Indigenous Cultural Translation is about the process that made it possible to film the 2011 Taiwanese blockbuster Seediq Bale in Seediq, an endangered indigenous language. Seediq Bale celebrates the headhunters who rebelled against or collaborated with the Japanese colonizers at or around a hill station called Musha starting on October 27, 1930, while this book celebrates the grandchildren of headhunters, rebels, and collaborators who translated the Mandarin-language screenplay into Seediq in central Taiwan nearly eighty years later.As a "thick description" of Seediq Bale, this book describes the translation process in detail, showing how the screenwriter included Mandarin translations of Seediq texts recorded during the Japanese era in his screenplay, and then how the Seediq translators backtranslated these texts into Seediq, changing them significantly. It argues that the translators made significant changes to these texts according to the consensus about traditional Seediq culture they have been building in modern Taiwan, and that this same consensus informs the interpretation of the Musha Incident and of Seediq culture that they articulated in their Mandarin-Seediq translation of the screenplay as a whole. The argument more generally is that in building cultural consensus, indigenous peoples like the Seediq are "translating" their traditions into alternative modernities in settler states around the world.

When Mark, a struggling small-business owner, hesitantly decides to meet an old friend of his father's for a day of fishing and "business advice," he doesn't expect much. As far as he knows, his father has no real experience in business after all, and the "the captain" he is supposed to meet doesn't exactly sound like a particularly helpful resource either. Little does he know that his day out on the lake with the man will change everything, identifying the blind spots in his own business understanding, attitudes, and perspectives. He'll learn a great many things from the captain, but none more important than the concept of "Vision Meets Execution," which details how the roles of CEO and COO need to work in concert and harmony to drive any business toward success, whether it's a business with hundreds of employees or a business of one. Astounded by all he's learned; Mark invites the captain to a meeting with his Office manager Dawn (whom he quickly realizes has been his COO all along) to expand on his incredible mentorship. That meeting would change every aspect of Mark's business, establishing and clarifying the role of every team member and how they interrelate, embracing candour and inclusivity, and ensuring that every member of the team, including the CEO and COO, figure out how to stay in their own lanes.Though set within a fictional framework with the intent of making its lessons and advice a bit more palatable than the more common, and predictably dry, business manuals, make no mistake: This guide to business success will change the way you look at your business, regardless of its size, and with wisdom and insight that are easily grasped and put into action, help it reach new heights of success.

Building Musical Culture in Nineteenth-Century Amsterdam

When people attend classical music concerts today, they sit and listen in silence, offering no audible reactions to what they're hearing. We think of that as normal-but, as Darryl Cressman shows in this book, it's the product of a long history of interrelationships between music, social norms, and technology. Using the example of Amsterdam's Concertgebouw in the nineteenth century, Cressman shows how its design was in part intended to help discipline and educate concert audiences to listen attentively - and analysis of its creation and use offers rich insights into sound studies, media history, science and technology studies, classical music, and much more.
Completing your chores can take such a long time. With help from Gyro the robot, Maz and Katt's chores are finished fast Science stories Written for the inquisitive minds of children, this book aims to introduce the wonders of the physical world. Scientific concepts are introduced in a fun and understandable way, helping and encouraging children to enquire and learn. With the rapid pace of technological development, it is important that children are introduced and exposed to key scientific concepts at an early age. Connecting children with these ideas early in life through storytelling provides familiarity with these topics to assist them with their ongoing education. Science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) skills have become extremely important to keep up with the continually changing world around us and will be essential for careers of the future. These books encourage children to develop a curiosity and passion for understanding the world around us, so they may go on to become lifelong learners who are scientifically-literate and value evidence-based practice.

Recently, I read somewhere that Calvin Trillin once said (something like): 'The problem with writing satire in America, is that it's difficult to invent something so completely bizarre that it might not actually occur before what you've written is published.' That fear has haunted me since the day I began work on this piece. Though, clearly, whoever is grinding out the idiocy these days doesn't need any help from me. But, it is becoming more difficult to find humor in the fact that a great nation is being held hostage by a tiny handful of hyper-sensitive lamebrains, who have gotten themselves into the position where what they say is taken seriously rather than ridiculed loudly, laughed at openly, dismissed entirely, and quickly forgotten. When it comes to politics, of course most of us prefer dreaming to almost anything reality might offer, but, it's time to wake up.
Hania Hawke is an irregular; a super-powered being in a society that hasn't quite accepted them as commonplace.

But when he finds himself in a conflict of identity and his first super villain, he must ask him: Can a smart-mouthed young man with daddy issues save anyone? Does he have the right to?
