New Yorkers Michael, a famous writer, and Lizzie, a journalist, travel to Italy with their friends from Maine – Finn; his wife, Taylor; and their daughter, Snow. “From the beginning,” says Taylor, “it was a conspiracy for Lizzie and Finn to be together.” Told Rashomon-style in alternating points of view, the characters expose and stumble upon lies and infidelities past and present. Snow, ten years old and precociously drawn into a far more adult drama, becomes the catalyst for catastrophe as the novel explores collusion and betrayal in marriage. With her inimitable psychological astuteness and uncanny understanding of the human heart, Ephron delivers a powerful meditation on marriage, friendship, and the meaning of travel. Set on the sun-drenched coast of the Ionian Sea, Siracusa unfolds with the pacing of a psychological thriller and delivers an unexpected final act that none will see coming.

Journalist Conor Jamison uncovers the biggest story of his career while sitting at the bedside of his dying grandfather. He knows little of his grandfather Melvin's life largely because Melvin has been secretive about his past. Now, gleaned from his grandfather's often incoherent ramblings and augmented by his own research, Conor pieces together an incredible story - a story so unlikely, it must be true. The story of a life rooted in Eastern Europe, resurrected from the ash piles of Birkenau and rendered unlivable by the threats of the criminal underworld until it is reimagined in the love of a good woman. His grandfather's story makes it clear that all things in life, both truth and lies, have consequences.

The Alphabet Concerto

Steve Delia's The Alphabet Concerto The concept for the alphabet poems began when I attended the Philadelphia Writers Conference and took a poetry class taught by Leonard Gontarek. He gave us a sheet of paper with just titles on it and challenged us to pick one or more titles and write poems around them. I tried a few but nothing happened. I put the paper away, forgot about it for months, then came across it again. One title was called, "Beginning With O"; suddenly something clicked and I had a poem. I wrote every first line of the poem with a word that began with the letter O. Sometime after that at a poetry critique session, I was advised to keep developing at what I was then calling, "The Alphabet Poems." I soon discovered that trying to write every line of a poem beginning with its accompanying letter proved to be too difficult and very limiting. I then tried filling the poems with words that began with their respective letter; that's when it really took off. The only letter that is simply impossible to do anything with is the letter X; there are only 25 or so X words to work with. I was unable to produce anything that made any kind of sense. I feel kind of sorry for the letter X. Rodger Lowenthal came to the rescue when he suggested that I try words that begin with, "EX." This proved to be the way to go. "The Alphabet Poems" sat on the shelf for a long time. I was out there reading them but certain obstacles prevented the manuscript from moving forward which turned into a good thing. My friend, the wonderful poet, Sandy Becker, read the manuscript and offered a couple of suggestions, including changing the name of the book, which she thought mundane. She was right. She pulled a few ideas for titles right out of the poems themselves. The winner was taken from the poem for the letter, "C. "The book then became, "The Alphabet Concerto," a title with far more pizzazz. Thank you Sandy Seven years later, this book finally gets voltage and, like Frankenstein's monster, finally has life. It was a long time coming and is a book I feel proud of. I hope you enjoy it. -- Steve Delia

Las im genes digitales por lo general se representan en color o niveles de grises y son una fuente de informaci n muy importante. Por ello, los desarrollos te ricos y tecnol gicos que permitan interpretarlas con el fin de obtener el mayor provecho de la informaci n que contienen, ocupan un lugar muy importante en el quehacer cient fico actual. La combinaci n de t cnicas de procesamiento digital de im genes, reconocimiento de patrones e inteligencia artificial permiten una mejor extracci n de caracter sticas de la imagen y por tanto un an lisis m s eficiente de los objetos que la componen. El zooplancton representa la principal fuente de alimento marina y por ese motivo es muy importante su estudio para determinar cu les son los factores que afectan su producci n e influir en estos. Este trabajo propone un nuevo algoritmo que posibilita el an lisis de cortes de tejidos en im genes de c lulas reproductoras del zooplancton y realiza una comparaci n entre diferentes redes neuronales para seleccionar el mejor clasificador a la hora de extraer el porciento de p xeles destinados a los componentes integrantes de su citoplasma, que constituyen la base para diferentes estudios biol gicos.

