Bob Geldof formed Band Aid, orchestrated Live Aid, and is the driving force behind Live 8. He has rallied the forces of rock performers all over the world and inspired millions to raise millions for the starving in Africa. He has met with world leaders and demanded that they change their aid policies. He has travelled in Africa and seen famine first-hand, and he has overseen the disbursement of the millions that Band Aid has raised. In this vividly honest autobiography, written with wit, candour and characteristic energy, Geldof recounts his extraordinary childhood in Dublin and schooldays that were both horrifying and funny. He describes the origins of New Wave music and the beginnings, triumphs, and eventual eclipse of the Boomtown Rats. He writes of his years with Paula Yates, the formation of Band Aid and its achievements and he writes of his hopes for the future. Widely admired, Bob Geldof is nonetheless ferociously independent and remains the most charismatic and controversial public figure in Britain today. '(It) shows that by a combination of charm, loquaciousness and irrevocable moral certainty, a wayward, catholic, hand-reared boy can shift the world on its axis’ Sunday Times

A key mission of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing of the Department of the Treasury is the design and printing of U.S. banknotes. The BEP is responsible for producing easily recognizable currency that is difficult to counterfeit. In recent years, the bureau has recognized the modern information technology could lead to entirely new types of counterfeiting threats, and it has requested a number of studies by the NRC to assess these evolving threats. In this new request, the BEP asked the NRC to identify and evaluate significant emerging counterfeiting threats and to assess technologically feasible counterfeit-deterrent features for potential use in new designs. This first report provides an assessment of emerging threats including a wide range of digital imaging and printing techniques. It also presents an analysis of a systems approach to the counterfeiting threat. The second report will offer an evaluation of new banknote features to address these threats.

The bestselling “quackbuster” and “tireless tub-thumper against pseudoscience” fishes for the facts in a flood of misinformation (Maclean’s). Eat this and live to 100. Don’t, and die. Today, hyperboles dominate the media, which makes parsing science from fiction an arduous task when deciding what to eat, what chemicals to avoid, and what’s best for the environment. In Is That a Fact?, bestselling author Dr. Joe Schwarcz carefully navigates through the storm of misinformation to help us separate fact from folly and shrewdness from foolishness. Are GMOs really harmful? Or could they help developing countries? Which “miracle weight-loss foods” gained popularity through exuberant data dredging? Is BPA dangerous or just a victim of unforgiving media hype? Is organic better? Schwarcz questions the reliability and motives of “experts” in this “easy-to-understand yet critical look at what’s fact and what’s plain nonsense. “Takes its readers through the carnival of pseudoscience, the morass of half-truths and, finally, the relatively safe road of reproducible scientific knowledge. This journey is made all the more enjoyable by Dr. Schwarcz’s surgical use of words and his mastery of public writing . . . [He] can always be counted on to write about the chemistry of the world in a way that is both entertaining and educational.” —Cracked Science “Written with a light touch and refreshing humor, this book provides a solid, authoritative starting point for anyone beginning to look at the world with a skeptical eye and a refresher for those further along that path.” —Library Journal

It’s easy for the mind to accept that an intelligent device is able to link pieces of information faster and with more accuracy than herself. However, she refuses to admit that she can learn nothing about “It”, which is at the same time, the origin and the substance of everything that exists. As a result of this resistance to being defeated she has generated concepts about “It”, calling it God (from a religious perspective) or Universe (from a scientific perspective) with a wide range of variations in between. Due to this fundamental impotence to know something about what contains herself, sooner or later her ideas get caught in contradictions that reflect our mental limitations. This way when she wonders about the origin of God, she tells herself it’s infinite, but answers nothing with this, given that she herself cannot imagine something without and end or a limit, projecting in this way her own configuration. The reader may try to imagine something endless and sooner or later will find a “wall” at the end of that image. Making an effort to represent a limitless expansion, with no beginning and no end, after the first dizziness caused by the mental effort, he will find vague limits but limits at last. The mind carries in its own structure time and space as a reflection of her own conformation. Infinity is not accessed with the mind. This is why (its inherent structure) the mirror doesn’t show what is not in front of it and it is not possible to imagine light without conceiving the existence of darkness. It is possible to transcend time/space but not for the mind. How could a fish from the depths imagine the surface or something different from the ocean in which it is immersed from birth to death? In the same way, when science asks about the beginning, speaks of a moment (the big bang) in which everything starts, even time and space necessary for the universe to be. Nevertheless, the scientist cannot imagine the total nothingness that would have existed before the initial explosion. (This “nothingness” would anyway be “something”, which invalidates the scientific thesis) Despite all the macrocosmic and quantum terminology that is used, it is still hard not to see a creationist formulation similar to that from genesis or from other religious writings. In one case it is said that it was only God, that only He existed and that he made the world; in the other, it is said that there was a spot of infinite density and concentration of energy that exploded producing the universe. The hypothesis is not the problem, but in the fact that it is not acknowledged that we are talking about a belief, situated in the same ontological status as any other.
