Bound Ekram

Pianist Art Hirahara turns his attention above and within and blasts off “Sunward Bound” for his fourth leader album for Posi-Tone. Reaching steadily towards new realms of expression, Hirahara perseveres steadily along on his musical journey of unfoldment. “Sunward Bound” displays a clear sense of creative continuity that can be traced back on his previous albums from his joyous first steps along the “Noble Path” through his trials and tribulations of “Libations And Meditations” and into his deep explorations of the distant pathways in the “Central Line.”

With Pinku director Masaru Konuma in command (Wife to be Sacrificed, Woman in a Box and Flower and Snakes), Noble Lady Bound Vase exploit a respectable level of SM and sexual humiliation. Added to this is participation of Naomi Tani in the main role, who as long reached the cult status of “bondage queen” in Japanese cinema.

This book is a graduate-level self-study guide of bound states in elementary particle physics and consequently in the standard model. The author first recalls the usual quantum electrodynamics (QED) approach to atoms in terms of Feynman diagrams, which assume free states at asymptotic times. Motivated by general principles and data, he then develops a novel method based on a Fock expansion of bound states in temporal gauge.

Star Bound is a book for anyone who wants to learn about the American space program but isn't sure where to start. First and foremost, it's a history—short, sweet, and straightforward. From rocketry pioneer Robert Goddard's primitive flight tests in 1926 through the creation of NASA, from our first steps on the moon to construction of the International Space Station and planning a trip to Mars, readers will meet the people and projects that have put the United States at the forefront of space exploration.

The Grahams are New York-based husband-and-wife duo Doug and Alyssa Graham, who made their debut in 2013 with Riverman's Daughter, a thematic collection of country and roots rock songs inspired by a trip down the Mississippi River's historic Great River Road. On their 2015 follow-up Glory Bound, they've taken a similar conceptual tack, focusing their artistic efforts this time on the great American railways. As with their previous venture down the Mississippi, they sought an authentic, hands-on experience and, following in the footsteps of heroes like Woody Guthrie and Lead Belly, took several of their own train trips for inspiration, meeting up with potential producers along the way.
