      Focusing on the theoretical foundation of ethical obligations, the book delves into the responsibilities individuals have towards others as self-aware beings. It highlights a specific category of interpretive moral wrongs, providing insight into how these obligations can be comprehended and addressed. Through this exploration, the author offers a nuanced understanding of moral responsibility in interpersonal relationships.

    • In recent years considerable progress has been made in the area of probabilistic graphical models, in particular Bayesian networks and influence diagrams. Probabilistic graphical models have become mainstream in the area of uncertainty in artificial intelligence; contributions to the area are coming from computer science, mathematics, statistics and engineering. This carefully edited book brings together in one volume some of the most important topics of current research in probabilistic graphical modelling, learning from data and probabilistic inference. This includes topics such as the characterisation of conditional independence, the sensitivity of the underlying probability distribution of a Bayesian network to variation in its parameters, the learning of graphical models with latent variables and extensions to the influence diagram formalism. In addition, attention is given to important application fields of probabilistic graphical models, such as the control of vehicles, bioinformatics and medicine.

      The poems in this book are written based on the experiences of my own life. There is some element of space here that is left deliberately for the reader to capture their own imagination. It is advised that the poems are not read in one sitting. They are designed to be used as an aspect of reflection and introspection.The 21 poems and original Zen Art illustrations are meant to capture your imagination to invoke your natural sense of expression. Combined with Balanced Journaling, this can create an enhanced sense of healing and internal cleansing to all who are ready for the journey to liberation.

      There seems to be a healing and spiritual aspect to journaling.Studies have found that writing in a journal can lead to better sleep, a stronger immune system, more self-confidence, and a higher I.Q. Research out of New Zealand suggests that the practice may even help wounds heal faster. How is this possible? James W. Pennebaker, a social psychologist at the University of Texas at Austin who is considered the pioneer of writing therapy, said there isn't one answer. Something to do with being the unconscious to the conscious.This outline is called "Balanced Journaling" because there is a central focus on the aspect of both introspecting and effective communication. You could also describe this as bullet journaling, but I don't really like how that sounds. Anyhow, if you would like to expand and change the format to sentences, then please feel free to adjust as needed. You can't make a mistake here, this is your expression, I am simply the messenger.

    • In Utopia ist Geld abgeschafft worden. Alle Menschen haben freien Zugang zu medizinischen Leistungen, Lebensmittel, Kleidung, Wohnung, Kommunikation, Bildung/Kultur, Mobilität und Mitwirkung am Gemeinwesen. Dafür verpflichten sich alle ein festgelegtes Minimum an „Arbeit“ für die Gemeinschaft zu leisten. „Arbeit“ ist in Anführungsstrichen geschrieben, da es sich hierbei um eine selbstbestimmte und frei gewählte Tätigkeit handelt. Die Lebenszeit ist gleich wert und kostbar, unabhängig von Alter, Geschlecht, Hautfarbe, Religion oder körperlicher und geistiger Verfassung. Alle Menschen eines Landes stellen den gleichen Mindestbetrag an Lebenszeit der Allgemeinheit zur Verfügung.

      Utopia ... ist machbar!

    • Eine unterhaltsame Stadtrundfahrt auf urige Berliner Art unter besonderer Berücksichtigung von Lachmuskeln und Zwerchfell. „Die in diesem Buch vorgestellte Stadtrundfahrt führt an den wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt entlang. Sie resultiert aus meinen Erfahrungen als Stadtführer in den letzten 5 Jahren. Es handelt sich dabei um einen Rundkurs, der am Bahnhof Zoologischer Garten beginnt und dort auch wieder endet. Die Strecke ist 28 km lang, wofür ich mit Bus oder Taxi gute 2,5 h brauche (ohne Pause).“
