand the nuts and bolts of what works and what doesn’t without falling victim to the techie tunnel vision that inflicts so many IT people. But they must also live and breathe the business: its strategy, its goals, and most importantly, its problems.
Architecting the Cloud connects these dots. I have intentionally avoided product- or vendor-specific details, focusing instead on the challenges that architects, as well as stakeholders in the architecture, should address—in other words, connecting the business problem with the appropriate solution. A truism to be sure, but easier said than done in the cloud.
Why horror? Isn‘t there already enough fear in the world?
Yes there is, and that‘s exactly why horror entertainment is so important.
Some people will try focus on ―positive emotions‖ such as love and joy while repressing their fear, anger, jealousy, and other ―negative‖ emotions.
I think this is an extremely dangerous thing to do, because pretending they don‘t exist doesn‘t make the other emotions go away

Yes there is, and that‘s exactly why horror entertainment is so important.
Some people will try focus on ―positive emotions‖ such as love and joy while repressing their fear, anger, jealousy, and other ―negative‖ emotions.
I think this is an extremely dangerous thing to do, because pretending they don‘t exist doesn‘t make the other emotions go away. It only inhibits our ability to understand and control them
– and when we aren‘t controlling them, they‘re controlling us.
Without control, we are easy victims for any politician to use our fears to manipulate our vote. We are helpless to the holy man who uses our fear of the afterlife to control our values. We are even inept to confess to the girl we love, or follow our dreams, or anything else where fear stands as a boundary between us and our goal.
Over the last ten years, tens of thousands of Pakistani civilians and security forces—25,051 by one count—have been killed in terrorist attacks conducted by the Pakistan Taliban and other militant groups.1 Is terrorism in Pakistan a manifestation of a society moving toward radicalism or one victimized by terrorist groups created by geopolitics?

Over the last ten years, tens of thousands of Pakistani civilians and security forces—25,051 by one count—have been killed in terrorist attacks conducted by the Pakistan Taliban and other militant groups.1 Is terrorism in Pakistan a manifestation of a society moving toward radicalism or one victimized by terrorist groups created by geopolitics? Are ordinary Pakistanis extremists?
In the West, Pakistan is characterized as a villainous, failing state that created a terrorism monster and does not do enough to fight it; it is, thus, blamed for the hazards its citizens face as well as the danger it poses to the rest of the world.2 Its citizens are thought to be irrational fundamentalists. This book takes issue with that characterization. Pakistan has its demons and more, no doubt, but it has come to be defined exclusively in terms of its present struggle with terror, by the jihadist training camps in Pakistan, and the links of some Pakistanis to attacks in the West. Its story is far more complex.
Pakistani society is multi-dimensional, but the world is most likely to see images of anti-American mobs or crowds who show up at rallies held by Islamist fundamentalists.
Unfortunately, the recent beheading of a schoolteacher near Paris was not only followed by a less solid and clear wave of condemnations by the Muslim organizations' leaders, but was marked by an unprecedent coming-out of the radical islamist voices, embodied by some preachers, informal leaders, parents or pupils who did not hesitate to call for the pursuit of the punishment of those who "insult the Prophet" and to distribute the horrific images of the teacher'
Unfortunately, the recent beheading of a schoolteacher near Paris was not only followed by a less solid and clear wave of condemnations by the Muslim organizations' leaders, but was marked by an unprecedent coming-out of the radical islamist voices, embodied by some preachers, informal leaders, parents or pupils who did not hesitate to call for the pursuit of the punishment of those who "insult the Prophet" and to distribute the horrific images of the teacher's head. The knife attack in the southern French city of Nice on Thursday that killed three people and injured many more has left the country, which has barely recovered from the beheading of a schoolteacher in a Paris suburb by an 18-year-old Chechen two weeks ago, in shock and pain. The suspected Nice attacker, a 21-year-old Tunisian who is now in hospital with injuries, killed two, including an elderly woman, in a church; the other escaped to a pub nearby but later died of injuries.
This book is your practical guide towards novice to master in machine learning with Python in six steps.

This book is your practical guide towards novice to master in machine learning with Python in six steps. The six steps path has been designed based on the “Six degrees of separation” theory that states that everyone and everything is a maximum of six steps away. Note that the theory deals with the quality of connections, rather than their existence. So a great effort has been taken to design eminent, yet simple six steps covering fundamentals to advanced topics gradually that will help a beginner walk his way from no or least knowledge of machine learning in Python to all the way to becoming a master practitioner. This book is also helpful for current Machine Learning practitioners to learn the advanced topics such as Hyperparameter tuning, various ensemble techniques, Natural Language Processing (NLP), deep learning, and the basics of reinforcement learning
Each topic has two parts: the first part will cover the theoretical concepts and the second part will cover practical implementation with different Python packages. The traditional approach of math to machine learning, that is, learning all the mathematics then understanding how to implement it to solve problems needs a great deal of time/effort, which has proven to be not efficient for working professionals looking to switch careers.
Hence the focus in this book has been more on simplification, such that the theory/math behind algorithms have been covered only to the extent required to get you started.

