An illuminating overview of the murderously destructive clash that, arguably, paved the way for Germany's defeat in WW II. Drawing on archival material recently released by the former USSR and other sources, the ever-prolific Hoyt (Hirohito, p. 300, etc.) offers a wide-ranging, albeit tellingly detailed, rundown on a savage turning-point encounter. Hitler (whose initial thrust into the Soviet Union had stalled short of Moscow) appreciated the propaganda value of Stalingrad, an agricultural/industrial showcase strategically located in the bottleneck between the Don and Volga rivers. During the summer of 1942, he split his Eastern Front forces, dispatching some to the Caucasus oil fields; the rest were directed to take Stalingrad. Preceded by a shattering aerial/artillery bombardment, the Wehrmacht pushed the Red Army back inside the city limits. A state of siege was declared, and the invaders paid a ruinously high price for every inch of ground they gained in fierce street-fighting with armed factory workers as well as regular troops. Another cruel Russian winter arrived, and relief expeditions (belatedly approved by Hitler) failed. By year-end, the German 6th Army (whose ammunition and food supplies had long since been exhausted) was surrounded. Despite orders to the contrary, General von Paulus surrendered what was left of his starving, battle-weary command on January 31, 1943. Like many famous victories, Hoyt shows, the Stalingrad campaign was a costly encounter for both sides: The city was reduced to rubble, and as many as three million lives may have been lost. Hoyt provides a vivid reconstruction of the conflict, complete with big-picture perspectives on the secret war councils that precipitated events and anecdotal accounts of the ferocious small-unit actions that, collectively, determined the outcome. Military history of a very high caliber.

Description:

Making IT Count: from strategy to implementation’ focuses on the practical elements of delivering Information Technology strategy. Studies regularly show that over half of Information Technology strategies are never implemented, or are unsuccessful in delivering the desired results, and that a significant percentage of strategies implemented were never in the original plans. The linkage between strategy development and delivery needs a very clear focus; this is the key topic that the authors address.The book highlights eight major fallacies in managing IT, and eighteen better practices. It then details how to draw up strategy, instigate navigation techniques and make sourcing decisions. Change and delivery are a major focus, as is infrastructure development. Caselets and full length case studies of organizations such as General Electric, Siemens, Colonial Mutual, Charles Schwab, Macquarie Bank, ICI, United Airlines, Norwich Union, Walgreens and Dell and have been included to show how strategies have been successfully implemented and managed.Shows practitioners how to actually carry out, develop and implement an Information Technology strategy Contains “caselets” and full case studies of recent successful implementations of Information Technology strategies by organizationsAuthors combine a wealth of experience and expertise to provide practical guidance to professionals

Description:

Call it a control thing, but until recently–or, more specifically, until the availability of digital raw camera formats–you simply weren’t ready to make the move to digital photography. Raw formats, however, changed all of that by allowing you to retrieve images before any in-camera processing has been performed. Photoshop’s Adobe Camera Raw plug-in makes that process even easier by providing a standardized way of accessing and working with these uncompressed digital negatives in your favorite image-manipulation software. In the first volume devoted exclusively to the topic, best-selling author Bruce Fraser shows you how to take advantage of Adobe Camera Raw to set white balance, optimize contrast and saturation, handle noise, correct tint, and recover lost detail in images before converting them to another format. After learning about the raw formats themselves, you’ll discover hands-on techniques for exposing and shooting for digital raw, using the File Browser to preview images and automate tasks, and building a workflow around the digital raw process.

Data Mining in Finance: Advances in Relational and Hybrid Methods The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science
By Boris Kovalerchuk, Evgenii Vityaev

* Publisher: Springer
* Number Of Pages: 328
* Publication Date: 2000-03-01
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0792378040
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780792378044
* Binding: Hardcover

Description:
Data Mining in Finance presents a comprehensive overview of major algorithmic approaches to predictive data mining, including statistical, neural networks, ruled-based, decision-tree, and fuzzy-logic methods, and then examines the suitability of these approaches to financial data mining. The book focuses specifically on relational data mining (RDM), which is a learning method able to learn more expressive rules than other symbolic approaches. RDM is thus better suited for financial mining, because it is able to make greater use of underlying domain knowledge. Relational data mining also has a better ability to explain the discovered rules - an ability critical for avoiding spurious patterns which inevitably arise when the number of variables examined is very large. The earlier algorithms for relational data mining, also known as inductive logic programming (ILP), suffer from a relative computational inefficiency and have rather limited tools for processing numerical data.Data Mining in Finance introduces a new approach, combining relational data mining with the analysis of statistical significance of discovered rules. This reduces the search space and speeds up the algorithms. The book also presents interactive and fuzzy-logic tools for `mining’ the knowledge from the experts, further reducing the search space.Data Mining in Finance contains a number of practical examples of forecasting S&P 500, exchange rates, stock directions, and rating stocks for portfolio, allowing interested readers to start building their own models. This book is an excellent reference for researchers and professionals in the fields of artificial intelligence, machine learning, data mining, knowledge discovery, and applied mathematics.
