But I must admit first and foremost that I was not always an avid Lego collector.

The main star of the show is Leslie Knope, who is a deputy director in that department.

To provide another perspective, this time round, I wanted to dig further to discover what other insights about disciplinary issues we can glean from the data. [Read More]

For my third post, I have decided to look at some soccer data that was recently uploaded at Kaggle.
