Development of a Cyber Physical System for Fire Safety

By: Rosalie Faith Wills,André Marshall

This SpringerBrief presents cutting-edge research on an important aspect of smart firefighting which will improve performance, safety, prediction, and resilience. It demonstrates the viability of real-time decision support for smart firefighting and provides validation data for continued cyber-physical system (CPS) development by using a smart networked fire test bed consisting of a multi-story instrumented building, a variety of fire and non-fire networked sensors, and a computational framework anchored by a Building Information Modeling (BIM) representation of the building. The author conducted well-controlled full-scale fire experiments and represents them in the three-dimensional BIM, allowing for visualization of critical static and dynamic building and fire information. The CPS test bed produces clear evidence about the opportunities for fire safety created by the communication between sensors, BIM, and fire. When applied to fire protection, CPS fuses the emerging sensor and computing technologies with building control systems, firefighting equipment, and apparatus. This SpringerBrief reveals some of the key ways CPS makes firefighting safer and more efficient.

The Lord Gives and I Take

By: Rosalie Cowick

God is so, so good! He never stops showering his love, his mercy, and his compassion on us in so many, many ways. The Lord gives, and I take. It doesn’t sound too good for us, does it? I could spend the rest of my life writing about what God gives to each one of us even to those who do not walk with the Lord. His hand is continually pouring out. Most of us do not think about it, or we ignore it. And if we do, we look at it with very dim-sighted eyes. Much of our time is spent on the expectations of what we want from him. But he gives, and he gives, and he gives. And the reality is, we take, and we take, and we take. We take all that God supplies with very little thankfulness to him. We are greedy, and we expect so much, and the truth is, we are so undeserving. Can we ever pay God back? Never...never...never. But we can recognize, appreciate, embrace, and be thankful for what he has done, is doing, and will do by honoring him and living our lives in his love and in service to him, worshipping and giving him all the glory and bringing to light his word to those who don’t know him. I stand in awe and amazement at the Lord’s grace for humankind. He holds all together for us. Be brought back to the beauty, the awe, and the wonder of God! May we change the casualness in our hearts and minds that we take toward him and begin to develop a view of his awesome mercy and grace. Join me in plunging into the depths of his goodness.

My Healing Heart

A Life Journey to Find Love

By: Rosalie B. Kahn

My Healing Heart is the simple, true story of Rosalie's search for God and love. Her quest began early in life, catalyzed by a painful childhood marked by sexual and emotional abuse. As this story unfolds, you are given a window into Rosalie's trials, tribulations, and joys during her lifelong search for love and truth. It's her story, but it's also your story. If you suffered from abuse or some other form of betrayal, no one taught you how to make sense of what happened. No one showed you how to heal. No one gave you a map of how to communicate your feelings without harming yourself or others in the process. My Healing Heart will help you to understand through Rosalie's challenges, heartaches, and personal healings that you have a multitude of resources for overcoming your own obstacles. You will learn through her experiences and through her wisdom gained from applying the philosophies and teachings of respected spiritual masters like Edgar Cayce, the sleeping prophet. You will also share her journey across several continents during her twenty-six-year career in the US Foreign Service. After reading My Healing Heart, you will have no doubt that your heart can also be healed.

Cyber Racism and Community Resilience

Strategies for Combating Online Race Hate

By: Andrew Jakubowicz,Kevin Dunn,Gail Mason,Yin Paradies,Ana-Maria Bliuc,Nasya Bahfen,Andre Oboler,Rosalie Atie,Karen Connelly

This book highlights cyber racism as an ever growing contemporary phenomenon. Its scope and impact reveals how the internet has escaped national governments, while its expansion is fuelling the spread of non-state actors. In response, the authors address the central question of this topic: What is to be done? Cyber Racism and Community Resilience demonstrates how the social sciences can be marshalled to delineate, comprehend and address the issues raised by a global epidemic of hateful acts against race. Authored by an inter-disciplinary team of researchers based in Australia, this book presents original data that reflects upon the lived, complex and often painful reality of race relations on the internet. It engages with the various ways, from the regulatory to the role of social activist, which can be deployed to minimise the harm often felt. This book will be of particular interest to students and academics in the fields of cybercrime, media sociology and cyber racism.

