A Coastline Is an Immeasurable Thing: A Memoir Across Three Continents

A Coastline Is an Immeasurable Thing: A Memoir Across Three Continents

Mary-Alice Daniel

Ecco Press
2023
nidottu
A poetic coming-of-age memoir that probes the legacies and myths of family, race, and religion--from Nigeria to England to AmericaMary-Alice Daniel's family moved from West Africa to England when she was a very young girl, leaving behind the vivid culture of her native land in the Nigerian savanna. They arrived to a blanched, cold world of prim suburbs and unfamiliar customs. So began her family's series of travels across three continents in search of places of belonging.A Coastline Is an Immeasurable Thing ventures through the physical and mythical landscapes of Daniel's upbringing. Against the backdrop of a migratory adolescence, she reckons with race, religious conflict, culture clash, and a multiplicity of possible identities. Daniel lays bare the lives and legends of her parents and past generations, unearthing the tribal mythologies that shaped her kin and her own way of being in the world. The impossible question of which tribe to claim as her own is one she has long struggled with: the Nigerian government recognizes her as Longuda, her father's tribe; according to matrilineal tradition, Daniel belongs to her mother's tribe, the nomadic Fulani; and the language she grew up speaking is that of the Hausa tribe. But her strongest emotional connection is to her adopted home: California, the final place she reveals to readers through its spellbinding history.Daniel's approach is deeply personal: in order to reclaim her legacies, she revisits her unsettled childhood and navigates the traditions of her ancestors. Her layered narratives invoke the contrasting spiritualities of her tribes: Islam, Christianity, and magic. A Coastline Is an Immeasurable Thing is a powerful cultural distillation of mythos and ethos, mapping the far-flung corners of the Black diaspora that Daniel inherits and inhabits. Through lyrical observation and deep introspection, she probes the bonds and boundaries of Blackness, from bygone colonial empires to her present home in America.

Make the most of sales and marketing Those who have direct responsibility for sales and marketing organizations, as well as those who want more knowledge about the best practices in these critical areas, will gain new and important insights from Dan Stowell's book. -- Bernard F. Sergesketter, vice president (retired), AT&T Forget the old-school approach to Sales and Marketing. These six winning practices put those departments back on par with the rest of the modern business world, and opens the door to higher profits. Based on studies in more than sixty companies -- many of them winners of the prestigious Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award -- this resource spotlights six reliable, results-generating improvement techniques, and shows how to deploy them successfully in the sales and marketing departments of any organization. The author describes each winning practice in detail, explains how each applies to sales and marketing, and provides illuminating examples of how Texas Instruments, Federal Express, Xerox and many other equally successful but less well known companies have applied the six practices in their organizations. Includes practical guidance for avoiding common pitfalls, along with an action plan for implementation.

Seven years after Jacob Marley and the three ghosts of Christmas changed Ebenezer's life, Scrooge has a problem. He's given away most of his money and brightened many lives, restored churches, and made London workhouses better for those living and working inside. If only all of that made him feel better about his life...Doubt plagues Ebenezer. Even with all of his philanthropy, he still has questions he can't answer. Are the scales balanced? Did he do enough good after that fateful Christmas Eve to avoid Jacob Marley's fate? And after a very special person dies, he adds another question: Why did God let it happen? When he falls ill himself, Ebenezer's questions take on a new desperation. From the Cratchits to the workhouse fundraisers to nephew Fred, you'll be reintroduced to several old friends, as well as a few new ones. With each visitor, Ebenezer tries to get closer to the answers to his questions. As the clock starts to run out, Ebenezer will need the words from an old friend to tip the scales in his favor. Saving Ebenezer picks up on a story started by Charles Dickens in 1843 with A Christmas Carol. Christians will appreciate a heartwarming story of God's love shown in tragedy while all readers will enjoy the common points between Saving Ebenezer and the original work.

Time, Times, and Half a Time He is to the saints what Nostradamus is to the hopeful heathen. The high ones on high and the kings of the earth are his traveling companions. Beloved by God, guided by angels, Daniel has news for the Jews - time, times, and half a time is a testimony of trouble. Interpreter, dreamer, visionary - Daniel is the master of change, transcending culture and kings. For thousands of years his word will stand, until an archangel lifts two hands. In his treatise Till The Time Be Changed, author Joe Conti gives the reasons why: Daniel's great Mosaic prayer has made the Jews his peopleSeventy weeks relates to the Sabbath and their need for full forgivenessThe Beast and his kingdom are called, diverse because they are resurrectedNebuchadnezzar, the great destroyer, is the lord of the bottomless pitJoin in this study of Daniel the dreamer, as we tackle the themes of church and state, angels, prayer, and the man of sin. Vengeance is God's, he will surely repay, when the Son of Man returns in the clouds to rescue the nation of clay.

Methods and Tastes in Modern Continuum Mechanics

Methods and Tastes in Modern Continuum Mechanics

Roger Fosdick; Eliot Fried; Daniel Tortorelli

Springer
2011
sidottu
This book is dedicated to the memory of Donald E. Carlson, who enjoyed a long distinguished career as a Professor of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; he influenced the mechanics community through his teachings, publications and interactions. The book disseminates unique research investigations which give breadth and depth to the field of continuum mechanics and provide a vision for future advancements. The common bond of Don's publications was his sound theoretical developments and fundamental insight. He carefully delineated the principal roles of kinematics, conservation laws (including the second law of thermodynamics) and constitutive assumptions not only in his discussions and writings about fundamentals in mechanics but also in his work on the formulation of initial-boundary value problems that arise in modeling the behavior of elastic and thermoelastic bodies. This book expands this lucid practice by applying these roles to model a plethora of physical phenomena on the foundations and applications of modern continuum mechanics.This is a hardbound spinoff edition previously published in the Journal of Elasticity, volumes 104 and 105, 2011.

This study develops a framework for long-term U.S. Air Force posture planning that accounts for posture drivers and identifies steps to take to increase posture robustness and agility over the 30-year planning period. The authors recommend testing posture against failure of key assumptions and a large number of possible demands; considering seemingly implausible or unimportant future demands; and balancing posture stickiness and agility."

Campionamento da popolazioni finite

Campionamento da popolazioni finite

Pier Luigi Conti; Daniela Marella

Springer Verlag
2012
nidottu
Si tratta di un'opera introduttiva al campionamento da popolazioni finite. Si ritiene che un'opera su questo argomento sia adatta alle lauree triennali, ma contiene anche una parte di materiale avanzato da utilizzare per lauree specialistiche. L'opera è ricca di esempi, ed è accessibile anche a chi abbia seguito un corso elementare di statistica e probabilità, del tipo di quelli impartiti in lauree triennali di economia. Il volume è adatto non solo a studenti di corsi di laurea in statistica, ma anche a studenti di altre facoltà che vogliano usare i metodi di campionamento con taglio elementare e applicativo senza rinunciare ad un modicum di teoria.
