Do extreme, unethical governmental policies often produce results opposite to those intended? This book considers the ironic outcomes of recent global events and concludes that there is a 'rule of reverse results' at work. While not a hard and fast law, the rule points out the increased probability that a policy will backfire if it is immoral while ethical policies, even if extreme, are unlikely to produce reverse results. The issue here is that of increased likelihood but not of certainty. Governments can never be sure as to the effects of their actions: to some extent they are always working in the dark. But if the motivation is right, moral and humane the policies will not often produce adverse results the opposite of those intended. Based on events in global history in the Twentieth and Twenty-First centuries the chapters can each be read individually, as well as being part of the argument.

Machine Learning by Tom M. Mitchell,Jaime G. Carbonell,Ryszard S. Michalski Pdf
One of the currently most active research areas within Artificial Intelligence is the field of Machine Learning. which involves the study and development of computational models of learning processes. A major goal of research in this field is to build computers capable of improving their performance with practice and of acquiring knowledge on their own. The intent of this book is to provide a snapshot of this field through a broad. representative set of easily assimilated short papers. As such. this book is intended to complement the two volumes of Machine Learning: An Artificial Intelligence Approach (Morgan-Kaufman Publishers). which provide a smaller number of in-depth research papers. Each of the 77 papers in the present book summarizes a current research effort. and provides references to longer expositions appearing elsewhere. These papers cover a broad range of topics. including research on analogy. conceptual clustering. explanation-based generalization. incremental learning. inductive inference. learning apprentice systems. machine discovery. theoretical models of learning. and applications of machine learning methods. A subject index IS provided to assist in locating research related to specific topics. The majority of these papers were collected from the participants at the Third International Machine Learning Workshop. held June 24-26. 1985 at Skytop Lodge. Skytop. Pennsylvania. While the list of research projects covered is not exhaustive. we believe that it provides a representative sampling of the best ongoing work in the field. and a unique perspective on where the field is and where it is headed.
From the author of "The Secret Life of Your Blood Sugar" comes a practical guide to reversing type 2 diabetes. The results submitted by Newcastle University Professor Roy Taylor, at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes meeting in Lisbon, on September 11, 2017, conclusively prove that type 2 diabetes can be reversed. If you are reading these lines, you want to reverse your diabetes. YOU Can Do It! There are many reasons why well-meaning people, including your nearest and dearest, will do all they can to discourage you from trying to reverse your type 2 diabetes: - They think that reversing diabetes may be possible, but they don't believe that you have it in you to do it. - They worry that you may harm yourself attempting it. - They have tried to fight their own diabetes and have failed; so if you succeed, what will that say about them? - They don't believe that it can be done—not because they know anything you don't know, but on the strength of unsupported generic statements they found on the web, or based on things they have "heard". - They are wary of the changes that you may have to make. But in most cases, type 2 diabetes can be reversed, as you will learn if you read this book. To beat diabetes you need a program that is personalized, sustainable, and enjoyable. There is no "one size fits all" solution, and if you try to follow rules prescribed by the experts, you're bound to fail. This book will give you the tools you need to engineer your own solution, one that you can take for the long haul and feel good about, which will guide you on the path to reversing diabetes. The Facts This book is not a theoretical dissertation. It relates my personal experience. I started out with a startling 12.1% HbA1C and 312 mg/dl fasting glucose. Now, my HbA1C is 5.7% and my fasting glucose is in the 90s, without any diabetes medication. You can do the same. To learn how, download a free sample of this book. A word of warning: This book is not for you, if you expect to find a magic formula between its pages that will let you effortlessly fix your problem. It will tell you many things that you need to know; it will give you important information and will teach you how to use it to pursue your own solution. But no miracles are included. Getting well comes with hard work. No Quick Fix While eating right is a central component of every cure, it is not sufficient. To make it work, you must make a number of changes to your day, to the way in which you approach exercise, stress, and other factors. You need a plan that YOU can work with and which is right for YOU. I have come up with a simple way to find the path that was right for me and I have collected in this book all the information you need to find your own. Find out if you can reverse your diabetes It only took me less than two weeks to realize that I was on the right path. Don't you want to find out if you can do it too? Not everybody can succeed. It takes strength of character and resolve to do it, but if you believe in yourself, you can reverse type 2 diabetes. Fighting your disease instead of giving in to it is a big decision, so you shouldn't make it on the basis of this short explanation.