Messages . . .

Are We Listening?

By: Rosalie Malkiel

Throughout her life, the author has had intriguing experiences, which convince her there is communication between God and man. This book is a journey of how she came to these conclusions. It is her belief that if we look upon strange and miraculous occurrences as just coincidence, we can miss Gods help. Her book is an attempt to demonstrate through her lifetime experiences and that of others, how these mystical messages can alter our paths. Although she is of Jewish background and many of her messages are drawn from the Torah (The Old Testament), she believes that we all receive Divine messages and the way we react to them can be a catalyst for improving our lives. KIRKUS REVIEW In her debut, Malkiel argues that most of lifes strange coincidences are actually divine messages. Throughout my life, I have had strange experiences that have convinced me that there can be communication between God and man, the author begins. The remainder of the book elaborates on this one statement, starting with the story of her birth. Malkiels mother, being of poor health, safely delivered her unaided by nurses or doctors on the 18th of Januarya number that, Malkiel explains, denotes life in the Jewish faith. Scores of stories follow this one, each describing how the author interpreted an event or strange happenstance as a message from God. The stories are not presented chronologically, so confusion could arise about when in the authors life a particular story fits, although the confusion remains mild enough to avoid distracting too severely from the the books theme. Some events seem quite notable: Malkiels dream about her aunt drowning, only to discover that her aunt had drowned around the time of the dream. Many others, however, seem rather mundane, to the point where one could argue that only someone actively seeking examples of divine communication would find them here. Readers of faith may find it easy to relate to Malkiels conclusions. But, despite the wide range of experiences mentioned in the book, skeptics may not find satisfactory evidence to convince them of divine communication. While some nonreligious readers could potentially draw meaning from the text, it will hold far greater appeal to individuals who not only believe in a higher power, but who also share Malkiels belief about lines of communication existing between that mysterious power and humanity. That said, the book may prove a blessing for believers. Its casual tone makes the text more personal and engaging, and some readers could reaffirm their own beliefs and experiences by reading about Malkiels. An uncomplicated work that demonstrates how even the simplest life can be filled with touches of the divine, provided you choose to look for it. Kirkus

Religion and Magic in Ancient Egypt

By: Rosalie David

The ancient Egyptians believed that the Nile - their life source - was a divine gift. Religion and magic permeated their civilization, and this book provides a unique insight into their religious beliefs and practices, from 5000 BC to the 4th century AD, when Egyptian Christianity replaced the earlier customs. Arranged chronologically, this book provides a fascinating introduction to the world of half-human/ half-animal gods and goddesses; death rituals, the afterlife and mummification; the cult of sacred animals, pyramids, magic and medicine.

Letter to an Unbeliever

By: Rosalie Gilliland

Letter to an Unbeliever is a straightforward argument that makes a case for God, in an informal, familiar style. It is a short but powerful commentary that recognizes many of the reasons for resisting salvation, but encouraging for readers who may have contemplated giving God a chance. Laced with divinely inspired insights and humorous observations, Letter to an Unbeliever is not the typical inspirational book.

Nobody suffers as well as he does. Sent back to Allorn, Caleath is the only one able to stop the invasion of his former Karadorian masters. If he keeps a cool head, accepts the help of those who betrayed him and the power offered by the dead planet’s spirit, dare he unleash the ferocious warrior lurking within? Wrath has been waiting for his chance to take revenge far too long. His time has come--for better or worse.

A Summer In The Desert

By: Rosalie Gilliland

Life nowadays is hectic, busy and technical. It is all too easy for believers to become wrapped up in all the "must dos" in our day-to-day lives, and put our spiritual lives on automatic pilot. But there is a danger that exists when we are starved for God's presence, and don't realize it.

