The Edge of Reality - Two Scientists Evaluate What We Know of the UFO Phenomenon

J. Allen Hynek, Jacques Vallee

Publisher: MUFON

Summary

From the outset, Hynek and Vallee make their position clear: UFOs represent an unknown but real phenomenon. The far-reaching implications take us to the very edge of what we consider known and real in our physical environment. Perhaps, say the authors, UFOs signal the existence of a domain of nature as yet totally unexplored.   In this mind-stretching book, the authors sample UFO reports, including those allegedly involving humanoids, and describe the perceived patterns in the behavior of the phenomenon. They also establish a framework for further study. Where might such study lead? What can be studied, and how? What is the real nature of the UFO phenomenon? Does it originate with the actions of other intelligences in the universe? If so, where and what might they be? Does the UFO phenomenon have a purely physical explanation, or is there a vast, hidden realm that holds the solution?   In this invaluable work, we gain insight into the thinking of Hynek and Vallee’s research and investigations into UFOs, including Project Blue Book, the Pascagoula case, and the Betty and Barney Hill experience

Big Data for Business -...

Craig Dames

Big Data has emerged as a cornerstone of modern business strategy, transforming how organizations operate, make decisions, and engage with customers. At its core, Big Data refers to extremely large and complex data sets that traditional data processing software cannot handle efficiently. It is not just the size of the data that matters, but also its variety, velocity, veracity, and value—commonly known as the five Vs of Big Data. These characteristics define the challenges and opportunities that Big Data presents for businesses. 
The rise of digital technologies, from smartphones to sensors to cloud computing, has dramatically increased the volume of data generated daily. Businesses now have access to data from countless sources including social media platforms, customer transactions, website analytics, mobile apps, and IoT devices. This explosion of data offers unprecedented insight into customer behavior, market trends, and operational performance—if it is captured, managed, and analyzed effectively. 
Understanding the significance of Big Data in business starts with its ability to enable data-driven decision making. Companies no longer need to rely solely on intuition or historical trends. Instead, they can use real-time analytics to predict outcomes, optimize strategies, and respond quickly to changes in the market. This shift toward data-centric thinking can improve efficiency, reduce costs, and create a competitive advantage.

Doing AI - A Business-Centric...

Richard Heimann

When businesses try to "do AI," they place an abstract solution before problems and customers without fully considering whether it is wise, whether the hype is true, or how AI will impact their organization in the long term. Often absent is sound reasoning for why they should go down this path in the first place. 
 
 
  
Doing AI explores AI for what it actually is—and what it is not—and the problems it can truly solve. Author Richard Heimann unravels the tricky relationship between problems and high-tech solutions, exploring the pitfalls in solution-centric thinking and explaining how businesses should rethink AI in a way that aligns with their cultures, goals, and values. 
 
 
  
As the Chief AI Officer at Cybraics Inc., Richard Heimann knows from experience that AI-specific strategies are often bad for business. Doing AI is his comprehensive guide that will help readers understand AI, avoid common pitfalls, and identify beneficial applications for their companies. 
 
 
  
This book is a must-listen for anyone looking for clarity and practical guidance for identifying problems and effectively solving them, rather than getting sidetracked by a shiny new "solution" that doesn't solve anything.

Milo the Magic Mudskipper - A...

Christopher Allen

"Milo, the Magic Mudskipper" is an enchanting nursery rhyme that follows six-year-old siblings Charlie and Daphne on a magical underwater adventure. While crabbing at Mudeford Quay in Dorset, England, the children discover Milo, a talking mudskipper from Australia who has become lost after accidentally boarding a ship that carried him far from his mangrove home.
Milo possesses magical abilities that allow him to share his amphibious powers with the children, enabling them to breathe underwater and embark on a quest to Neptune's palace in the ocean depths. Their mission: to obtain a magical compass that will guide Milo safely home across the vast seas.
The trio faces three challenging trials in Neptune's underwater kingdom: the Riddle Deep, the Trial of Courage, and the Test of Heart. Through these adventures, they learn valuable lessons about friendship, bravery, and selflessness. When faced with choosing between helping Milo or a lost baby whale, they discover that true friendship means putting others' needs first.
Neptune, impressed by their noble hearts, rewards them with multiple magical compasses, ensuring both Milo and the whale can find their way home. The story concludes with Milo's joyful return to Australia and the establishment of a lasting friendship maintained through magical shells that allow the friends to communicate across the oceans.
Written in traditional nursery rhyme style with consistent AABB rhyme schemes, repetitive phrases, and musical rhythm, the tale emphasizes themes of friendship, courage, environmental awareness, and the magic that exists when we help others in need.
The opening music, is a lovely clear female vocal expressing the character of this nursery rhyme runs to nearly four minutes.
The appropriate background flutey music gives a happy atmosphere to the narration, and the closing music is an instrumental version of the same type of genre and instruments as the opening music and runs to about three minutes.
