"And an enormous shout out to Nicole Hendricks and the buffalo Sabres public relations people, right? Because you alerted me last night saying, hey, I mean, I'm watching it unfold, of course. And we can see what tage Thompson is doing in the salt of the Columbus blue jackets, but you're like, hey, we should reach out and see if he'll come on the podcast. And automatically, I'm like, well, yeah, I guess, you know, maybe next week, and then I'm like, yeah. No, I think grey means let's try and get him on tomorrow, being as we're recording. So flip out the text to Nicole. Any chance of grabbing page for ten minutes or so, yeah, let me get back to you. Ten minutes later, you know, how's ten 30 tomorrow morning? Is that work for you? You know, look, I mean, there's so many great PR departments in the National Hockey League. We're fortunate, right? But you would know this as a former player. You know, these guys are pulled in so many different directions. More now than ever, more now. More now than ever. And is a young father, probably the last thing he wants or needs to do. It's an author interview, but again, tage Thompson joining us. I'm going to say this for our podcast. I can guarantee you we will have a double guest every time somebody scores 5 goals in an NHL game. Because one time, that's it. Because so as I was at Riley soccer game and so it gets to the half, it's freezing cold. We're in like full winter gear. They're running around out there, you know, they're 16. So they're doing their thing. And I look and I'm like, 6 nothing in the first period. Like, what exactly is happening there? And then I was like, oh, Thompson, Thompson, Thompson, like amazing, amazing night. And really pumped that he that he agreed to come on. Better than you expected. Well, we'll ask known us about this as well. But I mean, he was just as big tall gangly sort of giraffe there when he landed from the St. Louis blues. I'm not going to lie. I didn't see this. You know, what he did last year, what did he score 38 goals last year? So it's not a fluke what he's doing this year by any stretch, but holy smokes. I mean, this kid seems to have it all. You know what? The guy like him would be really hard and really interesting to project, which of course the blues were doing when they made that trade for Ryan O'Reilly. Buffalo wanted futures and Kate Thompson was a big part of it. But the reason it's interesting to me is at his size, 6 foot 6 or 7, he's always going to be a late bloomer. He's if he's going to get it, he's going to be a late bloomer because your athleticism and your coordination and your strength has to catch up to that enormous frame. And clearly it took him a little bit of time. I said this before and I love just love comparisons to players that I played against because to me it helps put them in a context that I can understand. He's the closest to Mario Lemieux that I've seen. At that size, with those hands with, did you see his one time or last night was like a freaking cannonball? But he's the crazy at that size that I've seen. Like I would never say 5 foot 8 guy reminds me of Mario Lemieux. You got to be 6 foot 6. And there's not many of those. Thompson is, oh man, he is just any so fun to watch. He's got the dangle itis, man. He's got the falling all over the place. I just love it. Hi, it's ray Ferraro. Here to let small business owners and entrepreneurs know about something pretty cool. My friends at north beach agency have teamed up with their digital partners, craft grove, to offer a free website and social audit to small businesses. So you can finally find out just how your website stacks up against your competitors. And yeah, you heard that right. They're offering this for free. So go to craft growth dot net to get started on your free website and social audit today. That's craft growth, .NET. Headlines once again this season represented by our friends at Boston pizza. Again, tage Thompson of the buffalo Sabres fresh off a 5 goal performance against the blue jackets, one of our guests, Dave known as former general manager also stopping by. So let's quickly peruse the headlines and it felt like we should start with Colorado. They're treading water right now. And it's mostly because of the injury bug. And Nate McKinnon is now sidelined for the better part of the month. That's the projection of the Colorado avalanche. So do they continue to try and tread that water or does Chris McFarland look for some help? It's easy to say yes, look for some help. But then these players come back and you've got a salary cap that you've got to wrestle with. So it's not that easy. I don't know how they can look for help. It's one thing to put a guy on LTI, the long-term injury, but as you know, as we've seen and you mentioned, is that so when that player say you won't get a $5 million player. Well, when player X comes back, you've got to do something with that $5 million. And where is that going to go? Nobody has room to take any money on. Now, the health thing is really quite staggering. 5 of their top 6 is the only one that standing upright is Michael rant and everybody else is hurt. But it seems like they're Rodriguez, Evan Rodriguez is a maybe ten days or two weeks away to choose can start to skate like an ins close. So if they can just kind of hold their head here for the next week or so, but it's not just for two weeks, two weeks. It's probably another 6 games or so. But it's not just there. You know, they lose Josh Manson, bull byrons, not playing again. Like, it is team wide. And it is just shredded. I mean, all they can do is just they could take some heart, I think, that georgiev has been really good for them. And so, you know, as they look further down the road, like they're not dropping out of a playoff spot, they're 1310 and one, so they're, you know, it's not like they're 6 games under 500 and they've got to try and miraculously claw their way back. Okay, next topic here, you know, we'll talk to Dave known us about this. And I suspect he'll shoot it down as others have. But the solid cap has killed creativity. For the most part, right? You think of management creativity and you think of mccree and the Vegas golden knights and how they always seem to step in front of it in their quest to win that elusive Stanley Cup. So an insider trading, I throw out the idea that why wouldn't Edmonton of course Edmonton's interested in Eric Carlson. Any team with a need for an offensive defenseman has interest in Eric Carlson. I'm not naive enough to think that it's near impossible to make it work because of the salary cap. But, you know, when you've got McDavid and dry Seidel and some of the other elements that they have, it's not the window is closing, but contractually kind of is, right? So I think they look at the next three years as being crucial in that quest to win a Stanley Cup. So this isn't Kenny Holland's first rodeo here, but would you be more willing to explore every wild scenario Carlson included or would you just face reality and you know what? Maybe it's edmondson. Maybe it's another more defense of affordable guy that is going to plug a hole for me and let's see how it goes. If I'm Kenny hall and I'm sitting in that chair and I'm saying to my assistant managers and my pro scouts, you know, the head of my pro scouting department. Bring me any scenario you think can improve this team. And then we'll look at if it's at all possible, like any scenario you can come up with. Let's just, let's bring it on. Let's take a look at it. Let's pull it apart and say, yes, it can work or yes, we can pursue it or we can't even look at it. You got to Carlson's 11 and a half million bucks, right? So there's going to have to be whoever, if there is a trade for Eric Carlson, this year, there's going to be a third team in it. Or San Jose retains a pile, right? But 30 40%. I think it's both. I could be both. And so because then you can the acquiring team can actually have a chance at affording the contract. And so that makes the difficulty of it. It goes tenfold. I mean, you got to think somehow Chicago or Arizona is going to be involved in these brokering deals over the next year or so. But I think that one's just, I just don't see how it fits in. You can only put so much sand in a 5 pound glass and they're at 5 pounds. Well, I mean, the media was quick to shoot it down. It's always amazing to me how these ideas just get blasted. I mean, it's an idea. I mean, that's what hockey operations departments to your point do. They sit down and go, okay, if top of class is Eric Carlson, somebody try and get inventive and try and figure out how we could possibly be. Because Drake, so you get the analytics department in to start looking. The pearl scouts because you got to make a trade. The amateurs, how many draft picks do we have? The assistant managers who have started cook to coordinate all this information and then you throw it all on the table and you go this stuff doesn't work, that stuff maybe can work. Let's look at that. Yeah, I'm with you. All right, we don't talk about the Columbus blue jackets very often. We just don't. And there's reason to and normally you would think it would be a positive reason because, you know, they signed Johnny goudreau, they've got Patrick Klein, who's back on the ice. He's back healthy again. And he's always fun to watch when he's scoring goals and the way he plays. But man was he pissed off after that buffalo loss. And understandably so they didn't show up. They didn't play at all in that game. It really looks to me, smells to me like Columbus is looking at the draft. They're looking at art in 2023 and it kind of reminds me and this is going back 2003 ray. And Jamie Rutherford at the time was with the Carolina hurricanes. And I know this because Paul Maurice told me the story. Rutherford went to Paul, who's coaching the hurricanes around Christmas and said, hey, we had an okay start. We're back to where I think we're going to be, which isn't very good just to be a 100% transparent. You're not getting any help. I'm not helping you. Like sorry, you know, this is what you're going to deal with because they looked at the Eric stall. So they draft Eric stall second overall in 2003. They were looking that far ahead at the June. You know what I'm laughing at the moment. I'm laughing at that for two reasons. One, of course, the blunt list, the bluntness of Jim Rutherford at that point. And then Paul Maurice, that's 20 years ago. I know he started when he was 28, but he was still a pretty good guy. He's still young. By the way, you're not getting anything. Good luck. Good luck. I will tell you though that you can have that view, but if that's indeed where your arm will take a line and in the blue jackets get two drinks, what's happening between now and then is you're looking at your team and going who quit. Who's not interested? Because I don't want them here. You can do good work for your future while your team is looking at the draft. Because it's going to be addition by subtraction in some cases. Because you can not go out and give up 6 goals in the first period in your home rank. And not have any pushback, any fight. And look, hey, Zach warenski is a fabulous player. And he's not there. He's gone for the year. They lost Nick blankenship the same. I think the same day. They defense just got carved and caved in, but you can not allow that. So between now and then, if they're looking at the draft, it's about who's going to be here at the draft, or are those guys going to go somewhere else? Those are your headlines? Thanks again to Boston pizza. Our interviews and rain rigs this year brought to you by Canadian club whisky who are asking, are you over beer?

