Histories of Perplexity

Histories of Perplexity

By combining chronological coverage, analytical breadth, and interdisciplinary approaches, these two volumes—Histories of Solitude and Histories of Perplexity—study the histories of Colombia over the past two centuries as illustrations of the histories of democracy across the Americas. The volumes bring together over 40 scholars based in Colombia, the United States, England, and Canada working in various disciplines to discuss how a country that has been consistently presented as a rarity in Latin America provides critical examples to re-examine major historical problems: republicanism and liberalism; export economies and agrarian modernization; populism and cultural politics of state formation; revolutionary and counterinsurgent Cold War violence; neoliberal reforms and urban development; popular mobilization and counterhegemonic public spheres; political ecologies and environmental struggles; and labors of memory and the challenge of reconciliation. Contributors are sensitive to questions of subjectivity and discourse, observant of ethnographic details and micro-politics, and attuned to macro-perspectives such as transnational and global histories. These volumes offer fresh perspectives on Colombia and will be of great value to those interested in Latin American and Caribbean history.

Pauline's Perils of Perplexity is a campy comedy for the Young Adult/New Age Adult (16 to 23 years of age) written in the style of another campy comedy "The Perils of Pauline". Don't worry teens that chances are you've never read the old 1914, "The Perils of Pauline" melodrama. My melodramatic novel is set in the modern pre-internet, pre-cell phone era of the 1980's, your parents', or maybe even your grandparents' time period. You will enjoy this coming of age story just as much, even if you have never read the original. Like yourself, you will follow Pauline learning to accept and embrace her life, even if her career, and her love life doesn't always work out as planned. Join Pauline, and her undercover love interest, Matt search for clues to solve the Post Office mystery with plenty of humor along the way. Join the duo for their search for answers to life's perplexing issues while they confront their anxieties, hopes, and plans for the future in LS Wagen's campy comedy, Pauline's Perils of Perplexity.

This is a book of poetry, of course, however unlike most anthologies this is no collection of words merely orchestrated together to form some sort of elaborate fixation with a character. This anthology is different for a couple of reasons, one being that I am no poet. I am merely a reader, much like yourselves. Another reason is because this is a story about my own experiences with things of the unknown, things that we all experience such as love, heartbreak, fear of the abyss, even if we do not always acknowledge the fear that is undeniably a symptom of our own beliefs, or for some the lack of. This is no read of answers, but a read of question, and with this comes the knowledge of perplexion.My name is Stephen Buras. I am no poet, nor scholar. I am a musician with my head in the clouds, both metaphorically and physically on occasion, because I'm also a pilot. I'm a boy on the brink of man hood, I guess you could say, although I'm not entirely sure if I'm ready to grow old. I was born in a small town, in which nothing ever really seemed to happen. I have written this book for the simple reason that if I do ever grow to be old and grey, I really wouldn't mind for a portion of the world to know my name. I will not tell anyone the true meaning within these pages, although if you do manage to put the pieces of the puzzle together, I do hope you realize that perplexion is an art form and with it you will find the answers that you seek. Curiosity killed the cat, although the caged bird still sings.

"Give thanks to YHWH, for he is good, for his covenant faithfulness endures for ever" (Ps 136:1).There are now numerous models that seek to explain how the biblical covenants relate to one another. In an attempt to evaluate these models, James Hely Hutchinson mines the rich seams of the book of Psalms in this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume.After covering the key data on covenant relationships in Books 1-3 of the psalter, Hutchinson considers the perplexity expressed in the pivotal Psalm 89: in the face of the exile, the promises to David appear to be null and void. The building blocks of the solution lie with the first five books of the Bible, chiefly with the inviolable character of the promises to Abraham. However, if the Abrahamic covenant is to reach fulfilment, the problem of sin must be dealt with once and for all, and a glorious new-covenant regime must be established in which a host of covenants converge in their fulfilment. Central to this regime, which lies beyond the exile, is the eternal rule of David's superior, righteous seed and son who is also a perpetual priest and a suffering servant.Identifying new-covenant newness as "eschatological satisfaction (fulfilment)" and "transcendent inauguration," Hutchinson tackles a range of matters that contribute to our understanding of the contours of redemptive history, with the overall aim to enhance readers' grasp of God's breathtaking salvation plan, ability to handle Scripture aright, and worship of the Master.Addressing key issues in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in Biblical Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better understand their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson and Benjamin L. Gladd, aiming to simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with current scholarship and to point the way ahead.