Within each chapter I’ll share a story that is relevant to the topic of discus- sion. These stories are either a personal experience that I have been involved in during my career or one of a peer or colleague. The names of companies, individuals, and products will be masked by fictitious names. Storytelling helps readers relate better to technical topics because we all have similar experiences throughout our careers. As with any other shift in technology, there is a lot of hype and many myths and misperceptions about cloud computing that lead to resistance or difficulties for some organizations in adopting the cloud. I have observed the same behavior numerous times in my career with the adoption of the Internet, service-oriented architecture (SOA), agile methodologies, and others. I have been fortunate enough to have multiple opportunities to be a pioneer for several of these technology shifts. I will use some stories from the past to show the parallels between the resistance to cloud computing and the resistance to the predecessor technologies.
Five years ago, I was trying to analyze in several workshop papers, interviews and a book chapter the main actors' discursive strategies occasioned by the Charlie Hebdo attacks. Back then, the quasi-unanimity of the French Muslim organizations' representatives took a clear stance against radical islamist terrorism and there was almost no sympathy expressed in favour of the perpetrators.

Those who came from a pure development background (without sysadmin experience) would often build an infrastructure that left out many of the things sysadmins would take for granted, such as monitoring and logging. The lack of monitoring and logging would then make it difficult to track down issues, leading to more downtime than was necessary.

The lack of monitoring and logging would then make it difficult to track down issues, leading to more downtime than was necessary.
At the other end of the spectrum were those with a lot of sysadmin experience, but less or no development experience. This group was more likely to treat AWS as nothing more than a virtual machine hosting provider, simply using EC2 to run a fleet of static instances without taking advantage of any high-availability features such as Auto Scaling and Elastic Load Balancers. This is akin to buying a Ferrari and then using it only to buy groceries once per week: fun, but not cost-effective.

Cloud computing has been a buzzword in the IT industry for some time, and there are several cloud providers on the market. Microsoft Azure is Microsoft's cloud offering. Microsoft Azure has evolved very quickly over the last few years and now offers a comprehensive set of services, including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). In this book, we will start by explaining what is meant by some cloud terminology. We will take a look at how we can deploy both Windows/Linux-based virtual machines in Azure. We will take a look at how to set up a virtual network, so that our cloud- based resources can communicate with each other. Much like an on-premises server, our cloud-based servers will need to be monitored for any potential issues, and we will take a look at how we can design cloud systems that are both highly available and fault-tolerant.
All the scenarios are implement & deployment mode only.. Step by Step
You can imagine how varied and interesting the cuisine can be with this amazing mix. In fact, there is a saying that the simple lentil dish dal, which is commonly eaten across India, changes in texture, taste, and flavor every 200 meters. That is the beauty of Indian regional food. And that is the fantastic journey I intend to take you on through the pages of this book.

You can imagine how varied and interesting the cuisine can be with this amazing mix. In fact, there is a saying that the simple lentil dish dal, which is commonly eaten across India, changes in texture, taste, and flavor every 200 meters. That is the beauty of Indian regional food. And that is the fantastic journey I intend to take you on through the pages of this book.
My connection with Indian spices and flavors helps me use my knowledge in the modern kitchen. Without sacrificing authenticity, I use updated cooking methods with modern appliances to create delicious Indian food. Come with me on a journey of nostalgia, discovery, and surprises that only a cuisine as diverse as India’s can take you on. If you are an Indian living outside the country, many of these recipes will bring back memories of your own childhood or meals cooked at festivals. If you’re new to Indian food, this will be like a storybook discovery of a cuisine that is hearty and diverse.
A common misconception is that Indian food is difficult to make, based on the sheer number of ingredients needed for a recipe. But Indians eat home- cooked food three meals a day, so it really can’t be that difficult. To help you become more confident, this book is full of helpful tips on stocking an Indian pantry, handy time-savers, and of course, simple, authentic recipes that will make you fall in love with India’s foods as passionately as I have.