"So there are lots of other universes. And then to add a final one, it's the string theory landscape, so in this string theory landscape, there are different combinations of the fundamental constants of nature. So for each of them, you can have a different universe. And so what happens in those universes, take, for example, the many worlds. So each time a quantum measurement happens, or you make a quantum measurement, the quantum measurements don't actually need an apparatus, should have said this. If the particle hits the wall, this will also collapse the wave functional split the universe, depending on which way you look at it. So now there are two versions of you. The one in which the particle hit the left side of the screen and another one in which it hit the right side of the screen. And in your brain, they're constantly quantum processes going on. And those could have different outcomes. And so every time you kind of make a decision in which a quantum process was involved, which we don't really know how much they are involved, but it's just for the sake of the argument assume it is involved. Then there are now several different versions of you. And each of them has made a different decision and continues to live their life in a different way. And similarly, in eternal inflation where you have all these different big banks, those universes, some of those elementary particles are tiny little bit different. So you're pretty much the same person that you are in this universe, except that I don't know. There's a tiny little difference in your genetic code and that will lead you to choose a different profession, maybe you're not making a podcast, I don't know, maybe you're into writing books or something like this. The problem with all those other universes that you have in the different versions of multiverses is that we can't observe them. And it's not just that it's difficult and we haven't yet been able to do it. It's impossible even in principle. For example, in the many words interpretation, the whole point about splitting the universe is that you don't see the other outcome of the experiment. So he don't measure it. So why do physicists believe that those other universes actually exist? Well, it's because they show up in their mathematics. So basically they say, what I have to speak piece of mathematics and some of what I see in my mathematics corresponds to what we actually do observe. Therefore, I did use everything I see in my mathematics also has to exist. And it's this last step which I think is not a particularly good conclusion. But I mean, if you want to, you can, you can believe that those are the universes exist. It's not that there are any observations that speak against their existence either. So I would say this is as my friend Tim Palmer put it in a scientific belief if you want to, you can believe in those other universes with copies of you. But you shouldn't think that science actually delivers evidence for it. Interesting. So what led you, by the way, to start studying mathematics. You said you started with mathematics.

