Abstinence Blues
MEATRAFFLE's latest album, "Abstinence Blues," is a mind-bending journey through the dark alleyways of rock 'n' roll. The South London outfit has once again delivered a chaotic, anarchic masterpiece that defies categorization. From the psychedelic swirls of "The Day the Earth Stood Still" to the raw, primal energy of "Bloody Lovely," MEATRAFFLE's sound is as unpredictable as ever. Lead vocalist Zsa Zsa Sapien's almost hypnotic vocals draw you in, while the band's frenetic rhythms keep you on the edge of your seat. The album is a delightful cacophony of influences, from punk and post-punk to avant-garde and experimental. It's clear that MEATRAFFLE are unafraid to push boundaries and challenge conventions. Tracks like "Gutter Feeling" and "Sewer Built" showcase the band's knack for creating a sense of unease, while "Rat Star" and "Dreamin'" offer moments of surprising beauty. Throughout "Abstinence Blues," MEATRAFFLE maintain a sense of urgency and irreverence that sets them apart from their peers. In a music landscape that often feels stale and repetitive, MEATRAFFLE are a breath of fresh air. "Abstinence Blues" is a reminder that rock 'n' roll can still be weird, wild, and wonderfully innovative. Don't sleep on this one, folks. MEATRAFFLE are here to shake things up, and we are all the better for it.

Alcohol, Binge Sobriety and Exemplary Abstinence
Where did Temporary Sobriety Initiatives (TSIs) such as Dry January, FebFast and Ocsober, come from? And what is their role, if any, in prompting people to revisit their relationship with alcohol? These organized campaigns have flourished throughout the English-speaking world in the past decade.Collectively, they involve thousands of participants and raise substantial sums of money for medical research, as well as drug and alcohol related charities.Alcohol, Binge Sobriety and Exemplary Abstinence considers these campaigns as part of a lifestyle movement that transcends single events and even singular national contexts.It uses case studies from Australia, the USA and the UK to examine both the short history of TSIs as a response to problematic localized drinking cultures – including binge drinking – and their relationship to a much longer and transnational history of temperance activism. In taking TSIs as a case study of both embodied philanthropy and participatory health promotion, this book considers how TSIs are structured, promoted and experienced as an embodied event to create imitable, and sometimes contradictory, examples to create a public pedagogy of ‘responsible drinking’.

Makerspaces, Innovation and Science Education : How, Why, and What For?
This book provides an overview to a range of theories in science and technology that inform the different ways in which makerspaces can be educative.Makerspaces are an indispensable site for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) instruction and pose novel risks and opportunities for STEM instruction.Educators are likely to reach towards activities that have a high degree of engagement, but this might result in observations like 'it looks like fun, but what are they learning?'. Beginning from the question of how we know what we know in science, the author asserts that understanding scientific knowledge requires us to know more than the abstract concepts typically presented in schools.The social and material aspects of knowledge are also important—these take the form of questions such as: What is the interplay between knowledge and power?How do we understand that we can have a ‘feel’ for materials and artefacts that we cannot completely describe in words?How do we know what ideas ought to be made real though technology and engineering?Significantly, this book also discusses the ethical dimensions of STEM education, in thinking about the kinds of STEM education that could be useful for open futures. This book will be useful to graduate students and educators seeking an expansive view of STEM education.More generally, these ideas outline a possible new strategy for a vision of school that is not merely training or preparing students for work.Education needs to also prepare students for sociopolitical participation, and with STEM being central to our contemporary lives, this book provides insights for how this can happen in makerspaces.

Gender Differences in Technology and Innovation Management : Insights from Experimental Research
Even though the number of working women has steadily increased over the last few years, women are still significantly under-represented in STEM activities (i.e. mathematics, informatics, science and technology). In order to eliminate this under-representation, numerous education policies and corporate initiatives, particularly in the recent past, have been aimed at increasing women's enthusiasm for STEM activities and professions.According to the latest surveys, however, it is clear that these efforts have not yet led to the desired success.Compared to their male counterparts, women continue to do fewer STEM activities. One possible reason for this is that relatively little is yet known about the concrete impact of the above education policies on working with innovation and technology: What are the gender differences between women and men?Is it enough to recognize these differences, or should these differences ideally not only be recognized, but also treated appropriately or even encouraged? This anthology deals with current topics in technology and innovation management against the background of these and other gender-relevant aspects.Empirical analyses and experiments in collaboration with companies from various sectors provide a sound scientific basis on which new results and findings are presented: How do women and men deal with creativity and competition?How are technologies applied and how can differences in access to technology be deduced? Answers to these and other questions help decision-makers in politics and business to proactively use the differences between women and men to motivate women to work in the STEM field and to strengthen them by acknowledging existing differences.

Al-Ghazali on Poverty and Abstinence : Book XXXIV of the Revival of the Religious Sciences
Al-Ghazali on Poverty and Abstinence is the thirty-fourth chapter of the Revival of the Religious Sciences.It falls in the section dealing with the virtues. Ghazali traces poverty and abstinence back to the Prophet Muhammad who exhorted the faithful to love the poor and described this love as a key to heaven.But behind the Prophet's love of the poor lay his legendary humility, and the life of poverty on which Ghazali expatiates in this treatise refers to what every devoted follower of the Prophet is meant to adopt, not simply an accidental state of destitution that might befall anyone.What is true piety? What spiritual infirmities impede the path of poverty?These are the questions that preoccupy Ghazali in the Book on Poverty and Abstinence.His aim in this chapter is to teach the ordinary believer about inner purification through inner poverty and abstinence.The result is a rich tapestry of practises, thoughts, concepts and anecdotes drawn from some of the most fascinating figures in the tradition of practical ethics in Islam, a tradition that harks back to the enduring examples of pre-Islamic prophets like Jesus, Moses and Joseph.
