Shane MacGowan "You know, some people are lucky, and some people aren't. I'm a lucky guy, as a general rule.""I was brought up on a farm and then in London. In their own different ways both places offer plenty of opportunity to get in trouble. I took the opportunities.""You've got to have a strong urge to be heard. You've got to have this welling up inside you, like wanting to be sick, you know? Then you've got to scream it out, you've got to sing it out, you've got to play it out, you've got to make music, you know what I mean? That's what a musician is. A good musician has to put music before everything.""I'm proud of everything the Irish do well.... What a talented race. I'm proud to be one of them. Great sportsmen, great soldiers, great musicians, great lovers, great artists. Nobody loves like an Irishman. And women always find Irishmen attractive. I think women are attracted by the fact that Irishmen are so much more intelligent than Englishmen. That's a bit of a generalisation of course. There are some glaring exceptions to that rule... There's no bigger bastard than an Irish bastard.""I don't agree with dogmatic morality.... I'm a Catholic Taoist. I believe in going with the flow. I'm a hedonist. I like to live well. I like to eat and drink and dance and sing and screw and get the most out of life. When I'm just enjoying myself completely, that's when I feel the most religious as well. Because I thank God for it, for pleasure. Because there's so much pain in this world. I think you should have as much pleasure as you possibly can."Nick Cave "'Shane is very innocent in a lot of ways. There's a love and warmth within him which is often overlooked. And he is incredibly open to the things around him, which is why he's such a great writer. He sees the beauty and horror in things, and his gift is to be able to articulate that in a very simple way."Depp "Shane and Marlon Brando. These are two guys who are completely true to their vision, non-conforming, uncompromising. I think Marlon is an incredibly gifted artist... in his thoughts, ideas and anything he does. Shane's the same. They're a couple of guys whose first instinct is always to go against the grain, it's an admirable trait in anyone." Bono "I don't think anyone writes better lyrics than Shane MacGowan. He's what Keith Richards would describe as a 'specialist'."
"I hadn't met SinEad before. Her face was lively and expressive, captivating, with an indefinable air that encompassed fragility, strength, experience, intensity and something feral. We drank tea and talked. Eventually we moved to another room with a huge bay window and perfect daylight. I had set up a backdrop and we sat either side of a table. I gradually shot four rolls of 120 film - 48 frames - with my Rolleiflex while we continued our conversation. It's a gentle camera, with a leaf shutter that is almost silent. It has an easy presence and doesn't intrude in the way many cameras do."The book reproduces the full sequence of photographs from the shoot including all the outtakes. It gives a fascinating insight into both the subject and the photographic process as the frame is rearranged and develops over time.

Housing Partnerships

Although the United States has developed highly sophisticated markets for funding corporate investment projects, markets for financing home ownership are comparatively rudimentary. When a corporation wishes to fund a project, it can choose any mix of debt and equity financing. In contrast, to buy a home, a household must take on debt in the form of a mortgage. The authors of this book propose the development of new markets, called Partnership Markets, that would allow households to use equity finance to buy their homes. With these new markets, a household would be able to finance housing not only with a mortgage, but also with an institutional investor who would provide part of the equity capital for the house in exchange for a share of the ultimate selling price.The new markets would offer many benefits to both homeowners and the broader financial community. In the current market, many Americans are forced to rent housing because they cannot afford to buy. Those who do buy are burdened with high debt payments. They also have the vast majority of their wealth tied up in their home and are exposed to the high risk levels of such an undiversified portfolio. With Partnership Markets, households would be able to buy homes with much smaller mortgages, thereby greatly reducing their expenses. They would also be able to diversify their assets and create less risky portfolios. For the broader financial community, Partnership Markets would provide an opportunity to diversify into the residential real estate market.To give the reader a rounded view of their proposal, the authors explain the economic theory of the housing market and the housing finance market, as well as key aspects of the institutional structure and performance records of the current market. They discuss the wider ramifications of their proposal, including changes in the form and structure of the secondary market, the government's role in the housing market, the composition of assets held by institutions, and the general level of risk for individuals.
An Introduction to Cognitive Economics
Andrew Caplin
Springer International Publishing AG

sidottu
This book introduces readers to “cognitive economics,” a rapidly emerging interdisciplinary science built on economic, psychological, and data scientific foundations. Throughout the book, economist Andrew Caplin provides new approaches to help scholars collaborate and solve problems that can shape economic outcomes and bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and the real world. Divided into two parts, the first section brings readers up to speed on economic concepts that underlie decision-making mistakes, such as utility functions, subjective beliefs, and costs of learning. It also explores real-world applications, including improvements in legal decision-making, online privacy protection, and optimizing human-AI collaboration. The book also discusses the future impact of AI on the workforce and emphasizes the need for decision-making skills and financial literacy in navigating this evolving landscape. In the second section of the book, Caplin addresses the barriers to progress within social sciences, advocating for interdisciplinary cooperation and innovative measurement techniques to advance the field. The book invites readers to contribute to the development of cognitive economics. Whether you are a socially-conscious and hard-working citizen, business leader, scholar, or policymaker, this book will help you understand why cognitive economics matters to you and how you can contribute to its takeoff. This book is available open access, which means it is freely available online.

That mistakes are made is clear. What is meant by that is not. Measuring whatever might be meant and scientifically studying it is therefore even more challenging.These lectures introduce an interdisciplinary science of mistakes to cut the Gordian knot. The key building blocks are model constructs drawn from the economic tradition, methods of measurement drawn from the psychometric tradition, and analytic methods drawn from economic theory.

