Poetry by Shay Caroline Simmons. Out and honest gut-punch words.
The debutante path is a fairly straight track: who you are, who you associate with, and whose label you are wearing become priorities. They define you. They are the aspects by which you are judged. Ashlyn's world has been one of enlightenment and finesse, and now she is ready to take on the financial world at her father's company just as he had always planned. Her future had been scripted long ago, but a chance meeting with a beautiful boy on a bicycle gives Ashlyn a new outlook on life. Ethan is far too young, far too tattooed, far too pierced-just far too everything-to ever fit into her world. He has issues, too-major ones. Ashlyn knows he will never be accepted by her friends, let alone her overbearing father, but there is something about his live-in-the-moment outlook that keeps drawing her back into his arms. Ashlyn must make a choice. Can she forgo the family dynasty and live life to the fullest with this fascinating but damaged young man?
Sasha is young woman who has been told lies her whole life. When she found out the truth her world came crashing down around her. Which helped build a wall around her heart. She ran away to get a fresh start and live the life she wanted not the one given to her. Becoming carefree and a little wild she enjoys her life if nothing else. Samuel is a lion shifter who has a deep bond with his family especially his three brothers. His life is content or it was until he seen his beautiful neighbor from across the street. He felt a strong pull to Sasha and would do anything to meet her and make her is mate. First he must find a way to tell her who he really is. When Sasha's past shows up the hunky lion shifter Samuel will do everything to protect her and make sure she gets a choice in the life she lives. Even if that means he will lose her in the process of saving her.
This book was a long time coming. After operating as an angel for about five years I realized there were younger people, younger angels, and maybe older folks with less combat experience who needed the kind of information I had accumulated. You see I had really begun this life many many years ago as a five year old child kneeling in the pew with my father as we learned what the difference was between right and wrong. The war I have been waging started all the way back then. But now I was looking at things in a whole new light. I was watching demons and angels jump through traffic. I was seeing angels and demons that were supposed to be invisible. Most of all, I was helping people. So this book is just that: a little instruction manual for folks who are just beginning this kind of life. Folks, this is something that the world has never seen, and most likely never will again; that is, until I write a sequel.

I'm not exactly the social type. After spending most of my formative years in prison, I prefer an isolated existence in the wilderness of Canada's Northwest Territories, making what little cash I need guiding tourists to the best hunting grounds. I have no desire for company; I crave solitude instead, especially during the subarctic winter months, but what am I supposed to do when I come across a woman in distress? I can't just leave her to die in the cold, and a storm is on the way. So now we are confined to my secluded cabin, and I quickly realize there's something not quite right about Seri-or is her name Netti? She switches moods faster than a snowshoe hare changes direction. In fact, I'm starting to think there's more than one person behind the mystifying woman's intense, green eyes. Physically, only two of us are trapped inside the rustic cabin, but I still feel outnumbered.
It only takes one moment to change your life forever . . .After her mother's deportation last year, all Soledad "Sol" Gutierrez wants is for her life to go back to normal. Everything's changed--new apartment, new school, new family dynamic--and Sol desperately wants to fit in. When she joins her community college's history club, it comes with an odd initiation process: break into Westray's oldest house and steal . . . a fork?There's just one problem: while the owners of the house aren't home, their grandson Ethan is, and when he catches Sol with her hand in the kitchen drawer, she barely escapes with the fork intact. This one chance encounter irrevocably alters her life, and Sol soon learns that sometimes fitting in isn't as important as being yourself--even if that's the hardest thing she's ever had to do.
The Phenomenology of a Performative Knowledge System
Shay Welch
Springer Nature Switzerland AG

This book investigates the phenomenological ways that dance choreographing and dance performance exemplify both Truth and meaning-making within Native American epistemology, from an analytic philosophical perspective. Given that within Native American communities dance is regarded both as an integral cultural conduit and “a doorway to a powerful wisdom,” Shay Welch argues that dance and dancing can both create and communicate knowledge. She explains that dance—as a form of oral, narrative storytelling—has the power to communicate knowledge of beliefs and histories, and that dance is a form of embodied narrative storytelling. Welch provides analytic clarity on how this happens, what conditions are required for it to succeed, and how dance can satisfy the relational and ethical facets of Native epistemology.
In this book, Shay Welch expands on the contemporary cognitive thinking-in-movement framework, which has its roots in the work of Maxine Sheets-Johnstone but extends and develops within contemporary embodied cognition theory. Welch believes that dance can be used to ask questions, and this book offers a method of how critical inquiry can be embodied. First, she presents the theoretical underpinnings of what this process is and how it can work; second, she introduces the empirical method as a tool that can be used by movers for the purpose of doing embodied inquiry. Exploring the role of embodied cognition and embodied metaphors in mining the body for questions, Welch demonstrates how to utilize movement to explore embodied practices of knowing. She argues that our creative embodied movements facilitate our ability to bodily engage in critical analysis about the world.

Bayesian Analysis in Natural Language Processing, Second Edition

Natural language processing (NLP) went through a profound transformation in the mid-1980s when it shifted to make heavy use of corpora and data-driven techniques to analyze language. Since then, the use of statistical techniques in NLP has evolved in several ways. One such example of evolution took place in the late 1990s or early 2000s, when full-fledged Bayesian machinery was introduced to NLP. This Bayesian approach to NLP has come to accommodate various shortcomings in the frequentist approach and to enrich it, especially in the unsupervised setting, where statistical learning is done without target prediction examples. In this book, we cover the methods and algorithms that are needed to fluently read Bayesian learning papers in NLP and to do research in the area. These methods and algorithms are partially borrowed from both machine learning and statistics and are partially developed "in-house" in NLP. We cover inference techniques such as Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling and variational inference, Bayesian estimation, and nonparametric modeling. In response to rapid changes in the field, this second edition of the book includes a new chapter on representation learning and neural networks in the Bayesian context. We also cover fundamental concepts in Bayesian statistics such as prior distributions, conjugacy, and generative modeling. Finally, we review some of the fundamental modeling techniques in NLP, such as grammar modeling, neural networks and representation learning, and their use with Bayesian analysis.
