  A compelling story of one family's determination to save their grumpy old horse against all odds. 
  The Baker family bought Denver to be a family horse, and he took care of their children for several years as well as he could. So when, in a freak trailer accident, Denver injured himself badly, the family was upset. 
  Denver's girl, Tessa, was devastated.  
  Sadly, his injury was difficult to diagnose, and once they finally figured out what was wrong, it was so rare that it didn't really have an established treatment. The vets suggested the Bakers put him down, since he was old, and frankly, not so great. He hadn't been expnsive, and the experimental treatment they thought might save him was risky, long term, and expensive.  
  The Baker family decided to take a gamble on their beloved horse anyway.  
  The decision changed all their lives, and it blessed them in ways they never expected. Join Denver and Bridget as they tell the story from dual POVs. It will break your heart, but it will heal it again and then some.

  Artificial You - AI and the...

  "Entertaining and profound."—Martin Rees, Astronomer Royal
  
  Hailed by the Washington Post as "a sure-footed and witty guide to slippery ethical terrain."
  
  This audiobook narrated by Katherine Fenton take you on a philosophical exploration of AI and the future of the mind
  
  Humans may not be Earth's most intelligent beings for much longer: the world champions of chess, Go, and Jeopardy! are now all AIs. Given the rapid pace of progress in AI, many predict that it could advance to human-level intelligence within the next several decades. From there, it could quickly outpace human intelligence. What do these developments mean for the future of the mind?
  
  In Artificial You, Susan Schneider says that it is inevitable that AI will take intelligence in new directions, but urges that it is up to us to carve out a sensible path forward. As AI technology turns inward, reshaping the brain, as well as outward, potentially creating machine minds, it is crucial to beware. Homo sapiens, as mind designers, will be playing with "tools" they do not understand how to use: the self, the mind, and consciousness. Schneider argues that an insufficient grasp of the nature of these entities could undermine the use of AI and brain enhancement technology, bringing about the demise or suffering of conscious beings. To flourish, we must grasp the philosophical issues lying beneath the algorithms.
  
  At the heart of her exploration is a sober-minded discussion of what AI can truly achieve: Can robots really be conscious? Can we merge with AI, as tech leaders like Elon Musk and Ray Kurzweil suggest? Is the mind just a program? Examining these thorny issues, Schneider proposes ways we can test for machine consciousness, questions whether consciousness is an unavoidable byproduct of sophisticated intelligence, and considers the overall dangers of creating machine minds.

Its professionally use as an instrument to scrape people's pores and skin, it is said to have a therapeutic advantage. The procedure of this particular medication has a French name called tribo-effleurage. Gua-sha is an all-natural option therapy that involves scraping your skin layer with a therapeutic massage tool to boost your blood circulation. This ancient Chinese curing technique provides a unique method of better health and also dealing with issues like chronic pain.In gua-sha, a technician scrapes your skin layer with brief or long strokes to stimulate microcirculation of the smooth cells, which increases blood circulation; they make these strokes with a smooth-edged device known as a Gua-therapeutic massage tool, the specialist applies massage essential oil to your skin layer, and then uses the tool to scrape your skin layer in a downward movement frequently. Gua-sha is supposed to handle stagnant energy, called chi; professionals believe that this “chi” is responsible for swellings in any part of the body; swelling is the reason behind several conditions associated with chronic pain. Massaging the skin’s surface is considered to help split up this energy, reduce irritation, and promote recovery.Gua-sha is usually performed on the back, buttocks, neck, hands, and legs; a mild version from it is even applied to the facial skin as a cosmetic technique. Your specialist may apply moderate pressure, and steadily increase strength to regulate how much pressure you are designed for.
