Lights on the Champs-Elysees: Slumming in Paris With the Children, Part 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 104min
Lights on the Champs-Elysees - Fourth of seven novellas in the "Slumming in Paris, With the Children" series. Which is Part Five of my "Slumming in Paris" Series. Part 5 is the fourth of seven novellas forming a subset with Slumming in Paris, additionally titled, With the Children. Further, an identifying title "Part" is given to each of the seven in the "With the Children" series. This book is Lights on the Champs-Elysees. The story continues with the children, and the adults having welcomed the arrival of their grandparents and small neighbor child, and the larger expanded family group venturing out into Paris together. A full list of those titles, including all the currently named chapters (rather than numbered as in my previous work) is at the end of each book. Parts 2 through 8 are comprehensive, with an over-arching theme and story of experiencing Paris, and finding what that experience means within. While Part One, Slumming in Paris, Arthur & Gricinda is more obviously focussed on the two adults, Parts 2-8 prominently feature the children. Experiencing Paris is, in this work, both symbolic, and an engulfing immersion all its own. The mystery, for each person who visits this wonderful city, is how to individually reconcile everything they have known before, and hope to know. And knowing in this instance, because there are so many young characters, is a variable thing. And realizing that, that "knowing is a process," for us as people, is, I truly believe, one of the greatest gifts Paris, and fiction, we can receive. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Misunderstood Loner: An Explanation of Schizoid Personality Disorder: Transcend Mediocrity, Book 16 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 30min
Excerpt: You may have seen them. Maybe you are one of them. The teens who prefer to be alone and who avoid making social connections with their peers. The adult who stays in his basement playing videogames or browsing the Internet. The little boy who chases frogs at the pond by himself instead of finding some friends to go fishing with. Maybe it is the woman who surrounds herself with cats and lives deep in the country, rarely venturing into town - even for necessities. Are these people shy, or do they have something that is much more pervasive? Humans, by nature, generally want to be social with others. We thrive on conversation, interaction, and learning from each other. We were designed to be able to pass along our knowledge to the generations that come after us, and we strive to educate ourselves in order to be more sufficient and able to provide for our families or become productive members of society. There is a subset of people who are different from the normal population. Their brains are wired a bit differently, or they went through experiences in their lives that contributed to their introversion, social avoidance, and shyness. They may have been sensitive children who were neglected or abused, never encouraged to learn about the world around them. Their feelings may have been invalidated while they were young, so they learned to keep their emotions inside instead of sharing them with others around them. They learned to be self-sufficient instead of relying on others and on society for their needs. Some of these shy individuals who we classify as loners may be afflicted with a disorder called schizoid personality disorder...." From four-time best-selling author J. B. Snow. ungekürzt.

Crush OCPD: Help for Couples Hindered by Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder: Transcend Mediocrity, Book 92 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 25min
Many of my readers and listeners write to me asking how to better help their spouse or partner who has OCPD. After writing my book on OCPD - 35 Underlying Causes of OCPD, I jumped directly into researching everything that I could in order to help these couples to find a way to grow together. I knew some of the steps that helped OCPD couples because of my own experiences in growing and learning with my OCPD/Aspie spouse, but I wanted to find a much more "big picture" way to approach and "cure" or lessen OCPD tendencies. While doing my research, I stumbled across information on different types of monkeys and apes which explained the various types of brains and levels of empathy, emotional maturity, and social skills that are evident in society today. There are three types of great apes that are said to relate to the different types of personality disorders that are evident if you look at the human race and normal human behaviors. The concept is that the Bonobo apes represent the humans who have traits and tendencies typical of avoidant personality disorder and dependent personality disorder. The chimpanzees represent antisocial personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, and histrionic personality disorders. The last subset of apes that fell on the chart are the orangutans, which are largely representative of paranoid, schizoid, and schizotypal personality disorders. The purpose of looking at this link between human and apes is that it is possible that the differences in human empathy, social skills, and personality are not so much "abnormal" as they are simply slightly more primitive and animalistic in nature.... Essentially, these personality traits that we are classifying as "abnormal" are actually somewhat normal range. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: D Gaunt.

Religions of the World: The History and Beliefs of Hinduism , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 71min
A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? Throughout time, people have been religious by nature, and billions today adhere to unique faiths across the world. In Charles River Editors' Religions of the World, listeners can get caught up to speed on today's religions and yesterday's religions in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. In the west, Hinduism is a religion that everyone has heard of, but one that few nonpractitioners truly understand. Today, it is widely regarded as one of the world's great religions and considered the indigenous religion of India, with practices and beliefs stretching back thousands of years. However, many of these so-called facts are actually erroneous. Hinduism, as it is conceived of today, is a conglomerate of a number of indigenous Indian religions; in fact, prior to the migration of Islam and the corporate invasion of the British, Hinduism may not have existed at all. Rather, a number of local religious traditions had very old belief systems dating back hundreds or thousands of years, depending on the tradition, and many worshiped gods that are no longer worshiped today. In essence, it was only the nonindigenous populations in India, namely the Turks and later the British, who defined what Hinduism was. The British in particular asked only a certain subset of native informants from Bengal "what their religion was" and got a very particular answer, giving rise to the west's perception of a singular religious Indian tradition known as Hinduism. ungekürzt.

