Taste in Music: Eating on Tour with Indie Musicians by Luke Pyenson, Alex Bleeker
English | September 24, 2024 | ISBN: 1797224573 | 240 pages | MOBI | 79 Mb
A Pitchfork Best Book of 2024

A Saveur Best Narrative Food Book of 2024
In this unique and deeply thoughtful collection, musician Alex Bleeker (Real Estate) and food and travel journalist Luke Pyenson (formerly of Frankie Cosmos) take readers on tour with a diverse lineup of inspiring indie musicians from around the world, sharing meals and travel experiences, peeking behind the curtain at this singular and singularly misunderstood way of life.
Through original essays and engaging conversations with dozens of indie musicians representing several subgenres, scenes, and eras, food takes center stage in stories about being on tour and eating on tour and how this basic human necessity can create a sense of community and interconnectedness in one of the most mobile industries in the world. Based broadly on the subject of eating on tour, these entries each spin off into their own focused and exciting behind-the-scenes story, but all confirm what Pyenson and Bleeker suspected all along-food looms large in the lives of touring musicians, and it can be used as a gateway into understanding what going on tour is really like.
Featured contributors include:Robin Pecknold (Fleet Foxes)Chris Frantz (Talking Heads)Natalie Mering (Weyes Blood)Mark Ibold (Pavement)John Gourley (Portugal. The Man)LilyChait(touring chef to boygenius and Phoebe Bridgers)Amelia Meath (Sylvan Esso)Greta Kline (Frankie Cosmos)Devendra BanhartBob Mould (Hüsker Dü)Brian "Geologist" Weitz (Animal Collective)Dawn RichardSasami Ashworth (SASAMI)Sadie Dupuis (Speedy Ortiz)The BethsIn addition to wide-angle meditations about eating on tour, Pyenson and Bleeker have gathered stories that take place on five continents, in private homes and street-side stalls, in temples of fine dining and in actual temples, backstage and in the van, early morning and late at night. Stories that deal with the best parts of touring: meaningful cultural exchange, hospitality-induced euphoria, and the opportunity to build relationships around the world. And the worst: loneliness, exhaustion, estrangement from family and friends, struggles with disordered eating, and unsteady access to medical care.
So the question isn't, "How was tour?" It's, "What do you eat on tour?" Like the best songs or meals, these conversations and essays evoke something central about the human experience. They show us all the ways that music and food bring us together, break us down, lift us up, and add color to our lives.
NOTABLE AUTHORS:With over twenty years of experience in the music industry, Alex Bleeker and Luke Pyenson are your perfect guides into the world of touring. Having toured with their own bands-Real Estate and Frankie Cosmos, respectively-they're asking all the right questions, shedding light and understanding on the lives of touring musicians and the people feeding them.
FOOD ANTHOLOGY & MUSIC SCENE DEEP CUT: With interviews and essays from about forty different musicians, chefs, and promoters-ranging from Chris Frantz from Talking Heads to boygenius's private chef Lily Chait-not only is this book a treasure trove of knowledge and insider information, it also offers something for foodies and music enthusiasts alike.
ARMCHAIR TRAVEL: Go behind the curtain all around the world, fromAmerica to Russia, Japan to Italy, and dozens of places in between.Read about your favorite musicians' experiences abroad, all from the comfort of your home.
Perfect for:Musicians and fans of indie musicFoodies, chefs, restaurant owners, and home cooksAnyone interested in the music businessTravel enthusiastsReaders who enjoyedCrying in H Martby Michelle Zauner, Our Band Could Be Your Life by Michael Azerrad, andMixtape Potluck Cookbookby Questlove

2005 | 460 Pages | ISBN: 3540287892 | PDF | 5 MB
TheInternationalConferenceTSD 2005,the8theventin theseriesonText,Speech,and Dialogue, which originated in 1998, presented state-of-the-art technology and recent achievements in the ?eld of natural language processing. It declared its intent to be an interdisciplinary forum, intertwining research in speech and language processing with its applications in everyday practice. We feel that the mixture of different approaches and applications offered a great opportunity to get acquainted with the current act- ities in all aspects of language communication and to witness the amazing vitality of researchers from developing countries too. The ?nancial support of the ISCA (Inter- tional Speech Communication Association) enabled the wide attendance of researchers from all active regions of the world. Thisyear'sconferencewaspartiallyorientedtowardsmulti-modalhuman-computer interaction (HCI), which can be seen as the most attractive topic of HCI at the present time. In this way, we are involved in a rich complex of communicative activity, facial expressions, hand gestures, direction of gaze, to name but the most obvious ones. The interpretationof each user utterancedependson the context,prosody,facial expressions (e. g. brows raised, brows and gaze both raised) and gestures. Hearers have to adapt to the speaker (e. g. maintainingthe theme of the conversation,smiling etc. ). Research into the interaction of these channels is however limited, often focusing on the interaction between a pair of channels.

