The book describes Brian and Jan's visits to Africa, initially to visit their son who was a volunteer working for VSO (Voluntary Service Overseas). The visits inspired a wish to travel elsewhere which became their hobby in retirement. A large part of the story concerns Eritrea, the first time they had travelled to Africa, where they were inspired by the people who were trying to rebuild a country decimated by a 30 year war with Ethiopia. They followed the country's further war and what happened long after their visit. It also covers visits to other African countries where their son had employment as a VSO.

Israel's Beneficent Dead

Israel's Beneficent Dead

Brian B. Schmidt

Mohr Siebeck
1994
sidottu
Did the ancient Israelites perform rituals expressive of the belief in the supernatural beneficent power of the dead? Contrary to long held notions of primitive society and the euhemeristic origin of the divine, various factors indicate that the ancestor cult, that is, ancestor veneration or worship, was not observed in the Iron Age Levant. The Israelites did not adopt an ancient Canaanite ancestor cult that became the object of biblical scorn. Yet, a variety of mortuary rituals and cults were performed in Levantine society; mourning and funerary rites and longer-term rituals such as the care for the dead and commemoration. Rituals and monuments in or at burial sites, and especially the recitation of the deceased's name, recounted the dead's lived lives for familial survivors. They served broader social functions as well; e.g., to legitimate primogeniture and to reinforce a community's social collectivity.Another ritual complex from the domain of divination, namely necromancy, might have expressed the Israelite dead's beneficent powers. Yet, was this power to reveal knowledge that of the dead or was it a power conveyed through the dead, but that remained attributable to another supranatural being of non-human origin? Contemporary Assyrian necromancers utilized the ghost as a conduit through which divine knowledge was revealed to ascertain the future and so Judah's king Manasseh, a loyal Assyrian vassal, emulated these new Assyrian imperial forms of prognostication. As a de-legitimating rhetorical strategy, necromancy was then integrated into biblical traditions about the more distant past and attributed fictive Canaanite origins (Deut 18). In its final literary setting, necromancy was depicted as the Achille's heel of the nation's first royal dynasty, that of the Saulides (1 Sam 28), and more tellingly, its second, that of the Davidides (2 Kgs. 21:6; 23:24).

The Materiality of Power

The Materiality of Power

Brian B. Schmidt

Mohr Siebeck
2016
sidottu
Brian B. Schmidt presents five case studies in which architectural spaces, artifacts, epigraphs, images and biblical manuscripts corroborate the existence of a robust daimonic realm ruled by YHWH and Asherah in late pre-exilic Israel and an embryonic pandemonium foreshadowing later demonological constructs. The material and epigraphic data from Kuntillet Ajrud, Ketef Hinnom, and Khirbet el-Qom, along with the early manuscript evidence from Deut 32 and 1 Sam 28, indicate that this pandemonium wreaked havoc on the living and the dead. These same data also preserve a countervailing realm of apotropaism—a realm over which YHWH and Asherah, portrayed as Egypt's quintessential protective deities Bes and Beset, governed. Various other material media including amulets, inscribed blessings and decorated jars also conveyed this counteractive apotropaism. Yet, the data as a whole highlight Asherah's central role in this magical realm as YHWH's mediatrix. Alongside various protective spirits, Asherah executed divine protection for mortals, those alive and departed, from threatening demons.

The Role of Prompts as Focus on Form on Uptake

The Role of Prompts as Focus on Form on Uptake

Brian B Boisvert

Scholars' Press
2013
pokkari
Students are human beings; they, like all of us, make mistakes. How, if, when, under what conditions and to what degree these errors are treated is a current focus in research regarding language acquisition. The role of feedback has found a somewhat limited, very informative and equally persuasive niche in current theory building and research. This study examines this role in its function and efficacy comparing an implicit prompt, the clarification request, with an explicit prompt, metalinguistic feedback on students' spoken errors in the use of a complex target structure, the subjunctive in nominal clauses in Spanish. Efficacy of the feedback is measured through successful student uptake, that is, whether or not students are able to self-repair as a result of the intervention and then through development operationalized as mean gains in a pre-test/post-test design. Statistical significance is shown for uptake with metalinguistic feedback only, however no development is shown as a result of any feedback due to the target structure's acquisition complexity.

Superconductor Materials Science: Metallurgy, Fabrication, and Applications

Superconductor Materials Science: Metallurgy, Fabrication, and Applications

Simon Foner; Brian B. Schwartz

Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
2012
nidottu
This book encompasses the science, measurement, fabrica­ tion, and use of superconducting materials in large scale and small scale technologies. The present book is in some sense a continuation and completion of a series of two earlier books based on NA TO Advanced Study Institutes held over the last decade. The first book in the series entitled Superconducting Machines ~nd Devices: Large Systems Appli­ cations edited by S. Foner and B. B. Schwartz (1974) represented a compilation of all the applications of superconducting technology. The second book entitled Superconductor Applications: Squids and Machines, edited by B. B. Schwartz and S. Foner (1977) reviewed small scale applications and up-dated the large scale applications of superconductiv­ ity at that time. These two books are both introductions and advanced reference volumes for almost all aspects of the applications of super­ conductivity. The growth of applied superconductivity has mushroomed in the decade of the 1970's. Technologies which were discussed in the beginning of the 1970's are now beyond the prototype stage. Materials development and performance in operating systems is the basis of the continued applications and economic viability of super­ conducting technology. In this book, a complete review of all materials technology is presented by leading authorities who were instrumental in the development of superconducting materials technology. The present book is based on the NATO Advanced Study vi PREFACE Institute entitled Superconducting Materials: Science and Technology which was held from August 20 to August 30, 1980 in Sintra, Portugal.

