An Imperfect Match by Kimberly Van Meter Pdf

Widower Dean Halvorsen is concentrating on just two things: his construction business and raising his teenage son. He doesn't really care about anything else. Not anymore. Then Annabelle Nichols comes to Emmett's Mill, California, with her baby daughter, Honey. Before Dean quite knows how, Annabelle is working in his office and turning his world upside down. Still, the more time he spends with Annabelle and Honey, the more he realizes what's missing in his life. But Annabelle is all wrong for him. Of course, when something—or someone!—is all wrong, that doesn't mean things won't work out just right.

A Perfectly Imperfect Match by Marie Ferrarella Pdf

In one corner we have Jared Winterset, who's not in the market for a wife. He knows too well how few marriages succeed—and Jared hates failure. So he'll keep it light. In the other corner there's Elizabeth Stephens, a self-sufficient violinist. She's lonely sometimes, but playing her music is more rewarding—and safer—than playing the field. Then a certain someone calls in the Mamas, and—ding!— Jared and Elizabeth are thrown together, planning a thirty-fifth wedding anniversary party. Soon the two are enjoying themselves way too much. It won't last, thinks Elizabeth. It's fun, that's all, thinks Jared. But they're about to learn that in a real love match, both players can win…

Imperfect Match by Corinne Michaels,Melanie Harlow Pdf

La prima regola per un'organizzatrice di incontri? Mai innamorarsi del cliente! La trentaduenne Willow Hayes ha un progetto delineato per la sua vita: rilevare l’agenzia di incontri di famiglia e avere un bambino tutto suo. Il problema? Willow non è per niente brava a interpretare Cupido e, senza un lavoro ben retribuito, un bebè è fuori questione. Così, quando sua madre annuncia di voler vendere l’agenzia, Willow è costretta a mettersi alla prova in un’ultima sfida per dimostrare alla famiglia la sua abilità con gli affari di cuore. Peccato che sua madre scelga come cliente Reid Fortino, il suo vicino di casa nonché migliore amico e scapolo senza speranza. Reid è soddisfatto della sua vita così com’è: ha un lavoro di successo, storie divertenti senza impegno e una migliore amica con cui trascorrere le serate tra serie tv commoventi e prelibate cene fatte in casa. Insomma, non pensa minimamente ad accasarsi, né tantomeno a matrimonio e figli, perché è convinto che l’amore porti solo guai e sofferenze dopo aver visto la relazione dei propri genitori naufragare. Tuttavia, quando Willow gli chiede il piccolo favore di prendere parte a una serie di appuntamenti per trovare la partner perfetta, Reid non può far a meno di acconsentire: farebbe qualsiasi cosa per permettere alla sua migliore amica di realizzare i suoi sogni. Più tempo i due trascorrono insieme a cercare la ragazza ideale per Reid, che sembra non esistere affatto, più Willow si rende conto di quanto desideri tenere il suo migliore amico tutto per sé. E che male può fare cedere solo una volta e lasciarsi andare l’uno tra le braccia dell’altra? E invece, è l’inizio di una rivoluzione per i due migliori amici: Willow si ritrova sul punto di perdere la testa per Reid, e anche il lavoro. Reid non riesce a lasciarla andare, eppure ha progetti per il futuro molto differenti dai suoi. Insomma, nelle vite di Reid e Willow non c’è nulla di perfetto, ma il desiderio nascosto di entrambi è essere imperfetti insieme... saranno loro il match di cuori destinato a durare per sempre? Dopo Closer Corinne Michaels e Melanie Harlow tornano a scrivere insieme una adorabile commedia romantica.

Content, Consciousness, and Perception by Conor McHugh,Ezio Di Nucci Pdf

What sort of thing is the mind? And how can such a thing at the same time - belong to the natural world, - represent the world, - give rise to our subjective experience, - and ground human knowledge? Content, Consciousness and Perception is an edited collection, comprising eleven new contributions to the philosophy of mind, written by some of the most promising young philosophers in the UK and Ireland. The book is arranged into three parts. Part I, “Concepts and Mental Content”, which begins with an attack by Hans-Johann Glock on the representational theory of mind, addresses the nature of mental representation. Part II, “Consciousness and the Metaphysics of Mind”, concerns the prospects for a naturalistic metaphysics of the conscious mind. Finally, Part III, entitled “Perception”, pursues the project of giving a satisfactory philosophical account of perceptual experience. The book begins with an introductory essay by the editors, which provides an overview of the state of contemporary philosophy of mind, locating the articles to follow within that context. The individual chapters of Content, Consciousness and Perception are professional contributions to their respective areas, of interest to any philosopher of mind. The volume as a whole is ideal for non-specialists and students interested in getting to grips with the state of the art in contemporary philosophy of mind.

Challenges for Arabic Machine Translation by Abdelhadi Soudi,Ali Farghaly,Günter Neumann,Rabih Zibib Pdf

This book is the first volume that focuses on the specific challenges of machine translation with Arabic either as source or target language. It nicely fills a gap in the literature by covering approaches that belong to the three major paradigms of machine translation: Example-based, statistical and knowledge-based. It provides broad but rigorous coverage of the methods for incorporating linguistic knowledge into empirical MT. The book brings together original and extended contributions from a group of distinguished researchers from both academia and industry. It is a welcome and much-needed repository of important aspects in Arabic Machine Translation such as morphological analysis and syntactic reordering, both central to reducing the distance between Arabic and other languages. Most of the proposed techniques are also applicable to machine translation of Semitic languages other than Arabic, as well as translation of other languages with a complex morphology.

