This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th
International Conference of the CLEF Initiative, CLEF 2018, jointly
organized by Avignon, Marseille and Toulon universities and held in
Avignon, France, in September 2018. The conference has a clear
focus on experimental information retrieval with special attention
to the challenges of multimodality, multilinguality, and
interactive search ranging from unstructured to semi structures and
structured data. The 13 papers presented in this volume were
carefully reviewed and selected from 39 submissions. Many papers
tackle the medical ehealth and ehealth multimedia retrieval
challenges, however there are many other topics of research such as
document clustering, social biases in IR, social book search,
personality profiling. Further this volume presents 9 "best of the
labs" papers which were reviewed as a full paper submission with
the same review criteria. The labs represented scientific
challenges based on new data sets and real world problems in
multimodal and multilingual information access. In addition to
this, 10 benchmarking labs reported results of their yearlong
activities in overview talks and lab sessions. The papers address
all aspects of information access in any modularity and language
and cover a broad range of topics in the field of multilingual and
multimodal information access evaluation.

Few television shows have won critical acclaim on the level of
Breaking Bad, perhaps because few series are as worth deep
examination as Breaking Bad. Something about Walter White's
struggle with his inner demons resonated with us. The idea that his
foray into meth production was not merely a dalliance with
darkness, but was actually a full-blown awakening intrigued us. And
most of all, the idea that we came to have no respect for the
protagonist of our favorite show utterly fascinated us. We couldn't
look away. Breaking Down Breaking Bad attempts to poke into the
dark corners of Walter White's mind, explore the traits that make
this show special, and revels in the joy of what is arguably the
best drama ever to appear on television. In doing so, it peels back
the layers of what makes characters like Jesse Pinkman tick,
explores why we were so drawn to characters like Gus Fring and Mike
Ehrmantraut, and relives some of the greatest moments of this
already legendary series. Because the show may be gone, but the
conversation about it certainly isn't.
Lakehurst, NJ is best known as the site of the Hindenburg disaster
and the unofficial ''Airship Capital of the World, '' a place where
rigid airships were once common and where one of the most iconic
events in history took place. But there is much more to the story
than one notable disaster. Located on the northern fringes of New
Jersey's Pine Barrens, Lakehurst boasts a past filled with
visionary railroad barons, innovative military advances, and quirky
residents. For the first time ever, a comprehensive history of this
fascinating community is gathered between two covers. From its days
as a bog iron community making cannonballs for the American
Revolution to its modern status as a bedroom community nestled
outside one of the East Coast's largest military bases, Lakehurst:
Barrens, Blimps & Barons offers a story of New Jersey triumph
and tragedy as told by the people who lived it. Featuring dozens of
photos and based in part on a slew of interviews, Barrens, Blimps
& Barons will delight railroad aficionados, students of
military history, and anyone who has ever had a connection to
Lakehurst, Manchester, Toms River, Whiting, or the Pine Barrens.
Alfred Hitchcock's career spanned more than five decades, during
which he directed more than 50 films, many of them indisputable
classics: Notorious, Strangers on a Train, Rear Window, Vertigo,
North by Northwest, and Psycho, among others. In A Year of
Hitchcock: 52 Weeks with the Master of Suspense, authors Jim
McDevitt and Eric San Juan provide a comprehensive examination of
Hitchcock's film-to-film development, spanning from the beginning
of his career in silents to his final film in 1976, including his
work on two French propaganda shorts he directed during World War
II and segments he directed for Alfred Hitchcock Presents.
Organized into 52 chapters and arranged in chronological order, the
book invites readers to spend a year with the director's most
notable works, all of which are available on DVD. Each film is
examined in the context of Hitchcock's career, as the authors
consider the themes central to his work; discuss each film's
production; comment on the cast, script, and other aspects of the
film; and assess the film's value to the Hitchcock viewer. From The
Lodger to Family Plot, 68 works directed by Hitchcock are analyzed.
Each analysis is supplemented by key film facts, trivia, awards, a
guide to his cameos, a filmography, and a listing of available DVD
releases. Whether readers decide to undertake the journey through
his films one week at a time or pick and choose at their
discretion, A Year of Hitchcock will open the eyes of any viewer
who wants to better understand this director's evolution as an
artist.
