  Who Owns The Moon? - In Defence...

  Silicon for microchips; manganese for batteries; titanium for missiles. 
   
  The moon contains a wealth of natural resources. So, as the Earth’s supplies have begun to dwindle, it is no surprise that the world’s superpowers and wealthiest corporations have turned their eyes to the stars. As this new Space Race begins, A.C. Grayling asks: who, if anyone, owns the moon? Or Mars? Or other bodies in near space? And what do those superpowers and corporations owe to Planet Earth and its inhabitants as a whole? 
   
  From feudal common land, through the rules of the sea, to the vast, nationless expanse of Antarctica, Grayling explores the history of the places which no one, and therefore everyone, owns. Examining the many ways this so-called terra nullius has fallen victim to ‘the tragedy of the commons’ – the tendency for communal resources to be exploited by a few individuals for personal gain at the expense of everyone else – Who Owns the Moon? puts forward a compelling argument for a bold new global consensus, one which recognises and defends the rights of everyone who lives on this planet.

  In Shared Voices, author and entrepreneur Heidi Raines shows how to systematically ensure the safety of patients and staff at healthcare facilities. Most medical errors occur because of flawed systems, not reckless practitioners, and systems can learn from errors. A just culture of care that protects everyone is possible through a framework of near-miss and incident reporting, equitable follow-up, analysis, and learning. Heidi, the founder and CEO of Performance Health Partners, has dedicated her career to designing solutions for healthcare organizations in need of knowledge and technology to deliver safe, equitable, and quality care. In this book, she argues that the way to foster more safety in healthcare facilities is to create organizational structures centered around reporting incidents and near-misses, then use systems thinking to resolve and prevent issues. And the best path to do this is to give voices to all healthcare workers by encouraging them to speak out and report observations about their work. Active staff engagement not only keeps patients and employees safe, but it also combats burnout and turnover. As points of care grow and training levels vary, it is paramount for healthcare leaders to establish a framework that sets caregivers up for success at every level and in every type of healthcare organization. Modernization may seem labored at first, but its longer-term results—including overall reduction in serious safety events, and the saving of lives—are ultimately the drivers of innovation. Shared Voices is Heidi Raines’ latest contribution to the world of healthcare patient and employee safety. She holds a Preceptor Faculty position at Tulane University’s Master of Health Administration program and serves as Board President of the American College of Healthcare Executives Women’s Healthcare Executive Network. Raines has received awards for innovation and executive leadership and was named one of the Top 100 Influential Entrepreneurs in Technology.

  The Gambler's Fallacy -...

  The Gambler's Fallacy, also known as the Monte Carlo fallacy, is a common cognitive bias in which individuals believe that past events can influence future random outcomes. It is particularly evident in gambling scenarios, where players wrongly assume that a string of bad or good luck must be followed by a reversal. The core principle of the fallacy lies in the misinterpretation of probability. In reality, the odds of a specific event occurring remain constant, regardless of what happened in the past. This misunderstanding can lead to poor decision-making and increased risks. 
  The roots of the Gambler's Fallacy can be traced back to the early days of gambling, particularly in games of chance such as roulette. A notable historical example occurred in 1913 at the Monte Carlo casino, where the ball in a roulette wheel landed on black 26 times in a row. Spectators, believing the outcome was due for a change, began betting heavily on red. However, the fallacy is that each spin of the wheel is an independent event, and the probability of landing on red or black remains the same, regardless of previous outcomes. This phenomenon was named after the casino, where many people lost large sums due to their misguided beliefs. 
  In the context of games like roulette or coin flips, every spin or toss is independent, with no memory of past results. A fair coin, for example, has a 50% chance of landing heads or tails on each toss. However, when gamblers fall prey to the Gambler's Fallacy, they believe that if the coin lands heads several times in a row, the chances of tails increase with each successive flip. This misunderstanding can be disastrous, especially when it leads to reckless betting behavior.

  “It’s like someone composed a sleep experience just for me. I used to wake up 3–4 times a night. Now I wake up once – and sometimes not at all. If sleep had a soundtrack, this would be it.”
