Book excerpt: A California lawyer is reunited with her Caribbean mother, and must cope with a crisis, in a novel about identity and family. Jean has lived in the United States—and avoided her Caribbean homeland—for years. But as she prepares to work on a lesbian couple’s child custody case, in the hopes of advancing her law career, she is suddenly pulled in another direction. Her uncle, a prominent man back on the island, has died, and Jean’s mother, who nursed him through his long illness, demands her daughter’s attention. She wants to come visit her in Oakland. As Jean struggles through memories of both childhood and adulthood, she must come to terms with her past, her future, her true identity—and her relationship with a woman who has made her life difficult, but who may now desperately need her help.
Download or read book SIMPLE DISTANCE AND DIFFERENCE STRATEGY TO INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING THE LOTTERY written by Swaminathan and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2024-09-12 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An interesting book that explains the puzzles of lotteries in detail and explains the methods of solving those puzzles. While it is best suited for American Powerball and Mega Millions lotteries, it is a great one for all lotteries that allow individuals to choose their preferred numbers. It is generally believed that the probability of winning the lottery is very low and its random nature doesn’t increase the chance of winning the lottery in any way. But based on a simple ‘Distance and Difference’ strategy with simple mathematics and basic arithmetic symbols, it describes how to beat millions of odds and increase the chances of winning the lottery. Undoubtedly, it beautifully describes how to extract future winning numbers from previously drawn lottery numbers. Also, it is perfect for finding the right tips and getting the desired results. Although it doesn’t guarantee winning the lottery, it provides a great start and guidance you need to succeed. In short, it combines the joy of reading with the acquisition of useful knowledge.

Download or read book Berkeley s Lasting Legacy written by Timo Airaksinen and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2011-01-18 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Berkeley (1685–1753) is, with John Locke and David Hume, one of the three major figures in the British empiricist school of philosophy. He has been the centre of much attention recently and his philosophical profile has gradually changed. In the 20th century he was almost exclusively known for his denial of the existence of matter (as this term was defined in those days), but today it is no longer reasonable to confine an account of Berkeley to the challenging philosophical inventions that he published when he was a young fellow at Trinity College in Dublin. This is a welcome trend. It shows Berkeley as a contributor not only to epistemology, metaphysics and moral and social philosophy, but also to a wide range of subjects including mathematics, philosophy of science, empirical psychology, political economy and monetary policy. The present collection aims at meeting this new trend by presenting a broad and comprehensive picture of Berkeley’s works in their historical context. The contributors are some of the finest international experts in the field. The editors hope that this collection will show George Berkeley as he was: a wide-ranging, widely influential and courageous philosophical innovator. This volume has been published to celebrate the 300th anniversary of George Berkeley’s Principles.

Download or read book An Introduction to Toxicogenomics written by Michael E. Burczynski and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2003-03-26 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the advent of cDNA microarrays, oligonucleotide array technology, and gene chip analysis, genomics has revolutionized the entire field of biomedical research. A byproduct of this revolution, toxicogenomics is a fast-rising star within toxicological analysis. Gathering together leading authors and scientists at the forefront of the field, An Introduction to Toxicogenomics provides a comprehensive overview of this new discipline. With a focus on toxicology, it introduces the basic principles of microarray/oligonucleotide array-based genomic analysis and explains how it fits into the field of biomedical research. These discussions provide an overview to the actual mechanics of the analyses themselves and offer insights on handling and quality control. Then the book features an important section on the basics of data analysis and clustering methods such as genetic algorithms. Finally, it covers the application of expression profiling in the field of toxicology and addresses the two fundamental types of analysis in detail, with sections dedicated to both mechanistic and predictive studies. Although toxicogenomics promises fast, efficient techniques and information-rich data, much of its potential remains untapped. An Introduction to Toxicogenomics consolidates the concepts underlying the field to provide a solid foundation from which to begin your research endeavors.
