Book excerpt: In Beacon Hill, one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Boston, a wealthy widow dies in her sleep, while in Cambridge, where academia meets high tech, a dog is slaughtered. One death has seemingly no bearing on the other until the death in a remote Chinese village is announced. Answering the call from a friend, amateur detectives Ann Lee and Fang Chen rush to the ancient village, where the branches of a family tree stretch from China to New Zealand, Australia, and the US, and where—to Ann’s great chagrin—Fang Chen becomes obsessed with a girl being pursued by a ruthless killer who will stop at nothing to sacrifice her in the name of love. Will Fang Chen’s untimely passion get in the way of his investigation and destroy his partnership with Ann? Can the amateur sleuths outsmart the cunning and crafty killer?
Download or read book A Record of the Assembled Immortals and Gathered Perfected of the Western Hills written by Richard Bertschinger and published by Singing Dragon. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this Tang Classic text from the 9th Century, Daoist practitioner Shi Jianwu describes how through adapting our own breathing to the breath of the universe and daily meditation, one can develop an astral body and 'transcend earthly matters to walk in the divine'. Richard Bertschinger offers the first annotated English language translation of this text with practical guidance for Qigong, meditative practice and personal development. With elements of Daoist tradition and drawing on Mayahana Buddhist influences, this ancient guide aims to bring to the fore perceptions and focus on a natural form of breathing for pure meditation. Much of this Chinese practice has been misunderstood and lost over the years, until now. Richard's thoughtful translation and additional comments serve to distribute Shi Jianwu's original message with open interpretations for the individual reader.

Download or read book Nobody s Fool written by Daniel Simons and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2023-07-11 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From two New York Times-bestselling psychologists, “an engaging master class in how to foil purveyors of false promises” (Philip E. Tetlock, author of Superforecasting) From phishing scams to Ponzi schemes, fraudulent science to fake art, chess cheaters to crypto hucksters, and marketers to magicians, our world brims with deception. In Nobody’s Fool, psychologists Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris show us how to avoid being taken in. They describe the key habits of thinking and reasoning that serve us well most of the time but make us vulnerable—like our tendency to accept what we see, stick to our commitments, and overvalue precision and consistency. Each chapter illustrates their new take on the science of deception, describing scams you’ve never heard of and shedding new light on some you have. Simons and Chabris provide memorable maxims and practical tools you can use to spot deception before it’s too late. Informative, illuminating, and entertaining, Nobody’s Fool will protect us from charlatans in all their forms—and delight us along the way.
Download or read book Why Look at Plants written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-11-05 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2019 Outstanding Academic Titles award in Choice, a publishing unit of the Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL) Why Look at Plants? proposes a thought-provoking and fascinating look into the emerging cultural politics of plant-presence in contemporary art. Through the original contributions of artists, scholars, and curators who have creatively engaged with the ultimate otherness of plants in their work, this volume maps and problematizes new intra-active, agential interconnectedness involving human-non-human biosystems central to artistic and philosophical discourses of the Anthropocene. Plant’s fixity, perceived passivity, and resilient silence have relegated the vegetal world to the cultural background of human civilization. However, the recent emergence of plants in the gallery space constitutes a wake-up-call to reappraise this relationship at a time of deep ecological and ontological crisis. Why Look at Plants? challenges readers’ pre-established notions through a diverse gathering of insights, stories, experiences, perspectives, and arguments encompassing multiple disciplines, media, and methodologies.

Download or read book The King of Good Times written by Harish Maiya and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-05-16 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Vijay Mallya is not your typical everyday CEO. He has made it to the Forbes billionaires' list many number of times but he doesn't care if he is on the list or not because he doesn't want to be categorized as a ruthless moneymaker. He not only lives like The King of Good Times but he is working overtime to persuade others to live the high life too. Once upon a time, his critics called him the playboy of the east for his glamorous lifestyle but slowly and steadily Dr. Mallya has earned the respect of his detractors. After the launch of Kingfisher Airlines in 2005, he was chosen as the Indian Businessman of the year. The Indian government honored him with the Outstanding Business Leader Award and ETNow selected Dr. Mallya as one of the three big movers and shakers of the first decade of 21st century corporate India. After his father's untimely death, Dr. Mallya became the CEO of a hundred million dollar UB Group and grew it into a multi-billion dollar global empire. He is a genius of a businessman who is the ultimate brand ambassador of his company UB Group. He sets himself high goals and works round the clock to achieve them. His out-of-the-box thinking and business strategies have revolutionized the way brand equity could be grown by businesses in the country. He is a supreme human being and so his business rivals and political rivals are usually surprised by Dr. Mallya's magnanimity. As a politician, Dr. Mallya has been trying really hard to change the Indian political landscape. He is a brand marketing genius but for him, superior customer service always comes first. He goes to extreme lengths to make sure customers are satisfied by his products and services. Dr. Mallya is also a sports fanatic. He owns the Force India Formula One team and has been an instrumental figure in bringing the Formula One Grand Prix championship race to India. He also owns the Indian Premier League cricket team called the Royal Challengers and is very much involved in making a successful championship run for the team. He is also the man who has changed horse racing in India from a gambling den to a classy entertainment venue. For all the critics who downplayed Dr. Mallya's success and bashed his playboy image, it is not surprising that he is having the last laugh. Dr. Mallya and his future generations are set to carry on the Mallya legacy successfully. Long live the King of Good Times.