This volume is of interest to science educators, graduate students, and classroom teachers. The book will also be an important addition to any scholarly library focusing on science education, science literacy, and writing. This book is unique in that it synthesizes the research of the three leading researchers in the field of writing to learn science: Carolyn S. Wallace, Brian Hand, and Vaughan Prain. It includes a comprehensive review of salient literature in the field, detailed reports of the authors' own research studies, and current and future issues on writing in science. The book is the first to definitely answer the question, "Does writing improve science learning?". Further, it provides evidence for some of the mechanisms through which learning occurs. It combines both theory and practice in a unique way. Although primarily a tool for research, classroom teachers will also find many practical suggestions for using writing in the science classroom.

La Petite Mort Den Lille Død Det franske begreb ”La Petite Mort” er en metafor for orgasme. I videre betydning kan temaet referere til den spirituelle udfrielse, som kommer med orgasme, eller en kort periode af melankoli eller transcendens, som resultat af udladningen af livskraft. At gi slip. "La Petite Mort" er fællestitlen for en serie erotiske tegninger, jeg påbegyndte for flere år siden og i perioder er vendt tilbage til. For et par år siden fik jeg ideen til en bogudgivelse med en slags ”omvendt illustration”. At få nogle andre bud på mine tegninger, i litterær fiktion. Derfor opfordrede jeg forskellige forfattere til at byde ind på én af de tematiske tegninger efter eget valg. Forfatterhjerner interagerer faktisk meget forskelligt (ligesom billedkunst­neres), og for nogle er det en ubrugelig fremgangsmåde. Men der var heldigvis nogle mere visuelt orienterede forfattere, som tog udfordringen op. Deres fine og meget forskellige tekster har gjort denne bog mulig. En yndet påstand blandt nogle kvinder, blandt andet en kvindelig forfatter jeg hørte i radioen, er at kvinder er optaget af det erotiske, hvorimod mænd kun tænker på sex. Påstanden er muligvis baseret på disse kvinders erfaringer med den type mænd som de tænder på, men jeg opfattede det som en grov sexistisk generalisering. Derfor er det kun mænd der kommer til orde i denne lille bogudgivelse. Forskellige mænd. Bedøm selv. Jo Blicher Møller JOMO.DK

Building Maintenance

Building Maintenance

Brian J.B. Wood

Wiley-Blackwell (an imprint of John Wiley Sons Ltd)
2009
nidottu
Maintaining a building is expensive: it costs many times more to run a building over its lifetime than to build it, yet maintenance is often not accorded the priority it warrants. A poorly maintained building will be a drain on resources and will impair building use, whereas a well maintained building will function smoothly and represent an appreciating asset to its owners. Building Maintenance is a core text on the technical aspects of maintenance for undergraduate degree students on built environment courses, particularly building surveying and facilities management. It addresses the ‘who, what, where, when, how and why’ of maintenance activities and shows that maintenance should be considered seriously at the design stage. Extensive case studies illustrate what can go wrong, how to put matters right and how to get it right first time, next time. A professional approach is required to building maintenance. By encouraging maintenance managers to stand back and take a strategic view of building maintenance alongside their day-to-day tasks, this book will help practitioners and students to achieve that.

Maybe the Whole Ocean

Maybe the Whole Ocean

Brian R K B Lim

Paradigm Hawaii Publishing
2021
pokkari
Just as the ocean covers most of the planet, relationships compromise the majority of life. Strategic navigation of relationships occurs as people consider a cognitive understanding of emotions, e.g., that feelings are more governed by thinking than by circumstances. This is foundational for explaining how most interpersonal problems can be minimized and how new levels of freedom and joy in relationships with others can be experienced. Using additional metaphors, fourteen topics related to relationships are explored: emotion, freedom, human nature, competition and cooperation, motivation, grace, communication, anger, sadness, happiness, fear, connection, forgiveness, and virtue. Each topic is discussed with an emphasis on a cognitive model of emotions as well as reflections on various relevant Bible passages. Overall, this book attempts to show, through various principles, acronyms, analogies, and examples, that a simple idea (thoughts determine emotions) can make a significant difference. This idea is essential to understanding how people can be more emotionally responsive than reactive, which in turn will result in interpersonal dynamics that are characterized more by opportunity than obligation, cooperation rather than competition, and thriving rather than just surviving.
