The recent rapid advances in wireless technologies have created a
demand for high quality multimedia applications and services. These
advanced multimedia applications give rise to a new set of
challenges in providing Quality of Service (QoS) when delivering
these services over wireless networks. The Handbook of Research on
Wireless Multimedia: Quality of Service and Solutions highlights
and discusses the underlying QoS issues that arise in the delivery
of real-time multimedia services over wireless networks. This
cutting-edge book presents state-of-the-art solutions from leading
researchers active in the field to address the QoS issues for
different wireless multimedia applications.
Honest happiness and effortless living are possible. You just have
to heal from a blame addiction you didn’t know you had. Life is
designed to be effortless. It might not seem like it right now, but
a deep sense of confidence, freedom, and serenity is attainable
regardless of your situation. All you need to do is address ONE
habit. One that you didn’t know you had. Anxiety, depression,
anger, shame, and guilt are all symptoms of your blame addiction.
Spend a month on the BLAME recovery process. Within 30 days… YOUR
MENTAL HEALTH WILL IMPROVE. YOUR PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE WILL BE
ENHANCED. YOUR ENERGY LEVELS WILL INCREASE. YOUR LIFE WILL CHANGE.
From the very first chapter of The Blame Game, you will not only
start to release years of built-up frustration, resentment, and
sadness, you will begin to find out who you honestly are—all so
you can find out what your true purpose is.
This book offers an advanced introduction to central questions in
legal philosophy. What factors determine the content of the law in
force? What makes a normative system a legal system? How does law
beyond the state differ from domestic law? What kind of moral force
does law have? These are all questions about the nature of law. The
most important existing views are introduced, but the aim is not to
survey the existing literature. Rather, this book introduces the
subject by stepping back from the fray to sketch the big picture,
to show just what is at stake in these old debates. Legal
philosophy has become somewhat arid and inward looking. In part
this is because the disagreement between the main camps on the
important questions is apparently intractable. The main aim of the
book is to suggest both a diagnosis and a proper practical response
to this situation of intractable disagreement about questions that
do matter.
What do Christians do with the Bible? How do they--individually and
collectively--interact with the sacred texts? Why does this
engagement shift so drastically among and between social,
historical, religious, and institutional contexts? Such questions
are addressed in a most enlightening, engaging, and original way in
"The Social Life of Scriptures."
Contributors offer a collection of closely analyzed and
carefully conducted ethnographic and historical case studies,
covering a range of geographic, theological, and cultural
territory, including: American evangelicals and charismatics;
Jamaican Rastafarians; evangelical and Catholic Mayans; Northern
Irish charismatics; Nigerian Anglicans; and Chinese evangelicals in
the United States.
"The Social Life of Scriptures" is the first book to present an
eclectic, cross-cultural, and comparative investigation of Bible
use. Moreover, it models an important movement to outline a
framework for how scriptures are implicated in organizing social
structures and meanings, with specific foci on gender, ethnicity,
agency, and power.