"Exist. Yeah, sure. So the question whether copies of us exist comes up in this idea of the multiverse, which has been kind of popular and the foundations of physics in the past want to decades. There are several different types of multiverses. Brian green has written a book about it in which he lists 9, but I think I'm not going through the whole list.

"No reason to think that there's any observation in nature in general, not just in physics in particular that can not be described by mathematics. But I've entertained the thought if it's possible to do science without mathematics and maybe somewhat disturbingly disturbingly for you. I come to the conclusion you can conceivably do it. That's because of you, if you think about it, what we do in many cases is that we use mathematics as kind of a middleman. We extract a pattern from one system from our observations. And then we use another system, for example, it could be a computer, but it could also be a direct simulation, we use this other system to help us make a prediction for the first system. And in principle, you can take out mathematics as the middleman, you can just try to find two systems that kind of mimic each other where one is simpler and helps you to make a prediction for the more complicated one. So I think you can do this. To some extent, you could say we are already doing this in a research area that's called quantum simulation. So quantum simulations you can use fairly complicated condensed matter systems to try and mimic the behavior of elementary particles. Every once in a while, you see this in the headlines and the headline writers frequently get it wrong. They'll be talking about the discovery of some new kind of particle, but it's actually a particular excitation in some kind of material. So it's called a quasi particle, not a fundamental particle, but on some level mathematically they behave the same way. So it's quite exciting. And you could think that maybe one day you could just use some custom design condensed metal system to actually simulate what's going on in an elementary particle collision.

