Coproduction is dedicated specifically to the study of an emerging field in music production musicology. It explores the limits of what this field might be, from the workings of a few individuals producing music together in the studio, to vast contributions of whole societies producing popular music.Taking a wide-ranging approach to examining the field, Coproduction looks through multiple formats including essays, interviews, and case studies, with analysis and commentary of coproduction experiences at Abbey Road studios. It does so by examining multiple disciplines from social science and coproduction in mental health, to philosophy and mathematics. At its extremes (which is the extreme middle and not the blunt ‘cutting edge’) the authors attempt to produce every song in their development of an all-encompassing pop music concept, peculiarly called Toast theory.In attempting to unite the pragmatic collaborative patterns of Vera John-Steiner with philosophical postmodernist concepts of connection, Coproduction has something to offer readers interested in the traditional workings of teams of producers, as well as those seeking to understand the wider philosophy of collaboration in music production.
The structured oral examination (SOE) and viva are age-old integral components of examination pathways in the specialty training of intensive care medicine (ICM). The viva can present a complex interaction between the examiner and delegate, which can often be challenging even hostile! Organisation and structure are integral to success. This core text is tailored to provide a systematic structure covering a broad set of core topics that could legitimately be presented in an ICM exam. The style and discipline have been repeated throughout the answers to provide essential rehearsal as preparation for any viva-based exam. The book is presented as 7 sets of 6 viva examination cycles. This allows for timed practice sessions in the final few weeks leading up to the SOE and viva. The topics covered are pertinent for the British Fellowship of the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine (FFICM), the European Diploma of Intensive Care Medicine (EDIC) exam, the Australia and New Zealand Fellowship of the College of Intensive Care Medicine (FCICM), the Indian Diploma in Critical Care Medicine (IDCCM), the American Board exams and any other viva-based intensive care medicine exams. This book is a critical companion in the final few weeks of preparation for ICM viva exams.
Billigflieger haben die Luftfahrt revolutioniert - doch fast ausschlie lich auf der Kurz- und Mittelstrecke. W hrend Europa, die USA und Asien l ngst von Low-Cost-Carriern durchzogen sind, bleibt die Langstrecke bis heute das letzte gro e Hindernis des Billigflugmodells. Warum ist das so - und was bedeutet das f r die Zukunft des globalen Reisens? Band 4 der Reihe ber Billigfluggesellschaften widmet sich dieser entscheidenden Frage. Das Buch analysiert, warum sich das Gesch ftsmodell des "Low Cost" nur schwer auf interkontinentale Strecken bertragen l sst, welche wirtschaftlichen, technischen und regulatorischen H rden bestehen und welche Ans tze es dennoch gibt - von Pionieren wie Norwegian bis zu neuen hybriden Konzepten gro er Airline-Gruppen. Dabei wird deutlich: Die Langstrecke ist kein einfacher Markt. Doch steigender Preisdruck, neue Flugzeuggenerationen mit gr erer Effizienz und ein ver ndertes Reiseverhalten k nnten die Karten neu mischen. Dieses Buch zeigt, welche Zukunftsperspektiven das Segment der Billigflug-Langstrecke hat - und ob das Zeitalter des g nstigen interkontinentalen Fliegens wirklich bevorsteht.

Low-cost airlines have revolutionised aviation - but almost exclusively on short- and medium-haul routes. While Europe, the USA and Asia have long been saturated with low-cost carriers, long-haul flights remain the last major obstacle to the low-cost flight model. Why is this the case - and what does it mean for the future of global travel? Volume 4 of the series on low-cost airlines addresses this crucial question. The book analyses why the 'low-cost' business model is difficult to transfer to intercontinental routes, what economic, technical and regulatory hurdles exist, and what approaches are nevertheless available - from pioneers such as Norwegian to new hybrid concepts from large airline groups. It becomes clear that long-haul flights are not an easy market. However, increasing price pressure, new generations of more efficient aircraft and changing travel behaviour could reshuffle the cards. This book shows what the future holds for the low-cost long-haul segment - and whether the era of affordable intercontinental flying is really just around the corner.

Le compagnie aeree low cost hanno rivoluzionato il settore dell'aviazione, ma quasi esclusivamente sulle tratte brevi e medie. Mentre l'Europa, gli Stati Uniti e l'Asia sono ormai da tempo attraversati da vettori low cost, le tratte a lungo raggio rimangono ancora oggi l'ultimo grande ostacolo al modello dei voli economici. Quali sono le ragioni di questa situazione e quali sono le implicazioni per il futuro dei viaggi globali?

