Desire: A Reckoning by Jessie Cole
English | August 2nd, 2022 | ISBN: 192245866X | 272 pages | True EPUB | 1.40 MB
What to do with the intensity of longing that occasionally arises? Sometimes I hug my pup so hard he growls. When my pup growls, I realise I need to find some other way of letting off steam. It's easy to imagine I could just touch myself and be done with it, but no matter how many times I make myself come, that feeling of wanting doesn't subside. A friend has a term for the need for touch-'skin hungry'. Lots of people live without sex, but I find it a kind of deprivation.

David Gledhill, "Impact"
English | 2017 | ISBN: 1541371550 | ASIN: B01N5GUIR8 | EPUB | pages: 122 | 0.8 mb
Flying the Jaguar bomber in a Cold War West Germany, Nick Gleason is, perhaps, at the peak of his career but he is a loner struggling with his conscience and he begins to question the morality of his role. If war in Europe breaks out, he would be tasked to deliver a thermo-nuclear weapon to a target in the East. Two British fighter aircraft, one a Phantom, the second a Jaguar piloted by Gleason, converge at low level over the Osnabruck Ridge on the North German Plain. One is armed with a practice nuclear bomb, the other simply conducting a routine training exercise but their flight paths are destined to cross. Events have been far from routine as the crews are drawn towards the encounter that threatens to jeopardise their very existence. Was a mid-air collision inevitable from the outset or could the, seemingly, inexorable chain of events have been broken? Was destruction predestined? The countdown to impact is underway.

Credible Asset Allocation, Optimal Transport Methods, and Related Topics
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030972720 | 762 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 59 MB
This book describes state-of-the-art economic ideas and how these ideas can be (and are) used to make economic decision (in particular, to optimally allocate assets) and to gauge the results of different economic decisions (in particular, by using optimal transport methods). Special emphasis is paid to machine learning techniques (including deep learning) and to different aspects of quantum econometrics-when quantum physics and quantum computing models are techniques are applied to study economic phenomena. Applications range from more traditional economic areas to more non-traditional topics such as economic aspects of tourism, cryptocurrencies, telecommunication infrastructure, and pandemic. This book helps student to learn new techniques, practitioners to become better knowledgeable of the state-of-the-art econometric techniques, and researchers to further develop these important research directions

Building Your Self-Confident: How to Be Confident in Yourself: How To Improve Confidence by Joshua Gilberto
English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0B6ZTBH6S | 60 pages | EPUB | 5.27 Mb
One of the most important things for you to understand about self confidence is that it is a great and useful thing to have, but not the 'right' thing to have. Indeed, just like it's neither right nor wrong for a glass to be full of water or for a glass to be empty, it's neither right nor wrong to be full of self confidence or to lack self confidence. Rather, it's a question of how do you want to be and why. This means that if you currently have low self confidence (or even no self confidence at all), this is a completely valid and acceptable way of being, so don't spend even a second feeling bad about it.
