He’s out of this world. In a galaxy brimming with deadly threats, can they claim a happily ever after? Eliza Anderson refuses to be dragged down. Forced to grow up fast and take care of her sister, she tirelessly juggles work and senior year schoolwork just to make ends meet. And not even the mysterious, cute new boy can distract her from the fear she’s falling victim to the same troubling visions and sickness that claimed her mom. Jack Cartwright keeps his pain buried deep. Though slow to trust after being raised by his brutal human mother, the half-alien is quick to follow strange orders to keep some random Earth girl alive. But defending his feisty charge from a formidable enemy gets complicated when sparks start to fly… Shocked when she sees a terrifying man freeze time to rob a bank, Eliza questions her own identity when her protector reveals he’s part-extraterrestrial. And as the elusive criminal searches for a powerful artifact, Jack can’t afford to give in to his red-hot chemistry with the beautiful teen. As truth emerges from the shadows, can their hearts survive a cunning foe’s attack? Equinox With Drayton out of the picture, Eliza’s main priority is protecting her sister. To do so, she embarks on a mission to find out the source of Daisy’s power, even if it means some painful revelations.

Their only chance is to join forces with past enemies, but can the alliance last long enough to defeat the Greys? Only one thing is certain: Nothing will ever be the same again. One Bad Day "Chucking a drink in my face and embarrassing me in front of everyone isn't something I am likely to forget.” – Sadie to Eliza, Contact Ever wonder exactly how it went down when Eliza found out about Dane and Sadie, before Jack had even arrived in town?

Hyperautomation for Next-Generation Industries
Author: Rajesh Kumar Dhanaraj
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1394185820
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
This book is essential for anyone looking to understand how hyperautomation can revolutionize businesses by simplifying operations, reducing errors, and creating more intelligent and adaptable workplaces through the use of automation technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotic process automation. The use of automation technologies to simplify any and every activity conceivable in a business, allowing repeated operations to operate without manual intervention, is known as hyperautomation. Hyperautomation transforms current and old processes and equipment by utilizing artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotic process automation. This digital transformation may assist a business in gaining cost and resource efficiency, allowing it to prosper in a more competitive environment. With the advancement of automation technologies, hyperautomation is becoming more prevalent. Companies are shifting their methods to create more human-centered and intelligent workplaces. This change has ushered in a new era for organizations that rely on technology and automation tools to stay competitive. Businesses may move beyond technology’s distinct advantages to genuine digital agility and scale adaptability when all forms of automation operate together in close partnership. Automation tools must be simple to incorporate into the current technological stack while not requiring too much effort from IT. A platform must be able to plug and play with a wide range of technologies to achieve hyperautomation. The interdependence of automation technologies is a property that is connected to hyperautomation. Hyperautomation saves individuals time and money by reducing errors. Hyperautomation has the potential to create a workplace that is intelligent, adaptable, and capable of making quick, accurate decisions based on data and insights. Model recognition is used to determine what to do next and to optimize processes with the least amount of human engagement possible.

Programming Spiders, Bots, and Aggregators in Java
Author: Jeff Heaton
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0782152325
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 542
Book Description
The content and services available on the web continue to be accessed mostly through direct human control. But this is changing. Increasingly, users rely on automated agents that save them time and effort by programmatically retrieving content, performing complex interactions, and aggregating data from diverse sources. Programming Spiders, Bots, and Aggregators in Java teaches you how to build and deploy a wide variety of these agents-from single-purpose bots to exploratory spiders to aggregators that present a unified view of information from multiple user accounts. You will quickly build on your basic knowledge of Java to quickly master the techniques that are essential to this specialized world of programming, including parsing HTML, interpreting data, working with cookies, reading and writing XML, and managing high-volume workloads. You'll also learn about the ethical issues associated with bot use--and the limitations imposed by some websites. This book offers two levels of instruction, both of which are focused on the library of routines provided on the companion CD. If your main concern is adding ready-made functionality to an application, you'll achieve your goals quickly thanks to step-by-step instructions and sample programs that illustrate effective implementations. If you're interested in the technologies underlying these routines, you'll find in-depth explanations of how they work and the techniques required for customization.