Colloquies are informal discussions amongst friends and colleagues. This format permits the easy flow of discussion, usually polite, from member to member. The reader's perspective is that of a listener; one who overhears, one invited to attend the discussion, perhaps one interested in the subject and who might very well form or compare his or her own ideas with those discussed. For example, several participants, each adding more ideas, discuss the perplexing situation of the Biblical Joseph regarding the pregnancy of his betrothed Mary. What is he to do about her? And what about Mary's attitude about her pregnancy? Why does she not protest it? Why does she keep it a secret from her betrothed?About the AuthorH. G. Hastings-Duffield I is a retired Professor Emeritus from Central Michigan University. His academic bailiwicks were aesthetics and literary criticism. He has published over twenty books on the Christian religion, American society and greatness, several novels, the American Shakers (of whom he is a scholar), and several biographies. His most recent book is The American Shakers (1774-2018), Verging on Extinction. He is currently working on a volume titled Paradise Lost But Forever?, about humanity's continual quest for a better society - a utopia--beginning with the Biblical Garden of Eden and concluding with the U. S. A., the would-be utopia designed by the Grand Patriots in the eighteenth century, but which has sullied its promise of perfection too many times, thus causing its decline towards dystopia.

‘Give thanks to YHWH, for he is good, for his covenant faithfulness endures for ever’ (Ps. 136:1; a.t.) There are now numerous models that seek to explain how the biblical covenants relate to one another. In an attempt to evaluate these models, James Hely Hutchinson mines the rich seams of the book of Psalms. After covering the key data on covenant relationships in Books 1–3 of the psalter, Hely Hutchinson considers the perplexity expressed in the pivotal Psalm 89: in the face of the exile, the promises to David appear to be null and void. The building blocks of the response lie with the first five books of the Bible, and chiefly with the inviolable character of the promises to Abraham (Book 4 of the psalter). However, if the Abrahamic covenant is to reach fulfilment, the problem of sin must be dealt with once and for all, and a glorious new-covenant regime must be established in which a host of covenants converge in their fulfilment. Central to this regime, which lies beyond the exile, is the eternal rule of David’s superior, righteous seed and son who is also a perpetual priest and a suffering servant (Book 5). Identifying new-covenant newness as ‘eschatological satisfaction (fulfilment)’ and ‘transcendent inauguration’, Hely Hutchinson tackles a range of matters that contribute to our understanding of the contours of redemptive history. The overall aim is to enhance readers’ grasp of God’s breath-taking salvation plan, ability to handle Scripture aright and worship of the Master.

A malevolent spirit is on the loose, striking them down one by one. Which of them will be next?Press-man Freddy Pilkington-Soames was backstage at the Jollity on the night Septimus died. He doesn't believe in ghosts, but he knows a suspicious death when he sees one-and when a third person dies there's no doubt this time that a human hand was behind it.Freddy's fending off the attentions of several chorus-girls at once, so has his own distractions to contend with. But murder's no joke, and he'll do anything he can to catch the killer before the whole production falls apart.After all, the show must go on.

Comparison of ChatGPT and Perplexity outputs for a fiction writing task and a factual research task
Which chatbot can help me the fastest and best? This question was explored in a brief experiment with two tasks each for ChatGPT (chatgpt.com) and Perplexity (perplexity.ai). Both chatbots were given identical tasks and the results were then compared. The two tasks were chosen to be as different as possible. The first task was to write a short fiction story. The second task consisted of factual research on a bioscientific-medical topic. The different outputs of ChatGPT and Perplexity for the identical tasks were compared to determine the best chatbot for each task and the intended purpose. Translated outputs as well as original outputs (in German) from ChatGPT and Perplexity are included.

”Managing Complexity, Reducing Perplexity” is devoted to an overview of the status of the art in the study of complex systems, with particular focus on the analysis of systems pertaining to living matter. Both senior scientists and young researchers from diverse and prestigious institutions with a deliberately interdisciplinary cut were invited, in order to compare approaches and problems from different disciplines. The common aim of the contributions was to analyze the complexity of living systems by means of new mathematical paradigms that are more adherent to reality and which are able to generate both exploratory and predictive models that are capable of achieving a deeper insight into life science phenomena.
