Book excerpt: I was once nicknamed by the Daily Lobo, when I ran for the Vice Presidency of the UNM student body on the same ticket as the famous local Homecoming Queen and lesbian, Presidential candidate P.M. "Tuffy Duffy" Ingrassia, as Jeremiah "The Freak" Foley. One of the saving graces of having been a bum hippy, is that although you could get food stamps, free costumes from salvation army and money from student grants and hence, "go to school" for a decade without having to have a full time job or aim, was that you could afford neither a camera or film. As such, there is no such documentation that exists of a rumored, wayward, hitch-hiking, environmental activist, nudist, drug experimenting, psychedelic interior VW bus driving, party going lunatic. Sadly, more recent generations are better documented and hence have no deniability, whereas I have no recollection of any such a vehicle nor does any such proof exist. There is however in existence, a fictional screenplay of such a character that bears no relation to any actual living or dead people and any similarities are coincidental.

Download or read book Troubled Waters written by Patrick Troy and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2008-06-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australian cities have traditionally relied for their water on a 'predict-and-provide' philosophy that gives primacy to big engineering solutions. In more recent years privatised water authorities, seeking to maximise consumption and profits, have reinforced the emphasis on increasing supply. Now the cities must cope with the stresses these policies have imposed on the eco-systems from which they harvest water, into which they discharge wastes, and on which they are located. Residents are having to pay more for their water, while the cities themselves are becoming less sustainable. Must we build more dams and desalination plants, or should we be managing the demand for urban water more prudently? This book explores the demand for urban water and how it has changed in response to shifting social mores over the past century. It explains how demand for centralised provision of water might be reshaped to enable the cities to better cope with expected changes in supply as our climate changes. And it discusses the implications of property rights in water for proposals to privatise water services.
Download or read book Uneasy Alliance written by Hans Bak and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2004 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uneasy Alliance illuminates the recent search in literary studies for a new interface between textual and contextual readings. Written in tribute to G.A.M. Janssens, the twenty-one essays in the volume exemplify a renewed awareness of the paradoxical nature of literary texts both as works of literary art and as documents embedded in and functioning within a writer's life and culture. Together they offer fresh and often interdisciplinary perspectives on twentieth-century American writers of more or less established status (Henry James, Edna St. Vincent Millay, E.E. Cummings, Vladimir Nabokov, Flannery O'Connor, Saul Bellow, Michael Ondaatje, Toni Morrison and Sandra Cisneros) as well as on those who, for reasons of fashion, politics, ideology, or gender, have been unduly neglected (Booth Tarkington, Julia Peterkin, Robert Coates, Martha Gellhorn, Isabella Gardner, Karl Shapiro, the young Jewish-American writers, Julia Alvarez, and writers of popular crime and detective fiction). Exploring the fruitful interactions and uneasy alliance between literature and ethics, film, biography, gender studies, popular culture, avant-garde art, urban studies, anthropology and multicultural studies, together these essays testify to the ongoing pertinence of an approach to literature that is undogmatic, sensitive and sophisticated and that seeks to do justice to the complex interweavings of literature, culture and biography in twentieth-century American writing.

Book excerpt: Restless: “Time for Sail” By: J.W. Paisley In 1896, a young boy, Thomas Paisley, leaves his English farm at age fifteen for an adventurous, albeit dangerous, life at sea. He gives up his inheritance as the oldest son to follow his dream, as his restless nature dictated, defying the advice of his older and more experienced parents. Through his adventures he befriends another boy from a far different background, but their friendship blooms through shared hardship and often deadly experiences. The “ever-changing sameness” of the sea reflects the ever-changing sameness of life. The more things change, the more things stay the same.
Download or read book Beyond the Troubled Water of Shifei written by Lin Ma and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, a growing concern in studies in Chinese intellectual history is that Chinese classics have been forced into systems of classification prevalent in Western philosophy and thus imperceptibly transformed into examples that echo Western philosophy. Lin Ma and Jaap van Brakel offer a methodology to counter this approach, and illustrate their method by carrying out a transcultural inquiry into the complexities involved in understanding shi and fei and their cognate phrases in the Warring States texts, the Zhuangzi in particular. The authors discuss important features of Zhuangzi's stance with regard to language-meaning, knowledge-doubt, questioning, equalizing, and his well-known deconstruction of the discourse in ancient China on shifei. Ma and van Brakel suggest that shi and fei apply to both descriptive and prescriptive languages and do not presuppose any fact/value dichotomy, and thus cannot be translated as either true/false or right/wrong. Instead, shi and fei can be grasped in terms of a pre-philosophical notion of fitting. Ma and van Brakel also highlight Zhuangzi's idea of "walking-two-roads" as the most significant component of his stance. In addition, they argue that all of Zhuangzi's positive recommendations are presented in a language whose meaning is not fixed and that every stance he is committed to remains subject to fundamental questioning as a way of life.