The Agent ID Model: A Multidisciplinary Framework of Evolutionary Human Behavior
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031759958 | 205 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 23 MB
This book presents a comprehensive model that simulates human behavior in society, meticulously selecting and analyzing fundamental determinants such as skills and productivity, connectivity and network formation, psychological biases, moral behavior, consumption preferences, institutional arrangements, and political choices. Each agent in the model is characterized by a unique profile, and the aggregate outcomes emerge from the interactions of these diverse agents. The model is codified and simulated, and its results are compared with empirical evidence. This work offers an elegant and stylized approach to understanding complex outcomes resulting from simple interaction rules, making a significant contribution to the literature on complexity and agent-based computational economics. The model developed here serves as a transdisciplinary framework, providing an integrated and holistic perspective on human behavior.

Thomas R. Calahan, "The Arctic Observing Network "
English | ISBN: 1606928473 | 2009 | 130 pages | PDF | 8 MB
In April 2007 the US Interagency Research Policy Committee (IARPC) called for the development of an Arctic Observing Network (AON) to understand the causes and consequences of Arctic change. Under the joint leadership of NOAA and NSF, Committee staff prepared Arctic Observing Network (AON): Toward a US Contribution to Pan-Arctic Observing, a summary of ongoing and future Federal Arctic observing activities with a strategy for enhanced coordination and integration of these activities. This document constitutes the biennial update of the US Arctic Research Plan, focusing on observing needs. Enhanced coordination and integration of observing activities, and data and information management, will enable the agencies to respond with increased agility to the science questions posed by the Study of Environmental Arctic Change (SEARCH) program:

1 Is the Arctic system moving to a new state?
2 To what extent is the Arctic system predictable, i.e., what are the potential accuracies and/or uncertainties in predictions of relevant Arctic variables over different time scales?
3 To what extent can recent and ongoing climate changes be attributed to anthropogenic forcing rather than to natural modes of variability?
4 What is the direction and relative importance of system feedbacks?
5 How are terrestrial and marine ecosystems and ecosystem services affected by environmental change and its interactions with human activities?
6 How do cultural and socio-economic systems interact with Arctic environmental change?
7 What are the most consequential links between the Arctic and Earth systems?

The Armour of Hitler's Allies in Action, 1943-1945: Rare Photographs from Wartime Archives (Images of War) by Ian Baxter
English | February 22, 2023 | ISBN: 1399085441 | 128 pages | EPUB | 145 Mb
"...well done book and will be one that both enthusiasts and modelers alike will enjoy." ― ModelingMadness.Com

While much has been written about the Nazis' panzers, comparatively little is known about the armored vehicles in service with the other Axis armies. This classic Images of War book redresses the balance by covering in detail the equipment operated by these nations supporting Hitler's war machine.
Using rare and often unpublished photographs with full captions and authoritative text, it provides a comprehensive coverage of Romanian, Bulgarian and Hungarian tanks and other armored fighting vehicles. In addition, it describes Yugoslavian, Serbian and Slovakian armor in addition to armor originating from the Fatherland.
Examples of tanks and assault guns are the Romanian TCAM R-2 (Panzer 35t tank destroyer), TACAM T-38 (Panzer 38t), the Bulgarian Jadgpanzer 38(t), StuG40 Ausf.G, Pz.Kp.IV AusH and the Hungarian StuG.III Ausf.G, not forgetting Tigers & Panthers.
As well as giving technical specifications, the book traces the fighting record of these vehicles between 1943 - 1945. It shows how armored units fought bands of partisans, and were used to defend their frontiers against the overwhelming might of the Red Army, until they were either captured or destroyed.

