"A stereotype of computer science textbooks is that they are dry, boring, and sometimes even intimidating. As a result, they turn students’ interests off from the subject matter instead of enticing them into it. This textbook is the opposite of such a stereotype. The author presents the subject matter in a refreshing story-telling style and aims to bring the Internet-generation of students closer to her stories." --Yingcai Xiao, The University of AkronIntroduction to Middleware: Web Services, Object Components, and Cloud Computing provides a comparison of different middleware technologies and the overarching middleware concepts they are based on. The various major paradigms of middleware are introduced and their pros and cons are discussed. This includes modern cloud interfaces, including the utility of Service Oriented Architectures. The text discusses pros and cons of RESTful vs. non-RESTful web services, and also compares these to older but still heavily used distributed object/component middleware. The text guides readers to select an appropriate middleware technology to use for any given task, and to learn new middleware technologies as they appear over time without being greatly overwhelmed by any new concept. The book begins with an introduction to different distributed computing paradigms, and a review of the different kinds of architectures, architectural styles/patterns, and properties that various researchers have used in the past to examine distributed applications and determine the quality of distributed applications. Then it includes appropriate background material in networking and the web, security, and encoding necessary to understand detailed discussion in this area. The major middleware paradigms are compared, and a comparison methodology is developed. Readers will learn how to select a paradigm and technology for a particular task, after reading this text.Detailed middleware technology review sections allow students or industry practitioners working to expand their knowledge to achieve practical skills based on real projects so as to become well-functional in that technology in industry. Major technologies examined include: RESTful web services (RESTful cloud interfaces such as OpenStack, AWS EC2 interface, CloudStack; AJAX, JAX-RS, ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET Core), non-RESTful (SOAP and WSDL-based) web services (JAX-WS, Windows Communication Foundation), distributed objects/ components (Enterprise Java Beans, .NET Remoting, CORBA).The book presents two projects that can be used to illustrate the practical use of middleware, and provides implementations of these projects over different technologies.This versatile and class-tested textbook is suitable (depending on chapters selected) for undergraduate or first-year graduate courses on client server architectures, middleware, and cloud computing, web services, and web programming.

You have to be the biggest and best to stand out. At least, that's what our culture seems to believe. However, as psychologist Dr. Leia Hughey points out, we are all special and deserving of love, even if we are nothing special. Through the nonverbal communication from an ordinary horse, she and others were able to reveal unhealed psychic wounds and provide a context for change and transformation. Just people and horses. Nothing special, really, but what a difference it made. A pristine beauty exists slightly beneath the surface of our perception and can be found when love is recognized in the ordinary, enjoying one another for no particular reason. In this book, you will see how interpersonal, interspecies interactions changed the world for a handful of people. ""Leia's personal account of her growing collaboration with horses in offering psychotherapeutic counseling to her patients is indeed special. Her developing capacity to listen and learn from these four-legged sentient beings and their seemingly deliberate interactions with her clients reveals heightened intuitive skill. Mutual benefits are the result. The reader is offered clues and case accounts in the realm of equine facilitated psychotherapy. Prepare for a good read."" --Barbara K. Rector, Equine Director, Hacienda at the River in Tucson ""Nothing Special beautifully captures the essence of Leia's human need to socially interact, to be heard, to be seen, and to be understood. Dr. Hughey intertwines real life experiences with recommendations for the field that call for existential sensitivity, respect, and timely interventions outside of the context of traditional talk therapy methods. For Leia, horse and human connection initiated a deep-seated, soul-healing process that restored her relationship with 'self, ' 'other, ' and God."" --Gene M. James, Associate Professor, Northwest Christian University Leia Hughey earned her Ph.D. from Georgia State University in general clinical psychology, after which she served a one-year internship at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Atlanta, Georgia. Following completion of her internship her family relocated to the Willamette Valley in Oregon where she opened a private practice serving adults, children and families. Her two school age sons developed an interest in horses propelling Dr. Hughey to become a horse owner for the first time at the age of forty-two. Soon after the first horse arrived, Dr. Hughey and her sons adopted a few more horses and opened a small business called, ""Horse Rides for Kids"". She quickly recognized the therapeutic impact these animals were having on the people with whom they interacted. She eventually sought out specialized training for equine facilitated psychotherapy. Dr. Hughey and her husband operate a program known as HorsePower in conjunction with their semi-rural clinical practice.
Regarded as one of Sand's best novels, Lélia is an important document in the evolution of women's consciousness. Published in 1833, when Sand was 29, it stunned Victorians by advocating the same standard of morality for men and women and by suggesting that both the prostitute and the married woman were slaves to male desire. Sand also questioned monogamy, fidelity, and monastic celibacy. She later made an unsuccessful attempt to revise the book and to expunge its despair and skepticism. Although Sand wrote copiously, until recently only a handful of her books were available in English. This first English translation of Lélia is an excellent rendering, capturing the raptures, the mysticism, and the nineteenth-century flavor ot its eternally fascinating subject.

