Introduction to Black Swan Theory
Summary
From 9/11 to the recession of 2007, these are events that have scared history and the United States of America. They were unprecedented by the people of those days, yet, we look back at those events and saw the impending signs of what was to happen. Nassim Nicholas Taleb accounted for these events and our perspectives today as the Black Swan Theory. Much like how what seemed to be the norm and logical answer to the question “what’s the color of a swan?” and then baffled by the discovery of black swans in Western Australia, people did not see these events coming. In fact, they seemed to have deluded, biased, believed that there was no way a war can break out in a civilized world. That there will be no more events matching the Great Depression and that nuclear war is only a story in American fiction movies.

Microeconomics Basics
Summary
To many people, economics is as confusing as physics. Just as we use physics every day even if we don’t know its technical aspects, we all use economics on a daily basis even if we don’t know its technical aspects. Yet, unlike physics, introductory economics is not as difficult as it might appear at first. However, it is true that economists speak a different “language”, in the sense that we often use terms that are not common in everyday conversation.

Logistics Management
Summary
Logistics is a part of the supply chain management that strategies, executes, and manages the storage and flow of products and goods between two points.

Character Is Higher Than Intellect
Summary
Degrees and education often become the requirement that is set by companies, but on the other hand, we all know the importance of having the right attitude as well. And it’s deeper than that: Attitude stems from the character of that person that really spells out whether or not he’s a great friend, partner, employee, or teacher. Having a good, positive character matters a lot because while knowledge can be taught and measured, character requires time to build, yet, you only need a single moment to shatter a good image. Our character matters in every aspect of life, and we’ll see how everyone has the capability to develop it.

Artificial Intelligence in Military
Summary
Progress in artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning, and robotics allows new capabilities that will affect military strategies assertively. The implications of these developments will be felt across the array of military criteria from knowledge, surveillance, and identification to balances of offense and defense, as well as to the nuclear weapons programs themselves. In this suite, five top AI experts and their potential applications within autonomous weapons and monitoring systems are the points of discussions about the moral and realistic challenges of handling the worldwide eruption in military AI research and development. The intention: to maintain fast progress in machine learning from triggering a global arms race in the backdrop of AI poses a new existential threat to humanity. As the US, China, and Russia accelerate its use of artificial intelligence in military contexts, Europe fears falling behind unless the continent's policymakers take measures to combine their initiatives. Future concepts, models, algorithms, data sharing, access to elastic computing power, and sophisticated testing and training are suggested to create a data mobility framework.

Luxury Business
Summary
Gold teeth, Grey Goose, diamonds, tiger on a gold leash, Maybach – everything luxurious is the topic of conversation that points to the peak of one’s life. Much like Lorde’s Royals music, there are times when people can’t even make sense why would you spend millions of dollars on skincare, branded bags, and sports cars. How does a business that relies on ideas that don’t make sense sell their products? What is the logic behind the illogical actions that millionaires and celebrities often flaunt on social media? How can a business create turnover from even customers of the middle-income class when selling products at the cost of a kidney?

Great devotion of the Christians towards the Christ cross is defined as the symbol for Lord, St. Paulinus for Nola. Archaeologists found cross marks in the ancient civilizations between 2nd and the 5th centuries. Drawings as well as the etchings on the walls, and even in the catacombs at Rome, and the walls of the burial chambers of the first and second centuries, had cross symbols in many sites. As a matter of fact, Christianity history dates back even a thousand years before that.
