Drinking glasses of cava in the sunshine, indulging in delicious tapas, and learning Spanish with ease is what Amy Breen, a hard-charging physician and mother of three, expected of life in Spain. But when she and her young family move to Barcelona, the tranquilo lifestyle of their new country has other ideas for her. Join Amy and her family in their mishaps and adventures living in Barcelona and traveling throughout Europe, and watch as Amy—openly and with a self-deprecating humor—unfolds her struggles in her transition from a handle-it-all doctor and mother in the States to full-time parent who needs her kids to translate. The tranquilo way of life is Amy’s adversary, and then teacher, in this humorous personal and family journey.
This book explores the masculinity and sexuality of migration, analyzing the complex processes of becoming a man and the strategies used by men to reconcile paradoxes and contradictions that co-exist between multiple masculinities and contradictory models of being a man. Vasquez del Aguila offers a number of conceptual contributions, including the notion of “masculine capital” that provides men with the necessary “masculine” skills and cultural competence to achieve legitimacy and social recognition as men; an analysis of male friendship where notions of solidarity and intimacy co-exist with those of distrust, competition, and power relations; and three social representations of being a man: the winner, the failed, and the good enough man. By analyzing heterosexual as well as gay masculinities, and incorporating race and class relations, this study shows the multiplicity and hierarchies of masculinities presented within a particular cultural context. Through ethnographic research undertaken over more than four years in New York and Lima, Peru, this book also examines the role of the Internet and transnational romances and the ways in which migration can create new opportunities for male sexual intimacy, while for others, it creates loneliness and isolation.
Quien no use los talentos dados por Dios para el bien del reino, representa la imagen de la sal que ha perdido su sabor. Los siervos sin frutos son un claro ejemplo de esto. Jesús dijo que un siervo improductivo no sirve para nada. Es importante que la sal haga sentir su presencia. Tu comida puede tener sal pero debe tener la cantidad suficiente para que surta efecto. Tú eres la sal de la tierra, ¡así que debes hacer sentir tu presencia en este mundo! ¿No sirves para nada en el reino? Este libro profético sobre la sal y su misteriosa influencia y utilidad profética para el reino de Dios, te permitirá contemplar en profundidad tu utilidad o falta de ella, para Dios. En este libro que invita a la reflexión, aprenderás lo que significa no servir para nada, al analizar y comprender la función de la sal en nuestra vida. ¡Que NO seas alguien que no sirve para nada!
This work discusses Gender Mainstreaming from a post-development perspective, while it explores in which ways the Capability Approach may contribute to this strategy. The author puts notions of well-being at the heart of her arguments and questions the concrete practices of the development apparatus that derive from the idea of bringing gender equality to the Global South. She looks at the power structures which shape the relationships between development professionals, local experts, and local participants. This interdisciplinary research has followed the Grounded Theory methodology using its potential to decolonize knowledge production. The fieldwork was conducted in Germany and Bolivia. Dissertation.

Reversible grammar allows computational models to be built that are equally well suited for the analysis and generation of natural language utterances. This task can be viewed from very different perspectives by theoretical and computational linguists, and computer scientists. The papers in this volume present a broad range of approaches to reversible, bi-directional, and non-directional grammar systems that have emerged in recent years. This is also the first collection entirely devoted to the problems of reversibility in natural language processing. Most papers collected in this volume are derived from presentations at a workshop held at the University of California at Berkeley in the summer of 1991 organised under the auspices of the Association for Computational Linguistics. This book will be a valuable reference to researchers in linguistics and computer science with interests in computational linguistics, natural language processing, and machine translation, as well as in practical aspects of computability.