For decades, rumors and vague memories have circulated Mormons about their history in Mexico. Pancho Villa seized northern Mexico right where the Mormons had settled. Many say that Villa ran the Mormons out of Mexico. However, evidence shows otherwise. Villa needed the Mormons as much as the Mormons needed Villa. The content of this book shows that the Mormons and Villa came together as friends. Although they were surrounded by enemies, both were searching for "friends among enemies." Por decadas, rumores y vagos recuerdos han circulado los mormones sobre su historia en Mexico. Pancho Villa se apodero del norte del pais mexicano -justo donde se colonizaron los mormones.

"It is a book for manufacturing companies that are fighting desperately for survival and that will go to any length to improve their factories and overcome the obstacles to success. One could even call this book a ‘bible’ for corporate survival."—Hiroyuki Hirano Known as the JIT bible in Japan, JIT Implementation Manual — The Complete Guide to Just-in-Time Manufacturing presents the genius of Hiroyuki Hirano, a top international consultant with vast experience throughout Asia and the West. Encyclopedic in scope, this six-volume practical reference provides unparalleled information on every aspect of JIT— the waste-eliminating, market-oriented production system. This historic, yet timeless classic is just as crucial in today’s fast-changing global marketplace as when it was first published in Japan 20 years ago.Volume 4: Leveling — Changeover and Quality Assurance provides essential background on the core concept of level production in a JIT, or lean, manufacturing system and the implementation techniques. It also discusses changeover and the rules and procedures for changeover improvement and covers quality assurance in the context of level production, including how to recognize structures that create defects, plan for achieving zero defects, and make use of mistake-proofing devices.
The consolidated PBY Catalina was probably the most versatile and successful flying boat/amphibian ever built, serving not just with the US Army, Navy and Coast Guard during the Second World War, but also with the air forces of Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, with the Danes, Free French and Norwegians as well as in Brazil, Chile, Indonesia and elsewhere. With a remarkable lifting capacity and endurance, this long-range twin-engine aircraft could absorb a great deal of punishment and still return home after flights lasting an entire day and covering thousands of miles. It was employed as a maritime reconnaissance aircraft, as a bomber and torpedo-bomber, as an anti-submarine weapon, as a mine layer, as a special operations machine and as a search-and-rescue craft by day and night. It ferried stores, mail and people - many of them sick and injured - across the world's oceans. In this book Andrew Hendrie tells the story of the "Flying Cats", of their achievements and exploits, of the heroism of many of the crews and the problems they had to endure.
Coyote Calling: Advanced Concepts & Tactics Volume 1

What is the true calling of the intellectual? In this provocative new book, Andrew Shanks presents a distinctive fresh answer. The Other Calling is a systematic riposte both to the elitism of philosophy in the heritage of Plato, and to the typical individualism of Plato's philosophic opponents. Here, instead, intellectual integrity is identified with a form of priesthood. Asserts that intellectuals are critical to bringing together the common aspirations of a community Offers a strikingly original approach to the moral and political aspects of theology’s relationship with philosophy, exploring the perspectives of both disciplines Draws on the work and thought of Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Agnostics, and Atheists Argues for a new, religiously multicultural “priesthood of all thinkers”, considering how once, all intellectuals were as a matter of course also priests Published in the new and prestigious Illuminations series
Business leaders have tremendous power to influence our society, how it operates, whether it is fair, and the extent to which it impacts the environment. And yet, we do not recognize or call out the responsibility that comes with that power. This book is meant to challenge future business leaders to think differently about their career, its purpose, and its value as a calling or vocation, one that is in service to society. Its message is for current and prospective business students, business leaders thinking anew about the role of business in society, and the business educators that train all these people. We face great challenges as a society today, from environmental problems like climate change and habitat destruction, to social problems like income inequality, unemployment, lack of a living wage, and poor access to affordable health care and education. Solutions to these challenges must come from the market (as comprised of corporations, the government, and nongovernmental organizations, as well as the many stakeholders in market transaction, such as the consumers, suppliers, buyers, insurance companies, and banks), the most powerful institution on earth, and from business, which is the most powerful entity within it. Though government is an important and vital arbiter of the market, business is the force that transcends national boundaries, possessing resources that exceed those of many nations. Business is responsible for producing the buildings that we live and work in, the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the forms of mobility we employ, and the energy that propels us. This does not mean that only business can generate solutions or that there is no role for government, but with its unmatched powers of ideation, production, and distribution, business is positioned to bring the change we need at the scale we need it. Without business, the solutions will remain elusive. Indeed, if there are no solutions coming from the market, there will be no solutions. And without visionary and service-oriented leaders, business will never even try to find them.

The art of calling to predators is the true essence of predator hunting. Developing and using sound sequences is an exciting tactic that brings cagey coyotes and finicky foxes running to any hunters setup. The problem is that there are so many questions about developing productive sequences.This book takes all the guesswork out of creating sequences and presents a variety of proven sequences that can be used during all times throughout the calling season. Think of this book as coach's play book that contains all the calling tricks to use while afield. The text explains...- Sequences that red fox cannot resist- How to target Grayfox and make them come running - How to call in any predator with an earshot while not scaring others away - Several coyote-only sequences that work during all phases of the season.Note: Although a majority of the sounds in the sequences are from the Foxpro library, the author points out that all sounds can be substituted with sounds from offer sources. The sequences will be still be effective when similar sounds are used.This second edition has been updated in the Summer of 2020 to include more sequences which has proved to be effective since the books initial release.
