Non si sa bene chi sia stato il primo filosofo che costrui questo paradosso se Epimenide o Eubulide o Diogene Laerzio. In ogni caso non si sa nemmeno la data dell'esistenza del primo se l'VIII a.c. o il VII a.c. o il VI a.c In compenso si può dire che tutta la filosofia e la logica antica e moderna fino ai nostri giorni ha articolato il paradosso, con varie espressioni (la più nota è antinomia) e riferito a vari personaggi e vari contesti (teoria degli insiemi, logica, linguistica) tanto che prenderà vari nomi a seconda del filosofo o logico che ha articolato la nuova antinomia.(ad es.paradosso di Russell). L'enunciazione del paradosso è semplicissima: "Io sto mentendo"(Eubulide). La sua difficile risoluzione invece attraversa la storia della logica e della filosofia ed è il punto che interessa propriamente la trattazione. L'originalità del contributo di Di Caro sta non tanto nel passare in rassegna le varie soluzioni o spiegazioni che, pure, sono abbondantemente presenti, quanto nel definire le ragioni logiche del paradosso, richiamandolo all'indecidibilità (teorema di Gödel)

This devotional is an invitation and an incentive to get out in the rain to get drenched with these drops of devotions.Rain is not from the sea, but from the sky. Rain is not drawn from the faucet into the sink, but it falls from the sky. Rain is not from the ground, but from God.These raindrop devotionals are written to wet you with the Word, soak you with the Scripture, and muzzle you with the message. These raindrops are relevant, revealing, and reaching. So, let down your umbrella and let this rain drop in your walk, work, witness, worship, and week.

This book explores the poetry of Francis Webb who was both one of the greatest poets of last century and a man who in the second half of his life went in and out of mental hospitals, where he also died. The first half of the book re-proposes the contents of the first edition, which analyzes in detail the poetic language, its metaphors, symbols and their meaning, but also poetic devices - highlighting the progressive development of a central theme, aiming towards creating the myth of Christ in the figure of the poet-patient. The second half is dedicated to celebrate Webb's ability in the use of words and their meaning, comparing his poetry with most contemporary poets, where we show how its vocabulary richness is much higher than W.B.Yeats' and close to the one of Sylvia Plath. In the last chapter on computational analysis of poetic form and content, his poetry is comparable to the one of Elizabeth Bishop and further away from E.E.Cummings'. In the final section of the book, focussing on the Harmony of Sound and Sense, we show how the majority of his poems communicates a negative mood, while a good third tries to reconcile negative with positive mood, by balancing negative contents

Bethel, Capoclan celta, ha incarnato una profezia dando vita a un Semidio, Jarlath. La vita della donna è stata scossa da amore ed esperienze mistiche, tanto che al momento di abbandonare la vita viene trasfigurata in un salice. Noi vediamo il mondo attraverso le sue foglie, ma il cuore di donna e madre continua a battere, pregando e riflettendo per il proprio popolo, pur con ritmi e punti di vista silvani. La donna non riesce a darsi vinta davanti alla sofferenza e all'incombere di una furiosa guerra tra i propri figli, un conflitto che si scopre risiedere tanto tra le due fazioni quanto all'interno dei personaggi principali. L'interesse di molti si concentra sul salice, che diventa per alcuni oggetto di culto, ma nessuno saprà mai se l'albero ha poteri magici o se è il ricordo di Bethel nel cuore dei personaggi a promuoverne l'evoluzione. Il salice, tormentato dal ricordo della donna, subisce numerose mutazioni grazie alle quali riesce a comprendere ed accettare la propria situazione, fino a staccarsi dal mondo materiale e confondersi col tutto, in attesa di una nuova rinascita. Ogni protagonista attraversa la propria guerra personale e la consapevolezza maturata sarà determinante per le sorti della battaglia finale. Un romanzo profondamente intimista, che offre riflessioni preziose e sensibilizza verso il legame dell'uomo con le proprie radici situate tanto nelle profondità del sé quanto nella Natura. Questo libro, fedele trascrizione di un sogno durato 2 mesi, è un fantasy molto inconsueto che strizza l'occhio al mondo esoterico.

Simon McLean takes the reader on an often hilarious, sometimes scary, always fascinating journey through the ranks of the Scottish police: from his spell as a rookie constable in the hills and lochs of Argyll; through his career in Rothesay; and to his ultimate goal: The Serious Crime Squad in Glasgow.Once there, readers are taken into the squad room and ride along as terrorists are pursued, murderers brought to book and armed fugitives confronted; always peeking behind the veil of professionalism and order portrayed to the public.This is a rare insight into the world of our plain-clothes officers who infiltrate and suppress the worst among us. The dealers, the shooters, the gangsters and the paedophiles; they need to fall by any means, and that's a job best delivered by the few willing to do what's required: THE TEN PERCENT.Simon McLean tells 'the truth, the whole truth and something like the truth' and the result is a frank and fearless examination of the role of the police in an ever-changing Scotland. It is also by far the most entertaining account you'll ever read of the varied realities of life as a Scottish policeman.

