Book Description
More important than flagging things “really fake” is to understand why they are dismissed as fake The new truth is the one that circulates: digital truth emerges from lists, databases, archives, and conditions of storage. Multiple truths may be activated through search, link, and retrieve queries. Alexandra Juhasz, Ganaele Langlois, and Nishant Shah respond by taking up story, poetry, and other human logics of care, intelligence, and dignity to explore sociotechnological and politico-aesthetic emergences in a world where information overload has become a new ontology of not-knowing. Their feminist digital methods allow considerations of internet things through alternative networked internet time: slowing down to see, honor, and engage with our past; invoking indeterminacy as a human capacity that lets multiple truths commingle on a page or in a body; and saving the truths of ourselves and our others differently from the corporate internet’s perpetual viral movement. Writing across their own shared truisms, actors, and touchstones, the authors propose creative tactics, theoretical overtures, and experimental escape routes built to a human scale as ways to regain our capacities to know and tell truths about ourselves.

Real Food/Fake Food
Author: Larry Olmsted
Publisher: Algonquin Books
ISBN: 1616207418
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
“Olmsted makes you insanely hungry and steaming mad--a must-read for anyone who cares deeply about the safety of our food and the welfare of our planet.” —Steven Raichlen, author of the Barbecue! Bible series “The world is full of delicious, lovingly crafted foods that embody the terrain, weather, and culture of their origins. Unfortunately, it’s also full of brazen impostors. In this entertaining and important book, Olmsted helps us fall in love with the real stuff and steer clear of the fraudsters.” —Kirk Kardashian, author of Milk Money: Cash, Cows, and the Death of the American Dairy Farm You’ve seen the headlines: Parmesan cheese made from wood pulp. Lobster rolls containing no lobster at all. Extra-virgin olive oil that isn’t. So many fake foods are in our supermarkets, our restaurants, and our kitchen cabinets that it’s hard to know what we’re eating anymore. In Real Food / Fake Food, award-winning journalist Larry Olmsted convinces us why real food matters and empowers consumers to make smarter choices. Olmsted brings readers into the unregulated food industry, revealing the shocking deception that extends from high-end foods like olive oil, wine, and Kobe beef to everyday staples such as coffee, honey, juice, and cheese. It’s a massive bait and switch in which counterfeiting is rampant and in which the consumer ultimately pays the price. But Olmsted does more than show us what foods to avoid. A bona fide gourmand, he travels to the sources of the real stuff to help us recognize what to look for, eat, and savor: genuine Parmigiano-Reggiano from Italy, fresh-caught grouper from Florida, authentic port from Portugal. Real foods that are grown, raised, produced, and prepared with care by masters of their craft. Part cautionary tale, part culinary crusade, Real Food / Fake Food is addictively readable, mouthwateringly enjoyable, and utterly relevant.

Rediscovering the Two Quantum Dimensions, the 5th and the 4th dimension!
Author: J.E. Andersen
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 8743030564
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
Late in 2016, the scientists, with a little help from the big LHC, the particle accelerator down in Cern, finally concluded that there are no physical particles to be found inside this universe!! Meaning only energetic oscillating fields was to be found! Can you even grasp that thought, that everything in this universe, is absolutely anything but being this postulated 3-dimensionally and fully physical universe, that you thought you could understand, and that you have been educated in? Everything you believed this universe to be, does not exist at all!! You don't find anything inside this universe, that is only 3-dimensional and only fully physical! And everything you did not believe in, is the universe we actually live inside, with only energetic oscillating fields! We live inside a paranormal universe with 5 very active quantum physical dimensions! It is actually these two quantum physical dimensions, the 5th and the 4th, that really runs the show! We can only see, discover and detect this universe inside the 3rd dimension, and that dimension is "the quantum physical screen" of the universe! This is where the Higg's field is operating with the funny universal stuff, a stuff that can be there, disappear and reappear again! That leads us into the stealth technology and the physics behind the famous stealth plane, the new 5-dimensional quantum physics! The only kind of believes, and the only kind of education today, lies inside this 3-dimensional and fully physical standardized big bang model and physics, and all of that is a big lie! That was the final conclusion from the big LHC down in Cern! This very famous and shocking discovery actually proved my new 5-dimensional model, by proving the energetic oscillating quantum physical atom, that lies in a 5-dimensional spacetime. My new 5-dimensional quantum physical model and totally new physics was theoretically fully proven already in 2012! Then the big process writing down all of this new philosophy and theory! Out of that, came the new 5-dimensional quantum physical physics! Very different on any level! This new model matches Einstein's extended relativity theory and can be understood as a Pier Review with Einstein's 5-dimensional model. It explains the gravity, the differentiated expansion, explains the very big inflation, and many more hidden secrets of the universe! Read about the Author, and the book, and understand how this universe was created and how it functions!
