The science of ecology as a faculty of study deals extensively with myriad aspects related to fundamental elements existing in the universe. Along with various aspects, manages cooperation between singular living beings and their surroundings, which incorporates connections with both nonspecific and individuals from different species. The interaction amplifies proportion and ratio of enquiry into relationship among various elements existing in environment and their interlinking; the aspect has proved to be beneficial in terms of internalizing characteristic features and delineate explicit patterns of ecology

By the end of the twentieth century, Freemasonry had acquired an unsavoury reputation as a secretive network of wealthy men looking out for each others’ interests. The popular view is of an organisation that, if not actually corrupt, is certainly viewed with deep mistrust by the press and wider society. Yet, as this book makes clear, this view contrasts sharply with the situation at the beginning of the century when the public’s perception of Freemasonry in Britain was much more benevolent, with numerous establishment figures (including monarchs, government ministers, archbishops and civic worthies) enthusiastically recommending Freemasonry as the key to model citizenship. Focusing particularly on the role of the press, this book investigates the transformation of the image of Freemasonry in Britain from respectability to suspicion. It describes how the media projected a positive message of the organisation for almost forty years, based on a mass of news emanating from the organisation itself, before a change in public regard occurred during the later twentieth-century. This change in the public mood, the book argues, was due primarily to Masonic withdrawal from the public sphere and a disengagement with the press. Through an examination of the subject of Freemasonry and the British press, a number of related social trends are addressed, including the decline of deference, the erosion of privacy, greater competition in the media, the emergence of more aggressive and investigative journalism, the consequences of media isolation and the rise of professional Public Relations. The book also illuminates the organisation’s collisions with nationalism, communism, and state welfare provision. As such, the study is illuminating not only for students of Freemasonry, but those with an interest in the wider social history of modern Britain.

Fifteen years of intense government harassment leads a psychiatrist, single mother and social activist to close her 25-year Seattle practice to begin a new, safe life in New Zealand. What starts as phone harassment, stalking and illegal break-ins quickly progresses to six attempts on her life and an affair with an undercover agent who railroads her into a psychiatric hospital. The Most Revolutionary Act gives readers a crash course in the mind-blowing criminal activities US intelligence is notorious for -illegal narcotics trafficking, arms dealing, money laundering and covert assassinations of both foreign and domestic leaders and activists. The US government has been taken over, and it's time to out these shadowy power brokers and hold them accountable.

Conspiracy theories are everywhere in post-war American culture. From postmodern novels to The X-Files and from gangsta rap to feminist polemic, there is a widespread suspicion that sinister forces are conspiring to take control of our national destiny, our minds, and even our bodies. Conspiracy explanations can no longer be dismissed as the paranoid delusions of far-right crackpots. Indeed, they have become a necessary response to a risky and increasingly globalized world, in which everything is connected but nothing adds up. Peter Knight provides an engaging and cogent analysis of the development of conspiracy culture, from 1960s' countercultural suspicions about the authorities to the 1990s, where a paranoid attitude is both routine and ironic. Conspiracy Culture analyses conspiracy narratives about familiar topics like the Kennedy assassination, alien abduction, body horror, AIDS, crack cocaine, the New World Order, as well as more unusual ones like the conspiracies of patriarchy and white supremacy. Conspiracy Culture shows how Americans have come to distrust not only the narratives of the authorities, but even the authority of narrative itself to explain What Is Really Going On. From the complexities of Thomas Pynchon's novels to the endless mysteries of The X-Files, Knight argues that contemporary conspiracy culture is marked by an infinite regress of suspicion. Trust no one, because we have met the enemy and it is us.

A computer is a piece of hardware that aids in the processing of information by carrying out preprogrammed instructions. One definition of an algorithm is "a procedure that is well-defined and has a finite description for realizing an information-processing task." There is always the possibility of converting an information processing job into a physical one. Working with an idealized computer model may be highly beneficial and is often even necessary when developing sophisticated algorithms and protocols for a variety of information processing jobs. Nevertheless, it is essential to keep in mind the connection between computing and physics whenever one is researching the actual constraints imposed by a piece of computer equipment, particularly when doing so for some kind of useful purpose. The idealized computing model fails to account for the fact that actual computing equipment is embedded in a broader and often more complex physical environment than is shown in the model. Quantum information processing refers to the application of what we learn about the physical world from quantum theory to the objective of carrying out activities that were previously regarded to be either impossible or infeasible. This type of processing was thought to be either impossible or infeasible. Because of this, things that were before thought to be impossible or impossible to achieve are now within reach. Quantum computers are defined as any computers that have the capability of processing quantum information. In this book, we investigate how quantum computers can be used to execute specific tasks more quickly than conventional computers can, as well as how they may be used safely even when errors are likely in the work they are performing. In addition, we analyze the benefits that quantum computers have over conventional computers in terms of the ability to resolve certain categories of problems. The next chapters will expand upon the basis provided in this first chapter by presenting more complex subjects in computation theory and quantum physics. This will be done by building upon the foundation laid in this chapter.

