This volume, which is the result of an international conference with participants from the universities of Bochum and Tel Aviv in 2023, brings together twelve contributions that examine prayer in Judaism and Christianity as a place of religious identity construction. In addition to fundamental philosophical and theological questions about the counterpart of prayer and explanations of spiritual practice in intercultural contexts, literary strategies of prayer in the Hebrew Bible and in the texts of Qumran are analyzed. Other contributions explore the Jewish roots of Christian prayer traditions and point to current forms and functions of prayer in Jewish and Christian educational contexts and in the religious poetry of Shalom Ben-Chorin. The interdisciplinary analyses open up new perspectives on prayer as an expression of religious self-identity.[Das Gebet in judischer und christlicher Tradition. Identitat, Praxis und interkulturelle Kontakte] Der vorliegende Band, der auf eine internationale Konferenz mit Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmern der Universitaten Bochum und Tel Aviv im Jahre 2023 zuruckgeht, versammelt zwolf Beitrage, die das Gebet im Judentum und Christentum als Ort religioser Identitatskonstruktion beleuchten. Neben grundlegenden philosophisch-theologischen Fragen zum Gegenuber des Gebets und Ausfuhrungen zu spiritueller Praxis in interkulturellen Kontexten werden literarische Strategien des Betens in der Hebraischen Bibel und in den Texten von Qumran analysiert. Weitere Beitrage fragen nach den judischen Wurzeln christlicher Gebetstraditionen und verweisen auf aktuelle Formen und Funktionen des Gebets in judischen und christlichen Bildungskontexten und in der religiosen Dichtung Schalom Ben-Chorins. Die interdisziplinaren Analysen eroffnen neue Perspektiven auf das Gebet als Ausdruck religioser Selbstverortung.

o dia de folga do investigador Bartolomeu Franco, tres crianças so encontradas mortas em um galpo abandonado no residencial Milton Friedman, em Cataguases. Os corpos esto maquiados, com as mos postas, segurando flores de lantana e aneis com a inscriço "Ad immortalitatem". A investigaço leva Bartolomeu e seu parceiro, Cenoura, a um labirinto de corrupço, segredos do passado e um fanatico religioso obcecado por um decimo primeiro mandamento. Enquanto lida com a decadencia mental do pai e um caso no resolvido do delegado Medeiros, Bartolomeu descobre que o inferno no e lugar para o acaso e que a imortalidade pode ser uma sentença.A cidade e Cataguases, o tempo e o de hoje, o calor, insuportavel tanto das ruas quanto dos acontecimentos. Tres meninos so encontrados mortos em um galpo abandonado numa das regies mais endinheiradas da cidade, em uma cena do crime montada de forma meticulosa e teatral, com laivos religiosos. Na investigaço que se segue, acompanhamos a historia do principal investigador da operaço, Bartolomeu Franco. O que se destaca neste romance, cuja trama mescla especulaço imobiliaria com interesses politicos e corrupço policial, e o aspecto humano. Ainda que as avessas. No espere manifestaçes de heroismo, esperança na natureza humana ou belas redençes. O clima aqui e ainda mais arido que o de Cataguases.Bartolomeu se lança de forma obstinada a decifrar o crime. Teima em nadar contra a corrente de uma regio onde desde sempre quem da as cartas e o dinheiro, quando seria muito mais conveniente para ele ceder ao modus operandis do seu meio. A historia aos poucos nos leva ao fundo dessa obsesso por justiça, algo que sua falecida me pressagiara desde a infancia como a ruina do filho. O pressagio se concretiza: abraçar a carreira de policial chega como caminho inevitavel para ele, mas deflagra a furia do pai. A tragedia pessoal do pai de Bartolomeu com a policia mais um exemplo da desigualdade do tratamento dado aos corpos perifericos no cala a vocaço do filho nem seu senso de justiça, que o impulsionam como uma maldiço pessoal. Acompanhamos Bartolomeu enquanto essas forças cavam buracos fundos quase intransponiveis: o afastam da irm, o alienam do pai, que ele deposita em um asilo, e o deixam despreparado para qualquer encontro amoroso profundo. Tudo ocorre em silencio, como o proprio crime que ele investiga: cadaveres que deveriam gerar escandalo na cidade, mas que ninguem reclama. E o que esta no centro do romance so justamente historias no reivindicadas, que, parafraseando um dos personagens, passam a feder como carniça. Parecem enterradas, entregues a decomposiço definitiva, e nunca o so. Mesclando humor e peso, Vinicius Ferreira constroi com habilidade situaçes paralelas entre um enredo de suspense bem realizado e o drama de pessoas levadas ao desmoronamento no tanto por circunstancias externas, mas por pulses internas bem mais sombrias. Se a historia do homem triste e velha, como conclui outra de suas personagens, ainda assim no cansamos de querer ouvi-la.Ana Carol Mesquita

Silence is not empty.It is selective.In The Silent Lesson, the trials deepen. Sound is stripped away, commands are no longer spoken, and obedience is measured not by reactionbut by restraint. As Mara moves through chambers built to listen, erase, and compare, sheuders confrontation emerges: not only with the Sovereigns system, but with another initiate whose mastery of silence has always come at a cost.Here, power is no longer instruction.It is calibration.Through mirrored breath, competing stillness, and the quiet cruelty of comparison, Mara learns that obedience can bind two bodies at oncebut only one can endure without breaking. What marks her is not punishment, but recognition.The Silent Lesson is a slow, ritual-driven erotic novella focused on internalized control, consent through structure, and the moment silence stops being absence and becomes identity.For readers of psychological BDSM, ritualized power exchange, and erotic fiction where restraint carries more weight than force.

