  What Was Your First Memory of Race?This opening question is the heart and soul of “Room at the Table.” The word equity is thrown around in multiple media outlets, corporations, and non-profits. Diversity, Equity, Inclusion… Many shy away from these terms, convinced that they already understand. In truth, these concepts are a mystery to most. It’s more important than ever to grasp the vital, far-reaching aim of the equity lens. What does this work look like? What does it sound like? What actions must equity leaders take to turn the future of leadership into a reality?With public health injustices on the rise, grounded equity leadership can forge the path to a more healthy, understanding, and effective outlook for all of our futures. In her groundbreaking work, Dr. Renee Branch Canady, CEO of the Michigan Public Health Institute, shares through research and candid stories what it’s like to be on the front lines as an equity public health leader. In a culture centered on optics, Dr. Canady brings to light the true act of doing for the sake of change.Points of focus include:• The innovative concept of “Leadering” • Using our outrage to enact change • Seeing, saying, and doing differently • Acting courageously in the face of institutional racism • Leading with authenticity • Harboring the conviction to move equity work forward, one step at a timeIn Dr. Canady’s words, “Health equity leadership is a new leadership in this space that’s predicated by what’s happening at this moment. It hasn’t happened before. Focusing on others, a willingness to be courageous, and a willingness to do something that hasn’t been done before is a grey space in health equity leadership.”“Room at the Table” addresses this grey space with unflinching honestly and hope.

  Are you curious about Fluids and Electrolytes?Would you like to be able to understand them once and for all?‍If so, then keep reading! 
  Biofluids are one of the main components of the body's metabolical and regulatory mechanisms that regulate homeostasis. Their circulation, composition, and style of activities vary, so it is necessary to study the mode of circulation and what these changes in body fluids imply in reality. 
  Even the slightest imbalances in body fluid composition can reveal hidden and underlying conditions that can't be discovered otherwise. 
  That is why it's important to know at all times what every deviation means. Since it is impossible to store every bit of information in your brain, you might need quick access to such information – that's what this practical guide offers.This guide is written from a skilled nurse's personal experience so that you can have easy access to all essential information at all times.This practical medical audiobook can offer you: 
  ✅ Way to refresh your knowledge on basic medical concepts regarding bodily fluids 
  ✅ Quick access to relevant information (abbreviations, measurements, etc.) 
  ✅ Easy access to referent values of their composition – serum sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium, etc. 
  ✅ Easy way to reference increased and decreased values with clinical implications and factors that can affect results 
  ✅ Quick way to review or update yourself on some concepts and procedures 
  If you want to stay on the top of your game and be the expert that you and your patient deserve to be, then this practical guide is a Must-Have in your collection.

  An influential scientist in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) explains its fundamental concepts and how it is changing culture and society. 
   
   
   
  A particular form of AI is now embedded in our tech, our infrastructure, and our lives. How did it get there? Where and why should we be concerned? And what should we do now? The Shortcut: Why Intelligent Machines Do Not Think Like Us provides an accessible yet probing exposure of AI in its prevalent form today, proposing a new narrative to connect and make sense of events that have happened in the recent tumultuous past, and enabling us to think soberly about the road ahead. 
   
   
   
  This book is divided into ten carefully crafted and easily digestible chapters. Each chapter grapples with an important question for AI. Ranging from the scientific concepts that underpin the technology to wider implications for society, it develops a unified description using tools from different disciplines and avoiding unnecessary abstractions or words that end with -ism. The book uses real examples wherever possible, introducing the listener to the people who have created some of these technologies and to ideas shaping modern society that originate from the technical side of AI. It contains important practical advice about how we should approach AI in the future without promoting exaggerated hypes or fears.

  The Future of Robotics - Trends...

  The story of robotics begins long before the first programmable machines. Ancient myths and early mechanical inventions hinted at humanity’s fascination with artificial beings. However, the real journey started during the Industrial Revolution, when mechanized tools began to change how humans worked. These early systems weren’t true robots, but they laid the groundwork for what would come. As electricity, computing, and engineering advanced in the 20th century, robotics emerged as a distinct and rapidly growing field. 
  The first generation of robots were largely industrial machines—mechanical arms programmed to perform repetitive tasks in factories. Introduced in the 1950s and 60s, these robots revolutionized manufacturing. They worked tirelessly on assembly lines, improving productivity and safety. Though not intelligent by today’s standards, they marked a turning point by taking on tasks traditionally done by human hands. This era showcased the robot as a tool—precise, consistent, and dependable in controlled environments. 
  The late 20th and early 21st centuries saw major breakthroughs that transformed robotics from rigid machines into adaptive systems. The rise of microprocessors, sensors, and more sophisticated programming enabled robots to interact with their environment. No longer confined to factory floors, they began to appear in fields like space exploration, surgery, and even homes. The introduction of AI brought a fundamental shift. Robots could now learn from data, recognize patterns, and make decisions. This leap allowed them to handle complex, dynamic tasks—like navigating unknown terrain or assisting in delicate operations.