"An average of the source isn't quite as trivial as it sounds. So strictly speaking, we're not even sure that we're solving the right equations when we're doing cosmology. That's fascinating in its own right. I mean, cosmology seems kind of fascinating too from the, I guess here's a question that perhaps you'd be able to answer just speaking of this sort of cosmology. So I've looked at diagrams of the past and you know, they have these different epochs that have different rates of expansion rain. So I've always wondered, let me see if I can phrase this. Is it possible that it's smooth expansion that's been distorted at points in some strange way? You mean when you cross over from one epoch to another? Ah yes, when you cross over from one epoch to another, like I guess one thing I should say is that in general relativity, you are free to choose your time coordinate. So technically there are infinitely many choices of time coordinates that you could make. None of them is really any better or worse than the other often the time coordinate that physicists choose. It's what's called the co moving time that means it moves with the matter. So it's like the proper time of the matter. But of course, this is if you're doing cosmology, you're talking about a homogeneous distribution of matter in the entire universe, which is of course not strictly speaking correct. And if you do this, then you have the rather artificial looking sudden transitions from one epoch to another when meta takes over radiation or inflation stops something like this. But if you were to look at this more realistically with inhomogeneity, then those transitions would smooth out. Interesting. I always find that I always find that fascinating. I feel like when you're dealing with speed of light kind of stuff and it doubly so cosmology, you have that kind of effect where almost like the subject matter is slipping away from you as you study it. I get the same feelings when I've studied the fluid dynamics equations a few times. So I guess I'm going to ask you to is there anything about your specific background that led you to you told a little bit about the factors that led you to your previous book and how the experience from that led you to write this book but is there anything from your career the specifically either be it an event or a general progression that led you to be fascinated and I guess these kind of questions of I guess would you call that scientific ontology? Yeah, I guess it's because so I originally didn't study physics. I studied mathematics and I did this for like three four years or something but I really love mathematics. The problem was I loved all of it. It was all great. But then you come to a point where you have to make a decision. Which mathematics do you focus on? And I decided I would focus on that part of mathematics, which was good to describe nature. And that naturally led me into physics. But I've always been fascinated by the question how much of nature can we describe by mathematics?

"Some kind of meta clump, like a star or something that creates a gravitational field, and you have those non local connections that start close by the thing, but they connect it to a different place that might be very, very far away from the star. Then at this faraway place, you would now feel the stronger gravitational feed from close by the star. So the effect of the distribution of those non local links could be that the gravitational attraction of some kind of source doesn't fall off as quickly as general relativity would predict. And that's pretty much exactly what we see when we look at galaxies or galaxy clusters, which is normally attributed to dark matter. So now this sounds kind of good at first sight, so to speak, but if you think about it a little deeper, then you're really just replacing the distribution of dark matter with the distribution of those non local links and in the end you don't really gain anything. It doesn't really help you with anything and it brings in some new problems. So I'm not terribly excited about it. But it certainly is something that people have put forward. I, myself, wrote a paper about this like, I don't know, ten years ago, so I can hardly remember what's in the paper. But I was trying to address the possibility that energy can diffuse through those non local links. And that basically have the effect that particles would lose energy as they travel. So you see some kind of slowing down of highly energetic particles, and this is something which you can look for, it's often seen. But those are some possibility facts. Interesting. Yeah, it's all very, it seems all very strange when you get to that kind of, I mean, it's almost like a cliche at this point to say that it's strange when large and small scales interact. But it kind of just reminds me also of the stress energy tensor.

"And there are some people who have suggested that actually, if you go down to this very short distance scales, then there should be basically teeny tiny wormholes that would be connecting the universe one and two the other everywhere. And that would be a lot of those connections. And now let me be clear, those are so small that we can't go through them. And even the elementary particles can't go through them, but they would still connect the geometry of the universe with itself. And almost like, it seems almost like knitting the tangent bundles in stuff like that and just the geometry of the spacetime kind of. It's not the change in bundle. Do you have to, if you want it to be differentiable, you have to make sure that the tangent bundle supports the differentiable geometry. But most of the time, people treat the it's called a non local link as something which just doesn't fit to the geometry. If you want to make it more sophisticated, then I guess you would have to change the topology of the spacetime. But yeah, so but normally the way that people think about it is that the entire universe is just a big network that on those large scales that we observe approximate manifold to good accuracy. And this is why we can an Einstein's theory use four dimensional riemannian differentiable manifold. But really, if you look at short distance gas and you have all those non geometric non local connections. And so this seeming need that you need to be close to something to interact with it might just disappear if you go to very, very short, short distance scales. And it's something that the universe might be able to do.

