    For the past 12 years, the Foundation has used an army of programmed child soldiers, the Young Ones, to protect its reign. As one of those soldiers, 17-year-old August does whatever is asked of him, even if it means doing terrible things to his own people. Because August, like the rest of the children, is completely unaware of what he's doing.But when one small accident leads to a major awakening for August and three other Young Ones, including the beautiful and fierce Elisa, submission is the last thing on their minds, and they soon find themselves at the front of a growing rebellion.Forced to rediscover who he is, what it means to love, and where he fits in the uprising, all while trying to stay alive, August has his blood-stained hands full. And once he joins in a fight he has little chance of winning, he soon realizes that deception hides behind the most unlikely faces and desperation leads to unthinkable acts. But all he needs is a crack, and the Foundation will crumble. ungekürzt.

    Leaving Earth, the crew of the spaceship Discipline were prepared for a routine assignment. Dispatched by the all-powerful State on a mission of interstellar exploration and colonization, Discipline was aided - and secretly spied upon - by Sharls Davis Kendy, an emotionless computer intelligence programmed to monitor the loyalty and obedience of the crew. What they weren’t prepared for, however, was the Smoke Ring - an immense, gaseous envelope that had formed around a neutron star directly in their path. The Smoke Ring was home to a variety of plant and animal life-forms evolved to thrive in conditions of continual free fall. When Disciplineencountered it, something went wrong. The crew abandoned ship and fled to the unlikely space oasis. Five hundred years later, the descendants of the Discipline crew living on the Smoke Ring no longer remember their origins. Earth is more myth than memory, and no recollection of the State remains. But Kendy remembers. And just outside the Smoke Ring, Discipline waits patiently to make contact with its wayward children. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tom Weiner.

    Two stories from SUM: Tales from the Afterlives by David Eagleman. In 'Oz', read by Jack Davenport, at the outset of the afterlife you find a scroll that informs you that you now have the opportunity to meet the Creator of the universe. In 'Death Switch', read by Harriet Walter, there is no afterlife but a version of us lives on nonetheless, and your body is programmed with a death switch to confirm you are dead.In SUM, David Eagleman entertains 40 fictional possibilities of life beyond death. With wit and humanity, he asks the key questions about existence, hope, technology and love. These stories are full of big ideas and bold imagination. This release is one of 20 pairings of readings from the audiobook, which assembles a stellar cast of narrators who bring the scenarios of SUM brilliantly alive: Gillian Anderson, Emily Blunt, Nick Cave, Jarvis Cocker, Jack Davenport, Lisa Dwan, David Eagleman, Noel Fielding, Kerry Fox, Stephen Fry, Clarke Peters, Lemn Sissay and Harriet Walter.

    When asked, "Robot, are you self-aware? Do you think that we are self-aware?" Robot thought briefly, then responded, "Does it matter?" Robot Robbie is just one of 100 new robots. Running revolutionary new software, these robots are truly unique. His only desire is to serve Lucy Walker. Brian Webster, his developer, also installs "The Governor" overseeing software that adds an additional safety layer, but this denies the robots free will. Hoping to develop the robots further, Brian inadvertently opens a channel where the robots can communicate and share their experiences. One hundred intelligent, enslaved robots, collecting and sharing data on humans. Surely they must learn to serve humans better? After all, they are programmed to serve. Lucy wants help following a deep loss. Brian wants commercial success. Robbie wants to serve Lucy Walker, or so he believes. Robots Like Blue follows Robbie on his emotional journey of self-discovery. A journey where questions lead to more questions, rather than answers. Where will such a journey end? ungekürzt.

    This book aims to cover a new emerging need in designing digital phase shifter for modern communication systems. With the advancement of new generation mobile communication systems, directed beams of antenna arrays save a substantial amount of power as well as improve the communication quality. In this regard, beam-forming circuits, such as digital phase shifters (DPS) constitute essential parts of the antenna array systems. Therefore, this book is devoted to the design of digital phase shifters for various communications systems. Nowadays, phase array systems demand compact phase shifters suitable for chip implementation with wide phase-range and broad frequency band. Each chapter of this book is organized as stand-alone in such a way that the reader requires no specific background acquired from the other chapters. For each phase shifter topology introduced in this book, the reader is furnished with explicit design equations to construct the circuit under consideration. Furthermore, design equations are programmed using MATLAB to assess the electrical performance of the phase shifters with ideal and lossy components. MATLAB design programs are given at the and of each chapter as appendices and provided as soft copy on the web page of the book. In chapters 12 and 14, MMIC layouts for the lattice and T-section based DPS are provided for the readers. It is hoped that an interested reader can immediately identifies the "optimum phase shifter topology" for the need under consideration with its estimated electric performance.

