Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The return of Christ for his church is just a whisper away, but there are still a few who are willing to believe the gospel, and Roger Converse is one of them. Catapulted to prominence when the surveillance company where he works discovers his past military talents, Roger becomes a key player. Trained in Special Ops for military intelligence, he soon finds himself in the middle of an elaborate scheme to introduce world peace. In possession of elitist information, Roger begins to struggle with the claims of Christianity, while a tangled web of coincidence usually reserved only for conspiracy theory now becomes rational policy. His life depends on where he places his trust as he sees a darker side to the utopian peace about to be introduced.
Download or read book OmeGA written by Dimitri Knjazew and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: OmeGA: A Competent Genetic Algorithm for Solving Permutation and Scheduling Problems addresses two increasingly important areas in GA implementation and practice. OmeGA, or the ordering messy genetic algorithm, combines some of the latest in competent GA technology to solve scheduling and other permutation problems. Competent GAs are those designed for principled solutions of hard problems, quickly, reliably, and accurately. Permutation and scheduling problems are difficult combinatorial optimization problems with commercial import across a variety of industries. This book approaches both subjects systematically and clearly. The first part of the book presents the clearest description of messy GAs written to date along with an innovative adaptation of the method to ordering problems. The second part of the book investigates the algorithm on boundedly difficult test functions, showing principled scale up as problems become harder and longer. Finally, the book applies the algorithm to a test function drawn from the literature of scheduling.
Download or read book ETERNAL LIFE written by John O'Loughlin and published by Centretruths Digital Media. This book was released on 2022-03-24 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cryptically subtitled 'Supernotes from Beyond', ETERNAL LIFE is by any standards a substantial compilation of essayistic aphorisms which cycle, or pass through several turns of the spiral of metaphysical ascension, on their otherworldly way towards philosophical perfection (theosophy), always with a view to advancing and enhancing the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism. With a full quadruplicity of Elemental postulates, that is, fire, water, vegetation (earth) and air, few contexts evade a thoroughgoing critique of their respective components, whether in relation to space, time, volume, or mass, but continue to portend the possibility of definitive presentation.

Download or read book Office Automation written by D. Tsichritzis and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term "Office Automation" implies much and means little. The word "Office" is usually reserved for units in an organization that have a rather general function. They are supposed to support different activities, but it is notoriously difficult to determine what an office is supposed to do. Automation in this loose context may mean many different things. At one extreme, it is nothing more than giving people better tools than typewriters and telephones with which to do their work more efficiently and effectively. At the opposite extreme, it implies the replacement of people by machines which perform office procedures automatically. In this book we will take the approach that "Office Automation" is much more than just better tools, but falls significantly short of replacing every person in an office. It may reduce the need for clerks, it may take over some secretarial functions, and it may lessen the dependence of principals on support personnel. Office Automation will change the office environment. It will eliminate the more mundane and well understood functions and will highlight the decision-oriented activities in an office. The goal of this book is to provide some understanding of office . activities and to evaluate the potential of Office Information Systems for office procedure automation. To achieve this goal, we need to explore concepts, elaborate on techniques, and outline tools.

This book was released on 2000-09-30 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Semantic Models for Multimedia Database Searching and Browsing begins with the introduction of multimedia information applications, the need for the development of the multimedia database management systems (MDBMSs), and the important issues and challenges of multimedia systems. The temporal relations, the spatial relations, the spatio-temporal relations, and several semantic models for multimedia information systems are also introduced. In addition, this book discusses recent advances in multimedia database searching and multimedia database browsing. More specifically, issues such as image/video segmentation, motion detection, object tracking, object recognition, knowledge-based event modeling, content-based retrieval, and key frame selections are presented for the first time in a single book. Two case studies consisting of two semantic models are included in the book to illustrate how to use semantic models to design multimedia information systems. Semantic Models for Multimedia Database Searching and Browsing is an excellent reference and can be used in advanced level courses for researchers, scientists, industry professionals, software engineers, students, and general readers who are interested in the issues, challenges, and ideas underlying the current practice of multimedia presentation, multimedia database searching, and multimedia browsing in multimedia information systems.