“In this latest compilation of poetry from Saenz, fifty poems about love, hope, peace, nature and meditation are collected for the reader’s enjoyment. Each of these poems is printed in a side-byside nature, with the original English on the left and a Spanish version translated by both the author and his brother (who holds a doctorate in foreign language education) to ensure that the meaning and detail intended is not lost in translation. The overall themes of this collection are tranquil and reflective, even with titles like “Vagabonds” and “Human Struggles.” Finding beauty in every moment and circumstance, Saenz captures these moments of peace and frames them in contemplative thought to share with the reader.” — US Review of Books “As a whole, this poetic collection comprises a vast variety of inner reflections, both lucid in expression and stimulating in depiction. Stocked with one hundred poems, what is especially engaging about this work is that it is presented in a bilingual format, which smartly allows it to reach and entertain a far vaster readership. Each poetic composition appears firstly as the English version and then the Spanish version follows consecutively, however, no matter which language the poems appear in, they still resonate artfully with a soulful authenticity.” — Pacific Book Review Edge of a Fantasy and Other Poems is a book of approximately fifty poems written in English and Spanish side by side in a bilingual format.
Aunque la muerte es lo único que tenemos seguro, no es más que un cambio para nuestra alma del plano físico al plano espiritual; sin embargo, puede ser que ciertas circunstancias de la vida nos impidan dar el gran paso quedándonos atorados en el plano terrenal, que ya no nos corresponde, sin estar conscientes de nuestro fallecimiento. Los apegos a seres queridos, bienes materiales y a situaciones especiales, son suficientes para atrapar a un ser confundido impidiéndole seguir su camino evolutivo. Existen también seres que a pesar de saber que perdieron su cuerpo físico al fallecer, se sienten con tal culpabilidad por los actos cometidos en su vida que al no perdonarse ellos mismos, tampoco se sienten dignos de acercarse a la Luz. La angustia, la culpa, el rencor y el deseo de venganza al morir son definitivos para que un ser se quede con esos sentimientos negativos, impidiéndole continuar con su evolución espiritual. Aprovechando el conocimiento de estos temas y ciertas facultades especiales con la que algunos de sus integrantes fuimos dotados, nació nuestra pequeña organización familiar reconocida en el astral como "Grupo de Rescate" que, con la ayuda de Seres de Luz y mediante la participación de una médium, logra comunicarse con seres confundidos que al morir no alcanzan la Luz, guiándolos hacia el plano espiritual. El presente libro expone interesantes y variadas comunicaciones del Grupo de Rescate, a través del médium, con estos seres confundidos y su guía hacia la Luz; así como la apertura y desarrollo del don de canalización de uno de los integrantes del grupo como canal de comunicación con seres que ya fallecieron. La transcripción a detalle de estas comunicaciones acercará al lector a vislumbrar lo que sucede en el más allá.
HERE IS THE STORY HOLLYWOOD DOES NOT WANT YOU TO READ! Throughout the 1970s and 80s, the United States and other nations conducted numerous scientific experiments intent upon recovering and then replicating the DNA genomes of animals whose lives had been extinct for a period of over tens of thousands up to several millions of years. With no guidelines to follow and, even worse, no external monitoring, many formerly extinct life forms were eventually cloned and successfully re-created, but with deadly and destructive results. Most of the nations involved in such devastating experiments, including the United States, promptly responded by enacting highly controversial laws prohibiting both the research into replicating the DNA and the revival of such extinct creatures. While some nations reacted by passing bans on such research for twenty-five to fifty years, the United States enacted a ban of only twenty years, due to expire on January 1st, 2015. Other nations, including many third world countries, openly resisted the pressure put upon them by the larger nations and opted out of enacting any type of restrictions. Sensing a shift in popular opinion during the two years preceding the expiration of the ban, the United States Congress began to conduct numerous hearings on the matter, including collecting the testimony of nearly one hundred fifty of the nations most prominent geneticists and scholars. Among the group invited to testify before Congress was Nicholas P. Heinz III, a thirty-two year old paleogeneticist and chairman of the highly esteemed research firm, BioGen, BioGenetics International Technologies, LLC, in Cupertino, California. One of the last witnesses called to testify, Heinz had hoped his impassioned testimony and detailed documentation of the myriad benefits derived from DNA genome research would help to continue the momentum gained from earlier witnesses and would sway the Congress into letting the ban expire without being renewed. From Kurt M. V. Rich, the author of the critically acclaimed historical novel 'Chasing the Golden Hoard: The Story of the Lydian Hoard,' 'Re-Creating the Cretaceous' invites you to investigate the story of scientific wonders intermingled with greed, arrogance, subterfuge, and a quest for power far beyond the imagination of Hollywood.
