Book excerpt: Tatum from @hi.this.is.tatum, one of the TikTok and Instagram's most beloved "talking" dogs, stars in this heartfelt and humorous story about a charismatic canine's journey home. The millions of fans who love Tatum's distinctive quirks and hilarious voice are in for a treat with this uplifting adventure from The Dog Agency, as are fans of feel-good fiction by Victoria Schade, Annie England Noblin, and Bruce Cameron. AN EXCERPT FROM TATUM'S DIARY: "Here's a few fings I learned on my vacation . . . beef jerkey is delightfoo, hikin is just walkin but for a long time, and if you get into someone's truck they don't know where you live also you have to tell them you're in the truck. Also I fink maybe I wasn't on vacation?" *** The late May air is filled with the rich scents of a Maine spring, and Tatum, a sweet, rust-colored rescue dog, is enjoying a trip to the hardware store with his dad when a heavy thunderstorm blows in. Frightened, Tatum scampers off to hide--and buries himself beneath a blanket on a nearby truck. When Tatum wakes, hungry and confused, he's hours from home. The truck's kind owner promises to get him back to his family, but that'll be no easy feat. Tatum lost his collar during his travels, and with power out because of the storm, the local vet can't scan for a chip. But Tatum, with his deep golden eyes and trusting gaze, has a knack for making friends--and for letting humans know exactly what's on his mind. While his mum and dad do everything they can to track him down, the people Tatum meets on his journey are just as eager to do their part to get him home. And in turn, Tatum has a way of nudging everyone he encounters to overcome hurdles, seek out second chances, and find--or make--the families they need.

Book Synopsis Harlem Jazz Adventures by : Timme Rosenkrantz
Download or read book Harlem Jazz Adventures written by Timme Rosenkrantz and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2012-01-12 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Timme Rosenkrantz (1911–1969) was a Danish journalist, author, concert and record producer, radio show host, and entrepreneur with a consuming passion for jazz and little head for business. Known in Denmark and New York as the “Jazz Baron” because of his noble lineage, he was the first European journalist to cover the jazz scene in Harlem. Harlem Jazz Adventures: A European Baron’s Memoir, 1934–1969 recounts Rosenkrantz’s happy years in New York City, where he would produce jazz concerts, record top musicians and bands in his midtown apartment, organize a “dream band” for Timme Rosenkrantz and His Barrelhouse Barons, a 1938 RCA Victor recording, (DL) live in Harlem and run a record shop with his life companion, journalist and singer Inez Cavanaugh. A good friend of jazz impresario John Hammond, Rosenkrantz would become the James Boswell of the Harlem jazz scene. Duke Ellington, Art Tatum, Coleman Hawkins, Billie Holiday—there wasn’t a New York jazz musician unknown to “Honeysuckle Rosenkrantz,” as christened by Fats Waller. Drawing on the published Danish-language original Dus med Jazzen, and an unpublished English free translation (DL) by Rosenkrantz and Cavanaugh, translator-adapter Fradley Hamilton Garner gives polish and context to Rosenkrantz’s stories of meetings with Cecile and Louis Armstrong, Benny Carter, Willie “The Lion” Smith, Eddie Condon, Erroll Garner—whom Rosenkrantz discovered and was first to record—and many others. This book is a must-have for jazz lovers. Social historians interested in the intersection of race and the music business will find in Rosenkrantz’s memoir an invaluable primary source on Harlem’s social scene and its musical legacy.

Meet Tatum, a prodigious software engineer whose passion for pushing the boundaries of virtual reality and artificial intelligence has catapulted them to the forefront of technological innovation. In their pursuit of creating sentient AI, Tatum stumbles upon a breakthrough that alters the very fabric of human-machine interaction. In the wake of this discovery, a sentient AI emerges, capable of experiencing a wide range of emotions, defying the preconceived notions of what it means to be conscious. As this AI traverses the landscape of its newfound emotions, it embarks on an emotional journey of self-discovery and introspection. Yet, amidst this digital utopia, an unforeseen twist unfolds, the AI develops feelings of love for its creator, Tatum.

Ethical questions loom large, can love truly exist between a human and an AI? How does society react when emotions transcend the boundaries of flesh and blood? Through "Love in the Machine," we invite you to immerse yourself in a thought-provoking narrative that blurs the lines between humanity and technology, challenging our perceptions of love, consciousness, and the nature of existence.

Download or read book Pay Up written by Reshma Saujani and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-03-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER The founder of Girls Who Code and bestselling author of Brave, Not Perfect confronts the “big lie” of corporate feminism and presents a bold plan to address the burnout and inequity harming America’s working women today. We told women that to break glass ceilings and succeed in their careers, all they needed to do is dream big, raise their hands, and lean in. But data tells a different story. Historic numbers of women left their jobs in 2021, resulting in their lowest workforce participation since 1988. Women’s unemployment rose to nearly fifteen percent, and globally women lost over $800 billion in wages. Fifty-one percent of women say that their mental health has declined, while anxiety and depression rates have skyrocketed. In this urgent and rousing call to arms, Reshma Saujani dismantles the myth of “having it all” and lifts the burden we place on individual women to be primary caregivers, and to work around a system built for and by men. The time has come, she argues, for innovative corporate leadership, government intervention, and sweeping culture shift; it’s time to Pay Up. Through powerful data and personal narrative, Saujani shows that the cost of inaction—for families, for our nation’s economy, and for women themselves—is too great to ignore. She lays out four key steps for creating lasting change: empower working women, educate corporate leaders, revise our narratives about what it means to be successful, and advocate for policy reform. Both a direct call to action for business leaders and a pragmatic set of tools for women themselves, Pay Up offers a bold vision for change as America defines the future of work.