"And for the other one, one does a complicated other measurement. And then to make a long story short, the idea is that you can somehow erase the information about which slit the photon went through. After you've already measured it. So that seems pretty pretty mind bending. Because it seems like first you go and measure which slit the photon went through. So you should have destroyed the interference pattern, but then when you measure on one of the entangled photons of the pair, what happens, then you can somehow recover this interference pattern. And so this is why people say you can kind of erase what you've already done. So at the time that you had released the quantum eraser video, at the end, you say that no one seems to be explaining. This interpretation of the quantum eraser experiment, except for I can't remember who you mentioned at the end of the video, but you said you could trust them on the quantum stuff. It was referring to a blog post from Sean Carroll, which I only found after I'd done the video after I had written the script and everything. And someone pointed out.

Got transferred and It was as close by. I a job there. You know and ended up for the tunnel. Always there Started out in the back room. Receiving the books getting them all the labels and stickers and stuff and putting them out and then got beyond the register in that kind of stuff you know so ended up stocking and working that i love being down there because it was right down the street from the windmill dinner theater and a lot of actors came through doing plays there and a few of my she stop in the store to buy some stuff excellent but i got instilled in reading. Men was watching spenser for hire series on television. And one of the ladies that worked percent if you love the show who should read the books to read in the books and behold from their own. Isn't it interesting. How things often start with television I know that my love's mystery started with watching honey west way back in the day now going back more. Yeah but yeah. It's just funny.

Exactly how did you come up with this character not to mention his wife. Who's a news reporter. I thought that was interesting. Please tell us more. Sure i mean i. I started thinking about developing i. I took a two week vacation out there. And i traveled the route. That's in the book. So whatever i saw one that way dictated into a tape recorder and came back and transpose. It all down. You know this sort of developing characters and backstories the characters and I stumbled across. I wanted to be different in a lot of ways and other writers out there writing about that and not not as far as police goes or whatever it may be you know. But i developed arthur nikai based on my love for our kalashnikov by the native american flute player. And at the time. One of my friends. Where i worked a million years ago. It seems like now Whose first thing with arthur. So i liked the way that rain together. So i use that they'll to character that As far as his. Wife sharon goes. I actually was texting back and forth in the mornings with one of the local reporters in the nbc station here and chicago and Wanted to ask her some questions about you. Know what you give up to have this life you have. I wanted to make her real and things that happen In their life once you have that job while things you don't get to do You miss a lot of birthdays. Anniversaries you're always on the air doing something you know so. She helped out a lot with that. And i developed that curator of the other ones of jake. Bill cody which is loosely based on my grandfather large barrel chested man. You know With that so i start molding these people into what i i have now needs really interesting the way your travels informed your fiction writing. So yeah i. What was the whole plan to do that. Because you know you can't just look online and find pictures and things and do things and men do searches. you have to be there. And that's what i found out a long time ago. I told on hillerman once at the her father helped me understand the importance of descriptive sentencing. You know surrounding sect place I think robert parker helped me develop a dialogue kind of conversations in books. So i use those along with that. I had to be there. You have the smell that you have to see to taste it and feel the heat feel the cold in order to convey that to the reader in the book and a lot of people who have read my books feel like they're right there in the situation in the area. I love that.

You were a teacher. So how did you become a writer. Yeah so my road to writing and publication was really windy and long always been a really voracious reader. Remember getting stacks and stacks of books from the library on my mama. Take me there like every weekend. And i would get you back then. I think libraries have limited to now. But back then you. It was as much as you could carry over like rain. Myself down with books But i never really saw myself in any of the books that i read. I looking back now as i am. Kind of examining my adolescents. I i had never read a book. By japanese american author or even an asian american author.

