Artificial Intelligence (AI) migrates from academic centers and into the business world. Top-leading businesses are harnessing its power through thousands of industries: from banks analyzing multiple data points in seconds to detecting fraud to call the center implementation of chatbots to boost customer experiences.
A significant increase in AI and machine learning related software, frameworks, and applications were witnessed during 2018. These innovations have had an influence not only on the internet and the software industry but also on other verticals such as manufacturing, education, legal, automotive, and farming. Organizations such as Amazon, Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and IBM are investing in AI research and development that will help customers immensely by bringing AI closer.
A majority of people still equate artificial intelligence with science fiction dystopias, but that image is gradually fading as artificial intelligence evolves and becomes more prevalent in everyday life. Artificial intelligence has become a household name today.
Outbreaks of disease, much like wars, inevitably produce a series of public figures who serve as emblematic heroes or villains of the era and event, and in the case of Mary Mallon, now known around the world as “Typhoid Mary,” only a few deaths and a relatively small group of infections actually occurred before she was arrested. That her small but deadly outbreak incited such a firestorm among New York’s health agencies was certainly driven by the fact that the “ghetto disease” had suddenly appeared in New York City’s wealthy neighborhoods. A further difficulty lay in the late discovery of a few individuals who were not susceptible to the disease of typhoid itself, but who were nevertheless carriers. Invisible but contagious, these rare cases spread the pathogen both prolifically and unwittingly. As a natural social conflict rose, public debate came to the fore over the civil rights of those apprehended for carrying major diseases.
The phenomenon of a carrier immune to typhoid and other afflictions had been noted by the early 19th century and can be found in the journals of obscure researchers. However, even prominent medical practitioners were generally unaware of ever having observed such an individual, and the chances are slim that an uneducated domestic servant from a rural county in Ireland would encounter the research or possess the knowledge with which to identify the carrier. In fact, in a state of disbelief maintained throughout her adult life, Mallon defied the medical community’s depiction of her as infected at all. Originating in a culture where disease was still believed to be the result of noxious vapors, and where one was not sick unless she appeared so, Mallon viewed the entire investigation as pure persecution. Along the way, she did herself little good with an aggressive, explosive temper, and a general belligerence toward any idea of cooperation with medical personnel whom she took to be frauds.

In un mondo alluvionato da informazioni irrilevanti, la lucidità è potere. La censura non opera bloccando il flusso di informazioni, ma inondando le persone di disinformazione e distrazioni. ''21 lezioni per il XXI secolo'' si fa largo in queste acque torbide e affronta alcune delle questioni più urgenti dell'agenda globale contemporanea. Perché la democrazia liberale è in crisi? Dio è tornato? Sta per scoppiare una nuova guerra mondiale? Che cosa significa l'ascesa di Donald Trump? Che cosa si può fare per contrastare l'epidemia di notizie false? Quali civiltà domineranno il pianeta: l'Occidente, la Cina, l'islam? L'Europa deve tenere le porte aperte ai migranti? Il nazionalismo può risolvere i problemi causati dalla disuguaglianza e dai cambiamenti climatici? In che modo potremo difenderci dal terrorismo? Che cosa dobbiamo insegnare ai nostri figli? Miliardi di noi possono a stento permettersi il lusso di approfondire queste domande, perché siamo pressati da ben altre urgenze: lavorare, prenderci cura dei figli o dare assistenza ai genitori anziani. Purtroppo la storia non fa sconti. Se il futuro dell'umanità viene deciso in vostra assenza, poiché siete troppo occupati a dar da mangiare e a vestire i vostri figli, voi e loro ne subirete comunque le conseguenze. Certo è parecchio ingiusto; ma chi ha mai detto che la storia è giusta? Un libro non può dare alla gente né cibo né vestiti, ma può fare e offrire un po' di chiarezza, contribuendo ad appianare le differenze nel gioco globale. Se questo libro servirà ad aggiungere al dibattito sul futuro della nostra specie anche solo un ristretto gruppo di persone, allora avrà raggiunto il suo scopo. @ 2019 Giunti Editore S.p.A./Bompiani

Xanpan is… a cross between XP and Kanban… is an example of a roll-your-own method… is distilled from Allan Kelly’s own experiences running development teams and then helping multiple teams adopt Agile working methods and practices. Xanpan draws ideas from Kanban and Lean, XP and Scrum, product management and business analysis, and many other places.
Allan tells the Xanpan story through a series of boards which tell the story of different teams. In between he fills in the principles, practices and thinking which together constitutes Xanpan. Allan's key points include: handling planned and unplanned work in fixed length iterations, the importance of keeping quality high with technical practices, planning beyond the iteration and why deadlines are more important than estimates.
'Allan Kelly's Xanpan is now required reading for our team' Dom Davis, Head of IT, Virgin Wines.
