This study traces the debate surrounding Luke's use of the Gospel of Mark and special sources, such as Proto-Luke, in a section of the passion narrative (Lk 22,54-23,25). The survey covers roughly the period from the 1880's to 1997. Part I details the development from P. Feine to the 1960's. Part II begins with G. Schneider continuing up through 1997. In treating each scholar's position, the author reviews their underlying Synoptic theory, their source theory in the passion in general, then the trial of Pilate, and finally the trial before Herod. Part III is devoted to an interpretation of Lk 23,6 - 16. Part IV contains the list of abbreviations, the bibliography, and three appendices: (1) Special LQ vocabulary and constructions according to J. Weiss; (2) Lukan priority theories; and (3) the Gospel of Peter and its relation to the Herod pericope. Part IV concludes with the name index. The Lukan Passion Narrative will be particularly useful to those concerned with Luke's redactional technique, Source theories, Minor Agreements, and the history of exegesis.
There’s nothing quite like the life of the sports professional. Waking up every morning and earning your living from doing something you are passionate about is a rare and privileged position to be in. But it can be a precarious existence – a bit like walking a tightrope. Just one bad injury away from the final whistle; or one good performance away from the headlines. Many elite athletes do find themselves having to retire early - usually as a result of injury. And it is at that low point they are deposited back into the “real world”; sometimes without the qualifications or experience required to compete for skilled jobs. Importantly, even if you are lucky enough to have a long and s...
An ode to the beloved typeface Helvetica is a sans-serif typeface. It is simple and clean, and commonly seen in advertising, signage, and literature. The R has a curved leg, and the i and j have square dots. The Q has a straight angled tail, and the counterforms inside the O, Q, and C are oval. It is an all-purpose type design that can deliver practically any message clearly and efficiently. It is one of the most popular typefaces of all time. Helvetica: Homage to a Typeface presents 400 examples of Helvetica in action, selected from two diametrically opposed worlds. Superb applications by renowned designers are juxtaposed with an anonymous collection of ugly, ingenious, charming, and hair-raising samples of its use.

The papers are organized in topical sections on variational models for depth and flow, reconstruction, bio-informatics, deep learning and segmentation, feature computation, video interpretation, segmentation and labeling, image processing and analysis, human pose and people tracking, interpolation and inpainting.
Cities across the world have been resorting to star architects to brand their projects, spark urban regeneration and market the city image internationally. This book shifts the attention from star architects to star architecture, arguing that the process of deciding about and implementing relevant architectural and urban projects is not the product of any single actor. Star architecture can, in fact, be better studied and understood as assembled by multiple actors and in its relationship with urban transformation. In its 18 chapters, the book presents a multidisciplinary collection of expert contributions in the fields of urban planning, architecture, media studies, urban economics, geography, and sociology, consistently brought together for the first time to deal with this topic. Through a vast array of case studies and analytical techniques touching over 20 cities in Europe, the book shows the positive and more problematic impacts of star architecture with reference to the preservation of built heritage, tourism and media. The book will be of interest to architects, sociologists, urban planners, and public administrators.
Judge Jeremy Smythe-Thomson is presiding over the trial of two Colombian drug suppliers; the senior drug baron is Luiz Costello. The judge receives a phone call, telling him the drug baron’s gang has kidnapped his only daughter Julia, and if he does not find a way to release the Colombians, she will be killed. The judge calls on the help of Elliot and his friend Adam, the latter being ex-SAS and now operates a top-security organization. Adam traces where the girl is being kept and secures her release. The Colombians are then given heavy jail sentences. However, the gang manages to rescue Luiz. Before Luiz escapes from Britain, he gives orders to kill the judge, which they do. Adam then once again becomes involved as he sets out to bring Costello back from Columbia to continue his jail sentence. To do this, he makes contact with Leo Wallace, an American friend from his time in the First Gulf War who, Adam believes, is now heading up a CIA section in Miami. It turns out that Leo is also keen to deal with Costello. With a group of ex-army colleagues, they hatch a plan to bring this man to justice. However, unknown to Adam, Leo’s intentions are for a different type of justice.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 32nd International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering, CAiSE 2020, held in Grenoble, France, in June 2020.* The 33 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 185 submissions. The book also contains one invited talk in full paper length. The papers were organized in topical sections named: distributed applications; AI and big data in IS; process mining and analysis; requirements and modeling; and information systems engineering. Abstracts on the CAiSE 2020 tutorials can be found in the back matter of the volume. *The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
When a young woman is found murdered on the property she used to own, her brother enlists Puck Schneider - the nosiest teenager in Arcadia Lake - to help him find out who killed her. It doesn't take Puck long to realize that he's getting way more than he bargained for, as he's drawn into a world of werewolves, monsters, and murder.
From its inception in Greek antiquity, the science of optics was aimed primarily at explaining sight and accounting for why things look as they do. By the end of the seventeenth century, however, the analytic focus of optics had shifted to light: its fundamental properties and such physical behaviors as reflection, refraction, and diffraction. This dramatic shift—which A. Mark Smith characterizes as the “Keplerian turn”—lies at the heart of this fascinating and pioneering study. Breaking from previous scholarship that sees Johannes Kepler as the culmination of a long-evolving optical tradition that traced back to Greek antiquity via the Muslim Middle Ages, Smith presents Kepler inste...
