Die kleine Madeleine hat einen riesengroßen Herzenswunsch, den ihr wirklich nur der Weihnachtsmann erfüllen kann. Natürlich wünscht sie sich, wie jedes andere Kind auch, zu Weihnachten Spielsachen, Plätzchen und Süßigkeiten, aber sie wünscht sich auch noch etwas ganz Besonderes. Etwas, was ihr niemand sonst erfüllen kann. Daher bittet sie ihren Schutzengel, ihren Herzenswunsch dem Weihnachtsmann zukommen zu lassen. Wird der Weihnachtsmann dem kleinen Mädchen diesen Wunsch erfüllen? Welches Wundervolle Abenteuer wird sie dabei wohl erleben? ________________________________________________________________________ Small Madeleine has one very big heart-felt wish for Christmas, which only Santa Claus is able to fulfill. As well as every other child, she ́s wishing toys, biscuits, cookies and sweets for Christmas, too. But she also has one very special wish, which nobody else can fulfill. So she asks her guardian angel to get her heart-felt wish to Santa Claus. Will Santa fulfill her request? What wonderful adventure will be waiting for her?
Guy Maddin is Canada's most iconoclastic filmmaker. Through his reinvention of half-forgotten film genres, his remobilization of abandoned techniques from the early history of cinema, and his unique editing style, Maddin has created a critically successful body of work that looks like nothing else in Canadian film. My Winnipeg (2008), which Roger Ebert called one of the ten best films of the first decade of the twenty-first century, has consolidated Maddin's international reputation. In this sixth volume of the Canadian Cinema series, Darren Wershler argues that Maddin's use of techniques and media that fall outside of the normal repertoire of contemporary cinema require us to re-examine what we think we know about the documentary genre and even 'film' itself. Through an exploration of My Winnipeg's major thematic concerns - memory, the cultural archive, and how people and objects circulate through the space of the city - Wershler contends that the result is a film that is psychologically and affectively true without being historically accurate.

"Problem Solving in Data Structures & Algorithms" is a series of books about the usage of Data Structures and Algorithms in computer programming. The book is easy to follow and is written for interview preparation point of view. In these books, the examples are solved in various languages like Go, C, C++, Java, C#, Python, VB, JavaScript and PHP. GitHub Repositories for these books. https: //github.com/Hemant-Jain-Author Book's Composition This book introduces you to the world of data structures and algorithms. Data structures defines the way in which data is arranged in memory for fast and efficient access while algorithms are a set of instruction to solve problems by manipulating these data structures. Designing an efficient algorithm is a very important skill that all software companies, e.g. Microsoft, Google, Facebook etc. pursues. Most of the interviews for these companies are focused on knowledge of data-structures and algorithms. They look for how candidates use concepts of data structures and algorithms to solve complex problems efficiently. Apart from knowing, a programming language you also need to have good command of these key computer fundamentals to not only qualify the interview but also excel in you jobs as a software engineer. This book assumes that you are a C# language developer. You are not an expert in C# language, but you are well familiar with concepts of classes, functions, arrays, pointers and recursion. At the start of this book, we will be looking into Complexity Analysis followed by the various data structures and their algorithms. We will be looking into a Linked-List, Stack, Queue, Trees, Heap, Hash-Table and Graphs. We will also be looking into Sorting, Searching techniques. In last few chapters, we will be looking into various algorithmic techniques. Such as, Brute-Force algorithms, Greedy algorithms, Divide and Conquer algorithms, Dynamic Programming, Reduction and Backtracking. . Table of Contents Chapter 0: How to use this book.
