In the great tradition of classic novels like The Robe by Lloyd C. Douglas and, more recently, Christ the Lord by Anne Rice and Stone Tables by Orson Scott Card, The Masada Scroll is bold and reverent, with deep and important meaning for today's world.At the core of this timely narrative lies the revelation of a previously undiscovered gospel predating the four New Testament gospels. The ancient scroll introduces a mysterious symbol fusing the Star of David, the Christian Cross, and the Crescent and Star of Islam, symbols that didn't exist during the gospel's writing, adding to the mystery that the Irish priest, Michael Flannery, must unravel.Flannery soon discovers that the symbol embodies the concept of Trevia Dei, or the Three Paths to God. At its heart lies Jesus's message of unity among these paths to reach God. Over the centuries, the true essence of Trevia Dei became distorted, reducing the message of unity to a single path to salvation. However, there are those who seek to obstruct the transmission of this illuminating message of love and light to our troubled world, opting for division rather than unity among God's children.The Masada Scroll unfolds the saga of the new Apostles and their relentless struggle to reintroduce Jesus's simple message into a world longing for joy. It is a tale of the timeless quest for spiritual truth and redemption that will change the way you look at the world...and your own heart.

In the riveting follow-up to The Masada Scroll, delve into a compelling and thought-provoking narrative that remains as relevant today as ever.In Masada, the discovery of a previously unknown gospel sets in motion a powerful chain of events that rocks religious communities across the globe. This sacred scroll, penned by Dismas bar-Dismas, introduces an enigmatic symbol uniting elements of Christianity's Cross, Judaism's Star of David, and Islam's Crescent and Star. Bar-Dismas also espouses the concept of unity among Christians, Jews, and Muslims by outlining the three paths to God. The gospel's existence attracts the attention of Via Dei, a dangerous sect hell-bent on perpetuating religious conflict. Father Michael Flannery, the prophesied Keeper of the Sign, is destined to bring peace to the world through this gospel. Once a translator of the scroll, he narrowly survives an assassination attempt while en route to a historic symposium in New York, where the world's largest religious groups gather. Via Dei is determined to silence Father Flannery and prevent his message from reaching the world. Woven into the fabric of this contemporary suspense are the trials of Tobias Garlande, a scholar living during the First Crusade. Plagued by visions of future calamities, Tobias, too, is a Keeper of the Sign, and his warning to Father Flannery reverberates across centuries: Failure is not an option.Combining international intrigue and suspense with fascinating historical detail, Armor of God explores the ramifications of true faith with a compelling tale of past and present religious turmoil and touching human drama.

From New York Times bestselling author Paula Brackston, Lamp Black, Wolf Grey is an enchanting tale of love and magic featuring her signature blend of gorgeous writing, an intriguing historical backdrop, and a relatable heroine that readers are sure to fall in love with. Artist Laura Matthews finds her new home in the Welsh mountains to be a place so charged with tales and legends that she is able to reach through the gossamer-fine veil that separates her own world from that of myth and fable. She and her husband Dan have given up their city life and moved to Blaencwm, an ancient longhouse high in the hills. Here she hopes that the wild beauty will inspire her to produce her best art and will give her the baby they have longed for. But this high valley is also home to others, such as Rhys the charismatic loner who pursues Laura with fervor. And Anwen, the wise old woman from the neighboring farm who seems to know so much but talks in riddles. And then there is Merlin. Lamp Black, Wolf Grey tells both Laura's story and Merlin's. For once he too walked these hills, with his faithful grey wolf at his heel. It was here he fell in love with Megan, nurse-maid to the children of the hated local noble, Lord Geraint. Merlin was young, at the start of his renowned career as a magician, but when he refuses to help Lord Geraint it is Megan who may pay the price.

