The Sentinel State -...

Minxin Pei

China watchers long argued that economic liberalization and prosperity would be harbingers of democracy. Instead, the Communist Party's grip has strengthened. How? The answer lies in the effectiveness of the surveillance state. And the source of that effectiveness is not just facial recognition AI and phone tracking. Technology is important, but what matters more is China's vast army of domestic spies.Central government surveillance data is confidential, so Minxin Pei turned to local reports, police gazettes, leaked documents, and interviews with exiled dissidents to provide a detailed look at the evolution, organization, and tactics of the surveillance state. Following the 1989 Tiananmen uprising, the Party invested in a coercive apparatus operated by a small number of secret police capable of mobilizing millions of citizen informants. The Party's Leninist bureaucratic structure—whereby officials and activists penetrate every sector of the economy and civil society, from universities to delivery companies to monasteries—ensures that Beijing's eyes and ears are everywhere.Rigorously empirical and rich in historical insight, The Sentinel State is a singular contribution to our knowledge about Chinese state coercion and, more generally, the survival strategies of authoritarian regimes.

The Hundred Years' War - England...

Harris Ropes

The Hundred Years' War, a conflict that lasted from 1337 to 1453, was shaped by a variety of complex political, social, and dynastic factors. It was not a war that emerged overnight but rather a culmination of long-standing tensions between England and France. At the heart of the conflict were competing territorial claims, royal succession disputes, and issues of sovereignty that had been simmering for centuries.
One of the most significant catalysts for the war was the feudal system that governed both England and France. In the medieval period, rulers held vast territories that often extended beyond their borders, which led to intricate relationships between monarchs and their vassals. The English monarchy, under King Edward III, had long-held claims to the French throne due to the inheritance of the Duchy of Guyenne, which was located in the southwest of France. This land, granted to the English king by the French crown centuries earlier, became a point of contention when King Philip VI of France attempted to assert control over it. The French monarchy's desire to regain full sovereignty over its territory clashed with the English king’s interests, setting the stage for the war.
Additionally, the death of the French king Charles IV in 1328 sparked a succession crisis. The French throne was left without a direct male heir, leading to a dispute over the rightful successor. The French crown passed to Philip VI, but Edward III, the King of England, claimed that his mother, Isabella, was the sister of Charles IV and thus, he had a stronger claim to the throne. This dynastic dispute became the primary reason for the conflict, as Edward III demanded recognition of his claim.

"HEART WANT - LOGIC DOES NOT...

Saikhul Mabrur

Both, namely the Heart and Mind, are the basic ingredients for forming a humble person. 
The heart is like a small child who if left alone will endanger himself and others, Mind is like a 
parent who if there are no children, the completeness of the family becomes unbalanced. The 
heart will be good if it comes from wise directions at the level of reason, but it will be bad if it 
comes from directions to the lack of understanding of the Mind. 
This reason is also developed into a beautiful sentence from the scholars of wisdom, namely 
العقل السليم فى الجسم التسليم 
"A good reason is found in a good body" 
in that sentence, there are those who say that its application is very dialectical, meaning that not 
only is the reason mentioned first, all humans are able to implement it. the meaning of that 
sentence is that the body can be the first application. dialectic is one of the evidences of a fact 
where something cannot be 
a thing that stops statically or definitely, it is so easy to move position from the beginning to 
point A to point B, from being at point B a minute later it can be positioned at 
point A, the most important part in this case is Nothing Is Out of the Participation 
of the Almighty. Namely "a good body is very strongly bound to a good mind" 
then it becomes; 
الجسم السليم فى العقل التسليم 
According to the famous Cultural Expert and Scholar Emha Ainun Nadjib, the following are the 
various kinds of inversions of a dialectic, which are the diversity of perspectives and ways of 
thinking of every human being who is willing to process it, for the sake of continuity and 
suitability of a life path that is carried out.

Drawing on cutting-edge research, personal anecdotes, and cultural analysis, it delves into the psychological, social, and ethical dimensions of porn's allure, revealing how it both mirrors and molds our attitudes toward desire, intimacy, and self-worth. 
From exploring the evolutionary roots of sexual curiosity to dissecting the modern impact of virtual reality and AI-generated content, the chapters highlight the complex interplay between fantasy and reality.

Whether you're seeking to deepen your self-awareness, improve communication in your relationships, or engage in meaningful cultural dialogue, this book provides a roadmap for harnessing the creative potential of fantasy while embracing the rich, imperfect authenticity of human connection.