Download or read book Chinese Election Interference in Taiwan written by Edward J. Barss and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-02-06 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book documents the history of China’s attempts to undermine Taiwan’s elections, offering additional insights into China’s methods of influence in Hong Kong, the United States and Canada. Drawing from Chinese language primary sources and historical accounts, Taiwan is presented as a growing democracy that has had to endure constant threats to its way of democratic life from the People’s Republic of China (China). Examining China’s election interference operations and several previously undocumented instances of Chinese interference, chapters in this book not only cover traditional methods of influence such as diplomacy, economic policy, and military intimidation, but also an array of novel practices involving organized crime, religion, and the media. Conceptual and practical ideas have been developed for studying and combatting election interference, which will particularly appeal to policy makers and security professionals seeking to better identify instances of ongoing election interference and the motivations driving this phenomenon. Chinese Election Interference in Taiwan’s National Elections will prove an innovative resource to students and scholars of international relations and Chinese studies, including history and politics.
Download or read book Information including Medicines Physics and Mechanism of Action With Emphasis on Viremedy A Synopsis Version Dec 2022 written by Kamyar Esmaeili, M.D. and published by Independently Published [Kindle Direct Publishing Platform]. This book was released on 2022-12-25 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ["Version: Dec 2022"] ► OVERVIEW: ♦ An "information-including medicine" is a material that the rendition of its respective physical information via a certain part of the living system termed "parallel body" leads to its corresponding biotic qualities in the living being. Viremedy, homeopathic medicines, and the so-called intentional healing medicines are among such medicines. ♦ Viremedy, as a basic remedy, could raise the vitality of the living creature within the framework of its nature. A rise in vitality means "a general increase in the fulfillment degree of biotic capabilities, such as resistance (resilience) to exogenous and endogenous stresses, in the broad sense". This basic remedy improves the natural regulatory and healing operations. ♦ In this text, allowing for the related facts and experiments, "the Physical Essence" and "the Mechanisms of the Actions" of information-including medicines have been generally explicated by putting forward a working theory. Additionally, "Viremedy", "its Origin", and some relevant topics have been presented. These topics are also included: "Some Controlled Experiments Conducted About any Effects of Viremedy on Vitality"; "Some Points About the Holistic Healing Process Actuated by Viremedy Use"; "Some Application Methods of Viremedy"; "The Possible Use of Other Treatments Together With Viremedy". (What is entitled the "Improved Homeopathy" has been briefly introduced in this synopsis as well.) ♦♦ As a rule, facts, rather than words, are the final judge. /●●●/ ► Information-including medicines are broadly used in practice in some therapeutic modalities like homeopathy, etc. ♦ There are controversial discussions about such medicines and the related topics. For instance, in view of the high dilution of homeopathic medicines, sometimes beyond Avogadro’s Limit, some scholars have considered them the inert substances called Placebo, having no specific virtue! Oppositely, some others have counted homeopathy as a credible therapeutic modality. ♦ Here, regarding an interdisciplinary approach, "the Physical Essence" and "the Mechanisms of the Actions" of information-including medicines have been generally clarified by putting forward a comprehensive theory. In light of this theory, the related facts can be explained and the results of some related experiences can be methodically predicted. Allowing for this theory, we can also find suitable ways for "the reproduction and the reinforcement of the special information-including remedy named Viremedy", "keeping this remedy in appropriate conditions", "the various methods of Viremedy application", and "the apposite application of other treatments, like homeopathic treatments, together with this remedy". ♦ Viremedy is Not a Monopolistic Production or Finding of any Person or Group. ♦♦ Most of all, facts, like the results of the appropriate controlled experiences suitably designed and performed to correctly evaluate the degree of vitality, are the final judge. /●●●/ ► SOME RELATED DOMAINS: Health and Medical Sciences, Integrative Medicine, Holistic Medicine, Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Parallel Body Medicine, Information Medicine, So-called Energy Medicine, Homeopathy, Improved Homeopathy, Healing, Natural Medicine (Naturopathic Med.), Vitherapy, Holism, Information-including Medicines, Modern Physics, Evidence-based Medicine /●●●/ NOTIFICATION: ►► This book in paperback and Kindle formats can be bought from "AMAZON". ♦♦ All sales revenue of the book, the author’s share, will be spent on the activities involving Viremedy and the related matters like accomplishing the studies, improving Viremedy use, etc. - Citation: Esmaeili, Kamyar: «Information-including Medicines; Physics and Mechanism of Action (With Emphasis on "Viremedy") A Synopsis [Subtitle: Viremedy, Homeopathic Medicines, and the So-called Intentional Healing Medicines]».