Who is going here what i have to say. Who's gonna listen to me. Yes you have to get that out of your head. And i have a cool story to tell you about that This happened to me yesterday yesterday morning. Burt early in the morning. I was out for a run. And i get a call from a different time zone and thinking well this sunday morning. Why would i be getting. He's calling and recognize the also. I didn't take the call. This person left a message. This person is a very famous speaker. That i happen to quote in my book so i sent him a copy of my book. I told you how. I'm sending copies of the book out to people influential. Yeah so he leaves this message and he said you know. sometimes. I just don't know if anybody's listening to my words. I don't know if i'm making an impact in this world. He said when. I got your book and i read my words in your book. It convinced me that i thought. Wow this is a guy who only flies first class to his speaking engagements. Wow the fact. I put him in my book. Well my in. It just made his day. Oh wow we just have to get over that imposter syndrome. Where everybody else is much better than we are. Everybody else knows so much more than i do. You know have you know who's gonna pay any attention to me. Get past that. You have no idea how you might make a difference. That's that that's i'm really powerful. I mean that just blew me away her. I mean this guy who i. He's been like up on a pedestal. He's been a god to me. You know. I mean just amazed me that he would think that nobody's listening to him. It's like i hang on. Every word adds. That is really that. Is that story just. It's it's cultivating because You know that's a really big issue imposter syndrome. That's a really big issue. And i think it's one of the reasons why are of enterpreneurs. Don't even trust themselves in after soda or even start their business. Whatever that may be they went to start. It's like i don't have next reince that before of these other questions so hearing you giving the example. That's what what gets me over that. Herbert gets me past the impostor syndrome. Is that when. I'm on my deathbed by the way the there's three there's three regrets. People have regrets on their deathbeds. Okay there's three. They typically have Give me one. What do you think if people wish. They could have done something differently in their life. What do you think it primarily. Give me one of the three being moth being more of who. They are what they've done with them out as one of them. Yeah that's exactly number. Two number one is some relationship. They didn't spend enough time on. Maybe a family member a number two. They didn't take a chance on some business. Opportunity looked too risky. There was no guarantee three. They never critically evaluated their lives. They did with how. I'm gonna do. Today what i did yesterday. I'll do the same thing tomorrow before you know. Twenty three years have passed. I do not want regret number two. I am going to push myself to do the best i can and forget about. You know the negative voices in my head saying who are you to write a book. Who are you to pretend to be an expert. There's people out there who know much more than you do. No i'm just gonna push that aside because on my death bed. I want to know that. I did the best i possibly could. Absolutely that is that is a very. I think it's it's something that i've heard a lot of enterpreneurs and business owners who has really excelled a look at this as a way of realizing and evaluating themselves and that days and the progress because sometimes i think we do catch ourselves just drifting through life. We've forgotten we've gotten What do you call that. We've gotten used to not achieving any more goals on only we feel a little satisfied and we think we should enjoy the satisfaction that was on those little goals said of aiming even bigger goals. And so yeah. That makes a lot of sense. That's absolutely so for you. You're saying that what gets you through. That they're wanting to avoid those regret exact. Exactly i'm gonna push myself past those things because that's a bigger concern You know. I'm not gonna worry about the impostor syndrome. I want to know that whatever god given talent that i was given i used it to my fullest capacity. Okay so we have covered affectionate zim with is just get it done then. We have covered this idea of that. Fear may walk. You know the impostor syndrome and then covered the cost now that i'm wondering that have a next. We'll be in terms of time management. How do you go about. 'cause this is usually where one of the things we'll sit down and say it's gonna take me weeks or months I'm wondering how do you go about processing that yourself Yeah i could see where that would be the case once again if you just sat down with the you to paper and a pen but if you could do something like we talked about where you can give a presentation And you record it either audio or video. After that. it's just a matter of a few hours. You could probably take that script. Abby images do the other things the editing Probably over a long weekend and get it up to kindle direct publishing so it's not so much the writing the book the tasks long time. It's getting the knowledge out of your head is related over the years. Yes are doing. And i would also suggest doing some research people That's the other thing i had in mind with. My book is back in the nineteen twenties at there was a publisher who put out a copies of these little blue books. You could buy twenty of them for dollar and what he.

It's not a bad life being a being a shot in well. We're here today to talk about the latest book news in asian american literature We always start with the latest publishing deals And it's a pretty light month. January is typically just not a big month for deals said it's a it's a debt month mainly because the holiday season has passed but there are a saw. Let's get to them. What's i deal. I deal is amulet acquired. My sister's big fat indian wedding by patel. The why romcom follows an aspiring violinist.

