When Hall of Fame pitcher and five-time Cy Young Award winner Randy Johnson seamlessly transitioned from his legendary playing career to his lifelong passion photography his understanding of timing and rhythm in baseball translated to his ability to capture dynamic and decisive moments in his photographs. Traveling throughout Africa with camera in hand, he has documented the untamed beauty of this vast continent's landscapes, the diversity of its wildlife, and the vibrant lives of the people who inhabit and care for this land. Together these 100 images become a testament to Africa s diverse tapestry of life. A foreword by acclaimed sports photographer Jon SooHoo, the official photographer for the L.A. Dodgers, underscores that the same combination of talent, skill, focus, and luck that carried Johnson through his legendary career now tells compelling visual stories that are an opportunity to pause, reflect, and marvel. A must-have for all those who love our planet, this book is a powerful reminder of the importance of conserving Africa s natural and cultural heritages.

Randy Goldberg

CRC Press Inc
2000
sidottu
The demand for digital speech coding algorithms grows every day, fueled by applications such as streaming speech over the Internet, Internet telephone, digital cellular telephony, wireless teleconferencing, and various multimedia applications. Until now, most of the books available on audio coding have been collections of individually authored papers. Others have discussed the fundamental coders, but neglected many of the innovations currently in use. Unlike these books, A Practical Handbook of Speech Coders offers in-depth treatment of the basics of speech coding plus the innovations to the basic methods that make the coders useful and efficient.The authors designed this work for engineers, scientists, and manager who need to understand the emerging speech coding techniques and telecommunication standards. However, it will prove useful to people at all levels of speech coder experience:If you want to simply download the code for an existing algorithm, this book helps you evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of all publicly available codes and choose the right one, then points you to the Internet location where the code is available for download. For experts who want to improve on existing coders, this book provides the parameters of current coders and the techniques to improve upon them. You can download an existing algorithm or code it using the algorithmic descriptions in the book, make your innovations, and then test the code with the procedures given. If you want to become an expert and have some basic knowledge of digital signal processing, you can learn the innovative steps taken by the inventor of each coder, explore the rigorous research techniques needed to develop your own coder, and become proficient in existing vocoder technology.

A Taste for Chaos

A Taste for Chaos

Randy Fertel

SPRING PUBLICATIONS
2023
pokkari
The arc of Western civilization has always driven toward mastering the world through reason, will, craft, and objectivity. Yet shadowing this arc is another that suggests we can know more of the world through non-rational means-through spontaneity, intuition, instinct, and subjectivity. "A Taste for Chaos" explores this undercurrent of spontaneity in literature and the arts. It identifies a new metagenre where improvisation rules: texts that claim to have been written without effort or craft, like an idea that hits you in the shower, each a challenge to the mainstream, dominant culture. It argues that while once written from the margins, improvisations make up much of the Western Canon's center: John Milton's "Paradise Lost," Laurence Sterne's" Tristram Shandy," William Wordsworth's "Tintern Abbey," Alfred Lord Tennyson's "Idylls of the King," Mark Twain's "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," James Joyce's "Ulysses," ThomasMann's "Dr. Faustus." It also offers close readings of C.G. Jung's "Red Book" and Ian McEwan's" Saturday."

Today's nose art has become the rule and not the exception throughout the bomber and tanker fores of Strategic Air Command, and although Tactical Air Command frowns on non-standard markings of any sort, several TAC gained Air National Guard units have artwork on their aircraft. Tradition plays a large part in modem nose art. As shown in Randy Walkers' new book cartoons and sexy ladies have returned. Names like "Memphis Belle", "Chow Hound" and "Maid in the USA", that once went to war on B-17s and B-24s are now carried by B-52s and FB-111s, as well as many other modem aircraft. This modem nose art is often applied by a professional artist, though it is sometimes painted by members of the unit, and in the process some excellent artwork has been created.

The Great Canadian Trivia Book

The Great Canadian Trivia Book

Randy Ray; Mark Kearney

Hounslow Press
1996

Canada has given the world the real Winnie the Pooh, the phrase "Beatlemania," and the man who invented the Academy Awards. If it weren’t for Canada, we might not have the pie-in-the-face gag, basketball, time zones, or the dotted white line on the middle of highways. And anyone who still thinks Canada is dull obviously doesn’t know about the Canadian who was the longest serving prisoner on Alcatraz, or the night that members of Parliament threw books and toy balloons at each other during a wild debate in the House of Commons. The Great Canadian Trivia Book explores the noteworthy and the notorious, the factual and the phenomenal, the obscure and outlandish sides of the Great White North.

Blackbird Song

Blackbird Song

Randy Lundy

University of Regina Press
2018
nidottu
An exquisite series of meditations on memory, evanescence and the land. Randy Lundy draws deeply from his Cree heritage and equally from European and Asian traditions. Readers will be reminded by turns of Simon Ortiz, PÓr Lagerkvist, and Jane Hirshfield. This is the mind of prayer, a seeing and re-seeing of the immense cyclic beauty of the earth. "Lundy has entered the place where the masters reside. His poems join the shades that walk among them. There aren't many people who get to that place and sometimes it can feel very lonely there, but the masters are saved by the brilliant and humble work they have done, their poems the crevices in our lives where the light shines through." -- Patrick Lane, author of Washita "Randy Lundy's poems bring forward the spirit of his Cree ancestry, and place our species humbly among the creatures of Earth—who are all observed with deep reverence and perceptive care." -- Don McKay, author of Strike/Slip "This is the book of poems I've been waiting for … His poems burn us, feed us, and make us feel beloved even if we have been broken. Language, as he uses it, holds us and leads us to a place where we can mourn and pray and wonder." -- Lorna Crozier, author of What the Soul Doesn't Want

Field Notes for the Self

Field Notes for the Self

Randy Lundy

University of Regina Press
2020
nidottu
Field Notes for the Self is a series of dark meditations: spiritual exercises in which the poem becomes a forensics of the soul. The poems converse with Patrick Lane, John Thompson, and Charles Wright, but their closest cousins may be Arvo Pärt's tintinnabulations—overlapping structures in which notes or images are rung slowly and repeatedly like bells. The goal is freedom from illusion, freedom from memory, from "the same old stories" of Lundy's violent past; and freedom, too, from the unreachable memories of the violence done to his Indigenous ancestors, which, Lundy tells us, seem to haunt his cellular biology. Rooted in exquisitely modulated observations of the natural world, the singular achievement of these poems is mind itself, suspended before interior vision like a bit of crystal twisting in the light. "Dispassionate yet impassioned, stark yet bristling with images, the poems encompass contradiction and expansion." — Arc Poetry Magazine Praise for Randy Lundy: "Here is a poet of whom one can say—quietly, simply, with gratitude—that highest of praises: the real thing." — Jane Hirshfield, author of The Beauty "Randy Lundy has entered the place where the masters reside…" — Patrick Lane, author of Washita
