  Laboratories of Terror explores the final chapter of Stalin's Great Terror in Soviet Ukraine. 
   
   
   
  When the Communist Party Central Committee and the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR halted mass operations in repression in November 1938, large numbers of mainly Communist purge victims whose cases remained incomplete were released. At the same time, hundreds of NKVD operatives who had carried out the Great Terror were scapegoated and arrested. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on materials from the largely closed archives of the Soviet security police, this collection of essays by an international team of researchers illuminates the previously opaque world of the NKVD perpetrator. It uncovers the mechanics and logistics of the terror at the local level by examining the criminal files of a series of mid-level NKVD operatives from across Ukraine. The result offers new perspectives on both Stalin's central role in the architecture of the terror and NKVD perpetrators' agency in implementing one of the most horrific episodes of twentieth-century mass violence.

  In Zen, Zest, Zip, Zap and Zing, Osho responds to questions on love, freedom, morality, women's role in society, nostalgia, a child's right to privacy, the purpose of life, and more. Again and again he nudges the listener back to the essential: Zen – awareness, being here and now. While responding to the concerns of the questioners, Osho also illustrates how nonessential their preoccupations are.
  Whenever questions are academic or "spiritual," Osho hits the questioner's head hard, dismissing such enquiries as games of the ego and even as 'holy cow dung'! Describing how centuries of political and religious slavery have repressed India, Osho lays out a blueprint for the nation to move away from the burdens of the past towards freedom.
  And between the lines, he offers an invitation to live life to the full, to take its challenges head-on and with a sense of humor.

  Over 5000 years before Christ an amazing thing happened that would change the course of human history. 
   
  Hidden from us by misunderstanding, mistranslation and clouded in mythology, the birth of religion on this planet was no mere accident. It was the result of an alien invasion on a vast scale and it sparked the worship of the ancient gods. Those gods are the oldest recorded figures of worship anywhere in history. They are the root of all the major world religions. They gave rise to the great powers of Egypt, Mesopotamia and more. They spread outwards around the world and were the genesis of a special holy bloodline that remains with us today. 
   
  One of their descendants would be caught, beaten and crucified. And yet he would rise from his grave, unrecognisable and accompanied by messengers of light. He would ascend in the sky having cast off his shrouded skin. His bloodline would give rise to the royal families of the entire world. His bloodline would be protected, defended and would control the globe. 
   
  He was a descendant of the great serpent elite, who came to earth as beings of light to teach mankind. He was a descendant of the great giant killer, David. A memory of a great battle that was fought between the serpent elite and the sons of alien and man. 
   
  They were known as giants in the land. The aliens escaped earth but left behind their seed and tools of power and communication. It is prophesied that they shall return and the signs are growing daily that they have returned and are right now dealing with their own elite bloodline - the men in power. 
   
  This is the untold story of a very real and ancient alien invasion.

  Cyborg - The MIT Press Essential...

  This introduction to cyborg theory provides a critical vantage point for analyzing the claims around emerging technologies like automation, robots, and AI. Cyborg analyzes and reframes popular and scholarly conversations about cyborgs from the perspective of feminist cyborg theory. Drawing on their combined decades of training, teaching, and research in the social sciences, design, and engineering education, Laura Forlano and Danya Glabau introduce an approach called critical cyborg literacy. Critical cyborg literacy foregrounds power dynamics and pays attention to the ways that social and cultural factors such as gender, race, and disability shape how technology is imagined, developed, used, and resisted. 
   
   
   
  Forlano and Glabau offer critical cyborg literacy as a way of thinking through questions about the relationship between humanity and technology. Cyborg examines whether modern technologies make us all cyborgs—if we consider, for instance, the fact that we use daily technologies at work, have technologies embedded into our bodies in health care applications, or use technology to critically explore possibilities as artists, designers, activists, and creators. Lastly, Cyborg offers perspectives from critical race, feminist, and disability thinkers to help chart a path forward for cyborg theory in the twenty-first century.
