Three of them were ship's captain who piloted the Mayflower, the Godspeed and the Susan Constance, the ships which brought the colonists to Salem, Plymouth and Jamestown. Many of these same families married into the Native American tribes of the east coast. As these families moved west to Wisconsin, they married into other Native American tribes creating a mosaic of American ancestry.

Descended from Robert de Brus, 5th Lord of Annadale, the family married into the Sinclairs and Wemyss families, as well as many others. Wayne's genealogy travels throughout England, Wales, and Europe into Jerusalem and can be documented back to 352 BC. Enjoy the journey as you learn about some of the adventurous men and women who formed this unique family. The front cover is an artists conception of the colonial ships arriving at Jamestown where the Native Americans were already resident.

Teaching is hard. And in the last three years, for so many of us, the job has gotten so much harder. When we teach, a whole lot is expected of us-- but we expect a whole lot from ourselves, too. That's a lot of pressure! No wonder so many of us go into school every day giving the job everything we've got only to go home feeling demoralized, discouraged, and disgruntled -- feeling like no matter what we do, it will never be enough. That's the unbearable weight of great expectations right there! It's those unrealistic and untenable expectations that weigh so many of us down, pushing our toes to the precipice of that ever-looming burnout that has claimed so many of our most seasoned teachers. For us try-hards, just being "proficient" will never be sufficient -- but know this: there really is something we can do to make the vocation of teaching more sustainable, rewarding and enjoyable -- and it starts with us. Being excellent in the classroom starts with being excellent to ourselves. It's about finding balance with help from a teacher with 20 years of classroom experience. When Proficient Isn't Sufficient: A Try-Hard Teacher's Guide to Sustainable Teaching can show you how to find balance, not with theories, but with real-world approaches to making self-care a priority, cultivating relationships, and building stronger, more engaged learners by teaching through a more realistic lens. In the end, it's all about balance, and When Proficient Isn't Sufficient: A Try-Hard Teacher's Guide to Sustainable Teaching will help you find it.

The reader starts by learning the basics of AI and IoT devices and how to read IoT data from various sources and streams. Then we introduce various ways to implement AI with examples in TensorFlow, scikit learn, and Keras. The topics covered include machine learning, deep learning, genetic algorithms, reinforcement learning, and generative adversarial networks. We also show the reader how to implement AI using distributed technologies and on the cloud. Once the reader is familiar with AI techniques, then we introduce various techniques for different kinds of data generated and consumed by IoT devices, such as time series, images, audio, video, text, and speech. After explaining various AI techniques on various kinds of IoT data, finally, we share some case studies with the reader from the four major categories of IoT solutions: personal IoT, home IoT, industrial IoT, and smart city IoT.

He who beholds the natural world is bound to speak out and his speech is informed by what he beholds, it cannot be otherwise. Does he distinguish between the created world and the natural world? This is an interesting question. Birth is out of itself, creation out of another. And yet when we speak of the natural, born world we mean also the created world. An exciting connection is indicated by the English language between birth and berth, between being born and being borne. Not the sound but the letter distinguishes the two, remarkably in both cases. The mother gives birth to the child out of her womb and then gives it berth in her arms.

A curated collection of over 100 rare photographs, album covers, concert posters and paintings of Fela Anikulapo Kuti the Afrobeat pioneer, mystic and philosopher.

In her third collection, P J Kimber takes a sensitive but sideways look at everyday life in 21st century Britain. The natural world features largely as she considers the platypus, alpaca, Arctic wood frogs, ladybirds and many more. Current geo-political events come under scrutiny in poems that touch on Ukraine, earthquakes, toppled statues and the monarchy. Playful and intelligently written, using both traditional and modern verse forms, these poems are a challenge and a delight.

CSP-Rules is a generic pattern-based (or rule-based) solver of finite binary Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). This software is available on GitHub and it includes fully developed applications to various logic puzzles such as Sudoku, Latin Squares (allowing their Pandiagonal variant), Futoshiki, Kakuro, Numbrix, Hidato, Slitherlink and Map Colouring.CSP-Rules produces not only the solution to a CSP (as all the existing CSP solvers) but also a full "resolution path", i.e. a detailed justification for each step; this is a full mathematical proof of the solution. CSP-Rules and the present book are closely related to the author's book "Pattern Based Constraint Satisfaction and Logic Puzzles", where the fundamental theory underlying the approach is presented.This book includes an extended version of the original "Basic User Manual". But it also introduces new powerful generic rules (OR-chains) for taking advantage of almost-contradictory patterns. In particular, it applies these chains to the analysis of a newly discovered pattern (tridagon) and to the classification of a large database of extreme Sudoku puzzles that have it. It also adds the analyses of 630 impossible patterns and explains how to deal with such a large number of patterns. It shows that a handful of them provide almost the same resolution power as the full set. The long final two chapters are written as research notebooks on these very advanced topics.

Nisshin was from the generation of Nichiren disciples that had no direct connection with the founder or those who did. Only his teacher Nichiei was a disciple of someone who knew a person who actually met Nichiren. He was thus detached from any sort of direct relationship, yet in the XV century the presence of Nichiren was still very tangible. As other charismatic leaders in the Muromachi period, such as Sh¿jin'in Nichiry¿ and Genmy¿'in Nichij¿, Nisshin was greatly inspired by Nichiren's endeavors and those of other disciples who did not spare their efforts to emulate him. Nisshin tonsured within the Nakayama lineage and his formative years were indeed under the aegis of this tradition, where he became very inspired by the actions of J¿gy¿'in Nichiy¿, the third abbot of Hokeky¿-ji. Nichiei as well as the fourth and fifth abbots at Hokeky¿-ji have been very important for his upbringing as their own relationship to Nichiren was still concrete, albeit not direct. They had met a disciple of someone who actually knew Nichiren as it was the case of Nichiy¿, a disciple of Nichik¿ who trained at Minobu directly under Nichiren. The level of inspiration was still huge and even if the legends about Nisshin's ordeals were probably produced post-facto by his successors, he was definitively an iconic and charismatic preacher.

Soluble Fish (1924) by André Breton is a sophisticated poetic novel which is one of the first works of Surrealism, and with the Manifesto of Surrealism (1924), began the new literary movement which followed Paris Dada in the decade of the 1920s.This is the first translation of this important surrealist work since 1969. R J Dent has finally done the almost impossible and rendered Breton's elusive and complex prose into a fluid English that is actually a pleasure to read. Here we see a Breton very different from the dour caricature usually presented to English speaking readers. The text here is playful, warm and engaging.