Structural Analysis of Non-Classical Logics by Syraya Chin-Mu Yang,Duen-Min Deng,Hanti Lin Pdf

This volume brings together a group of logic-minded philosophers and philosophically oriented logicians to address a diversity of topics on the structural analysis of non-classical logics. It mainly focuses on the construction of different types of models for various non-classical logics of current interest, including modal logics, epistemic logics, dynamic logics, and observational predicate logic. The book presents a wide range of applications of two well-known approaches in current research: (i) structural modeling of certain philosophical issues in the framework of non-classic logics, such as admissible models for modal logic, structural models for modal epistemology and for counterfactuals, and epistemological models for common knowledge and for public announcements; (ii) conceptual analysis of logical properties of, and formal semantics for, non-classical logics, such as sub-formula property, truthmaking, epistemic modality, behavioral strategies, speech acts and assertions. The structural analysis provided in this volume will appeal not only to graduate students and experts in non-classic logics, but also to readers from a wide range of disciplines, including computer science, cognitive science, linguistics, game theory and theory of action, to mention a few.

Towards better Performing Transport Networks by Bart Jourquin,Piet Rietveld,Kerstin Westin Pdf

The performance of current transport systems is inadequate when viewed in terms of economic efficiency, sustainability and safety. Drawing together key an impressive list of contributors from the vast field of transportation economics including Kenneth Button, David Banister and Juan Carlos Martín, this book investigates transport systems, and covers a wide range of topics such as: airline markets congestion charging speed control. This informative book, ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate students of economics, business and industrial studies examines the tools that are necessary to effectively measure transport systems and those that are required to improve them. Utilizing advanced tools of network analysis, the contributors challenge various pieces of conventional wisdom, in particular the view that intermodal transport is more environmentally benign than road transport.

Subjunctive Conditionals by Michela Ippolito Pdf

A proposal for a compositional semantics for subjunctive (or would) conditionals in English. In this book, Michela Ippolito proposes a compositional semantics for subjunctive (or would) conditionals in English that accounts for their felicity conditions and the constraints on the satisfaction of their presuppositions by capitalizing on the occurrence of past tense morphology in both antecedent and consequent clauses. Very little of the extensive literature on subjunctive conditionals tries to account for the meaning of these sentences compositionally or to relate this meaning to their linguistic form; this book fills that gap, connecting the different lines of research on conditionals. Ippolito's proposal will be of interest both to linguists and to philosophers concerned with conditionals and modality more generally. Ippolito reviews previous analyses of counterfactuals and subjunctive conditionals in the work of David Lewis, Robert Stalnaker, Angelika Kratzer, and others; considers the contrast between future simple past subjunctive conditionals and future past perfect subjunctive conditionals; presents a proposal for subjunctive conditionals that addresses puzzles left unsolved by previous proposals; reviews a number of presupposition triggers showing that they fit the pattern predicted by her proposal; and discusses an asymmetry between the past and the future among subjunctive conditionals, arguing that the best account of our linguistic intuitions must include an indeterministic view of the world.

Moving the Needle by Katherine S. Newman,Elisabeth S Jacobs Pdf

This timely investigation reveals how sustained tight labor markets improve the job prospects and life chances of America’s most vulnerable households Most research on poverty focuses on the damage caused by persistent unemployment. But what happens when jobs are plentiful and workers are hard to come by? Moving the Needle examines how very low unemployment boosts wages at the bottom, improves benefits, lengthens job ladders, and pulls the unemployed into a booming job market. Drawing on over seventy years of quantitative data, as well as interviews with employers, jobseekers, and longtime residents of poor neighborhoods, Katherine S. Newman and Elisabeth S. Jacobs investigate the most durable positive consequences of tight labor markets. They also consider the downside of overheated economies that can ignite surging rents and spur outmigration. Moving the Needle is an urgent and original call to implement policies that will maintain the current momentum and prepare for potential slowdowns that may lie ahead

Solar Energy by Richard R. Hautala,R. Bruce King,Charles Kutal Pdf

The intense current interest in the development of solar energy as a viable energy alternative comes as no surprise in view of the widespread awareness of impending world-wide energy shortages. After all, the magnitude of energy available from the sun is impressive, its diffuseness and intermittent nature notwithstanding. The fact that, as a source, it represents a constant and inex haustible supply of energy is alluring. The fact that most solar application schemes are nonpolluting in nature is an attractive bonus. In spite of these impressive attributes, research and development in the area of solar energy is in its infancy, owing largely to the prior lack of any need to exploit such diffuse sources. Indeed efforts in this area have traditionally been within the province of solid-state physics and engineering. The problems associated with efficient light harvesting and storage, however, are not simply technological ones. Effec tive solutions to these problems appear to lie beyond the current forefront of the chemical sciences. Consequently input fr9m scientists previously engaged in fundamental chemistry has begun to emerge. Thus many of the contributions in this volume represent input from research groups with a relatively short history of involvement in solar energy. On the other hand, the long-standing and perceptive commitment of Professor Melvin Calvin to research involving solar energy represents the other extreme. This volume covers a variety of approaches to the problem of efficiently converting and storing solar energy.
