Founder of Focus on the Family covers the big topics all young people face, including feelings of inferiority, handling peer pressure, drug abuse, puberty, sexual development, menstruation, masturbation, romantic love, overcoming discouragement, sound decision-making, and handling independence
Ehekonflikte - und wie man sie löst: Erziehungsprobleme, seelische Isolation, sexuelle Nöte, Überlastung und Streß - das sind nur einige der Schwierigkeiten, mit denen Frauen zu kämpfen haben. Und immer wieder führen diese Schwierigkeiten zu Depressionen und belasten damit die Partnerschaft. Der Autor nimmt sich mit großem Ernst, aber auch mit Humor der Problematik an, gibt Hilfestellungen und zeigt Auswege aus der Sackgasse solcher Belastungen. Mit viel Einfühlungsvermögen antwortet er auf die Fragen zahlreicher Ehepaare. Dabei wird immer wieder deutlich, daß die Bibel Maßstab für eine glückliche Ehe sein kann. Dr . James Dobson ist Ehe- und Familien-berater in den USA.

Abstract
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are a key technology powering the automated technologies of seeing known as computer vision. CNNs have been especially successful in systems that perform object recognition from visual data. This article examines the persistence of a mid-twentieth-century ontology of the digital image in these contemporary technologies. While CNNs are multidimensional, their ontology flattens distinctions between background and foreground, between subjects and objects, and even the relations established among the categories of information used to organize and train these models. This ontology enables the introduction and amplification of bias and troubling correlations and the transfer or slippage of learned associations between humans and objects found in the training image archives. Inspecting and interpreting what CNNs learn and index through their complex architectures can be difficult if not impossible because of how they encode and obfuscate quite human ways of seeing the world and the image repertoires used to train these algorithms that are rife with residues of prior representations.
"Moonbit is a hybrid work comprised of experimental poetry and a critical theory of the poetics and politics of computer code. It offers an extended intellectual and creative engagement with the affordances of computer software through multiple readings and re-writings of a singular text, the source code of the Apollo 11 Guidance Computer or the "AGC." Moonbit re-marks and remixes the code that made space travel possible. Half of this book is erasure poetry that uses the AGC code as the source text, building on the premise that code can speak beyond its functional purpose. When we think about the 1960s U.S. space program and obscure scientific computer code, we might not first think about the Watts riots, Shakespeare, Winnie the Pooh, T.S. Eliot, or scatological jokes. Yet these cultural references and influences along with many more are scattered throughout the body of the code that powered the compact digital computer that successfully guided astronauts to the Moon and back and in July of 1969. Moonbit unravels and rewrites the many embedded cultural references that were braided together within the language resources of mid-century computer code. Moonbit also provides a gentle, non-expert introduction to the text of the AGC code, to digital poetics, and to critical code studies. Outlining a capacious interpretive practice, Moonbit takes up all manner of imaginative decodings and recodings of this code. It introduces some of the major existing approaches to the study of code and culture while provide multiple readings of the source code along with an explanation and theorization of the way in which the code works, as both a computational and a cultural text."