The aim of this book is to take the reader from the basic knowledge of computing essentials for programming in Python to a level of proficiency that will enable you to write a full-fledged desktop application with a graphical user interface. In a single book, the reader will get essentially the material of three books in a consistent structure: an introduction to the basic concepts and language building blocks, the application of the commonly used standard library modules, and the development of graphical user interfaces. The book starts from scratch, and the subsequent chapters build on each other. Therefore, it can be used as a textbook for beginners who want to learn computer programming and Python. Hence, it can be useful for high school, university, and course students or hobby programmers. This book is particularly recommended for those who wish to attend a Python course but for some reason (caring for a small child, limited mobility, distance, time constraints, etc.) cannot. The book can help in this situation because its content covers the knowledge that is provided in courses from beginner to advanced level, but it can be studied at the reader's own pace. As the presented body of knowledge is gradually deepening and leads to more and more subtle details of the language, this book is also recommended for teachers, engineers, software developers, data analysts, and data scientists. The book can also be used as a handbook. This means that if you have a task to solve or get stuck on a particular feature or detail of the language, and you remember that there was a section, diagram, table, or example in the book about it, you can go back and read it again. However, it is not a reference book in the sense that it is not a concise summary of the language. It is not intended to be a repetition or substitute for the official Python documentation; instead, it supplements it by providing more detailed descriptions of language features and showing the usage through examples or by giving explanations about the background of a particular language element. The primary goal of the book is to help you understand the principles and concepts, to gradually acquire knowledge of the language, and to develop the practical skills needed to create Python programs. In order to facilitate learning and retention of knowledge, along with numerous figures, diagrams, and tables, simple real-life analogies and metaphors are presented in several places in the text. These analogies mainly appear in passages that contain crucial principles or fundamental concepts that are particularly important for progression. As far as the content is concerned, in addition to some of the core principles of programming and software development, the reader is gradually introduced to important terms and language concepts such as object, container, iterator and generator, function and coroutine, function and class decorator, closure, class, abstract class, mixin class, data class, protocol, data and method attribute, method resolution order, property, attribute descriptor, single and multiple inheritance, module, package, polymorphism, static and dynamic typing, strong and weak typing, type hints, and static type checking. In addition to the basic language building blocks and structures, a number of frequently used modules of the standard library are presented in relation to a specific problem. Such sections are particularly useful for modules that may not be easily understood by everyone from the official documentation, such as the decimal module, which supports high precision mathematical calculations, and the tkinter module, which allows making a graphical user interface. This ebook covers the language features up to Python 3.13.

This book is the first volume of Thoroton's History of Nottinghamshire. Dr. Robert Thoroton (4 October 1623 - c. 21 November 1678) was an English antiquary, mainly remembered for his county history, The Antiquities of Nottinghamshire (1677). In 1667 Thoroton, aided by a band of helpers, began to work upon his great county history, The Antiquities of Nottinghamshire. This was published in London in 1677; it was dedicated to the eminent antiquarian William Dugdale and was illustrated by engravings by W. Hollar. It was Dugdale who had urged Thoroton to complete the work of history begun by Thoroton's father-in-law.

Iris Murdoch was a British writer. She studied all religions, their concepts, ideologies and philosophies. Mostly her novels are concerned with the humanity, man women relationships, society and their problems. Iris Murdoch studied Buddhist literature and finally, she decided to accept the Buddhism. In fact Iris Murdoch was a Marxist by birth. But she left the Marxism and converted to Buddhism. This is a chief concern of this study.a) Social-political background of Ireland:At that time Ireland was governed by parliament of United Kingdom in London. It was formed a constituent part of Great Britain. Ireland was facing many problems like great famine, vigorous campaign for Irish Home Rule. This movement was led by Robert Emmet in 1803.