Lelia's Kiss analyzes gender roles, sexuality, and marriage in the Italian Renaissance through the lens of a large number of comedies from the period, ranging well beyond the traditional canon. Focusing on the social and cultural scripts found within these comedies, Laura Giannetti offers a new perspective on the way gender and marriage were portrayed, imagined, and critiqued on stage during the Italian Renaissance. Giannetti argues that these Renaissance plays created an often humorous dialogue with the presuppositions of their day, engaging with contemporary social norms, expectations and desires. The actions and choices of cross-dressing female and male characters challenged standard discourse and illustrated how masculinity and femininity was socially and culturally constructed. By examining representations of gender and marriage onstage, Lelia's Kiss demonstrates that Renaissance comedies not only reflected and commented on the everyday life of the time, but also interacted with it, exercising playful humour and revealing insight.
Mi contacto con el mundo de la prensa escrita tuvo un origen circunstancial. Corr a el inicio de 1989 y, con una diferencia temporal de dos meses, dir a casi sin soluci n de continuidad, gan dos importantes cert menes literarios. El primero, el Premio Nacional de Relatos Ciudad de Algeciras, merced al op sculo " La del Alba ser a..."; el segundo, el Premio Andaluc a de Novela -convocado por Espasa Calpe-, con mi primera novela "La Luna Blanca de Chesed". Pocos meses antes, hab a publicado mi pera prima " Relatos Heterodoxos", de la mano de "Cuadernos de Al-Andalus", una peque a editorial que, dirigida por Domingo Fa lde, ten a su sede en la librer a "El Libro T cnico" de Algeciras, asimismo ateneo espor dico de los miembros del potente y numeroso grupo literario algecire o de la poca. En el seno de aquel magma cultural, naci todo. Llevaba ya algo m s de dos a os edit ndose "Europa Sur" -peri dico del grupo Jol , del que era Redactor Jefe nuestro cofrade Juan Jos T llez-, cuando, de la mano del mencionado Fa lde ( amigo, inquieto promotor cultural y mejor poeta) me vi en labores de articulista ( bajo el seud nimo Polifemo, secci n "El ojo del c clope") entre las p ginas de "La Isla", Revista Cultural del diario; aunque en origen, el seud nimo tuvo intencionalidad de ser usado colectivamente por algunos de los miembros del grupo, finalmente, acabar a adopt ndolo en exclusiva. Paralelamente, en alguna ocasi n puntual, sustitu la columna por alg n trabajo mas consistente y divulgativo, como fue el caso de " 101 a os de horror", coincidente con el centenario del nacimiento de Lovecraf y dedicado tanto a su memoria como a la del grupo de escritores reunidos en torno al fen meno literario de " Los Mitos de Cthultu". Desgraciadamente, mi implicaci n en aquella aventura acabar a siendo ef mera, ya que, por mor de un traslado profesional, dej mi C tedra de Matem ticas del entonces Instituto Mixto 2 (antiguo femenino) de Algeciras, para ocupar la misma plaza en el Instituto de Bachillerato a Distancia de Sevilla, que por entonces ten a su sede en la extinta Universidad Laboral, campus actual de la Universidad Pablo de Olavide. La siguiente etapa fue necesariamente breve y, de nuevo, circunstancial. Sin ayudas pol ticas ni institucionales, se inici una atrevida aventura editorial en tierras del And valo en forma de peri dico comarcal, con periodicidad primero quincenal y luego mensual. De la mano de Jos Domingo Mora -con nulas perspectivas econ micas y de difusi n, lo que la hac a absolutamente vulnerable- hab a nacido "La Villa", en la que pronto me vi colaborando (como en todos los casos anteriores y posteriores, de forma altruista) por mi implicaci n con la tierra que me vio nacer. Mis trabajos se produjeron de forma espor dica, y casi siempre en alg n tema local que interesaba al paisanaje, a quien consideraba necesario ilustrar con la precisi n de los datos y argumentos.La ltima etapa - breve, por necesidad, pero intens sima en su desarrollo- la constituy mi colaboraci n con "Huelva Noticias", separata del diario nacional "El Mundo". De colaboraciones iniciales en la secci n "Tribuna Libre", pas en cuesti n de meses a ocupar la tercera p gina con la columna semanal " El Rinc n del Fraile", en la que mi alter ego Fray Gerundio de la Carcoma pasaba mordaz revista a temas locales, provinciales e incluso nacionales. De la frescura de aquellas columnas da fe la validez y permanencia de muchas de las opiniones e ideas expresadas. Junto a ellas los temas de pol tica local y provincial fueron escudri ados por el inmisericorde fraile escondido en su virtual convento andevale o, lo que acabar a acarre ndome no pocos detractores -cuando no enemigos- entre la clase pol tica local y provincial.
Leia Gregory spends her lazy summers helping out her mom in the animal hospital in the barn, and dreaming in the big apple tree at the end of the orchard on her rural Ontario farm. But she dreams of adventure: could she be a secret agent, or princess, or travel to far-off worlds? It seems like a crazy idea-until a ship from another world crashes right at her feet. On board are the Princess of Syltasia, a far-away planet, her guardian Colin, a petulant ti-cat called Bast, and K.E.L.I., the "kinetic electronic logical interface" who helps fly the ship. Soon, Leia is off to Mars on an adventure that will change her life-and teach her a thing or two about bravery, Earth folk-wisdom, and the intriguing secrets hidden in her very own family With an afterword by Andrew Rader, Ph.D, real-life Aerospace Engineer and author of Leaving Earth: Why One Way to Mars Makes Sense.