Tetrastatum: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 450min
Tetrastatum introduces and uses the principles of PsychothotonixSM which is the measurement and control of human perceptions and related human behavior patterns based on space-time imaging. Both the PsychothotonixSM and photonic effects embedded in the novel are a subset of the accepted laws of physics and extended to augment the entertainment experience. Tetrastatum introduces novice listeners to basic physics concepts as well as puts forth illuminating theories for the most advanced physicist to ponder. Topics include quantum teleportation, the extension of Schrödinger’s wave function to reveal imaginary “thotonic” universes, and much more, giving the listener an understanding of “conscious control”, an invaluable tool sharpening self-empowerment skills leaving one with the knowledge of the certainty of their own ability to alter the future.“People will be immersed in the concepts of translating other parallel universe ideas into visual/image interpretations of external quantum relativity theories.” (Stephen Hawking)What if the laws of physics as we understand them are incomplete, only half of the equations that explain reality? Mankind has been blinded by the light, searching for answers in the photonic (material) universe while the truths are concealed beyond the shutter speed of our biological cameras. One day, an image processor evolves. Schrödinger’s equation is finally interpreted correctly by Dr. Richard revealing that the dualistic imaginary solution prior thereto discarded by physicists is actually the key to mankind’s quest to answer the unanswerable. What happens to me after I die? What is the ultimate source and origin of creation? What is reality? Dr. Richard’s equations bring forth the darkness of the imaginary (non-matter) universes unraveling the mysteries of space-time giving mankind full comprehension of the miraculous nature of the essence of reality, the fourth state, Tetrastatum. Only, Dr. Richard is too l ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Brian Wiggins. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/159168/bk_acx0_159168_sample.mp3.

Deep Machine Learning: A Comprehensive Beginner’s Developer Guide to Deep Machine Learning Algorithms, Concepts and Techniques , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 261min
Are you interested in Machine Learning? Are you fascinated by how robots work? Are you ready to open up to the dynamics of technological change?Machine Learning has been approached in a definitive manner as a subset falling under a larger set of artificial intelligence. It majorly focuses on the aspect of learning of machines basing on the experience and predicting consequences and actions of the machines that revolve around their experience in the past.The field has made it easy for computers and machines to enact decisions that are data driven instead of explicit programming with regard to a particular task. The algorithms and programs are designed to enable machines and computers to learn by themselves. With time, they get to improve when there is an introduction of new and unique data. The learning process applies the use of training data that sustains the coming up of a model. Insertion of new data brings up predictions that are based on the model. This means that machines are given the capability to foretell on their own.The predictions are then examined closely to identify their accuracy. If accuracy receives positive feedback, then the machine learning algorithm is trained over and over again through the assistance of a data training augmented set.Machine learning tasks are broken into various wider categories. Supervised learning aims at coming up with a model that is mathematics of a data set with desired inputs and outputs. Semi-supervised learning aims at coming up with mathematical models from incomplete data training. You will realize that sample inputs miss expected/desired output in such a case.This audiobook will help you understand more about Deep Machine Learning. In the sections of this audiobook, you will be able to get important chapters that include:History of machine learningThe benefitsThe challenges you may encounterApplications of machine learningA ungekürzt.

History's Most Mysterious Secret Societies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 174min
Mysterious and almost invisible, these secret societies changed the course of history! Secret societies have always fascinated us; we want to know why they exist, what they do, and who their members and leaders are. Find out why the secret societies described in this book are worth knowing about. For as long as humans have gathered together to form societies, there has been a subset of people who have formed secret groups. Away from the prying eyes of the main group, these people have formed societies, unions, guilds, leagues, and other organizations with a wide variety of purposes. While some people gather together to drink beer in private and reminisce about the past, other groups have deeper, more complicated, and more nefarious purposes. On occasions such as these, the secret societies become instantly more fascinating. For whatever reason, these groups cannot exist in the public eye. Whether this is because they are breaking the law, because they are operating in a clandestine fashion, or because they fear retribution from other secret societies, they are often the only ones who know. At the time, their ability to remain secret often means the difference between life and death. Now, many years later, we can look back on these secret groups and try to learn exactly what they represented. In this book, we will look into murder, assassinations, political coups, and events that had huge impacts on the history of the world. Behind some of the most tragic events in human history, these secret societies have operated in the shadows. Their influence has been felt in every corner of the world. Secrecy is not endemic to one country or one continent. Instead, all humans have a small part of themselves that craves the secrecy afforded to these groups. But only some of us manage to bond together to form societies such as these. That's why they are remembered as the most mysterious secret societies in the world. ungekürzt. Language: English.
