From best selling author David Edward and old world researcher Jon Levi (@JonLeviChannel) comes the groundbreaking book Evidence of the Old World.As discussed on Coast to Coast AM 9/30/2023!"Strange as it may appear, America abounds in antiquities, so extensive, so beautiful and majestic, as to rival those of Thebes and Nineveh. Ruins of ancient cities, of immense extent; fortifications, mounds and pyramids; temples with walls built of hewn stone showing a refined taste in architecture - and adorned with human figures, beautifully executed; large altars ornamented with hieroglyphs, probably giving a record of those who reared them, but which no man has been able to decipher; remains of ancient palaces, with beautiful specimens of sculpture and painting, with many other marks of ancient greatness, prove to us that this is not a new world, but that a powerful empire existed at a very remote period of time, teeming with a population highly skilled in arts, and in a state of civilization far beyond anything we have been led to conceive of the aborigines, previous to the discovery of the continent by Europeans." - S.B.Rpw - Raftsman's journal, January 06, 1858This new book offers a groundbreaking re-examination of historical architecture and urban landscapes, challenging conventional wisdom through rigorous academic scrutiny. Utilizing multidisciplinary insights, this book unravels hidden complexities in history, providing a compelling read for anyone intrigued by the untold stories behind our built environment. Impeccably researched, it serves as an essential guide for questioning and understanding the narratives that have shaped our world.Discover a groundbreaking approach to understanding North American history, focused through the intriguing lens of cartography and centered on the enigmatic city of San Francisco. This book is far from a conventional historical account. Instead, it embarks on an intellectual journey that starts with the scrutiny of old maps and leads to questions that shake the foundations of well-established narratives.From the outset, the authors promise more than a typical historical account; they pledge a mind-bending expedition that probes deeper than ever before into the what, why, and how of historical events. The exploration began as an analysis of historical maps spanning North America. However, an anomaly in a San Francisco map diverted the focus, turning what was supposed to be a continent-wide inquiry into a comprehensive case study of one city. Imagine pulling a single loose thread only to find it unravels an entire tapestry of accepted truths.Set expectations aside, because this book promises an academic exploration unlike any other. With a focus on cartography, the authors begin their journey scrutinizing maps of North America. But this isn't merely a study of geography; it's a deep dive into historical events as portrayed through the maps of the time. As they delve into this analysis, an unexpected discovery on a San Francisco map pivots the entire study. The result? An all-encompassing investigation into this iconic city.This book doesn't merely challenge historical understanding; it compels readers to think critically, to question deeply entrenched beliefs, and to engage in the reevaluation of a history long considered settled. If one has ever looked at a map and wondered what lies beneath the ink, if one has ever questioned the standard narratives that have been handed down through generations, then this is a must-read. Prepare to question, to doubt, and most importantly, to learn.

Dark stars call, shadow planets leverage their hideous grasp obsessing, possessing. Our black hand is upon you. Cross the barrier, step through the passage, embrace that hitherto forbidden. Immortality awaits in world aflame.

This book is a thorough and practical guide to minimizing personally identifiable information (PII) in every conceivable use case across Finance, Healthcare, Insurance, Legal, Marketing, HR, and Government. Most data protection laws and regulations require that businesses only use as much PII as is required for each specific processing purpose. In some cases, processing is only permitted when the data is fully anonymized. Hence, PII Minimization describes a spectrum from redacting very few, if any, direct identifiers to full anonymization. It is woefully unclear what exactly is required in terms of PII minimization. The feasibility and the degree of PII minimization crucially depend on what personal identifiers are present in the data set to be processed as well as the use case for processing it. Industry- and use-case-specific PII-Minimization Standards supplies expert insights from academia as well as the seven industries to be covered. These experts clarify what personal identifiers are commonly present in the data sets collected by or otherwise available to them, what use cases for data processing are prevalent in their industry, and which personal identifiers are (un)necessary for each use case. The book also features companies that are developing technological solutions to solve the difficult problem of data minimization. The practical insights to be gained here are how to achieve data minimization in specific use cases and with high accuracy to meet the regulatory requirements. As an example, for the development of facial recognition software, images of human faces must be used in machine-identifiable form. However, todays technology can modify facial images for other use cases in such a way that they remain identifiable by human viewers but prevent the identification by automated systems. You Will: Explore the range of techniques for minimizing PII, from basic data reduction strategies to complete anonymization. Examine AI-specific regulations and their implications for data minimization, focusing on the most influential frameworks. Discuss the inherent challenges faced by general-purpose AI systems in implementing data minimization due to their extensive data needs and broad applications. Define key terms and concepts related to PII minimization technologies. Overview current and emerging technologies for minimizing PII in structured data, addressing their potential impacts and limitations. Explore methods and challenges in minimizing PII in unstructured data. Review data minimization in different industries and use cases. Who This Book is for: Data protection regulators as well as risk officers, privacy and data protection officers, product leaders, cybersecurity officers, information officers, and data leaders within organizations operating in Finance, Healthcare, Insurance, Legal, Marketing, HR, and Government that collect or process PII for purposes that require certain personal identifiers to be removed or obfuscated to meet data minimization requirements. The book is also for regulators developing actionable data minimization standards for these seven industries. Autorid: Patricia Thaine, Kathrin Gardhouse
