Download or read book Accordion Dreams written by Blair Kilpatrick and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2009 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By age thirty-nine, Blair Kilpatrick had settled into life as a practicing psychologist, wife, and mother. Then a chance encounter in New Orleans turned her world upside down. She returned home to Chicago with unlikely new passions for Cajun music and its defining instrument, the accordion. Captivated by recurring dreams of playing the Cajun accordion, she set out to master it. Yet she was not a musician, was too self-conscious to dance, and didn't even sing in the shower. Kilpatrick's obsession took her from Chicago's Cajun dance scene to a folk music camp in West Virginia, back and forth to south Louisiana, and even to a Cajun festival in France. An unexpected family move brought her to the San Francisco Bay Area, home to the largest Cajun-zydeco music scene outside the Gulf Coast. There she became a prot--and--eacute;g--and--eacute; of renowned accordionist Danny Poullard, a Louisiana-born Creole and the guiding spirit of the local Louisiana French music community. Engaging, uplifting, and illuminating a unique patch of the American cultural landscape, Accordion Dreams is Kilpatrick's account of the possibility of passion, risk-taking, and change--at any age. Blair Kilpatrick has an independent practice in psychotherapy in the San Francisco Bay Area. She also performs and records with Sauce Piquante, a traditional Cajun-Creole band she founded in the late 1990s. Learn more at www.blairkilpatrick.com
Download or read book Ethics Art and Representations of the Holocaust written by Simone Gigliotti and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2013-11-22 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American-Jewish philosopher Berel Lang has left an indelible impression on an unusually broad range of fields that few scholars can rival. From his earliest innovations in philosophy and meta-philosophy, to his ground-breaking work on representation, historical writing, and art after Auschwitz, he has contributed original and penetrating insights to the philosophical, literary, and historical debates on ethics, art, and the representation of the Nazi Genocide. In honor of Berel Lang’s five decades of scholarly and philosophical contributions, the editors of Ethics, Art and Representations of the Holocaust invited seventeen eminent scholars from around the world to discuss Lang’s impact on their own research and to reflect on how the Nazi genocide continues to resonate in contemporary debates about antisemitism, commemoration and poetic representations. Resisting what Alvin Rosenfeld warned as “the end of the Holocaust”, the essays in this collection signal the Holocaust as an event without closure, of enduring resonance to new generations of scholars of genocide, Jewish studies, and philosophy. Readers will find original and provocative essays on topics as diverse as Nietzsche’s reputed Nazi leanings, Jewish anti-apartheid activists in South Africa, wartime rescue in Poland, philosophical responses to the Holocaust, hidden diaries in the Kovno Ghetto, and analyses of reactions to trauma in classic literary works by Bernhard Schlink, Sylvia Plath, and Derek Walcott.

Download or read book Leveraging AI Technologies for Preventing and Detecting Sudden Cardiac Arrest and Death written by Nijalingappa, Pradeep and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2022-06-24 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Machine learning approaches have great potential in increasing the accuracy of cardiovascular risk prediction and avoiding unnecessary treatment. The application of machine learning techniques may improve heart failure outcomes and management, including cost savings by improving existing diagnostic and treatment support systems. Additionally, artificial intelligence technologies can assist physicians in making better clinical decisions, enabling early detection of subclinical organ dysfunction, and improving the quality and efficiency of healthcare delivery. Further study on these innovative technologies is required in order to appropriately utilize the technology in healthcare. Leveraging AI Technologies for Preventing and Detecting Sudden Cardiac Arrest and Death provides insight into the causes and symptoms of sudden cardiac death and sudden cardiac arrest while evaluating whether artificial intelligence technologies can improve the accuracy of cardiovascular risk prediction. Furthermore, it consolidates the current open issues and future technology-driven solutions for sudden cardiac death and sudden cardiac arrest prevention and detection. Covering a number of crucial topics such as wearable sensors and smart technologies, this reference work is ideal for diagnosticians, IT specialists, data scientists, healthcare workers, researchers, academicians, scholars, practitioners, instructors, and students.
Download or read book Arresting Citizenship written by Amy E. Lerman and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-06-06 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The numbers are staggering: One-third of America’s adult population has passed through the criminal justice system and now has a criminal record. Many more were never convicted, but are nonetheless subject to surveillance by the state. Never before has the American government maintained so vast a network of institutions dedicated solely to the control and confinement of its citizens. A provocative assessment of the contemporary carceral state for American democracy, Arresting Citizenship argues that the broad reach of the criminal justice system has fundamentally recast the relation between citizen and state, resulting in a sizable—and growing—group of second-class citizens. From police stops to court cases and incarceration, at each stage of the criminal justice system individuals belonging to this disempowered group come to experience a state-within-a-state that reflects few of the country’s core democratic values. Through scores of interviews, along with analyses of survey data, Amy E. Lerman and Vesla M. Weaver show how this contact with police, courts, and prisons decreases faith in the capacity of American political institutions to respond to citizens’ concerns and diminishes the sense of full and equal citizenship—even for those who have not been found guilty of any crime. The effects of this increasingly frequent contact with the criminal justice system are wide-ranging—and pernicious—and Lerman and Weaver go on to offer concrete proposals for reforms to reincorporate this large group of citizens as active participants in American civic and political life.

Download or read book The Sound of the City written by Charlie Gillett and published by Souvenir Press. This book was released on 2011-05-01 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charlie Gillett, a British journalist, loves the music, and his passion is evident throughout The Sound of the City. Yet the greatest strength of the book is the way Gillett tracks the resistance of the music industry to early rock-and-roll, which was followed (needless to say) by a frantic rush to engulf and devour it. When first published The Sound of the City was hailed as having 'never been bettered as the definitive history of rock' (Guardian). Now the classic history of rock and roll, has been revised and updated with over 75 historic archive photos. The text has been substantially revised to include newly discovered information and it is now 'the one essential work about the history of rock n' roll' (Jon Landau in Rolling Stone).