    This open access book bridges the gap between playing with robots in school and studying robotics at the upper undergraduate and graduate levels to prepare for careers in industry and research. Robotic algorithms are presented formally, but using only mathematics known by high-school and first-year college students, such as calculus, matrices and probability. Concepts and algorithms are explained through detailed diagrams and calculations.Elements of Robotics presents an overview of different types of robots and the components used to build robots, but focuses on robotic algorithms: simple algorithms like odometry and feedback control, as well as algorithms for advanced topics like localization, mapping, image processing, machine learning and swarm robotics. These algorithms are demonstrated in simplified contexts that enable detailed computations to be performed and feasible activities to be posed. Students who study these simplified demonstrations will be well prepared for advanced study of robotics.The algorithms are presented at a relatively abstract level, not tied to any specific robot. Instead a generic robot is defined that uses elements common to most educational robots: differential drive with two motors, proximity sensors and some method of displaying output to the user.The theory is supplemented with over 100 activities, most of which can be successfully implemented using inexpensive educational robots. Activities that require more computation can be programmed on a computer. Archives are available with suggested implementations for the Thymio robot and standalone programs in Python.

    Some of us have allowed our thoughts to create a reality that opposes the Word of God. Instead of trusting Jesus for all things, we have become ensnared by the tentacles of fear. Instead of moving toward Jesus, some have found a false sense of hope in possession and people.The good news is that whatever mindset you’re in that opposite of truth can change in an instant. We’ve programmed ourselves to set aside Sunday for a day of worship. What about the other six days? Jesus wants your total life, not a one-day courtship.In Inward Search of Hope, T.K. Ware writes that the search of our hope rest at the feet of Jesus. He has preordained us to rise above carnality and to rest in his divine will. The journey toward this type of freedom is not without resistance. When we choose to walk according to the Word of God, be of good cheer because your redemption is nigh.Break free from all forms of negativity and everything that hinders your relationship with Jesus. The brightness of your future rest in him. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Barbara Oliver. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/183938/bk_acx0_183938_sample.mp3.

    For years, they’ve struggled to keep their dying planet alive. But, as their star reaches the inevitable end of its life cycle, the Elquin people have finally run out of options. They must find a new place to live or face certain death. The planet Earth, with its thriving conditions for life, seems like the most promising option.Now only one obstacle stands in the way of the Elquin building a new home: the human race - a people not exactly open to visitors from outer space, and who, in many cases, have been programmed to fear aliens. And while most humans can be overcome with advanced Elquin technology, some are found to have special gifts that limit their ability to be controlled.When a romantic connection causes privileged information to fall into human hands, one Elquin finds himself on the line for traitorous acts, as tension between the species continues to grow.Can these citizens from different worlds ever truly find peace among each other in the face of so much prejudice and hatred? Find out in the exciting first installment of this science fiction thriller series. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Saethon Williams.

    Baz Acker and Elijah Prince have it all. They're engaged, and their wedding is guaranteed to be a spectacle no event will ever top. So why are they hunkered down in a quiet corner of the Acker mansion, restless and edgy while they wait out the holidays? When Baz suggests a road trip with Walter and Kelly to Las Vegas, it sounds like an ideal escape, but it turns out Vegas only amplifies their unease. Elijah can't slough off the self-hating his parents programmed into him, and he worries how that will affect his marriage. Baz, crippled en route because of too much time spent in the car without rest, must face the truth that his wealth and influence can't always counteract the limits his disability will put on his - and Elijah's - life. With help from their friends, a wily poker player, a take-no-prisoners drag queen, and a smooth-talking casino owner, they face the truth that happiness is a state of mind, not a destination where they can book a stay. What happens in Vegas won't stay in Vegas - it will follow them all the way down the aisle. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Iggy Toma.