Paradoxia Epidemica

The Renaissance Tradition of Paradox

By: Rosalie Littell Colie

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Paradoxia Epidemica

The Renaissance Tradition of Paradox

By: Rosalie Littell Colie

Paradoxia Epidemica is a broad-ranging critical study of Renaissance thought, showing how the greatest writers of the period from Erasmus and Rabelais to Donne, Milton, and Shakespeare made conscious use of paradox not only as a figure of speech but as a mode of thought, a way of perceiving the universe, God, nature, and man himself. The book consists of an introduction (historical and topological) and sixteen chapters grouped according to broad types of paradox: rhetorical, theological, ontological, epistemological. Within this framework the author interprets individual writings or art forms as parts of a rich tradition. Originally published in 1966. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Teaching World History Thematically

Essential Questions and Document-Based Lessons to Connect Past and Present

By: Rosalie Metro

This book offers the tools teachers need to get started with a more thoughtful and compelling approach to teaching history, one that develops literacy and higher-order thinking skills, connects the past to students’ lives today, and meets social studies 3C standards and most state standards (grades 6–12). The author provides over 90 primary sources organized into seven thematic units, each structured around an essential question from world history. As students analyze carefully excerpted documents—including speeches by queens and rebels, ancient artifacts, and social media posts—they build an understanding of how diverse historical figures have approached key issues. At the same time, students learn to participate in civic debates and develop their own views on what it means to be a 21st-century citizen of the world. Each unit connects to current events with dynamic classroom activities that make history come alive. In addition to the documents themselves, this teaching manual provides strategies to assess student learning; mini-lectures designed to introduce documents; activities and reproducibles to help students process, display, and integrate their learning; guidance to help teachers create their own units; guidelines for respectful student debate and discussion; and more. Book Features: A timely aid for secondary school teachers tasked with meeting standards and other state-level quality requirements.An approach that promotes student engagement and critical thinking to replace or augment a traditional textbook.Challenges to the “master narrative” of world history from figures like Queen Nzinga and Huda Sha’arawi, as well as traditionally recognized historical figures such as Pericles and Napoleon.Essential questions to help students explore seven of the most important recurring themes in world history.Role-plays and debates to promote interaction among students.Printable copies of the documents included in the book can be downloaded at tcpress.com.

Unseduced and Unshaken

The Place of Dignity in a Woman's Choices

By: Rosalie De Rosset

You can’t afford to live casually, haphazardly. No matter your age, you were born into a plethora of expectations of what it means to be a woman. How easily we assume impoverished views of womanhood as we hoist beauty and desirability above the more enduring traits of self-possession and dignity. We tend to live as divided and distracted selves, allowing our bodies and minds to drift to opposite poles while swapping our pursuit of God for tamer, lesser loves. This collection of essays is more than a call to modesty or chastity. It is a thoughtful provocation to speak well, read often, make choices that reflect the character of God, and even to establish a theology of play or leisure. Being intentional with your choices, cultivating your intellect, and taking seriously your voice determines not only what kind of person you are, but also what kind of woman you will be. “[Unseduced and Unshaken] raises the bar for young Christian women...It’s a call for all Christian women to examine their personal faith presuppositions, deliberately choose a life of Biblical ‘dignity,’ and to not be frightened to allow ‘theology to inform our choices.’” Just Between Us, Summer 2013 issue

The Dressmaker

A Novel

By: Rosalie Ham

A darkly satirical novel of love, revenge, and 1950s haute couture—now a major motion picture starring Kate Winslet, Judy Davis, Liam Hemsworth, and Hugo Weaving After twenty years spent mastering the art of dressmaking at couture houses in Paris, Tilly Dunnage returns to the small Australian town she was banished from as a child. She plans only to check on her ailing mother and leave. But Tilly decides to stay, and though she is still an outcast, her lush, exquisite dresses prove irresistible to the prim women of Dungatar. Through her fashion business, her friendship with Sergeant Farrat—the town’s only policeman, who harbors an unusual passion for fabrics—and a budding romance with Teddy, the local football star whose family is almost as reviled as hers, she finds a measure of grudging acceptance. But as her dresses begin to arouse competition and envy in town, causing old resentments to surface, it becomes clear that Tilly’s mind is set on a darker design: exacting revenge on those who wronged her, in the most spectacular fashion.