'A well written and insightful reference material, packs a punch throughout!!!' Sunish Chabba
'If you're doing agile, lean, Kanban, xp a mix of any or just starting read it' Kev McCabe
'This book, very concise, is a goldmine. In a very accurate way, it will guide you through the implementation of the best from Kanban and Scrum.' Umiastowski Nicolas
'This book is an important contribution to the agile literature. It tackles the challenges that most teams face, head-on, by proposing alternatives that some might consider heretical. This sort of discussion is invaluable in the face of corporate certification of activities that promote blind faith and dogma rather than observation and critical thought.' Seb Rose
'An excellent book giving real examples and experiences of the adoption of lean and Kanban models within software development teams.' Belinda Waldock
'Thoroughly enjoyed XanPan. Allan challenges unfounded assumptions and really unearths a simplicity to writing about Agile and effective ways of working.' Amazon Reviewer
La psychothérapie et le développement personnel auraient-ils besoin d’un nouveau souffle ? Selon les dernières études en neurosciences, les connexions neurologiques déterminant notre façon d’être ne sont pas transformées par nos pensées mais plutôt par nos émotions et nos sensations. De plus, notre intelligence se construit jusqu’à l’âge d’un an, façonnée par nos premiers mouvements réflexes neuro-corporels. Pour Stéphane Drouet, l’heure est venue de repenser notre conception de l’intelligence et de son évolution à la lumière des travaux sur la neuro-plasticité cérébrale et des lois de la physique quantique qui déterminent comment notre mental bâtit notre réalité quotidienne. La révolution de l’intelligence humaine au sens quantique, et au sens des neurosciences, serait un grand tournant et l’avènement d’une psychothérapie refondée. Son grand artisan serait le coeur, chef d’orchestre des cerveaux du ventre, de la tête et de la peau. Cette intelligence nouvelle génération, l’auteur la nomme quantique, car elle se manifeste dans l’invisible et à distance. Elle redéfinit le mot aimer, et nous donne des perspectives fascinantes pour accélérer notre évolution, guérir de nos blessures d’enfant, et démultiplier notre potentiel. Dans cet ouvrage avant-gardiste et multidisciplinaire, l’auteur nous offre une voie inédite et prometteuse pour faire progresser l’humanité et prendre l’élan nécessaire à son grand saut évolutif. Une nouvelle humanité est en devenir, capable de penser à l’unisson avec son corps, avec son ventre, avec sa tête et avec son coeur.
Peut-être pensez-vous, que votre cerveau pilote votre vie et que votre corps n’est qu’un serviteur ? Cet ouvrage, fruit de plus de 10 ans d’expérience thérapeutique, de formation et de journalisme scientifique, nous explique qu’il n’en est rien à travers une fascinante mise à jour de nos croyances. S’appuyant sur les dernières études venues d’Outre-Atlantique,cet ouvrage nous révèle les secrets des « neurosciences du corps », il nous apprend comment nos fascias, ces membranes qui entourent nos organes et nos muscles, impriment nos sensations corporelles et déterminent nos émotions et notre santé. Il évoque égalementla découverte du nerf vague dorsal, comme origine majeure de nos blocages et de nos « figements » émotionnels quotidiens et nous propose un protocole de libération neurosensorielle, simple et accessible à pratiquer au quotidien. Nourri par des études avant-gardistes en physique quantique et en neurosciences, l’auteur révolutionne l’approche thérapeutique, et propose de dépasser l’étape du développement personnel par l’étape du dépouillement personnel, celle où notre coeur libéré du corps souffrant ne crée plus nos vies, mais se laisse créer par la vie.
Stéphane Drouet est auteur et thérapeute français bien connu internationalement. Passionné de physique quantique et de neurosciences il a su combiner savamment la somme de ses découvertes dans les conférences, des séminaires et une formation (Méthode PEACE).
A teenage boy lies on the pavement, bleeding from a stab wound; a distraught mum watches, in mute shock, as her daughter suffers a terrifying fatal asthma attack; a young girl is gang-raped and her stricken boyfriend takes an overdose; a disturbed young man flings himself in front of a speeding train at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve.
Few people can imagine living in a world where such situations are part of everyday life. Yet for veteran paramedic Lysa Walder, these and thousands of other emergency call outs are part of a day's work: scenes of tragedy, heroism loss and horror - but also stories of triumph and humour.
Lysa has been a paramedic for over twenty years, working for the London Ambulance service - the world's biggest and busiest free service - for much of that time. Here, she reveals what it's really like to work in a job that brings paramedic teams face-to-face with death - and destiny - every day.
Louis Bromfield was a World War I ambulance driver, a Paris expat, and a Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist as famous in the 1920s as Hemingway or Fitzgerald. But he cashed in his literary success to finance a wild agrarian dream in his native Ohio. The ideas he planted at his utopian experimental farm, Malabar, would inspire America's first generation of organic farmers and popularize the tenets of environmentalism years before Rachel Carson's Silent Spring.
A lanky Midwestern farm boy dressed up like a Left Bank bohemian, Bromfield stood out in literary Paris for his lavish hospitality and his green thumb. He built a magnificent garden outside the city where he entertained aristocrats, movie stars, flower breeders, and writers of all stripes. Millions savored his novels, which were turned into Broadway plays and Hollywood blockbusters, yet Bromfield's greatest passion was the soil. In 1938, Bromfield returned to Ohio to transform 600 badly eroded acres into a thriving cooperative farm, which became a mecca for agricultural pioneers and a country retreat for celebrities.
This sweeping biography unearths a lost icon of American culture, a fascinating, hilarious and unclassifiable character who-between writing and plowing-also dabbled in global politics and high society.
