It seemed Ponchitta Pierce had everything--an apartment in midtown Manhattan, a television show, editorial assignments for a wide variety of U.S. magazines, and a significant relationship. But despite her full life, something was missing. One day, while walking down Lexington Avenue, she did an about-turn when she saw a buff Cocker Spaniel with liquid brown eyes, gazing at her through the window of a pet store. That was it. She was missing puppy love

That was it. She was missing puppy love In this heartfelt story of the love between a sly, clever dog and a very busy journalist, Ponchitta includes important, well-researched advice on raising a dog tackling everything from training, feeding and looking after a puppy to handling medical situations insurance, aging, and, ultimately the grieving process.
Although there have been substantial contributions to Chicana literature and criticism over the past few decades, Chicanas are still underrepresented and underappreciated in the mainstream literary world and virtually nonexistent in the canon. Writers like Sandra Cisneros, Ana Castillo, and Gloria Anzaldúa have managed to find larger audiences and critical respect, but there are legions of Chicana writers and artists who have been marginalized and ignored despite their talent. Even in Chicano anthologies, the focus has tended to be more on male writers. Chicanas have often found themselves without a real home in the academic world. Tey Diana Rebolledo has been writing about Chicana/Latina identity, literature, discrimination, and feminism for more than two decades. In this collection of essays, she brings together both old and new works to give a state-of-the-moment look at the still largely unanswered questions raised by vigilant women of color throughout the last half of the twentieth century. An intimate introductory essay about Rebolledo's personal experiences as the daughter of a Mexican mother and a Peruvian father serves to lay the groundwork for the rest of the volume. The essays delve into the historical development of Chicana writing and its early narratives, the representation of Chicanas as seen on book covers, Chicana feminism, being a Chicana critic in the academy, Chicana art history, and Chicana creativity. Rebolledo encourages "guerrillera" warfare against academia in order to open up the literary canon to Chicana/Latina writers who deserve validation.

Vsjo nachinaetsja s pokhischenija... Net, vsjo nachinaetsja namnogo ranshe, - kogda druzja ponimajut, chto gotovy k nastojaschemu podvigu. Gordyj brodjachij kot Chemodante, khrabraja sobachka Chi i dobrejshij poni Ponchik, - s nimi vsjo vremja proiskhodjat udivitelnye istorii, no na etot raz vsjo serjozno. Posle zakrytija konnoj shkoly Ponchik popadaet v ruki muchitelja Artishoka, zlogo klouna, kotoryj pytaet zhivotnykh radi zrelischnykh tsirkovykh nomerov. Razve mozhno brosit druga v bede? Ni v koem sluchae! Chemodante i Chi gotovy na vsjo radi spasenija Ponchika. O gerojakh slagajut legendy i snimajut filmy, i my s radostju priglashaem chitatelej na premeru "Prikljuchenij Chemodante, Chi-Beretty i Ponchika"! Elena Zaslavskaja - pisatel, poet, zhurnalist iz Luganska. V 2014 godu ejo skazka stala pobeditelem mezhdunarodnoj "Kornejchukovskoj premii", ezhegodno prisuzhdaemoj v Odesse.

The ancient historians considered the Assyrian empire the crucial starting point of a new political system which was adopted by later empires. In modern historical research, this problem still needs to be investigated in a global perspective that studies the development of the imperial model through ages. Abundant epigraphical and archaeological sources can be used in investigating the expansionistic tacticts, the control structures, and the administrative procedures implemented by the Assyrians through a continuous effort of adaptation to evolving situations and changing needs. The book provides an updated outline of the history of the Assyrian empire and its neighbours, a detailed analysis of the technical and ideological aspects of the construction of the Assyrian empire, and of its long-lasting legacy in the Near East and in the West. For its broad theoretical framework, which includes the reference to studies of ancient and modern empires and imperialism, the book is intended not only for the specialists of Ancient Near Eastern history, but also for a wider public of Classical and Medieval historians and of historians interested in world and global history.
by Simonetta Ponchia and Mikko Luukko State Archives of Assyria Cuneiform Texts - SAACT 8Neo-Assyrian Text Corpus Project - NATCP, 2013 The Myth of Nergal and Ereškigal, preserved in two versions, a Middle-Babylonian one from Tell el-Amarna and a much longer Standard Babylonian one probably composed in Assyria in the early first millennium BCE, tells the story of why and how Nergal, son of Ea, the god of wisdom, descended into the Netherworld by the “ladders of heaven,” fell in love with Ereškigal, queen of the Netherworld, and eventually deposed her and usurped her throne. Like all Mesopotamian myths, the story is replete with enigmatic details, puns and intertextual allusions making it a heavily encoded text with hidden levels of interpretation. In allegorical reading, the myth was a complement to the Descent of Ištar (SAACT 6), and the mission of Nergal could be associated with that of the king as a heavenly savior sent to the rescue of the sinners.This volume provides an in-depth analysis of the myth and the most complete reconstruction of the Standard Babylonian version yet presented. The reconstructed text is given both in cuneiform and in up-to-date transliteration and translation, complete with a critical apparatus, philological commentary, and a full glossary and sign list. The Introduction also contains an edition and discussion of the Amarna version and an extensive study of the god Nergal in Assyrian sources. Ideal both as a textbook for classroom use and as a resource for non-Assyriologists wishing to study the myth first-hand.Publisher: Neo-Assyrian Text Corpus Project - NATCPPublication date: 2013Bibliographic info: 192 pagesLanguage(s): EnglishCover: PaperISBN: 952-10-1342-7ISBN13: 978-952-10-1342-3
Con l'avvento delle tecnologie abilitanti in ambito Industria 4.0, la sensoristica si imposta come uno strumento essenziale nella ricerca accademica e industriale e nel rilevamento in ambiti sensibili come la lotta contro i virus e le malattie infettive. Il workshop svoltosi il 24 marzo 2021 sulla piattaforma Spring Nature dal titolo Cutting-Edge (Bio)sensing Technologies for Fighting Infectious Deseases la prova dell' interesse mondiale che suscita questo argomento. La tematica, difatti, affrontata in un'ottica multidisciplinare, rappresenta un punto di forza proprio sull'uso di una tecnologia sempre pi avanzata e poliedrica, il cui uso sta portando dei benefici inconfutabili in svariati ambiti. Pensiamo all' integrazione dei sensori con l' intelligenza artificiale e il machine-learning, quindi il rilevamento di dati della loro elaborazione e interpretazione e dai quali la stessa macchina sar in grado di prendere autonomamente delle decisioni. Insomma, ci troviamo di fronte a una rivoluzione copernicana in grado di portare nel minor tempo possibile risultati concreti nei pi disparati settori della ricerca.
