Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our society teaches us to grow up and "make it on our own." In a sense, we are expected to live as if we are orphans and make our way without the love and guidance of a wise parent. God's expectation for us is never to be orphaned, but rather to transition our dependence from our parents to the One Jesus called, "Abba."The Abba Transition describes the ways in which God desires to reverse the mistakes that we or our parents made in preparing us for adulthood and help us accept Him as the perfect, eternal Parent.Weaving Biblical, pastoral and personal stories, Anglican pastor Christopher Waters describes an ongoing transition into a complete, healthy and whole life in our Heavenly Father.The Abba Transition is a book about parenting, spiritual maturity and emotional wholeness. But primarily, The Abba Transition is a story of eternal love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agaytha took a deep breath as the future of her family linage sat in the balance as she weighed her options at Good Samaritan Hospital. She had been raised with old school Christian values from her parents Ralph and Angelina Corbin. Her parents had been blessed with her birth in their old age and they had taken every opportunity give her an advantage especially in her academic endeavors. She had taken full advantage of her educational opportunities, and was well on her way to a successful career in banking, until she fell head over heels in love with her boyfriend. She had a child from a previous relationship but her new connection with her hopeful future husband to be seemed to be everything she was looking for at first. As time progressed it became apparent that for her fairy tale happily ever after to manifest, she would have to put in all the work. After a major family loss, Agaytha found herself in the hospital, her health compromised and her second high risk pregnancy running it’s course. As she laid in her bed, reflecting on her life she had time to evaluate the impact her associations had on her village. She was a giver, and in her life she had poured her love and support into so many dead ends that it seemed at this point she had nothing left. In the midst of her inner turmoil, she felt at peace with walking away from it all and following the call to be of service to her community.

Download or read book Demystifying Computation A Hands on Introduction written by Apostolos Syropoulos and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 2017-04-19 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Problem solving in computing is referred to as computational thinking. The theory behind this concept is challenging in its technicalities, yet simple in its ideas. This book introduces the theory of computation from its inception to current form of complexity; from explanations of how the field of computer science was formed using classical ideas in mathematics by Gödel, to conceptualization of the Turing Machine, to its more recent innovations in quantum computation, hypercomputation, vague computing and natural computing. It describes the impact of these in relation to academia, business and wider society, providing a sound theoretical basis for its practical application.Written for accessibility, Demystifying Computation provides the basic knowledge needed for non-experts in the field, undergraduate computer scientists and students of information and communication technology and software development.
Download or read book Universality In Nonequilibrium Lattice Systems Theoretical Foundations written by Geza Odor and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2008-05-08 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Universal scaling behavior is an attractive feature in statistical physics because a wide range of models can be classified purely in terms of their collective behavior due to a diverging correlation length. This book provides a comprehensive overview of dynamical universality classes occurring in nonequilibrium systems defined on regular lattices. The factors determining these diverse universality classes have yet to be fully understood, but the book attempts to summarize our present knowledge, taking them into account systematically.The book helps the reader to navigate in the zoo of basic models and classes that were investigated in the past decades, using field theoretical formalism and topological diagrams of phase spaces. Based on a review in Rev. Mod. Phys. by the author, it incorporates surface growth classes, classes of spin models, percolation and multi-component system classes as well as damage spreading transitions. (The success of that review can be quantified by the more than one hundred independent citations of that paper since 2004.)The extensions in this book include new topics like local scale invariance, tricritical points, phase space topologies, nonperturbative renormalization group results and disordered systems that are discussed in more detail. This book also aims to be more pedagogical, providing more background and derivation of results. Topological phase space diagrams introduced by Kamenev (Physical Review E 2006) very recently are used as a guide for one-component, reaction-diffusion systems.

Download or read book Elements of Computation Theory written by Arindama Singh and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-04-30 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The foundation of computer science is built upon the following questions: What is an algorithm? What can be computed and what cannot be computed? What does it mean for a function to be computable? How does computational power depend upon programming constructs? Which algorithms can be considered feasible? For more than 70 years, computer scientists are searching for answers to such qu- tions. Their ingenious techniques used in answering these questions form the theory of computation. Theory of computation deals with the most fundamental ideas of computer s- ence in an abstract but easily understood form. The notions and techniques employed are widely spread across various topics and are found in almost every branch of c- puter science. It has thus become more than a necessity to revisit the foundation, learn the techniques, and apply them with con?dence. Overview and Goals This book is about this solid, beautiful, and pervasive foundation of computer s- ence. It introduces the fundamental notions, models, techniques, and results that form the basic paradigms of computing. It gives an introduction to the concepts and mathematics that computer scientists of our day use to model, to argue about, and to predict the behavior of algorithms and computation. The topics chosen here have shown remarkable persistence over the years and are very much in current use.

Download or read book Death as Transformation written by Dr Henry L Novello and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-06-28 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A key tenet of Christian faith is that the crucifixion of Jesus Christ is a unique death by which the powers of death in the world have been conquered, so that Christian life in the Spirit is marked by the promise and hope of 'new life' already anticipated in the community of baptized believers. Notwithstanding this basic tenet regarding the Christian life as a participation in the redemptive death of Jesus Christ, theology in the past, as well as much contemporary theology, tends to assign no salvific significance to the event of our own death, focusing instead on death in negative terms as the wages of sin. This work is a significant retort to theological neglect, both Catholic and Protestant, of the positive and transformative aspect of our death when conceived as a dying into the redemptive death of Jesus Christ. The development of Henry L. Novello's proposed theology of death takes place in conversation with the pre-eminent contemporary contributors to this field of theological inquiry. By offering comprehensive critiques of Karl Rahner, Hans Urs von Balthasar, Karl Barth, Eberhard Jüngel and Jürgen Moltmann, Novello painstakingly pieces together a positive construal of death as salvific and transformative. What is especially distinctive about Novello's work is that he develops the idea of death as a sharing in the 'admirable exchange of natures' in the person of Jesus Christ, from which emerges his theory of resurrection at death for all. The reach of the work is extended by exploring some pastoral and liturgical implications of a theology of death conceived as the privileged moment for the actualization of God's grace in Jesus Christ, and thus being created anew in the power of the Spirit.
