  Have you ever looked at the effects of climate change and the apathy of so many around you and wondered, "What are we missing here?" 
   
   
   
  Climate activist Kyle Meyaard-Schaap understands this feeling from personal experience. But in his years of speaking to and equipping Christians to work for climate action, he's seen the trend begin to shift. More and more young Christians are waking up to the realities of climate change. They want to help, but they're not sure how. 
   
   
   
  Through stories from the field, theological and scriptural exploration, and practical advice, Meyaard-Schaap offers hope to Christians paralyzed by the scale of the crisis, helping us turn our paralysis into meaningful action. Following Jesus in a Warming World is a field guide for Christian climate action—one grounded not in a sense of guilt or drudgery, but in the joy of caring for creation.

  Take a data-first and use-case-driven approach with Low-Code AI to understand machine learning and deep learning concepts. This hands-on guide presents three problem-focused ways to learn no-code ML using AutoML, low-code using BigQuery ML, and custom code using scikit-learn and Keras. In each case, you'll learn key ML concepts by using real-world datasets with realistic problems. 
   
   
   
  Business and data analysts get a project-based introduction to ML/AI using a detailed, data-driven approach: loading and analyzing data; feeding data into an ML model; building, training, and testing; and deploying the model into production. Authors Michael Abel and Gwendolyn Stripling show you how to build machine learning models for retail, healthcare, financial services, energy, and telecommunications. 
   
   
   
  You'll learn how to distinguish between structured and unstructured data and the challenges they present; visualize and analyze data; preprocess data for input into a machine learning model; differentiate between the regression and classification supervised learning models; compare different ML model types and architectures, from no code to low code to custom training; design, implement, and tune ML models; and export data to a GitHub repository for data management and governance.

  A Road Running Southward -...

  In 1867, John Muir set out on foot to explore the botanical wonders of the South, keeping a detailed journal of his adventures as he traipsed from Kentucky southward to Florida. One hundred and fifty years later, on a similar whim, veteran Atlanta reporter Dan Chapman recreated Muir's journey to see for himself how nature has fared since Muir's time. Channeling Muir, he uses humor, keen observation, and a deep love of place to celebrate the South's natural riches. 
   
   
   
  Each chapter touches upon a local ecological problem—moving between John Muir's vivid descriptions of a lush botanical paradise and the myriad environmental problems facing the South today. Along the way he talks to locals with deep ties to the land—scientists, hunters, politicians, and even a Muir impersonator—who describe the changes they've witnessed and what it will take to accommodate a fast-growing population without destroying the natural beauty and a cherished connection to nature. 
   
   
   
  A Road Running Southward is part travelogue, part environmental cri de coeur, and paints a picture of a South under siege. It is a passionate appeal, a call to action to save one of the loveliest and most biodiverse regions of the world by understanding what we have to lose if we do nothing.

  Shigellosis - Causes Symptoms...

  Shigellosis is a highly contagious bacterial infection caused by the Shigella species, which primarily affects the intestines and leads to symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps. The disease spreads easily through direct person-to-person contact, contaminated food and water, or poor hygiene practices. It is a significant public health concern, particularly in developing countries where sanitation infrastructure is inadequate. However, outbreaks also occur in more developed regions, especially in crowded environments such as schools, daycare centers, and nursing homes. Understanding the nature of Shigella, its transmission routes, and its global impact is essential in addressing and preventing the spread of the disease. 
  The Shigella genus consists of four major species: Shigella dysenteriae, Shigella flexneri, Shigella boydii, and Shigella sonnei. Each of these species is associated with varying degrees of illness severity, with Shigella dysenteriae being the most severe due to its production of the Shiga toxin. Shigella sonnei is the most common cause of infection in industrialized nations, while Shigella flexneri is more prevalent in developing regions. These bacteria invade the cells lining the intestines, leading to inflammation, ulcers, and severe diarrhea that may contain blood or mucus. Because Shigella is highly resistant to stomach acid, only a small number of bacteria—sometimes fewer than 100—are needed to cause an infection. 
  The primary mode of transmission for Shigella is the fecal-oral route. This means that infection occurs when an individual ingests even a tiny amount of contaminated fecal matter. Poor hand hygiene, inadequate sanitation, and the consumption of contaminated food or water are key contributors to outbreaks.
