A School Is a Terrible Thing to Waste: The Four *R's -- Readin'...Writin'...'Rithmetic and Reform
Learning is FUN-da-mental... THERE IS A SERIOUS CRISIS IN EDUCATION. Students are ranking lower than the students in most other countries in their test scores. The drop-out rate in most big cities is more than 30%. And many of the so-called "REFORMS" (such as NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND) that have been tried have not been very effective. Despite many ideas for 'reform' of our SCHOOLS --- violence, crime, bullying and other problems have increased in our schools. WHAT ARE THE MAIN PROBLEMS? CAN THEY BE RESOLVED? This author cleverly illustrates the problems that have been occuring in our public schools. Millions of children go to school hungry, and teachers often buy food to feed them from their own pockets...although teachers don't earn much money. There is a raging debate about how, when, and why schools should be changed and improved. But what is really the best for our students? Are there effective new ways to improve and fix our public schools? Are Charter Schools better than Public Schools? What are some of the pros and cons for reforming education? This book contains a COLLECTION of HUMOR about and ...a Pictorial Review of how some have twisted history

Siri tror inte sina ögon. Under snön ligger en ränsel. Hon slickar sina torra läppar och trycker handen mot magen. Mat? Till barnen, förstås. Men vems är lädersäcken? Inte kan hon bara ta den! – Har du berättat för någon mer om vad du hittade i ränseln, undrar Eira. Du har väl inte visat dem för någon? – Nej, svarar Siri och skakar på huvudet. – Kanske för din man? – Nej, inte ens för Ivar. Varför har hon inte gjort det? Siri vet inte, hon känner sig bara förvissad om att det är något speciellt, som hon måste hålla hemligt. Vårens vresiga eldar är en historisk relationsroman och första delen i släktkrönikan Teckentyderskan. Den utspelar sig på 1700-talet, i den otillgängliga skånska risbygden, i gränslandet mellan bördiga slätter och mörka skogar. Siri är en ung kvinna som tvingats lämna sin familj på Österlen. Barndomens trygga uppväxt har ersatts av ovisshet och utanförskap samtidigt som hon nu har ansvar för två egna små barn.Följ Siris hårda kamp mot samhällets normer, kyrkans snäva ramar och makens nycker när hon kämpar för familjens överlevnad. Som redskap har hon sin kvinnliga kraft och intuition. Stöd finner hon hos den mystiska skogskvinnan Eira.Annika R. Melin har rötter i den skånska landsbygden sedan många generationer. Själv är hon född och bosatt i Lund. Tidigare har Annika gett ut ett antal noveller. Vårens vresiga eldar är hennes romandebut.

Vse oni narisovany talantlivym khudozhnikom i vrachom-khirurgom Ruslanom Mellinym, kotoryj za svoju meditsinskuju praktiku operiroval mnozhestvo ljudej, postradavshikh iz-za chuzhoj zhestokosti. Sereznye perelomy cheljustej, porezy, ushiby, rany ot topora - avtor knigi stalkivalsja s shokirujuschimi i netipichnymi sluchajami, a patsienty, popadavshie v ego kabinet, byli izuvecheny ne tolko fizicheski, no i psikhologicheski. Kto-to iz-za strakha i styda ne reshalsja rasskazat pravdu o sluchivshemsja. Kto-to pytalsja opravdat agressora. Kto-to prosto zamykalsja v sebe. Vsekh geroev my vidim uzhe v finalakh ikh istorij: posle slozhnykh operatsij i dolgogo vosstanovlenija. - Chto zhdet ikh, kogda oni pokinut steny bolnitsy? - Pochemu v schastlivykh, na pervyj vzgljad, semjakh tsarit takaja beschelovechnost? - Kak ljudi dopuskajut takoe otnoshenie k sebe? Kniga "Bolnaja realnost" - popytka vracha, ezhednevno stalkivajuschegosja s chuzhoj bolju, otvetit na eti neprostye voprosy. "Zhenschiny prodolzhajut stanovitsja zhertvami domashnego nasilija i poluchajut uzhasnye telesnye i psikhicheskie travmy. Chasto prestupniki ostajutsja beznakazannymi, i etu nespravedlivost nevozmozhno terpet. Menja porazhaet beskorystnaja samootdacha vracha-khirurga Ruslana Mellina, kotoryj operiruet i takzhe risuet svoikh patsientov. Takim obrazom zhenschiny vozvraschajut chast svoego dostoinstva, potomu chto eti kartiny ostajutsja v pamjati i javljajutsja preduprezhdeniem.

This captivating autobiography by a Tibetan educator and former political prisoner is full of twists and turns. Born in 1929 in a Tibetan village, Tsering developed a strong dislike of his country's theocratic ruling elite. As a 13-year-old member of the Dalai Lama's personal dance troupe, he was frequently whipped or beaten by teachers for minor infractions. A heterosexual, he escaped by becoming a drombo, or homosexual passive partner and sex-toy, for a well-connected monk. After studying at the University of Washington, he returned to Chinese-occupied Tibet in 1964, convinced that Tibet could become a modernized society based on socialist, egalitarian principles only through cooperation with the Chinese. Denounced as a 'counterrevolutionary' during Mao's Cultural Revolution, he was arrested in 1967 and spent six years in prison or doing forced labor in China. Officially exonerated in 1978, Tsering became a professor of English at Tibet University in Lhasa. He now raises funds to build schools in Tibet's villages, emphasizing Tibetan language and culture.

