Mostly sunny : how I learned to keep smiling through the rainiest days / by Dean, Janice,1970-author.(CARDINAL)609883;

Read, set, perform! -- "Bylaw Base to Car 16!" -- Sunscooped -- Houston, we have a problem -- Imus -- Fate -- Always be nice to the hair and makeup people -- It's complicated -- Foxcasting -- Learning I have MS, the "my you look so well" disease -- Zin owl -- The return of the green sweater -- You are my sunshine : Matthew and Theodore -- One final message -- Mother of frogs -- Parachutes -- Unpacking boxes with Judy -- Facetune -- Standing up to online trolls -- Flare-up -- Where the skies are so blue.Fox & Friends meteorologist Janice Dean explains how she purposefully finds the silver lining in every cloud, no matter what challenge she faces. Janice is well-known for the infectious joy she brings to segments on Fox & Friends, no matter the weather. Yet many of her fans know there's more to her story than blizzards that are brewing or National Pancake Day celebrations. In this honest yet optimistic book, Janice reveals obstacles she's faced that could have severely impacted any professional woman's career, from online trolls to health issues to abusive and sexist bosses. In Mostly Sunny, she talks about it all, including the fateful path meeting her firefighting husband after he lost his colleagues on 9/11; the day she had to talk to her two small children about her multiple sclerosis; and how the pressure on women in television led her to a cosmetic procedure that could have ended her career. But no matter what storms life throws at her, Janice refuses to let setbacks and challenges rain on her parade or cloud her outlook. Thanks to supportive coworkers and an upbeat attitude, she's mastered turning countless would-be losses into victories. Now, she shares her stories, alternately funny, heartwarming, and touching, in the hopes that they will help others make it through their rainiest days.

A brief history of intelligence : evolution, AI, and the five breakthroughs that made our brains / by Bennett, Max S.(Max Solomon),author.(CARDINAL)878923;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 373-399) and index.The basics of human brain anatomy -- Our evolutionary lineage -- Introduction -- The world before brains -- Breakthrough #1: Steering and the first bilaterians. The birth of good and bad -- The origin of emotion -- Associating, predicting, and the dawn of learning -- Breakthrough #2: Reinforcing and the first vertebrates. The Cambrian explosion -- The evolution of temporal difference learning -- The problems of pattern recognition -- Why life got curious -- The first model of the world -- Breakthrough #3: Simulating and the first mammals. The neural dark ages -- Generative models and the neocortical mystery -- Mice in the imaginarium -- Model-based reinforcement learning -- The secret to dishwashing robots -- Breakthrough #4: Mentalizing and the first primates. The arms race for political savvy -- How to model other minds -- Monkey hammers and self-driving cars -- Why rats can't go grocery shopping -- Breakthrough #5: Speaking and the first humans. The search for human uniqueness -- Language in the brain -- The perfect storm -- ChatGPT and the window into the mind -- Conclusion: The sixth breakthrough."In the last decade, the science of understanding the human brain and replicating its most complicated processes through artificial intelligence has grown exponentially. Intricate neurological functions ranging from writing poetry to crafting original articles, arenas that had long been thought of as science fiction, have become our reality. And yet, large gaps remain in what AI can achieve-gaps that, as pioneering artificial intelligence entrepreneur Max Bennett argues compellingly, exist because there is still too much we don't understand about our own brains. Finding these answers requires diving into the long billion-year history of how animal brains emerged from matter; a history filled with countless half-starts, calamities, opportunities, and clever innovations. Not only do our brains have a story to tell-in fact the future of AI depends on it. Now, in A Brief History of Brains, Bennett bridges the gap between neuroscience and AI to tell the brain's evolutionary story, while demonstrating how understanding that story will shape the next generation of great AI breakthroughs. Deploying fresh perspective and lively storytelling, Bennett sheds long overdue light on evolutionary neuroscience, a historically small scientific field that holds the keys to the biggest secrets in AI. Working with support from many of the top minds in the field, Bennett consolidates four billion years into an approachable new model, identifying the Five Breakthroughs that mark the brain's most important evolutionary leaps. As we go back further in time, brains get much simpler and behavior gets much simpler, making it easier to understand these ancient brains and the complexity that emerges at each subsequent iteration. As each breakthrough brings new insight to the biggest mysteries of human development, it also contains fascinating corollaries to developments in AI, showing where our technological skill has matched the brain's evolution and where the missing links continue to hold us back. Indeed, until we understand and embrace every part of our brain's journey, parts of AI-including ones that we need to grow and evolve-will remain elusive. Endorsed and lauded by the brightest and best neuroscientists in the field today, Bennett's work synthesizes the most relevant scientific knowledge and cutting-edge research to create an easy-to-understand and riveting evolutionary story. With sweeping scope and stunning insights, A Brief History of Brains proves that understanding the arc of our brain's history can unlock the tools for successfully navigating our technological future."--

Harm reduction approaches are effective, patient-driven alternatives to abstinence-based treatment for people who are not ready, willing, or able to stop using substances. This volume outlines the scientific basis and historical development of these approaches, and reviews why abstinence-based approaches often do not work. The authors then share their expertise about harm reduction treatment (HaRT), an empirically based approach co-developed with community members impacted by substance-related harm--a first of its kind. The reader learns in detail about the pragmatic mindset and compassionate heartset of HaRT and the three treatment components: measurement and tracking of patient-preferred substance-related metrics, harm-reduction goal setting and achievement, and discussion of safer-use strategies. This volume walks practitioners through all components, provides example scripts for use in daily practice, and illustrates the work through case studies and input from community members. Handouts are available for use in daily practice. This is essential reading for clinical psychologists, psychotherapists, and researchers who encounter people who have substance-use problems."--

Field guide to legal research / by Callister, Paul D.,author.(CARDINAL)784541;

Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- Working the problem -- Problem typing -- Understanding the terrain of legal authority -- The map : the octants of legal research resources -- Construct of the legal research process -- A few additional suggestions -- A few parting words -- Answers to select "on your own" problems."Much like a field guide, this book classifies problem types and matches them with appropriate legal research resources. It emphasizes 'working the problem, ' 'problem typing, ' and then application of problem types to the appropriate resources. Problems and exercises illustrate the application of constructs and techniques to particular situations. Coverage is much broader than in first-year legal research classes. The book includes problems based on government agencies, statistics, and even patent law. There are numerous 'screen shots' and images to facilitate the learning process."--
