Book and DVD. The Great Misunderstanding shows us that we have been conditioned to believe in duality, perceiving ourselves as separate from the world and from life itself. We try to overcome this separation by changing our lives to be better, or find more love. This book deconstructs this false misunderstanding in a simple and direct way, drawing on his public talks, dialogues with students, and situations from daily life. His message is about true freedom, about the profound and life-changing realisation that true happiness, peace and love are to be found inside us. The book is compact and sleek, with a beautiful design and color pages with each chapter.

Are you able to be eternally vigilant?Are you able to look out for yourself?What if you are not?
What if you are, but others are not?What if they think they are, but you know they are not?Would you let them suffer in freedom?Would you take away their freedom for their own safety?What would you do?Who would you be?
Would you be Rudi Kingston, and prefer freedom to safety?Would you be Lady Ivana, and prefer safety to freedom?Would you be Scylla Daer, and believe in forcing the weak to be free?Would you be Lord Balari, and believe in protecting the weak from freedom?Would you be Jorel Kable, and fail to see the conflict?Would you be Wispy, and become the conflict?

What does it mean to have a Passion for Dead Leaves?It means to love what is old.To love what is past.To love what is dead.
But it can mean more than that.It can mean to resent the new.To fear the future.To believe that change is bad.
It can mean to oppose all change.To oppose developments that change old environments.To oppose fashions that change old traditions.To oppose new ideas that change old values.To believe that old was good and new is bad.
But is that right or wrong?Change can be for the worse.New developments can destroy what was worth keeping.New fashions can destroy good traditions.New ideas can be dangerous or stupid.
Guido Broccoli and Marcel Donkova believe in the new.They have no Passion for Dead Leaves.Scylla Daer and Gudrun Donkova believe in the old.They do have a Passion for Dead Leaves.
Do you have a Passion for Dead Leaves?

Predicting Hotspots
Using Machine Learning to Understand Civil Conflict
AvAtin Basuchoudhary,James T. Bangm. fl.

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book should be useful to anyone interested in identifying the causes of civil conflict and doing something to end it. It even suggests a pathway for the lay reader. Civil conflict is a persistent source of misery to humankind. Its study, however, lacks a comprehensive theory of its causes. Nevertheless, the question of cooperation or conflict is at the heart of political economy. This book introduces Machine Learning to explore whether there even is a unified theory of conflict, and if there is, whether it is a ‘good’ one. A good theory is one that not only identifies the causes of conflict, but also identifies those causes that predict conflict. Machine learning algorithms use out of sample techniques to choose between competing hypotheses about the sources of conflict according to their predictive accuracy. This theoretically agnostic ‘picking’ has the added benefit of offering some protection against many of the problems noted in the current literature; the tangled causality between conflict and its correlates, the relative rarity of civil conflict at a global level, missing data, and spectacular statistical assumptions. This book argues that the search for a unified theory of conflict must begin among these more predictive sources of civil conflict. In fact, in the book, there is a clear sense that game theoretic rational choice models of bargaining/commitment failure predict conflict better than any other approach. In addition, the algorithms highlight the fact that conflict is path dependent - it tends to continue once started. This is intuitive in many ways but is roundly ignored as a matter of science. It should not. Further, those causes of conflict that best predict conflict can be used as policy levers to end or prevent conflict. This book should therefore be of interest to military and civil leaders engaged in ending civil conflict. Last, though not least, the book highlights how the sources of conflict affect conflict. This additional insight may allow the crafting of policies that match a country’s specific circumstance.

What If the Notions You Have About God and Yourself Are Based on a Lie?

E-bok

Läs direkt efter köp
Truth: our success in life is most heavily influenced by what we allow ourselves to think and believe, not by circumstances or conditions as we often assume.As a society, our notions of existence, of God (if you believe), of ourselves as physical beings, and of what success is, are distorted. We perpetuate the lie that personal success has to do with achieving . We are taught that in pursuing wealth and financial security or popularity and acceptance, we will become okay when in fact it has the opposite effect. We place our trust in (worship) acquiring things, to be okay, to fill the emptiness inside, and give us a sense of security (money possessions, romance, acceptance, information personal power), and as we either achieve or fail to reach our goals with these things, we are quietly (subconsciously) perplexed that they do not work.Our existence as a species, our identity, is one of the most important topics we could learn about, and yet it is so perplexing that most of us avoid thinking about it altogether. Every fear, every one of our destructive behaviors, all self-doubt, vanity, guilt, or emotional problems we have all greed, pride, selfishness, violence, and misuse of sexuality, is directly tied to what we think and believe. An inner dialog of fear, unworthiness, abandonment, or shame can translate to debilitating defeat, because it s not just thoughts and beliefs that paralyze a person, but changes in the blood chemistry throughout the entire body, within every cell. For you and I everything boils down to what we allow or disallow to shape our reality. This is where the ultimate use of free will occurs.This book explores truths, and some subtle but major misconceptions about existence, about who or what God is, about the principles that guide our universe, about humans in relation to all of it and about perfect love. It looks at what science, psychology, and the Bible actually say about us, in contrast to the common notion s society projects. What do you long for? Do you want to feel complete and filled with purpose? Would you like to live a balanced life, and have healthy relationships (with yourself, with others, and with money)? Do you want serenity, peace of spirit, mental and physical health? Do you want to love others well, and feel loved?There remains today a fog of deception across society that keeps us from clearly seeing the truth. My intention is to shine light on it, to show people some things they are not aware of, and how knowing it can make all the difference between being okay, and not being okay.

Practical Stone Masonry is the first major book in nearly seventy years on the craft of the stonemason. Today the work of the stonemason is almost exclusively confined to the repair of historic buildings, requiring a full working knowledge of the detailed traditional craft practices relating to repairs. This book addresses that need. It covers the basic methods of working stone, the making of specialized tools, and, for the first time, a full analysis of the procedures for setting-out for repairs. A broad description of the nature and problems of stone also includes guidance on selection. In addition, the authors look at the causes of decay in stone and outline methods for repair of both stone and mortar. "Practical Stone Masonry" contains essential advice for working masons and apprentices, and all those engaged in planning and supervising such works. It includes: the basic methods of working stone; how to make specialized tools; the procedures for setting-out for repairs explained; and, the nature and problems of stone plus a guide to selection.

Identifying the Complex Causes of Civil War
A Machine Learning Approach
AvAtin Basuchoudhary,James T. Bangm. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 2021
685 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book uses machine-learning to identify the causes of conflict from among the top predictors of conflict. This methodology elevates some complex causal pathways that cause civil conflict over others, thus teasing out the complex interrelationships between the most important variables that cause civil conflict. Success in this realm will lead to scientific theories of conflict that will be useful in preventing and ending civil conflict. After setting out a current review of the literature and a case for using machine learning to analyze and predict civil conflict, the authors lay out the data set, important variables, and investigative strategy of their methodology. The authors then investigate institutional causes, economic causes, and sociological causes for civil conflict, and how that feeds into their model. The methodology provides an identifiable pathway for specifying causal models. This book will be of interest to scholars in the areas of economics, political science, sociology, and artificial intelligence who want to learn more about leveraging machine learning technologies to solve problems and who are invested in preventing civil conflict.
