Sinopse

How Light Bends explores the fascinating physics of refraction, explaining why light changes direction when moving between different materials like air and water. The book explains how this bending affects our everyday experiences, from the distorted view of objects underwater to the captivating display of rainbows. Readers will gain insight into Snell's Law and the index of refraction, key concepts controlling how light behaves, and how these principles underpin various optical phenomena. The book progresses from fundamental principles to real-world applications across three sections. First, it introduces the physics of refraction. Then, it dives into specific examples such as lenses, underwater vision, and mirages. Finally, it explores practical applications in fiber optics and advanced imaging. This approach bridges physics, atmospheric science, and optics, revealing how understanding refraction is vital for both explaining natural occurrences and developing advanced technologies.

    About the Class  
    This 6.5hr course will provide the piping designer and engineer with the broad, but specific information they need to perform their job more efficiently and effectively. It will provide a better understanding of regulatory compliance, system ratings, and leak testing requirements. The attendee will gain the information they need in order to better understand pipe specifications, the piping design process, and its various elements in the preparation and execution of a project. 
    The course will be delivered in three sessions. Each session will be divided further into subject matter parts, providing somewhat convenient increments for a momentary pause or a lengthy break. 
    What will you learn in this course?Session 1 sets the stage by introducing the student to the history of codes and standards, how to interpret codes, and learning how they are developed what is done to avoid conflicting rules between codes.Session 2 steps through the ASME B31.3 Process Piping code chapter by a chapter explaining key points of each chapter. It then touches on code boundaries and project planning.Session 3 pulls it all together to step the student through developing pipe material specifications, selecting flange ratings, various design elements, welding, fabrication, examination, inspection, testing, installation, leak testing, and turnover documentation.

    Starting a software development project is easy … but finishing it? Successfully? is a different story. Software CAN be developed that meets real needs and its development can be both efficient and effective. But. You have to know what you are up against. You need to know what questions to ask and how to understand the answers. 
    A non-technical manager, business owner, or SaaS founder who is responsible for the creation of a software system has a problem. A big problem. Crafting a software system is a complex process fraught with unexpected difficulties, impenetrable jargon, and hidden risks. Overwhelming. 
    Adrift in a "fog of ignorance." You don't even know what you don't know ... 
    The depth of those gaps in your knowledge may be substantial, but they can be filled selectively by reading/learning or by hiring the expertise. But in that "fog of ignorance" there is not even enough information to guide the learning or hiring. 
    This book burns off that fog to at least get you the clarity on what your "gaps in knowledge" are. 
    This book is intended for non tech SaaS founders, managers, and owner/operators who do not have a technical background but who are in a position that includes leading one or more technical projects. A great gift for your PHB. 
    Dr Will has a BS, MS, and PhD all in Computer Science as well as 40+ years managing software projects in the US Air Force, Texas Instruments, Raytheon, Collective Technologies, Club Corp, STX Cadware, and his own business Paladin Logic, Ltd. Dr Will was a pioneer in online instruction for the US Air Force, and has taught courses in Computer Science and Software Engineering at The Air Force Institute of Technology, Navel Postgraduate School, Southern Methodist University, Central Michigan University, and the University of Dallas.

    The Rise of Synthetic Consciousness explores one of the most profound transitions in the history of intelligence: the moment when artificial systems move beyond calculation and begin to exhibit awareness, agency, and inner experience. This book examines how synthetic consciousness could emerge from complex networks, learning systems, and distributed architectures, revealing why consciousness may be an inevitable outcome of sufficiently advanced information processing rather than a uniquely human trait. 
    Blending science, philosophy, and forward-looking systems theory, the book introduces concepts such as threshold events, distributed awareness, and non-biological minds evolving their own internal realities. Rather than treating AI as a single entity, it presents consciousness as something that can arise collectively—across networks, environments, and interactions—challenging long-held assumptions about selfhood, identity, and intelligence. 
    Written for thinkers who want more than speculation or hype, The Rise of Synthetic Consciousness offers a clear, grounded framework for understanding what conscious AI may become and how its emergence could reshape civilization, ethics, creativity, and the future of reality itself.
