Three casinos. Three bodies. Three days. Crack the case with the Naturals series by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Inheritance Games. After a string of brutal murders in Las Vegas, Cassie Hobbes and the Naturals are called in to investigate. But even with the team's unique profiling talents, these murders seem baffling: unlike many serial killers, this one uses different methods every time. All of the victims were killed in public, yet the killer does not show up on any security feed. And each victim has a string of numbers tattooed on their wrist. Hidden in the numbers is a code-and the closer the Naturals come to unraveling the mystery, the more perilous the case becomes.Meanwhile, Cassie is dealing with an equally dangerous and much more painful mystery. For the first time in years, there's been a break in her mother's case. As personal issues and tensions between the team mount, Cassie and the Naturals will be faced with impossible odds-and imposs

內容簡介:‧精簡的設定和範例介紹，快速掌握Apache NiFi核心精髓‧整合當今主流的資料工程架構與相關服務說明‧掌握資料流設計的特性與重點，踏出資料工程第一步本書介紹Apache NiFi這套服務工具，讀者可以於該服務設計自動化處理資料流(Data Pipeline)。所有的設計與設定都是以No Code與WEB UI方式處理，具備強大的操作互動性和易用性。另外支援大多數的資料載體，如：Relational Database、Document DB、Column-Based、DataWarehouse 、Message Queue等對接處理，並支援目前主流的三大雲平台-AWS(Amazon Web Service)、GCP(Google Cloud Platform)和Microsoft Azure，涵蓋大部分企業使用到的應用與服務，都可透過Apache NiFi做到一站式整合與資料流設計，確保資料處理邏輯以及流入和流出的方向和目的地。同時在面對大量資料處理時也可以運用高擴展的特性來平行執行，也能更細節地去追蹤資料的變化與狀態，最後做到完整的流程與錯誤控制以避免產生資料遺漏的窘境。本書會介紹當今在資料工程常見的架構，接著介紹Apache NiFi的架構與元件、建置流程與設定、操作方式、與外部服務的整合和應用、資料追蹤等各個資料工程常見的應用處理。最後會提及資料工程領域的發展和重點分析，讓對於這塊領域較陌生或有興趣的讀者們，除了可以在本書學到Apache NiFi的核心價值之外，也能意識到該領域的後續發展與重點，給予讀者具體方向進行未來的發展和準備。

Dazzled by the twilight of 17th-century painter Aert van der Neer’s Moonlit Landscape with a Road beside a Canal (1645–1650), contemporary Spanish artist Alberto Reguera created twenty three paintings as an homage to the celebrated artist of the Dutch Golden Age.This new series of paintings examines and connects directly to Van der Neer’s masterpiece, and the important painterly achievements of the Dutch painter’s generation.The exhibition and accompanying publication is the second collaboration between the University Museum and Art Gallery (UMAG) and Alberto Reguera. While the first exhibition Blue Expansive Landscape (2015) was notable for the display of the painter’s two- and three-dimensional works, and his innovative ways of painting beyond the canvas, Homage to Aert van der Neer is a similarly complex endeavour that has been achieved through a successful partnership with UMAG, the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza and the artist.當代西班牙藝術家 Alberto Reguera 艾拔圖‧雷古拉 傾慕於十七世紀荷蘭畫家 Aert v

歐盟一般資料保護規則（General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR）取代過往95指令，其目的主要係強化大數據時代下數據主體權利，賦予其知情權、接近使用權、更正權、被遺忘權、限制處理權、資料可攜權、拒絕權與自動化決策限制權等八項權利，並課與數據控管者告知、採取安全措施、通知與遵法等義務。GDPR為目前世界最為嚴苛的數據保護法並設有廣泛的域外效力，在GDPR生效後世界各國數據保護相關法律規範亦隨之革新，我國為取得歐盟適足性（adequacy decision）認定，個人資料保護法以GDPR為修法方向。我國個資法以課與數據控管者義務為主，就數據主體權利幾乎僅規定於第3條與第11條，且未將各項權利可行使情形明確區分。本文就GDPR與個資法之數據主體權利、數據控管者義務與跨境傳輸等規範進行比較後，針對個資法不足之處提出修法建議。隨著科技發展，世界各國愈來愈重視個人資料保護，大數據帶來數據紅利的同時亦侵害數據主體，故本文主張透過建構完整的數據賦權制度使數據主體避免侵害或受到侵害時得以主張權利。除比較GDPR規定外，將《歐洲數據戰略》（European Data Strategy）、《資料治理規則》（Data Governance Act）草案及《電子隱私條例》（ePrivacy Regulation, ePR）草案重點納入討論並羅列可資參考部分，本文認為數據權財產化與衍生數據保護乃為將來數據保護規範趨勢，故亦探討數據權性質之轉變、數據財產化權利以及衍生數據之權利，提出完整建構數據賦權制度之建議，以完善數據保護規範。

It’s about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people.Money—investing, personal finance, and business decisions—is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together.In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life’s most important topics.

Pearl develops Freudian psychoanalytic theory in a complex account of the ways in which grief is expressed and worked out in literature, showing how key texts from the AIDS crisis by authors such as Edmund White, Michael Cunningham, Eve Sedgwick – and also, later, the archives of The ACT UP Oral History Project - lie both within the tradition of gay writing and a postmodernist poetics. The book demonstrates how literary texts both expose and construct personal identity, how they expose and produc

Computer graphics is a vast field that is becoming larger every day. It is impossible to cover every topic of interest, even within a specialization such as CG rendering. For many years, Noriko Kurachi has reported on the latest developments for Japanese readers in her monthly column for CG World. Being something of a pioneer herself, she selected topics that represented original and promising new directions for research. Many of these novel ideas are the topics covered in The Magic of Computer Graphics.Starting from the basic behavior of light, the first section of the book introduces the most useful techniques for global and local illumination using geometric descriptions of an environment. The second section goes on to describe image-based techniques that rely on captured data to do their magic. In the final section, the author looks at the synthesis of these two complementary approaches and what they mean for the future of computer graphics.
