Sinopse

Mirror Reflection History explores the fascinating story of mirrors, from ancient reflective surfaces to modern glass creations, revealing their profound impact on culture and self-perception. The book journeys through the science behind increasingly clear reflections, the diverse roles mirrors have played across cultures, and the philosophical implications of seeing ourselves reflected back. 

 
It's intriguing to learn how early civilizations meticulously polished volcanic glass to create mirrors, while European glassmakers guarded their mirror-making techniques as national secrets. The book emphasizes that the history of mirrors reflects humanity's evolving self-awareness. 

 
As mirrors became more accessible, they fostered new forms of self-scrutiny and artistic expression, altering how humans interacted with their image and, by extension, the world. 

 
The book begins by introducing the physics of reflection and early mirror examples, then explores their cultural significance in ancient civilizations, and finally examines the scientific breakthroughs that led to modern glass mirrors and their psychological impact.

    The issue of Cybersecurity is of paramount importance in the digital age. With near-continuous revelations about incidents and breaches in the media, organizations and individuals are faced with the challenge of finding the balance between risk, innovation, and cost. At the same time, the field of cybersecurity is undergoing dramatic changes, demanding that organizations embrace new practices and skill sets. 
      
    In this book, I will explore the basics of Cybersecurity and discuss how ordinary people and organizations can best ensure the safety and security of their data. By examining numerous studies, reports, and surveys, I will argue that organizations must embrace a comprehensive approach to cyber security that considers the ever-changing nature of the threat landscape. In the following chapters, it explains the fundamentals of Cybersecurity, and then discuss several case studies on the more prominent security breaches in the last few years to show what can happen to a business.

    Recently, I learned about General Artificial Intelligence and the implications it will have in our lives. The array of opinions crosses the full spectrum from the wonderful ways it will improve our lives to the fear it could unleash a ‘Self-Controlled Superintelligence’ that may not align itself with human social and ethical constructs. This subject is fast moving rocket and it is important that everyone understands some key terms when it comes to Artificial Intelligence. Whether you know it or not, AI touches your lives today and in future, will increase exponentially as it exerts this massive influence in our lives. 
    In addition, being a student of Economics and Business, I always seek to refresh my knowledge of key terms in these areas. Economics, Business and Politics overlap a great deal in academia and in real-world applications. Artificial Intelligence will add for the better bringing the fields of Business, Politics and Economics together for the betterment of society. 
    Contained within is a small list of common terms in the areas of Economics, Business and Artificial Intelligence. Political terms are not included here but you will read some definitions of Economics that do have an overlap of political inferences. 
    I hope these terms and definitions provide some insight into the world of economics, business, and artificial intelligence. They all affect your lives more than you realize.

    A Dusty Tomes Audio BookIn Cooperation with Spoken Realms 
    Official Guidebook of the San Diego Zoo by Zoological Society of San Diego, 1927.  
    It is in the public domain. 
    This is a lovely piece of history of the renowned zoo. Easily noted are the magnificent donations of Ellen B. Scripps and the great time and energy of Dr. Harry Wegeforth among others. 
    Narrated by Joseph Tabler 
    Dusty Tomes Audio Books are public domain books retrieved from history. If today’s technology had been available when first printed, they would be audio books already. I am grateful for the opportunity to record them now. Read online at archive.org 
    Narrator’s Note: I read only as written. These old books were once solid sellers for bookmen of their time. I believe they can shed light on their times and ours. Loving obscure and remote literature, they are a distinct pleasure for me to read to you. These turn out to be distant and unknown only so long as they remain unread or unheard. Aloha.

  • Practice the Pause - Jesus' Contemplative Practice New Brain Science and What It Means to Be Fully Human - cover

    Practice the Pause - Jesus'...

    These days, many of us live in a state of overreactive fight-or-flight response and chronic stress. The demands of modern life pull us in all directions and can often put the meaningful connections in our lives at risk—connections to our deepest selves, to others, and even to God. 
     
     
     
    But there is good news. New developments in brain science have recently proven that an intentional practice of pausing for a few minutes of meditation, prayer, or other contemplative practice actually rewires our brain in ways that make us calmer, less reactive, and better able to see the bigger picture. 
     
     
     
    In Practice the Pause, spiritual director and writer Caroline Oakes offers easy-to-understand explanations of how this new brain science is confirming what every spiritual tradition has been telling us for millennia: by practicing the pause, we become more self-aware and better able to understand others. We become more "God aware." With a refreshing focus on the Eastern Christian understanding of Jesus as a master of wisdom, Oakes shines a spotlight on Jesus's own centering pause practice as a transformative path for personal and social change. We learn that even a seven-second pause practice can move us beyond the fight-or-flight responses of our ego in our daily lives and actually equip us to cultivate the common good in the world.