Recursive Block Coding for Image Data Compression

Recursive Block Coding for Image Data Compression

Paul M. Farrelle

Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
2011
nidottu
Recursive Block Coding, a new image data compression technique that has its roots in noncausal models for 1d and 2d signals, is the subject of this book. The underlying theory provides a multitude of compression algorithms that encompass two course coding, quad tree coding, hybrid coding and so on. Since the noncausal models provide a fundamentally different image representation, they lead to new approaches to many existing algorithms, including useful approaches for asymmetric, progressive, and adaptive coding techniques. On the theoretical front, the basic result shows that a random field (an ensemble of images) can be coded block by block such that the interblock redundancy can be completely removed while the individual blocks are transform coded. On the practical side, the artifact of tiling, a block boundary effect, present in conventional block by block transform coding techniques has been greatly suppressed. This book contains not only a theoretical discussion of the algorithms but also exhaustive simulation and suggested methodologies for ensemble design techniques. Each of the resulting algorithms has been applied to twelve images over a wide range of image data rates and the results are reported using subjective descriptions, photographs, mathematical MSE values, and h-plots, a recently proposed graphical representation showing a high level of agreement with image quality as judged subjectively.

Stumbling Block or Corner Stone?: Essays and Poems on the Christian Life

Stumbling Block or Corner Stone?: Essays and Poems on the Christian Life

Paul M. Ethington

Independently Published
2020
nidottu
This is an honest book about Christianity in short form. There's a great power in words, if you don't hitch too many of them together (Josh Billings). The book title Stumbling Block or Cornerstone is obviously taken from descriptions of Jesus Christ and its name is taken from the first essay. A New Life, is a plea for honesty about conversion and our new lives in Christ. The Greatest Questions encourages and establishes the new believer. Those essays that follow deal with such difficult subjects as sin & holiness, human relationships, the fear of the Lord, being a Christian teacher, dealing with change, praying with power, the importance of miracles, the reason for prophecy, the Bible on abortion, difficulties in the Christian life and the celebration of his wonderful salvation for mankind. These short forms can obviously be read piecemeal and so offer an opportunity for easy reading. Finally, you should know, whoever you are, that I love you from the bottom of my heart

The Black Border and Fugitive Narration in Black American Literature

The Black Border and Fugitive Narration in Black American Literature

Paula von Gleich

De Gruyter
2022
sidottu
This book tests the limits of fugitivity as a concept in recent Black feminist and Afro-pessimist thought. It follows the conceptual travels of confinement and flight through three major Black writing traditions in North America from the 1840s to the early 21st century. Cultural analysis is the basic methodological approach and recent concepts of captivity and fugitivity in Afro-pessimist and Black feminist theory form the theoretical framework.

Black & White & Noir

Black & White & Noir

Paula Rabinowitz

Columbia University Press
2002
pokkari
Black & White & Noir explores America's pulp modernism through penetrating readings of the noir sensibility lurking in an eclectic array of media: Office of War Information photography, women's experimental films, and African-American novels, among others. It traces the dark edges of cultural detritus blowing across the postwar landscape, finding in pulp a political theory that helps explain America's fascination with lurid spectacles of crime. We are accustomed to thinking of noir as a film form popularized in movies like The Maltese Falcon, The Big Sleep, and, more recently, Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. But it is also, Paula Rabinowitz argues, an avenue of social and political expression. This book offers an unparalleled historical and theoretical overview of the noir shadows cast when the media's glare is focused on the unseen and the unseemly in our culture. Through far-ranging discussions of the Starr Report, movies such as Double Indemnity and The Big Heat, and figures as various as Barbara Stanwyck, Kenneth Fearing, and Richard Wright, Rabinowitz finds in film noir the representation of modern America's attempt to submerge and mask its violent history of racial and class anatagonisms. Black & White & Noir also explores the theory and practice of stilettos, the ways in which girls in the 1950s viewed film noir as a secret language about their mothers' pasts, the extraordinary tone-setting photographs of Esther Bubley, and the smutty aspect of social workers' case studies, among other unexpected twists and provocative turns.

Bill Gates has called Paul Farmer one of the most amazing people he has ever met. CNN medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta says that “if pure altruism exists in humans, it probably looks a lot like Dr. Paul Farmer."In Paul Farmer, Servant to the Poor, Jennie Weiss Block introduces readers to this physician and medical anthropologist of international stature whose Catholic faith has driven him to work untiringly to make a preferential option for the poor in health care. Farmer, with his colleagues at Harvard University and Partners in Health, have been instrumental in bringing the fruits of modern medicine to millions of the poorest people in the world, in places like Haiti, Rwanda, Peru, Russia, Malawi, and West Africa during the recent Ebola crisis. Challenging the conventional wisdom of global health experts, Dr. Farmer has shown it is possible to deliver high-quality medical care on a large scale in settings of great poverty and to build communities around the globe where good health and hope prevail.