Download or read book Troubled Memory Second Edition written by Lawrence N. Powell and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2019-01-09 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This powerful book tells the story of Anne Skorecki Levy, a Holocaust survivor who transformed the horrors of her childhood into a passionate mission to defeat the political menace of reputed neo-Nazi and Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. The first book to connect the prewar and wartime experiences of Jewish survivors to the lives they subsequently made for themselves in the United States, Troubled Memory is also a dramatic testament to how the experiences of survivors as new Americans spurred their willingness to bear witness. Perhaps the only family to survive the liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto as a group, the Skoreckis evaded deportation to Treblinka by posing as Aryans. The family eventually made their way to New Orleans, where they became part of a vibrant Jewish community. Lawrence Powell traces their dramatic odyssey and explores the events that eventually triggered Anne Skorecki Levy's brave decision to honor the suffering of the past by confronting the recurring specter of racist hatred.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because literature needed to be extended across oceans, over mountaintop heights and/or valley lows by our ancestors, a bridge was assembled to link the messages through poetry to the masses by networking one to another. It interconnected the past to the present and together, the bond operates as a linkage toward the future. Their device was genius and the dialect was sheer brilliance. A bridge over troubled water served our ancestors purpose of preserving the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Download or read book Classic graph problems made temporal a parameterized complexity analysis written by Molter, Hendrik and published by Universitätsverlag der TU Berlin. This book was released on 2020 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates the parameterized computational complexity of six classic graph problems lifted to a temporal setting. More specifically, we consider problems defined on temporal graphs, that is, a graph where the edge set may change over a discrete time interval, while the vertex set remains unchanged. Temporal graphs are well-suited to model dynamic data and hence they are naturally motivated in contexts where dynamic changes or time-dependent interactions play an important role, such as, for example, communication networks, social networks, or physical proximity networks. The most important selection criteria for our problems was that they are well-motivated in the context of dynamic data analysis. Since temporal graphs are mathematically more complex than static graphs, it is maybe not surprising that all problems we consider in this thesis are NP-hard. We focus on the development of exact algorithms, where our goal is to obtain fixed-parameter tractability results, and refined computational hardness reductions that either show NP-hardness for very restricted input instances or parameterized hardness with respect to “large” parameters. In the context of temporal graphs, we mostly consider structural parameters of the underlying graph, that is, the graph obtained by ignoring all time information. However, we also consider parameters of other types, such as ones trying to measure how fast the temporal graph changes over time. In the following we briefly discuss the problem setting and the main results. Restless Temporal Paths. A path in a temporal graph has to respect causality, or time, which means that the edges used by a temporal path have to appear at non-decreasing times. We investigate temporal paths that additionally have a maximum waiting time in every vertex of the temporal graph. Our main contributions are establishing NP-hardness for the problem of finding restless temporal paths even in very restricted cases, and showing W[1]-hardness with respect to the feedback vertex number of the underlying graph. Temporal Separators. A temporal separator is a vertex set that, when removed from the temporal graph, destroys all temporal paths between two dedicated vertices. Our contribution here is twofold: Firstly, we investigate the computational complexity of finding temporal separators in temporal unit interval graphs, a generalization of unit interval graphs to the temporal setting. We show that the problem is NP-hard on temporal unit interval graphs but we identify an additional restriction which makes the problem solvable in polynomial time. We use the latter result to develop a fixed-parameter algorithm with a “distance-to-triviality” parameterization. Secondly, we show that finding temporal separators that destroy all restless temporal paths is Σ-P-2-hard. Temporal Matchings. We introduce a model for matchings in temporal graphs, where, if two vertices are matched at some point in time, then they have to “recharge” afterwards, meaning that they cannot be matched again for a certain number of time steps. In our main result we employ temporal line graphs to show that finding matchings is NP-hard even on instances where the underlying graph is a path. Temporal Coloring. We lift the classic graph coloring problem to the temporal setting. In our model, every edge has to be colored properly (that is,the endpoints are colored differently) at least once in every time interval of a certain length. We show that this problem is NP-hard in very restricted cases, even if we only have two colors. We present simple exponential-time algorithms to solve this problem. As a main contribution, we show that these algorithms presumably cannot be improved significantly. Temporal Cliques and s-Plexes. We propose a model for temporal s-plexes that is a canonical generalization of an existing model for temporal cliques. Our main contribution is a fixed-parameter algorithm that enumerates all maximal temporal s-plexes in a given temporal graph, where we use a temporal adaptation of degeneracy as a parameter. Temporal Cluster Editing. We present a model for cluster editing in temporal graphs, where we want to edit all “layers” of a temporal graph into cluster graphs that are sufficiently similar. Our main contribution is a fixed-parameter algorithm with respect to the parameter “number of edge modifications” plus the “measure of similarity” of the resulting clusterings. We further show that there is an efficient preprocessing procedure that can provably reduce the size of the input instance to be independent of the number of vertices of the original input instance.
Download or read book Restless written by David J. Gillard and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-01-06 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do many popular songs positively reference God if our culture is widely viewed as secular? Why is it a challenge to tell the Christian story when many say they are spiritual and believe in God? Why do we draw so much meaning from the popular songs we listen to? And might a deeper understanding of popular-music culture help us to explore the bigger stories we listen to throughout our lives, such as the Christian story? Primarily using Zygmunt Bauman's understanding of "liquid modernity" we look at the social forces that shape Western society and consider why, while many are looking for "authentic," ontologically based stories to understand their life experiences, historic providers of the big stories that shape our lives, such as the church, favor a different, epistemological way of telling them. How do these different approaches to storytelling affect their reception and what insight might we draw from that? Whilst this book is written primarily with those in Christian ministry in mind, it will be of interest, too, to those who use music to explore life experiences through their work, who are interested in the social forces that shape society, or who simply enjoy listening to popular music.
