A Glimpse Into The Real World Of A Dented Pearl

Rejection, Heartbreak, Trauma, Joy, Healthy Relationships, etc. all the things that we experience but not really talked about. In this book I talk about the topics that we as humans like to avoid. I write about what I have learned, saw and experienced in my 17 years of life and let me tell you it is A LOT.

A Turing Award-winning computer scientist and statistician shows how understanding causality has revolutionized science and will revolutionize artificial intelligence "Correlation is not causation." This mantra, chanted by scientists for more than a century, has led to a virtual prohibition on causal talk. Today, that taboo is dead. The causal revolution, instigated by Judea Pearl and his colleagues, has cut through a century of confusion and established causality -- the study of cause and effect -- on a firm scientific basis. His work explains how we can know easy things, like whether it was rain or a sprinkler that made a sidewalk wet; and how to answer hard questions, like whether a drug cured an illness. Pearl's work enables us to know not just whether one thing causes another: it lets us explore the world that is and the worlds that could have been. It shows us the essence of human thought and key to artificial intelligence. Anyone who wants to understand either needs The Book of Why.

Inspired by the true story of Alice Diamond and the Forty Elephants, the first all-female gang of London. London in the 1920s is no place for a woman with a mind of her own. Gang wars, violence, and an unforgiving world have left pickpocket Alice Diamond scrambling to survive in the Mint, the gritty neighborhood her family has run for generations. When her father goes to jail yet again and her scam artist brother finds himself in debt to the dangerous McDonald crime syndicate, Alice takes over. Fighting for power at every turn, she struggles to protect her father’s territory and keep the people she loves safe from some of London’s most dangerous criminals. Recruited by the enigmatic Mary Carr, Alice boldly chooses to break her father’s edict against gangs and become part of a group of notorious lady shoplifters, the Forty Elephants. Leaving the Mint behind, she and the other girls steal from the area’s poshest department stores, and for the first time in her life, Alice Diamond tastes success. But it’s not long before she wants more—no matter the cost. And when her past and present collide, there’s no escaping the girl from the Mint.

Biodiversity Institutes for Conservation and Education (BICE) is a concept for a non-profit business solution addressing today’s pressing environmental problems such as biodiversity loss, ecosystem/habitat degradation, climate change, and related issues. The concept of BICE is to directly involve communities, of all sizes, in the responsible stewardship of endangered and threatened species, subspecies, and distinct population segments. This is accomplished through a community’s adoption of one of BICE’s many pre-planned taxonomic institutes; large, medium, and small. BICE designs, plans, and develops zoological facilities called “institutes” accommodating particular taxonomic groups, as well as designs and develops larger “full-fledged” biodiverse zoos, aquariums, and natural history museums. Every citizen and every community can be actively involved in a well-orchestrated, well-designed system of species conservation, and enjoy the holistic benefits of reconnecting with nature. BICE’s mission statement is as follows; “Our Mission at BICE is to promote and integrate research, outreach, and education while conserving the world’s biodiversity and natural resources, with emphasis on the most imperiled, through captive breeding and applied conservation.”
