Civility, as we see it, isn’t simply about playing nice. It’s about giving people the resources to have rational and productive discussions about hard subjects. It’s also about finding ways to work more productively with all of our brothers and sisters for the greater good of society. In these dark and turbulent times of discord, The Civility Mosaic urges us not to abdicate our human duty. It’s our hope that it encourages every reader to be the proverbial stone dropped into the placid waters of complacency, allowing our actions to be ripples of change, spreading to far shores.

Throughout his life, shrewd promoter and creative genius Edgar Leeteg possessed many titles, astounding fans and antagonizing critics. Considered the "American Gauguin," he originated the modern technique of oil painting on black velvet. Once memorialized by James Michener as an original rascal in paradise. This is a biography of the artist Leeteg, who left California in 1933 bound for the South Pacific. His home in Tahiti allowed him to paint nudes, drink, and party with sensual vahines from the beaches to the bars of Tahiti. Leeteg described himself as a "fornicating, gin-soaked, dope head" and all the artists and writers of the South Pacific knew of him. He took on the elite of the art establishment of Honolulu Academy of Arts in 1938 and shamed them in the press. He was a wealthy artist and legend in his lifetime, a goal few can achieve. Tourists visiting Tahiti would seek him out for his generosity of wine, women, and song on his Shangri-la-like estate called Villa Velour on his quiet isle. He was the father of black velvet art and the genesis of a genre continuing today with the tiki and Polynesian pop art movement, nearly 70 years later.

Harness the power of artificial intelligence in hiring 
The typical hiring process is fraught with complexity, inefficiency, and bias and often shuts out the most talented candidates. Decoding Talent: How AI and Big Data Can Solve Your Company’s People Puzzle makes the case for using complex advanced technologies to move past these problems toward effortless optimal candidate decisions. 
AI experts Eric Sydell, Mike Hudy, and Michael Ashley explain why the traditional resume-based process is out of date, why hiring is difficult, the cost of bad people decisions, how bias interferes in hiring practices, and how AI can address these problems. 
Decoding Talent reveals that using AI in hiring doesn’t require your human resource professionals to unlearn and relearn their craft; rather, machine learning can complement their skills by consolidating and analyzing data to recommend actions. Imagine a world in which you didn’t have to wonder: 
Who is the best candidate for the job? What is the return on investment of our hiring process? Is our hiring process fair and equitable? Is our human talent deployed optimally across our organization? What can human resources do to better drive business outcomes for our company? Is our candidate experience adding value to our brand? 
Incorporating scientifically based hiring can make this world a reality, benefiting both your company and the candidates for hire.

Are advances in technology working for us or against us? &#8203;When our phones become our keys to access everything, will our lives be more convenient or more at the mercy of whoever can hack into our devices? Will self-driving cars help us maximize our time and get to our destination safely, or will they erode the autonomy and freedom we feel when we drive ourselves? What happens if the government, in the name of public health, gains access to the data in our handy fitness trackers and uses it to reward or limit us? In Neuromined, data sovereignty advocate Robert Edward Grant and prolific technology author Michael Ashley team up to explore significant questions such as these. Each chapter imagines a near-future surveillance dystopia through a riveting fictional tale and provides a companion analysis connecting the story to our present reality. Entertaining and provoking, this book shows readers how the technology that has promised a lifetime of convenience has also constrained a public's individual options and agency. But all hope is not lost. Neuromined, at its core, demonstrates how technology, when viewed through a different ethos and used by a conscientious public, can instead provide greater autonomy and greater access to liberation.

And it's all happening in low-Earth orbit (LEO), a mere 250 miles above Earth's surface--roughly the distance between Boston and New York. Before you know it, the journey from Earth to space will be an everyday flight, not just for astronauts but also for tomorrow's business professionals. Even more exciting, the new commercial space era will transform life here on Earth, generating incredible medical breakthroughs like 3D-printed organs and new cures for diseases, as well as producing revolutionary computing advances and inventions we can scarcely yet imagine. In We Have Liftoff, positive futurist Michael Ashley and visionary space exploration leader Tom Vice envisage a near future where regular people live and work in space, exploring untold entrepreneurial opportunities and scientific developments. Switching between genres with each chapter, We Have Liftoff will take you on a unique, exciting voyage through a movie script filmed in space, a gourmet menu best consumed in microgravity, journals recording medical advances through 2088, and more--all to imagine the coming marvels of space travel. &#8203;With insights from professionals revolutionizing the industry at Sierra Space, a leading space exploration company at the forefront of space innovation and commercialization, We Have Liftoff will show you what was once deemed science fiction will soon be reality.