The Art of Ectoplasm: Encounters with Winnipeg's Ghost Photographs
by Serena Keshavjee
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1772840378 | 329 Pages | True PDF | 7.1 MB

The legacy of the Hamiltons' psychic archive
In the wake of the First World War and the 1918-19 pandemic, the world was left grappling with a profound sense of loss. It was against this backdrop that a Winnipeg couple, physician T.G. Hamilton and nurse Lillian Hamilton, began their research, documenting and photographing séances they held in their home laboratory. Their extensive study of the survival of human consciousness after death resulted in a stunning collection of hundreds of photographs, including images of tables flying through the air, mediums in trances, and, most curious of all, ectoplasm―a strange, white substance through which ghosts could apparently manifest.
The Art of Ectoplasm invites readers to explore the Hamiltons' research and photographic evidence which has attracted international attention from scholars and artists alike. Notable figures like Arthur Conan Doyle participated in the Hamilton family's séances, and their investigations garnered support among the psychical scientific community, including renowned physicist Oliver Lodge, the inventor of wireless telegraphy. In the century since their creation, the Hamilton photographs (now housed at the University of Manitoba) have continued to perplex and inspire as the subject of academic study, comedic parody, and artistic and cinematic renderings.
This fascinating collection reflects on the history and legacy of the startling and uncanny images found in the Hamilton Family archive. As contemporary society continues to feel the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, The Art of Ectoplasm offers a compelling look at a chapter in social history not entirely unlike our own.

The Boeing B-17 (FlightCraft) by Ben Skipper
English | February 10, 2023 | ISBN: 1399086464 | 96 pages | EPUB | 79 Mb
The B-17 Flying Fortress, a term coined by a Seattle Daily Times report in 1935, was a quantum leap in offensive air power. Designed for a nation whose foreign policy was still deeply isolationist, and an Air Corps whose in-service bomber fleet was dominated by bi-planes, the B-17, with its four engines, huge wingspan, enviable payload - almost double that of contemporary bombers - and all metal construction, ushered in a new age.

For an aircraft of its size and relative complexity the B-17's design and development was heralded by a host of key innovations with the unveiling of the XB-15 (Boeing 294), including engine access crawl ways, enhanced endurance and massive load capacity. Within a year the Y1B-17 or Model 299 had refined ideas from the XB-15 and produced a sleek, attractive-looking aircraft. By 1937 all testing had been completed and the first 12 aircraft were delivered to 2nd Bombardment Group for assessment.
At the start of the Second World War the still-new B-17 was just beginning to fill the ranks of US bomber squadron's and by early 1941 the B-17C, arguably the fastest B-17 built, was flying in RAF Service. The B-17 was soon flying over Europe with the newly-created United States Army Air Forces, as well as taking the fight to the Japanese in the Pacific and to the Axis in the Mediterranean.
When production of the B-17 was halted in April 1945, at which point the B-17 had been supplanted by the B-24 in the Pacific, over 12,700 B-17s had been built. The type would bow out as a bomber not long after the war's end, though a few would soldier on as SB-17 air-sea rescue aircraft. Ultimately the B-17 would fly with 26 countries.
This Flight Craft title offers the modeler an exciting selection of photographs, illustrations and showcase examples to help build their own version of this icon of the skies.

The Buddha's Teaching and the Ambiguity of Existence, 2nd revised edition
R.G. de S. Wettimuny
English | 2023 | ISBN: 9789460900211 | 354 Pages | True ePUB | 1.53 MB

This book might appear unorthodox. Yet it will appear unorthodox only to those who-possibly for want of something more adequate-have accepted as orthodox the current misinterpretations of those Pali Suttas (i.e. Discourses) which are accepted as representing what the Buddha taught. To them this book will, to a large extent, be something new. But it makes no claim to offer ideas never heard of before. Indeed no. What it claims to offer is the pristine Teaching as contained in these Suttas. This Teaching, the Dhamma, is like a ferment. Yet much depends on what it works upon-whether it works upon the lifeless 'ideational' activity of the scholar or upon the passionately interested meditation of the seeker. To the former it is just another intellectual adornment, with which he can adorn himself as and when it pleases him. To the latter it is a vital nutrition (ahara); but, unlike other nutritions, a nutrition that threatens to denourish his entire being, and yet make him happily say to himself: Here, there is no turning back.

