Author: Richa Kaul Padte | Narrator: Leeza Mangaldas
In 1964, American judge Potter Stewart famously said, ‘I can’t define pornography, but I know it when I see it.’ Over 50 years later, the reverberations of these words are still being felt across the world. Be it proposed porn bans, religious morality or women’s rights, the assumption is that porn has a single, knowable definition. But one man’s art is another woman’s erotica is another person’s sex tape.
In this intrepid, empathetic and nuanced account of the sexual shopping cart that is the internet today, Richa Kaul Padte takes listeners on an intimate tour of online sex cultures. From camgirls to fanfiction writers, homemade videos to consent violations, Cyber Sexy investigates what it means to seek out pleasure online.

Is it possible to take advantage of the benefits of data collection – and mitigate risks – for both companies and customers?
Most consumers are not very skilled at evaluating privacy risks; they’re either unable to determine the cost of sharing personal data online or unaware of what they’re sharing. (Doesn’t everyone scroll down without reading to click "I accept"?) Without much intervention from most federal or state-level governments, companies are on their own to define what qualifies as reasonable use. In today’s digital surveillance economy, there are no clear-cut best practices or guidelines. Gathering and using information can help customers – we see that in personalization and autofill of online forms. But companies must act in the best interest of their customers and treat the sensitive information users give them with the ethical care of doctors, lawyers, and financial advisers. The challenges of operating in a digital ecosystem aren’t going away. Customer Data and Privacy: The Insights You Need from Harvard Business Review will help you understand the tangled interdependencies and complexities and develop strategies that allow your company to be good stewards, collecting, using, and storing customer data responsibly.

Free Download Crisis of Confidence: Reclaiming the Historic Faith in a Culture Consumed with Individualism and Identity by Carl R. Trueman, R. E. Biddulph, Crossway
English | January 16, 2024 | ISBN: B0CS7B7NZL | 8 hours and 8 minutes | MP3 64 Kbps | 223 Mb
Carl Trueman Analyzes How Ancient Creeds and Confessions Protect and Promote Biblical Christianity in a Culture of Expressive Individualism
Historic statements of faith-such as the Heidelberg Catechism, the Apostles’ Creed, and the Westminster Confession of Faith-have helped the Christian church articulate and adhere to God’s truth for centuries. However, many modern evangelicals reject these historic documents and the practices of catechesis, proclaiming their commitment to "no creed but the Bible." And yet, in today’s rapidly changing culture, ancient liturgical tradition is not only biblical-it’s essential.
In Crisis of Confidence, Carl Trueman analyzes how creeds and confessions can help the Christian church navigate modern concerns, particularly around the fraught issue of identity. He contends that statements of faith promote humility, moral structure, and a godly view of personhood, helping believers maintain a strong foundation amid a culture in crisis. This is a revised edition of Trueman’s The Creedal Imperative, now with a new section on the rise of expressive individualism.

Free Download Cooperative Co-Parenting for Secure Kids: The Attachment Theory Guide to Raising Kids in Two Homes by Aurisha Smolarski LMFT, Hunter Clarke-Fields MSAE – foreword, Sanya Simmons
English | March 26, 2024 | ISBN: B0CTD2TB3P | 6 hours and 15 minutes | M4B 64 Kbps | 170 Mb
Discover how attachment theory can help you better understand yourself and your ex, improve your coparenting skills, and raise happy, emotionally secure kids!
If you’re like most parents, you want-more than anything-for your child to feel safe, loved, and confident that their needs will be met. However, this can be difficult when you’re sharing custody with an ex. Instead of working together, you may feel at war with one another, and in the end, nobody wins-especially your child. So, how can you ensure that you and your ex are on the same page when it comes to coparenting?
With this unique and highly practical guide, you’ll learn the science of attachment theory, and how to apply it to your coparenting relationship. Secure attachment refers to the bond between a parent and young child, which gives that child a stable and secure basis from which to negotiate life going forward. A child with a secure base can weather the storms of trauma and life changes-such as those caused by divorce-much more easily than a child who doesn’t. Coparents who understand this principle have a significant advantage, because they can learn how to provide secure attachment for their child, even while no longer living under the same roof.
