Book excerpt: In the early fifteenth century, two Tibetan monks debated how to transform the body ritually into a celestial palace inhabited by buddhas. The discussion between Ngorchen Künga Zangpo and Khédrupjé Gélek Pelzangpo concerned the mechanics of this tantric ritual practice, known as body mandala, as well as the most reliable sources to follow in performing it. As representatives of the Sakya and emerging Geluk traditions respectively, these authors spoke for communities of Buddhist practitioners vying for patronage and prestige in an evolving Tibetan scholastic culture. Their debate witnessed clashes between imagination and deception, continuity and rupture, and tradition and innovation. Searching for the Body demonstrates the significance of the body mandala debate for understandings of Tibetan Buddhism as well as conversations on representation and embodiment occurring across the disciplines today. Rae Erin Dachille explores how Ngorchen and Khédrup used citational practice as a tool for making meaning, arguing that their texts reveal a deep connection between ritual mechanics and interpretive practice. She contends that this debate addresses strikingly contemporary issues surrounding interpretation, intertextuality, creativity, essentialism, and naturalness. Buddhist ideas about the construction of meaning and the body offer new ways of understanding representation, which Dachille illuminates in an epilogue that considers Glenn Ligon's engagement with Robert Mapplethorpe's photography. By placing Buddhist thought in dialogue with contemporary artistic practice and cultural critique, Searching for the Body offers vital new perspectives on the transformative potential of representations in defining and transcending the human.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a thought provoking analysis for all of the spiritual seekers looking for answers. It’s for those who are open to all the possibilities of what could be. It’s about the mysteries and wonders of why we are here. The author’s studies and research into spirituality and religion have led him to find common ground between them. The premise of this book is based on his interpretation and understanding of the three main aspects of spirituality; the “Body”, the “Soul” and the “Link” which connects them. Part One “The Body”: Explains the basic understanding of how the physical body works in conjunction with thoughts, emotions and the decision making process. He believes the first steps to a healthy and balanced lifestyle is to listen to your intuition, stop and take a breath before reacting, and understanding the life force and how it can be utilized in your daily life. Part Two “The Soul”: How understanding the different aspect of your soul, which includes your inner self, is the foundation for your spiritual path. This will develop a spiritual awareness which in turn will give you the tools and opportunities to make decisions in your life with purpose. Part Three “The Link”: By understanding and utilizing the many ways your body and soul communicate is the core to spiritual growth. Listening to your intuition, being self-aware, living in the present moment and making conscious choices with loving intent, is the path to health and balance. Throughout these chapters, the author provides simple techniques and exercises that can be used in your daily life to help you connect and keep you on your spiritual quest. * The author will be donating 50% of his royalties to various charities that are in need.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores and addresses body search practices in prison environments from different angles (criminology, sociology, human rights and law) and discusses such practices in different national contexts within Europe. Body searches are widely used in prison systems across the globe: they are perceived as indispensable to prevent forbidden substances, weapons or communication devices from entering the prison. However, these are also invasive and potentially degrading control techniques. It should not come as a surprise, then, that body searches are deeply contested security measures and that they have been widely debated and regulated. What makes theses control measures problematic in a prison context? How do these practices come to be regulated in an international and European context? How are rules translated into national law? To what extent are laws and rules respected, bent, circumvented and denied? And what does the future hold for body searches?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healthcare decision makers in search of reliable information that compares health interventions increasingly turn to systematic reviews for the best summary of the evidence. Systematic reviews identify, select, assess, and synthesize the findings of similar but separate studies, and can help clarify what is known and not known about the potential benefits and harms of drugs, devices, and other healthcare services. Systematic reviews can be helpful for clinicians who want to integrate research findings into their daily practices, for patients to make well-informed choices about their own care, for professional medical societies and other organizations that develop clinical practice guidelines. Too often systematic reviews are of uncertain or poor quality. There are no universally accepted standards for developing systematic reviews leading to variability in how conflicts of interest and biases are handled, how evidence is appraised, and the overall scientific rigor of the process. In Finding What Works in Health Care the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommends 21 standards for developing high-quality systematic reviews of comparative effectiveness research. The standards address the entire systematic review process from the initial steps of formulating the topic and building the review team to producing a detailed final report that synthesizes what the evidence shows and where knowledge gaps remain. Finding What Works in Health Care also proposes a framework for improving the quality of the science underpinning systematic reviews. This book will serve as a vital resource for both sponsors and producers of systematic reviews of comparative effectiveness research.

