Book excerpt: "If I had to pinpoint it, I'd say all my troubles started with a dildo." Rodney Grizzly is in trouble. All he ever wanted was to be a successful artist. Instead, here he is at twenty-six years old: unemployed with a felony drug conviction on his record, locked in a walk-in freezer with third-degree burns and an irate girlfriend. Outside the door are hired killers waiting to get the order to pull the trigger. And it's all Rodney's fault. His girlfriend, ex-junkie Beth, won't talk to him. So Rodney has nothing better to do than walk down memory lane while he waits to find out if he's going to be killed by the men who tortured and kidnapped him. How did it get to be like this? Rodney recounts his story- how he met the love of his life, how he lost her, and how he got her back. Why he and his brother decided to rob one of the biggest suppliers of methamphetamines in Alabama, kicking off the chain of events that led to this mess in the first place. When the freezer door opens, Rodney and Beth are in for the fight of their lives, and nothing will ever be the same afterwards. Anywhere But Here is a story about a man who never had anything finding the will to rise up from despair, only to find himself involved in infidelity, murder plots, robbery attempts, and an epic white trash feud between good and evil, while desperately trying to hold on to the love of his life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sebrina looks at Josh as he stands in front of her. She knows what he is going to say. She knows he will reject her for her more beautiful blond twin sister. She and Leona can not be more different, and everyone can not believe they are twins. Her parents always loved Leona more than her as she had red hair and green eyes and freckles, while Leona was the pretty one with blond hair, blue eyes and perfect skin. Sebrina has learned not to ask her parents for love and attention from a young age as all their love and attention went to the cute child. They ignored her like she did not exist. It made Sebrina push people away from her, and that is why she is standing here in front of Josh, her mate waiting for him to reject her. It is not uncommon for twins to have the same mate. It happened before. Sebrina being the rebel she is, smiles as she waits for Josh's words. "I, Josh Norton, future alpha of the Red Wood Pack, reject you, Sebrina Dawson, as my mate," Josh says. Everything inside Sebrina feels like it is dying a slow death, her wolf is whimpering, but she quiets her down. "I, Sebrina Dawson, accept your rejection, future alpha of the Red Wood Pack. I hope you and Leona will be happy," Sebrina says with a sarcastic smile on her face. She knows her sister, and she knows she is spoiled rotten. "You are just going to accept it like that?" Leona asks from the side. Sebrina knows her sister wants a fight, but she will not give her the satisfaction. Sebrina looks at Leona as smiles. "Best of luck to the two of you," Sebrina says. My father is the beta to Josh's father, and Sebrina knows her life is not worth a dime after today. Leona will want her dead to make sure Josh stays hers forever and that he does not change his mind in the future. Sebrina knows she is risking her life to leave her pack, but going away or staying in the same for her. If she stays, she will die, but she might have a chance out there in the big evil world. So she runs away, not knowing what adventure waited for her and that she will meet her biggest nightmare—the Alpha of all Alphas, Blaze Walker and she have to run not only from her sister but also from Blaze.

Read a special & unique book (Cosmocellular-Hypothesis). No one would have ever read it before. This same Cosmocellular-Message you had read before 30 billion years, and will also read after 30 billion years,.....How it's possible according to universal Ancient-Vedic-Law of the Time-Replication & Thermodynamics-Laws of the Modern-Science (Waves-physics)? Indeed, all kind of the plant-kingdoms & animal-kingdoms on the earth, had reproduced , are reproducing & will reproduce from their same species only. Thus, our ancestors were not apes, but they were same as we look today. ..... How according to such joint-theory of cosmocellular-ancestory (and waves- &-particles-physics) as well as cytocosmic-ancestory, ---- can trace back us to Vedic-belief or philosophical-belief (which strongly prevailed before Charles Darwin) about the evolution of life on the earth that each living-species evolved separately & that none had changed their forms? That means, how a man evolved from a man only ,not from the ape or other species. In other words, man has descended from man only , & rat from rat only; similarly a banyan tree from banyan-tree only, & mango-tree from mango-tree only etc.etc. ? In short, a babool or banyan tree never never gives mango-fruit. ....... www.cosmocellular.com

Download or read book The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence written by Luciano Floridi and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-12 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence has two goals. The first goal is meta-theoretical and is fulfilled by Part One, which comprises the first three chapters: an interpretation of the past (Chapter 1), the present (Chapter 2), and the future of AI (Chapter 3). Part One develops the thesis that AI is an unprecedented divorce between agency and intelligence. On this basis, Part Two investigates the consequences of such a divorce, developing the thesis that AI as a new form of agency can be harnessed ethically and unethically. It begins (Chapter 4) by offering a unified perspective on the many principles that have been proposed to frame the ethics of AI. This leads to a discussion (Chapter 5) of the potential risks that may undermine the application of these principles, and then (Chapter 6) an analysis of the relation between ethical principles and legal norms, and a definition of soft ethics as post-compliance ethics. Part Two continues by analysing the ethical challenges caused by the development and use of AI (Chapter 7), evil uses of AI (Chapter 8), and good practices when applying AI (Chapter 9). The last group of chapters focuses on the design, development, and deployment of AI for Social Good or AI4SG (Chapter 10); the positive and negative impacts of AI on the environment and how it can be a force for good in the fight against climate change-but not without risks and costs, which can and must be avoided or minimised (Chapter 11); and the possibility of using AI in support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (Chapter 12). The book concludes (Chapter 13) by arguing in favour of a new marriage between the Green of all our habitats and the Blue of all our digital technologies and how this new marriage can support and develop a better society and a healthier biosphere.

Book excerpt: In myriad ways, each narrator’s life has been shaped by loss, injustice, and resilience—and by the struggle of how to share space with settler nations whose essential aim is to take all that is Indigenous. Hear from Jasilyn Charger, one of the first five people to set up camp at Standing Rock, which kickstarted a movement of Water Protectors that roused the world; Gladys Radek, a survivor of sexual violence whose niece disappeared along Canada’s Highway of Tears, who became a family advocate for the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls; and Marian Naranjo, herself the subject of a secret radiation test while in high school, who went on to drive Santa Clara Pueblo toward compiling an environmental impact statement on the consequences of living next to Los Alamos National Laboratory. Theirs are stories among many of the ongoing contemporary struggles to preserve Native lands and lives—and of how we go home.

This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today is Sunday, June 17, 2007. Father’s Day. Naturally, the obligatory, carefully selected cards, phone calls, and small gifts arrived from the children and grandchildren. Best wishes for Father’s Day were also the first words in the morning from Heidel, my wife of 54 years, although for many years I had made the comment: “I am not your father. ” But, in the frame of my life’s experiences th th in the 20 century, as I intend to summarize them over the next few years, the 17 of June has much deeper significance. This was the day in 1953 when we finally fled from our life of oppression which had lasted 20 years. Two successive dictatorships, one of Hitler and the other of Stalin, caused the most horrific slaughter of civilians and soldiers, eclipsing all prior history. During these first years of my life, I was plainly lucky to survive. After this day, I had a much better chance to experience the freedom needed to lead a life of creativity, satisfaction, and ultimately prosperity, all directed largely by our own decisions. th The 17 of June 1953 was a Wednesday. I stayed in the apartment of my parents in my hometown of Brandenburg, in the German Democratic Republic (GDR), the former Russian occupied zone of Germany. The summer vacation of the Humboldt University in East Berlin, some 40 mi further east, had just started. But, I was alone with my father, “Vati.
