In relation to the psychological essence of the various kinds of people who prey on others, dark psychology can be seen as studying the human condition. The truth is that there is the potential for any single human being to victimize other people or other living creatures. Most people prefer to suppress their dark impulses and prevent themselves from acting on any desire they have because of social norms, a human conscience, and other factors. There is, however, a small percentage of the population that is unable to hold their dark impulses in check. If you know techniques used by these people not only you can defend yourself but you can use these techniques for your advantage and become more successful. Dark psychology is continually being used by those who want to regulate their behavior to get what they want. All in all, everyday survival requires awareness of this subject. This book covers: · What are the dark psychological tactics used by mental manipulators? · What are the side effects that dark psychology has on the minds of people? · Why individuals with dark personality traits act to govern their lives · How toxic individuals pick their preferred victims · How persuasive individuals use dark psychology to regulate the minds of their victims · How to interpret non-verbal contact used to manipulate individuals · Precise techniques for quickly interpreting body language · How to spot dark psychology techniques for NLP

Why Single Parents Matter takes a different approach, focusing on supporting the wellbeing of single parents.

Architects look at thousands of buildings during their training, and study critiques of those buildings written by masters. In contrast, most software developers only ever get to know a handful of large programs well - usually programs they wrote themselves - and never study the great programs of history. As a result, they repeat one another's mistakes rather than building on one another's successes.This book's goal is to change that. In it, the authors of twenty-five open source applications explain how their software is structured, and why. What are each program's major components? How do they interact? And what did their builders learn during their development? In answering these questions, the contributors to this book provide unique insights into how they think.

Architects look at thousands of buildings during their training, and study critiques of those buildings written by masters. In contrast, most software developers only ever get to know a handful of large programs well - usually programs they wrote themselves - and never study the great programs of history. As a result, they repeat one another's mistakes rather than building on one another's successes. This second volume of The Architecture of Open Source Applications aims to change that. In it, the authors of twenty-four open source applications explain how their software is structured, and why. What are each program's major components? How do they interact? And what did their builders learn during their development? In answering these questions, the contributors to this book provide unique insights into how they think.

Media headlines from around the world are increasingly highlighting the mental health toll of working within healthcare, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic. Likewise, we know that infant feeding experiences can leave a lasting memory for mothers who have struggled. But what about those working to support new families with feeding their baby? Who is listening to and supporting them?In a society that does not understand, value or protect breastfeeding, working or volunteering in lactation support can sometimes feel like a never-ending battle. For every family whose life you change with your support, it feels like another five appear. You see your guidance and support overridden by others in the system who do not understand or who are motivated to convince a new mother to feed her baby in a different way. Frustrations with paperwork, bureaucracy and an underfunded system can leave many feeling frazzled and burnt out. But still many continue, driven by a passion to support breastfeeding, immense personal joy and reward from the success stories, and a determination to make a difference to families, both now and in the future. The Compassion Code: Power, perseverance and passion in lactation support draws on research with over 700 practitioners and volunteers working across the field of lactation to support families. It unpicks and reflects on the challenges of the role while also reminding us why we continue. Most importantly it focuses on the future. What is it about this vocation that keeps bringing people back day after day? How can we nurture and support those working in this field? Ultimately how can we fight to not only protect breastfeeding for the next generation but also those working to support them?

As we pointed out in The Architecture of Open Source Applications, architects look at thousands of buildings during their training, and study the critiques of many more. But most software developers only ever get to know a handful of programs well - usually programs they wrote themselves. This book provides you with the chance to study how 26 experienced programmers think when they are building something new. The programs you will read about in this book were all written from scratch to solve difficult problems. A web server, a pedometer, a Python interpreter, a web-based spreadsheet, and many more applications are written, in 500 lines of code or less, and described by their creators so that you can learn from their insights and their mistakes.
