About this deal

Family detail: Any type of family detail that you chose not to share with others (this can vary from family members you don’t mention to any detail about family members you chose not tell). Paradoxically, the one clear winner in all of this is Meta. Because the leaked model was theirs, they have effectively garnered an entire planet's worth of free labor. Since most open source innovation is happening on top of their architecture, there is nothing stopping them from directly incorporating it into their products. Und genau deswegen bringt dies einige Menschen dazu, ihr Geheimnisse anzuvertrauen und ihr Dinge zu erzählen, die sie sonst niemandem anvertrauen, vielleicht sogar nichtsahnend, da die meisten glauben, Jemma würde ohnehin nichts verstehen oder wirklich wahrnehmen. Sie erzählen ihr all diese Dinge, weil sie wissen, dass sie sie niemals ausplaudern wird. Und obwohl wir die Geschichte nur in Jemmas Gedanken erleben, hat die Autorin es geschafft, mit einem unglaublich ruhigen Erzählstil und kurzen, prägnanten Sätzen das Geschehen so intensiv zu beschreiben, dass man das Gefühl hatte, selbst Teil von Jemmas Leben zu sein. Penny Joelson beschreibt Sorgen und Ängste, Momentaufnahmen, Erinnerungen und Empfindungen aber eben auch Dinge, die Jemma nicht nur Freude bereiten, sondern sie begeistern und sie – auch wenn es nur für den Bruchteil einer Sekunde ist – ebenso fühlen lassen, wie ein 14-jähriges Teenagermädchen sich von Zeit zu Zeit fühlt, ohne die ganze Zeit mit den Gedanken bei der eigenen Krankheit zu sein. I think one of the detriments to this book is that everything was overexplained to an annoying degree. If this was a middle-grade book, I wouldn't mind it as much, but as a book for the older YA demographic this book just talked down to the reader.

I have been guilty of looking at people with disabilities such as Jemma's and thinking that they can't understand, they don't see and they don't think. It's horrible to think that I've thought this but I have. This book opened my eyes as to the fact that people like Jemma are not brain dead and that they can hear everything and see everything too. I can't believe I was so small minded before. This book teaches a vital lesson that just because you look one way on the outside doesn't mean you are incapable or not intelligent. Honestly, the synopsis was just a bit misleading and overall the reading experience was just not enjoyable. Also we have some models in cryptography. One model is random oracle model. In random oracle model, we use hash functions as random oracles. zk-SNARKs in random oracle models don't need trusted setup and are post-quantum secure, but they are inefficient. Examples of zk-SNARKs in ROM are STARK and Aurora, etc.Sixteen-year-old Jemma has “no secrets of [her] own.” Quadriplegic due to cerebral palsy, she can’t move or speak and depends on her foster parents and her aide, Sarah, for everything from eating to using the bathroom. But people often share their secrets with her. After all, Jemma can never tell—even when Sarah’s sleazy boyfriend, Dan, hints at his involvement in a recent murder just before Sarah goes missing. But when innovative technology offers Jemma a chance to communicate, can she expose Dan’s secret before he silences her? Despite its suspenseful premise, the plot pales against Joelson’s ( Girl in the Window, 2018) intimate, unflinching exploration of Jemma’s character; the book’s most powerful tension lies in Jemma’s simple, direct narration of her unrecognized, uncomfortably realistic frustrations and fears, such as patronizing adults who “don’t realize that [she has] a functioning brain” and her worry that her overwhelmed parents will stop fostering. Refreshingly, the author’s detailed depiction of augmentative and alternative communication explores both the joy of self-expression and the physical and mental effort it requires. Jemma’s bond with her chaotic but supportive foster family grounds the story, particularly her touching rapport with her younger foster brother, Finn, who’s autistic and also nonverbal. Most characters appear white. I HAVE NO SECRETS is one of the most delightful surprises I've read in recent memory. I expected a Disney-type story of a differently-abled girl who learns to communicate. Instead what I found was an often heartbreaking thriller. Like real life, very little goes smoothly for Jemma. She has similar hopes and dreams to other fourteen-year-olds, and likewise similar disappointments. Her family and carers sometimes let her down, because we are all occasionally let down by those who love us. People are imperfect. Nothing is easy, for anyone. Like fellow Golden Globe Race entrants, Ian Herbert-Jones and Michael Guggenberger, Tomy has limited water supply, but he has managed to catch around 50 litres, giving him around 70 litres in his tank. He believes this should be enough to get him to the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone in the Atlantic, where he expects to catch more water.

This book was recommended to me by one of my bookish friends Megan, so thanks so much for the reading rec because I was most definitely not disappointed with this standalone thriller! I Have No Secrets follows fourteen year old Jemma who has cerebral palsy and cannot communicate. We as a reader can hear what she is thinking but no words are spoken by her out loud. Down the road she lives on, a local guy has been murdered but the case remains unsolved. Until the murderer himself realises that Jemma is unable to tell the truth about the events. The vanishing of her friend and carer Sarah also rises alarm bells. After finding out about a new way of communication via sniffing, Jemma dreams of having her own voice and letting others know about what she has witnessed, during her encounters with the murderer.

I know she wouldn’t have it any other way,” says Dan. “She’s a gem—and you too. What you do for these kids.” Vielen Dank an den Fischer Tor Verlag, der mir das Buch kostenlos als Rezensionsexemplar zur Verfügung gestellt hat im Austausch gegen meine ehrliche Meinung. Auch hier bleibt meine Meinung unverfälscht.This book has been on my TBR for a while now and I’m glad I finally read it. I really loved the premise of this one, it sounded so interesting.
