Branzei Sylvia: Would You Rather? / B

Would You Rather?

disgusting dilemmas that’ll make you go, euughhh!

For fans of the Legendary Alston Boys, an uproarious contemporary adventure story with a dash of fantasy about two friends who start a non-singing duo, go viral, and become unlikely international rock stars, bringing mindfulness to the middle school masses.At Visalia Middle School, nothing exciting ever happens. For Jason and Sean, eating candy at recess and dreaming of a future filled with fame and fortune is usually the highlight of their day. But when Sean stumbles across a video of a composer’s deliberately silent performance piece, the boys come up with an idea for a musical act that performs non-songs. And when a video of their first concert goes viral, the duo suddenly finds their dreams of stardom coming true—despite their lack of any musical talent.Soon they’re off on a globe-trotting adventure where, with the help of a cockatiel translator and an eleven-year-old talent agent, they unintentionally popularize the concept of quiet mindfulness and discover that fame can be fickle, but friendship is forever.

Gone Viral

A comprehensive look at causality’s theoretical and practical aspects in economics and finance. In Causal Modeling for Finance and Business, Frank Fabozzi and Sergio Focardi offer a foundation for understanding causal relationships and their importance in complex systems. Topics include the theory of graphs, probabilistic frameworks, structural causal models, algorithms for learning causal structures, and the empirical testing of these models. The book emphasizes applying and deploying causal models in real-world business and investment scenarios. However, it also offers a novel theoretical perspective on causal modeling. Fabozzi and Focardi argue that causation is not a law of nature, but a characteristic of causal systems. If we accept the modern idea of causation as manipulability, causal systems are characterized by causal relationships as well as purely descriptive functional relationships. With these arguments in mind, the book addresses a critical gap in understanding and applying causal reasoning in complex systems. While correlations have often been relied upon in data analysis, decision-making in business and economics demands a deeper understanding of causation and functional relationships to drive actionable outcomes. The book’s objective is to provide a comprehensive resource that bridges foundational theories and practical applications of causal models. By integrating recent advancements in artificial intelligence, probabilistic logic, and graph theory, the authors offer a robust framework for researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers to harness the power of causality in solving intricate problems.

When Coralie arrives in London in 2013, she's ready for a change. Then she meets Adam: clever, witty and very slightly taller than the average British male, with a charming four-year-old daughter in tow. Over the next decade, they weather the glorious chaos of small children, school runs, and the minor warfare of a kitchen renovation - all against the surreal theatre of British politics. But when they resurface, something is missing from the life Coralie and Adam have built.

Applied Microeconometrics

"A much-needed dose of comfort and positivity." —Shanna Tan, translator of Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop Tabby cat Fuuta has passed into the afterlife and will do anything to see his human again . . . if only he can not disrupt the balance of the universe. After a long life with a loving human family, tabby cat Fuuta has passed into the afterlife, but he is not as far from his owner, Michiru, as it seems. Slight openings bridge the divide between the lands of the living and the dead, and they can be traversed. Eager to see Michiru again, Fuuta interviews for a position at Café Pont, a café that exists in the liminal space between the two worlds, known for its unique message delivery service: Customers leave requests with the name of the person they wish to meet, and a messenger cat is assigned to arrange the "meeting." If Fuuta doesn’t maintain plausible deniability, he could cause panic amongst the living, or worse: He could upset the balance of the universe itself. It is a weighty task for an old tabby cat, but Fuuta is up for the challenge. After all, the job offers a special reward: the right to see Michiru. And he’ll do anything to reunite with his family.

Beyond

Why do we love who we love? Why do we stay in unfulfilling relationships, or stray from rewarding ones? Why do some couples crash and burn while others stay madly in love? In The Intimate Animal, Dr Justin Garcia - one of the world's leading experts on the science of love and sex - reveals that the answer to these questions lies in our evolution. We are biologically wired to connect with each other, yet our inner intimate animal is often at odds with the way we live now. Dr Garcia explains the multiplicity of human sexual and romantic behaviour using cutting-edge research from his team of researchers at the world-leading Kinsey Institute, including: - Why we have evolved to live and die for love - Why searching for 'the one' is futile - Why we are wired for 'social monogamy' but not necessarily 'sexual monogamy' - Why some people are more likely to cheat With practical tips on love and lust - the two biological systems often in painful conflict - The Intimate Animal is the essential, research-backed guide for anyone who wants to forge deeper, more intimate connections in these disconnected times. 'Garcia brings us back to the animal inside to remind us that even when connection, love, and desire feel elusive, it's exactly what we're wired for' Esther Perel, bestselling author of Mating in Captivity 'Fascinating and useful' The Telegraph Magazine 'A thoughtful and well-researched treatise' The Sunday Times

An evolutionary exploration of love, sex and relationships. Dr. Justin Garcia is a world-leading expert on the science of love and sex. In his first book, he explores the multiplicity of human sexual and romantic behaviour, the forces behind our intimacy instincts, and why humans across the globe live and die for love. Our competing evolutionary desires for sex and intimacy create highs and lows in our romantic and sexual lives. The Intimate Animal provides practical tips on love and attraction - two biological systems often in painful conflict - and presents compelling case studies to help deepen and strengthen our relationships. Sharing the knowledge that he has acquired working on the frontlines of modern love and sex research, Dr. Garcia helps us to understand the science behind a spectrum of human intimate experiences. From the intimacy crisis, physical affection, redefining gender roles and courtship norms, to understanding why we stay in abusive relationships and stray from fulfilling ones, this book will help you understand how to successfully look for love and cultivate a rewarding relationship in an ever-changing, high-speed digital age. From infatuation to heartbreak, The Intimate Animal offers us the first evolutionary understanding of the entire life course of our intimate relationships - how we date, mate, break and remake our love lives.
