With Zeke, Zion, Zackery, and Zeus on my side, there's nothing I need to fear - and with Calvin as our joker card. We're a dangerous threat together, and this Hive goes by one thing: Breaking all the rules. Game On.

When the element of fire burns within your veins, the academy for all things blazing is the best place to learn how to make that flame burn even stronger. Alice Blaze is my name, and I'm your typical adopted sixteen-year-old. My mom disappeared after my birth and my dad was an alcoholic maniac. That left me being raised by my protective grandparents in the single house up the hill that people only come to view on Halloween. Apparently, our house is haunted, but I haven't figured that one out yet. Regardless of my depressing backstory, my life has always been in the line of misery. Since I was little, I always got into trouble, and it always ended up with something combusting into flames. Lighting up the curtains, explosive vials in lab class. Don't get me started with the accidental school fire. Need I say more?The last straw is when I'm accused of shattered all the windows in the entire school, but that doesn't make sense because it has nothing to do with that burning nemesis called fire. With my grandparents having enough of my constant transfers, a letter of invitation lands right onto our doorstep.I'm invited to Blazing Academy, the academy for all things scorching hot. Shifters, demons, and blazing hot witches...oh right. That's apparently what I am. A blazing hot witch. Let's hope that's all I am, and that this first semester goes a lot smoother than I'm imagining.

Our world is being revolutionized by data-driven methods: access to large amounts of data has generated new insights and opened exciting new opportunities in commerce, science, and computing applications. Processing the enormous quantities of data necessary for these advances requires large clusters, making distributed computing paradigms more crucial than ever. MapReduce is a programming model for expressing distributed computations on massive datasets and an execution framework for large-scale data processing on clusters of commodity servers. The programming model provides an easy-to-understand abstraction for designing scalable algorithms, while the execution framework transparently handles many system-level details, ranging from scheduling to synchronization to fault tolerance. This book focuses on MapReduce algorithm design, with an emphasis on text processing algorithms common in natural language processing, information retrieval, and machine learning. We introduce the notion of MapReduce design patterns, which represent general reusable solutions to commonly occurring problems across a variety of problem domains. This book not only intends to help the reader "think in MapReduce", but also discusses limitations of the programming model as well. Table of Contents: Introduction / MapReduce Basics / MapReduce Algorithm Design / Inverted Indexing for Text Retrieval / Graph Algorithms / EM Algorithms for Text Processing / Closing Remarks

How do you thrive when you're an unwanted, worthless, human female? Simple: alter your reality by switching sides. During the day, I'm William De Luca , the only 'son' of Roberto De Luca, the king of the NYC mafia and Alpha of the deadliest wolf pack -- one this city doesn't mess with. At night, I'm Willow De Luca , cage fighter champion with a slight temper problem.Regardless of which role I'm playing, I'm plagued by the inability to shift, a condition that has Papa Dearest deeming me a 'mistake.' All the same, it's worth enduring my double life if it means staying out of my father's business and ignoring the growing legacy that's waiting for me to claim.Unfortunately, no matter how rich and powerful you are, the universe isn't going to grant you everything you want. In Father's case, it was having a son. In mine? Finding a mate. Without an inner wolf of my own, meeting a wolf shifter who's connected to me is essentially impossible. It's a forbidden dream I'd all but given up on. Then my carefully balanced life is disrupted by the arrival of a new pack that intends to make me the target of a power play to take the De Luca territory. However, one glimpse of Dimitris, Neo, Saint, and Jayce is all it takes -- I want to make them mine. I'm willing to bet everything on a dangerous gamble, because maybe being a wealthy boy by day and lethal girl at night is the double-play I need to earn the grand prize. THEM. Fans of Wolf Tamer and Reflections of You are going to fall in love with this new, gender bender, enemies to lovers romance with thrilling action, suspense, and heated romance. WOLF AWAKENED is a 150,000-word Paranormal Wolf Shifter Romance with enemies-lovers/bully themes.

After pissing off the head of the supernatural lab, failing at befriending my fellow inmates, and pitching a temper tantrum in the underground cafeteria, it was only a matter of time before I had to do something about this whole captivity thing. For me, Cassandra Thorn, being born as a human, raised by an elite group of supernaturals, and struggling to reach my twentieth birthday was far more fun than this.Then again, anything would be. In this case, "this" refers to being taken against my will--kidnapped--and trapped in an underground lab for supernatural shifters. Pretty ridiculous, considering I was a mere mortal. Or so I was told. Turns out there are a lot of things I was told, not all of them true. Now a family secret has been revealed and destiny is just waiting for me to fulfill it...but I was stuck in Prison Boringville with a bunch of not-so-friendly detainees.Being a supernatural inmate isn't my style, so with the very new powers bestowed upon me, I was getting my booty out of this hellhole. Unless Adonis the sexy incubus, Dominick the deadly fae master, Otis the death-seeking vampire, and Tristan the sly shapeshifter bust me out first. Supernatural Inmate is the first book in the Supernatural Captivity series, a Paranormal Prison Romance.