Each of us has the power to choose a positive attitude over a negative one. If you want an attitude that works for you, that improves the quality of your life and enables you to accom- plish your dreams, you have to work at it. You can’t just sit around and wait for a positive attitude to come over you. In this book, I will provide you with tools to tune and take control of your attitude, even in the most challenging times.
The material in this book is not merely motivational. It offers you step-by-step instructions and examples of how others—including myself—have benefited by taking respon- sibility for their attitudes. You have made an investment in yourself—an investment that will pay dividends when—and only when—you apply the principles and take action. The fundamental principle is that attitude is all it takes to walk those nine yards. You’ll learn that no matter how old you are, what your position or station in life, your gender, or your marital status, a positive attitude can make an incredible difference.
In the chapters that follow, I will give you the tools you need for an attitude tune-up. I’m going to provide you with ten steps for turning attitude into action.
Your life will be more enjoyable. Of course, having better relationships and a better career will go a long way toward this, but when you have a positive attitude, your outlook on life will be so much better that the person you live with all the time—you—will find that there is much more inner peace and satisfaction with life than you have ever experienced before.

Your life will be more enjoyable. Of course, having better relationships and a better career will go a long way toward this, but when you have a positive attitude, your outlook on life will be so much better that the person you live with all the time—you—will find that there is much more inner peace and satisfaction with life than you have ever experienced before.
So, as you hold this book in your hands, you are begin- ning a journey that has the potential to greatly improve your relationships, your work, and your self-satisfaction. Isn’t that amazing?
But you will need to apply the truth in Attitude the whole nine yards. Just reading it will not change your life. But as you apply it, as you begin to renew your mind and begin to dis- play that attitude to the world around you, then your life will change for the better.
Attitude is a choice. Each and every day that we arise we have a choice on how we will view and interact with the world around us.

Cloud adoption in the database world is growing very rapidly. Various research and studies forecast the DBaaS and cloud database service market to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 65% by 2019.
Currently available books cover either cloud computing or database administration, but not both. This book bridges the gap. The book is divided into two parts. Part I covers the cloud computing concepts and database as a service overview, whereas Part II covers everything that is required for you to become a cloud DBA.
Part II starts from your first database provisioning in the cloud and then moves to setting up Oracle RAC and DataGuard in the cloud. The chapter on database migration to the cloud gives you in-depth details around how to plan and execute DB migration. The chapter on DB security touches on the key security aspects that you should take care for your cloud-based database. The backup and recovery chapter covers various
backup and recovery options in Oracle cloud and AWS. The manage and monitor chapter covers details on all the tools that are useful for performing day-to-day monitoring and administration. Part II covers DB administration aspects from the two most prominent cloud providers—Oracle Cloud and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
This book has the right balance of theory and practical examples, along with the best practices in each given area.

I had seen a press release announcing a new web-based storage service called Simple Storage Service (S3), and I remember thinking how strange it seemed that Amazon would be offering such a service. Nevertheless, I signed up for an account and started reading the documentation.
I was blown away by S3. The simple, affordable pricing model. The elegant REST API. The virtually unlimited storage capacity. Amazing. The only thing that could make this any better, I thought to myself, would be a Python interface! That day I started coding what would become the boto library, which is what we will use in this book to interface with Amazon Web Services.
I still believe that Python is a great language for interacting with AWS and other cloud services. The fantastic standard libraries that come with all Python installations (Bat- teries Included!), the vast collection of modules available for quick download via the Python Cheese Shop, and the ability to work interactively with cloud services, trying requests and immediately seeing the results, combine to provide a powerful and fun way to develop applications and control your cloud-based infrastructure.
I've always found that the best way to learn something new is to see lots of examples. That’s what this little book will focus on: solutions to many common problems related to EC2 and S3 (using Python and boto). I hope you find it useful!

Welcome to the world of network programming with Python. Python is a
full-featured object-oriented programming language with a standard library that includes everything needed to rapidly build powerful network applications. In addition, it has a multitude of third-party libraries and packages that extend Python to every sphere of network programming. Combined with the fun of using Python, with this book, we hope to get you started on your journey so that you master these tools and produce some great networking code.
In this book, we are squarely targeting Python 3. Although Python 3 is still establishing itself as the successor to Python 2, version 3 is the future of the language, and we want to demonstrate that it is ready for network programming prime time.
It offers many improvements over the previous version, many of which improve the network programming experience, with enhanced standard library modules and new additions.
We hope you enjoy this introduction to network programming with Python.
Let's start with a visualization exercise: Imagine you've just walked into your local Yoga studio to take a class. What sort of things will you see? Probably a few spare rolled up mats, some blocks, straps, cushions, and blankets. A spray bottle for wiping down the mats after use. Daily yoga practice helps you stay healthy, more productive, calm and happy all day. Doing these practices at home not only keep you happy but your family members too can feel the po