The Canadian Shields: Stories and Essays
by Carol Shields, Nora Foster Stovel
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1772840831 | 337 Pages | PDF | 3.21 MB

Newly discovered work by one of Canada's favourite writers
The Canadian Shields brings together fifty short writings by Carol Shields (1935-2003), including more than two dozen previously unpublished short stories and essays and two dozen essays previously published but never before collected. Invaluable to scholars and admirers of Shields's work, the writings discovered in the National Library Archives by Nora Foster Stovel and presented to the public here for the first time reflect Shields's interest in the relationships between reality and fiction, mothers and daughters, and gender and genre. They also reveal her love of Canada, especially Winnipeg, her home for twenty years. Originally written for women's magazines, travel journals, convocation addresses, and even graduate school term papers, Shields's imaginative essays explore ideas about home, Canadian literature, contemporary women's writing, and the future of fiction. Whether autobiographical, cultural, or feminist in focus, these works vividly illuminate the multiple chapters of Shields's writing life.
Margaret Atwood and Lorna Crozier frame Shields's texts with tributes to her work and impact. An introduction by Stovel situates Shields as a Canadian author and subversive feminist writer, demonstrating how American-born-and-raised Carol Anne Warner became "the Canadian Shields"―a quintessential and beloved Canadian writer and the only author to win both the Pulitzer Prize and the Governor General's Gold Medal for Fiction.

The Coming Invasion of Taiwan by Prof. Stephen W. Bradeley BSc (Hons)
English | August 25, 2023 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0CGPG52C5 | 73 pages | EPUB | 0.51 Mb
As an avid reader of geopolitical thrillers and someone with a keen interest in East Asian politics, I found "The Coming Invasion of Taiwan by China" to be an eye-opening and deeply engaging book. The author has done an exceptional job researching historical tensions between China and Taiwan as a foundation to build a frighteningly plausible future scenario.

From the first chapter onward, this gripping novel transports readers to a world on the brink of war in the Asia-Pacific region. The narrative presents a chilling vision of how rising tensions between China and Taiwan could escalate into a full-scale invasion. The author skillfully weaves together political maneuverings, military strategies, and theoretical insights with vivid descriptions of the emotional toll that such an invasion could have on the people of Taiwan, making it an intense read from start to finish.
What truly impressed me were the diverse perspectives presented throughout the book - from high-ranking government officials in Beijing and Washington to frontline soldiers and civilians caught in the crossfire. This multifaceted approach gives readers a comprehensive understanding of the factors that could lead to this potential disaster and provides a thought-provoking exploration of how such situations might be prevented or contained.
Furthermore, this book is not merely about hypotheticals - its value lies in raising awareness among readers about real-world issues that must be considered by policymakers and influencers worldwide. The detailed analysis of economic, cultural, and military matters makes it clear that there are no simple solutions in addressing conflicts between major global powers. For anyone interested in understanding one of today's most pressing geopolitical flashpoints, "The Coming Invasion of Taiwan by China" is a must-read.
This book masterfully combines solid research with captivating storytelling to present audiences with an unsettling yet engrossing experience. From beginning to end, "The Coming Invasion of Taiwan by China" will leave you at the edge of your seat, pondering the complexities of regional power dynamics and the heart-wrenching consequences that could arise when individuals and nations clash.

The Comprehensive Guide to Business Enterprise Architecture by Michael Murray
English | May 3, 2024 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0D3B7HVQ2 | 325 pages | EPUB | 1.22 Mb
This guide redefines Business Enterprise Architecture (BEA) by viewing organizations as dynamic living systems rather than mechanical structures to be controlled. Using the Child-rearing Metaphor, it illustrates how guiding an organization's evolution parallels nurturing a child, emphasizing adaptability, understanding, and a vision for the future.

The book advocates for an Integrated Approach, where the heart, mind, body, and spirit of organizational leadership are aligned with its BEA efforts, ensuring that operational practices mirror the organization's core values and beliefs. This approach not only reinforces the organizational identity but also enhances strategic cohesion across various functional areas.
It also introduces a Systemic Integrated Approach, combining diverse models and methodologies such as systems thinking, lean management, agile methodologies, and more. This flexible framework allows organizations to adapt these practices to their unique needs, ensuring that each component of BEA develops cohesively and at its own pace.
For business leaders and IT strategists, this guide offers a fresh perspective on building adaptive, integrative frameworks that drive sustainable growth and systemic innovation in their organizations.