The first ever attempt by any author to write the biography of the Honourable Indian Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi in epic poetry form. The same technique as was adapted by Tulsidasa for Lord Rama in "Ramcharitmanas" and by Edmond Spenser for Queen Elizabeth I in his book "Fairie Queene" some five hundred years ago. Alliteration, pun, simile, metaphor and rhyming schemes have been used in the composition of this epic.

Operations management and logistics lies at the heart of every organization, whether manufacturing or services, large or small, public or private, multinational or SMB. It is thus essential for all managers and business school graduates to master the fundamental concepts of operations management and logistics and to be capable of choosing and applying the best methods for the situation throughout their career.This textbook aims to present the essentials of operations management and logistics and to explain them in sufficient detail for the reader to apply them. The authors have deliberately stayed away from the latest trends in OML, not only because they will soon be outmoded anyway, but also because they are all rooted in the same timeless set of principles that can be applied to a variety of different contexts. A good manager should thus be like a chef who first masters the basics of his craft and can then combine them to make any recipe.Finally, though much space is devoted to the quantitative tools essential to operational system design and logistics management, these tools are always subordinate to the management decisions they are meant to support. The central theme running through all the chapters is the need to make choices. In logistics and operations management, there is rarely a simple, clearly marked path. Every decision the manager makes involves give and take. In fact, a good subtitle for this book could have been "The Art of Compromise".

Across the world and throughout history, mythological gods have captivated human imagination, embodying both the light and dark sides of existence. While some deities are known for their virtue, many display a striking range of behaviours-some benevolent, others brutal. From acts of kindness and creation to vengeance, deception, and manipulation, these gods reflect the complexities of human nature. In this book, you will meet diverse gods like the African goddess Oshun, who plays a crucial role in the world's creation, and the Polynesian trickster Maui, whose mischievous acts often aim to benefit humanity. Explore the contrasting temperaments of Norse gods, such as the mighty Thor, whose brute strength is wielded with noble intentions, and Loki, a master of cunning and deceit driven by self-interest. Discover the unpredictable use of magic and shapeshifting among these deities-like Zeus, the king of the Greek gods, who frequently transforms into animals or objects, often with dubious motives. A universal theme emerges across these mythologies: a belief in life after death, where rewards or punishments are meted out based on virtue-or in some cases, social standing. While some gods dispense justice, others themselves endure eternal punishments for their transgressions.

From the author of The Beasts of Vissaria County and The Infection Party comes a novelette about natural disasters and the unspeakable things they awaken from the ocean's depths. When a hurricane strikes his hometown, a young man rushes away from his new life so he can help with the recovery effort. He finds his old neighborhood dealing with the storm's aftermath in some macabre ways, including the construction of a strange totem. Even worse, nothing can prepare him for the twisted horror that awaits him inside the walls of what he once called home.

La administración de operaciones y logística es fundamental para el funcionamiento de toda empresa, ya sea industrial o de servicios, privada o pública, multinacional o pyme. Es por esto que todo administrador y todo graduado universitario del campo de la administración debe dominar sus principios fundamentales y ser capaz de elegir y utilizar los métodos que necesitará a lo largo de su carrera. El objetivo de este libro es presentar los conocimientos esenciales de la administración de operaciones y logística y explicarlos con la suficiente profundidad para que puedan ser trasladados en acciones. El libro toma, deliberadamente, distancia de los enfoques a la moda, por un lado porque estos se volverán rápidamente obsoletos y por otro lado, porque todos se basan en el mismo conjunto de principios que, por sí mismos, resisten el paso del tiempo y pueden adaptarse a diferentes contextos. Este libro se concentra en estos principios; un buen administrador es como el cocinero que domina las bases de su trabajo y puede elaborar cualquier receta. Finalmente, a pesar de que las herramientas cuantitativas, esenciales para diseñar los sistemas de operaciones y controlar las actividades logísticas, constituyen una parte importante del libro, estos instrumentos siempre están subordinados a las decisiones administrativas que deben apoyar. El tema central que se destaca en todos los capítulos es la necesidad de elegir entre múltiples opciones disponibles. De hecho, es raro que en administración de operaciones y logística exista una receta única; todas las decisiones conllevan compromisos y renuncias, tanto así que este libro podría haberse titulado el arte del arbitraje.

Poor Allison. One minute she's crying into her tequila in a country-western bar, and the next she's a vampire. She'd fallen for a lot of lines in her time, but she's never had a morning after like this one, waking up alone in a seedy L.A. motel room, dumped again--and suddenly one of the undead. Seth had promised her that things would be different. Then he sucked her dry and left her without so much as a training manual. Now it's up to her to figure out how to survive without a clue in the seamy underbelly of the city at night. But survival is more of a long shot than ever once Allison gets on the bad side of a catty coven of exotic dancers...all of them vengeful vampires.
