One hundred and fifty years of advancing technology has done much to promote the success of the human race...or has it? This fast-paced technological thriller may have some clues.Fast forward a century and a half to the platinum age of medicine and an Earth pursuing a large-scale colonization effort on Mars. While the pacemaker may have been one of the first devices implanted in a person, it surely will not be the last. The ever-shrinking integrated circuit will most certainly find its way into our systems. Stem-cell research, in it’s infancy now, will likely progress into a beneficial method of the prevention and treatment of disease. Like their predecessors, Cancer, AIDS, Ebola and the like will surely be wiped out. Detox is a taught thriller, with mystery, suspense, loads of action, and a dash of romance. Man’s inhumanity to man takes center stage in a quest for truth, justice, and retribution. And with the world’s largest corporations, Dual-Planet and Molentel, and the deadly Plasma Virus intertwined in a massive colonization effort on the Red Planet, maybe the bottom line needs to be taken into account.

The Letters and Diaries of John Henry Newman Volume IX

Littlemore and the Parting of Friends May 1842-October 1843

By: John Henry Newman

John Henry Newman (1801-90) was brought up in the Church of England in the Evangelical tradition. An Oxford graduate and Fellow of Oriel College, he was appointed Vicar of St Mary's Oxford in 1828; from 1839 onwards he began to have doubts about the claims of the Anglican Church and in 1845 he was received into the Roman Catholic Church. He was made a Cardinal in 1879. His influence on both the restoration of Roman Catholicism in England and the advance of Catholic ideas in the Church of England was profound. This volume covers a crucially important and significant period in Newman's life. The Church of England bishops' continuing condemnation of Tract 90 - plus Pusey's two-year suspension for preaching a university sermon on the Real Presence - are major factors in Newman resigning as Vicar of St Mary's, Oxford. His doubts about the Church of England are deeper and stronger than ever, and he is moving closer to Rome. William Lockhart's sudden defection to Rome in August 1843 precipitates his resignation. He preaches his final Anglican sermon, 'The Parting of Friends', and retires into lay communion at Littlemore. The first edition of University Sermons, including the celebrated sermon on theological development, virtually sells out within a fortnight.

Multimodality

Foundations, Research and Analysis – A Problem-Oriented Introduction

By: John Bateman,Janina Wildfeuer,Tuomo Hiippala

This textbook provides the first foundational introduction to the practice of analysing multimodality, covering the full breadth of media and situations in which multimodality needs to be a concern. Readers learn via use cases how to approach any multimodal situation and to derive their own specifically tailored sets of methods for conducting and evaluating analyses. Extensive references and critical discussion of existing approaches from many disciplines and in each of the multimodal domains addressed are provided. The authors adopt a problem-oriented perspective throughout, showing how an appropriate foundation for understanding multimodality as a phenomenon can be used to derive strong methodological guidance for analysis as well as supporting the adoption and combination of appropriate theoretical tools. Theoretical positions found in the literature are consequently always related back to the purposes of analysis rather than being promoted as valuable in their own right. By these means the book establishes the necessary theoretical foundations to engage productively with today’s increasingly complex combinations of multimodal artefacts and performances of all kinds.

Wisdom Epistemology in the Psalter

Wisdom Epistemology in the Psalter

A Study of Psalms 1, 73, 90, and 107

By: John Kartje

We present a comparative epistemological analysis of the wisdom motifs in Psalms 1, 73, 90, and 107. These texts were selected on the basis of their epistemological content (each confronts the relationship between virtue and prosperity), and their canonical placement within the Psalter (each begins one of the Psalter’s five “Books”). We explore the implications of their respective epistemological features for our understanding of the canonical structure of the Psalter. After developing a diagnostic method for the identification and analysis of the epistemological features within a biblical text, we apply it to each of the four psalms, and discuss their epistemological qualities with respect to their canonical placement in the Psalter. We find that an epistemic progression develops across the canonical ordering of the four psalms. While the psalmists are increasingly forthright in acknowledging the moral paradox that the righteous often suffer, while the wicked can prosper, they engage this paradox with ever more sophisticated responses. Although Yhwh is ultimately the source of all wisdom, human beings can facilitate their acquisition of knowledge by seeking him out intentionally, by questioning him directly, and by observing him with a heart focused on learning.