The biggest misconception about sex is that it's dirty, forbidden, or wrong. In truth, sex is sacred. Not in a religious way.
What if sex, experienced as sacred, could open a field of intimacy in your relationship with your lover that you never knew existed? Recognize sex as part of this spirituality. Feeling guilty or embarrassed? Please don't. Take turns anointing each other with essential oil of sandalwood and rose. Place the oil on each other's crown, third eye, heart space, and genitals.
Tantric sex’s slow rhythm helps a man and a woman to establish a mind and body link in order to produce exceptional orgasms. Make sure that the windows and doors are closed, after that turn off the lights. Turn your room or place to a pleasant place by adding some flowers and candles that has aromatic scent, relaxing slow music, dim lights.If you feel like your sexual life is ending, aside from practicing tantra as a couple, you can also do it alone with tantra masturbation. Usually needs about 3 to 4 orgasms before she gets satisfied sexually. It is similar to the way a lollipop is eaten. You don’t chew it you lick it and suck it. Imagine it as a long meaty lollipop and do as you would do to a lollipop.

It was heavenly while it lasted. Our mistake was in thinking it would last forever. But that obsession was not meant to last forever.
In the textbook of marriage, it is but the introduction. The heart of the book is rational, volitional love. That is the kind of love to which the sages have always called us. It is intentional. That is good news to the married couple who have lost all of their “in love” feelings.

मीडिया द्वारा एक नाराजगी है कि "हिंदू कट्टरपंथी" चाहते हैं भारत को एक हिंदू राष्ट्र बनाने और धार्मिक अल्पसंख्यकों को बाहर करने के लिए। विडंबना यह है कि हिंदू ’एक भौगोलिक शब्द है, जिसकी जड़ भारतीय के समान है - जो लोग सिंधु या हिमालय और हिंद महासागर से परे रहते थे। तो क्यों भारतीय जो हाल ही में इस्लाम या ईसाई धर्म में परिवर्तित हुए हैं, उन्हें अपने पूर्वजों की उपलब्धियों पर गर्व नहीं होना चाहिए? भारत सभ्यता का पालना था, ज्ञान का केंद्र और पृथ्वी का सबसे अमीर देश। यह अपनी बुद्धिमानी के लिए जाना जाता था।
इस पुस्तक में,मैं आपको भारतीय इतिहास की कुछ सबसे अधिक आंखे खोलने वाली घटनाओं के माध्यम से हिन्दू धर्म के विषय मे गलत धारणाओं के प्रति ध्यान आकर्षित करूंगा। भारत के अलावा, हम पाकिस्तान, बांग्लादेश में हिंदुओं पर होने वाले अत्याचार, धार्मिक परिवर्तन के बारे में भी चर्चा करेंगे। अवैध प्रवास पर भी चर्चा होगी।

क्या ईसाई और मुस्लिम राष्ट्र ठीक और हिंदू राष्ट्र ठीक नहीं हैं?
एक हिंदू राष्ट्र को गलत तरीके से 'उदार' मीडिया द्वारा सबसे खराब संभावित परिदृश्य के रूप में पेश किया जाता है।
<क्या ईसाई और मुस्लिम राष्ट्र ठीक और हिंदू राष्ट्र ठीक नहीं हैं?
एक हिंदू राष्ट्र को गलत तरीके से 'उदार' मीडिया द्वारा सबसे खराब संभावित परिदृश्य के रूप में पेश किया जाता है।
फिर भी, वही मीडिया प्रतिक्रिया नहीं करता है जब अमेरिका या अन्य पश्चिमी देशों को ईसाई राष्ट्र के रूप में संदर्भित किया जाता है। न ही वे कई मुस्लिम राष्ट्रों के बारे में उत्तेजित होते हैं; उन लोगों के बारे में भी नहीं जिनके पास अभी भी कठोर ईश निंदा कानून हैं।
ये ठीक क्यों हैं, और एक हिंदू राष्ट्र ठीक नहीं है? वे स्पष्ट नहीं करते; वे सिर्फ यह कहते हैं कि अल्पसंख्यक (मुस्लिम और ईसाई पढ़ें) हिंदू राष्ट्र में पीड़ित होंगे।

Sand mining has tremendous impacts on biodiversity. But the harsh reality of such impacts are often cloaked in bare-boned catch-all phrases such as 'human impacts on the environment'. What does this mean in the context of indiscriminate sand mining?