Production and Comprehension of Utterances (RLE Linguistics B: Grammar) by I.M. Schlesinger Pdf
In this volume, the author reviews the results of research on language performance and proposes a model of production and comprehension. Although recent developments in linguistics are taken into account, consideration of other requirements of a performance model leads to the conclusion that the grammar the speaker has in mind differs from the grammar as currently conceived of by most linguists. The author is also critical of recent computer simulations of language performance on the basis that they fall short of describing what goes on in human production and comprehension. The author therefore proposes that the basic issues must be rethought and new theoretical foundations reformulated, in order to arrive at a viable theory of language functioning. In developing the framework of the model presented in this book, requirements of flexibility in the performance mechanisms, the probabilistic nature of comprehension processes, and the interleaving of linguistic rules with context and knowledge of the world are emphasized.
Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty by Stefano Gumina,Federico Alberto Grassi,Paolo Paladini Pdf
This handbook fully investigates reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA), presenting all the recent advances in the field to enable shoulder surgeons to treat patients with complex conditions, such as rotator cuff tears and instability, failed surgery and combined arthritis, or proximal humerus neoplasia. Reverse shoulder arthroplasty is becoming increasingly common because conventional total shoulder replacement may cause pain, loss of strength, simple or complex disabilities as well as limited motion, reducing general quality of life. The goal of a reverse prosthesis is to restore a painless, biomechanically valid joint. Drawing on the results of recent studies, the book covers all relevant aspects of RSA, including basic science, pathogenesis, clinical and instrumental evaluation, surgical techniques and complication management, helping readers to better understand when and how reverse shoulder arthroplasty should be implanted and what to do in cases of poor results. Written by leading shoulder specialists, the book provides surgeons and rehabilitation specialists, as well as residents and shoulder fellows, with a valuable, state-of-the-art guide for clinical practice.

A riveting account of the decades-long effort by reactionary white conservatives to undermine democracy and entrench their power—and the movement to stop them. The mob that stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, represented an extreme form of the central danger facing American democracy today: a blatant disregard for the will of the majority. But this crisis didn’t begin or end with Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election. Through voter suppression, election subversion, gerrymandering, dark money, the takeover of the courts, and the whitewashing of history, reactionary white conservatives have strategically entrenched power in the face of a massive demographic and political shift. Ari Berman charts these efforts with sweeping historical research and incisive on-the-ground reporting, chronicling how a wide range of antidemocratic tactics interact with profound structural inequalities in institutions like the Electoral College, the Senate, and the Supreme Court to threaten the survival of representative government in America. “The will of the people,” wrote Thomas Jefferson in 1801, “is the only legitimate foundation of any government.” But that foundation is crumbling. Some counter-majoritarian measures were deliberately built into the Constitution, which was designed in part to benefit a small propertied upper class, but they have metastasized to a degree that the Founding Fathers could never have anticipated, undermining the very notion of “a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.” Chilling and revelatory, Minority Rule exposes the long history of the conflict between white supremacy and multiracial democracy that has reached a fever pitch today—while also telling the inspiring story of resistance to these regressive efforts.
Changing the Rules by Robert W. Crandall,Kenneth Flamm Pdf
Since 1971 competition has begun to replace regulation as a governing force in the telecommunications industry. The breakup of the national telephone monopolies, technological advances, and the worldwide network in telecommunications have brought a revolution in the telecommunications equipment and services industries. These changes have forced legislators and regulators to rethink public policy toward communications. The papers in this book were first presented at a conference organized by Robert Crandall and Kenneth Flamm, pulling together a group of industry professionals and scholars to address the far-reaching implications of the upheaval in the communications industry. The contributors analyze the effects of this increasing competition on standardization, technical innovation, and international rivalry. Changing the Rules offers possible policy options and analyzes their potential effects on the future market structure and the competitive positions of the U.S. computer and communications industries.
Adaptive Catchment Management and Reservoir Operation by Guangtao Fu,Guangheng Ni,Chi Zhang Pdf
River catchments and reservoirs play a central role in water security, food supply, flood risk management, hydropower generation, and ecosystem services; however, they are now under increasing pressure from population growth, economic activities, and changing climate means and extremes in many parts of the world. Adaptive management of river catchments and reservoirs requires an in-depth understanding of the impacts of future uncertainties and thus the development of robust, sustainable solutions to meet the needs of various stakeholders and the environment. To tackle the huge challenges in moving towards adaptive catchment management, this book presents the latest developments in cutting-edge knowledge, novel methodologies, innovative management strategies, and case studies, focusing on the following themes: reservoir dynamics and impact analysis of dam construction, optimal reservoir operation, climate change impacts on hydrological processes and water management, and integrated catchment management.