Book excerpt: THE PRODIGAL SON HAD RETURNED Dale Metcalf had spent fifteen years running from his past. Then a string of suspicious deaths linked to a fierce epidemic forced the outbreak specialist to return to his boyhood home on Lobster Island with Dr. Tansy Whitmore—the one woman he'd never stopped loving. But the sinister incidents that coincided with their arrival on the windswept coastal island—a mysterious plane crash, a raging fire and a near-fatal attack—proved that someone desperately wanted them dead…. And now, in a race against time, could the two stormy lovers combat danger—and desire—before it was too late?

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A must-read owner’s manual for every body. Take a head-to-toe tour of the marvel that is the human body in this “delightful, anecdote-propelled read” (The Boston Globe) from the author of A Short History of Nearly Everything. With a new Afterword. “You will marvel at the brilliance and vast weirdness of your design." —The Washington Post Bill Bryson once again proves himself to be an incomparable companion as he guides us through the human body—how it functions, its remarkable ability to heal itself, and (unfortunately) the ways it can fail. Full of extraordinary facts (your body made a million red blood cells since you started reading this) and irresistible Brysonesque anecdotes, The Body will lead you to a deeper understanding of the miracle that is life in general and you in particular. As Bill Bryson writes, “We pass our existence within this wobble of flesh and yet take it almost entirely for granted.” The Body will cure that indifference with generous doses of wondrous, compulsively readable facts and information. As addictive as it is comprehensive, this is Bryson at his very best.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you struggling to connect with your church community? Do you find yourself questioning the core beliefs that you once held dear? Searching for Sunday, from New York Times bestselling author Rachel Held Evans is a heartfelt ode to the past and a hopeful gaze into the future of what it means to be a part of the modern church. Like millions of her millennial peers, Rachel Held Evans didn't want to go to church anymore. The hypocrisy, the politics, the gargantuan building budgets, the scandals--to her, it was beginning to feel like church culture was too far removed from Jesus. Yet, despite her cynicism and misgivings, something kept drawing Evans back to church. Evans found herself wanting to better understand the church and find her place within it, so she set out on a new adventure. Within the pages of Searching for Sunday, Evans catalogs her journey as she loves, leaves, and finds the church once again. Evans tells the story of her faith through the lens of seven sacraments of the Catholic church--baptism, confession, holy orders, communion, confirmation, the anointing of the sick, and marriage--to teach us the essential truths about what she's learned along the way, including: Faith isn't just meant to be believed, it's meant to be lived and shared in community Christianity isn't a kingdom for the worthy--it's a kingdom for the hungry, the broken, and the imperfect The countless and beautiful ways that God shows up in the ordinary parts of our daily lives Searching for Sunday will help you unpack the messiness of community, teaching us that by overcoming our cynicism, we can all find hope, grace, love, and, somewhere in between, church.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Army Research Institute is investigating requirements for using Virtual Environments (VE) in training dismounted soldiers. This experiment investigated full body representation (generic) versus a hand linked pointer on movement performance in an office building interior during a search task. The search task was used as a representative dismounted soldier activity in urban environments. The VE used a biocular Head Mounted Display (HMD) with head coupled and body referenced movement control. Sensors enabled participants to walk through the VE while performing the search task in six repeated trials. Movement time and number of collisions during discrete phases of the search task revealed no significant differences found between full body and pointer representations, although significant improvement was found over repeated trials. Field of view is discussed as a possible intervening aspect. A Simulator sickness questionnaire (SSQ) was administered before, during, immediately after the experiment, and after a recovery period. Significant changes in the SSQ were found over the course of the experiment, but were not related to the body representation condition. The results indicate a rapid onset of symptoms followed by some adaptation to the VE, and rapid recovery. The Immersive Tendencies Questionnaire administered pre-experiment, and the Presence Questionnaire administered post-experiment, were not significantly related to the body representation conditions.