Mediating between Purity and Defilement

Mediating between Purity and Defilement

Nicola Delia

Galda Verlag
2024
pokkari
This book investigates shifting gender dynamics in a Buddhist monastery for women in Northern Thailand. Based on ethnographic fieldwork with a community of female monastics in the province of Chiang Mai, the study explores women's agency in recently establishing, with success, the region's first known order of fully ordained Buddhist nuns (bhikkhunī). Central to the investigation are tensions arising from novel images of women's bodies clothed in saffron robes that have historically been associated with male power and prestige. The study asks how local veneration of charismatic nuns is reconciled with longstanding beliefs in a female capacity to defile or destroy sacred potency. Time-honoured notions of menstrual pollution are revisited, as are ways in which these are reproduced as well as reconfigured in the female monastery. Particular attention is also paid to solidarity from local monks with women's controversial ordination projects in Chiang Mai. The book draws on concepts of practice and performativity, ascetic charisma and protective power. In so doing it highlights processes by which female monastics in a Northern Thai context navigate fluid gender boundaries as they lay claim to Buddhist merit and spiritual potency of a kind long attributed in Thailand to monks. Inspired by a proposal put forward by Nicola Tannenbaum for the study of Thai gender, these findings are in turn linked to constructions of power and gendered access to it observed across Southeast Asia. ABOUT THE SERIES Developments in the field of area studies - goaded by the analytical deconstruction of world regions as such - have deeply affected the knowledge production on societies and cultures located in these politicized compartmentalization of the globe. With this series, the editors and authors wish to contribute to a reformulation of area studies that emphasizes the continuing epistemic value of contextualized knowledge production that is firmly rooted in concrete places.

Escribo para soltar el peso de cuarenta a os rumiando el mito de mi padre, las infinitas versiones de mi padre.A sus cuarenta a os, como un road trip, sin m s referente que una fotograf a vieja, una hija emprende la b squeda de su padre. Mientras narra la decisi n de ir a conocerlo y el viaje que la lleva de Ciudad de M xico a Michoac n, iremos construyendo, junto a ella, el pasado, los amores, las alegr as, los accidentes, las ausencias. «Todos somos hijos de Pedro P ramo , nos dice Alma Delia Murillo, ante el factor tan com n que es el abandono del hogar por parte del padre. Frente a este hecho, ella se desnuda en cada cap tulo para hablarnos de la necesidad de reconstruir ese s mbolo de peso universal, para lograr definirse. Su vida, entonces, se despliega como el entramado de esta b squeda: entre siete hermanos y una madre trabajadora, la protagonista crece y reflexiona no s lo sobre su biograf a, sino tambi n sobre la historia de un pa s profundamente dividido en donde las mujeres no han contado lo suficiente, desde su punto de vista, el relato del padre. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION I write to be unburdened from the weight of forty years ruminating on the infinite versions of the myth of my father. At forty years old, as if in a road trip, with nothing but an old photograph, a daughter goes on a search for her father. As she gives an account of both her decision to meet him and the trip taking her from Mexico City to Michoac n, readers accompany her reconstruction of the past its love, its joys, its accidents and absences. «We are all children of Pedro P ramo, Alma Delia Murillo tells us, as she deals with a father who decided to leave home. Written with the utmost sincerity, Murillo rebuilds that universal parental symbol, chapter by chapter, in an attempt to define her own self. Her life unfolds as this search does. With seven brothers and a working mother, the main character grows up examining her own life and the history of a deeply divided country, in which women have not sufficiently told, from their own point of view, the story of the father.
