  How to Make a Killing - Blood...

  Six decades ago, visionary doctors achieved the impossible: the humble kidney, acknowledged since ancient times to be as essential to life as the heart, became the first human organ to be successfully replaced with a machine. Yet huge dialysis corporations, ambitious doctor-entrepreneurs, and Beltway lobbyists soon turned this medical miracle into an early experiment in for-profit medicine—and one of the nation's worst healthcare catastrophes. 
   
   
   
  With powerful insight and on-the-ground reporting, Tom Mueller introduces an unforgettable cast of characters. Heroic patients risk their lives to blow the whistle on how they've been mistreated. An unpaid activist living in a south Georgia trailer park fights to save patients from involuntary discharge from their lifesaving care. Industry insiders put their careers on the line to speak out about the endemic wrongs and pervasive inequality they've witnessed—and about dialysis executives who dress as musketeers and Star Wars characters to exhort their employees to more aggressive profit-seeking. 
   
   
   
  How to Make a Killing reveals dialysis as a microcosm of American medicine and poses a vital challenge: find a way to fix dialysis, and we'll have a fighting chance of fixing our country's dysfunctional healthcare system as a whole, restoring patients, not profits, as its true purpose.

  Everything Green Everything...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Your system is working. Every test passes. The dashboard is green. 
   
  A model refused to answer while the answer sat in front of it, complete and correct, and then invented a data quality problem to justify the refusal, in the register of a careful bug report. A filter identified sensitive material perfectly, labelled it, wrote a log line proving it had seen it, and let it through. An upgrade rewrote the format of more than a quarter of responses while every accuracy test reported a clean migration. A cost model was wrong in two directions at once. 
   
  Six failures. Zero errors. Several of them producing positive evidence of health. 
   
  None of it was hidden. All of it sat in plain text, in fields nobody aggregated, phrased in a way nothing matched, or summarised by a statistic that absorbs exactly that signal. This book is about the class of failure that leaves no trace your monitoring was built to catch, and the five cheap numbers that catch it instead. None of them needs a labelled dataset, a vendor, a budget or anybody's permission. 
   
  The good news is the argument. The unpredictable part of your system was always the small part. The provable part was always most of it, and almost nobody tests it, because the presence of a model made an entire subsystem feel unmeasurable when it is not. 
   
  For engineers and technical leaders running something real, who suspect the green dashboard is not the whole story and want to know exactly where to look.

  Do you spend most of your nights staring at the ceiling and wake up with no energy? If yes, this is the right audio-book for you. 
  Hypnosis is a technique that can be used to promote better sleep by inducing a state of deep relaxation and heightened suggestibility. 
  Here’s how it works:relaxation: the process typically begins with the individual being guided into a relaxed state, often through deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation. This helps reduce stress and tension;focused attention: once relaxed, the hypnotist or the individual focuses on calming imagery or soothing words. This concentration helps to quiet the mind and block out distractions;positive suggestions: in this relaxed state, positive suggestions related to sleep are introduced. These might include affirmations like "I am relaxed and ready for sleep" or visualizations of a peaceful sleeping environment;reinforcement: the suggestions can be repeated or reinforced during the session, helping to create a mental association between the relaxed state and the ability to fall asleep easily;awakening: after the session, the individual is gently brought back to full awareness, often feeling refreshed and more open to the suggestions made during hypnosis. 
  By incorporating these techniques, hypnosis can help alleviate insomnia, reduce anxiety, and promote a more restful sleep.

  City Nature - Tales of Ornery...

  In the midst of ongoing news about Southwestern water scarcity, Martha Retallick sees an opportunity. For 20 years, she has been transforming her central Tucson home into an urban oasis. The secret to her success: Water harvesting. Since Retallick purchased her central Tucson home in 2004, she has incorporated two types of water harvesting – passive and active – into her landscape. Passive water harvesting is simply the act of sculpting the landscape to direct the water to where it should be – like plants – and away from where it shouldn’t be – like a home’s foundation. Retallick’s landscape incorporates three passive water harvesting features – basins, berms, and drainage swales. Collectively, these earthworks eliminate the need for landscape irrigation that’s connected to the municipal water supply, which is served by Tucson Water. According to Tucson Water, approximately 40 percent of water use in Tucson is outdoors. This includes residential uses like landscape irrigation and garden watering. Retallick’s irrigation-free landscape also includes two active water harvesting features, a 1,500-gallon cistern that collects rainwater for use in the back-yard vegetable garden, and a laundry-to-landscape greywater harvesting system that diverts wastewater from the washing machine to three fruit trees. City Nature is illustrated with more than 60 of Retallick’s color photographs, which show the wide variety of plant life on her property, the birds she shares it with, and her various do-it-herself projects, the most notable being a kinetic sculpture created from a recycled chandelier. The book also includes a list of suggested resources that encompasses books, websites, organizations, and businesses that can aid readers interested in desert gardening and landscaping, and in water conservation.
