This is the combined life story of Mick Foster and Tony Allen, revealing how these most unlikely of stars toured the world and entered the record books. A charming narrative told with heaps of Celtic charm, it is filled with nostalgic reminiscences about growing up in rural Ireland in the 1950s and 60s, and spans the breadth of their long career, including appearing on Top of the Pops alongside Bob Geldof and being feted by Terry Wogan, and the extraordinary moment when they found themselves at the very top of the charts, beating Take That to the number-one slot.

Tony Allen is the autobiography of legendary Nigerian drummer Tony Allen, the rhythmic engine of Fela Kuti's Afrobeat. Conversational, inviting, and packed with telling anecdotes, Allen's memoir is based on hundreds of hours of interviews with the musician and scholar Michael E. Veal. It spans Allen's early years and career playing highlife music in Lagos; his fifteen years with Fela, from 1964 until 1979; his struggles to form his own bands in Nigeria; and his emigration to France. Allen embraced the drum set, rather than African handheld drums, early in his career, when drum kits were relatively rare in Africa. His story conveys a love of his craft along with the specifics of his practice. It also provides invaluable firsthand accounts of the explosive creativity in postcolonial African music, and the personal and artistic dynamics in Fela's Koola Lobitos and Africa 70, two of the greatest bands to ever play African music.

Age Assurance in Practice: Applying It in the Real World is a clear, practical guide to understanding how age assurance systems actually work and why they so often behave differently in practice than in theory.As governments and regulators increasingly require organisations to restrict access to age-sensitive goods, content, services and spaces, age assurance has become a critical capability across digital and physical environments. Yet it remains widely misunderstood. It is often treated as a simple technical check or compliance requirement, when in reality it is a complex system shaped by trade-offs, context and human behaviour.This book bridges the gap between formal standards and real-world implementation. Drawing on the ISO/IEC 27566 family of standards as a conceptual foundation, it explains how age assurance operates as a system-level activity involving policy goals, risk management, technology, user behaviour and governance. It does not prescribe specific solutions or technologies. Instead, it equips readers with the understanding needed to make informed, defensible decisions.Through clear explanation and practical insight, the book explores how age assurance systems are designed, deployed and evaluated in practice. It highlights common pitfalls, such as over-reliance on identity, unintended privacy harms, and failures of user acceptability and explains why these issues arise. It also examines how systems evolve over time, how trade-offs are made, and how organisations can build trust through transparency, accountability and evidence.Written for policymakers, regulators, engineers, architects, procurement professionals, auditors and trust-and-safety practitioners, this book assumes no prior expertise. It is designed for anyone who needs to engage with age assurance as part of a broader role and must quickly develop sound judgment in a complex and evolving field.Rather than offering simple answers, Age Assurance in Practice provides a framework for thinking, one that remains useful as technologies, regulations and expectations continue to change. Its goal is to help readers navigate complexity with confidence, avoid common mistakes and make better decisions about systems that increasingly shape access, safety and trust in modern services.

Swallowing sound recognition is an important task in bioengineering that could be employed in systems for automated swallowing assessment and diagnosis of abnormally high rate of swallowing (aerophagia) [1], which is the primary mode of ingesting excessive amounts of air, and swallowing dysfunction (dysphagia) [2]-[5], that may lead to aspiration, choking, and even death. Dysphagia represents a major problem in rehabilitation of stroke and head injury patients. In current clinical practice videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS) is the gold standard for diagnosis of swallowing disorders. However, VFSS is a ti- consuming procedure performed only in a clinical setting. VFSS also results in some radiation exposure. Therefore, various non-invasive methods are proposed for swallowing assessment based on evaluation of swallowing signals, recorded by microphones and/or accelerometers and analyzed by digital signal processing techniques [2]-[5]. Swallowing sounds are caused by a bolus passing through pharynx. It is possible to use swallowing sounds to determine pharyngeal phase of the swallow and characteristics of the bolus [2].

Accepted wisdom tells us either that business should come before pleasure, or that the two should never be mixed. Business, it seems, was never intended to be pleasurable. During an economic crisis, in particular, business is easy to portray as a cold, unforgiving environment. But business isn't like this. Business is people. People who come together to achieve more than is possible individually. Achievement is easily measured through profit, but value is a much bigger concept. A bank in India has been awarded a Nobel Peace Prize. A man in Denmark has turned his love and compassion for his deaf wife into a business that helps millions, as well as makes millions. Business provides countless examples of companies that have achieved greatness; companies for whom profit is necessary but not sufficient condition for success. These stories and the business lessons (often unmeasurable) they provide are brilliantly captured in this highly original book.