I love wedding stories. I love movies. That take place during weddings. And it's just. I don't know i just like big party. Seems yeah annoy mentioned that. I've never been to indian wedding. But i hear they're per t nuts Chinese weddings would just eat a lot. korean wedding. I don't think i've twinned with those neither well. Korean weddings have definitely transformed a lot from the traditional crean weddings Sort of like for the korean traditional weddings like you wear like humble and there's like specific rituals you drink alcohol and you catch dates with your skirt and whatnot and a lot of a lot of couples. Don't do that anymore. It's become very streamlined and westernized so Actually have a pretty funny story about about korean wedding so last time i went to korea I went for my cousin's wedding and it was my first korean wedding that it was going to and it took place at a wedding hall. There's there's a bunch of wedding halls in this district and seoul and pretty much like what they do is like the bride usually doesn't buy address. They can rent it from the wedding hall. And they have like makeup artists and hairstylists. It's all part of the package. So it's much cheaper and the bride usually sits like in a sitting room where people come up and say congratulations and then they take pictures. So it's literally a place for people to just take pictures with the bride and once the wedding starts for my cousin's wedding. There was like a runway like it wasn't like an eye on it was like a platform runway show. Yeah it's kind of like a modeling runway and every everything in the wedding hall was like super. It seemed more kind of like Like a press conference in way. It didn't it was definitely like not like the romantic decorations that you see in american weddings. But they don't have bridesmaids they don't have groomsmen but what they do have our wedding singers. So what happens during the wedding is that they have like a performer. Sometimes it's a friend who can sing really well or professional wedding singer and they serenade the couple but the thing is it's very awkward because the couple is just standing there watching the wedding singer like saturday to them. And it's like it's just like okay. Well like no one is. Dancing is just like them standing there and watching the strangers sing to them and you have an option of having like a dinner and show pretty much so people will be like eating while they watched the wedding hap. It happened sometimes. it's a buffet style so for the buffet style. Which was what happened with my cousin's wedding. Everyone who is invited to wedding. They have to like pay because that is like the wedding tradition. You pay money to help. Cover the cost of housing for them. Or whatever. if you go to like an asian wedding attorneys wedding everyone brings. There's no wedding gifts. Everyone just brings down belowps. Yeah bring envelopes. And there's like a set amount depending on how close you are to the bride and groom so. If you're just like a coworker it might just be like like twenty five dollars or whatever and the closer you are you pay more

The goal was to see if college is worth programs have been more successful at crecy gender representation. East sports than professional sports have there are a few women who compete at the highest levels of professional sports. Rockets Karma is well regarded player who has spent time in. Her stoldas women, when major tournaments it so as fortnight, but for dependent environment that doesn't have fiscal differences creating a gap between genders us for to still almost entirely male dominated Nick Taylor co-authored the study and associate professor of Communication at NC State said in the journal quote five years ago we thought collegiate sports might be an opportunity to create a welcoming diverse competitive arena which. Was a big deal given how male-dominated the professional eastward scene was rapid growth of collegiate sports over the past five years has led to it becoming more professional with many universities having paid eastwards, positions, recruiting players at so odd we wanted to see how that professionalization has affected collegiate sports and what that means for gender diversity. The findings did not give us reason to be optimistic. For this study naked, his Co author interviewed Twenty One people involved in these sports programs. Eight of the people are part of Varsity programs with the other thirteen being president of their schools. Collegiate East Sports Club six of the respondents identified as women fifteen identified as men PhD Student Bright Style, the other CO author of the study told the Journal. Quote essentially, we found that women are effectively pushed out of eastwards many colleges when they start investing financial resources in east, Sports Program we talk lease sports might help to address the disenfranchise women in eastport at engaging more generally instead, it seems to simply be an extension of that disenfranchisement and quote. While an interview of twenty, one people isn't a perfect encapsulation of the wide-ranging college. He's worth ecosystem, all twenty one or in key rules of big programs meaning they speak for quite a few more when it comes to gender disparity. College eastwards still have a chance to be a place where we can create more inclusive east sports environments, but `gate-keeping in Tuxes D- are still real problems that women face in the space without focused initiatives that disparity won't get much better.
