Noise from the North End by Dave Bingham Pdf

It was the 1960's. The British Invasion was under way as The Who, Beatles and Rolling Stones dominated the top of the charts. In Canada, Toronto's trending Yorkville district was attracting Canadian acts to its many coffee houses and nightclubs. In 1965, Canada's Ugly Ducklings burst onto the music scene with their gritty garage-punk style and the rest is music history. Noise from the North End is a wild, energetic, original and enduring story of one rock band's journey through Canada's music scene, from smoky coffee houses to high school dances to bars and nightclubs throughout Canada in the 60s and 70s. It is also a compelling chronicle of a music industry often unwilling to get behind its talented and popular musicians and really promote them; to the extent some moved to the U.S. where their careers finally took off. Noise from the North End contains never before told anecdotes and never before seen photographs that explore a unique era in Canadian music....

Canuck Rock by Ryan Edwardson Pdf

The Guess Who. Gordon Lightfoot. Joni Mitchell. Neil Young. Stompin' Tom Connors. Robert Charlebois. Anne Murray. Crowbar. Chilliwack. Carole Pope. Loverboy. Bryan Adams. The Barenaked Ladies. The Tragically Hip. Céline Dion. Arcade Fire. K-oS. Feist. These musicians are national heroes to generations of Canadians. But what does it mean to be a Canadian musician? And why does nationality even matter? Canuck Rock addresses these questions by delving into the myriad relationships between the people who make music, the industries that produce and sell it, the radio stations and government legislation that determine availability, and the fans who consume it and make it their own. An invaluable resource and an absorbing read, Canuck Rock spans from the emergence of rock and roll in the 1950s through to today's international recording industry. Combining archival material, published accounts, and new interviews, Ryan Edwardson explores how music in Canada became Canadian music.

The Wealthy Physician - Canadian Edition by Chase Chandler,Antoine Rempp,Douglas Guest Pdf

The Canadian Edition of the Wealthy Physician is one of the very few books that describes the canadian application of the infinite banking concept. Because most books on the topic describe the American application of the concept, Canadians risk turning a fantastic strategy into a nightmare if they blindly follow the advice or structure of the concept that is promoted south of the border. This book describes the differences between the american and canadian application, but also offers some real life example of policies designed to maximize the growth of the cash value and its advantages for funding our own purchases, while maintaining the amazing estate transfer capacity of this approach. Doctors are often misguided and end up either losing significant sums of money in various investment or ventures, or don't get the returns they should on their money. Over the last few years, doctors have seen an increase on personal and corporate taxes that threaten their very own retirement. A properly designed, well funded whole life policy, especially when owned by a professional or holding corporation, is the most efficient tool remaining for sheltering, protecting and growing your wealth. This book is an informative and exciting resource for the physician and all other professionals. Finally you have a one stop guide to help make complex financial decisions easier to understand! The objective of the book is nothing more and nothing less than to give the educated medical professional a solid and easy-to-understand track to run on.

10% Happier by Dan Harris Pdf

#1 New York Times Bestseller REVISED WITH NEW MATIERAL Winner of the 2014 Living Now Book Award for Inspirational Memoir "An enormously smart, clear-eyed, brave-hearted, and quite personal look at the benefits of meditation." —Elizabeth Gilbert Nightline anchor Dan Harrisembarks on an unexpected, hilarious, and deeply skeptical odyssey through the strange worlds of spirituality and self-help, and discovers a way to get happier that is truly achievable. After having a nationally televised panic attack, Dan Harris knew he had to make some changes. A lifelong nonbeliever, he found himself on a bizarre adventure involving a disgraced pastor, a mysterious self-help guru, and a gaggle of brain scientists. Eventually, Harris realized that the source of his problems was the very thing he always thought was his greatest asset: the incessant, insatiable voice in his head, which had propelled him through the ranks of a hypercompetitive business, but had also led him to make the profoundly stupid decisions that provoked his on-air freak-out. Finally, Harris stumbled upon an effective way to rein in that voice, something he always assumed to be either impossible or useless: meditation, a tool that research suggests can do everything from lower your blood pressure to essentially rewire your brain. 10% Happier takes readers on a ride from the outer reaches of neuroscience to the inner sanctum of network news to the bizarre fringes of America’s spiritual scene, and leaves them with a takeaway that could actually change their lives.
