Stephen Leacock. A hundred years ago he was the best-known English-speaking humorist in the world; today almost forgotten. He was a favorite of Jack Benny who did Leacock's shtick better and on the radio.
Literary Lapses (1910) is in hand and not really recommended.

Going trough Carl Jung books. I'd suggest you start with Memories, Dreams, Reflections.

Typo. In my language it is written Karl Jung. So misstype as it changes K to C, and J in my language is usually Y in English.
With the greatest respect, Jan Didden, and there is no nice way to say this, I think you are talking nonsense!
Last time I looked, Carl Justav Jung, the Psychiatrist, was spelled with a C in the Mother Tongue of English! If English was good enough for Shakespeare, it is good enough for me. I never go to psychiatrists, only mentally ill people visit them.

Stop spreading this erroneousness!
Stephen Leacock clearly employs Irony in his humour. Something that passes over the head of most North Americans.

Unsurprising since he was essentially English. Born in Hampshire, wherein I do also dwell. Only sent to Canada because the school fees were lower. I don't find him exceptionally funny.
Now Ambrose Bierce is funny.

I need not quote his many cynical witticisms.

Only mention that his death was not without Irony:
"In 1913, Bierce told reporters that he was travelling to Mexico to gain first-hand experience of the Mexican Revolution.[16] He disappeared and was never seen again."
A poor decision, IMO. Far safer at home with a good Stephen King novel.

It was my mistake. I wrote Yung but edited. In my mother language J is usually Y in English, hence the honest mistake/typo.
Well, you looked at the original post AFTER it was edited from Yung to Jung. So your post is overtaken by events.
That's the risk in this forum; you comment on a post and then afterwards they edit it and your post looks quite ridiculous.
Hit me a few times too.

But i had the courtesy to write up on it. On both posts after. All is good.
Hilbert-Huang transform and its applications, which is a book about an unusual kind of spectrum analysis recommended by Markw4, and the latest technical summary of IPCC working group I.
I almost completely stopped reading novels after secondary school. I used to like reading science-fiction novels, but after being forced to read dozens of completely uninteresting novels at school and getting a bad grade because I didn't remember much of their contents, I almost completely stopped reading them.

First and second years of secondary school (9th and 10th grade stateside) they pile on the canon of classical American and British novels...but my class of ~38 boys had too much after "Mutiny on the Bounty" so more than half the class used "The Classic Comics" to read "The Ox Bow Incident"-- the comics were much abridged and lacking crucial details. The test scores were a disaster and the instructor (a Jesuit in training) gave us a royal roasting! But he knocked out the lowest test scores at the end of the period.
I confess to now reading a lot of history: in current rotation: "The Battle of Salamis", "The Anglo-Saxons", and a bio of US President McKinley.
A dour British ex-pat schoolmaster straight out of a Pink Floyd song had us translating Chaucer from English into English. That would have been enough to put me off literature for life if not for the fortune of learning of Hesse through a book swap with a coworker on the GM assembly line. When auto plants are more conducive than academia to culture.
Have you found a decent definition of what is meant by a non-linear signal or non-linear data anywhere? I know what a non-linear system, circuit or equation is, but I haven't a clue how that is extended to something without some sort of input - and Huang doesn't explain that either.
Haven't thought about it in that way, the usual definition is an output not proportional to the input.
But a differential equation has a free response, defined with no input. So there may be something analogous for linearity.
Just finished reading Ted Templeman : A platinum producer's life in music. Great read, lots of insightful stories!