On November 7, 1940, the third-longest suspension bridge in the world began to twist like a ribbon in a mild wind. For hours, "Galloping Gertie" undulated wildly while spectators watched in horror. Then, it tore itself apart and fell into the Puget Sound. The only casualty was a terrified dog named Tubby trapped in a car.This engineering post-mortem explains the phenomenon of aeroelastic flutter (not simple resonance, as often taught). It details the hubris of designers who prioritized slender aesthetics over structural stability and ignored the wind tunnel tests. A definitive guide to why we now build bridges with trusses instead of solid plates, written in the wreckage of bad math.

Ask anyone if they have changed significantly in the last ten years, and they will say "yes, absolutely." Ask them if they expect to change significantly in the next ten years, and they will likely shrug and say "probably not much."This is the "End of History Illusion." We walk around with the unshakable conviction that the person we are right now is the finished productthe final, optimized version of our character. This illusion is the root of our worst decisions. We sign thirty-year mortgages, get tattoos, and choose careers based on the preferences of a person who will cease to exist in a decade."The Finished Product Fallacy" combines behavioral psychology and philosophy to dismantle the myth of the static self. It teaches you how to make decisions for a stranger: your future self. Learn to build flexibility into your life, avoid the trap of over-committing to a rigid identity, and embrace the terrifying but liberating truth that you are not done cooking yet.

For a decade, we have been told that "influence" is a commodity. Teenagers aspire to be YouTubers, brands throw millions at TikTok stars, and the number of followers is the new currency. But every market based on attention eventually corrects."The Influencer Bubble" argues that the golden age of the influencer is ending. Oversaturation, declining trust, and the rise of AI-generated content are creating a perfect storm. Consumers are tired of sponsored lives and curated perfection. The "de-influencing" trend is just the first crack in the dam.This book analyzes the economics of the crash. What happens when engagement drops? What happens when brands realize the ROI isnt there? It offers a roadmap for the post-influencer world, where community, expertise, and genuine connection will replace the hollow metrics of vanity.

Before 1961, many psychologists believed that watching violence drained aggressive impulses (catharsis). Albert Bandura suspected the opposite. He showed children a video of an adult beating up an inflatable "Bobo doll." When the children were later left alone with the doll, they didnt just playthey mimicked the exact violent assaults they had seen, even using guns and hammers.This book details the experiment that founded Social Learning Theory. It argues that we are not born violent, but we learn it through modeling. In an age of TikTok challenges and media violence, Banduras findings are more relevant than ever. We are the mirrors of our environment.

Gear production is undergoing a transformation. As demands for efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability continue to rise, digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, digital twins, and data-driven control systems are coming into sharper focus. But how far has this transformation progressed and where do conventional approaches still set the benchmark? The 2025 Aachen Forum on Gear Production (AFGP), organized by the Laboratory for Machine Tools and Production Engineering (WZL) of RWTH Aachen University in cooperation with the Research Association for Drive Technology (FVA), will address these questions with a special focus on the role of digitalization and AI in gear manufacturing. The program covers a broad spectrum: from AI-assisted gear design and visual analytics for tool wear, to digital process chains, multi-body simulations, and hybrid manufacturing strategies. Experts from industry and academia will present current developments, practical applications, and critical assessments of digital solutions in gear production. Participants will also have the opportunity to experience ongoing research firsthand during a guided tour of the WZL laboratories. An evening networking event will provide further space for in-depth technical exchange. AFGP 2025 offers a unique platform to discuss how digital and conventional technologies can complement each other and how gear production can evolve to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

The game was Elite, and it proved that you didnt need to draw every star by handyou just needed the right math."The Infinite Seed" traces the history of Procedural Generation, the invisible artist behind the most expansive experiences in gaming. From the chaotic dungeons of Rogue to the infinite terrain of Minecraft and the quintillion planets of No Mans Sky, this book explores the delicate balance between chaos and order.It is a journey into the minds of developers who play god, setting rules rather than placing assets. How do you ensure a computer-generated world is interesting? How do you prevent an algorithm from building a castle upside down? This book is not just for coders, but for anyone fascinated by the concept of infinity. It reveals how simple rules can create complex beauty, and why the future of entertainment isnt about building bigger studios, but writing smarter seeds.