This is the as-told-to political autobiography of Phuntso Wangye (Phunwang), one of the most important Tibetan revolutionary figures of the twentieth century. Phunwang began his activism in school, where he founded a secret Tibetan Communist Party. He was expelled in 1940, and for the next nine years he worked to organize a guerrilla uprising against the Chinese who controlled his homeland. In 1949, he merged his Tibetan Communist Party with Mao's Chinese Communist Party. He played an important role in the party's administrative organization in Lhasa and was the translator for the young Dalai Lama during his famous 1954-55 meetings with Mao Zedong. In the 1950s, Phunwang was the highest-ranking Tibetan official within the Communist Party in Tibet. Though he was fluent in Chinese, comfortable with Chinese culture, and devoted to socialism and the Communist Party, Phunwang's deep commitment to the welfare of Tibetans made him suspect to powerful Han colleagues. In 1958 he was secretly detained; three years later, he was imprisoned in solitary confinement in Beijing's equivalent of the Bastille for the next eighteen years. Informed by vivid firsthand accounts of the relations between the Dalai Lama, the Nationalist Chinese government, and the People's Republic of China, this absorbing chronicle illuminates one of the world's most tragic and dangerous ethnic conflicts at the same time that it relates the fascinating details of a stormy life spent in the quest for a new Tibet.
Interval Type-3 Fuzzy Systems: Theory and Design

Interval Type-3 Fuzzy Systems: Theory and Design

This book briefly reviews the basic concepts of type-2 fuzzy systems and then describes the proposed definitions for interval type-3 fuzzy sets and relations, also interval type-3 inference and systems. The use of type-2 fuzzy systems has become widespread in the leading economy sectors, especially in industrial and application areas, such as services, health, defense, and so on. However, recently the use of interval type-3 fuzzy systems has been receiving increasing attention and some successful applications have been developed in the last year. These issues were taken into consideration for this book, as we did realize that there was a need to offer the main theoretical concepts of type-3 fuzzy logic, as well as methods to design, develop and implement the type-3 fuzzy systems. A review of basic concepts and their use in the design and implementation of interval type-3 fuzzy systems, which are relatively new models of uncertainty and imprecision, are presented. The main focus of thiswork is based on the basic reasons of the need for interval type-3 fuzzy systems in different areas of application. In addition, we describe methods for designing interval type-3 fuzzy systems and illustrate this with some examples and simulations.

Edge Detection Methods Based on Generalized Type-2 Fuzzy Logic

Edge Detection Methods Based on Generalized Type-2 Fuzzy Logic

In this book four new methods are proposed. In the first method the generalized type-2 fuzzy logic is combined with the morphological gra-dient technique. The second method combines the general type-2 fuzzy systems (GT2 FSs) and the Sobel operator; in the third approach the me-thodology based on Sobel operator and GT2 FSs is improved to be applied on color images. In the fourth approach, we proposed a novel edge detec-tion method where, a digital image is converted a generalized type-2 fuzzy image. In this book it is also included a comparative study of type-1, inter-val type-2 and generalized type-2 fuzzy systems as tools to enhance edge detection in digital images when used in conjunction with the morphologi-cal gradient and the Sobel operator. The proposed generalized type-2 fuzzy edge detection methods were tested with benchmark images and synthetic images, in a grayscale and color format.Another contribution in this book is that the generalized type-2 fuzzy edge detector method is applied in the preprocessing phase of a face rec-ognition system; where the recognition system is based on a monolithic neural network. The aim of this part of the book is to show the advantage of using a generalized type-2 fuzzy edge detector in pattern recognition applications.The main goal of using generalized type-2 fuzzy logic in edge detec-tion applications is to provide them with the ability to handle uncertainty in processing real world images; otherwise, to demonstrate that a GT2 FS has a better performance than the edge detection methods based on type-1 and type-2 fuzzy logic systems.

Magnetic resonance imaging became clinical in 1981 and since that time, has spread in the United States, Europe and Japan like wild fire. The tremendous advantages of the method consisting of safety, superb soft tissue contrast resolution, the ability to study flow, the ability to image in any plane or acquire data in 3D and an almost infinite array of sequences capable of distinguishing between disease and normal tissue, normal and abnormal blood flow make it incomparable for the diagnosis and study of multiple diseases and is particularly valuable in studying the heart and major vessels. The authors of this book have understood that the secret of success of MR imaging in the study of the heart is to combine the knowledge of anatomy of the heart, the coronary vessels, the pericardium and large vessels with the intricacies of MR imaging. This is why they go deeply into the basic principles of NMR, starting from the essentials and going then into detailed techniques of acquiring images from traditional spin echo to gradient echo and ultra fast imaging approaches, such as the multi shot and EPI. The flow phenomena are also discussed in detail from flow and magnetic field gradients diastolic pseudogating.

KÄRLEK. Vem tänker inte på kärlek! Åtminstone ibland. Och i nästan alla åldrar. För kärleken har så många ansikten så många uttryck:Den kan vara vardagligt lugn eller pirrig, het, himlastormande, oroande, sorglig eller rentav förtvivlad. Därför har vi letat fram många olika sorters kärlekstexter till den här boken. Vi har valt dikter av ungdomar såväl som av vuxna Och en hel del prosastycken ur barn- och ungdomsböcker. Kanske är du 10 år eller 13 eller 14,15,16,99. Varsågod. En del passar just dig. En del passar någon annan. Det är det som är meningen.