A Political Biography of Sarah Fielding provides the most complete discussion of Fielding’s works and career currently available. Tracing the development of Fielding’s artistic and instructive agendas from her earliest publications forward, Johnson presents a compelling portrait of a deeply read author who sought to claim a place within literary culture for women’s experiences. As a practical didacticist, Fielding sought to teach her readers to live happier, more fulfilling lives by appropriating and at times resisting the texts that defined their culture. While Fielding often retreats from the overtly political concerns that captured the attention of her contemporaries, her works are daring forays into the public sphere that both challenge and reinforce the foundations of British society. Giving voice to those who have been marginalized, Fielding’s creative productions are at once conservative and radical, revealing her ambiguous appreciation for tradition, her fears of modernity, and her abiding commitment to women who must live within forever imperfect worlds.
The field of medicinal/aromatic plant breeding is growing and changing?this resource will help you stay up to date! In this essential book, researchers from large and small laboratories and institutions throughout Europe and the Mediterranean region explore recent developments in the selection and breeding of aromatic and medicinal plants. They take varied approaches?from traditional breeding to the use of molecular markers?and complement them with up-to-date information on biodiversity and resource conservation. From the editors: ?It is widely recognized that a strategy of `conservation through use,? by which plant collection via wild harvesting is replaced by controlled cultivation, is the best way forward if we are to balance human demands with the necessary conservation of the biodiversity represented by these species. That provides one major driving force for research in this field. Another concerns the very real need for improving the quality control of products on the market, both to satisfy consumer demand and to conform with the (justifiably) increasing requirements for standardization and precise identification of the composition of the plant materials being sold for human use. We hope that this volume will give readers a taste of the exciting developments in the field.? Breeding Research on Aromatic and Medicinal Plants examines: breeding for resistance and abiotic factors manipulating natural product accumulation through genetic engineering biochemical and molecular regulation of essential oil accumulation economic and legal considerations that breeders will encounter the ethical aspects of breeding these plants

Small, Irrelevant Matters is a collection of nine short stories that take place in rural Virginia. The stories touch on moments in the lives of farmers, college students, soldiers, foundry workers and store clerks. They explore the space in-between life's bigger events: car rides and lunch breaks where the simplest interaction, a brief gesture or a thoughtless remark, can change lives unexpectedly. These quiet vignettes are snapshots of the way we treat each other, day to day, when a few quickly uttered words, which may be forgotten by one, can remain forever etched in the consciousness of another.
Hey my name is Christopher 'CJ' Johnson; in this book I offer some of the basic things that beginner skateboarders need to master before they get to the tricks and the stunts. Always remember that safety comes first, this book offers the fundamentals, which is the best weapon to avoid accidents or injury while skateboarding. The journey started when I was about six years old and I first picked up a skateboard. I can still remember how it felt riding downhill near my house. While all of my other friends were off doing other things, I just found it exhilarating. When I wasn't skateboarding, I would watch professional skateboarders on television, like Tony Hawk, Terry Kennedy, and Rodney Mullen, and how much people loved them as they were whisked away from one part of the globe to another, all with just a skateboard in hand.I always wanted to be like them, to practice like them, to travel around the world and visit all the famous skateboard parks. My own professional skateboarding career started to truly blossom around the age of twelve with the guidance of the stars and their alternating methods. In fact, I think of myself as still learning every day, and embrace every second of my passion.Skateboarding takes practice and skill, and a tough body to handle the bumps and bruises along the way. It has taken me many years to learn and that's just touching the surface of what the greats have accomplished in their own lives.Skateboarding is my calling; a good method of exercise, and the best method of transportation available, as you don't have to wait around for public transportation or worry about the high expenses related to owning a car. All you do is pick up your skateboard and hit the road. It's a good stress relief, It's funny looking back, my mom always wanted to drive me to the places I needed to go that were a mile or two out of the way, but I refused the ride. I was too attached to my board. If I was upset about something that happened in my day I would skate around for a few hours and let myself calm down, or practice just as hard. I often spent countless days a week and sometimes even months, practicing one trick.Granted, it wasn't the only thing I engaged in. On top of skateboarding, I had a video-editing gig that helped to get me where I am today. Just me and my film crew of friends, who got passionate about it, the first time we watched video game clips on YouTube. Certain video streams always seemed to have a boatload of subscribers and they did every little thing you could imagine with the music, the characters, and even the voice-overs. I always got chills when I noticed how the music seemed to fit right in place with what the character on the screen was doing, and then the added special effects were edited in to give it a real bang. I mean it was just cool, the stuff these guys could do with a computer.So I picked up the job with all the enthusiasm I had in me. And still at the age of twelve, I made my own YouTube channel. I was eventually picked up by a very popular YouTuber and asked to do video manipulations for them. I became really good at it and not only the people who hired me for the task thought so, but also friends on my Xbox live account.Can you imagine just how cool it is to have someone send you a message or ask you in the middle of a game, "Hey, aren't you CJ . . . the one who edited that video?" It felt great to be recognized, like I was suddenly becoming my own celebrity. I loved the recognition, my subscribers also loved that I was always around for them to talk to.However, I was forced to abandon my YouTube account when personal issues came up.It was a wonderful experience for me as it helped me become a huge hit-not just in the gaming phase, but also in real life skating and the videos that came of it. I look forward to many more wonderful opportunities that life has to offer now that I'm officially an adult