Download or read book Grammar Uses Version updated written by Gary Gallant and published by Christian Classics Reproductions. This book was released on 2021-12-21 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This translation stems from 30 years of dedication. The source of this translation is the BYZ (Majority Text). We have included variant readings from the Textus Receptus. A better understanding of typing skills is employed to highlight grammar nuances: underlining is used to show the main thought of the writer, bold to emphasize the first word in the sentence, and italics to indicate words not present in the Greek text but are added for better reading. Words in parentheses (brackets) denote prepositions in the Greek text. When referring to God, Christ, or the Holy Spirit, pronouns will be capitalized. While Greek is a participle-rich language, this translation will provide only one usage, but the notes will mention other possible translations to offer further alternatives. Nouns and adjectives: Nominatives serve as subjects of the verbs; genitives indicate possession by other nouns; datives function as indirect objects of the verb; and accusatives are direct objects. These are standard interpretations, though exceptions exist as in all languages. Second-person personal pronouns: 'You' (you) when used as the subject corresponds to 'you (singular) and '%you' (plural). For possession, 'your' (singular) and '%your' (plural) are used. As direct objects, 'you' (singular) and '%you' (plural) are employed. Verbs: Greek grammar features six tenses: Present (is doing), Imperfect (was doing), Aorist (which in the notes indicates the past – did), Perfect (have done), Pluperfect (had done), and Future (will/shall do). There are six moods: Indicative (normal), Participle (present: doing; aorist: having done, also future and perfect), Infinitive (present: to be doing; aorist: to have done), Imperative (present: keep doing or stop doing; aorist: do or do not), Subjunctive (present: may do; aorist: might do), and Optative (may do with wishful thinking). Three voices are present: Active, Middle, and Passive. Given Greek's affinity for participles, it's beneficial to grasp their syntactical uses. PARTICIPLES: Time (while: with the present tense; after: with the aorist tense), Means, Manner, Purpose, Result, Cause (because), Concession (although), Substantive, Attendant Circumstance (and), Periphrastic Participle, Indirect Discourse, Adjectival Participle, Redundant (Appositional) Absolute, Genitive Absolute / Nominative Absolute, and Imperatival. INFINITIVES: Complementary, Purpose, Result, Causal, Time, Subject, Indirect Discourse, Appositional, Direct Object, and Imperatival.
Download or read book The Group as an Object of Desire written by Morris Nitsun and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do people find it so difficult to talk openly about sex? In this original and ground-breaking book, Morris Nitsun argues that desire and sexuality are key components of human experience that have been marginalized in the group psychotherapy literature. Drawing on theory from psychoanalysis, developmental psychology and sociology, while keeping the group firmly in focus, he creates a picture of the potential in group therapy for the most intimate narrative. Highlighting current concerns about sexual identity, boundary transgression and what constitutes effective psychotherapy, detailed clinical illustrations cover areas such as: The erotic connection The dissociation of desire The group as witness Erotic transference and counter-transference Psychotherapists and all those interested in sexual development and diversity will value the challenging approach to sexuality this book offers.

Download or read book Maximum Truth Truthful Maxims written by John O'Loughlin and published by Centretruths Digital Media. This book was released on 2022-04-21 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project is comprised of two substantial volumes of maxims entitled 'Maximum Truth' and 'Truthful Maxims', both of which, dating from 1993, extend the philosophy of Social Transcendentalism into new realms of metaphysical insight, including a more comprehensive subatomic theory that owes much to the structural quadruplicities of previous works, including 'Elemental Spectra', by the author. But it is in its departure from anything to do with the 'Clear Light of the Void', to which authors like Aldous Huxley succumbed, that this project stands out as a beacon of evolutionary enlightenment in relation to the 'Holy Spirit of Heaven'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America as we know it has completely transformed. The US is ruled by a ruthless dictatorship. A genetic experiment gone wrong has made 90 percent of the newborn population male, making women a treasure that is fought over. In order to obtain that treasure and get married, a dangerous series of mind games and combat tests known as the Tournament must be won first. Allazar, a quiet twenty-year-old man living in the ruins of what used to be New York City, finds himself doing what he promised he would never do: fall in love. Upon meeting the angelic seventeen-year-old Ceirra, he finds himself instantly smitten with her, as she is with him. Allazar knows that no matter what, he must win a Tournament to marry her. Theres just one problem: as an omega (the lowest and discriminated social class in America), it is illegal for him to compete. And to make matters worse, Ceirra is in actuality the kings daughter. Allazar knows the consequences of illegally joining a Tournament just as he knows that most of the competitors that dont come out with a bride dont come out at all. In this romantic dystopian thriller, Allazar must fight not only to survive in a game that is already against him but for the rights of all those who were wronged by a corrupted, greedy, and bloodthirsty government.
