Contemporary Greek Cinema and Migration

Contemporary Greek Cinema and Migration

Philip-Edward Phillis

Edinburgh University Press
2020
sidottu
Greek Cinema and Migration provides a response to urgent calls to comprehend the cultural impact of immigration in Greece, and to determine the capacity of contemporary Greek cinema to challenge the logic of Fortress Europe. Placing contemporary Greek cinema within the context of European film production and transnational cinema, the book explores the fascination of Greek filmmakers with migration, mobility, borders and identity, between 1991 and 2016. With case studies of films such as The Suspended Step of the Stork (1991), The Way to the West (2003), Man at Sea (2011) and many more, this ground-breaking book provides an in-depth understanding of contemporary Greek cinema and its direct correlation to the country's ongoing struggles to implement European modernity.

Poems of the American Empire

Poems of the American Empire

Jen Hedler Phillis

University of Iowa Press

Poems of the American Empire argues that careful attention to a particular strain of twentieth-century lyric poetry yields a counter-history of American global power. The period that Phillis covers-from Ezra Pound's A Draft of XXX Cantos in 1930 to Cathy Park Hong's Engine Empire in 2012-roughly matches what some consider the ascent and decline of the American empire. The diverse poems that appear in this book are united by their use of epic forms in the lyric poem, a combination that violates a fundamental framework of both genres' relationship to time.This book makes a groundbreaking intervention by insisting that lyric time is key to understanding the genre. These poems demonstrate the lyric form's ability to represent the totality of history, making American imperial power visible in its fullness. Neither strictly an empty celebration of American exceptionalism nor a catalog of atrocities, Poems of the American Empire allows us to see both.

The first time I had a vision of writing children's stories was in the year of 1976. It happened at work I saw in the vision I was writing stories for children to read and enjoy. I love children and I enjoy their company. In the year of 1991 I saw visions at night when I would go to bed. I saw this dog in my sleep. I would go to bed and get up at night to write down things I saw in my dreams. I had my first book published and hope to have more of my books done too.

The stories of three men on death row are entwined in the notorious Itzedin prison in Kalami, Crete during the years between 1950 and 1960. Panos, a political prisoner, Odysseas, a painter of icons, and Menelaos, a shepherd―they all await their execution. The first one is convicted because of his involvement in the Resistance with the leftists, the other two are convicted of the murder of their wives, although they were innocent.

Awareness in Action is a user-friendly text/workbook designed for undergraduate and graduate students pursuing mental health degrees (e.g., counseling, psychology, and social work) and other human relations professions (e.g., medicine, nursing, public administration, and business). It has been used successfully by trainers for professional development seminars in human relations. Awareness in Action uses group-based experiential exercises to enhance self-awareness in professional and personal relationships, in order to improve the quality of both types of relationships. It is grounded in the research of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy (SFT), group work theory, and wellness theory, widely used and accepted by mental health clinicians.
Adenosine and Adenine Nucleotides As Regulators of Cellular Function
This book provides valuable information for investigators interested in the signaling and regulatory functions of adenosine and the adenine nucleotides. Topics covered in this comprehensive volume include the historical development of research on adenosine and adenosine triphosphate; various aspects of the formation, metabolism, release, transport, and receptors for endogenous adenosine and the adenosine triphosphate; functions of purines at the cellular level; the role of adenosine in the regulation of flow in different vascular beds; and angiogenesis. The book also addresses the purinergic regulation of the cardiac, renal, gastro-intestinal, and central nervous system, as well as potential therapeutic avenues for purine use. The book will be valuable to physiologists, pharmacologists, and other basic and clinical scientists interested in updating their knowledge of the expanding biological roles of these substances.

Twenty-first-century how-to advice for parents who want to protect children as they launch them into college, from bestselling author Stephen Arterburn, host of New Life Live , the nation's number one Christian call-in counseling show. Your child is getting ready to leave home for college...and you are terrified. You've been preparing for this moment for years--but as a Christian parent, you are well aware of the kind of ideological indoctrination that takes place on most college campuses. Will your child make it through the next four years with his faith intact? This is a question syndicated radio host Stephen Arterburn hears regularly from his listeners. In Understanding and Loving Your College Student, he teams with life coach James Phillis to help parents develop in their kids a love for God that encompasses their heart, soul, mind, and strength and a love for their neighbors on campus, as well as themselves. This book will -Help parents of kids still in junior high or high school lay a solid groundwork for living out their faith -Offer tools for helping your child select the right school, including financial aid tips -Help you let go of the reins of your child's life as he becomes an adult (and makes mistakes in the process), and -Help you transition from having a child in your home to having a relationship with the adult you have raised. Raising children is never easy--and letting go is hard. But with some practical tools and wisdom from others who've been down that road, you can find peace in the process.
Fuzzy Control of Queuing Systems

Fuzzy Control of Queuing Systems

Every day we experience the annoyance of having to queue. The phenomenon is becoming more prevalent in our increasingly congested and urbanised society. Not only the visible queues in traffic jams, airport check in desks and supermarkets, but the more common invisible queues caused by voice calls and data packets in optical and wireless channels. Queues cost us time, money and resources; so what is the solution to our greater demand for services than there are facilities? Queuing control plays a crucial role in manufacturing and communication networks around the world. This pioneering approach, using fuzzy control to solve queuing control problems, determines explicit solutions to various types of control in queuing systems. The bulk of results have been developed over the past decade and are presented here together for the first time. 21 detailed case studies demonstrate an efficient departure from classical techniques. Unique work creating a new Research and Development topic. Multidisciplinary approach that will benefit researchers and students throughout the fields of artificial intelligence, operations research, optimal control, Internet techniques, communications and traffic control industries. Equipped with an extensive bibliography for easy reference and scope for further study. Existing practical problems, especially those that are unresponsive to conventional control techniques, are solved with the introduction of this novel approach. A systematic framework of the ‘fuzzy control of queuing networks’ is developed through each individual case.

Hybrid Simulation Models of Production Networks

Hybrid Simulation Models of Production Networks

Industrial production is one of the most basic human activities indispensable to the economic activity. Due to its complexity, production is not very well understood and modeled as opposed to traditional fields of inquiry such as physics. This book aims at enhancing rigorous understanding of a particular area of production, that of analysis and optimization of production lines and networks using discrete event models and simulation. To our knowledge, this is the first book treating this subject from the point of view mentioned above. We have arrived at the realization that discrete event models and simulation provide perhaps the best tools to model production lines and networks for a number of reasons. Analysis is precise but demands enormous computational resources, usually unavailable in practical situations. Brute force simulation is also precise but slow when quick decisions are to be made. Approximate analytical models are fast but often unreliable as far as accuracy is concerned. The approach of the book, on the other hand, combines speed and accuracy to an exceptional degree in most practical applications.
