“This groundbreaking book is about the corruption and hypocrisy in the U.S. domestic and foreign diplomacy and not on genocide. However, the 20th Century’s first Genocide is used in the book as an example to demonstrate how the powers to be in Washington, D.C., blink at cruel injustices through the application of double standards and ethical lapses for the sake of political expediency.” “The author reveals how dishonest lobbying is dragging the United States government into the black hole of corrupt culture which eventually will destroy the nation the same way as the Roman Empire perished through rampant corruption exercised by the ruling class.”
The young Republic of Armenia is transitioning from adolescence into maturity. The country's growing pains are many, but manageable due toour committed government officials and the ever helpful hand of the vast Armenian Diaspora. As always, the Diaspora has been the shock absorbers of Armenia and Artsakh. Unfortunately, all are experiencing the loss of population through either debilitating immigration from Armenia or through the irreversible trend of assimilation in the Diaspora. Perspectives on Armenian Prospects treats both subjects in depth. Additionally, the book tackles other important problems and prospects such as the unity of the Armenians, the Genocide, the economy, the looming con...
The already breathtaking pace of change experienced in the second decade of the 21st century is likely to continue and perhaps even accelerate in the years ahead. In his new book, Challenges and Opportunities in Exponential Times, Dr. Demirdjian confronts the issue of pervasive change head on. The author identifies important global, technological, social, and environmental dimensions of change and discusses them in a succinct but compelling manner. This book should be of value to todays students, executives and all those who have keen interest in science and technology. The future ideas and innovations presented here are cerebrally stimulating. These readers will receive the full force of change and yet will also have the greatest stake in the future.
Demirdjian was reprinted and with a much bigger run. The book, published in 2010 by Xlibris, is a blueprint for the future of the Armenian nation. The slim volume (185 pages) should be pored over by every Armenian committed to a bright future for Armenians. The book makes a persuasive case on how to connect the fragmented Armenian Diaspora. Dr. Demirdjian believes the creation of a pan-Armenian organization would be the first concrete step to unite Armenians and subsequently proceed with their campaign for compensation and restitution from Turkey. A meta-Armenian organization can be a permanent entity looking after the national interests of all Armenians. He argues that its time to establish...
The Triangle of Trade in the Cradle of Civilization interestingly presents Mesopotamia as the supermarket of the ancient world. Although Sumeria was the nerve center for international trade, it had to import most everything from northern Mesopotamia, namely Armenia. Why have not the Armenians claimed their rightful place among the nations of Mesopotamia? The historical maze of humankind is fraught with mysteries, controversies, and inconsistencies.
The book represents an earthquake in genocide studies, particularly in the field of Armenian Genocide research. A unique feature of the Armenian Genocide has been the long-standing efforts of successive Turkish governments to deny its historicity and to hide the documentary evidencesurrounding it. This book provides a major clarification of the often blurred lines between facts and truth in regard to these events. The authenticity of the killing orders signed by Ottoman Interior Minister Talat Pasha and the memoirs of the Ottoman bureaucrat Naim Efendi have been two of the most contested topics in this regard. The denialist school has long argued that these documents and memoirs were all forgeries, produced by Armenians to further their claims. Taner Akçam provides the evidence to refute the basis of these claims and demonstrates clearly why the documents can be trusted as authentic, revealing the genocidal intent of the Ottoman-Turkish government towards its Armenian population. As such, this work removes a cornerstone from the denialist edifice, and further establishes the historicity of the Armenian Genocide.

Ten years ago, the inaugural European Conference on Computer Vision was held in Antibes, France. Since then, ECCV has been held biennially under the auspices of the European Vision Society at venues around Europe. This year, the privilege of organizing ECCV 2000 falls to Ireland and it is a signal honour for us to host what has become one of the most important events in the calendar of the computer vision community. ECCV is a single-track conference comprising the highest quality, previously unpublished, contributed papers on new and original research in computer vision. This year, 266 papers were submitted and, following a rigorous double-blind review process, with each paper being reviewed...
According to Rosalind Picard, if we want computers to be genuinely intelligent and to interact naturally with us, we must give computers the ability to recognize, understand, even to have and express emotions. The latest scientific findings indicate that emotions play an essential role in decision making, perception, learning, and more—that is, they influence the very mechanisms of rational thinking. Not only too much, but too little emotion can impair decision making. According to Rosalind Picard, if we want computers to be genuinely intelligent and to interact naturally with us, we must give computers the ability to recognize, understand, even to have and express emotions. Part 1 of this...
