Private-sector companies are applying artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to diverse business functions, including human resource management (HRM), to great effect. The Department of the Air Force (DAF) is poised to adopt new analytic methods, including ML, to transform key aspects of HRM. Yet ML systems, as compared with other information technologies, present distinct safety concerns when applied to HRM because they do not use well-understood, preprogrammed rules set by human resources experts to achieve objectives. The DAF cannot confidently move forward with valuable AI and ML systems in the HRM domain without an analytic framework to evaluate and augment the safety of these systems. To understand the attributes needed to apply ML to HRM in a responsible and ethical manner, the authors reviewed relevant bodies of literature, policy, and DAF documents. From the they developed an analytic framework centered on measuring and augmenting three attributes of ML systems: accuracy, fairness, and explainability. In this report, the authors define safety by these three qualities. They then applied a case study approach; they developed ML systems and exercised the framework using the examples of officer promotion and developmental education boards.

Enables pastors and teachers to deliver biblical, cohesive, and dynamic messages The books of 1 and 2 Chronicles do more than provide an account of historical events involving God''s people; they also point to the future using a picture of the past. In this commentary, authors Joshua E. Williams and Calvin F. Pearson explore the interrelated themes of divine covenant, the worship of God''s people, the kingdom as God envisions it, and the God-formed community found in this far-ranging and didactic narrative. God''s holiness, faithfulness, and gracious character find concrete expression in the accounts of the Davidic monarchy over many generations. These often-failed national leaders prefigure a better coming Davidic king who will lead the way back to proper worship of God. 1 & 2 Chronicles calls readers to both action and hope.

Myth, hack, sex symbol, stark raving lunatic--all of these words have been used to describe Antonio Luna, the world''s greatest living adventurer. Or at least he was until 20 years ago, when he mysteriously vanished from the public eye. Now the ninety-year-old has returned and claims to be on his deathbed. Which is where Valentine Richards, a failed novelist turned reporter, comes in. Val is hired to travel to Luna''s remote castle home and uncover where the old star has been all these years, and just how much of what he says is actually true. But once Val starts to hear Luna''s tale, she finds herself entering into an insane world of psychedelic violence and explosive supernatural adventure. This brand-new series is a bold collaboration between Joshua Williamson (The Flash, Frostbite) and Riley Rossmo (The Batman Who Laughs), mixing myth and horror in this new project from DC Vertigo.

A Week of Suicide(s) follows the non-fictional accounts of Josh.A college student grappling with his sexual assault, gender identity,and mental health. The diaries are written in a poetic narrativestructure giving an unfiltered insight into an individual coming intohis own strengths and facing his own demons, and at times succumbingto them. Heartbreakingly honest and unflinching in its portrayal of the effects sexual assault can have on the human psyche and Josh as a nonfictional character serves as the backdrop for current events as well as serving as a queer voice that is hardly represented in such aunique, heartbreaking, honest, and uplifting way. The narrative thensegues into poetic insights on what it means to live your personaltruths and the costs that comes with that. The costs I''m alluding toare personal friendships, relationships with family, and at timesshunning one''s own spirituality. This is a story of loss, forgiveness,and at time apathy. The poetic nature of the pieces is helped by thefact that at times they seem to be in no real chronological orderwhich gives the reader an insight into the haphazard nature ofpersonal growth and that sometimes to come full circle isn''t so much afeeling as it is a tiny facet of success in life. The pieces arewritten to be interpreted as both introspective and a socialcommentary on our character''s surroundings as he navigates hissituations in his own unique way. The lovelyfact of this story is that its both its own contained personaladmission while at the same time remaining accessible to many readerssearching for solace in understanding much like Josh is as he writes.

Located on the Southwest Trail that connected St. Louis to Texas, the town of Washington was established in 1824 in the southwest corner of Arkansas. Named after the first president of the United States, Washington is an example of a true American town with the city streets bearing the names of famous countrymen. American icons such as James Bowie, Sam Houston, and Davy Crockett all passed through this unique community. One of its citizens, a local blacksmith, made a knife for Bowie, which became infamously known as the Bowie Knife. During the last two years of the Civil War, Washington became the capital of the Confederate government of Arkansas. In later years, it was bypassed by the railroad, and the town faced decline. In the 20th century, concerned citizens pushed for its restoration, and today Washington consists of a state park that continues to tell the story of this unique community to future generations.

Hangtown is a novel-in-stories centered on a small town in the Northern California foothills.

In the city of Corinth, a long time ago, lived a man named Erastus a disciple few know. . .Acts 19:22 comes alive for children, parents, and grand-parents. The intersection between government and serving God is paved out clearly in this clever story. While enjoying the good deed of Erastus for Rome the story serves as a springboard to discuss deeper topics like jury nullification, or simply paying honor to those in authority.

Located in the southwest corner of Arkansas, in one of the oldest counties of the state, the town of Hope has reflected the industrial vision of the New South since 1873 when the first lots were sold by the Cairo and Fulton Railroad Company. Hope has been home to nationally known politicians Bill Clinton and Mike Huckabee; acclaimed musicians like Patsy Montana; entrepreneur Paul Klipsch of Klipsch Speakers; and the farmer of the 44-year world-record watermelon, O. D. Middlebrooks. From thriving banks and local businesses to brickyards and handle factories, the people and places of Hope reflect the industrial nature and vision of a New South railroad town combined with the charm of small-town America.

This dissertation explores the mutual imbrication of race and animality in Kenyan and Tanzanian politics and performance from the 1910s through to the 1990s. It is a cultural history of the non-human under conditions of colonial governmentality and its afterlives. I argue that animal bodies, both actual and figural, were central to the cultural and political project of British colonialism in Africa – and in particular eastern Africa, which continues to be imagined in many circles as both “safari country” and the “cradle of humankind.” I build on extensive archival research to suggest that artistic and scientific activity in colonial Kenya, from the amateur and professional theatre to the natural-historical research conducted at the Coryndon Memorial Museum, helped to define a category of sub-political being that I call “the animal subaltern.” The animal subaltern is a concatenation of all forms of animal life lived below the horizon of “the human.” During the colonial period, this included the wildlife of eastern Africa, the pre-human hominids whose fossilized remains paleoanthropologists like Louis Leakey unearthed, and “natives,” whose political subjectivity the colonial state was determined to suppress. I argue that the forced contiguity of these variously inflected forms of life had a pervasive, if uneven, racializing effect: all of these beings became black. In the post- Second World War struggle for political, cultural and economic independence in eastern Africa, members of the animal subaltern contested their exclusion from the category of the human. I read the work of the Kenyan writer and intellectual Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o and the Tanzanian playwright Ebrahim Hussein as important interventions into this unfolding struggle and its implications for the postcolonial future of their communities. Finally, I consider the environmental activism of Kenya’s “Rhino Man,” Michael Werikhe, whose performative blurring of the distinction between human and animal in the 1980s and 1990s helped to inaugurate a new model of interspecies solidarity that continues to play itself out to this day.
