    What is the nature of unidentified aerial phenomena?Forty years ago a small cadre of dedicated researchers began actively investigating cases, interviewing witnesses, and exchanging data through a small, informal network of international contacts. Today this low-profile network, or "invisible college," has grown into a larger, multi-nation volunteer research effort joined by many individuals. But the questions first raised forty years ago remain current—and unanswered."I believe that a powerful force has influenced the human race in the past and is again influencing it now. Does this force represent alien intervention, or does it originate entirely within human consciousness? This is the question that forms the basis of the work of the Invisible College of UFO researchers."—Jacques Vallee

    After Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin dropped out of college and launched Bitcoin Magazine, he wrote the Ethereum white paper, which proposed an open source protocol that would take what Bitcoin did for money and do it for everything else: contracts, social networks, and sharing economies. Now, less than a decade later, his idea is valued at about half a trillion dollars, and it is the foundation for the weird new world of NFT artworks, virtual real estate, and decentralized autonomous organizations.This book is a collection of essays including "On Free Speech," which creates a whole new standard for free speech and how to protect it;  "Prediction Markets: Tales from the Election," in which Buterin bets on the Trump-Biden election before and after it was decided, and how the prediction markets help explain the political situation today where so many believe Trump won; and the last essay in the book, "Crypto Cities," where Buterin observes the beginnings already in motion of a future where cities governed through blockchain better serve the public good than governing political institutions do today. Understanding and engaging with Buterin's ideas will be of growing importance as the consequences of his invention continue to unfold and inspire debate worldwide.

    How this 4-point method can help you ace the “slipperiest” part of the CNA Exam. 
    Being able to recite the skills of a nursing assistant doesn’t make demonstrating them any easier. That’s why so many candidates struggle to pass the CNA exam. 
    Because even if you’ve completely memorized all the steps and procedures, putting them into action while being evaluated is a completely different story. 
    That’s where this study guide can help. It incorporates a special technique called the “P.A.C.E.” Method that helps candidates master each and every skill in the CNA exam, both written and demonstrated. 
    Inside the audiobook, you’ll discover: 
    ●   How the 4-point P.A.C.E. Method makes it easier to practice and apply common nursing aide skills without needing a crib sheet 
    ●   5 full-length practice tests featuring 300 different questions based on real CNA Exam questions 
    ●   The 6 principles of physical care every nursing assistant should know by heart, and how each one applies to the various basic nursing skills 
    ●   A slight tweak in how you perform your skills that can help ensure you don’t get mistakenly penalized during the demonstration 
    And much more! 
    With 5 full-length practice tests and dozens of extra practice questions, you’ll have a full grasp of what to expect on each section of the exam. You’ll also discover how to use the P.A.C.E. Method to guide your way through the skills portion. 
    If you want to pass your exam and finally become a Certified Nursing Assistant, then you need this audiobook today!
