William Haas (1883-1956) was born in Nuremberg and received his PhD. at Munich in 1910. He traveled widely throughout the Middle East and taught at universities in Germany, Iran and the United States. After a lifetime studying the thoughts and cultures of the East, he formulated the thesis laid out here in his final book: that East and West are not mere geographical or even racial distinctions, but two radically different types of consciousness, two fundamentally different orientations and ways of thinking."Professor Haas attacks-and I believe, demolishes-an assumption that underlies almost all modern theories of history: that the minds of all human beings, if not defective or disordered, work in essentially the same way. ... [He] has, I believe, done for the study of comparative history what Böhr did for atomic physics." - Revilo Oliver

"John S. McFarland wrote with poetic brilliance while creating intriguing and sympathetic characters. A truly masterful story." Nella Warrent, author of Sin Full and Time Thief 1757.>So is described Euphrosine, Meres des Sicles, the Mother of Centuries. Her age is unknown, but she knows her purpose: to protect women from the demon Balphoroth, a monstrous being who infects the bodies of men to carry out his lustful desires against innocent women. Euphrosine's journal from 1757 details her time in November of 1348 through January of 1349, her destiny leading her to gain the trust of young Seraphica to save her life. Back then, she knew the ancient demon was influencing Orien Bastide, an affluent man who was grateful for the immortal life he'd been granted, even though it was turning him into a living corpse. 1894.>Anatolia Montes is a young woman gifted-or perhaps cursed-with prophetic abilities. In 1888, she was at St. Perpetua's school for girls in 1888 in Ste. Odile when she met Perdita Badon-Reed. Perdita sacrificed her own life but sadly failed to save Anatolia from Bastide, who has now attacked the young woman as his newest victim. Anatolia must now return to Ste. Odile to meet with Moira Keane Parnell, Perdita's dear friend. Moira has found Euphrosine's journal and believes Anatolia's life is at stake. When Anatolia discovers herself pregnant, she knows she is the key to stopping Bastide's evil reign and that she must find him. Her desperate search leads her to South Carolina, to meeting the Gullah people who understand the curse and can lead her on her journey. She must find the strength to get to Bastide, stop him, and banish the demon Balphoroth forever. McFarland has woven two time periods together in this gothic historical novel, the sequel to his highly praised work The Black Garden. Come learn the fate of the loving Anatolia, the history of the enigmatic Euphrosine, and how both women's lives will entwine to hopefully save countless women to come. "Masterfully written with the perfect blend of historical setting, folklore, suspense, and horror. I couldn't put it down." D. L. Andersen, author of Across Unstill Waters and That Far Distance Country

Пицата е плосък, отворен пай от италиански произход, състоящ се от подобна на хляб кора, покрита с подправен доматен сос и сирене, често гарнирана със солени меса и зеленчуци. Традиционно пицата се класифицира по дебелина, форма и платформа за сглобяване. Категоризиране на пици A. Дебелина на кората Пицата се предлага във варианти с тънка, средна и дебела кора. Количеството тесто е основният фактор, който влияе върху дебелината на кората. Размерът на покачването обаче също играе роля. Тестото, което е недостатъчно втасало или прекалено втасало, или е изравнено преди печене, има тенденция да произвежда по-тънка кора от тази, която е оставена да втаса (или да втаса) до оптимално ниво след разточване и преди печене. B. Форма Пиците също се класифицират по форма - а именно кръгли и правоъгълни. Пицата, която се приготвя в правоъгълна тава, понякога се нарича пица "италианска пекарна" - мястото, откъдето произлиза. Кръглата обаче е най-често срещаната форма в пицариите, вероятно защото се прави най-лесно. Има и специални форми, като пица във формата на сърце, която е вечна любима пица за Свети Валентин. C. Сглобяване Пиците също се класифицират според платформата, на която са сглобени. По принцип има три pan, screen и peel (или paddle) - известни съответно като пица на тиган, пица на сито и пица на огнище. Пан пица се нарича още пица с дълбоко блюдо и пица с тиган. Пиците с по-дебела кора обикновено се правят в тиган, докато по-тънките често се сглобяват върху сито или кора. Когато се прави на кори, пицата се пече директно върху огнището или плочата на пещта. Вариант на пица, изпечена на огнище, включва приготвяне и печене на пицата върху незагоряща хартия, обработена със силикон

The American Statistical Association (ASA) and the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) have longstanding ethical practice standards that are explicitly intended to be utilized by all who use statistical practices or computing, or both. Since statistics and computing are critical in any data-centered activity, these practice standards are essential to instruction in the uses of statistical practices or computing across disciplines.Ethical Reasoning for a Data-Centered World is aimed at any undergraduate or graduate students utilizing data. Whether the career goal is research, teaching, business, government, or a combination, this book presents a method for understanding and prioritizing ethical statistics, computing, and data science - featuring the ASA and ACM practice standards. To facilitate engagement, integration with prior learning, and authenticity, the material is organized around seven tasks: Planning/Designing; Data collection; Analysis; Interpretation; Reporting; Documenting; and Engaging in Team Work. This book is a companion volume to Ethical Practice of Statistics and Data Science, also published by Ethics International Press (2022). These are the first and only books to be based on, and to provide guidance to, the American Statistical Association (ASA) and Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) ethical guideline documents.
