Failure
Wall Street and Silicon Valley – the two worlds this book examines – promote the illusion that scarcity can and should be eliminated in the age of seamless “flow.” Instead, Appadurai and Alexander propose a theory of habitual and strategic failure by exploring debt, crisis, digital divides, and (dis)connectivity.Moving between the planned obsolescence and deliberate precariousness of digital technologies and the “too big to fail” logic of the Great Recession, they argue that the sense of failure is real in that it produces disappointment and pain.Yet, failure is not a self-evident quality of projects, institutions, technologies, or lives.It requires a new and urgent understanding of the conditions under which repeated breakdowns and collapses are quickly forgotten. By looking at such moments of forgetfulness, this highly original book offers a multilayered account of failure and a general theory of denial, memory, and nascent systems of control.

What is the difference between left heart failure and forward failure, as well as right heart failure and backward failure?
Left heart failure and forward failure are terms used interchangeably to describe the inability of the left side of the heart to pump blood effectively to the body, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath and fatigue. On the other hand, right heart failure and backward failure refer to the inability of the right side of the heart to effectively pump blood to the lungs for oxygenation, resulting in symptoms like fluid retention and swelling in the body. Essentially, left heart failure affects the systemic circulation, while right heart failure impacts the pulmonary circulation.

Is failure predetermined?
Failure is not predetermined. While there may be factors that increase the likelihood of failure, such as lack of preparation or poor decision-making, ultimately the outcome of any endeavor is influenced by a combination of factors, including effort, skill, and circumstances.

With determination, resilience, and a willingness to learn from mistakes, individuals can overcome failure and achieve their goals.

Dieppe : A Necessary Failure
The Allied assault on the German-occupied port of Dieppe in France, code-named Operation Jubilee, took place on 19 August 1942.It was a battle that lasted for less than ten hours but it has gone down in history as a military disaster, often spoken of in the same manner as the Charge of the Light Brigade and Gallipoli.The German defences had been underestimated. The numbers killed, wounded and taken prisoner at Dieppe were shockingly high and none of the main objectives were realised.The Third Reich considered the raid as a military joke and it provided a textbook of ‘what not to do’ in future amphibious operations. Dieppe was the largest tri-service operation ever mounted up until that point, and even if the planning for the operation was woefully inadequate, it showed that the three services could coordinate their movements under one command.Many believe that Dieppe should not be looked upon as an isolated incident because then its purpose is totally obscured by its terrible cost.Put into context, it was one in a series of raids between Dunkirk and D-Day designed to test the defences of Hitler’s Atlantic Wall, the most famous and successful being the attack on St Nazaire, which is still considered to be the greatest Commando raid of all time. Author Henry Buckton has searched the voluminous records of interviews with Canadian Dieppe veterans collected by Historica Canada to shed new light on this terrible – but perhaps necessary – failure.

Forgetting : Explaining Memory Failure
Forgetting is the most obvious feature of human memory, whether this is everyday forgetfulness, like leaving your keys at home, or more serious medical conditions, such as amnesia.Forgetting: Explaining Memory Failure uses the most up-to-date evidence available to examine the psychological processes behind these extremes and everything in between.It explores why we have so little recollection of our childhood lives, as well as why we may create false memories of events that never happened. In this book, Michael Eysenck & David Groome use cutting-edge research to examine one of the central issues in the study of memory: forgetting.It challenges assumptions about the processing of memory, offering insights into key debates, as well as providing readers with the critical skills to develop their own conclusions on the topic.With chapters from leading figures, this book also emphasises the positive aspects of forgetting, an important and often overlooked area in the field.

Architecture of Failure, The
Against those who consider architecture to be a wholly optimistic activity, this book shows how the history of modern architecture is inextricably tied to ideas of failure and ruin. By means of an original reading of the earliest origins of modernism, the Architecture of Failure exposes the ways in which failure has been suppressed, ignored and denied in the way we design our cities.It examines the 19th century fantasy architecture of the iron and glass exhibition palaces, strange, unprecedented, dream-like structures, almost all now lost, existing only as melancholy archive fragments; it traces the cultural legacy of these buildings through the heroics of the early 20th century, post-war radicals and recent developments, discussing related themes in art, literature, politics and philosophy. Critiquing the capitalist symbolism of the self-styled contemporary avant-garde, the book outlines a new history of contemporary architecture, and attempts to recover a radical approach to understanding what we build.Douglas Murphy blogs at http://www.youyouidiot.blogspot.com/

Is liver failure painful?
Liver failure itself is not typically painful, as the liver does not have nerve endings that sense pain. However, the underlying conditions that can lead to liver failure, such as cirrhosis or hepatitis, can cause discomfort and pain. Additionally, complications of liver failure, such as ascites (fluid buildup in the abdomen) or hepatic encephalopathy (brain dysfunction), can be painful or uncomfortable. It is important for individuals with liver disease to work closely with their healthcare providers to manage symptoms and pain effectively.

Was Hirohito a failure?
Hirohito's reign as Emperor of Japan was marked by significant challenges and failures, particularly during World War II. His role in the war and the atrocities committed by the Japanese military under his rule have been widely criticized. However, after the war, Hirohito played a key role in Japan's post-war recovery and transition to a constitutional monarchy. While his reign had its failures, particularly during the war, his later efforts to rebuild Japan's image and society have been viewed more positively. Ultimately, whether Hirohito was a failure depends on the specific aspects of his reign that are being evaluated.
